5 out of 5 stars A Soothing Masterpiece.......2000-05-29

Barbara Ashbury plays the harp not only with her heart, but with her soul. It's soothing and relaxing. I feel like all the stresses I put on myself are temporarily vanished as I listen to this cd. She has a great ear for music and I'd like to encourage her to produce more musical masterpieces. Congratulations on your solo cd! I'm looking forward to your next recording.

A rather presumptive holiday title, Simply the Best Christmas Album is an unqualified best--if you like classical, choral, and symphonic music. Marquee talent such as Placido Domingo, Natalie Cole, and Jose Carreras anchor the mix, abetted by the redoubtable London Brass, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Edward Higgenbottom & The Choir of New College, Oxford, and the Bolshoi Symphony Orchestra. This two-disc, 36-piece set presents a broad spectrum of holiday pageantry that embraces familiar traditional works like The Nutcracker and more contemporary pieces from Sumi Jo and Linda Eder. From triumphant brass and angelic choirs to stirring string pieces and rich, lovely orchestral movements, Simply the Best sets an exquisitely festive mood. --Martin Keller

5 out of 5 stars Joyous surprises!.......2006-06-01

Every once in awhile I run across an album that excells, not because of the shining brilliance of one artist, but because of the collective impact of several. Here, in this album, are some little-known gems from Christmas music literature. I was captivated by the lilting and primitive joy in "Jesus, the Light of the World," which I had never heard before. Then there is Chanticleer and its rendition of Charles Ives' "Christmas Carol," a classic too little known. There are others. If you look for unique renditions of familiar and unfamiliar Christmas music to enhance the joy of the season, this album is a must-buy.

5 out of 5 stars Simply the Best..........2002-11-19

The minute I heard Thomas Hampson sing the first few notes of Adeste Fideles, I knew I had to have this album. It is a marvelous compilation of Classical Christmas favorites (excerpts from the Bach, Vivaldi and Corelli Christmas Concertos and The Nutcracker) and standard Christmas favorites, as well as some of the lesser heard Christmas gems.

The vocal power on this 2 CD set is amazing as well--Broadway star Linda Eder, Thomas Hampson, Kiri Te Kanawa, Jose Carreras, Chanticleer, and numerous others. I usually purchase one Christmas CD a year. This was it for me this year--make it part of your holiday collection.

4 out of 5 stars Lovely addition to collection.......2007-01-12

I love holiday music and feel it has a comforting
and important presence as a seasonal ritual. This
is lovely with selections new to me, and of course,
the harp is always a calming pleasure. I recommend
this as a soothing balance to the sometime strident
holiday fare, and is interesting and varied musically.

The music on this CD is absolutely lovely. It makes you feel like you're in a cozy cabin in the Alps. The instrumentals are excellent as are the voices. Excellent CD.

5 out of 5 stars Lovely album!!!!.......2005-11-07

For those of us who are willing to listen to music far from popular tastes , this is a lovely cd. This could be likened to a christmas card in sound.All the songs have an indescribable charm and brings to mind images of how christmases must have been far from our concrete canyons in the beautiful alpine countryside.It is a shame that so few copies are available but if you are wondering whether to buy it, by all means do try to buy it.

    5 out of 5 stars Good Straightforward Music.......2003-10-15

    Music is performed in its original settings. Beautiful choral work; four singers, two of each gender. Lacks the histrionical egotism found in so many Irish ballad recordings. Very much worth it.

    5 out of 5 stars The Best Ever!.......2003-11-10

    I had to send from the UK to the States for this one... Heard it in a shop in NYC while on holiday, fell in love with it but could not get it anywhere! This is beautiful, nostalgic and easy to listen to....I must now buy the other CD about Broadway hits, can't wait!

    5 out of 5 stars Enchanted by Enchanted Christmas.......2000-12-04

    This album contains some of the most beautiful harp music combined with Stevan Pasero's New Chamber Ensemble that I have ever heard. Ms. Mendieta's mastery of the harp is in this reviewer's thinking probably the best I have ever heard, and I believe harp truly is an angelic instrument. But it's not just her harp playing that makes it so good, it is also the arrangements made possible through the players of the ensemble that bring out her mastery, and make this must listening for the Christmas season, or any other time. One word of caution, however. As it is playing, you must sit down, relax, close your eyes and listen. You'll be rewarded with the most enduring listening pleasure you've ever heard!

    5 out of 5 stars LIKE ANGELS PLAYING FOR YOU.......1999-12-06

    THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS MUSIC I HAVE EVER HEARD. IT REALLY BRINGS THE TRUE FEELLING OF CHRISTMAS TO YOU, AND REMINDS YOU OF THE REAL REASON FOR CHRISTMAS AND ALL IT'S GLORY. I HAVE THIS CD, AND I AM BUYING 2 MORE! ONE FOR WORK AND ONE FOR MY CAR. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET HAVING THIS MASTERPIECE IN YOUR COLLECTION.

    3 out of 5 stars She Has Another One !!!.......1999-03-21

    When I was in Caracas, I bought her '96 CD called Broadway Center Stage. It has memorable songs from some of the greatest Broadway musicals of our time. Such as Cats, Sound of Music, Les Miserables (my favorite), West Side Story, Evita, Man of La Mancha, Porgy & Bess, Fiddler on the Roof, Sunset Blvd., Jekyll & Hyde, Phantom of the Opera, and Miss Saigon! This is her BEST collection accompanied by the lush orchestral arrangement of Conni Ellisor, this selection of favorite stage repertoire includes works by Andrew Lloyd Weber, George Gershwin, Claude-Michel Schonberg, Leonard Bernstein and more. Great music! Too bad Amazon does not have this:(

    5 out of 5 stars This is the best Christmas CD I own........1999-01-10

    I have played this CD over and over again. The harp music is very soothing and inspiring and it sounds good. This CD is a refreshing break from all of the Christmas hustle and bustle; it is like a quiet oasis. I especially enjoy the last song, Amazing Grace. It sums up our reason for the season--God's great love for us by sending his Son to earth to be our Savior. I searched the net to find other CDs by Anna Maria Mendieta but was disappointed to find that it is the only one.

    “LORD RICHARD” Remember the movie, Grand Canyon? One just never knows when a single phone call from an unknown admirer can result in major changes in direction. Such was the case when Dan Minicus called me and asked, “Do you know anyone interested in buying a harpsichord?” I wasn't really interested, but I had these harpsichord pieces I wanted to record. Due to instrument problems, an unsuccessful recording attempt in Chicago stopped me in my tracks, but the desire was still there.

    I went to Dan's place and looked. I wanted to play it, but nothing worked. But I could tell, however, that the instrument was one of very high quality - a German Sperrhake-Passau (made by Sperrhake in Passau, Germany). 8 feet long, two manuals, three ranks, two lute stops, and four pedals to operate the ranks and coupling. And heavy! The type of harpsichord preferred by the late conductor Herbert von Karajan for so many of his concerts and recordings. It would need careful attention, but I purchased it, knowing that my friend and colleague, Dwight Thomas, would be able to restore it. He concurred. He had to re-quill it and almost completely renovate the instrument. When finished, he had to teach me to tune it! (But that's another, very long story!) Now it's wonderful. A joy to play, and a thrill to hear.

    And its history? It was given by the English actor, Richard Harris, as a gift to songwriter Jimmy Webb. (Hence the harpsichord's moniker, “Lord Richard”.) An avid member of the Jimmy Webb fan club, Dan Minicus bought the instrument from Jimmy about 15 years ago. Jimmy had used it in New York during the period when he was writing MacArthur Park. Legend has it that he drank tea a lot, and often placed his teapot and cup on the harpsichord. The tell-tale rings are still there. “Jimmy, if you hear this CD, I hope you enjoy hearing your harpsichord.” And Dan - “thanks for the Grand Canyon phone call.”

    JACKSON BERKEY

    Hailed by FANFARE magazine as a “lounge lizard” for his recording made on the famous “Horowitz Steinway”, Jackson Berkey's keyboard career spans over forty years of touring and concertizing as a soloist, as pianist for the Norman Luboff Choir, and as featured keyboard artist with the Grammy Award-winning Mannheim Steamroller. He has recorded over twenty-five CDs on the SDG Records and American Gramaphone labels.

    An active composer of both sacred and secular choral music, his works have been recorded and performed by hundreds of ensembles across the US and Europe. Jackson has received annual ASCAP awards for his performances over the past 7 years and, accompanied by his Lady Almeda, regularly appears in artist concerts and festivals.

    In the early 1990's, Berkey began writing and publishing more instrumental and keyboard music. and since 1992 he has published two books of Piano Derivations, Cape May Preludes,and the Piano Trio Kassarjian. Also in print are piano 4-hand versions of 6Pence, Hosanna Down!, and Homage to Thomas Campion. Piano and harpsichord pieces in preparation at the time of this recording include Cape May Winterludes, Hood Canal Pastels and Lord Richard's Almanac. Works for the Christmas season include Organ Carols, Anniversary Carols for Organ, and the two books of Keyboard Carols. All of the latter were originally written for solo harpsichord but are here recorded on varied keyboards, and often in combination with harp.
