Julian Bream is a hugely under-rated artist and deserves more recognition than J.Williams in my opinion. I listened to Williams playing the same piece with Barenboim, but was unimpressed by his mechanical precision ( often mistaken by listeners and critics alike for his artistic strength ) and... more info
Customer Review: This product was just as I had anticipated, excellant, one of the best renditions of Handel's Messiah produced. With the Morman Tabernacle Choir, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and those selected soloists, this was so well presented and simply one of the most inspiring pieces of music ever produced.!
Customer Review: I had presented this as a gift, to my daughter, who is also a great fan of Pavarotti. We listened to it, together, and I listened to it while traveling home, from Florida. The music, and his voice, filled my car with great joy. The world has lost a marvelous talent. His voice was even greater than... more info

Customer Review: This is just beautiful music--very melodious and evocative. Yo-Yo Ma is a consummate musician. Wonderful compositions like Morricone's in his hands is a delight to the ears and emotions. I highly recommend this CD.
Customer Review: This is the perfect showcase for the multitalented vocalist. She pays compliments to standards, and makes a few unknown songs all her own.
Customer Review: There's not much more I can add to the glowing reviews of this CD except to say that I'm surprised that "A un nino llorando" doesn't get a mention! It became my favorite on the album, even though the rest are excellent also.
"A Christmas Carol" is quite serene and nice, as well as "A Virgin... more info
Customer Review: This is one of the best performances I have heard. I say this because although several of the selections were music I usually dislike, as performed here I really enjoyed them. This preogram includes a wide range of music from Viennese operetta of Kalman, Lehar, etc, through opera, songs by... more info
