A Song of Home: An American Musical Journey
This meeting of musical minds was a stroke of creative matchmaking by RCA. James Galway, the renowned flutist blends but does not blur with two of American folk music's more deeply rooted musical thinkers -- Jay Ungar & Molly Mason. Right from the start, 'My Cape Breton Home,' the art and craftsmanship, the painstaking selection and arrangement is evident. And this CD continues to delight the mind with an hour of the most beautiful ... Regular Price : $18.98

Bach: Greatest Hits
For someone who knows little about Bach and wants to learn something, you couldn't do better than to give them this CD. Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra give their signature warm, plush sound to the work of the great Johann Sebastian Bach, making him sound very nearly like a Romantic rather than a baroque or classical composer. This is not a bad thing--some complain that Bach, with his mathematical leanings, leaves them cold. That ... Regular Price : $9.98

Brother Sun, Sister Moon
A brief glance at the packaging for this recording might make you think New Age, and indeed this label normally offers recordings in that vein. The disc's cover tells nothing about the music inside--all we see are the ruins of an ancient abbey, the moon in the sky on the front, the sun on the back. But wait. If you get far enough to listen to the recording, you'll find one of the most beautiful and beautifully programmed choral ... Regular Price : $15.98

Best Of Fauré
I bought this cd not knowing anything about Gabriel Faure's music. A local orchestra was planning to perform Masques et Bergamasques, so I picked this cd being the most inexpensive way of buying something I possibly was not going to enjoy. But nothing could be further from the truth. I love this cd! It has such a nice variation of formats: piano concerto (Ballede in F sharp major Op. 19), piano solo (Baracarolle No.1 in A minor, Op. ... Regular Price : $7.98

Pachebel Greatest Hits
You know what would be funnier than Pachabel in the woods, or Pachabel with whale noises, or Pachabel with the sounds of the rainforest in a snowstorm on a July day with a couple camels giving birth? Pachabel in Taco Bell. I would buy that CD.
I'd just like to point out the fact that Pachebel is far and away the worst, most overrated, most boring classical piece ever written. And if it wasn't before, it has been played so much, ... Regular Price : $9.98

Out Of This World; A Chanticleer Portrait
This is Chanticleer at their best, and this is my absolute favorite Chanticleer CD, and one of my favorite CDs, period. They sing everything from German pieces to the slightly off-color piece, 'Nude Descending a Staircase,' (which is full of humor and voice-created sound effects), to the awesome and beautiful 'I Have Had Singing.' They even get a little gospel music in with powerful arrangements and renditions of 'Straight Street,' and 'Jesus Met the Woman at The Well.' My favorite ... Regular Price : $16.98

Immortal Beloved / Sir Georg Solti (film 1994)
As Amadeus praised and popularized the music of Mozart, which triggered a cd chalk-full of his greatest moments, Immortal Beloved has created a cd which captures the very spirit of Beethoven. He is long dead, but we hear his soul speak again to us through his music. The film, starring Oldman and Rossalini, centered on the mysterious love letter Beethoven wrote at the end of his life, to an 'Immortal Beloved', whose love he carried with ... Regular Price : $17.98
