(The) Most Beautiful Adagios - Music Next to Silence

Advantages: Excellent tracks
Disadvantages: No Disadvantages

...I am a great fan of Tiesto. I think he truly is the best. Parade of the Athletes is perfectly done, the way it just flows from one track to the next is of excellence. My favourite track of them all is "Adagio for Strings" Playing it at the loudest I can, at home or in car opens a doorway to the listener so you can tune right into the beats and be transformed into a world of euphoria. It is fantastic how an old piece of any music of any genre can be transformed into a modern day trance mix and this is especially true of Adagio For Strings. Originally a very classical composition, yet when Tiesto mixed this music he brought it to life giving it a whole new identity without losing its originality. It is of no wonder that Tiesto has come so far in his field. He has a talent that is exceptional I would definitely recommend this... Read review

Advantages: Haunting, passionate music to get lost in.
Disadvantages: It's classical and this puts people off before they even try it.

...It is entirely due to Floon’s enthusiastic review of Schubert’s Quintet that I am writing this. I was browsing the classical reviews seeking some recommendations to try and happened upon this. I only have one example of Schubert in my collection (Rosamund) and quite enjoy it so thought I would give this a go too. So off to the Library I went and returned clutching The Raphael Ensemble’s superb rendition of the String quintet. Oh joy – Oh heaven I seem to have hit the jackpot of chamber music. Schubert’s life is the quintessential example of the romantic notion of the neglected genius who dies in obscurity. An entire generation passed before his most substantial achievements even saw the light of day. The quintet is among them. It was one of his last works written only weeks before he died at such a tragically young age of 31. Although... Read review
