A clinical and seminal meditation on alienation, popularity-seeking, and the decline of Western man encased in a rock opera about a handicapped boy. Albert Einstein spoke of his own "retarded" youth, being withdrawn from the world, and how that... read full review | report as inappropriate
I must say before I write this review, I tried. I tried really hard to get into this album. I am a huge Pink Floyd fan, a fan of all Classic Rock for that matter. I got this CD for it's historical significance. It is, after all, the first Rock... read full review | report as inappropriate
Although Tommy made the Who successful and Roger Daltrey into a "rock god" I was never drawn to it. In my opinion it is better if you listen to the album from beginning to end instead of certain tracks with the exception of "Pinball Wizard",... read full review | report as inappropriate

I bought this because I love to listen to cellos. On my Mark&Daniels,the sound is first rate, overall. ButI would have loved to have the cello given a bit more prominence, audio-wise. The accompanying instruments are aggressive enough to drown the... read full review | report as inappropriate

I was looking for a CD of exclusively Bach music, not necessarily played by a famous artist or orchestra. This had a lot of his well-known pieces and was exactly what I was looking for. read full review | report as inappropriate

Wonderful classical music. The CD is very relaxing and offers a wide variety of favorite classical music. I can't wait to listen to the other "Relaxing" CD's that are available. read full review | report as inappropriate
I was disappointed in this CD because I didn't find the music was as soothing as I would have expected from the title. Much of the music tended to be faster beats, loud, and somewhat "noisy". The CD is not bad, but it's just not as relaxing as... read full review | report as inappropriate
This CD is ok and Obviously is not Grammy material. For the price it is ok but was looking for something "more relaxing." Sorry I cannot be more specific. read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Wendy Carlos, Johann Sebastian Bach - (Audio CD) - 2001 ... more
I can honestly say that I've never heard another album or song in my life that transports the listener to such an alien realm. The music is so byzantine, layered, precise, fast....its a trip. I jokingly told my son that this is the music that... read full review | report as inappropriate
This is some Bach songs played on a synthesizer back in the 80's. Synthesizers were still in their infancy, so the recording is less than great by today's standards. read full review | report as inappropriate
A nice sampler. I bought it primarily for "Together, Forever" from Gypsy, though its nice to have the Broadway version of "Send in the Clowns (I believe by Glynis Johns). But it is just a sampler, and fans of Broadway music are probably better... read full review | report as inappropriate
I haven't enjoyed this one very much. As a matter of fact, I passed it on. Seemed lackluster somehow. read full review | report as inappropriate

I got what I wanted ---some absolutely beautiful compositions with exquiste voices. Should be a grammy nominee read full review | report as inappropriate
Although this album does not differ from any other Chanticleer album in its gorgeous sound, the performances of Palestrina and Josquin are...well, boring. Contrary to popular belief, this music was not to be done at a snail's pace. The Josquin Ave... read full review | report as inappropriate

There's not much more I can add to the glowing reviews of this CD except to say that I'm surprised that "A un nino llorando" doesn't get a mention! It became my favorite on the album, even though the rest are excellent also. "A Christmas... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Thomas Hampson, San Francisco Symphony and Chorus, Michael Tilson Thomas - (Audio CD) - 2002 ... more
Tilson Thomas's PR team should put out a ocntract on me; I rarely express enthusiasm for him. So let me bow especially low to this superlative 1999 concert of Ives as viewed from his most melodic, least revolutionary perspective. This is Ives as... read full review | report as inappropriate
I was very much looking forward to the latest Ives recording from Michael Tilson Thomas, whose reputation as an Ives specialist began with his first recording of the Three Pieces in New England, made in 1970 when the conductor was only in his... read full review | report as inappropriate

In 1997 David Lloyd-Jones conducted a different program of Delius orchestral (and vocal) music that included the early 'Florida Suite' and the final scene of his American opera 'Koanga.' It was with a different orchestra, the English Northern... read full review | report as inappropriate

If Hildegard Von Bingen wrote music for a hip lounge, this would be it. Its amazing that music this old ( from the 1100's) can sound so wonderful and modern with the addition of modern instruments. It really energizes the old music I have couple... read full review | report as inappropriate
I, too, bought this cd used for a very low price and found out why when I got it home. I was looking for Hildegard and was vastly disappointed. I'll remember next time that you get what you pay for. read full review | report as inappropriate
