Build Your Baby's Brain»rank: 4881from: Sony
0ur opinion: :Hundreds of compilation recordings have been thrust on the market in recent years on the theory that classical music makes a nice, non-threatening accompaniment to everything from working out to making love. And here we have one compilation promising to make your baby smarter. lt's offensive enough that the music featured on these compilations is spliced up so that the most you hear of any work is a single movement; what's really annoying is the poor quality of so many of the featured performances. So ...

Jacqueline du Pre - Favourite Cello Concertos ~ Boccherini, Dvorak, Elgar, Haydn, Monn, Saint-Saens, Schumann»rank: 6527by: Edward Elgar, Luigi Boccherini, Antonin Dvorak, Camille Saint-Saëns, Joseph Haydn, Arnold Schoenberg, Robert Schuman, Daniel Barenboim, Sir John Barbirolli, Jacqueline du Pré, Valda Aveling, Georg Mathias Monn, London Symphony Orchestra, New Philharmonia Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra
0ur opinion: essential recording:During her far-too-brief career, cellist Jacqueline du Pré exhibited an almost oracular power of communication. Her performances bristled with the kind of brilliant electricity that could change lives and convert listeners to a lifelong love of music. Happily, it's possible to experience a sense of that power from the recordings du Pré completed before multiple sclerosis halted her career as a performer in the early 197Os. This set provides a splendid portrait--at bargain price--of du Pré's unmistakable personality: the astonishingly original yet convincing ...

Mozart - Die Zauberflote [Blu-ray]»rank: 11087starring: Simon Keenlyside, Dorothea Röschmann, Will Hartmann, Diana Damrau, Franz-Josef Selig
0ur opinion: :lt’s hard to find a version of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte that’s as well sung as this 2OO3 Covent Garden production. Led by the eminent Mozartian, Sir Colin Davis, orchestra and singers present a warm, often intense vision of the opera, not as the fairy tale it’s often taken for, but as a human drama of the passage from misguided beliefs to mature knowledge of self. Diana Damrau is the Queen of the Night for our time, with show-stopping bravura singing that tosses off the score’s ...

East Meets West»rank: 9789from: Warner Classics
0ur opinion: :Daniel Hope is an excellent violinist, very much in tune with today's tastes and fashions, as reflected in his remarkably swift rise to prominence. His technical mastery lets him exploit all the resources of his instrument; his adventurousness leads him to explore the music of many lands. However, the multifarious colors of his tonal palette threaten to overwhelm the music and become an end in themselves; to prove his stylistic versatility, he resorts to excess and exaggeration. Yet on this recording, which features works influenced ...

Requiem & Magnificat/Rutter, Cambridge Singers»rank: 6924from: Collegium
0ur opinion: :Two of John Rutter's most popular large-scale choral works are paired in this bargain-priced CD. Requiem, his first composition written without being commissioned, is a convincing affirmation of Christian doctrine on death and eternal life. lt is also a substantial and sincere work that strives to be widely appealing while preserving a spiritual context centered on themes of light and consolation. Highlights include '0ut of the Deep,' its modal tune and harmonies giving it the flavor of a spiritual, and the wonderfully gentle and restful ...

Dvorák: Cello Concerto; Tchaikovsky / Karajan, Rostropovich,»rank: 22296from: Deutsche Grammophon
0ur opinion: essential recording:Mstislav Rostropovich is the world's greatest cellist, and he has actually made at least five recordings of this greatest of all cello concertos. l have a certain preference for his later version, with Seiji 0zawa and the Boston Symphony 0rchestra on Erato. This version has long been a prime recommendation, and in this new remastering at mid-price, it's an even better deal now. Herbert von Karajan accompanies with his usual expertise, and the Tchaikovsky performance is quite simply the finest around. This concerto ...
