Build Your Baby's Brain 1
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. It'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 ... Regular Price : $9.98

Antonio Vivaldi: Guitar Concertos, Los Romeros
This is truly a work of art! The first time I heard this recording I was immediately impressed. The Romeros, also known as Spain's Royal Family of Classical Guitar, are like fine diamonds set in the platinum background of the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra at its best.Pepe and Angel Romero have since gone on to become independent solo artists but this recording with their brother and father is one of their best ever and should be in ...

Classical Music For People Who Hate Classical Music
I'm a studying musician preparing for college study, and I recieved this collection from my parents as a gift several years ago. I'm quite familiar with many of the works sampled, and must say this is a great place to begin your love for this stuff. On the plus side, this is an EXCELLENT collection for those wishing to explore the depth and bredth of 'classical' music (sorry, that term sometimes bugs me--read the CD jackets and you'll ...

The Wedding Album
Most of the 'wedding' albums are filled with a 15 - 30 of the 50 or so greatest classical wedding hits. Sample the albums on line before you buy. In fact, if the budget is tight, you can do the whole selection process on line by just playing the samples. First consider the instruments that you plan to use - organ, piano, guitar, brass ensemble, whatever. The instrument of course will have ... Regular Price : $9.98

Sing We Christmas
Christmas is the season for whipping out those holiday-specific standard recordings. This splendid gift by Chanticleer should top the list, for one will never tire of this a cappella choir's interpretations. With selections spanning the last five centuries of Latin, German, English, Spanish, and French festive fare, this recording exemplifies the sacrifice of the ego to the higher form of choral sound. Jacob Handl's 'Mirabile Mysterium' takes you on a trip into the chromatic ... Regular Price : $16.98

The Magic of Satie
Don't judge this splendid disc by its silly title. Jean-Yves Thibaudet has put together an imaginatively programmed and gorgeously played Erik Satie recital that is certain to acquire reference status alongside the classic Satie recordings by Aldo Ciccolini, his one-time mentor. The difference lies in Decca's far superior sonics, and Thibaudet's warmer, more robust piano sonority. He imbues the music with subtle dynamic gradations and varied articulations that keep Satie's sparse textures vibrant and fresh, without any of the ... Regular Price : $16.98

Dreaming
He has done it again. The Dutch violinist has again brought us a wonderful upbeat CD with some light music and some more classical pieces. Especially check out 'Lost Heroes' which was composed by Andre and his brother to commemorate September 11. The words are by his wife Marjorie and the Dutch soprano Kelly God does a beautiful and sensitive rendition.
The Three Tenors Christmas
Resplendent in voice and manner, José Carreras, Placido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti deliver 21 songs of traditional sacred music and secular numbers in a remarkable 1999 live recording from the opulent Viennese concert hall (Konzerthaus), with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and a renowned choir. The Three Tenors are practically as famous as the faces of Mount Rushmore and inspire perhaps even more awe and adulation around the world than the four presidents. The performances--whether ...

Our American Journey
This is Chanticleer's 25th recording and also marks its 25th anniversary season. The title refers to the group's wide-ranging repertoire; this disc includes Mexican baroque, traditional American songs in various styles and music commissioned by Chanticleer itself. A program that tries to please everybody is bound to disappoint somebody; however, no one could be disappointed by the singing. The sound of these 12 unaccompanied male voices has an unearthly, celestial beauty and purity; ... Regular Price : $17.98

Leontyne Price Rediscovered
I have 'lived' happily and joyously with Leontyne Price since I purchased the 'blue' album many, many years ago. We are indeed fortunate that RCA found the recording of this recital, for Ms. Price's recitals always afforded her audiences opportunities to listen to the sheer beauty of her instrument and to marvel at her intelligent interpretations of German 'Lieder,' French 'melodies,' art songs by such American composers as Rorem, Hoiby, Swann, and, of course, Barber. The 'Negro ... Regular Price : $17.98
