Faure: Requiem and other choral music

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: Collegium

Release Date February 29, 2000
After hearing this piece of work on two different occasions on the same day, I felt that I needed to have it. All the choices always make it difficult to choose, so I ended up buying this version. I am utterly amazed with this beautiful piece of music, by its the performers and just the cd in general.

What can be said about the most beautiful and exciting cellist playing the most beautiful music selection perfectly recorded.
I laughed, I cried and above all I wished she was around today.
The angels turned in their harps for cellos.

Dmitry Shostakovich: String Quartet Nos. 2,3,7,8 & 12

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

Release Date February 01, 2000
shostakovitch wrote crazy awesome music, and worked with the borodin string quartet while he was composing quartets; this suggests (to me) that the borodin quartet is the best suited in the world to interpret his works; though the original members who worked with shostakovitch no longer play in the group, the original cellist was still with the group at the time of this recording, and surely, experience, knowledge, and wisdom have been shared with new members as they were introduced to the group.

this is amazing, powerful, often bewildering stuff- i love it.

The Anna Russell Album

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music

Release Date July 26, 1991
Miss Russel quite funny as usual, but buyers should be warned that these CDs are cheap reissues lacking the original booklet with all the texts and lyrics.

Unfortunately they are not advertised as such !!!!!!

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!

Liszt: The Two Piano Concertos; The Piano Sonata

No fan of Richter should be without this disc. His interpretation of the two piano concerti ranks among not only the best but also among the highly out of the ordinary ones.

Prayer: A Windham Hill Collection (CD)
by Michael Manring
If you're a high-strung person like me, I recommend this beautiful, gentle, instrumental music that is both soothing and emotionally engaging, yet never maudlin. It has been a "God-send" while driving in heavy morning rush-hour traffic. Despite all the aggravations caused by socially-challenged drivers who don't know how to share the road, I find that I still arrive at work calm and centered thanks to the beneficial effects of this masterful Windham Hill CD. After weeks of listening to it every single morning, it's still not boring. I strongly recommend it for Type A personalities!

Bach: Cello Suites

Release Date October 07, 2003
For Mr. Get Real[your nom-de-plume and your review is an oxymoron!] - what a lot of pretentious, overblown nonsense. I bet you were bullied at school! It's about the music, the interpretation, the feeling - not +/- decibels etc etc. Your review did nothing for casual classical music listeners.
To anyone else with ears either side of their head - listen to the cd and enjoy it for what it is!
