Beautiful; a great new tenor voice Advantages: Great voice! Disadvantages: None! Andrea Bocelli is a great new talent when it comes to tenor voices, and this is another excellent album. He does more than justice to the three versions of 'Ave Maria' here (including one which wasn't familiar to me), and altogether this is a very appealing choice of arias to listen to during a quiet evening by the fire or - my choice - at full volume in the car! The inclusion of a couple of Christmas carols is no doubt because of its original release ... quadruped 20.07.2000 · Read full review Review of Sacred Arias	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

A magnificent collection Advantages: The finest recording on two CDs Disadvantages: You can only listen to one CD at a time! This double CD from a large collection brings together what are considered to be the finst recordings ever made by the artist. The version of Rachmaninov's Piano Cencerto No. 3 is perhaps the definitive recording: technically brilliant and a joy to listen to, and by far my favourite version. She has chosen the scherzo-like cadenza which Rachmaninov himself favoured. Also featured are Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit among ... bae22 01.08.2000 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Great Pianists of the 20th Century - Martha Argerich	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

Solo piano at its best Advantages: Incredible virtuosity Disadvantages: High price tag This young pianist from Russia burst onto the music scene in the mid-nineties and has made a huge impact. His first CD is a collection of piano transcriptions, many of which are arranged by Horowitz. The sheer virtuosity combined with great passion for the music ensures captive listening. The recording of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 is by far the best I have come across. He also shows off his talents as a composer by playing his own arrangement ... bae22 01.08.2000 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Arcadi Volodos: Piano Transcriptions	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

Songs Without Words Advantages: Outstanding playing, interesting repertoire Disadvantages: Full price disc ...Bach/Busoni transcriptions, excerpts from Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words and some of Liszt's transcriptions of Schubert songs, the disc shows off Perahia's astounding technique and musicality simultaneously. I've listened to this disc almost every day for the past two months and I'm STILL not bored with it! It seems to have a piece of music for every mood, from the upbeat, almost jazzy feel of the Bach to the sombre gallop of Schubert's Erl-King. ...

JS Bach Advantages: Great piano playing of a great Bach composition. Disadvantages: None One of Gould's final recordings, this is probably the definitive piano version of Bach's keyboard masterpiece. Gould runs the theme & thirty variations as a unified whole. His playing is characterised by clear fast passages, crisp ornaments and controlled, intense playing of the slow variations (nos.15 & 26). Even his humming along to the music does not detract from a joyous performance. The final section from variation 27 to the slow return to the ... johndoc 25.09.2000 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Bach: Goldberg Variations (1981)	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...
