| Du Pre was, and will unsupassed by contemporary cellists for generations. She is still the best, and will be remembered by many forever. |

| Wonderful but to set matters straight the complete Command Performance 2 LP set is NOT on these 6 CDS ; it appears the entire 2nd LP is missing (songs by Arditi, Tosti, Bishop, Balfe and Wallace among others) and also the Pagliacci aria from LP 1 of the LP set is missing as well. The Command Performance set should be reissued. |

| This is my favorite Sutherland collection. It has so much from so many periods. The bits from The French Opera Gala are beyond belief. It is some of the best coloratura she ever did and was recorded at a great part of her career. Both the Wagner and the Mozart discs were recorded when she was close to 60, which doesn't mean that much with Sutherland. Still it would have been great to have heard the Wagner recorded a decade earlier when she recorded the Turandot. She would have been better at Wagner than ... Read More: |

| Although Jackie du Pre's playing in the Elgar, Delius and Schoenberg concerti was superb, I for one simply find nothing to admire in that music. Perhaps this is my fault, perhaps not, but in general there are so many superb recordings of the Haydn and Dvorak concerti that only the sentiments surrounding her decline into MS and early death recommend them. On the other hand, the recordings of the Chopin, Beethoven and other sonatas in the second 3 discs of this set are among the most moving recordings ever made. ... Read More: |

| This performance is first rate. The approach is a little different but for the most part, works extremely well. Very satisfying. The other favorable reviewers got it right. And, I'll let their explanations stand with no need of further embellishment from me. With all performance art, there is room for all kinds of different interpretations, and which ever style one prefers is all very subjective. But, this is a valid approach which taken on its own terms, is highly successful and most beautiful. |

| I probably own too many Christmas CDs, which contain a great deal of duplication. Many of them, though good, are indistinguishable from one another. But 'The Ultimate Christmas Album', a compilation of holiday recordings culled from London's vaults, has set itself apart. It has been my most-played Christmas CD for several years now.
The recordings are unparalleled; the Bach Choir's vigorous "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" (complete with thunderous pipe organ), Pavarotti's tender "Ave Maria" and "O Holy Night", Leontyne Price's spritely ... Read More: |

| In terms of quantity, Bach and Handel's orchestral music occupies only a small part of their total works. There are many masterpieces amongst them, however. In the case of Handel, the concerti grossi and most of the organ concerti are works of high order, as are the famous "Fireworks Music" and "Water Music".
EMI have selected for their "Handel" box, all these works, together with several violin sonatas and a few other miscellaneous items. The recordings date from the years 1962-1970. This was the time when Yehudi Menuhin successfully extended ... Read More: |

| The Barbirolli Society and Dutton Laboratories have reissued yet another brilliant session by the great British conductor Sir John Barbirolli. "Oboe Concertos Volume 2" finds JB with wife Evelyn Rothwell again making beautiful music together. The three Concerto performances by Haydn, Marcello and Corelli (from 1957, 1969 and 1968 respectively) are the highlight of the disc, which also features six chamber pieces. This is music that Barbirolli likely would not have played were it not for Evelyn, but it is a testament to their love that they found the perfect ... Read More: |
