Britten: Billy Budd

CD-Charts > Music > General
starring: Peter Pears, Peter Glossop, Michael Langdon, John Shirley-Quirk, Robert Tear
directed by: Benjamin Britten

Release Date July 08, 2008
Britten: Billy Budd This recording was originally made in 1966 on the BBC. It has been carefully reconstituted in B&W and mono. Color and stereo would be nice, but the overall quality is such that their absence is not important. Personally I believe the B&W format improves the darkness of the opera. I highly recommend.

Beethoven - The Complete String Quartets / Alban Berg Quartet

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Ludwig van Beethoven, Alban Berg Quartet, Gerhard Schulz, Hatto Beyerle, Thomas Kakuska, Valentin Erben Günther Pichler

Release Date November 16, 1999
They play well, a very clean interpretation. I think they may be a starting point to Beethoven Quartets.It is possible to hear every instrument at all times and it is fine to know each part. But I like several other quartets in Beethoven.

The Chopin Collection

CD-Charts > Music > General
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.

Tchaikovsky: The Sleeping Beauty (The Royal Ballet)

CD-Charts > Music > General
starring: Tchaikovsky, Cojocaru, Bonelli, Nunez, Rosato
directed by: The Royal Ballet, Ovsyanikov, MacGibbon

Release Date August 26, 2008
This release of "Sleeping Beauty," a filmed performance by the Royal Ballet, was eagerly anticipated by myself after I watched the telecast. I think, all things considered, that this is the best Sleeping Beauty DVD on the market. Other videos might have finer individual performances (Margot Fonteyn, Yuri Soloviev, Alla Sizova) but those videos are all severely abridged versions of the ballet, and the video quality is not high. This "Sleeping Beauty" has a fine cast, great video quality, and an excellent production.

I'll go over several aspects of this video:

1. The production - The Royal Ballet has always prided itself on its production of Sleeping Beauty. The famous 1946 Oliver Messel production made Margot Fonteyn an international ... Read More:

Chant II

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Gregorian Chant, Ismael Fernandez de la Cuesta, Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos

Release Date October 17, 1995
If you like this type of modern music presented in a unique style with some excellent voices give this a try. the style is not to everyones tast, I'm hooked and my usual preference for music is more like linkin park and evanescence. But i love this in heavy traffic on the way home, it keeps down the road rage without having to listen to archaic religious latin verse.

Puccini: La Boheme [Blu-ray]

CD-Charts > Music > General
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.

Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto Op35; Brahms: Violin Concerto in D Op77

CD-Charts > Music > General
from: EMI Classics

Release Date October 17, 1995
I bought Milstein's rendition of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in 1967--I believe it was produced by Capitol Records. I got rid of all my vinyl records years ago, and subsequently found that none of the many CD versions by other artists measured up to this one. I was thrilled to see that it is now available on CD--and at a bargain price! This is one of my favorite CDs and I highly recommend it.

New Dawn

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Libera

Release Date September 02, 2008
Libera continues to put out great music. Though the music is basically the same type of music as their other CD's. This CD has a slightly different feel to it in my opinion. Their music is part ethereal and part just plain fun. They sound like they enjoy singing together and being part of Libera. It would be great to be able to see them live in concert to see that joy and enthusiasm that they put into their singing on the CD's. Anyone who is a fan of boy treble singers and boy's choirs should buy this CD.
