Yehudi Menuhin, Bela Bartok, ...

unique movie and tv music selections

Telemann: Concertos & Sonatas

Georg Philipp Telemann, Louis Auriacombe, ...

Fantastic!
In his day, George Philip Telemann was more popular than Bach. But, as a Telemann fan, I GREATLY enjoy this CD. Additionally, I especially like flutes and violins. The CD includes one of Telemann's best pieces, Suite in A minor for Flute (Suite a-moll) which is a ...

One of the best CDs I own

The Best Classical Album in the World... Ever!

Stanley Myers, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

EMI Classics, 1996

Forget what they SAY
Many of these prior reviewers complain that the abundance of operas and vocals degrate this compilation. They don't know what they're talking about. These genres are what made Classical music popular in it's age. In that era the forum for showcasing "classical music" ...

It's better than three stars
I certainly cannot add any more than what the previous reviewer stated, but I do have something to say. I have an office job and like to listen to pleasant music while I work. I have listened to this CD quite a few times and have never found it to be dull or boring. ...

Great Brahms playing in a gentle mood
I agree with the reviewer below who calls these Menuhin-led performances inspiring. The two Brahms Sextets have been fortunate on recordings, with great accounts going back to the Casals Festival in the early Fifties. If you own the live readings by the combined ...
