251.Classic Christmas Carols by: Choir Of Kings College Cambridge December 03, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £11.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £3.01 (25%) Prices subject to change.
This album is made up of very good quality, and powerful, music. I cannot fault the performances, or the production for that matter. The problem occurs, that if like me, your cd player is not remote controlled, then throughout the entire album you will be up and down up and down of your seat to ajust the volume (even during the same song, never mind for each one individually). The above ^ will apply to all of you, unless you have no neighbours whatsoever within a mile or so of you and volume is no consideration. I have never ever, in 30 years, known a music album with such a massive variance of volume level. Ever ! And that unfortunately, ruins the experience.

There are two versions of this album, this single disc release and a `special edition' 2CD set. It makes a change to hear a collection of familiar music sung by a baritone rather than the more popular tenor and Bryn fans should be pleased with the selection of music, it's a good range of styles, with the emphasis on classical and opera excerpts plus a few traditional folk style songs. Bryn's voice works well on the opera favourites like Bizet's Toreador song (lots of rolling r's here) and sounds good with Andrea Bocelli on The Pearl Fishers duet `Au Fond du temple saint'. The folk songs and traditional like `Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' and `Danny Boy' are well suited to the deep baritone voice, and the `Ave Maria' duet with ... Read More:

The effect of these interpretations is one of precision, clarity and luminosity; i.e. Musical Classicism. It's true that they may seem a bit emotionally restrained (that's what classical restraint is all about however), too symmetrical in feeling and perhaps too personalised in their choice of tempi or touch, but the effect is very beautiful and refined. The interpretation is very classical without late Baroque, Rococo, or Romantic influences. Perhaps this is not 100% historically or musically accurate, but overall taken within their own context as one artist's interpretation of Mozart, I like the view. Other pianists have other views. I definitely do not think that Maria Pires for Brilliant is on the same level as these interpretations, as ... Read More:

254.1492 - Conquest of Paradise from: Warner September 29, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.47 You Save: £3.52 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.43
The multi-million selling "1492: Conquest of Paradise" is another musical masterpiece from Vangelis. Christopher Columbus's first voyage from Spain to the Bahamas, Hispaniola and Cuba was a truly significant and momentous event in human history. The film, directed by Ridley Scott and released to mark the 500th anniversary of this journey, is greatly enhanced through this accompanying music. Every track in this 55 minute CD is quality and there's great variety - for example, the gravitas of the maritime sounding "Conquest of Paradise", the Latin hymns of "Monastery of La Rabida", the Hispanic atmosphere in "Deliverance", the regal air that is created in "City of Isabel", the innocence of the indigenous peoples and the beauty ...

255.Palestrina: Missa Papae Marcelli; Missa Aeterna Christi Munera /Oxford Camerata · Summerly by: Oxford Camerata, Jeremy Summerly, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina December 31, 1993

--Palestrina-- Giovanni Pierluigi de Palestrina is sometimes called the greatest composer of the Roman Catholic church. Born in 1525 near Rome, he spent the better part of his career in service to the church as a choir member, choir master, conductor, composer and school master. He was sought after by many churches, and sometimes his popularity and skill got him into trouble both with his clerical patrons and with fellow musicians. He was offered prestigious positions in Rome and Vienna which were ultimately withdrawn because Palestrina's salary and conditions requirements were too high. He had some influence on the Council of Trent's musical decisions for reform of the Catholic worship practices, and was involved intimately with revising the Gradual ... Read More:

256.Romanza by: Andrea Bocelli May 13, 2002

Romanza" was my first Andrea Boticelli album and still remains my favorite. I think this is the tenor's most definitive collection, showcasing his sweet, rich sound, powerfully held long notes, and exquisite sense of cadence. Supposedly, this was the CD geared to "bridge the gap" between pop and opera. Boticelli certainly exhibits a diverse style with this top-notch selection of romantic songs. When I originally bought "Romanza," back in the 20th century, I did so because of Botecelli's interpretation of "Con te Partiro," (Time To Say Goodbye"), which is still an exceptional song after all these years. It is dedicated to German World Light-Heavyweight boxing champion, Henry Maske and was performed at his farewell contest. Botecelli begins the album ... Read More:

257.On the Banks of Green Willow from: Belart May 19, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.48 You Save: £0.51 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.48
I first heard 'The Banks of Green Willow' as incidental music to a BCC 'Lorna Doone' in the 1960s and wrote to the BBC to find out what this achingly beautiful piece was. 'A Shropshire Lad' is even better. The poignancy is intensified when you know that Butterworth (the dedicatee of Vaughan Williams' 'London' Symphony) died in the First World War. 'Tintagel' is grand and imposing, echoing Arthurian legend and the beat of waves round the ancient castle. This collection is absolutely authoritative, conducted by the best of all conductors of English music and wonderful value at its low price. No-one who is interested should hesitate.

258.Angel Voices by: Libera November 06, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.98 You Save: £5.01 (29%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.65
I never buy albums but Libera have made me want to buy all of theirs! Their voices are angelic! after i heard them for the first time, i never found a choral group who could sing as well as Libera! This is truly one of Libera's best albums! I recommend these songs: -Sanctus -Ave Maria -Salva Me -Voca Me ...especially 'Voca Me' and 'Salva Me'. There aren't any downsides to their music...unless you hate classical music... Beth 14 UK

259.More Tales from the Greek Legends: Bellerophon and The Chimera, Orpheus and Eurydice, Narcissus and Echo and Other Tales (Junior Classics) from: Naxos AudioBooks July 03, 2006

Wow, when I first saw this cd I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as the first set which were brilliant, and had most of the better known heroes and their stories on them. Stories like Herakles and Jason, Theseus and Perseus, but I think this set of tales is even better! The sound quality is excellent and Ben Soames voice is really lively, bringing these tales to life. I listened to them on a long drive up to Scotland and I was really transported by the storytelling. The music is well chosen too and my kids 12 and 14 really liked them too. I had read versions of some of these stories before, but there are some great action sequences, like when Belerofon kills the Kimera and some beautiful descriptions, of Pegasus, the winged stallion and proper gory stuff, like when Acteon gets ...
