Time Life Presents: Classical Thunder

Time Life Records, 2005
Masterful!
This two CD set is magnificent. I got the set in the early 1990's when it was advertised on television, along with other releases in Time Life's set. I was struck by the interpretations of the conductors. Whenever I hear these pieces now, I judge them against this ...

Christmas Present From Polyphony
Polyphony, Stephen Layton
Hyperion UK, 2004
Choral perfectionists.
This is an essential Christmas choral CD. The program itself is fabulous and unique, lacking the tacky "favorites" found on most recordings of this type. Entirely a cappella except for two Rutter arrangements with orchestra. Not a single track is lacking in depth and ...

Beautiful music and scenery
I was unexpectedly pleased with this DVD. It can be used as a calming relaxation DVD or for more informational purposes. It comes with a descriptive booklet, but the same information is provided on the DVD. You can look up information about the places in each section ...

Ana Vidovic
Mel Bay Records, 2006
A musician with grace and intelligence
I had the good fortune of attending both a masterclass and recital by Ana Vidovic, and have been quietly, desperately in love with this wonderful musician ever since. Unlike many performers of her talent and generation, Ms. Vidovic often gives masterclasses in the ...

Streams & Currents
Steve Roach
Projekt Records, 2002
Stream and currents to carry your mind and soul
Roach's second guitar based work proves that is it not always the equipment or instrumentation that makes the artist or his works. Primarily known as a master of the synthesizer, Roach's guitar worlds flow with just as much emotion and impact as his classic ...

Brian Jones Presents: The Pipes of Pan at Jajouka
The Master Musicians of Jajouka
Philips, 1995
Instant Classic
This is the record that started the interest in Jajouka. Since most was already said, I will just add what I think is missing from other reviews. The Jajouka village is Arabic-speaking, not Berber, and definitely not "Aramaic". Their traditions are typical of whole ...

The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra Presents - Music Meets Business
Angelika Kirchschlager, Branford Marsalis
Euroarts, 2005
Orpheus Chamber Orchestra - an eye-opening video
Contrary to the above review, I find this DVD absolutely fascinating. It should be in the library of anyone aspiring to be a conductor or anyone in management. Orchestral musicians will find it extremely refreshing. It'll forever change the way you think of conductors.
