5 out of 5 stars All the best.......2005-01-29

This splendid collection of Rachmaninov is a must-have for fans of classical. Wonderful for quiet evenings at home, the background for romantic dinners, or just to enjoy on the drive to work. It's called "Classical Music" for a good reason.

5 out of 5 stars Truly essential.......2004-02-22

You can see the track listing above, so you can decide for yourself if what you want it on it. I bought it mainly for the second piano concerto so I'll only review that part thoroughly.

I spent a while looking for a good Rachmaninov CD. My main objective was to find a nice version of Piano Concerto No. 2, and I can safely say mission accomplished.

Vladimir Ashkenazy does a good job with the solo piano and it moves at a pace to which I am accustomed. (Is it wrong to not like the composer's intentions? :) ) I actually prefer a performance with the London Philharmonic from the 70s slightly more than this, but all the recordings of that have a prominent hiss.

That brings me to the audio quality. Its Much better than most Rachmaninoff CDs I have found, as it has been digitally remastered. But I was a little dissapointed when playing it on my dad's audio-phile surround sound system. I felt like I was being fed the music in one lump instead of a weave of the different tones and timbres. But that's no reason not to buy it; it still sounds great on my stereo, my car stereo, and my computer speakers (I have good computer speakers) I may have been expecting too much from my dad's audio system.

In conclusion, this two disc set has nearly everything else you would want from Rachmaninoff. (They don't call it essential for nothing) There is no background hiss or hum, and the choice of performances is excellent.

      5 out of 5 stars Vocal Drama.......2006-11-06

      The beautiful voice of Barbara Hendricks and these outstanding Sacred Songs make a great combination. I bought this CD about a decade ago and am still entraced by Mendelssohn's dramatic "Hear My Prayer" and Bernstein's powerful "Kaddish." "Hear My Prayer" is based upon Psalm 55, the very same psalm that Merton Densher quotes in Henry James' The Wings of the Dove (and thus gives the book its title).

      Barbara Hendricks is not only a great singer, but quite the actress. "Hear My Prayer" reminds me a mini-vocal drama not unlike Mahler's song cycles and choral symphonies. You feel the soprano's urgency as she sings about her confusion ("perplexed and bewildered...") her despair, "my heart is sorely pained, my soul with deathly terror is oppressed, trembling and fearfulness upon me fall, with horror overwhelmed..."), her supplication ("Thyself from my petition do not hide...O God hear my prayer") and her hope for resolution/escape, ("O for the wings of a dove, far away would I rove...in the wilderness build me a nest and remain there forever at rest"). Several states of mind and mood are explored within one 11-minute song. It takes quite the singing actress to pull this off, and Barbara Hendricks gives an exquisite rendition. The organ and chorus support this intense performance. (How I envy Hendrick's vocal control and skillful tapering of dynamics! In my next life, I will beg God to give me a voice like this! :-)

      The Bernstein "Kaddish 2" is just as remarkable in its emotional intensity. In Jewish culture, a Kaddish is a prayer recited by mourners after the death of a close relative.

      This CD features many popular sacred songs including Schubert's "Ave Maria," Bach/Gounod's "Ave Maria," and Franck's "Panis Angelicus." "Amazing Grace," one of the the world's most popular sacred songs, is also on this album. This song will always have a special place in my heart. I learned about the song's history while listening to an audiobook by Wayne Dyer ("There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem"), and I always get choked up whenever I repeat the story. The song's composer was on a slave ship bound for the Americas when it suddenly occurred to him how wrong he and the other men were to participate in slave trading--he clearly saw that the slaves were in fact equal human beings with rights and feelings, and that this was an unacceptable way to treat them. He completely regretted what he had been doing and penned the lyrics to this beautiful song. I also learned from listening to Wayne Dyer that Eastern religions call instant enlightenment "satori." It seems that the creator of one of the world's most beautiful sacred songs experienced a type of satori that we can all benefit from.

            5 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful CD -- double set actually .......2004-12-23

            Lots and lots of beautiful music, mostly choral. Great selection (interesting choices), all well done. If you like your Christmas music on the classical side, I think you'll like this. By interesting choices, I mean Kiri Te Kanawa singing White Christmas, or the Winchester Cathedral Choir doing an Andrew Lloyd Webber piece (Hosanna in Excelsis). Kings College Choir, Cambridge does several classic Christmas carols (First Nowell, the Holly and the Ivy). I think these CDs are going to get a lot of play. Each CD has 21 tracks, and none are "stinkers."

              Album Description

              After many requests for "the classics", Kitty Cleveland has finally released a CD that fits the bill: “Sacred Arias.” This new album has many favorites of the classical Christian repetoire, including the Schubert and Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria"; Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and "Bist du bei mir"; "Ave Verum Corpus" by Mozart; Franck's "Panis Angelicus"; "The Lord's Prayer" by Malotte; Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu", and several others.

              In this popular new collection, Ms. Cleveland beautifully showcases her classical training and musicianship with her rich, lyrical voice. After debuting the album on EWTN's Life on the Rock Christmas Special in December 2001, she has received numerous orders for the album and requests for concert information. Accompanied by the lush instrumentation of Mel Rogers (which adds harp, string quartet, piano, trumpet, oboe, English horn, flute, organ and harpsichord to the mix), “Sacred Arias” will be a welcome and cherished addition to any lover of the classic Christian repertoire and the angelic vocals of Kitty Cleveland.

              5 out of 5 stars Beautiful, inspirational music.......2002-11-08

              Kitty Cleveland has a beautiful voice and uses it in a very inspirational way. Lovely CD, beautiful and inspiring.

              5 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!.......2002-07-08

              I'm not a huge Charlotte Church fan, but she's the closest thing I can think of to describe the angelic vocals of Kitty Cleveland. Josh Groban, who's hitting it big on the charts right now, shares a similar sound and style to Kitty's--but she's still my favorite! I especially love her version of "Pie Jesu" by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The harp is so beautiful on that one, and the rest of the orchestra is also lush and sweet on the bigger numbers (like the "Ave Maria"-both of them-and "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring").

              I listen to this CD all the time, and I highly recommend it to anyone who uses music to put them at peace. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
