| 1. |  | A Copland Celebration Vol. 1 from Sony Price: $13.98 Customer Review:  Good recording of an identifiably "American" composer. Whether you believe that his "serious" compositions should out-weigh public attention (and recognition) of his ballet scores is just a matter of taste and exposure. I recommend reading any one of several good biographies available to more fully... |

| 2. |  | Gounod: Messe Solennelle de Sainte Cécile; Petite Symphonie for wind instruments from EMI Classics Price: $4.97 Customer Review:  If you spent any time singing in a choir, especially a church choir, you've probably performed this. This recording does it justice on a budget. Personally I think the standout in this recording are the men of the Rene' Duclos Choir. Great performances by the Conservatoire orchestra and conductor... |

| 3. |  | Charpentier: Musique Sacrée (includes Bonus CD) from Archiv Prod Import Customer Review: This is one of the best recorded CDs I have heard. After listening to this you would feel that Charpentier undoubtedly ranks among the best of baroque composers--with a little twist of his own in his compositions. The first and last pieces in this CD have beautiful Timpani accompanyment with... |

| 5. |  | Louis Spohr: Octet & Nonet from Hyperion UK Price: $23.98 Customer Review: In his day, Spohr was one of the most highly regarded violinists and composers in the German-speaking world. Until eclipsed by Mendelssohn and Schumann, he was regarded as the greatest symphonist after Beethoven. And while his symphonies and even concertos are getting a new lease on life thanks to... |

| 6. | [no image] | Josef Hofmann, Vol. 4 from Video Artists Int'l Price: $16.98 Customer Review: Hofmann - particularly late Hofmann - may be an acquired taste. Despite having been the protégé of Anton Rubinstein, "the wonderful boy" was recognized from quite an early age as the exemplar of a modern style of playing - textually faithful, eschewing swooning or bombast. (See,... |

| 7. |  | Bax: Nonet; Oboe Quintet; Elegiac Trio from Hyperion UK Price: $23.98 Customer Review: Even if you're normally not much for Bax, his chamber music can be rewarding. The Nonet is the one usually discussed, but, actually, this disc is a find for other reasons: At the hands of the Nash Ensemble, the Elegiac Trio and the Clarinet Sonata become absolutely gorgeous compositions! |

| 9. |  | French Music for Wind Ensemble from Chandos Price: $13.98 Customer Review:  This CD offers three delightful French scores played with aplomb and subtlety by the Athena Ensemble. The timing -- less than 50 minutes -- is hardly exemplary by modern standards but the list price of less than $9 makes up for that. The program offered here -- Gounod's "Petite Symphonie in B... |

| 11. |  | Louise Farrenc: Musique de chambre from Valois Price: $16.99 Customer Review: Until I purchased this recording, I had not previously heard any of Louise Farrenc's music. This recording of some of her Musique de chambre is delightful in every way. The chamber music on this album is highly "fragrant" French romantic chamber music is very enticing. I particularly enjoyed the... |

| 15. |  | Carl Czerny, Vol. 1: Nonet; Grande Sérénade Concertante, Op. 126 from MD&G Records Price: $17.98 Customer Review: You wonder how such a wonderful piece as the Nonet could have been forgotten and it is hard to believe that this work only exists in manuscript form. And a first class performance too especially from Tanski. It is sometimes hard to imagine that you are only listening to 9 instruments with the... |

| 18. |  | Saint-Saëns Plays Saint-Saëns & Hofmann Plays Hofmann from Delta Customer Review: These performances are from piano rolls...although you wouldn't know it from anywhere on the title or literature included with the CD. Not that I'm against piano rolls, I like hearing Saint-Saens playing in a crisp clear fashion. The Hofmann selections are also wonderful, but I believe also... |

| 19. |  | French Flute Favourites from Naxos Price: $8.99 Customer Review: Grauwels is quite wonderful. As a professional flutist trained in France myself, listening to his Gallic articulation and Paris Conservatoire inspired phrasing is redolent of a time when average citizens would frequently have intelligent conversations on the relative merits of Gaubert, Moyse,... |
