| 1. |  | Sarah Brightman Classics by Sarah Brightman Price: $10.97 Customer Review:  What a rare treat to hear such a wonderful voice! The music transcends the various languages( Latin, Italian, French, Spanish and almost no English) and communicates directly, beyond intellect, deeper to sooth the soul. This we expect from Opera and Religious selections such as Pucinni's "Nessun... |

| 2. |  | Beethoven: Symphonies 5 & 7 from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $10.99 Customer Review:  Kleiber's account of the 5th stands out because of its precision and speed. Usually these two factors relate inversely and therein lies Kleiber's achievement, I would say, especially considering that this symphony's drama requires an urgency. Karajan's '63 recording is precise and reasonably quick,... |

| 3. |  | Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies by Beethoven's Wig Price: $11.99 Customer Review: The first time I sampled this, I thought it was a bit 'corny' but I still bought it because of the very many recommendations it received. I did not regret my decision because after hearing the whole album with my kids, I was just delighted to see them respond to each song so well so much so... |

| 4. |  | Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics, Vol. 2 from Buena Vista Price: $6.98 Customer Review: I knew we would want this after hearing Volume 1. I don't think my daughter has heard more than the first 4 songs, since she generally falls asleep by then. Glad it is so pleasant for us to listen to as well! |

| 5. |  | Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music, Fifth Edition, Volume 2: Classic to Twentieth Century (6 CDs) (v. 2) from W. W. Norton Price: $64.05 Customer Review: Excellent product..one of the standard anthologies available for studying Music History. One caveat, if you're using Hanning's Concise Grout as a companion text, be sure to match the correct edition of the anthology + recordings to the correct edition of the text. |

| 8. |  | Ludwig van Beethoven: The 9 Symphonies - Arturo Toscanini / NBC Symphony Orchestra by Ludwig van Beethoven (Composer) Price: $26.99 Customer Review: I disagree with the criticism of Toscanini's conducting speed - it feels right to me. I also disagree with excessive criticism of the recording quality - it sounds fine to me; not up to today's standards but the recordings are over a half century old. However, BMG or RCA (both have their... |

| 9. |  | Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 / Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $10.99 Customer Review:  Previously, a reviewer wrote: "Karajan in 1962 wanted to perform Beethoven in a modern way compared to the overtly spiritual, often very slow, heavy, and rubato-laden style of the past in Germany. ... in the last movement Karajan takes the vocal line faster... "By comparison, Karajan... |

| 10. |  | Beethoven's Wig 4: Dance Along Symphonies by Beethoven's Wig Price: $13.99 Customer Review: The "Beethoven's Wig" series of CDs present very cleverly written parodies of familiar classical works. Following the parodies (for which the words are printed), the same works are presented in instrumental form. Several people have discovered that putting words to classical works ("Songs without... |

| 11. |  | Classical Christmas by Lumiere String Quartet Price: $11.99 Customer Review: This CD has a great assortment of familiar Christmas tunes as well as a couple of surprises; the elegant and stately Winter from The Four Seasons, and the Christmas Concerto from Corelli, for example, are welcome inclusions for someone like me, who likes meatier pieces in between. Also, the less... |

| 12. |  | Beethoven: Les 9 Symphonies from EMI Classics France Price: $19.98 Customer Review: For decades, I have considered this set, along with Konwitschny's, to be one of the two best ever recorded; and here is why: Both sets wear better with each successive hearing, and both are monumental and devoid of mannerisms, or of any pretenses or straining for effects. Furthermore, unlike... |

| 13. |  | Baby Einstein: Traveling Melodies from Buena Vista Price: $6.98 Customer Review: I recently sent this cd to my grandaughter for her daughter who is 7 months old and cranky in the car. Grandaughter tells me the baby is quiet listening to music which makes her life easier! |

| 14. |  | The Norton Recordings: Four CDs to accompany The Norton Scores & The Enjoyment of Music, Tenth Shorter Edition from W W Norton & Co Inc (Np) Customer Review: This book was sent in excellent shape and in a timely manner. I would definitely consider buying from this seller again. |

| 15. |  | Ludwig van Beethoven: 9 Symphonien by Gundula Janowitz Price: $35.99 Customer Review: It is fashionable to deprecate Von Karajan - maybe because of his Nazi youth. But this set of the Symphonies excels. Only the 9th feels a bit messy. There are no better recordings of the 2nd, 6th, and 4th that I have heard. It's all thrilling from the very start. If you're looking for a set, you... |

| 16. |  | 25 Tchaikovsky Favorites from Vox (Classical) Price: $4.98 Customer Review: This is a great CD offering 25 of Tchaikovsky's best. The quality is good, and the price can't be beat! I bought it for $2.99 with free super-saver shipping. |

| 17. |  | Johann Strauss: Waltzes from Decca Price: $6.99 Customer Review: Excellent product for the price. Can't comment on the performance per se, having no real background in classical music, but the Strass Waltzes are very pleasing to me, and I would buy this CD again. |

| 18. |  | Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies from Rounder / Umgd Price: $11.99 Customer Review: There are just as many great sing alongs in this CD as in the first. Most of the tracks are very singable (the Brahms piece is difficult). Lots of fun and plenty of goofy lyrics. |

| 19. |  | Beethoven Edition: Complete Works (85CD Box Set) from Brilliant Classics Price: $118.99 Customer Review: Compré este producto en noviembre 23 de 2007 y me deleité escuchando estos 84 CD's. La calidad de las grabaciones es muy buena. Como tarjeta de presentación basta mencionar los nombres de Arthur Grumiaux y Kurt Masur. Esta colección permite acceder a toda la obra de... |

| 20. |  | Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker (complete) / Symphony No. 4 (complete) from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $23.98 Customer Review: Once in too great a while one stumbles across a recording of an old chestnut or warhorse that is unlike any previously encountered and yet is more "right" than the others. Gone here is the overweight grandeur that tends to bombast found in too many Nutcracker (and Tchaikovsky generally) recordings.... |
