| Brightman's tone is so bell-like, you'd think she would be a perfect fit for Christmas music. The problem is she also has a rather light, intimate voice, and this CD is anything but. Let the orchestra swell! Let the chorus sing! All this accompaniment borders on bombast, and in my opinion is inappropriate backing because she sometimes gets lost in it. A few tracks work better than others--"Arrival" is captivating, and "I Believe in Father Christmas" is a welcome cover. But even traditional ... Read More: |

| A stunning recording! YoYo Ma has the ability to allow his cello to support so many other beautiful compositions and performers. No ego trip here, folks.
I must say that maybe I'm the only one that got the James Taylor interpretation of "Here Comes the Sun"? In fact, JT was dissed by at least one reviewer for his take on this Harrison classic. However, JT is one to re-invent many songs, and this was no exception. From the first spin through the lyrics, I heard "Here comes the Son"...."Son, ... Read More: |

| I am a huge fan of Joshua Bell and his interpretation of the Four Seasons is the best i've heard. If you are a huge fan of Vivaldis four seasons then do not think twice about buying this CD. Its beyond amazing and I absolutely love it!! |

| I had the pleasure of listening to Anne-Sophie Mutter play the JS Bach violin concertos BWV 1041, BWV 1042 and BWV 1043 during her recent concert in East Lansing, Michigan. So I had to get this CD when I found out about it. I thought the recording was excellent, although I still preferred the live performance. Then I compared this with her previous recording with EMI. This newer DG recording is still Anne-Sophie, but I found her playing to be more mature and sublime.
Not knowing what to expect of Gubaidulina, it took me two ... Read More: |

| Not exactly sure what I would do without these recordings. A world without Bach: a scary thought. My pulse slackens a bit each time I put these on. Relaxing, sure, but also tremendously moving. A perfect antidote for the trivial drone, distraction, and bustle of our post-capitalist world. No need to go buy new-age computer glitch world-music ambience; this is sonic therapy, written centuries before we needed it. |

| Many envision Christmas when they hear Messiah spoken in reference to Handel's classical craftsmanship. I, personally, envision all year round listening rapture.
Handel's composition details various epics of Christ's life--His birth, ministry, crucifixion, resurrection and eventual Messianic millennial rule. You behold through Handel's orchestrated psalms, the Old Testament prophesies concerning Messiah encompassed with the New Testament fulfillments. Handel's Messiah is remarkable as it is the inspired Scripture set ... Read More: |

| This DVD provides a glimpse of Josh Groban when he was 21 or 22 years old, a world of difference from him today. His music is sweet and tender, as is his demeanor. A few differences exist in the music shown on this DVD when compared with his CD that came out in 2001; otherwise they are the same. My earlier comment isn't meant to detract from Josh today; he has evolved as stardom has made him a truly bigtime item in the firmament. But if you want to see him when he was a relatively fresh face, you shouldn't miss this album. |
