Fast and "Boomy"
I've given up on the notion that there's only "one" best recording of an opera. Certainly, there are classics, e.g. Callas' Tosca. Still, there is so much variation in opera in terms of multiple singers, an orchestra, etc. that it's hard to tell someone they should ...

Brunnhilde Was Not Happy
I love this set and wouldn't be without it and think the remastering is an improvement over the first generation CD release. It is somewhat interesting that Decca hasn't re-mastered it further. Anyway, interesting that Birgit Nilsson was never really that happy ...

Great Sampler!
This is a good sampler, since it covers what you would want in a classical music CD. Looking at the tracks, it has the classic hits, such as "Ride of the Valkyries," "Toccata and Fugue," "Fanfare for the Common Man," "'Jupiter' from `The Planets,'" "Eine Klein ...

I Wish There Is a DVD for This Cast!!!
I bought the recording in the tape form years ago. I could not listen to it any more because of the wear after I played it too many times. Fortunately, technology came to the resue, CD!!! The tenderness, emotion, range, and capacity, from a delicate note to a full ...

For Every Day of Every Year
Many envision Christmas when they hear Messiah spoken in reference to Handel's classical craftsmanship. I, personally, envision all year round listening rapture. Handel's composition details various epics of Christ's life--His birth, ministry, crucifixion, ...

Wonderful Album Wonderful Music
We couldn't be happier with this album! Having been raised in the Methodist tradition our world was brightened by this music and listening to the music is like going home! My husband, from England and the anglican tradition, says that was raised with this music also, ...

Bargain-priced magic
This CD is fantastic! All three concertos are very enjoyable and expertly played. The cello concerto and the violin concerto are great, but our favourite is the piano concerto, which sounds like it has a great first movement, no middle movement and 2 finales! If you ...

Great music listein to while you read in bed

Spare brilliance
Spending a lot of words describing Pärt's music seems like defeating the purpose. It is transcendent, haunting, solemn, quiet, and all the other things the other reviewers say. I view it, stylistically, as somewhere between the minimalism of Glass et al, and the ...

Great collection of songs and arias.
I used to think that this wasn't Opera, but now I found out that there was more to music than that of scary music, and scary film scores. That being said, this Cd is the best. The arias on the first Cd are filled with emotion, because they take me back to a time when ...

This is a great CD, however, it needs to be listed as just "snipets" of classical pieces - they are just excerpts from each classical theme.

glorious gerontius
EMI recorded Gerontius under Boult very near the end of the conductor's active career. He had known Elgar (they first met around 1903) and was very highly thought of by the composer, who is on record as believing that the future of his music was safe in Boult's hands. ...

I'm a contractor but I cry every time I listen to the maestro. If you have any sensitivity and/or a nostalgic bone in your body... go for it. I received it as a gift from my wife and purchased a used one on Amazon for my sister. A lot of music with two full CD's and ...

Great Classical Spectrum
These cd's are a great set of varied classical music. Pavane is my favorite. Additionally, Classical Chillout 2 offers theme music from Harry Potter and it is very well done.
