 | David Bowie Narrates Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf"
Prokofiev here produces a rare and fresh musical story for children. A young boy decides one day to push the gate at the bottom of the garden and move into the big wild world and its dangers, a wolf and a cat. The boy is followed by his friend the duck and meets his other friend the bird who is saved by a split-hair chance from the teeth of the cat by Peter's cry of alarm. All dangers in ...

 | Gabriel Fauré: Requiem and other choral music
John Rutter's groundbreaking research and subsequent performing edition of Fauré's beloved Requiem has enabled us to hear the work as the composer originally intended. His first version of the piece included only a chamber orchestra with lower strings, harp, timpani, and organ. Four years later, Fauré added two movements and slightly expanded the orchestration. This is the version that Rutter and his inimitable Cambridge Singers perform here-- and it's a glorious revelation, ...

 | Mozart for Relaxation
This is a terrific collection of many of Mozart's best known and most beloved pieces. You will probably recognize many of the melodies - and with this CD, of course, you'll learn their names. This CD is really aptly named - it is a very 'relaxing' collection of beautiful music. One reviewer said that its great for the car - but also after that long, grinding day at work - you know, the ...

 | Beethoven for Relaxation
This is a very good CD for anyone who likes to use classical music to unwind. I wouldn't recommend playing it while trying to fall asleep, as some of the tracks can be a bit loud and busy, but it is excellent when you just need a break from daily stress. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars rather than 5 is because if you are using headphones to listen to the disc, there is a problem ...

 | Yo-Yo Ma & Bobby McFerrin: Hush
The idea here was to put two masters together--one classical cellist, one improvisational singer/sound-effects performer--and voilà! instant amazing, unique, hip--and, hopefully, hit--record. The intriguing setup was to see what would happen when each led the other through the unfamiliar territory of his own specialty. The success of this recording lies not so much in the music or even in the overall performances, but in the fascinating and fun opportunity to sit in on the musicians' good-natured, respectful give-and-take, to ...

 | Cello for Relaxation
The cello is almost always the instrument I turn to for relaxation. It meditates upon a deeper, slower spectrum of emotion than say, a harp or violin.
I put this CD to the ultimate test and took it to the hospital with me, to see if its music could counteract the threat and ultimate deployment of needles---and it was indeed much less painful to be poked while in a state of relaxation, as induced by these (mainly 19th century) ...

 | For Thy Pleasure
This is quite the collection of Baroque compositions played and recorded superbly by this quitar quartet.
From such exquisite works such as parts of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 to Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, they pull the transposition to strings with dignity and quality of the music.
The Monteverdianna piece is superb in its chamber quality, touched by its would seem court jester type style. It is delightful in its upbeat transitions. The Telemann work ...

 | Angelika Kirchschlager - when night falls
This record is most notable for its performances. Kirchschlager's singing is ravishingly beautiful and deeply expressive; the pianists and other instrumentalists are all first rate. Its content seems designed less for consistent musical quality and a balanced program than for variety and popular appeal. Yet the predominantly slow songs induce a certain monotony, and Mozart and Menotti, Brahms and Broadway musicals make strange stylistic bedfellows. However, many gems stand out in the ...

 | Beethoven: Favourite Piano Sonatas / Vladimir Ashkenazy
On this 2 CD set, Ashkenazy plays some of Beethoven's more famous sonatas. His tempo and dynamics are so unbelievable. Many of Beethoven's works require the pianist to quickly change speeds or dynamics, and Ashkenazy never fails to miss a mark. His playing could bring one to tears. The only reason I didn't give this CD 5 stars was that, throughout the CD, Ashkenazy fails to count. Though one is supposed to have different tempo levels, ...
