1.Vivaldi: The Four Seasons from: SONY CLASSICS September 02, 2008

How a Bloomington, Indiana musician successfully managed to interpret a baroque masterpiece by Italian Composer Vivaldi is amazing. Partly because Bell uses a Violin better known to the Baroque era; The Stradivarious. Thanks also go to London's acclaimed "Academy of St. Martin in The Fields", (a chamber orchestra specializing in Baroque era music) of which Bell felt very comfortable playing with. Most of all Joshua Bell is not only a great musician, but a hard working determined student of the baroque era. He puts his stamp on one of the most interpreted musical pieces of all time. The sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

This is a beautiful recording, Simone Dinnerstein's renderings of the Bach French Suite and the Opus 111 of Beethoven are altogether perfect, with fine musical judgment and finesse. To point out just one track, the Gavotte of the French Suite was delightfully cheery, remaining adult while fleetly avoiding the trap of "cuteness". My only doubt in pre-ordering this CD was whether the contemporary Variations by Philip Lasser would stand up in such august company. I'm glad to report that the Lasser made me happy; it is musical and skillful in its echoes of Bach and impressionism both. I am pleased to have this recording join Dinnerstein's Goldberg Variations on my music shelf.

This may not be the greatest music, but the orchestra sounds terrific. Most important, under the wunderkind Dudamel, the players convey a joyful sense of engagement and appropriately controlled abandon. A real winner!

In the August 2008 BBC Music Magazine, George Hall gave this disc four out of five stars. He didn't like some of Lorraine's fast passage work and found that conductor Craig Smith lacked impetus. Hmm. Not me. These are magically relaxed performances where soloist and chamber orchestra are almost literally singing to and with each other. There's something special going on here. And Lorraine Hunt Lieberson sounds completely in control of what she's doing. I don't think you'll be disappointed. If only there had been more.

5.Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music, Fifth Edition, Volume 1: Ancient to Baroque (6 CDs) from: W. W. Norton January 01, 2006

The CDs in this set are not packaged in standard jewelboxes nor even in cheap sleeves, but are mounted directly atop a printed surface. As a result, when I purchased the set from my school bookstore, I found that several of the CDs had dried flecks of ink on the data side that made it impossible to play or rip certain tracks. Beware.

This CD is brand new and -- YAY -- didn't arrive with cracks in the case! Very happy with this purchase.

This CD was everthing I expeced. It contained the entire (16.26 minute) version of Rhapsody in Blue and brings back some wonderful memories from my high school days and music appreciation classes.

We bought this to use in the church nursery. It is entertaining and yet calming to listen to. Short review, but definitely worth the $4!

I was very pleased with this collection. It is simply just beautiful classical music that hasn't been dumbed down for babies, like so many other albums seem to be. It also does NOT have any 'new age' like adaptions, which was a big plus for me personally. My daughter has not had any problems drifting to sleep while it's playing. I would definitely recommend this as a great first CD for your baby!
