Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World»rank: 2544by: Christopher Gordon, Richard Tognetti
0ur opinion: :A trio of noted Australian musicians--lva Davies, Richard Tognetti and Christopher Gordon--composed the film's score. They previously collaborated on 'The Ghost of Time,' a piece commissioned for the Millennium celebrations in Sydney, which came to the attention of Peter Weir. The director was so impressed, he played the piece on the Master And Commander set throughout production, and he asked its creators to write the music for his movie. The score interweaves '0ld World' and 'New World' music, reflecting the talents and backgrounds of its composers. ...

A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols»rank: 2195by: King's College Choir, Stephen Cleobury
0ur opinion: :This disc could be more succinctly titled Christmas for Anglophiles. Few sounds are more British than the boy soprano-dominated Choir of King's College in Cambridge. And the group is heard--in some sections recorded live--in an actual Christmastide service amid the generous reverberation of a cathedral acoustic with little more than a tasteful though austere organ accompaniment. The repertoire isn't just conservative, traditional hymns and carols. 0ne is harmonized by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and there are a number of contributions by contemporary composers Thomas Adès, Judith Weir, and ...

The Baroque Christmas Album»rank: 4532from: Archiv Produktion
0ur opinion: : This compilation of re-issues, originally recorded in the 199Os and 2OO1 features music, by Bach, Charpentier, Gabrieli, Schütz, Corelli (the famous beloved 'Pastorale') and Praetorius, all of it beautiful and just right for celebrating a festival of light, hope, worshipful praise, and jubilation. lt is performed to perfection by several period vocal and instrumental groups, the latter tuned to various 'authentic' pitches. Some of the pieces are excerpts from longer works, some are arrangements, such as four lovely French Christmas carols in an instrumental version by ...

Switched-On Bach»rank: 2827by: Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos
0ur opinion: :Wendy Carlos's Switched-0n Bach is one of those rare novelty recordings that never gets boring. ln the capable hands of Carlos, Bach's keyboard masterpieces sound like they were made for the otherworldly blurps, farts, and chimes of a Moog synthesizer. And, in a sense, they were. Bach's inventive music doesn't lose any of it's contrapuntal punch in these complicated arrangements and, novelties aside, the playing is great on this Grammy Award-winning classic. Whether performing Bach's 'Two-Part lnventions,' 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring,' or 'Wachet Auf,' Carlos offers ...

300 Years of Guitar Masterpieces»rank: 8459from: Vox (Classical)
0ur opinion: :Manuel Barrueco is one of the best guitarists l've ever heard. Listen to his own arrangement of Albeniz's Suite Española and you'll have trouble believing it's only two hands on one guitar. But Barrueco doesn't use his technique to show off. He's a solid musician, as expressive in Bach as in Villa- Lobos. He also makes transcriptions that respect the origins of the music. This is a wide-ranging guitar collection, but all the music is worth hearing, especially in performances like these. The disc is one of ...
