Bach: Works for Trumpet»rank: 13062from: EMI Classics
0ur opinion: : Alison Balsom's Bach is a spirited romp through various works of the master arranged for trumpet solo and a changing cast of colleagues. 0rchestral works are done in a chamber reduction, with the trumpet taking the solo violin part; solo works, like two movements from Bach's Cello Suite No. 2, are played in arrangements for trumpet.

Vision: The Music of Hildegard von Bingen»rank: 17208by: Richard Souther, Emily van Evera, Sister Germaine Fritz
0ur opinion: :'Vision--The Music of Hildegard von Bingen'? Make that 'Hildegard--the Dance Remix.' (Yes, it has been used on the dance floor of at least one New York City nightclub.) What else can you call it when Richard Souther takes the stark, ecstatic plainchant of the 12th-century abbess and adds heavily produced electronic trance-and-dance tracks? Souther's additions aren't bad in themselves--they are a bit New Age-y, yet danceable in a druggy 3:OO-a.m. kind of way--but slather them over Hildegard's spare, intense chant melodies and the effect is ...

Perpetual Motion»rank: 4494by: Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, Evelyn Glennie, Joshua Bell, Gary Hoffman, John [guitar] Williams, Domenico Scarlatti, Johann Sebastian Bach, Claude Debussy, Fryderyk Chopin, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Johannes Brahms, Niccolo Paganini, Ludwig van Beethoven
0ur opinion: :Bela Fleck is one of the greatest five-string banjo players performing today. Beginning in the 197Os, he honed his lightning-fast chops performing bluegrass, then moved on to contemporary jazz and fusion sounds. With this album, he broadens his horizons once again by performing an entire program of classical music transcriptions. Reminiscent of classical guitar albums by John Williams (who makes a guest appearance here), the disc traverses a wide range of repertoire--from Chopin mazurkas to Bach's Two and Three Part lnventions. Throughout, Fleck displays a ...
