131.Massenet: Manon Ballet by: Covent Garden Richard Bonynge, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House July 08, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £32.55
The music for this memorable 1974 ballet -- unavailable for too long -- is a collection of extracts by Massenet, brilliantly arranged and orchestrated by Leighton Lucas, with the assistance of Hilda Gaunt. While none of the ballet's music is from Massenet's opera, Manon, Lucas drew on thirteen other operas by the composer as well as on two oratorios, various songs, and orchestral pieces. It is a rare and beautiful jewel.

Metamorphosis is a masterpiece. All five songs leave you breathless. Would not suit people with prejudices on what classical music has to be. This is purely expressive, sad, and devastating but quiet melodies, where simplicity and minimalism were meant to be.

133.Last Night of the Proms Collection by: Della Jones Robert Ferriman The Royal Choral Society BBC Concert Orchestra Barry Wordsworth September 09, 1996

As a Yank and a lover of all things brit, I found this cd overwhelming. Play it at full blast and all the neighbors will join you in singing both the British version and American version of these wonderful, familiar, and sacred songs. What an 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 Sissel ... 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 one review ... Read More:

136.1492 - 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 of their ...

137.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 and ... Read More:

138.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:

139.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.

140.Angel Voices by: Libera November 06, 2006

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
