Messiah (George Frederick Handel) London Philharmonic Orchestra

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Handel, London Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, Alldis

Release Date March 12, 2002
Many envision Christmas when they hear Messiah spoken in reference to Handel's classical craftsmanship. I, personally, envision all year round listening rapture.

Handel's composition details various epics of Christ's life--His birth, ministry, crucifixion, resurrection and eventual Messianic millennial rule. You behold through Handel's orchestrated psalms, the Old Testament prophesies concerning Messiah encompassed with the New Testament fulfillments.

Handel's Messiah is remarkable as it is the inspired Scripture set to orchestration. Messiah is absent of Handel's words; only holding his masterful musical scores.

When you insert these CDs, Biblical truths arise in illustrious, serenading ecstasy. You ... Read More:

Andrea Bocelli: Under the Desert Sky [DVD Included]

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Andrea Bocelli

Release Date November 07, 2006
Andrea Bocelli is one of the greatest singers right now, this DVD is very good and I enjoyed it a lot. The CD that comes with it is OK, not so great, it only have very few songs. But I was buying the DVD not the CD.

Debussy's Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
from: Sony

Release Date August 09, 1994
This is a great CD to listen to after a stressfull day at work. Debussy was an impressionist musician, or that's what they called him during his life. Most people don't know that there were impressionists that were not painters, so this classical musician is a breath of fresh air even for those that do not like classical music.

Beethoven Lives Upstairs

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
starring: Neil Munro, Illya Woloshyn, Fiona Reid, Paul Soles, Albert Schultz
directed by: David Devine

Release Date March 18, 2003
Unlike the CD, "Beethoven Lives Upstairs,"--which was of superb quality--I was very disappointed in the DVD. I had hoped it would be exactly the story/conversations/music/etc. of the CD but simply put to live action. It was not! The character of Christoph was made much more whiny and disrespectful. The story was changed some from the CD. Conversations were different. Not nearly as much of Beethoven's music was heard. I would buy another story-CD in the Classical Kids series in a moment; I don't think I would ever buy another DVD in the series unless I could view it first.

Puccini: La Boheme [Blu-ray]

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
starring: Mula, Giordano, Capitanucci, Machado, Menendez
directed by: Lough, Lopez Cobos

Release Date August 26, 2008
This is an excellent Boheme in every respect. I would note that I own the regular DVD in a widescreen version, and although the "product details" of this Blu-Ray version indicate that the production is in a 1:33::1 aspect ratio (i.e., full screen), it is more than likely in widescreen (i.e., 1:77::1). It's an unfortunate fact that--every now and then--widescreen versions of some films are carelessly (and incorrectly) characterized as full screen.

Switched-On Bach

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos

Release Date October 02, 2001
even though it's been 40 years since it was released, Switched on Bach by Wendy (formerly Walter) Carlos is one of the best musical performances ever recorded. Anyone even remotely into classical music would enjoy this CD. I had this as a kid (on a record - ask your parents what those were) and it disappeared in all the moves. I was SO glad to find it again.

Vaughan Williams: Serenade to Music; The Lark Ascending; Fantasia on Greensleeves; English Folk Song Suite; In the Fen Country; Norfolk Rhapsody No. 1

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
from: EMI Classics

Release Date October 11, 1991
Many have already reviewed this CD very positively, so just a brief word. This is probably the most attractive intro. you could have to Vaughan Williams - all the works, whether well known or not so well known, are most beautiful, the recording is excellent and the performances under Boult, who knew exactly how to get the beauty and the poetry out of VW without losing sight of the structure, could not be better. You just can't go wrong - it's a glorious CD.
