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:

Sensuality Personified!.......2005-04-27

This is one of the best collections of Regine Crespin. Of course, her Berlioz/Ravel set with Ansermet is definitive, but the beauty and soft womanliness of her voice can be heard in all the selections on this disc. The engineers went for her vocal best and they created a fine collection aptly titled "The Best of..." One would be unduly captious to find Crespin "brittle" of tone here.

It is by now, very difficult to imagine anyone singing "Il est doux" with more apt expression of the line than La Crespin. Wagner's Wesendonk lieder is simply sublime from start to finish and the Faure takes on new meaning. That she is comical, melancholy, fun and happy by turns singles her out. This collection captures all her awesome talent. Underneath it all seems to be a very, if I may, sexual energy.

Crespin must be heard to be believed and the miracle lies in that even her softest tones are really enveloping, never thin. All tones are open and this is why there are enough colors in Regine Crespin's delicious voice to paint the world a thousand times, but it may also be why she infamous for being short and edgy on top but I remind, never here is she such. She is a relaxed singer in superb voice, comfortable in her own olive skin and makes the most out of every word those poets wrote.

The whole collection is unique in pace, style, and voice. It is Regine Crespin...in a nutshell fabulous!

As with their first collection of label highlights, Hyperion's new two-disc collection provides a broad sampling of their exceptional catalogue and performers. Particularly rewarding are the selections from Beethoven (Scherzo from String Trio in C minor, op 9 no 3, performed by the Leopold Trio) and Thomas Tallis (Salvator mundi I, performed by the Winchester Cathedral Choir), but experienced and novice listeners alike will find much to enjoy on these discs. It's also a good value--more than 2 1/2 hours of music for less than $10.

When it comes to song writing, Ernest Chausson has long stood in the shadows of Debussy, Duparc, Fauré, and Ravel, but his gentle and self-effacing songs go so much further than the merely charming. To have the complete collection gathered on disc is a treat, and with artists like these, the performances are about as good as you could expect this side of the pearly gates. Ann Murray and Felicity Lott need no introduction for their celestial singing of this repertoire. The American baritone Chris Pedro Trakas is less well-known, but he comes with a clutch of top prizes and, more to the point, a beautifully sensitive voice, which he uses to great effect here.

Underpinning everything is accompanist Graham Johnson, whose playing is always just so right, whatever area of the song repertoire he takes on, and who provides (uncredited) a must-read essay on Chausson that really engages with the music. Soprano Geraldine McGreevy is a welcome addition in two duets, as is the Chilingirian Quartet, accompanying Ann Murray in the final number, "Chanson perpétuelle." If a reason for a reassessment of Chausson's role as a writer of mélodie is needed, this marvelous set is overwhelmingly it. --Keith Clarke

a spectacular record.......2003-10-10

Truly a great recording - sung by outstanding artists, especially Felicity Lott, and accompanied by Graham Johnson in his best form..... The music is truly glorious and the recording is a revelation with many beautiful nuances. A total joy!!!

Fascinating rep, rancid singing.......2003-06-10

I picked this CD up because I love the melodie in general and Chausson in particular. What a pity that the performances can't hold a candle to the composer's inspiration. Felicity Lott is her usual shrill self, Ann Murray is even more wobbly and out-of-line than usual, Chris Trakas has no lower range and a pinched top, and Geraldine McGreevy sings as if she had a beautiful voice, which she most emphatically does not. All of these artists are woefully out of tune, which sits particularly unpleasantly on the ear in the chromatic universe of Chausson. As for Graham Johnson, the less said the better. There are those who think he is a fine accompanist and pianist. Fine. Let them think so. They must be deaf or have short memories. If one wants to hear great performances of French rep, turn to young Souzay, with Jacqueline Bonneau on a deleted Decca CD. This is rarified music, but these people have not the technique to do it justice.

The American Fischer-Dieskau takes a risk, and wins.......2006-07-17

This CD is out of print, and that's no surprise: songs by Berlioz, Wanger, and Liszt are known only to conoissuers. Hampson happens to be that and more. His crusade to bring every variety of classic song to the public parallels Fischer-Dieskau's efforts a generation ago. Like his illustrious predecessor Hampson is a master of many styles, an impeccable technician, and an innatley intelligent artist. One can neer lose by buying his riskier recitals.

This is one of the most difficult to appreciate, I think, becasue except for a melodie or two by Verlioz, nothing here is familiar. The Wanger songs avoid the well-known Wessendonck lieder in favor of light and slight early songs, three of them in French (!) and all so charming the name of Wanger would never occur to an innocent listener.

The heart of the recital are te Liszt songs. Rarely heard in the concert hall (if ever), Liszt's lieder output is very impressive, which is why artists as diverse as Barbara Bonney and Thomas Quasthoff have given us collections like this one. Hampson ofers 12 from a broad span of the composer's long life, and they span many emotions, from the tender to the boldly declamatory. Only the last, "Oh, quand je dors," is likely to be familiar. There is such art in the singing, and in Geoffrey Parsons' accompaniments, that every song here, with the exception of the Berlioz, sounds completely masterful (I don't find that Hampson has the real chanson style).

Since this superb CD sells for pennies on the used market, it's very much worth anyone's time and attention. You'll hear a great singer at the peak of his powers.

Truly, romantically worth it.......2004-07-09

I love Romantic music, poetry and painting. The Lieder sung here by Thomas Hampson have all 3: obviously the music and the poetry, which are wonderful, and the painting is given by Mr Hampson's voice. A more romantic voice I cannot imagine. I listen to it constantly...

romantic indeedý.......1999-09-01

... are the selections presented here. Thomas Hampson's voice appears to have an ideal weight for these intimate delicate songs, his thoughtful detailed reading of them is delightful. Purchasing this CD, I expected a collection of lesser-known lieder, but found instead German and French alternatives to Italian "salon songs" of Bellini, late Rossini, or Donizetti, although written later and most carrying a strong sense of German romanticism, found in the poetry of Goethe, Heine, or Uhland, as well as in the fiction works of E.T.A. Hoffman and his contemporaries. Hugo's stirring verse found its way thrice to this CD.

Hampson's finely crafted presentations remind the listener of Fischer-Dieskau, if missing some the latter's celebrated smoothness of tone. It's hard to believe "Mignonne" was written by Wagner! Most likely, it was one of composer's controversial experiments with French style, and we are lucky to hear it survive the test of time and Wagner "purists". (I do prefer Rienzi to Siegfried, any day though, thus it's a biased opinion, right?) To my great surprise, Liszt's songs vary - some are exciting and melodic ("Go not Happy Day" or "a Tombe et la Rose"), others are more like recitatifs, sung very quietly, with recurring dreamy melancholic quality to them, but with none of Schubert's poignancy or Mahler's edginess.

There is a great deal of harmony between the singer and Geoffrey Parsons' piano. Like Jorg Demus or John Wustman, Parsons does not forcibly take the center stage, yet his accompaniment is always ideally timed and he often engages in sparkling dialogue with the singer (listen to Les deux Grenadiers!)

Customer Reviews:

One of the great French recordings of the century.......1999-02-28

Knowing many of these recordings from the vinyl issue, I rejoice in being able to get them re-mastered. Bernac was not only Poulenc's great interpreter, but a definitive interpreter of other French art songs (and Souzay's teacher).
