91.Prokofiev/Shostakovich - Violin Concertos by: London Symphony Orchestra August 09, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £7.00
Being 19 and having listened to the likes of Mozart and Hummel whilst I was 18, upon listening to the music on show here I was completely spell-bound. I never knew that music like this was possible or had yet even been conceeived of. Prokofiev is the composer that made me realise what boundaries can be broken in classical music. The first thing about him is that he brought me to enjoy slow passages in a composition which I have always found difficult to do. The lead violin is often so insanely frantic, staggery and sharp and jittery that when the slow passages arives the true tragic or else blissful essence of a piece comes across and the feeling is very much present. The other thing is that his music is not beautiful ... Read More:

This is an excellent CD of two invigorating pieces. The Violin Concerto is truly breathtaking, the clarity of Nigel Kennedy's violin technique combined with an excellent sound recording make this CD a joy to listen to. The interpretation as you may expect both these performers is excellent. Likewise the CBSO's playing in the Symphony No.5 is impeccable and this too is served with an excellent recording quality. Buy this version!

This is pure nectar. I think it is better than KOYAANISQATSI (which I think is brilliant). If you are a fan of the Cello this is for you. The pieces vary from soulful relaxation to head-nodding liveliness. Listening to this album led me to purchase the 'Qatsi' film trilogy. If you have never watched a non-dialogue film with amazing imagery and music try these - it is worth it.

100.Jacqueline Du Pré - A Lasting Inspiration from: EMI October 07, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.98 You Save: £5.01 (31%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £13.39
This CD is unusual, in that it contains many of the shorter and less well known pieces of cello repertoire. There is a wide range of styles, from the serene Song Without Words, to the lively Jota, this CD is well worth listening to. Jacqueline Du Pre's interpretations are lyrical, and her playing is a delight. I don't think that 5 stars can do this justice!
