1.The Essential Classics Collection by: Myung-Whun Chung Géza Anda Rudolf Baumgartner Trevor Pinnock Karl Böhm Eugen Jochum Ferdinand Leitner Ferenc Fricsay Neeme Järvi Claudio Abbado July 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.98 You Save: £2.01 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.55
I bought this as a gift for my niece, since I wanted her to be educated about classical music as she was on her way to college. Ended up buying two copies as I found I loved it so much. Normally I like to pick and choose my orchestras, composers, and conductors, but this collection has jujst about everything. Also, I'd never bought some of the more "popular" items (Strauss and Grieg) as I'd heard them a million times, but now I have them and the performances are all great. This truly has a smattering of it all, and if you're not a classical music lover, it's bound to turn you on to the stuff.

3.Mozart: The Violin Concertos; Sinfonia Concertante by: Giuliano Carmignola Danusha Waskiewicz Orchestra Mozart Claudio Abbado July 14, 2008

I generally prefer 'period performances,' Rachel Podger's Mozart violin sonatas for instance, and so I have long been looking for a good 'gut string' version of Mozarts violin concertos. Monica Huggett's 'early music' version (Virgin Records) was lush and expansive, but rather anodyne. Who better, I thought, to put some excitement into these old warhorses than Carmignola? After two thorough listenings I must answer this question both a yes and a no. The recording is clear and the sound generally crisp and vibrant and Carmignola's playing is all that one could ask for. However, as Carmignola happily crows in the liner notes, these are very FAST, up tempo versions. It certainly differs them from their competition, but to what end? The energy is ... Read More:

6.The Art of Cecilia Bartoli by: Cecilia Bartoli November 04, 2002

Although released some time ago now (2002) this collection of opera extracts remains an ideal introduction to the singing voice of Cecilia Bartoli, most of the tracks having been taken from her previous album releases. The choices of music lean towards the more familiar and traditional pieces from the world of opera, thus allowing the listener to concentrate on familiarising themselves with the dramatic, exciting and passion-filled style of Bartoli's vocals. Included are works by Handel, Vivaldi, Gluck, Mozart, Rossini, Donizetti and Verdi, and there are guest appearances by Bryn Terfel and Luciano Pavarotti on 5 of the tracks. The CD shows some lovely photographs of the singer (again from previous ... Read More:

7.The Art of Anne Sofie Von Otter by: ANNE SOFIE VON, OTTER July 22, 2002

This is a wonderful collection of songs/arias that Anne Sofie Von Otter is well know for. Her singing is faultless her voice is pure and she is an excellent mezzo. Sweden have the fab Anne sofie whilst we have the likes of Katherine Jenkins trying to represent our opera scene..... I promise once you have heard this CD you will hunt down all of her other recital CD's

I wonder if Mozart knew while writing this that it would be his last piece and probably the greatest piece of classical music ever written. The same can be said for Beethoven and his Ninth Symphony. True Masters.

10.The Yellow Guide to Classical Music by: Amadeus Quartet, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, English Concert June 26, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £14.50
DG have come up with truly the best compilation of popular classical pieces. The performances, such as that of Haydn's Emperor Quartet and Rossini's William Tell Overture, are excellent. The booklet which comes with this CD is extremely informative and gives details of every track on the CD and of 100 composers.... I would definitely recommend this CD, especially to those who are looking for a new collection of different pieces. Forget 'The Best... in the world ever' - they're not nearly as good as this CD!
