| This recording was made only a year before La Fenice's "Giovanni Gabrieli: In Festo Sanctissimae Trinitatis". Thus for one year it was probably the best CD of Gabrieli on the market. It's still an attractive performance, with some tracks that are luscious and a few that are lumpy. I'll try to explain why I prefer the sounds of La Fenice.
Like "In Festo S. Trinitatis", this performance is a composite of Gabrieli sonatas, toccatas, and Latin-texted motets, arranged as they might have ... Read More: |

| All in all I was very pleased with this recording. The only complaints that I have would be that Konstanze's and Blonde's voices sound very dry to me. Personally I prefer a Soprano with a more rich, "wet" sounding voice if you will. Orgonasova execute's "Marten Allen Arten" very well, with a display of impeccable technique. I think Hauptmann plays Osmin very well, capturing the Powerful, Menacing, yet Slightly "Oafy" essence the character demands (although As I have witnessed here and in a recording of La Clemenza ...

| If you are going to get the CD of the Mamma Mia musical this is the one to buy. I know the price is stiff, but, at least to me, it is worth it. I have played it several times and never get tired of it. In addition, it includes an encore rendition of the songs Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, and an initial rendition of Waterloo. You can buy cheaper CD's of the Mamma Mia musical, but these ABBA songs are worth paying a little more to get the best version that is available for sale. |

| One star cause it doesn't have the songs I'm looking for, great movie though. thanks to those you posted where the club scene songs can be found, but where can we get the actual mix that was played while Naturelle and Marie were dancing? That is not on the CDs mentioned below.... |

| This recording of Mozart's first German opera The Abduction From The Seraglio is also on another box set/label and has been re-issued for Deutsche Grammophone, the world's greatest classical music and opera label. The Brit Sir Jon Elio Gardiner conducts at a brisk, lively pace (too fast for some folks) and the principal singers sing with excellent German diction and in the traditional Singspiel style but lack a je ne sais quai to really stand out. Tenor Stanford Olsen sings Belmonte, baritone Hans Peter Minetti as Pasha Selim, ... Read More: |

| From the very start you know you are entering a masterpiece performed by one of the greatest living conductors. First the use of instruments. Each one has a particular part to play and, even in the most unified tuttis of the orchestra, each instrument plays its role and can be followed faithfully without getting lost in some kind of blended melting pot. This is admirable from the opening notes right on till the end. Then Handel uses voices in a very creative way too. David is an alto, which is normal in the 18th century since he ... Read More: |

| I do not know precisely when Mozart wrote this music. The Play dates as far back as 1773.
Mozart, then seventeen, must have set subordinate or casual music to Thamos, König in Ägypten - King Thamos of Egypt.-(KV 345(336a). ((If anyone can help me with the exact date Mozart wrote it, I shall be very appreciative.)) Thamos was first premiered in Vienna in April 1774, as per recent records, with two choruses. Five years later, Mozart added to it orchestral interludes and conducted the Play in Salzburg ... Read More: |

| If you want everything Grainger wrote for orchestra and chorus, the Hickox series on Chandos is indispensible. But if you're looking for a good sampling of Grainger's musical style, then this CD by John-Eliot Gardiner is just the thing. I really like JEG's way with most of the selections. Brigg Fair, Seventeen Come Sunday, Shallow Brown and several others are well-known works, and JEG does a fine job with those, joined by a top-notch chorus and sharp orchestral accompaniment. There are also a few lesser-known works on the CD, including ... Read More: |

| It truly is unfortunate that the premier performance of this work is no longer available, or so it appears. Musical Heritage Society may still have it in its catalog, and if so, then it'd be worth picking up. If not, then one can only hope that it eventually gets rereleased on a budget label or appears used on Ebay, as it easily surpasses anything else out there, including Gardiner's later version with the English Baroque Soloists on Philips. I have two copies of the LP version, and they are both beginning to wear thin from repeated playing. ... Read More: |
