Zappa perfects AVANT GUARDE ROCK ART
Zappa's true MAGNUM OPUS was a completely surreal take on "soundtrack albums", for a bizarre film never released for over 20 years. When I first heard a cut from this album, I think it was "Nine Types of Industrial Pollution" in an underground used record store in ...

This is exquisite! The best of human experience encoded on a simple CD disk.

Christmas all year round
I own several of Peter Pupping's CDs and enjoy them all. Gloria was the first one I purchased. If anyone appreciates the classical guitar, he or she will appreciate this CD. Peter's version of Canon in D Minor just blows me away, it was recorded in a mission in ...

A Wonderful Introduction to the Classics
With total playing time clocking in at 78:04 minutes of music, you'll be paying about 6-cents/minute, which is a better bargain than long distance phone calls, and often more rewarding! This disc is far superior than most other "Classics for Kids"-type recordings ...

A Must Have
These two really sound good together. If you're not so impressed with the music when you first hear it (I don't know if that's possible), check out the DVD that comes with it. You will gain such an appreciation for the music that's being played. Watch out for the guy ...

EMI Classics, 2006
Sublime
This is compositional improvisation at the highest possible level - stunning - with everything that music is or is supposed to have: the highs, the lows, the emotions, the amazingly transparent technical ability. Not only is she a brilliant performer of such composers ...

Admit it, they're good!
I remember back in the late sixties the original LP of "Switched on Bach" started showing up in record stores and causing quite a storm. Of course, being the proper musical snob and "purist" I was, I discounted them as being nothing better sounding than "tuned rubber ...
Burnt Weeny Sandwich
Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention
Zappa Records, 1995
Zappa Thrills Listeners!
This album is hilarious at times with songs like WPLJ, and the instrumental arrangements are testaments to Zappa's skilled, unrestrained manner of musical expression.

Bach
Surely you don't need me to review the guy. You know who he is, you've heard his music, and I hope you own some. So let me turn the podium over to a cat named Picasso, and you can read into that whatever you wish. She's in a chair, near the CD player. She has entered ...

Scary Music
I can honestly say that I've never heard another album or song in my life that transports the listener to such an alien realm. The music is so byzantine, layered, precise, fast....its a trip. I jokingly told my son that this is the music that robots listen to. Its ...

Swinging Bach
When the Swingle Singers take on Bach's polyphony at full speed, it's exhilarating. Very cleanly done, very fun, and the jazz drums and bass add nicely to the sound. Like many people, I have a soft spot for this group because my parents listened to them. (Next time ...
Renaissance: Music For Inner Peace
The Sixteen
Decca, 2005
Great Music, Fine Performances
First off, the title of this album is misleading. Only one of the tracks stems from the high Renaisance. The rest span from the Reformation period to contemporary. All of them are liturgical, all of a certain calm and meditative style--which could be inferred from ...

Teeming with classics
I purchased this for track #10, which I'd happened to hear on the radio...it stayed in my head until I tracked down the CD. I have a relatively basic working knowledge of classical music, so this long playing collection was an excellent and surprising introduction to ...
The Swingle Singers - Bach Hits Back ~ A Capella Amadeus

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

EMI Classics, 1998
Great stuff, but a note of caution
I really like The Swingle Singers, but I will leave for others to speak to the musicianship. This offering is great in that you get two discs for one very low price. The one word of caution is that both discs were previously released separately. Bach Hits Back is ...
Great Inventors and Their Inventions: Gutenberg - Bell - Marconi - the Wright Brothers (Junior Classics)

Really enjoyed
My 11 year old and I listened to this in the car. Very interesting stories about a variety of scientists. Only downfall is the british accent which my son didn't understand at times, I personally enjoyed it!
