Best (W/3 Bonus Tracks)

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical > Classical
by: Luciano Pavarotti

September 13, 2005
Luciano Pavarotti will live on forever.
His powerful voice is so uplifting and soothing.
I love this music, because it sparked my interest in learning the Italian language.
My favorite track is the lively "La Donna E' Mobile" composed by Verdi.
I also love Pavarotti's rendition of Verdi's "Libiamo Ne' Lieti Calici"(Let's make a toast). This song is a celebration of life.
"La Danza" (The Dance) is an up tempo track from Rossini.
"O Sole Mio" is such a pretty romantic song, a hymn to the Sun.
This track is a pure gem.
His voice sounds so elegant on the track "Nessun Dorma" (Let nobody be asleep}.
"M'appari" (She appeared to me) is another standout track.
Pavarotti sounds so peaceful here ... Read More:

Master And Commander Far Side

by: Soundtrack (Score)

November 18, 2003
I have been listening to this CD regularly since January and have yet to be bored with it. It has a wonderful variety of the powerful, serious and playful. And it gives more complete versions of the music in the film.

Andre Rieu: La Vie Est Belle

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical > Classical
starring: André Rieu

January 24, 2006
Our family has most of Andre Rieu's DVDs, and this one ranks near the top (We think his Dublin DVD is probably the best), in quality, musical selections, and repeated watchability. The 4 musical highlights on this DVD are 'Juliska from Budapest', 'Poliushko Polie' (my personal favorite), 'Bolero', and the title track, 'Life is Beautiful'. The selections include some bagpipers (2 tracks), a russian trio (3 tracks), Andre's female choir (mainly throughout), and a little bit of pyrotechnics (Bolero)...reflecting the variety Andre instills in his shows. I can understand some reviewers being upset by the length (shorter than the full actual concert), but I would take this as a sort of compliment to Andre...he leaves you wanting more! The DVD is great ... Read More:

Famous Ballet Music

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical > Classical
from: Universal Music Group

July 20, 1999
Herbert von Karajan was the most recorded conductor in history. For that reason, he made a lot of records (that turned into CDs) like this one -- collections of well-known music that the public wants to hear over and over again. This group of ballet music is good, done in Karajan's typical highly chiseled style with a minimum of sentimentality. I once read a critic who called the style Karajan and Szell popularized the "school of industrial perfection", meaning every note in its place every time. That's true here, too. My favorite among these bon bons is the Tchaikovsky music from "Sleeping Beauty". Karajan is still hailed today for his later stereo version of the final Tchaikovsky troika of symphonies. Many critics put him up there with the best ... Read More:

Affairs of the Heart

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical > Classical
from: Cbc

June 27, 2000
I heard this on CBC radio recently and instantly fell in love with it. It is an absolutely beautiful CD and my favourite is "Affairs of the Heart". It is intoxicating, bold, rich, lush, passionate, feverish, soothing, mesmerizing, addictive, moving, melodic, captivating, intense, complex and simple, simply orgasmic. I really like this CD and you will, too. Thank you Marjan Mozetich. (Who is he, by the way?)
