Customer Reviews:
Simply astounding.......2006-11-06
It is not without a sense of awe that I write these words. I believe Mr. Handel himself, had he been alive to hear this recording, would have been thoroughly delighted and not perhaps devoid of a tear or two.
The grace and elegance with which these endearing sonatas are played is simply astounding. Both Manze and Egarr ought to be given knighthoods for this CD. It just has no peers. I find this supremely enjoyable CD to be an absolutely essential part of any serious baroque music fan's collection. The liner notes provide great background information of each of the sonatas, even those of less than certain authenticity, with a meticulousness that could concieveably allow for acceptable academic referencing, which is saying something!
With a careful attention to detail, the performers have given us a brilliant interpretation (I am willing to say the BEST I have ever heard, as obsequious as that may sound), of these works, in what must be considered a benchmark of high standards. Five out of five, for the purchase of the decade.

Heavenly.......2007-06-06
A collection of masters that insist that you relax as you listen. An exquisit addition to any music cd collection.
What a value!.......2005-07-26
A wonderful collection of music spanning from the Baroque to the Modern and so Affordable. Each CD is in a full size jewel-case with beautiful cover art - paintings of Renaissance-era angels in muted, slightly reflective, metal-tone inks - all within a box that ties them all together. There are no liner notes in the booklet, just track listings, but the music speaks for itself. It's not completely apparent from the track listing who the composers are, so here's the breakdown: Disc 1 - Vivaldi's "Four Seasons"; Disc 2 - Vivaldi flute concertos; Disc 3 and 4 - Bach Brandonburg concertos; Disc 5 - Bach violin concertos; Disc 6 - Handel concerto grossi; Disc 7 - Handel organ concertos; Disc 8 - Flute concertos by Quantz, Heinchen, Buffardin, Adolph-Hasse; Disc 9 - Mozartt violin concertos; Disc 10 - Mozart horn concertos; Disc 11 - Mozart piano concertos; Disc 12 - Haydn cello concertos; Disc 13 - Haydn violin concertos; Disc 14 - Tchaikovsky violin concerto and piano concerto; Disc 15 - Paganini and Chausson violin concertos; Disc 16 - Bruch and Mendelssohn violin concertos; Disc 17 - Brahms concertos; Disc 18 - Dvorak and Hindesmith cello concertos; Disc 19 - Russian composers Prokofiev, Galzanov and Shoshakovich violin concertos; Disc 20 - Spanish guitar concertos of Rodrigo, Sor, Granados, Albeniz and de Falla.

Customer Reviews:
Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04
This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!
Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12
This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!
Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20
Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!
Frank's view.......2006-08-19
This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.
Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08
I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.
The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!
I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.
The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

beauty sleep.......2007-05-30
This music is perfect for bed time.
Beautiful classic music that lulls you to sleep.
Baroque Music: A Prelude To Sleep.......2004-05-30
This album is from the popular series "Set Your Life To Music"
series. The theme for this one is "Baroque For Beauty Sleep" which seems to be a companion to "Baroque For Bathtime". Baroque music, especially the slower movements in many concertos, are exquisite nocturnal pieces that ease the transition from being awake to falling asleep. The beautiful, elegant, slow, graceful music of many of these pieces will definately relax you and even help you fall asleep. It's therapeutic. There are so many reasons one can buy this album. It can help you relax and soothe you, as already mentioned, and it can be played in the background of a message therapy session. It can serve as music for a romantic evening or dinner. And lastly, it hits the spot after a long day and you're ready to visit the world of dreams.
Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances, scored for lute and other Baroque period instruments, is the newest piece on the album. Respighi, a modern composer, was delving into neoclassic music and deliberately evoking the Baroque Era. It works wonderfully.
Naturally, no Baroque album is complete without Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Here is the Largo from "Winter" only it is played on panpipes by the New Age artist Zamfir. The sound is hauntingly beautiful. There is a sonata for flute and harp by Bach, the biggest name in the period and Vivaldi's "L'Estro Armonico" as well as Telemann's Suite in A for Recorder. One particular piece I enjoy and think you will too is the melodic and elegant Concerto Grosso No. 12 by Handel, the slow movement Larghetto E Piano. It is sheer tonal beauty. There is more concertos by Vivaldi, whose use of the flute is always very reflective and dreamy and even a solo aria from a motet of his, the soprano Elly Ameling sings "Nulla In Mundo Pax", a lyrical-coloratura showcase which crowns and concludes this gorgeous album.
Baroque to Comfort and Sleep By.......2004-02-16
Baroque is such a wide and wonderful musical discovery for us modern types. It is soothing and quieting to the soul, and in this case for the body as well.
Whether used as lullaby inducing or just listening pleasure and relaxation, this is nice collection. Including wide array of instruments: strings, flute, panpipes, oboe, flute, harp, guitar, recorder, piano, and voice --- this is truly enjoyable.
There is wide array of baroque composers as well --- Rephighi, Vivaldi, Bach, Albinoini, Telemann, and more.
Great price, great variety, great addition to your CD collection.
Guys! Don't be put-off by the cover art!.......2002-03-20
I commend the compilers for creating such a wonderful CD. The music is quite mellow, especially the pieces that are preformed by Zamfir, the famous panpipist. That whimsical woodwind gives a rustic, almost mythical feel the piece of music. You almost feel like you are in Arcadia awaiting a lecture by Chiron!
There is a good cross sampling of various Baroque pieces and Baroque artists. The variety is the spice that makes this CD worth buying and listening to over and over again. This CD also works well on shuffle, which remakes it into a brand new album.
There are a lot of oboes and string on this disc, and being a former oboist, I am electrified as I hear that instruments mellow honk!
Guys! Don't be put off by the cover-this is a good disc. Good for the mind, heart, and soul!
Mellow, but not sleepy.......2002-02-02
I don't know how to sum this one up. It is mellow, but you can't meditate to it. It's more upbeat than I would normally prefer to sleep to, but it works all the same. The music is performed so beautifully that I almost want to stay up and listen.
This CD is also good for reading to, because it is easy on the ears but won't put you to sleep.

The Pachelbel Canon.......2005-07-26
First, let me state that I've only heard this version of the Pachelbel Canon. I overheard a co-worker playing it at her desk and decided that I wanted a copy, too! I've not regretted it! It is one powerful "mellowing" agent for me! Excellent playing, the sound is "decent." I usually give four stars if the sound is not the best, but this group deserves it! Five stars!
My favorite classical/baroque cd.......2003-12-18
I original grew up on baroque and classical music as a child because my parents were/are big fans of the music. Over the years, my tastes branched out into rock and roll and other genres of music but I always seem to come back to baroque and classical music. Over the years I have bought a quite a few classical cds. Some were good and some were mediocre. "Pachelbel Canon, Albinoni Adagio and Other Baroque Melodies" is by far my favorite of all the baroque/classical cds I have bought over the years. I was first given the cassette version in my freshman year in college by my parents. I eventually bought the cd version a couple of years ago. Pachelbel's "Canon" is definitely my all time favorite baroque song. The version on this album is by far my favorite arrangement. I still get the chills every time I listen to the song. I can truly never get sick and tired of listening to "Canon". When I first listened to this album, it was the first time I heard Albinoni's "Adagio". It is truly one of the most beautiful pieces in baroque history. Just like "Canon", I love the arrangements for Bach's "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" and"Wachet auf". The arrangements for those two songs simply takes my breath away. I have listened to countless different arrangements of those two songs but none have come close to the versions I have heard on this album. I may not be a classical/baroque afficienado but I certianly know what I like and I like what I heard on this album.
WARNING!! A great cd BUT...........2001-03-10
I know I gave this cd 5 stars; it deserves it. Every piece is so finely textured and lush. BUT the version of the Canon on this cd, as beautiful as it is, IS NOT the original version recorded by Paillard. This cd contains a new version which has been slightly re-arranged and speeded up a bit. The version on this cd is a minute shorter than the original which can be found on the ERATO cd, "PACHELBEL CANON/ FASCH/CONCERTO". Definitely buy the Erato cd first--this contains the "must-have" rendition of the Canon. But, of course, after you buy that one, you will probably want to buy this one as well. I have yet to hear any piece of music done by Jean-Francois Paillard that I have not loved.
least favorite arrangement of my "most favorite" piece.......2000-12-27
I LOVE pachalbel canon. I have several different arrangements. However I was dissapointed by this arrangement and by the accompanying baroque compositions on this CD. For those who have never heard the canon, or have only heard this arrangement -- you will still love it. It is, after all, an incredible piece of music. However, try another CD for an even more moving rendition.
Canon is over 100 stars!!.......2000-12-21
The version on this album of 'Canon In D' just BLEW ME AWAY when I first was spellbound by it at the end of 'Ordinary People' movie. It literally affected and changed my life forever....it has and STILL gives me hours and hours,years and years of happiness. This song has played for SO many events in my life. Happy,Sad,Painful,!!!! I've written poems to and about this song trying to articulate the itensity of it. I've choreographed and performed ballet dances to it. I've 'picked out by ear' the ENTIRE song on the piano and can play it on nearly every single instrument I pick up, even if I can't play that instument,it doesn't matter. That song had to have been written by God Himself for the Angels of Heaven. Pachabel must've eavesdropped,wrote it down and it enchants any symphony,every instrument that plays it.This version of Canon especially, is an ethereal gift of gold for our souls to experience on earth.It is sublime in the purest rawest sense. It is pure magical musical glitter......It will touch you and you will melt. It speaks directly to the deepest part of you. Listen to it LOUD on a good stereo system and lie down on the floor with only candlelight around you. Light incense,close your eyes, and I DARE you not to cry by the end of it.

James Galway plays baroque music's greatest hits for flute........1999-05-31
Flute players and flute lovers everywhere will enjoy this collection of Galway recordings from the Baroque era. Besides the title cut, selections from the Telemann "Suite in a minor" will be appreciated by flute teachers and performers, as well as other works transcribed for flute. The Albnioni "Adagio" is particularly haunting and could be a new addition to the repertoire. Handel's "Queen of Sheba" is also nicely done. A good recording to have on hand for those performers wishing to "demonstrate" various works for perspective clients as well.
