Mill. Classical review.......2007-05-13

This is a great set of recordings for the money, the only problem was I've had to clean some of the CD's before they played correctly.

classical music for the unitiated.......2007-04-01

This set is a good way to start listening to classical music. It's very well produced and easy to listen to. I purchased it to use as part of my world history high school class. It would have been nice to have some bio information on the composers. However, the product is exactly as advertised and good value for the money. The students were intrigued by how many of the excerpts they had heard before.

Some little gems there that I had forgotten!.......2007-03-30

Although I studied classical music at school, I had all but forgotten it until I bought this set. I heard several tracks I haven't heard for over 30 years, and I had been humming Brahms's 'Hungarian Dance no. 5' for years without ever knowing what it was and it was on the disc, so that was nice.

I found it to be a very good selection overall, but I felt too much had already been heard on TV, which of course is what lots of newcomers to classical music might appreciate. I managed to find about 2 hours of tracks that I wanted to keep, which works out quite expensive per disc, but I did find some wonderful music I had completely forgotten about, so it was worth it. All in all, it represents good value, and I have only knocked one star off as so much of it had been used in adverts.

It is definitely a good introduction to classical music, and it has made me want to listen to more of it, so I don't regret this 'expensive' purchase one bit!

Classical Masterpieces of the Millennium [20 CD Set]

A very helpful collection.......2007-03-24

I define this set as an excellent way to find out who you like, and who you don't, among 20 of the important composers. It opens the door to purchasing more complete pieces by composers you do like, and can save a lot of time and money in the process.
To criticize the set for not containing more composers, or more than just snippets of those who are in the set, is missing the point: it is a helpful introduction to finding your way in the huge maze of classical music. It succeeds admirably in this.
Sound quality is uniformly very good on an audiophile system.
Highly recommended.

Excellent!.......2007-03-08

A great way to start a classical music collection. It's nice to have a full CD of each composer. It makes it easy to keep track of selections/composers I already have and what composers I still need to puchase to complete my collection.

Customer Reviews:

Great Reference CD!.......2006-01-09

This is a great compilation, CD, along with Bride's Guide to Wedding Music Volume I, to use as a reference for some of the more popular wedding songs, such as Trumpet Voluntary, Vivaldi's Spring from the Four Seasons, Trumpet Tune and Canon, i.e. Pachelbel's Canon. All of the musicians are generally superb, and the sound quality is very good. However, this is most useful if you are playing the CD at your wedding, or using it as a reference CD to talk over with an organist, a string quartet, etc. I only gave it four stars based on practicality, not on quality. If it were just quality, I would give it five stars. I purchased this CD since I am in the process of making my own wedding CD (I am a professional, freelance violinist), and this was nice to listen to, even just as background music for dinner.

Interesting musical selections, but ..........2005-01-06

As the other reviewer noted, one doesn't have to be getting married to enjoy this CD...and the musical selections are certainly interesting, even eclectic. I have to wonder, however, who picked these out with what criteria since at least a couple of these melodies are not traditional wedding tunes. By this I mean the lovely arrangement of Michael Praetorius' "In Dulci Jubilo." In his home country of Germany, where I used to live until a couple of years ago, this is a Christmas carol, sung at Christmas Eve services throughout the land. The lyrics aren't especially suited to any sort of wedding, really. Unless you're marrying in December, I personally would steer clear of this song. And if the wedding's in June and you have European guests, don't be surprised if eyebrows are raised when this melody is played!

A Nice Wedding Compilation.......2001-07-24

This album provides you with some good reference materials on planning the music for your wedding. Many of us may sit around wondering what on earth "Tempo di Mineutto" is. Well, with this album you will wonder no more. This is a pretty good compilation of some wedding favorites set in order that they would appear in your ceremony (prelude, processional, ceremony and recessional). Even if you aren't planning a wedding, this album provides you with some really good classical music to relax by. At a good discount, this CD is a nice addition to any collection. I would recommend this disc.

BEST CANTATA 51 SO FAR.......2006-09-30

Malin Hartelius is not as famous as she should be. In a culture that rates singers more by power, singers with exceptional technique and expressive capabilities tend to have a slower acceptance. I discovered her on DVD where she displays acting ability that is also exceptional.
Trumpeter Niklas Eklund in the first and final movements of Cantata 51 is equally great.

Gardiner has a unique ability to choose just the right soloists for all his recordings. This 2000 pilgrimage is no exception. I am a choral singer of the amateur type and use his recordings as a reference for style, as well as enjoyment. Being picked for Cantata 51 is possibly one the best endorsements Hartelius can get.

The singing in all the cantatas on this two CD set is top notch.

I have never before been a fan of the male alto or countertenor voice but this CD and the Alles Mit Gott CD from Gardiner changed my thinking instantly.

The sound quality is superb, especially considering the time constraints the singers and engineers had to work with, in new venues every week. This is quite possibly the most important recording project of all time. The cost of buying the whole series is beyond my means, but I certainly will continue to pick up a few more here and there.

Cantatas on Set by BWV # and name........2005-12-11

This is not really a review but a helpful tool for potential buyers. Listed below are the BWV numbers as well as names of the cantatas contained on this set (since amazon.com only lists by name and not the necessary BWV#).

It is hard to be disappointed by Gardiner's craftsmanship. While some think his tempi on some cantatas to be distasteful, it provides a different approach than other conductors and Bach fellows.

Cantatas on this set:

Liebster Gott, wenn werd' ich sterben?, BWV 8

Wer weiss, wie nahe mir mein Ende, BWV 27

Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen, BWV 51 (SIDE NOTE: Reviewer's All-time favourite Bach Cantata)

Christus, der ist mein Leben, BWV 95

GLORIOUS BACH CONTINUES.......2005-11-22

This compilation of the Cantatas by J.S. Bach is the second installment of Gardiner's pilgrimage of Bach's Cantatas although in actuality it's numbered Volume 8. As I stated in my review of Volume One of this pilgrimage, I'm enthralled in every way with these recordings. Although, I have a dislike of the countertenor voice, the ones used in this recording are marvelous and easy on the ear. (You "authentic performance" militia can prosecute me. But I DON'T usually enjoy the countertenor voice.) Fortunately (for me), treble unchanged boy's voices are NOT used and the soprano(s) that are used are wonderful delivering their solos beautifully. In fact the featured soloists are all wonderful as is the chorus and orchestra. Gardiner is simply stupendous in his leadership of these works.
Although I've vowed not to get launched on yet another Bach Cantata series, I'm afraid that I'm so besotted by these Gardiner's recordings of Bach's Cantatas that I am indeed launched once again. This series continues to delight in every way!

Volume 8.......2005-10-21

This is actually volume 8 of Gardiner's series of recordings of all of Bach's church cantata's made between Christmas, 1999 and Christmas, 2000. The current Amazon title for the CD doesn't make that clear.

The recording speaks for itself.

IT'S THE CHRISTMAS SEASON WITH J.S.......2006-03-20

In this 5th installment (Actually Volume 14) of the Gardiner Bach Pilgrimage, it is the Christmas Season to be celebrated with Johann. In this 1-disc installment, we hear cantatas written by J.S. Bach for Christmas time. These Cantatas have always been out-performed by the "Christmas Oratorio".. What's the reason for that, I will never know. The cantatas contained in Volume 14 find dear Johann at his very BEST; they are filled with hope, joy (dare I say) and bounce reflective of the season. All of the aforesaid descriptions are very evident especially in the cantata "Unser Mund sei voll Lachens" BWV 110. As I've noted profusely in my previous reviews, on this board, of the other four installments, I find this enterprise of Gardiner to be outstanding in every way. He along with the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque soloist perform Bach's cantatas gloriously. Volume 14 is no exception; it contains some beautiful music. This volume was recorded in New York and all of the participants perform magnificently! The Tenor and Bass have the most solos to perform and they are astounding.

Once again, James Gilchrist, the tenor is astounding-listen to his arias in Tracts 3, 8 and 22-wow! Peter Harvey, the bass is very good also-listen to tracts 10 and 16-they are wonderful! The sopranos, Katharine Fuge and Joanne Lunn singing their duets with the tenor and alto beautifully-those duets are simply fantastic. Just in case you've read my reviews of the other releases in this series, I am still very much enjoying countertenors Robin Tyson and William Towers-they are really very good. In fact, I loved this release!

Although, I listened to this recording about three months after the holidays, it succeeded in putting me in a rather festive mood. If you want to hear some J.S. Bach in his substantial glory, buy this album of his Cantatas. (do read the previous reviewer's magnificent summary of the contents pf Volume14.) By the way, the New York audiance must have been very healthy too; I heard not one sneeze or cough out of them--in the dead of winter too--i wonder what's their secret?

Cantatas on disc by BWV # & name........2006-01-12

This is not a review but merely a helper for potential buyers whom recognize Bach's cantatas by BWV # with the name. This disc (the first issue of a single disc) is the continuation of Gardiner's "Bach Cantata Pilgrimage." The CD is produced with utmost quality in sound, however it is packaged in an awkward cardboard case.

The cantatas on this set by BWV # and Name:

BWV 91, Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ

BWV 121, Christum wir sollen loben schon

BWV 40, Dazu ist erschienen der Sohn Gottes

BWV 110, Unser Mund sei voll Lachens

Album Description

The latest volume in the acclaimed re-packaging of the complete Bach Cantata series on Challenge Classics, which has now reached Vol. 18! Ton Koopman and his choir and orchestra continue to uphold a standard of tremendous vividness and joy in their immaculate performances of Bach's most impressive opus. The acclaimed series of complete Bach cantatas with The Amsterdam Baroque conducted by Ton Koopman, originally begun on the now-defunct Erato label, has been revived by Challenge Classics. Born in Zwolle, Holland, in 1944, Ton Koopman decided very early in his musical studies to specialize in the 17th and 18th centuries, using authentic instruments combined with a performing style based on sound scholarship. Koopman's extensive activities as a soloist and conductor have been recorded on a large number of LPs and CDs for labels including Erato, Teldec, Philips and Deutsche Grammophon. The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, founded in 1979 by Ton Koopman, are a group of musicians from all over the world with a particular passion for the Baroque. Their recordings have won numerous awards. Founded in 1992, the Amsterdam Baroque Choir consists mainly of young Dutch professional singers. Begun in 1994, this series was called "the recording project of the nineties" by The Guardian, and was awarded the 1997 Deutsche Schallplattenpreis "Echo Klassik" in Germany. The series will continue to feature the scholarly contributions of Professor Christoph Wolff, one of the world's leading experts on the music of Bach.

Pure Perfection .......2006-09-25

Words cannot express how much I adore these two discs, but here goes anyway. A friend gave me a burned copy 'Love Songs' which I lost and so I purchased this double disc set. Arleen is by far and away my favorite soprano of all time and if you end up owning these cd's, I have no doubt she will become yours as well. Arleen had the most gorgeous voice, a pure yet colorful tone. And her technique as demonstrated on these recordings was superb. If you are a singer as am I, you will not be able to ignore her phrasing on The Salley Gardens - it's truy astonishing. If you are in to doing side by side comparison, try listening to Arleen's version of O Del Mio Amato Ben, then listen to Sumi Jo's version. But be forewarned if you're a Sumi Jo fan, you won't be able to listen to her version ever again. Arleen wrings every bit of naked emotion out of that song without ever being cheesy or over the top. Her musical instinct and interpretation was as flawless as her voice and technique. I use these cd's as my personal master classes with an impeccable artist who was taken from us all much too soon.

Had a Freudian moment.......2005-08-12

Be it known, I had no intention of writing a review of this recording. I still do not in fact. But I listened to the late Ms. Auger's reading of 'Lascia chio pianga' and nearly seized (cigarette in hand and all.) I've yet to move beyond track five. That being documented, I implore both the fastidious collector of vocal music and the layman alike to purchase this set. Oh, and about the Freud...following the aforementioned revelatory aural sensation of some five minutes, I typed amazing.com in place of the amazon.com destination. "Behind every mishap in speech, writing, etc. there lies an unconcious motive..."
Well,

No Villa-Lobos.......2003-05-28

Since I purchased this album specifically for the recording of the Villa-Lobos, I am extremely disappointed that it was replaced by "He Shall Feed His Flock." She sings everything beautifully, but it is not the recording it pretends to be.

Be warned!.......2003-05-03

My copy did not have the works by Heitor Villa-Lobos. The first disk in the set is Delos 3026, "Bach, Handel: Arias," which includes two selections from Alexander's Feast and "He Shall Feed His Flock" from the Messiah. I am not disappointed. Ms. Auger sings wonderfully. My second disk is Delos 3029 "Love Songs," which makes it a good bargain. But there are no texts.

Unforgettable.......2002-05-16

After much auditioning and re-auditioning, Auger's "Rejoice" here has finally replaced Kathleen Battle's fine performance on "Grace" as my favorite.

Both singers are at their best in the repeat, where their technique and ornamentation will knock anyone's socks off. But where Battle does a musical and brilliant concerto-like display of Kathleen Battle, Auger instead serves Handel with overriding sincerity. She builds intensity to an incredible pitch, ending on an almost trumpet-like flourish to announce the coming of the King.

A marvelous gift on CD.......2005-09-10

This review applies to Cantate 57607, 57608, and 57609. I have loved these recordings since I purchased them back in the sixties on LP as a four disc set, Nonesuch HD 73015. I wore that copy out and much later found an unworn copy in a used record dealer's stock, and purchased that.

Choral music was always problematic on LP because of the distortion that so often occurs on the inner grooves. I have wished for years that someone would reissue these recordings on CD, and finally it has occured--the date in the notes indicate it might have happened 10 years ago, in 1995, but surely I've searched since then and could not find them!

This is a unique collection combining the Chorale Preludes of Bach's "Little Organ Book" with choral settings of the original Lutheran hymns, which were set by various composers. The organ performances seem thoroughly satisfactory to me, and the choral settings, whose texts brim with piety, are splendid especially when juxtaposed with the preludes.

Of all the pieces on these disks, I'm most enraptured by the last cut on the first disk #57607, "In dir ist Freude". This radiant hymn is set against a magisterial prelude that is reminiscent of Bach's large-scale organ preludes/fugues.

When I saw that these recordings were available on CD, I sat down at my desk and cried for joy.

Customer Reviews:

a voice teacher early music fan.......2005-12-21

The 4 cantatas performed on this disc were all composed in 1707-08,when Bach was in the first flush of youth, in his early 20's. He was writing cantatas for every Sunday service and at the same time was organist and choirmaster at a church in Muhlhausen. In Bach's day the 4 soloists would have been members of the small chorus; in this recorded performance the soloists serve, together, as the chorus. In the end, we have to say that Bach wrote his most sublime music for the church; but most important, his writings have a spiritual power, a solid strength and sincerity that cannot be traced to technique, but to the inspiration of pure genius. And the 4 soloists on this disc bring out very clearly his greatness!!!!There are quartets, duets, trios and solos all accompanied expertly by the Purcell Quartet. In addition we have recorders, oboe and bassoon to add to the overall instrumental "color". Some of the high points for me: "In deine Hande.." Michael Chance (countertenor solo);"Den Tod....." Emma Kirkby & Chance duet. It's all great music and a must if you are an Early Music fan!

A beautiful tribute to the masterwork of Sacred Music.......2004-11-29

It goes without saying that Bach's Cantatas are among the classics of western music. No one with the possible exception of Palestrina, captured the power of faith in his music better. That said, these performances of several of Bachs' cantatas are very well done, profoundly emotional and deeply stirring. director Koopman captures bach's intentions well in this volume, which serves to show his proficiency as a conductor and his empathy as a musician.
Although these collected cantatas are by no means my favorite ( i personally prefer Gott ist mein Konig and Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme) these are a valuable addition to any fan of baroque or sacred music.

Out of the ashes.......2003-07-19

One can only hope that even those who fault Koopman for what they tend to call his "studied" interpretations cannot fault him for his commitment! When Warner/Erato pulled the plug on this series, with this recording (vol. 13) already in the can, Koopman started his own label (well, sub-label, actually) to continue it. Better, he declares that he will now release three volumes a year rather than two, as Warner did.

A Great Recording of one of the Greats.......2005-09-10

In an age where flawless new digital recordings reign supreme, historical gems like this sometimes fall into the cracks. Here we have Primrose, arguably the greatest violist of the 20th century, playing some of the most sensuous and lyrical music for the instrument. True history buffs will enjoy the latter portion of the CD, in which Primrose's arrangement style is presented in order from simple chordal accompaniment to the full orchestral score. The Sinfonie Concertante and Liebesleid recordings surpass the quality of previously released albums and fun tunes like "Perpetuum Mobile" and "Jamaican Rumba" round out the list. A truly wonderful collection.
