0ur opinion: :You want relaxing classical music that'll soothe your soul but won't lull you into sleep? Here's a double CD for you. The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World ... Ever! does its best to cover both well-worn classical favorites (Bach's 'Air on the G String,' Pachelbel's 'Cannon,' Debussy's 'Clair de Lune') and some eclectic left-field choices (an excerpt from Górecki's Symphony No. 3, Jocelyn Pook's 'Blow the Wind,' and Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.

Jacqueline du Pre - Favourite Cello Concertos ~ Boccherini, Dvorak, Elgar, Haydn, Monn, Saint-Saens, Schumann»rank: 5238by: 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 phrasing, raw ...

Elgar: Pomp & Circumstance Marches; Enigma Variations; Cockaigne Overture»rank: 9390from: EMI / Seraphim
0ur opinion: : Sir Adrian Boult's recording of the Enigma Variations with the London Symphony was made when both he and the orchestra were at their peak. lt reflects an extraordinary blend of spontaneity and the grand manner, and shows great insight into the score. Smooth, flowing, and majestic yet animated, it is a finely molded account in which every variation counts toward the whole. Boult's approach is direct and eloquent rather than rhetorical, but very expressive. The sound is closely miked and remastered at a very high level, ...

Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange (1971 Film)»rank: 15867by: Various Artists, Ludwig van Beethoven, Edward Elgar, Terry Tucker, Erika Eigen, Nacio Herb Brown, Gene Kelly
0ur opinion: :Stanley Kubrick's demanding perfectionism in all aspects of the filmmaking process has led to some of the most memorable soundtracks of the modern era. Kubrick's taste for the classics led to his scrapping Alex North's original score for 2OO1: A Space 0dyssey in lieu of the 'temporary' tracks he had used for editing, turning Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra into an unlikely 2Oth-century pop icon. For his 1971 adaptation of Anthony Burgess's cautionary future-shocker, Kubrick once again turned to the classics. Malcolm McDowell's protagonist Droog Alex's taste ...
