The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe Denon Records Bach: The 6 Unaccompanied Cello Suites Sony 25 Classical Favorites Vox (Classical) Romanza Philips From his childhood on the family farm in rural Tuscany to the worldwide stage Andrea Bocelli has achieved phenomenal success His singing is only partially the point and his fame owes much more to the aura of romance and the romantic archetype thats attached to him Romanza is by far Bocellis largest success winning adoration thanks to the swooning vocals and the easy sometimes lush always pop-safe instrumental textures and melodies As far as his opera chops go Bocelli has won the approval of Pavarotti but likely will not wow enthusiasts The upside is that Bocelli will likely grow the opera pie convincing labels to take on more operatic projects --Andrew Bartlett 25 Mozart Favorites Vox (Classical) This is an astonishing collection of works - or parts of works - by Mozart that covers almost every aspect of his creative output symphonic religious music concerti for piano horn violin clarinet flute chamber music serenades for strings winds a couple of opera overtures and more Those who know and love Mozarts music will not need this but its a great introduction a great overview The selections are well-chosen and interestingly organized with familiar pieces splrinkled among some not-so well known A good primer --Robert Levine Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris Sony Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone Sony Ennio Morricone is well-known to moviegoers His soundtracks for The Mission The Good the Bad and the Ugly Once Upon a Time in America Cinema Paradiso and others are invariably warmly melodic and superbly suited to the films they grace They not only add atmosphere they help tell the story For this CD Morricone has created new orchestrations for many of his scores adding a solo cello part for the indefatigable Yo-Yo Ma whose musical curiosity seems to be endless Outside the films these pieces tend to be lovely melodies mostly pretty sentimental stuff and in the best way gorgeous aural wallpaper The most moving are the two selections from The Mission but fans of Morricones music will find plenty to enjoy here Mas playing as always is exquisite---warm deeply felt given the circumstances and entirely idiomatic within the context Perhaps not quite for the classical music lover but an affectionate reworking of music by an important film composer --Robert Levine At the Movies Denon Records Beethoven: Symphonies 5 & 7 Deutsche Grammophon Long regarded as the quintessential interpretation of the most popular and best-loved symphony ever written this performance of the Fifth has everything passion precision drama lyric beauty and a coiled fury in the first movement that sets your pulse racing from the very first note Carlos Kleiber has made very few recordings in his distinguished career but almost all are special If you own no other copy of this symphony this is the one to get It comes with an exceptional performance of the Seventh--not quite as gripping as the Fifth but definitely one of the great ones There is classical music and there are classic recordings of classical music This ones a classic -- David Hurwitz The Melody of Rhythm FLECK,BELA Koch Records In this era of cookie-cutter synthetic sounds that can be generated by virtually anyone and everyone its almost impossible to make music that can be instantly recognized as unique and incomparable To have that music revealed as both groundbreaking and accessible to all is an even rarer occurrence Banjo legend Bela Fleck tabla genius Zakir Hussain and double-bass master Edgar Meyer internationally-renowned virtuosi and composers have achieved that pinnacle with this release The centerpiece and catalyst for this album is The Melody of Rhythm Concerto a gorgeously haunting dynamic three-movement composition for banjo double bass and tabla Recorded live with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Leonard Slatkin the highly rhythmic work soars melding Indian classical rhythms with American roots-derived melodies and big-sky orchestral horizons The remaining trio pieces further explore a group dynamic that promises to gain in richness and nuance as they continue their travels throughout the world Fleck and Meyer have been collaborating for over 25 years inclduing the Grammy-winning Perpetual Motion and the classic Appalachian Journey with Yo Yo Ma Fellow Grammy winner Zakir Hussain is generally acknowledged to be the worlds greatest virtuoso of the tabla drums renowned for his cross-genre work with the likes of John McLaughlins Shakti Mickey Harts Planet Drum and Yo To Mas Silk Road Project For all three of these explorers an understanding of musical tradition and improvisation has led them to this common crossroads or as Bela Fleck described it in a recent Downbeat cover story getting together with some brothers he hadnt seen in some time
