Mozart is my most favorite composer, Perlman my most favorite violinist, and Barenboim my second most favoriate pianist (Vladimir Ashkenazy being my first). When you have all three together, even more spendid!
I also recommend Barenboim's Mozart Piano Sonotas. I personally think it is the best Mozart Piano Sonata set out there.

CD has a good selection of songs, particularly for a formal wedding; however the last 5 songs on my CD were garbled so I can't evaluate those.
Worth the money, and I would buy again (hoping that the entire CD was clear and easy to understand.

Mozart's piano sonatas are like listening to ice cream. They are just music. And I mean this in the most positive sense. Mozart's good artistic taste manifests itself in being profoundly unpretentious and self-effacing. As Raymond Chandler said, "There is no great and important art; there is only art... and precious little of that."
Mozart's music is inconsequential as music so rarely is. It asks very little of the listener and provides so much. It is for this reason that it is perfect background or atmospheric music. It GOES with things in the way that Schubert (e.g.) does not. I recommend eating vanilla ice cream while listening to Mozart piano sonatas. This will afford you an experience of synesthesia that blows the mind.

What a terrific gem of a CD! The compilation, arrangement and acoustical recordings are purposeful and greatly appreciable. Opening with Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody (Horowitz arrangement) is a stunning and bracing performance which I do not recall having ever heard better. Chopin and Rachmaninov pieces here are familiar but have new and subtle interpretations and they are lovely. It has been said the human vocal cord may have as many as 5000 vibrations per second and you will surely believe it when you hear the last piece featuring Andrea Bocelli along side Lang Lang's accompaniment. Brilliant.

For many years the Fournet Pearl Fishers was my go-to recording. I still have a place in my heart for it, particular moments that are delicate and sweet as no other. However, when I feel the need to hear the opera now, this is the recording I play. It is very good.
The performances, especially that of Barbara Hendricks are lovely. The recorded sound is a pleasure compared to the others, whereby one hears the full lushness of the music, the dreamy quality of an exotic and secreted Ceylon (Sri Lanka). My only regret (and this goes for all the available recordings of which I'm aware) is that more sweep and punctuation, particularly in the form of tempi is lacking. I find that the conducting hesitates to bring forth moments that would add so much more ... Read More:

I am not sure if it is the best Vivaldi recording ever but it must definately place high on the list. It is a pleasure to listen to!!!

Fantastic!! Since his first cross-over CD/DVD, "Under The Desert Sky", I have awaited another such set. I have listened and viewed it many times and it just gets better. One of our most prized operatic voices heard today. The wonderful artists that appeared on stage and performed with him were outstanding. The backdrop of the Tuscany countryside was beautiful and well chosen. I look for more of these entertaining concerts which I prefer over classic opera.

I was excited to get this as a gift. Then I played it. I expected some fun and Sambas. Pretty dull, very little cello, not even pleasant as background music. I put my copy in the pile for Good Will.
