| 1. |  | Messiah (George Frederick Handel) London Philharmonic Orchestra by Handel Price: $9.99 Customer Review:  I find it completely ridiculous that there is evidently not an option to preview even one single recording of Handel's Messiah on this website. How in the world am I supposed to know which one I want to buy? A boycott is sounding like a good idea right now. |

| 2. |  | Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Caballé · Ghiaurov · Krause · Pears · LPO · Mehta from Decca Price: $30.49 Customer Review:  What incredibly beautiful music this is! Puccini's "Turandot" is my all time favorite and this cast gives a stellar performance on his final, unfinished work. I bought this CD only because I wanted Pavarotti's version of "Nessun Dorma," but I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the full... |

| 3. |  | Handel - Messiah / Harper, Watts, Wakefield, Shirley-Quirk, LSO, C. Davis by George Frideric Handel Price: $14.99 Customer Review:  From the opening Sinfonia, this Messiah is far too subdued. While it may be nuanced and even, it lacks passion, grandeur and any sense of the sacred, and has little narrative drive. The Choruses, except for the Hallelujah Chorus, have little majesty. There is also something wrong with the sound mix.... |

| 4. |  | Beethoven: The Complete Symphonies and Piano Concertos from EMI Classics Price: $43.97 Customer Review: Otto Klemperer conducts the definitive performances of the Beethoven symphonies. The transition of the original recordings to a modern digitalized format is itself beautifully crafted so that each layer of the orchestra is given its own unique setting and place. An outstanding production of this... |

| 5. |  | The Ultimate Puccini Collection by Giacomo Puccini Price: $13.99 Customer Review: When I was in Lucca, It., the birthplace of Puccini, we attended a concert in a local church that was so beautiful. This CD brought me right back there. A lovely way to spend time listening to Puccini. |

| 6. |  | Hymns Triumphant 1 & 2 by Lee Holdridge Price: $10.99 Customer Review: We couldn't be happier with this album! Having been raised in the Methodist tradition our world was brightened by this music and listening to the music is like going home! My husband, from England and the anglican tradition, says that was raised with this music also, and loves to relax... |

| 7. |  | Amore: Romantic Italian Love Songs from Decca Price: $17.98 Customer Review: Pavarotti is without doubt the greatest tenor for the last several decades. Even if you're not an opera fan, you'll enjoy this cd. |

| 9. |  | Carmen / Troyanos, Domingo, van Dam, Te Kanawa; Sir Georg Solti by Georges Bizet Price: $50.98 Customer Review: First of all, History: Carmen is not a grand opera. The belief in the opposite is one of the most artistically catastrophic malapropisms in the history of Western music. Georges Bizet, the greatest French composer of his day (in the world of Charles Gounod and Jacques Offenbach), is remembered... |

| 10. |  | Massenet: Thaïs / Sills, Milnes, Gedda; Maazel by Jules Massenet Customer Review: I have this recording on LP from the 70's but I had forgotten what beautiful music is in this opera.I was stunned when I heard the CD here. There is little not to like, especially the wonderful singing of Miss Sills and Mr. Milnes. One wonders why Miss Sills did not sing this role more in her career... |

| 11. |  | The Ultimate Divas Album by Gioachino Rossini Price: $16.98 Customer Review: SEVENTEEN DIVINE DIVAS IN FAVORITE ROLES. "Qualifications for divahood may be elusive, but there is little doubt that the 17 artists featured in this collection eminently qualify." George Jeffries. To which I heartily agree!!!!! The term 'diva' refers to the goddesses of the operatic world who... |

| 13. |  | In A Monastery Garden: The Immortal Works Of Ketelbey from Decca Import Price: $11.98 Customer Review: I can see how this music might have been used as accompaniment to a showing of the silent film "Thief of Baghdad", or "The Sheik", or any one of those swashbucklers. Not that the exotic was all that Ketelbey indulged in, as this CD will reveal. I recommend it highly. And for those interested in... |

| 14. |  | Bruckner: Masses #2 & 3, Te Deum, 5 Motets by Anton Bruckner Price: $8.97 Customer Review: I had Te Deum originally on audio cassette, and played it until it was worn. I am so thrilled that this beautiful and moving piece is now on CD. The quality of soloists is fabulous and the chorus is strong. The string entrance to Te Deum always gives me the chills. Absolutely a wonderful addition to... |

| 15. |  | Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius - The Music Makers / Gedda, Watts, Lloyd, Baker; Boult by Edward Elgar Price: $13.97 Customer Review: This is the second recording of this work I have in my possession, the other being the Britten version, and I have also heard the Barbirolli one. This one is undoubtedly my favourite, if not specifically for the interpretation (as in a way I prefer Britten for reasons mentioned below), then... |

| 16. |  | Festival of Christmas Carols by Davis Price: $7.98 Customer Review: Since my teenage years I can not imagine a christmas without this music. The songs are beautifully arranged with a good balance between royal big orchestrations and intimate small settings. Although the orchestrations are classical they come with a large contemporary, one might even say filmish... |

| 19. |  | Berlioz: Requiem; Symphonie Fantastique from EMI Classics Customer Review:  As a bargain twofer this EMI release of Previn's early Berlioz Requiem is worth considering. As you'd expect, the English chorus is veyr good, and they are placed so that we can hear the text fairly clearly. But the recording gets congested in loud climaxes, and the acoustic space is gigantic--like... |

MY FIRST VERDI REQUIEM WAS BY SOME OBSCURE RUSSIAN GROUP THAT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE NOTES, EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE SINGING--AND YET IT MARKED ME FOREVER. I OWNED MANY COPIES BY DIFFERENT... |
