Bach: Concertos

CD-Charts > Music > Instruments
from: Archiv Produktion

Release Date March 13, 2001
There are nineteen concertos in this collection, twelve of which are for one or more harpsichords. The remaining seven are concertos for various other instruments including violin, oboe, etc. A potential buyer should be aware that many of Bach's harpsichord concertos are re-arranged versions of these other concertos - and in some cases both versions are in this collection. For example, the three violin concertos (including the "double" concerto) are presented in both their original and harpsichord arrangements. Two oboe concertos, whose original versions have been lost, are reconstructed from harpsichord concertos that Bach arranged from those originals. Both the reconstructed oboe and harpsichord versions are in this set. So the listener should ... Read More:

by: Various Artists

Release Date September 25, 2007
When I drive down the road in my 2006 Honda Accord and have this collection playing on my six changer cd player I feel like it's 1922 in Alabama and I'm in my Ford jalopy listening to some great radio station from the past. These songs not only tell stories of the past they make you feel for people you have never met. It's a great collection.

Music for Concentration

CD-Charts > Music > Instruments
from: Advanced Brain Techno

Release Date January 26, 2000
Hello:

Allow me first to say I'm a Law Student and the substantial amount of reading I face with everyday it is sometimes impossible to acquire concentration for extended periods of time. I bought this CD a week ago and i must say this was a gift from God. I play the CD while I do my usual readings and I have noticed that not only i go through my readings faster, but also everything I read sticks with me (reducing the law school chiche of READ, RE-READ and READ AGAIN in order to understand the law), PLUS the music is BEAUTIFUL!!!. I will definitely recommennd this CD if you're a student, or a workaholic or simply you jsut want to enjoy the riches of delighting your ears to the magnificent sounds of classical music.

Rachmaninoff: Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30 / Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23

CD-Charts > Music > Instruments
by: Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, Riccardo Chailly, Martha Argerich, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Kirill Kondrashin

Release Date August 15, 1995
I heard nothing but wonderful things about this recording, and when I finally gave in and bought the CD, I have never been more let down. Both of these concerti are favorites of mine, and I have studied the scores for both quite intimately. I also have numerous recordings of these works, but none fall as short as this one. It is definitely at the bottom of the pile.

The only thing that sets this recording apart from all other Rach 3's out there is the speed. I will give Argerich this much: she has a lot of balls to play this monster at that break-neck speed, but she just doesn't have the hands. The only recording I can find that is faster than this is Rachmaninoff's own version of it, and he had mammoth hands that could handle his unbelievable tempi.

Chopin is the most famous composer for the piano. Did you know that Chopin is Polish and that he created the modern piano style! He also change the nature of the piano, making the piano what it is today. Mr. Chopin wrote over 200 pieces for the piano. Chopin is the true classical pioneer of the piano. As the CD says, Chopin kept the spirit of the Polish people alive through all the wars and invasions from Russia and Germany and others. Chopin was a gentle intellectual musician, and would help his beloved Poland with his music, as it has done to this day.

The story is mixed with his story and music. As you listen, you'll say, "I didn't know Chopin wrote that!" At the end of the story, some of Chopin's greatest pieces are played by Ingid Haebler; soooooooooo moving ... Read More:

by: Sarah Chang, Placido Domingo

Release Date January 08, 2002
If you love Sarah Chang, you can't go wrong with this one. Ditto if you love Carmen, Meditation from Thais, etc. There's that one track, Ravel's Tzigane, I can't develop a taste for no matter who plays it (except possibly David Oistrakh on You Tube, watching his chubby cheeks hit both sides of his face). And guess what? Placido Domingo didn't sing a note. (LOL)
