Six Cello Suites performed on viola
Johann Sebastian Bach
,
Patricia McCarty [viola]
Ashmont, 2000
Sheer Brilliance
Wonderful, inspiring, beautiful. Music like this is why I took up the Viola. The marrying of Bach, with the skill of Patricia and the acoustics of the location make this an enthralling experience. I can not recommend this highly enough.
Music Aboard The Titanic

Inside Sounds, 1998
This 1997 CD came before the movie and it's a masterpiece...
In 1996, Carl Wolfe was commissioned to arrange music from the Titanic playlist (used by the White Star Line musicians) for the 1997 Titanic Exhibition. It is officially endorsed by the exhibition. Since its release, dozens of other CDs have followed, hoping to ...

Decca, 2003
Clear as a bell
Tosca has been one of my favoirtes for over 40 years. Saw it at the Met, and in Philly, where else? Best memory was my first date with my wife of 35 years -- we went to the school library and spent Saturday afternoon sitting at the turn tables listening to it together ...
Twelve Fantasias performed on viola
Georg Philipp Telemann
,
Patricia McCarty [viola]
Ashmont, 2006
Wonderful music, wonderful performance
The 12 fantasias for solo violin written by Telemann are profound examples of musical miniatures: each of them consists of 3-4 movements concentrated in 5-7 minutes. We have here all the best of Telemann: melodies of genial simplicity, smart counterpoint executed by ...
I Got a Bullfrog: Folksongs for the Fun of It
David Holt
High Windy Audio, 2000
Not For Children Only
I checked this CD out of the library for my five year old but it quickly became one of my favorites (I'm forty!). Very well done.
Grieg: Lyric Pieces (Performed on Grieg's Piano)
Edvard Grieg
,
Leif Ove Andsnes
EMI Classics, 2002
Sensitive modern pianism
Borrowing a phrase from the contemporary political philosopher Fukuyama a case can be made that the world of classical piano music has reached "the end of history". This notion is based on the often heard idea that it only takes two clicks to get superior performances ...
Not Sousa: Great Marches Not by John Philip Sousa, Vol. 1

Edwin Eugene Bagley

Altissimo Records, 2006
Nothing New Here!
Despite putting together a CD of non-Sousa marches (something very hard for Altissimo! to do) there is really nothing new and interesting here. Most of the marches taken from the Marine band Library are very popular works that are almost as well known in the USA as ...
Bach Unaccompanied Cello Suites: Performed on Double Bass
Johann Sebastian Bach
,
Edgar Meyer
Sony, 2000
Still my favorite bass cd
Without the tone of the instrument, you would never guess that a bass was playing at this level of precision. The pharisees of classical music who critique Meyer's performance for not sounding enough like a cello or not being Baroque enough is the equivalent of ...
A Victorian Christmas
Robin Petrie
Gourd Music, 1991
Lives Up To It's Title
Robin Petrie, perhaps the finest hammered dulcimer player in the world, has put together the ultimate Victorian Christmas cd. From the selection of carols to the traditional style in which they are played, this is a 'museum piece,' that is, worthy of historical value. ...
6 Suites for Cello Solo/ Yehuda Hanani
Yehuda Hanani
,
Johann Sebastian Bach
Eroica Classical Recordings, 2000
A wonderfully insightful vision of the suites.
Mr. Hanani's intimate vision of the suites as polyphonic compositions is brought to life in every moment of this recording. Never oppressive, the freedom taken with ornaments, color and tempo choices really make this a vision shared rather than an illustration handed ...

Bridge Records, Inc., 2004
This disc presents superb new recordings of two Copland masterpieces-the original version of the "Appalachian Spring Suite" and the jazz-influenced "Music for the Theater". Conductor Steven Richman and His Harmonie Ensemble/New York have a long history with these two works. In 1980, in celebration of his 80th birthday, Aaron Copland conducted ...

Musically Speaking, 1987
Falla. Nights in the Gardens of Spain and The Tree-Cornered Hat. Nights in the Gardens of Spain is scored for solo piano and orchestra and it unfolds in the three-movement design traditional to concerto form. Its melodies conjure up the sound of Spanish fold music and its orchestration includes effects that imitate the strumming of guitars and the ...
