1.Tippett: The Midsummer Marriage from: Lyrita March 13, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $22.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $13.98
This splendid 1971 recording of Tippett's early, gorgeous masterpiece, The Midsummer Marriage, has to be considered against the fact that American listeners know nothing of the work and little more about the composer. At its premiere in 1955, ciritcs found Tippett's music difficult, which is strange, because it is tonal, richly tuneful, and bustling with rambunctious energy. They also deplored the libretto, written by the composer, which has been summarized as "a chaotic jumble of Western and Eastern mythology and symbolism, part Dr. Who, part The Magic Flute, part hippy-dippy flower-power philosophizing, part Jungian psychology, and part working class transfiguration."

2.Dittersdorf: Arcifanfano, King of Fools from: Video Artists Int'l December 12, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $10.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $4.59
Dittersdorf is a sort of working-man's Mozart; in fact, this opera sounds similar to some of Mozart's early operas. But Mozart sought to break the rules and to explore new musical ideas; Dittersdorf is not an innovator...yet he is no less a master! This performance, too, is a materpiece of refined (not always!) comedy; the arias include some extremely difficult vocal leaps and trills, yet the primary joy is the witty verse. W.H. Auden (no less!) ramrodded this translation to English. And Anna Russell, famed for her "Analysis of Wagner's Ring Cycle" steals every scene she's in! Ad-libbing shamelessly, her introductory aria, all by itself, is worth more than the purchase price!

6.Sun Chasers: Native American Flute Works by: Various Artists March 01, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $24.93
Man this is one heck of a cd. I never thought the native american flute could sound so good. Though the songs are relatively simple, there still is something to be said about the soothing quality of the music. I have listened to this cd time and time again every day, never tiring of it. In the crazy world we live in full of work and stess it is nice to know that we can count on soothing music to bring us back to a time when man was closer to nature. This cd is definately worth a listen.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $29.50
This is my favorite Christmas album of all time. Christmas in Hollis kicks off this album with star power style. DMC's cut is timeless and never gets old. Dana Dane, Spyder D, The Showboys, and the Surf MCs all add great "Christmas" songs to this album as well. I've had the vinyl version for years and our family still listens to it every Christmas morning! Time to get the CD!
