	The Only Choral Album You'll Ever Need - The cheesy title may raise a smile and may make you slightly dubious about this two-disc ... more set. But The Only Choral Album You'll Ever Need is a combination of fine vintage recordings and (sometimes) cheeky programming. For example, Mahler's Symphony No. 8--the ultimate in late-romantic hyperbole--is followed by the opening of Monteverdi's Vespers, effectively a baroque composer's attempt to capture the same massive grandeur. The juxtaposition is startling and amusing, but it also provides a fascinating and unexpected link between Monteverdi and Mahler. There are some great choirs on offer here, with a rich variety of styles: the Choir of Trinity College Cambridge (singing Barber, Fauré, Allegri, John Tavener and others) is an excellent mixed-voice ensemble in the Anglican tradition, while the Bolshoi Chorus and Orchestra (Borodin's Polovtsian Dances) offers a much throatier sound. There's Viennese polish (Karajan conducting March of the Toreadors) and German lustiness (the Bavarian Radio Choir and Orchestra singing Mahler). If you're new to choral music you could do a lot worse than start here. --Warwick Thompson	£ 4.98	Postage & Packaging: Free! Availability: Usually dispatched within 24 hours...

	The Only Piano Album You'll Ever Need - Whoever first dreamt up the title "The Only Piano/Opera/Banjo Album You'll Ever Need" must ... more have been hoping record buyers wouldn't take it too literally. A translation would be "We Hope That When You've Listened To This You'll Want To Buy Lots More Piano/Opera/Banjo Albums". So as an attempt to lure listeners into the world of the piano, how does this set measure up? Most of the all-time favourite piano pieces are here (though you won't find Golliwogg's Cakewalk) and childhood memories may well be stirred by the likes of Für Elise and Rondo alla Turca. It's not all solo piano--the orchestra is wheeled on for the Big Moments from concertos by Grieg, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Mozart and Rachmaninov (who also gets the famous 18th variation from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini). Among the big-name pianists represented are Geza Anda, Emanuel Ax, Emil Gilels, Vladimir Horowitz, Alfredo Perl, Kathryn Stott and Andrew Wilde. Recordings range in time from 1955 to 1999. Purists may bridle at the lollipop nature of the programme, but for those genuinely looking for an introduction to the instrument's richly rewarding repertoire, the 150 minutes of music on these two CDs should fit the bill nicely. --Keith Clarke	£ 5.18	Postage & Packaging: Free!

	The Only Musicals Album You'll Ever Need - Various Artists The title of this double album makes an audacious claim, but there are some classic ... more performances: Ethel Merman ("There's No Business Like Show Business"), Carol Channing ("Hello, Dolly"), Zero Mostel ("If I Were A Rich Man") and Angela Lansbury ("Everything's Coming Up Roses") are present in all their glory. Even Marilyn Monroe, who didn't star in a single stage musical, sneaks in with her quintessential "I Wanna Be Loved By You" from Some Like It Hot. More recent talents are represented by Michael Ball ("Love Changes Everything"), Alan Cumming ("Money"), Maria Friedman, Ruthie Henshall, Debbie Gravitte ... and the list goes on. Original cast numbers are supplemented with tracks licensed from TER's series of complete studio recordings, and solos from, among others, Cleo Laine and Lesley Garrett. Even Julie Andrews gets a look in, although sadly it is only through her voice over for the parrot in the London production of Doctor Dolittle. Most of the great, popular shows of the second half of the 20th century years are represented, and it would be hard to fault the cast list, even if some of them are odd choices: why, for example, have Marti Webb singing the Phantom's aria, "Music of the Night"? All in all, though, an indulgent hotchpotch for the easy listener rather than a selection for musical purists. --Piers Ford	£ 10.98	Postage & Packaging: Free!
