Spanish Guitar Music

from: Sony

Release Date January 29, 2002
Gorgeous playing, excellent song selection... I listen to this while reading, or painting - it's great music for shutting down a "noisy" brain - very relaxing. Good quality sound, too. Lovely on rainy days, in winter with candles burning ... really adds to a contemplative (but not somber) ambience.

To those not used to 20th century composition, this might be a difficult listen. To those with ears for dissonance, this will be a pleasure.

Live in Vienna, Limited Edition (CD & DVD)

CD-Charts > Music > General
from: Denon Records

Release Date September 30, 2008
If you prefer having Andre's music in CD format you'll enjoy the selections on this CD. The DVD is a bonus piece with selections from several of his other DVD shows. It's a good DVD sampler, but only whets your appetite for more. If you prefer sitting down to a full DVD concert with Andre, then this CD/DVD Bonus Boxed Set may not be for you. I regard the full DVD 'Live in Vienna' as better value for money.

Glenn Gould: The Complete Original Jacket Collection - Amazon.com Exclusive

Release Date September 25, 2007
If you are looking for good Beethoven or mozart interpretations, search in somewhere else, otherwise, you will be very disapointed. Mr. Gould did not like these composers and his ungangly playing in their works evidence that. Well, nobody is perfect, anyway...

directed by: James Levine (Conductor)

Release Date September 16, 2008
I must admit at the onset that I had no intention of seeing, let alone buying this set, but the local PBS station KCET broadcast it and since I was not planning an outing I stayed in and watched it. I should say at the outset I have only seen this opera twice on stage, with San Francisco,1955 (Borkh and Weede--an under used and utilized singer) and in Vienna in 1972 with Christa LUdwig and Kostas Paskalis, one of the great evenings at the opera).Of course I owned the Verret performance and had heard the EMI edition of Callas. It is best to draw a veil over the Suliotus and the second Verret recordings. A friend lent me a VHS of the Glyndebourne performance with Paskalis and Barstow. I don't hesitate to state that in my pantheon of great performances this ... Read More:
