Review of Sibelius: Symphony No 5 and 6 by MAFARRIMOND

Advantages: Heroic fifth. Mysrterious sixth.
Disadvantages: None

...Jean Sibelius is striking for his originality and his innovative use of tonal colour in his orchestral compositions. The conductor of this recording of Symphonies Nos 5 & 6, Sir Colin Davies once said, “Nothing else sounds like Sibelius”. The music is indeed unique and distinctive. Jean Christian Sibelius, Finland's greatest composer, was born in 1865 and is best known for his seven symphonies that he wrote between 1899 and 1924. Sibelius felt that music should be pure music and that every note within the music given importance. Sibelius once commented that, “A symphony should be music first and last." His Symphonies, number 5 and 6, recorded on this CD are just that. The two symphonies contrast and compliment each other to produce a magnificence. The fifth is heroic, strong and vivid whilst the sixth is mysterious and radiant yet... Read review

One of the best recordings available
Review of Little, Tasmin - Brahms and Sibelius Violin Concertos by bae22

Advantages: Excellent recordings on one CD
Disadvantages: Competing with so many other recordings

...These recordings of the Brahms and Sibelius Vioin Concertos are performed by Tasmin Little and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. As you would expect, the quality is excellent. Tasmin has no difficulties with the technical side of the music, giving a first rate performance. There is little I can say about the CD. There are a few recordings of these concertos competing for top place, and this one is certainly in the running. However, it might be worth comparing this to the recordings by Kennedy and Maxime Vengerov before parting with your money, but it is really down to a matter of personal preference.... Read review

Michael Jackson - LEGEND!
Review of Number Ones - Michael Jackson by damob123

Advantages: Originality, so unique, Great sounds!
Disadvantages: None

...Michael Jackson - One of the all time legends, if not THE all time legend! His style and voice combined, gives the world something out of this world! The number ones album is packed full of all those classics: Thriller, Dirty Diana, Bad, Billie Jean and much more. This CD can be purchased from as little as £6, which i find an insult considering the quality of this mans reputation in the music industry. Value for money - Unbelievably Great! Originality - Who is more original than Michael Jackson? You wont find anything else like it. Lyrics - Again very original (Puts a smile on your face - So emotional) Every track is as good as the last. Michael Jackson number ones This CD should be in every CD collection... Read review
