191.The Only Choral Album You'll Ever Need from: Victor October 06, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.48 You Save: £1.51 (15%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.00
whoever wrote the 'whats on this cd' blurb mislead me to buy this item - I needed the WHOLE of the Messiah AND THE WHOLE of Faure's Requiem and reading this blurb you think you have it - but guess what - there are only extracts - the titles given are just for the whole work - not the individual piece of music - so I cannot learn the pieces for two concerts I am performing in before Christmas off this - very misleading. Sorry - but it is not the only album Ill ever need.

192.Rutter - Requiem; Magnificat from: Collegium October 05, 1998

This recording of the Cambridge Singers has them recording pieces composed by their own director, John Rutter. The Magnificat is Rutter's version of a standard piece of liturgical music, an intersection of old and new. This was recorded at one of the Cambridge Singers' favourite venues, the Great Hall of University College School, London; the Requiem was recorded in 1986, and the Magnificat in 1991. --Music-- 'The Magnificat' is one of my favourite pieces of the liturgy, and one I enjoy hearing set to different kinds of music. This is a very lively and spirit-filled rendering, with magnificent vocals expressing the joy that is found in the prayer of Mary - 'My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my saviour'.

193.Puccini: Tosca from: Callas Edition March 10, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £24.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.98 You Save: £11.01 (44%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £12.12
Sorry, this might upset some other reviewers and 'purists' but I have to say as good as this recording is, and it is, callas does give a good performance, but it doesn't light a candle to the 1962 Karajan recording on decca legends with Leontyne price as Tosca she is absolutely stunning in the role, I defy anyone not to be moved and have the hairs go up on the back of their neck when they listen to her vissi d'arte(my ultimate favourite opera aria), so do yourself a favour and get that cd now! You won't regret it.

194.Onward by: Alfie Boe March 12, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.48 You Save: £6.51 (41%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.51
Onward is Alfie Boe's third studio album, the first was in association with Classic FM who kicked off his recording career, the following two were made after signing to the EMI Classics label. Born in 1973 in Lancashire his humble upbringing in a largely non-musical environment make his progression from apprentice worker in a TVR car factor to leading tenor in the Broadway production of `La Boheme' all the more remarkable. The album is mostly a collection of well known pieces which will be familiar to those unaccustomed to classical music or opera, giving it broad appeal to a wide listening audience. The sleeve notes provide a one or two line commentary on each track explaining the reason for choosing them, and some background ... Read More:

197.Rachmaninov: Symphony No.2 from: Emi Classics September 06, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.97 You Save: £3.02 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.41
This performance of Rachmaninov's second symphony made quite a stir when it was released on vinyl back in 1973 and although that may seem like a generation ago (because it is, sadly!), this newly (1999) re-mastered version succeeds in recapturing the excitement which its original release created. Prior to this recording, Previn and the LSO had toured with the symphony to Russia, where the unexpurgated version had not been heard for years, and it caused a sensation. Listening to this recording, it is not hard to understand why. This is unashamedly beautiful and lyrical music, played by an orchestra and conductor who had no misgivings about whether the music was fashionable or not, and given its full measure of feeling, with great drama and passion. In its newly ... Read More:

199.Virtuoso Works for Violin and Piano by: Antonio Bazzini Chloe Hanslip Caspar Frantz September 01, 2008

Great virtuoso playing from Chloe Hanslip. And her first collection, I think, involving forces smaller than a symphony orchestra - much smaller! I'm not qualified to give a technical review, but as a concert-goer over many years, one recognises a truly unique artiste and really outstanding playing. Amazing that you can buy such playing for so little! At this price, buy it and judge for yourself! You'll end up wanting all of Chloe's recordings....

200.Bel Canto Spectacular by: Juan Diego Flórez Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana Daniel Oren July 07, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £12.48 You Save: £4.51 (27%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.53
If anything, this recital shows Florez to be in even better voice than in his last album "Voce d'Italia: Arias for Rubini" (see my review). Despite the beauty of Florez' singing there, a few top notes showed signs of strain; here, the voice is more easily produced, sweeter and more characterful than ever before. For me, the plum item is his newly minted account off that old warhorse "Una furtive lagrima"; he sings with power and delicacy, managing some heart-stopping diminuendi and maintaining seamless legato. The Italian version of Florez' calling card aria with the nine high C's is as thrilling as ever and the more interesting for being less frequently heard. The choice of repertoire is judicious: a preponderance of Donizetti but a very varied selection of his arias, ... Read More:
