Discovering Masterpieces of Classical Music: Beethoven - Piano Concertos 1-5

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: Euroarts

Release Date November 20, 2007
This is truly one of the finest recordings of Beethoven's 5 Piano Concertos I've ever seen and heard. Barrenboim is marvellous as both soloist and conductor. EuroArts sound engineers did a superb job or catching every note flawlessly and the Statskapelle Berlin musicians were great.

40 Degrees North

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: EMI Classics

Release Date May 13, 2008
One or the best interpritations of the Vals Melodicos we have heard. On José's part,as an explorer performer, he found the different use of various guitars an added dimension to this selection of familar pieces.A deeply satisfing listening experience which we use frequently. Thank you Xuefei Yang.

This CD is masterful. It includes variety while maintaining a tranquil tone. I bought this along with the Rampal "Japanese Folk Melodies" CD, and am happy I have them both. They will provide many hours of pleasant escape. Highly recommend!

Kapell Rediscovered

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: RCA

Release Date May 06, 2008
The recording is wonderful despite the noise, and the performance is masterful. But while the mp3 files contain information for each track (album, performer, title, opus, movement), there is no mention of the composers. Most of the pieces are popular enough it's obvious. But really, this is basic and should be a part of each file.

We saw The 5 Browns in concert in Wausau, WI, purchased the CD, and have not stopped playing it. We think this 5-some is just awesome. God gifted and God glorified. Thank you Lord for giving them their musical gifts.

Classic Williams: Romance of the Guitar

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: Sony

Release Date May 02, 2000
Having listened to this CD I though it was outstanding. As a John William fan myself, I always find his technique absulutely brilliant and some of the tracks on there I haven't heard before, which is a bonus. I have quite a few CD's of him playing solo and together with Julian Bream. Also the group Sky he was with back in the early 1980's. This CD I have to say has got to be the best one yet in my collection of John Williams CD's.

I would recommend this CD to all John Williams fans. All so, this CD is genuine and is not a copy from the real thing, which is nice to know. So at least you know what you are buying is worth it's value for money.

It's a good CD for background soft music to enhance the atmosphere of the evening of romance.

Vivaldi's Cello

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: Sony

Release Date March 30, 2004
Look, this cd has its bright spots, but there is so much that just didn't work out with it. Firstly, the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra plays with its usual energy and authentic approach, but Yo Yo plays in a modern style. The two just don't mix. I keep expecting to hear some decorations to the cello line but there just aren't any. Some of the music is just played too fast such as the slow movement of the double cello concerto. It was almost as if playing baroque style for Yo Yo Ma just meant playing it faster. The slow movement of the winter concerto was completely empty of any kind of decoration or originality. It was just straight and flat.
And the transcriptions! Oh gosh, why transcribe music that is not suited to the cello? Vivaldi fans will miss the viola ... Read More:
