Story line is interspersed with a nice variety of classic christmas songs and poems in a setting that enhances the meaning and understanding of the words!!! It addresses both the Santa and Christ of christmas and keeps the focus of the holiday... read full review | report as inappropriate
I like this CD just fine but it was not what I expected or really what I wanted. I was looking for an all instrumental Christmas CD for my Autistic son. He does not particularly like the Christmas narration or the singing. I will make sure to... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Valery Gergiev, Tchaikovsky, Kirov Orchestra and Choir - (Audio CD) - 1998 ... more
This is an excellent recording of the Nutcracker! It's wonderful to have the full ballet instead of just selections from the suite. The music somehow stays timeless even after millions of seasonal ballet performances and use in shopping malls.... read full review | report as inappropriate
I heard this recording on the radio, and could not believe that a recording company would release such a hideous performance. It is technically unsound because the tempi are so fast in many places that the notes do not speak on even the violins,... read full review | report as inappropriate
If you came to love Nutcracker from trekking out to see the ballet for Christmas, this is probably not your recording. As many others have remarked, ballet requires a certain tempo; this one is too fast. To me it sounds as if the entire... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Libera - (Audio CD) - 2000 ... more
I first discovered Libera about a month ago and I feel like I'm rediscovering them everytime I listen to their music!!! Their voices are absolutely breath-taking and this CD really brings out the range they have! I don't think I've ever owned a... read full review | report as inappropriate
This album was a valiant attempt of a fusion of boys choir with rock/synthesizer music. I heard this album at a listening station at a local bookstore and was blown away by the first track "Salva Me." It reminded me a lot of Enigma, only with a... read full review | report as inappropriate

We got this audio book series for our daughter when she was 8 years old. She is 12 now and she is still listening and loving those audio books. The combination between radio-theater with classical music is perfect. I am a... read full review | report as inappropriate
I ordered this after hearing the smart and wonderfully creative "Beethoven Lives Upstairs." Sadly, this one is poorly written and badly acted. The setting for the story has Bach visiting modern-day children. This just doesn't work. Also, the... read full review | report as inappropriate

This is a wonderful selection of choral pieces composed by Eric Whitacre. I liked the variety of selections on this CD. read full review | report as inappropriate
I bought this CD because it included the piece "Lux aurumque", which I feel must have been inspired because it transforms the listener into another realm. The other pieces are well done, too, but none reach me in the same way as "Lux aurumque".... read full review | report as inappropriate

I received this CD as a gift from a friend in the UK. He was spot on as to the musical intregrity of this mass. I was moved by the beauty and power of Jenkin's 21st century lyrical move from the Muslim call to prayer, to the amassing of troops,... read full review | report as inappropriate
I like the music but the volume swings are far too big for any of my four sound systems to cope with. Constantly using the volume control. read full review | report as inappropriate
As written in other reviews, this piece is very accessible, perhaps not easy to listen to because of the subject matter, but accessible to all. The first time I listened to it, I was overwhelmed. However, as a fan of earlier 20th century and... read full review | report as inappropriate

For Lieder enthusiasts and Mahler?te collectors, this recording is an essential disc. We have Janet Baker, one of the greatest Mahler mezzo soprano vocalists ever, interpreting Mahler's early songs for solo voice, up to 1890. With the attentive... read full review | report as inappropriate
I'm glad there is an excellent recording of these songs by Thomas Hampson, becasue my expectations for this one were disappointed. Janet Baker is a great Mahler singer--of that there is no doubt--and her interpretations here are up to her high... read full review | report as inappropriate

I have been sampling this CD for 3 straight years...and now that I got it, I'm starting to enjoy it more. All the standards on this CD are exquisite in detail. Among them all, the Planets' version of Vanessa-Mae's "Contradanza" is slightly... read full review | report as inappropriate
I guess Mike Batt can't get it right each time. Vanessa-Mae... fantastic. BOND.. Absolutely GREAT The Planets? ....CRAP This is just sad. If you want to hear crossover done right, get Vanessa Mae's best of... read full review | report as inappropriate
After establishing a name as a innovative composer of popular music and of commercials, Jenkins has added several traditional works, most notably this requiem and his Mass for Peace. The Requiem is readily accessible with superb variety of... read full review | report as inappropriate
I am a huge fan of 20th/21st Century classical music and really enjoy Karl Jenkins music on the whole. His Armed Man Mass is stunning and the other work on this CD is beautiful. However, I was remarkably disappointed with this work. There are... read full review | report as inappropriate
