1.Classic FM Babies by: Katherine Jenkins, Elin Manahan Thomas, Julian Lloyd-Webber, Pascal Roge, Herbert Von Karajan, Charles Dutoit, Harry Christophers, London Symphony Orchestra July 23, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.98 You Save: £6.01 (35%) Prices subject to change.
A lovely 2CD Classic FM compilation of relaxing music - for mothers as much as their babies - consisting of an interesting assortment of baroque, classical, romantic and modern music with the underlying theme of aiming to relax the listener. Some pieces are chosen partly for their title as well as the soothing effect they have, these include the 'Lullaby' by Brahms and 'The Swan' from 'Carnival of the Animals' by Saint-Saens. The more contemporary offerings are by popular composers such as Patrick Hawes. These are good recordings, as expected by Classic FM, many of which will be comfortably familiar to most of the radio shows listeners. Comfortably safe by Classic FM maybe, but comfortably relaxing too.

2.Classics for Children from: Decca October 18, 1999

The recordings found on this disc are some of the best available (...in fact, the Britten conducting Britten is the Gramophone's Recommended Recording!). Add to that the most delightful account of Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood", and you find a fantastic disc. Then look at the price! 5 stars for a well rounded CD, which wont break the bank.

3.Debussy: Piano Works by: Pascal Rogé October 12, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.98 You Save: £3.01 (27%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.97
Wonderful interpretations of these masterpieces of impressionism, especially the first set of 'Images' and the Preludes. Never too harsh with the colours, but never afraid to be bright and fresh either. The essential debussy solo interpretations.

4.Essential Saint-Saëns from: Double Decca October 23, 1995

Recently I gave a talk on Saint Saens at my local music society and played several extracts of his music all of which were taken from this CD. I have other recording of some of the tracks but those on this cd are better especially those that are conducted by Charles Dutoit. Kyung-Wha Chung the violin soloist in the violin concerto is also of a terrific standard and gives a performance saint saens would be proud of. I would highly recommend this CD to you.

6.Calm: 36 Pieces To Soothe, Relax and Inspire by: CALM August 21, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £17.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.98 You Save: £3.01 (17%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.77
This is a well chosen collection of 36 pieces of gentle classical music. Some tracks are well known, others less so. The package includes a beautiful small booklet which gives background information about the music which enhances the listening experience. Downsides are that some of the recordings are very old and the sound quality is not great. Another problem is that several of the tracks don't match what is written in the booklet. In spite of these negative comments an ideal way to start listening to classical music.

8.Satie: 3 Gymnopédies / 6 Gnossiennes etc by: Pascal Roge June 21, 1984
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £12.45
Satie was a very eccentric composer (have you seen his scores?!) but did some excellent music, and that's what here. Pascal Roge sometimes overdoes his rubato in pieces that need it done more sutbly, but that's a minor niggle, as this is an excellently recorded and performed collection. Just one question - why do the nocturne number four here, and then put the other ones all on another CD? Strange, but it doesn't really matter I suppose.

9.Satie: Piano Dreams from: Music from Six Continents June 16, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.98 You Save: £4.01 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.96
Usually I avoid compilations and other cds marketed in this way. I am glad I did not in this case. I bought this cd a couple of years ago and looking back I would say I have listened to it more than any other cd I own. Pascal plays wonderfully and the production quality is excellent in my opinion. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this cd, whether an avid classical music lover or not.

10.Ravel: Piano Works from: Double Decca March 01, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £2.01 (18%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.99
The best recording of Ravel's complete solo piano music, this includes famous works such as Pavane for a dead infanta, Gaspard de la Nuit, Le Tombeau de Couperin and less well-known works. This extraordinary composer, who fused jazz (he was influenced by Gershwin), fairy-tales and craftmanship so perfect that Stravinsky accused him of being "only a Swiss clockmaker" was one of the greates composers for the piano. Hewitt's combination of passion and precision, which makes her such a superb interpreter of Bach, magnificent here.
