Simply Baroque

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: Sony

Release Date September 30, 2003
I bought this because I love to listen to cellos. On my Mark&Daniels,the sound is first rate, overall. ButI would have loved to have the cello given a bit more prominence, audio-wise. The accompanying instruments are aggressive enough to drown the cello out in the musical pictures, except for the first selection which is just fabulous.

Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music, Fifth Edition, Volume 1: Ancient to Baroque (6 CDs)

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: W. W. Norton

Release Date January 01, 2006
The CDs in this set are not packaged in standard jewelboxes nor even in cheap sleeves, but are mounted directly atop a printed surface. As a result, when I purchased the set from my school bookstore, I found that several of the CDs had dried flecks of ink on the data side that made it impossible to play or rip certain tracks. Beware.

Classical Destinations

Release Date August 14, 2007
I recommend this DVD to all classical music lovers, and armchair travelers as well.
My only regret is having visited some of the cities/countries featured here, and not having watched this DVD before! The photography, commentary, and music selection are wonderful!
I hope they'll soon put out Vol. 2, etc.
Thanks.

Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set)

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

Release Date October 17, 2006
The box is not too sturdy, but the CD cases are OK. I took one out and jumped on it repeatedly and it broke after about 4 tries. I think Deutche Grammaphon makes the best. Also, the box is not too stain-resistant (I tested it).

O Holy Night / Luciano Pavarotti / Special Deluxe Edition (Decca)

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: Decca

Release Date October 11, 2005
Pavarotti is in his prime for this one and the selections are both touching and grand. Mille Cherubini, a tender lullaby, is my favorite but his Agnus Dei is rich and grand. The choral backgrounds are also very good. I bought the cassette when it came out in the 70's and I am thrilled that they reissued it as CD to grace my 2007 Christmas .

Bach: Sacred Arias & Cantatas

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

Release Date September 16, 2008
DAVID DANIELS ROMANTICIZES BACH? LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!!
This is the first David Daniels Baroque Virgins Classic recording since 2002, when he recorded his much acclaimed Handel oratorio arias.

For this new release he returns to the Baroque Era with several significant sacred arias and cantatas by Bach, some of which are solos from the Passions according to St.Matthew and St. John and cantatas that include a very popular often recorded 'Ich habe genug' These were all recorded in London in September, 2007.

It is notable that Daniels has waited until his vocal skills and musical maturity has come to their highest point, and this was quite astute of him to do so. Many professional singers and amateurs as well will readily admit that ... Read More:

The Chopin Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Chamber Music
from: RCA Victor Europe

Release Date October 07, 1991
This is a bargain for the price, with GREAT sound quality! Warm, but also clear. The perfomances are great, specially the mazurkas and waltzes and sonatas. I thought the noctures where played a bit to "straight", but it depends what one compares it to. I prefer Cortot for about all the Chopin I've heard of him before 1934 (Although I like Rubinsteins sonata better) and brazilian G. Novaes for the nocturnes.
