Hogwood does it again.......2006-06-13

Once again, Christopher Hogwood and The Academy of Ancient Music have succeeded in taking well-known and not-so-well-known works and showing an entirely new side of them. Remember, the great composers lived in a completely different age, so we can't know their true intentions, but I must say that Pachelbel, Vivaldi, Handel, and Gluck would be quite pleased with this album.
Here's a composer-by-composer breakdown on the disc:
Pachelbel: The CD is aptly named. I must agree with previous reviewers and say that this recording of the Canon is remarkable, keeping the piece's harmonic beauty while making it historically accurate.
Vivaldi: The B-minor concerto is tastefully played, though in some sections it is too staccatoed, in my opinion. The 2-trumpet concerto may sound "strange" with Baroque instruments, but the work grows on you after a while.
Gluck: Both instrumental pieces from "Orfeo ed Euridice" are very well performed, and they contrast perfectly. Nice excerpts from the operatic composer stuck between Baroque and Classical.
Handel: Ah, Mr. Handel. The Water Music selections and the Arrival of the Queen of Sheba Sinfonia are very famous (and addictive), yet the other works, from the not-so-well-known Berenice, make a good impression.
Overall, this disc gets 6 out of 5 stars. I recommend it to any and all "Classical" music enthusiasts, even those who despise period-instrument performance. Pachelbel may convert you to liking it.
Oh, and for those who want more, check out Hogwood's "The Original Sound Volume 2." That set's the same sort of compilation.
Thank you, Christopher!

Just the best. .......2006-02-07

This is the best version of Pachelbel's Canon.
That's all.
Just the best version ever recorded!

My favorite.......2004-01-14

Over the years I have bought this CD 5-8 times. Yes, I've given it to so many friends and each time I have to buy myself a new copy.
Honestly, I adore this CD. I may have even had a tape at one point before CD was popular. Don't miss this. And if you want to introduce someone to the the genre this is an excellent choice.

Wow! This cd is superb.......2003-04-04

I am in whole-hearted agreement with the previous reviewer that this cd is a must have. With all of the over-orchestrated recordings of Pachelbel's Canon, Hogwood has let Pachelbel speak for himself by conducting the canon as originally scored by Pachelbel. As Hogwood states in the liner notes:

"The fate of almost all "pops" is to be more frequently heard in adaptations and arrangements than in the original style and colours intended by the composers. This disc is an attempt by the Academy of Ancient Music to redress the balance a little by presenting some of the most admired masterpieces of the 18th century in their original sonorities, performed in a style and on instrumentation appropriate to the period."

And Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music have produced just that: an excellent recording of many baroque favorites. In my opinion, this is the standard by which all other recordings of these pieces should be judged. This cd certainly earned the five stars given by each of the reviewers.

A must-have........1999-04-13

Do yourself a favor: stop reading and order this disc right now. Most of the recordings on this disc are my favorite interpretations of that piece. In particular, those of you accustomed to hearing schmaltzy versions of Pachelbel's Canon in department stores will probably find the Hogwood/AAM version to be a very refreshing change. Mind you, I almost never give five stars to anything. This is one of my favorite discs, and I've many.

A Magnificent Collection!.......2000-08-03

The performances by Herbert von Karajan never cease to enthrall me. This tremendous collection of various composers and the adagios selected therein result in a never-ending source of delight at every playing. If I had this in vinyl form, it would be worn out by now. I am of the opinion that Herbert von Karajan raised the level of BPO to superlative degree. The performance of Martin Schwabbe speaks volumes of his prowess. The DG label enhances the quality, as always. I have no hesitation in recommending this CD to seasoned and fresh enthusiasts of classical music.

Magnificent !.......2001-07-22

This CD is soo soothing... Ahh!... It's fabulous for meditation or just relaxing around the house on a lazy afternoon. It is also fantastic if you have trouble getting to sleep or simply enjoy being "lulled" to sleep. This music can make you feel as if you are together with nature. The sounds of the flute and the "heartbeat" of the drum are splendid, which are all instruments I truly enjoy. The gentle sound effects of waterfalls are also very pleasurable.

I can only say THANK YOU to Astromusic, to Gerald Jay Markoe (Composer & Producer) and of course, to "Spirit" for giving the gift of such wonderful artistic expression.

If any of you have ANY appreciation for Native American sounds or the sounds of nature, I suggest you buy this.

Love & Light To All...

Undiscovered Diamond.......2007-03-26

Ancient Spirits is a great piece of work. When the right people find out about Khani Jones, his career is going to sky rocket- guaranteed! His music is thought provoking, sexy and meaningful. I am a true fan and when the rest of the world catches on, I will say, "I told you so"!

A Hidden Gem.......2000-07-29

Having intially received this CD due to the presence of one track of Bulgarian choral music, I was astonished to discover the presence of a musical treasure trove!

"Sacred Planet" embodies everything an album should be. Not a mere collection of songs, each track leads well into the next, creating a soothing and fascinating listening experience. Care has obviously been taken to blend the songs together in a comprehensive phrase of music, rather than the clutter and clash of moods that so many albums seem to consist of.

This album is a collection of music from around the world. Each piece is a compelling look inside a given musical culture, and can be appreciated for its individual beauty. As a whole, any listener will be intrigued by being able to compare and contrast musical styles of many different cultures and time periods. This album houses inspiring music that motivates the listener to expand his or her horizons, branching out in unusual and deeply satisfying directions. A stunning procession of both vocal and instrumental music, this album must be heard to be believed.

Nothing less but the best!.......2000-02-03

This extraordinary example of performance by Herbert von Karajan and Berlin Philarmonic gives to us the wonder of music from many composers. The harmony of each CD is simply admirable, from joy to romance, from nostalgy to relaxation.

Ancient Spirits is Magic.......2003-08-31

Meditating to the haunting, gentle and beautiful sounds of native flutes on this CD has been a very powerful experience for me. If you sit down, close your eyes and just listen to the sounds and the silence between the sounds, it will carry you effortlessly to what I call "the healing place" - by which I mean that you go into a trance-like state of deep relaxation. When I return to a normal, waking state after listening to these sounds, I always feel very calm and very grounded and that feeling seems to last for several days. I have also used this CD very successfully to get to sleep, and it even worked the night before I took the Michigan bar exam, which I found amazing and wonderful. Lenora's flute playing is real-world magic.
