I love this CD and am so pleased to have purchased it. I put it on almost daily at work -- it is the perfect length equipt with the perfect choice music.
Amazing!.......2002-12-18
I thouroughly enjoy this CD! The music is beautiful enough to listen to all by itself, but also quiet and peaceful enough to listen to while studying for exams or doing homework. Mad about Baroque has been in my discman for many weeks and accompanied to the library many times. This is a great CD!

Album Description
The "Code of the Goddess" is an inspired musical exploration of the story from the best-selling novel, "The Da Vinci Code," by Dan Brown, featuring favorite works and new material from Laura Powers, creator of the Legends of the Goddess CD trilogy. A rich tapestry of elegantly layered arrangements interweaves beautiful melodies and mystical lyrics, creating songs that seem to spring from the souls of the characters we've come to know from the novel. This collection offers a perfect introduction to Laura's Celtic-infused music. It has become the soundtrack to my days, a musical companion on my own life journey. Celebrating feminine power and the beauty of the goddess tradition, Laura's earth-and-fire vocals blend with ethereal instrumentation, creating sensuous dreamscapes that transport you to another time, another place. I highly recommend it.
Candy Paull Author of The Art of Abundance, The Art of Encouragement, and 101 Ways to Give Your Soul a Lift.
Customer Reviews:
Beautiful & uplifting..........2006-03-20
"Code of the Goddess" takes the characters of the "Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown and breathes musical life into them. After enjoying the book so much the songs in this CD bring another element to the people and storyline of the book. No vague instrumentals and noodling here--These are songs that stand up on their own and to repeated listening. Opus Dei, The Mystic and the Muse, and the lovely "Heart in Winter" (Sophie's song is in both French and English--I recognize Pachabel's Canon in the song) are standouts. If there is no audio here I found sound clips on the artist's website. Well done--packaging is nice, too.
Inspiring!.......2005-03-11
I absolutely LOVE this CD. There isn't a single track that I don't love listening to ... at home, while working, in the car ... it's just one of those collections.

Album Description
German bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff is recognized as one of the most remarkable singers of his generation. Since making his US debut at the Oregon Bach Festival with Helmut Rilling, Quasthoff has set the musical world on fire, with his velvety, expressive voice and phenomenal range - both in terms of voice and emotion! Hänssler Classic is pride to announce the release of this disc, dedicated to the artistry of Thomas Quasthoff.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Quality!.......2003-05-05
I'll be honest with you, I listen to opera about twice a month, but when I do- it's usually this one.
Thomas Quasthoff has excellent range and injects a truckload of emotion into his singing. The arrangements are beautiful, the recording quality is excellent as well. If you're like me and are not an expert on opera, but just want to listen to something enjoyable, then I reccomend this one to you, my friend.
A remarkable CD.......2002-12-20
This is possibly the best and most listened to CD that I own. Quasthoff's artistry is unmatched by any performer I have yet to hear, and his technique is wonderful. I have seen him in concert, and I can say that this recording does do him justice. I especially like his recordings of the arias from Handle's 'Messiah' and the last track from Bach's 'St. Matthew Passion.'

Customer Reviews:
feel good music.......2005-02-23
This album has a special place in my heart. It is very uplifting and has gotten me through some rough times. Don't expect it to be anything but what it is. A good time. Fun. Highly recommended for those that like the Europop/trance type sound.
Great Dance Pop.......2003-06-16
This is an excellent, high energy pop/dance album. This album has stood the test of time for me. I've had it for over two years -- and it is one of my treasured finds!
Stand out cuts are LET ME LOVE YOU TONIGHT -- a HUGE dance hit!,
DO YOU WANT ME, BELIEVE IN LOVE, I WANNA BE FREE, and YOUR LOVE WILL SHINE ON ME. Yes it is POP (very upbeat), BUT I have not tired of it yet and still consider this one of the best pop/dance albums I've heard. I highly recommend it! If you are a fan of LET ME LOVE YOU TONIGHT, you should love the rest of the tracks.
P.S. I've heard cuts from their second album -- and they are great too! I will be buying future albums by this group!
Mediocre Pop.......2003-06-04
Fun, easy, and sort of melodic. If you have high standards in Pop, and like masters like Abba who wrote such perfect pop melodies, you may not like this though. It is too dancy and bubble gummy. After a few listens, all the songs sound the same and they do not last. If you like Ibiza type music or even Aqua, then give it a try.
Forget Abba and Roxette... Da Buzz are Sweden's Greatest.......2002-09-09
This album untouchable pop, the entire album is magic. This Japanese version is better than the original swedish version as the three extra tracks and remixes are fantastic. The track 'Wo Ai Ni' was made for the Japanese market and what a tune, the single versions of 'Do You Want Me', 'Let Me Love You Tonight' and 'Believe In Love' are also included. Buy this if you love great pop.

Libretto by John Dryden.......2003-04-19
If Messiah is the greatest Christian oratorio, then I nominate this a candidate for the pagan crown. The poem is high art most worthy of a Handel to set it to music all the while being scrupulous with the text. But no more of my amateurish opinions, here are some random shorts from Winton Dean's liner notes:
"Alexander's Feast" was an immediate and lasting success. Of Handel's major works only "Acis and Galatia" and Messiah were performed more frequently performed during his life."
"There are seven accompanied recitatives, the most dramatic of all gestures-- and exceptional number even in a three act work-- all of outstanding quality. Most of them occur in the fourth and sixth stanzas where Handel makes the most of his new technique. When the music has excited the King into fighting his battles over and over again and bread a mad over confidence, Timotheous reduces him to humility and tears by recounting the fate of [Persian Emperor} Darius."
"A present deity," they shout around:
"A present deity," the vaulted roofs rebound.
With ravish'd ears
The monarch hears,
Assumes the god,
Affects to nod,
And seems to shake the spheres.
Bacchus' blessings are a treasure,
Drinking is the soldier's pleasure;
Rich the treasure,
Sweet the pleasure,
Sweet is pleasure after pain.
Sooth'd with the sound, the king grew vain;
Fought all his battles o'er again;
And thrice he routed all his foes; and thrice
he slew the slain.
The master saw the madness rise,
His glowing cheeks, his ardent eyes;
And, while he heav'n and earth defied,
Chang'd his hand, and check'd his pride.
He chose a mournful Muse,
Soft pity to infuse;
He sung Darius great and good,
By too severe a fate,
Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen,
Fallen from his high estate,
And welt'ring in his blood;
Deserted, at his utmost need
By those his former bounty fed;
On the bare earth expos'd he lies,
With not a friend to close his eyes.
" ...Another stroke of genius is Handel's treatment of the famous line "Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen... He contracts the word to a monosyllable (fall'n), repeats it at unpredictable intervals, both of time and pitch, over pedal notes and staccato violin ostinato, suggests the tragedy of Darius' fall in the harmony, and then varies all these components when the line is repeated by the chorus. It is a supreme example of music's power to enlarge a poetic idea."

Blue - Da Ba Dee: Four Mixes.......2005-12-27
Blue - Da Ba Dee: Four Mixes~ Deep Inside Alex Jorden is an amazing trance track with great sounds, beats and I love the nonesensical lyrics. This is a song that should be obligatory for parties and clubs since it makes you feel like dancing and I am like moving in my seat even as I listen to it right now. This is a classic dance track for the ages.
Great!!.......2004-04-02
I was up in Massachusetts (...) and I just heard it on the radio, didnt know who made it or what it was called. Luckily, one of my friends (...)knew what it was. So, I bought Europop just for Blue, but then I loved the whole album! I'm listenin to it now!!
I mean, come on, what's not to love?.......2002-07-07
My 6 year old son was addicted to this song. It is cute and harmless...something not so easy to come by.
Love it man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-04-04
I didn even know this single existed till my brother got it for my b'day, and I was pleased to find out it did!!! I absolutely LOVE this song 2 death & 2 da point where my parents can't no more (cause I play it at dinner... in the car... you get the idea) and I had to keep hiding it from my friend when she came over cause she would have stolen it otherwise! Often with singles it's the same ol' stuff but not w/ this one I can actually listen all the way thru witout boredom.
All I have to say is "Those Italians know how to song!".......2000-10-05
This is a great single, but you can get you r moneys worth with the Blue single from Hong Kong, or the Asian Single. But this was my frist Imported Single I brought, & I love it to death.I even brought the 2nd CD or part of the Single. Ciao
P.s. Italians know how to sing!!!!! Ciao a Tutti! Bye to All!
