4 out of 5 stars Well, not "Perfect"..........2004-04-19

Like the other reviewer, I feel it's difficult to label this CD "The Perfect Mozart" without including the 25 Symphony. However, that shows how pointless it is to label ANY CD "The Perfect Mozart" - especially just a single CD. Most of my favorite Mozart isn't on here. It just goes to show how silly it is to think of a Mozart "greatest hits" album.

However, what is important is how the pieces on the album are played and I must say that they are all played well. Much of it is conducted by Neville Mariner, who did the music for the movie Amadeus. I am listening to the CD now and for some reason - possibly because of the irreverent nature of the album - on the computer all the performers are labeled "some dumb orchestra".

All in all, this is not the "only" Mozart album you will ever need, but it is a good random sampling of some of Wolfgang's catchier tunes.

5 out of 5 stars Wolfie at his most accessible.......2000-09-20

It must be tough to compile a "best of" type selection for a composer as prolific as Mozart. I picked this CD up yesterday and was very happy with what selections it included. I would have to say that if it included the rousing opening movement to Mozart's 25th Symphony, it surely would be the "Perfect Mozart". I have a ton of other Mozart CD's, but none of them amass all of the most recognizable pieces quite like this one. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars The Art of Virgil Fox Vol. 2.......2007-04-01

I find the recording quality of this CD to be very good. As a child I had the opportunity to meet the organist Virgil Fox through my mother, who was a friend and colleague of his (she was the soprano soloist at the Riverside Church where he was organist - the Riverside Church is also the place where the recordings were made). I also heard Mr. Fox live and found him to be a first-class artist. I can recommend the CD without reservation. Alexander Stevenson

4 out of 5 stars !.......2003-11-19

This CD is just a small sample of the greatness of Virgil Fox. However, it is a must-have. It demonstrates the breadth of works which Fox mastered and in the more sentimental songs, those which he beautifully interpreted during his illustrious career; and these recordings at Riverside Church are an indispensable part of his legacy. The program starts with the majestic "We All Believe in one God", where we hear the control of dynamics and unique way Fox played Bach. Vaughn-Williams' work is an interesting fantasia on the familiar religious tune. The highlight of the CD is the Perpetuum Mobile. A favorite concert piece of Fox, it is an amazing flurry of notes, showing his amazing mastery of the pedalboard, and building to a tremendous crescendo and brilliant arpeggio. Giga is a rapid, merry piece which romps along in the manuals. Tracks 1-4 are the virtuoso organ pieces. Starting with Love's Old Sweet Song, # 5-13, the great interpretations of transcriptions, songs, and sentimental American pieces begin. The piano work Kamenoi Ostrow is a great transcription. A Dream and Calm as the Night are beautiful songs which are beautifully styled on the organ. In short, buy this CD - it is a musical and masterful recording.

    5 out of 5 stars Great compilation album.......2005-03-16

    The set includes 3 CDs - "Relaxing", "Vocals", and "Epic". The recordings are wonderful versions performed by excellent orchestras/singers. I listen to it on my Paradigm speakers and close my eyes and can feel encompassed by the music. The recordings do not have the flaws (hiss, pops, scratches) in the sound that many 'cheap' classical CDs have. For 3 CDs and the quality of the recordings, I found this album a good choice!

    5 out of 5 stars Great CD - Received Damaged.......2007-06-27

    This CD was to be used for my May 19,2007 bride for her ceremony music.
    The CD arrived damaged and Amazon did not have anymore in stock.
    Thank God for an understanding bride.

    3 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2004-10-31

    A mostly music compilation that sounds like a creative mixing genius put it together. Saddly, the wedding entrance march is sung in German (I think). Some of the music is a little "thin" instead of being "full bodied". The wedding exit march will put listeners to sleep. I wish listening samples had been available or I would have saved the money.

          Album Description

          David Rakowski's growing catalog of Études for piano has inspired performances and recordings by leading pianists on both sides of the Atlantic. Volume One of Amy Dissanayake's Rakowski Études series (BRIDGE 9121) drew raves for both Rakowski's quirky and witty music and Dissanayake's bold virtuoso pianism.

          5 out of 5 stars Surpassingly beautiful.......2001-08-02

          This is a terrific anthology of classical orchestral pieces by twentieth-century British composers. This spectacular set includes the hauntingly beautiful Eclogue by Gerald Finzi, Death of Falstaff by William Walton and other fine works by such greats as Benjamin Britten, Ralph Vaughn Williams and Frederick Delius. I bought this collection for one particular piece (Eclogue) and found the entire set well worth the price.

          Just one final note about Eclogue: composer Gerald Finzi worked on this piece for piano and orchestra for decades (l920s - 1956) and died before it was named or performed. It was first performed in a memorial concert dedicated to Finzi. This piece is truly a passionate and fitting elegy for a supremely-talented composer. There is a brief section in the work which is performed in triple time. Without fail, whenever I listen to it, my heart starts to beat in triple time, my throat tightens and I have to take a moment to recover. It is a rare work that can evoke such a strong response.

          5 out of 5 stars Magnificent selection of British music--light and serious.......2000-06-14

          Ah, the rarity of the following statement: This second edition outdoes the first by, well, a good kilometer--and that is no easy feat. Spirit of England II is a beautifully crafted, four-disc compliation of the finest in British neo-classical and light music (circa 1880-1980). There is the familiar (The Planets, Enigma Variations) and the less-so (Finzi's Ecologue, Elgar's The Wand of Youth). Add in the delightful (Ireland's Downland Suite minuet) and the achingly beautiful (Walton's "Touch Her Soft Lips and Part" string instrumental from his Henry V score) and you have over four hours of aural bliss.
