151.Gorecki - Symphony No.3: Sorrowful Songs from: Nonesuch July 06, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £12.48 You Save: £1.51 (11%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.95
I can't judge this from a musicians point of view, or from anything apart from that this music connects with some bit inside of me that I can't explain in technical language. Sorrowful yes, you certainly feel that raw emotion from this album. It is also very peaceful and grounding - not great over-worked symphony that makes you wallow in your own depression. Very simple and beautiful. All I can say is that this music connects with some inner part of me and that I love it. It's rather personal and you should take a listen to it before you buy it - but I'm sure you'll love it.

152.The Ultimate Collection by: Pavarotti September 06, 2007

This 2007 single CD release is a compilation of opera's best known arias performed by one of our generations most popular and successful tenors. None of the recordings are particularly new, ranging from the 1973 version of 'Nessun Dorma' (long before the Three Tenors era) to slightly newer releases like the 1989 'Live like Horses' duet with Elton John. In between these two are all the favourites like Verdi's 'Brindisi' and 'La Donna e Mobile', and of course Lara's 'Granada'. Whether this is, or if in fact any 1 CD of just one hour of music could be, the ultimate Pavarotti collection I'm not certain, for there are several other such titled releases available (most notable being Decca's 2 disc compilation ...

153.Thomas Tallis: Spem in alium by: Magnificat March 08, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £27.72
This is a remarkable piece of music by any measure and should be in everyone's classical collection even if you are not normally a fan of vocal or religious music. You'll see many people lavish superlatives on this piece of music - and with absolute justification. In my view no superlative would be over-the-top. For my part, I could say that it is sublime, superb, even peerless. But actually, I think it is other-worldly. It is quite simply staggering, for several reasons... 1) The ambition of Spem in alium is audacious. Composed circa 1570, written for 40 voices arranged in 8 independent choirs of 5 voices, each voice having a separate part, but all adhering to an overarching sense of cohesion. It is amazingly complex, mesmerisingly ... Read More:

154.Regimental Marches of the British Army Vol. 1 by: The Regimental Band of the Coldstream Guards October 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.98 You Save: £1.01 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.59
A tremendous collection of each British Army Regiment's own 'signature' tune. From well known marches like 'The Radetsky' to lesser known tunes like 'The days we went a gipsying', they are all beautifully played by the Band of the Coldstream Guards in quicktime pace, ( 116 beats per minute ). Together with Vol. 2, these great recordings will turn your living room into Horse Guards Parade !

155.Bizet: Carmen by: Teresa Berganza Plácido Domingo Claudio Abbado March 07, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £17.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £15.98 You Save: £2.01 (11%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.79
I have the highlights of this on casette and cannot find a more satisfying version of "Carmen". It was exceptionally well cast. Domingo (Don Jose) and Milnes (Escamillo)are both fabulously in full voice and Ileana Cotrubas the most moving Micaela I have ever heard. The greatest applause though must go to Teresa Berganza who really sings the title role to perfection with hot-blooded Spanish passion but also a confidence which commands our respect and sympathy, retaining musicality in every last note. I really do hope that Deutsche Gramaphon will re-release this because it well deserves another opportunity.

156.Schoenberg: Violin Concerto / Sibelius: Violin Concerto op.47 by: Hilary Hahn, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra March 10, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.96
The Concerto of Schoenberg is a rarity .There are few but fantastic recordings : Amoyal( with Boulez),Baker( with Kraft), and the first to Play it : Louis Krasner( with Mitropoulos). The difference of this magnificent record: The Orchestra and the conductor. The Orchestra is fantastic and Salonen has one enthusiasm with a work that maybe he doesn't like very much. Now lets speak of the violinist : she is amazing. She plays Schoenberg like one "normal" work. Ach , when I remember of what Heifetz said of the work.....it was impossible to him, but not for Hahn.The Sibelius has one enormous concurrence . But it is one of the best recordings that I heard, comparable with Ferras/Karajan and Kavakos/Vanka, my favorites. But what is realy important here is the Schoenberg. Finally ... Read More:

I have come to adore Fiddler on the Roof, and the infectious nature of the music has to be heard to be believed. This new edition with various unheard before moments this is worth purchasing by anyone who loves musicals.

159.Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Eugene Onegin / Fleming, Hvorostovsky, Vargas, Gergiev, Carsen [Metropolitan Opera 2007] starring: Renee Fleming, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Ramon Vargas, Valery Gergiev, Elena Zaremba directed by: Robert Carsen February 04, 2008

This is a quite lovely DVD that rightly places Onegin at the heart of the opera, when frequently the whole focus is on Tatiana. While the latter is understandable given the importance of the Letter Scene to the drama of the work - and it was the musical kernel around which the recurring motifs of the opera are based - by focussing so centrally on Onegin himself the final scenes pack a real punch. The staging is minimalist, the action taking place within the huge white cube of the bare Metropolitan stage, with no scenery. The different scenes are picked out by the simple use of a few judicious pieces of stage furniture - a single table for the opening scene in the Larin's garden, a bed and bureau for Tatiana's room and so on - and the use of sometimes quite sumptuous ...

160.Williams: Schindler's List Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK] from: MCA Records March 11, 2002

Yeah Ok the whole CD is based around one theme but it is a film soundtrack so that is to be expected. But the first track is incredible. The solo is played sublimely by Itzhak Perlman. The range on his instrument is amazing as he starts of fairly low and the piece finishes icredibly high. With Itzhak Perlman being from Israel the holocaust is probably something very close to his own heart and while listening to him playing the main theme it's almost like hes crying through the violin. Undoubtedly John William's best work.
