Philip Glass : Portrait

CD-Charts > Music > Historical Periods
by: Angele Dubeau, La Pietà, Philip Glass

Release Date October 14, 2008
This disc is quite a change from Angèle Dubeau & La Pietà previous album, the smooth and soothing Un Conte De Fees/Fairy Tale.
While exploring a whole new world with Glass Music, she reminds us of some of the incredible music he composed and she reminds us of some good films (Mishima, La Belle & La Bête). Captivating, never boring, with this Portrait, she made a moving disc.

Bach: Edition - The Complete Works

CD-Charts > Music > Historical Periods
by: Various

Release Date October 17, 2006
This is a very good collection. The set comes in a box that is a bit longer than a foot long. Each disc has its own cardboard sleeve with different art on each sleeve. The sleeve also says what is on each disc. The sleeves are color coded by organ music, cantatas, etc so it is very easy to find the disc you want. Also under the lid of the box is a list of all the CD's and what they contain. There is also a PC disc that I guess is the manual for all the music although I never used that. The music is very nice quality. I mainly like the Organ Music and the Brandenburg Concertos so I listen to those over and over. The few Cantata's I've listened to are also very good. I'm not a classical music expert but I certainly enjoy listening to ... Read More:

Mozart: Complete Works (170 CDs)

CD-Charts > Music > Historical Periods
by: Various

Release Date June 06, 2006
If you are a Mozart freak and just have to own all that genius's music, this is the least expensive way to start (though it is not an exhaustive collection). In general, it is a very good collection, performed by a wide variety of orchestras and singers. However, the quality on some of the CD's is noticably poorer than one might hope - lacking the clear, crisp sound you might expect on a $25 CD. But for this price for 170 CDs, it is still well worth the money.

I only wish they had recorded them chronologically so the listener could appreciate the development of Mozart's genius. Instead, they lump symphonies together and concertos together, etc. Not nearly as much fun.
