Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)»rank: 798from: Decca
0ur opinion: :Anyone discovering this album who had never heard or heard of Luciano Pavarotti would immediately recognize greatness, a one-of-a-kind, one-per-generation (maybe) talent and personality that commands attention, respect, and yes, even love. These 35 selections are an astonishing achievement: Taken, for the most part from the tenor's prime--the 197Os and '8Os (although there are four earlier and three from 2OO3)--what we hear is golden tone, impeccable diction, an innate sense of style and line and where the music should ...

25 Mozart Favorites»rank: 502from: Vox (Classical)
0ur opinion: :This is an astonishing collection of works - or parts of works - by Mozart that covers almost every aspect of his creative output: symphonic, religious music, concerti (for piano, horn, violin, clarinet, flute), chamber music, serenades (for strings; winds), a couple of opera overtures and more. Those who know and love Mozart's music will not need this, but it's a great introduction, a great overview. The selections are well-chosen and interestingly organized, with familiar pieces splrinkled among some ...

Build Your Baby's Brain»rank: 1435from: 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 ...

Mozart: Violin Concertos»rank: 2611by: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Raymond Leppard, Sir Colin Davis, London Symphony Orchestra, New Philharmonia Orchestra, Arrigo Pelliccia, Arthur Grumiaux
0ur opinion: essential recording:At the ripe old age of 19 Mozart wrote five violin concertos, and they represent his coming of age as a composer of orchestral music. From here on, it's basically one masterpiece after another. Though not difficult works, technically speaking, they partake in full measure of Mozart's uniquely sensual brand of melody. That means that successful performances must know how to spin out a singing musical line, while at the same time making the most of the ...

Amore: Romantic Italian Love Songs»rank: 13784from: Decca
0ur opinion: :From Calaf's 'Nessun dorma' from Turandot, in which the singer exclaims his love for the ice princess and the victory he will have over her, through Lionel's realization that he will have a new life and be happy with Lady Harriet in Martha ('M'appari'), and on to Rodolfo's falling in love with Mimi in La Bohème when he touches her hand ('Che gelida manina'): here we have some of opera's most beautiful love songs, sung by Pavarotti when he ...

Jacqueline du Pre - Favourite Cello Concertos ~ Boccherini, Dvorak, Elgar, Haydn, Monn, Saint-Saens, Schumann»rank: 2353by: 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 ...
