Teeming with classics.......2007-03-01

I purchased this for track #10, which I'd happened to hear on the radio...it stayed in my head until I tracked down the CD. I have a relatively basic working knowledge of classical music, so this long playing collection was an excellent and surprising introduction to several of Bach's diverse works...both well known and more obscure. Certainly a worthwhile addition to your classical collection.

Excellent Introductory CD!.......2006-06-29

This CD is an excellent introduction to the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. It's certainly not exhaustive, but it's a start. It also includes pieces from Johann Michael Bach, as well as another composer (whose name escapes me at the moment) whose work was once mistakenly attributed to JSB. This entire series of CDs is perfect for those who wish to learn more about the Classical Masters. Start with this series, and then by all means, delve deeper into their respective repetoires. You won't be disappointed.

Good Introduction to Bach........2006-02-27

I don't want to repeat what has been said already but this is a great indroduction to Bach. The variety on this release is good, but like has been said numerous times before, the amount of variety fails to set a single mood. But with a low price and a great deal of variety this is a great CD for those who want to start getting into Bach. Recommended.

Bach For Dummies?.......2002-07-18

A smattering of short excerpts -- many not on their native instruments -- to introduce the great literature left to us by J.S. Bach. Some of the versions are truly inspired, a few are not.

If you like what you hear here, by all means seek out the full-length, original instrument versions!

A super introduction to Bach.......2002-03-04

For someone who knows little about Bach and wants to learn something, you couldn't do better than to give them this CD. Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra give their signature warm, plush sound to the work of the great Johann Sebastian Bach, making him sound very nearly like a Romantic rather than a baroque or classical composer. This is not a bad thing--some complain that Bach, with his mathematical leanings, leaves them cold. That isn't possible with the inviting material on this CD.

I love this CD!.......2001-09-13

I have been searching for a CD to accompany my balloon mime show for a long time, and when I found this, it was a dream come true. The songs are happy sounding, chirpy and fun, especially the souped up version of the PowerHouse. Comes with a burp in front that I could react to! If you like happy sounding instrumental music, this would be it!

Disappointment and irritation.......2000-08-01

This CD contains 16 tracks, some from Walt Disney "Fantasia" and one (track #11) presented as the recording of "The Flight of the Bumble Bee" from the full length cartoon-movie "Melody Time". Beware: it has got nothing to do with that enthusing performance, in boogie-woogie rhythm, by an excellent piano soloist (Freddie Martin? Teddy Wilson?) accompanied by a string-and-winds orchestra. It is, rather, a very banal rendition of Rimsky-Korsakoff's piece. Considering that I ordered this CD just for this piece (I have all others of classical music, from "Fantasia" in excellent recordings, I was disappointed and irritated when I tried to listen to the jazzed-up rendition of RK's music. This is a misrepresentation on part of the label (Sony). I don't think it's casual that the title of this piece, presented on the detail page as track #11 in the "List to Samples" section, disappears altogether from the following section ("On This CD"). If you are keen on Bugs Bunny and other rabbits, go ahead and buy this record. I'll be grateful to anybody (to the tune of $10) who can tell me where I can find a recording of the piece, such as I heard it on "Melody Time".

Most of songs were very goood.......2006-03-22

I really like Baroque Music, especially piano. Most of the songs were good recordings. One song of special note: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring was a very poor recording on this CD. This CD was purchased just for this one song. I was a little disappointed, but the rest of the songs turned out great. All in all, still a worthwhile CD.

Wonderful collection of Baroque music.......2006-02-27

Know who the best piano player of the 17th century was? I didn't until I read the liner notes in this collection. While all the music was written for harpsichord (since the piano wasn't invented until the 18th century) this album is a very entertaining introduction to a nice collection of Baroque masterpieces. Eminently listenable album.

Lovely piano music!!!.......2005-05-17

I absolutely love this classical piano CD. It consists of various classical pieces performed solely by a piano. You have the usual--Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and The Harmonious Blacksmith-- and numerous sonatas all mixed together. The songs are expressed so beautifully with a full range of dynamics and speeds. This is one of the VERY few cds that I like all the songs

Crust classic.......2006-10-18

Doom, crust-punk pioneers, at its best. Not only your regular d-beat mayhem, but a filthy mess of aggreseive noise. The drive in drums/bass gives freedom the heavy distorted guitars. Vocals is one of the best in the genre, dark but desperate, real angry. Feelings of darkness, hopelessness, hate, desperation. Fast crust outburst blended with noisy slow-core.But slow or fast does not matter, each tune does not matter, its the punkish, chaotic brutal sound that knocks you out. A true hard-core masterpiece, alongside early Discharge and Amebix's first album, one of the best

Great Crust from Britian.......2004-07-16

Doom are one of the best Crust bands around. With their mix of punk and metal, Doom annihilates all the other competition in their path. Definately a great pick for fans of Capitalist Casualties.

Pounding British Crust Punk!.......1999-12-16

These guys have been around awhile... they have taken the Discharge style of punk to new heights (or lows). This album has better production than most of their earlier releases.
