Beethoven: The Five Piano Concertos»rank: 16485from: Philips
0ur opinion: :Recorded live in 1983, Alfred Brendel's third go-round with these works drastically improves on his previous Beethoven concerto cycles. He finds a calmer, more direct route to the Emperor Concerto, although the Fourth's first movement is still pock-marked with finicky phrase adjustments that pull focus from the music's poetic arcs. Levine provides sympathetic and alert support, yet is much more than a mere deferential accompanist. --Jed Distler

The Very Best of Beverly Sills»rank: 28945from: EMI Classics
0ur opinion: :Details TBA. EMl. 2OO5. :Beverly Sills hardly needs an introduction.

Naqoyqatsi (Score)»rank: 58563by: Philip Glass, Yo-Yo Ma
0ur opinion: :Director Godfrey Reggio's Hopi-inspired Qatsi trilogy is one of most ambitious and challenging film cycles ever attempted. With groundbreaking visuals, the non-verbal films examine--and inherently critique--the rapid transition from the natural order to a world dominated by human culture and technology. Critical to the films' success has been the music of Philip Glass, for whom the projects have variously represented an entrée into a rich film-scoring career and compelling motivation for expanding his minimalist technique. ln the first two chapters (Koyaanisqatsi, 1983; Powaqqatsi, 1988), the composer's music ...
