Great to Hear All those great Voices from the Past
I just wanted to confirm what the first reviewer had to say about this CD. To hear Ethyl Merman, Mary Martin, Andrea McCardle etc. singing their trademark songs brought a lot of memories from the mid-centry musical theater back again. The last song by Glynis Johns is ...

Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies
Beethoven's Wig
Rounder / Umgd, 2004
A must for Beethoven's Wig fans
There are just as many great sing alongs in this CD as in the first. Most of the tracks are very singable (the Brahms piece is difficult). Lots of fun and plenty of goofy lyrics.

A new haunting sound to Ennio Morricone
The layering of instruments on this CD is quite noticeable. Yo-yo ma cello gives Ennio's scores a painfully haunting sound but still beautiful. I love scores and but none has made such a moving impression on me quite as this CD did. If you enjoy this CD, you should try ...

Incredible Voice - Fantastic Sonds
Sarah Brightman continues her incredible career with this CD. I can listen this over and over again. I had the pleasure to actually see her in concert perform the songs from this CD. Amazing experience.
Martha Argerich Plays Chopin: The Legendary 1965 Recording
Frederic Chopin
EMI Classics, 1999
Staggering virtuosity
These Chopin recordings of Martha Argerich from 1965 are an example of staggering virtuosity of the highest order. She is one of the few pianists I've heard that could rival Michelangeli for technical ability(though both could be erractic at times, with the Italian ...

no review necessary
writing a review of this seems fairly inconsequential, if I projected negative-isms would that dilute the lines of receipts? or interest?, I would not only be required to apologize for negative quips, but seek counseling,for some pathological illness, some cognitive ...

Great music well performed
This is a great recording of music in the classic style of the grand musicals. The voices are spot on and the instrumentation is alive, especially with the horns adding excitement.

Great singer and actress all in one
The first time I saw Kristin Chenoweth in a movie was the TV "Music Man". Just lately I listened to the "Wicked" soundtrack, and after that, I've been listening to Kristin's CDs whenever I can. This one is a jazzy, Broadway-type CD with fun, engaging songs. She's a ...

Mildred Kaye's review of 1776 CD
1776 is of my all time favorites. I love flavor of the music of the 18th century in the development of the songs. This is a very powerful exposition of this seminal episode in the history of America. 1776 gives life to the familiar historical figures and ...
Beowulf
Benjamin Bagby
Koch Vision, 2007
The best way to "get" Beowulf
Benjamin Bagby's performance on stage of the first third of Beowulf is magnificent! It goes through Beowulf's killing of Grendal, but does not include Grendal's mother or the dragon. We don't know how Beowulf was sung but Bagby does a very careful job of imagining ...
