Bach: The 6 Unaccompanied Cello Suites

CD-Charts > Music > Featured Performers- A-Z
from: Sony

Release Date June 06, 2006
Not exactly sure what I would do without these recordings. A world without Bach: a scary thought. My pulse slackens a bit each time I put these on. Relaxing, sure, but also tremendously moving. A perfect antidote for the trivial drone, distraction, and bustle of our post-capitalist world. No need to go buy new-age computer glitch world-music ambience; this is sonic therapy, written centuries before we needed it.

Divenire

CD-Charts > Music > Featured Performers- A-Z
from: Ponderosa Italy

Release Date June 10, 2008
This is wonderful music. Much of the music I listen to is "background" music for some other activity. This can be used for that, too (e.g., a nice dinner party), but this is also great just by itself, to sit and listen to. I also play the piano, and I have found it to inspire my own "off-the-cuff" compositions.

Vaughan Williams: The Collector's Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Featured Performers- A-Z
from: EMI Classics

Release Date July 08, 2008
I know people revere Boult and Handley and Hickox as the best of all possible interpreters for British music, along with Groves and Barbirolli and all of the other artists presented here. So please don't take offense as I pick apart this box set -- because it's not as great as some other reviewers make it out to be. Others can tell you why it's good (and it has LOTS of good stuff). Let me criticize it a little. Or a lot.

First, the packaging. I'm getting really tired of these box sets (Elgar on EMI, reissue of Stravinsky set on Sony, etc.) that are missing biographies or descriptions of the works outside of a track listing. Is it so hard to reprint the liner notes from the original releases? Why on earth do they not include ... Read More:

Sarah Brightman Classics

CD-Charts > Music > Featured Performers- A-Z
by: Sarah Brightman, Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni, Francisco Tarrega, George Frideric Handel, Fryderyk Chopin, Sergey Rachmaninov, Giacomo Puccini, Antonin Dvorak, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Ludwig van Beethoven, Joseph Marie Canteloube, Francesco Sartori, Paul Bateman

Release Date November 20, 2001
Love Sarah Brightman, however, this CD doesn't have one song on it in English. While I enjoy a mixture of her other CDs that are bilingual, this entire CD consists of songs in other languages I don't understand. Very disappointing. Played it thru only once. Probably won't play it again. No speakers on my computer so I can't "test run" these. My own fault, I guess.
