Barenboim on Beethoven - The Complete Piano Sonatas Live from Berlin

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
starring: Daniel Barenboim

Release Date February 06, 2007
This is what barenboim was born to do,its amazing how much better he is on the piano than conducting,from the first sonata to the last he masters them all,my favorite is the waldstein.I think hes always had a great understanding of beethoven even his conducting some of his symphonys, but this set is among the finest on disc.

Vision: The Music of Hildegard von Bingen

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
by: Richard Souther, Emily van Evera, Sister Germaine Fritz

Release Date November 01, 1994
If Hildegard Von Bingen wrote music for a hip lounge, this would be it. Its amazing that music this old ( from the 1100's) can sound so wonderful and modern with the addition of modern instruments. It really energizes the old music I have couple of recordings of Hildegard's music with out the addition of lounge, and this wonderfully differant. Lounge or medieval, Hildegard is always wonderful.

Bach: Goldberg Variations

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
by: Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia

Release Date October 03, 2000
This is one of the most beautiful performances of the Goldberg Variations ever. Perahia allows the listener to hear the music anew, offers a definitive interpretation, but always gives prominence to Bach. For me this is a much more satisfying performance than Gould's, which amazingly still has its cult devotees. Gould's Goldberg is about Gould, not about Bach. Perahia's Goldberg is about Music.

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!

Release Date August 11, 1998
I Bought this for my 18 year old Autistic son. He loves music. Sometimes he gets wound up so I thought this would be good to help him unwind at night before he goes to bed. He seems to like it a lot. I know I do. It is good to add the classics to our collection.

Jacqueline du Pre In Portrait

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
starring: Jacqueline du Pré

Release Date September 21, 2004
Este es un DVD excelente para todos los que aman la Música con mayúsculas, sobre la más grande intérprete de cello. Música interpretada de una forma casi no-humana, algo más había en esta mujer increíble.
La filmación del concierto de Elgar es absolutamente antológica y los reportajes de Nupen son esclarecedores e imprescindibles. Un dvd altamente recomendable.

Beethoven at Bedtime: A Gentle Prelude to Sleep

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: Philips

Release Date April 11, 1995
TRY, just TRY to do a massage to Fur Elise. It just can't be done! It wasn't very relaxing. I felt like I should be doing tapotement or something. Threw my rhythm way off.

BUT as a CD, it's lovely. :)

Telemann:Tafelmusik (Complete) [Box Set]

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

Release Date June 29, 2004
For those of you who like or, as I do, love Baroque music it doesn't get better than this. If you have not gotten past the three giants of Baroque---Bach, Handel and Vivaldi---it is time you discovered the magic of the most prolific of them all---Telemann. I have a great deal of Telemann's music, up until now only vocal music, many cantatas and a couple of delightful operas. Now I am into Telemann's instrumental music and have acquired quite a few CDs. I think his Tafelmusik is the best. But truly I don't think he ever wrote a bad note. Everything he wrote has a certain spirit, a joie de vivre. This set is ridiculously cheap and I heartily recommend it.
