Words of the Angel
The 14th century 'Tournai' Mass, consisting of a Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, and Ite missa est, is the first known complete polyphonic mass to come down to us. Its sections were probably written by different composers, and it's a stunning, fascinating look into early polyphony. This performance is combined with other pieces from the same period, as well as a five-minute piece by contemporary composer Ivan Moody, which--though clearly from six centuries later--blends to ...

Romanza
From his childhood on the family farm in rural Tuscany to the worldwide stage, Andrea Bocelli has achieved phenomenal success.

Morimur (after J.S. Bach)
In 1994, explains the booklet that accompanies Morimur, Professor Helga Thoene made the surprising discovery that the monumental 'Ciaccona' from Bach's Partita in D minor for solo violin was built around various chorale themes hidden in the music. From the texts of these 'secret' chorales and other symbolic musical devices, she deduced that the 'Ciaccona' was an epitaph for Bach's wife, Maria Barbara. The revelation might have remained an intriguing (and touching) footnote to Bach ... Regular Price : $17.98

25 Classical Favorites
The Cd is 'Classical' favorites so the emphasis is not so much on emotions but rather on instrumentation and orchestration. These are all very exceptional and I guarantee satisfaction. Anyways, I am not a classical listener as far as radio stations go but my musical tastes vary dramatically. I found this album to be a phenomenal bang for the buck as I can, on occasion, listen to the classics of which I have heard and thoroughly enjoy ... Regular Price : $

Essential Mozart: 32 Of His Greatest Masterpieces

Perfect for someone who is only a casual fan of classical music, or kids who need memorable tunes to sustain their interest in classical music, or I suppose for someone who ... Regular Price : $17.98
