Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

Beautiful music; gorgeous playing.
No violinist I've ever heard has a tone as gorgeous as Gil Shaham. Shaham's gorgeous tone, as well as his artistic taste and easy-going temperament, make this excellent collection of violin romances a joy to listen to. This may or may not be great music, depending ...

Elgar: Pomp & Circumstance Marches; Enigma Variations; Cockaigne Overture

Edward Elgar, Adrian Boult, ...

EMI / Seraphim, 1995

Noble Elgar, unbelievable price
This is not some schlock budget disc, which the price might suggest. Boult was one of the great Elgar interpretors (Barbirolli too) and these performances, especially the inspired Enigma Variations, bring out the very soul of Elgar. Sound quality, by the way, is ...

Elgar: Cello Concerto; "Enigma" Variations

Jacqueline du Pré, Edward Elgar, ...

Sony, 2005

A word about DuPre and the 'Elgar'
Why has one piece of music here, the Elgar Cello Concerto played by Jacqueline DuPre become so legendary? Of course it is the music itself. It has an overpowerful haunting deeply hypnotic feeling. Elgar wrote it after his recovery from a serious illness towards the ...

Jacqueline du Pré, William Pleeth, ...

EMI Classics, 2007

A Fitting Memorial to a Great Artist -- and an Astonishing Bargain
That Jacqueline du Pré was a great musician, as well as an extraordinarily courageous human being, is beyond dispute. Though her recorded legacy, most of which is included in this inexpensive box, tends to be uneven, given the circumstances of a career tragically cut ...

The Opera Band

Georges Bizet, Antonin Dvorak, ...

RCA Victor, 2004

Definitive
Beautiful! Even friends who've never cared for opera love this one. A tonic at the end of a grueling day, a weekend afternoon introspective, a late-night lead-in to a flight of dreams ... a whisper of angels.

Fiedler's Favorite Marches

Great Marching Music
Even though I am a Yankee I still love "Dixie." This is great music for pre-school children and those just entering school. I think it helps build character. I like this album.

Paul Ben-Haim, Edward Elgar, ...

The best violinist ever!
All I can say to this CD is it's the best I've ever heard. In this CD, Itzhak Perlman truly demonstrates his best performances of the past years. I have always been a great admirer of Perlman, but since I own this CD, it's all I've listened to for the past three ...
