Hayden delight

Delightful performance by a renown chamber orchestra.

Mark
Haydn: Symphony No. 45 in F-Sharp Minor "Farewell" - Final Movement
Replacement audio

So glad to have this musical program back in my collection. Lost the original CD in a house fire...now the digital version I just bought is backed up safely for the future.

Michael Belanger
The Birth of Rhapsody in Blue: Paul Whiteman's Historic Aeolian Hall Concert of 1924
MHS Forever!

My home was swamped by floodwaters from hurricane Ian in Sept 2022. As I dumped waterlogged furniture and boxes, I opened one and there were several editions of the MHS Review magazine from years ago. Though they were not salvageable I was joyously happy when MHS returned to the musical scene. Precise musicianship, period instruments when required, and attention to performance detail have always been a hallmark of MHS recordings. This one is no different, and I am glad to endorse it as a good introduction to the Baroque and Classical composers listed. JUST BUY IT!

Mark
Orchestra of St. Luke's 40th Anniversary Collection (An MHS Main Selection)
Lovely orchestral balance

Nicely presented; vibrant.

Deborah Rochel
Debussy: La Mer - Houston Symphony Orchestra
Debussy La Mer

Felt like I was transported to the shore of the Mediterranean.

Mark
Debussy: La Mer - Houston Symphony Orchestra
Good, all-purpose music for a variety of tasks

I like the calming effect of this album. You can use it while reading, thinking or doing work. Good background music.

Robert Bilas
PURCELL: ORCHESTRAL SUITE FROM "THE FAIRY QUEEN"
This recording is so good.

This is one of the most stimulating discs of Elizabethan keyboard music that I have heard, and if music-lovers don’t go for it in a big way they don’t deserve to have such delights on offer

Gramophone
A Baroque Christmas from the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Julianne Baird, The Aulos Ensemble
Unbeatable source for classical music

This wonderful resource is affordable and offers so many rich recordings across the spectrum of serious music. Very worthwhile and rewarding!

Schubert 5th symphony

One of my top three favorite Schubert symphonies. He died much, much too young.

Mark
SCHUBERT: SYMPHONY No. 5
A good musical diversion from everyday life

This is a lively Symphony. It's great background music when you're doing light tasks. It keeps you alert.

Robert B.
SCHUBERT: SYMPHONY No. 5
Unappreciated piano works

This is an extremely pleasant recording. The piano sonatas are not profound by any means, but it's easy to find profound music. It's not quite as easy to find such cheerful music. An excellent all around disc.

bruce
THOMSON: Piano Music - Nigel Coxe
Lively-paced album

A lively-paced selection that keeps you going. This is good background music when you are doing a task.

Robert Bilas
Haydn: Symphony No. 8 "Le Soir" - Vienna Chamber Orchestra, Ernst Märzendorfer
TARTINI: VIOLIN CONCERTOS

Tartini is often thought of as a devilish violinist, evidently because of his reputation for eccentric, flamboyant performances, but these concertos are surprisingly sweet and pleasant to hear. This makes a very successful acquisition.

Edward Carpenter
TARTINI: VIOLIN CONCERTOS - Zurich Chamber Orchestra
Love it

Only wish the whole symphony could be played at once rather that finding the movement

Robert Pallotti
Brahms: The Four Symphonies - Utah Symphony Orchestra, Maurice Abravanel
Has a lively pace

This selection keeps you alert. They're not meant to have a calming influence on you. Has good violin playing.

Robert B.
VIVALDI: "Summer" from The Four Seasons - I Solisti di Zagreb, Jan Tomasow (violin)
