Albinoni: Complete works for German Flute

Advantages: Relaxing, serene, dreamy
Disadvantages: The first track is not actual Albinoni

...is a compilation of Albinoni’s slower movements released on the Elektra label on the 24th August 1999. It has a running time of 1 hour 15 minutes and costs £6.99. I purchased my copy from Borders but the CD should be available at most good music shops. The Composer Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni was born on 8th June 1671 in Venice Italy, the eldest son of a wealthy paper merchant. A renowned violinist and composer, he preferred to work “dilettante” rather than seek employment with the church or court. Albinoni married an opera singer, Margherita Raimondi. Apart from this, not much more is actually known of Albinoni's life. In all Albinoni composed 81 operas, 99 sonatas, 59, concertos and 9 sinfonias. However, so much of his musical work has been lost particularly during the latter years of World War II and the bombing of the Dresden State library... Read review

Advantages: Nice relaxing music
Disadvantages: Has not actually been made by Albinoni

...This music is considered to be good music for easy listening. It is as civilized as classical music, but it is made in modern times. When you need to relax, or you really enjoy easy listening music, then this album is an excellent choice. I enjoy easy listening music alot, and I do have this album. Every day, I listen to it. Although this album hasn't been made by Albinoni, I still say he had some part in it. Out of all the different kinds of music in the world, easy listening is one of the best, and this album of easy listening music is considered one the best albums. If you are into easy listening music, then consider buying Albinino. I sure did and I enjoy every minute of it. In fact, I listen to this album more than any other album I got. And you should too....

Advantages: out of this world
Disadvantages: get out of here!

...Completly mind bending, this must be one of the finest pieces of musical work I have ever heard in my life, absolutly fantastic. I have yet to meet a single person that has anything but praise for this timeless classic. It will make you jump around like Tony Blair on Prozac for no reason at all! When you put Leftism on your stereo you just lose control of yourself. The album also has its mellow moments such as 21st Century Poem and the completly fantastic Original which features the soul moving vocals of Toni Halliday. But its best moments are the bangin Black Flute and Release the Pressure. If you do not own this album then go and get it now.... Read review
