Chant

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical Music > Classical
by: Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz

CD won't play in my PC or rip to MP3, so beware.

It may or may not be enchanting etc but right now Universal have pulled a fast one by selling stuff I can't listen to.

Record companies need to grow up.

Classic FM Guitar - The Ultimate Collection

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical Music > Classical
by: Various Artists

June 16, 2008

This Classic FM 2CD collection of classical guitar music was released at the same time as the Classic FM `Full Works' series of 50 separate CDs, so was slightly upstaged and pushed to the back of the class.

However, it's Classic FM's first serious venture into the area of classical guitar music and with this in mind I think it's a well considered offering. It's not the `Ultimate' of course as the title claims - even a large collection of John Williams, Julian Bream and Andres Segovia wouldn't scratch the surface - but it does score well I think for its success at displaying the versatility of the instrument.

Obvious inclusions are Stanley Myers' `Cavatina' (made famous by the film The Deerhunter) but more interesting ... Read More:

The Best Gregorian Chant Album In The World... Ever!

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical Music > Classical
by: Monks & Choir Boys Of Downside Abbey

April 19, 2004
My wife (for whom I bought it) says that this CD set is very restful and soothing and I have to say that I quite like to hear the singing in the background whilst I slave away at the computer. And, of course, the great thing is that we got two CDs for about the price of one. Excellent!

Vivere - Greatest Hits

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical Music > Classical
by: Andrea Bocelli

November 12, 2007
I have this CD on constant repeat! The music is so varied but holds your attention every step of the way. Bocelli's voice is one you just have to fall in love with. His "Romanza" is 1 of my favourites but "Vivo Per Lei" has me hooked also. GET THIS CD!!!!!!

This is a clasical guitar album recorded by John Williams in his style of ultimate perfection. Don't confuse this with Flamenco Spanish guitar.

Oliver!: Original Film Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK]

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical Music > Classical
by: Original Soundtrack

March 25, 1989
I've always loved the film Oliver! especially singing along with the musical numbers in the film. So recently I purchased the CD soundtrack.

I already love the songs so there's no issue there but the songs are cut from what is heard in the film. This disapointed me which is why i've only given it three stars.

Classic FM Music for Babies

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical Music > Classical
from: Classic FM.(Export

July 18, 2005

This Classic FM compilation released in 2005 with the intention of relaxing the baby offers a good selection of calming music for babies and their mothers too.

Entirely classical music based - including Einaudi's popular piano piece '(La) Onde' - this is a nice relaxing CD, most of the tracks of which should be familiar to those with only a passing interest or limited knowledge of classical music.

Although now superseded by the more recent 2CD version of 'Classic FM Music for Babies' this still looks good value for an hour of relaxation.

Works of Igor Stravinsky [22cd]

Childrens Toy Shop > Classical Music > Classical
by: Igor Stravinsky

July 02, 2007
the master himself-why SONY/BMG dont do this with other artists is curious;
but the playing is excellent as well as the sound, for the dates of recording-and Im
exposed to pieces ive never heard, or even heard of before.
Who knew IS stuck his big toe in to the water of Jazz...?
The shoddy booklet is a real shame, but I cannot complain,
its a box set that doesnt require a fork lift to bring into the house-
and I spent EXACTLY $26.00 USD for it at TOWER Mail Order
true value for money.
