The Best of Glenn Miller

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Glenn Miller

Release Date February 05, 2003
Glenn Miller was a wartime orchestra leader who died in a mysterious airoplane crash, which is explained in the DVD documentary 'Glenn Miller's Last Flight' (*recommended). So, born in 51 as I was, his genre of music was more in tune with my parent's generation, but it overspilled, and we heard quite a lot of it via 78's and the wonderfully drawling James Stewart playing his role in 'The Glenn Miller Story' which seemed to be on TV back then quite often (now also on DVD!)
So, even though the music was cringeworthy as far as our peer's were concerned, (we wouldn't have been 'Hip' in the mid-60's if they knew we held a light for Glenn Miller!), but in all honesty, some of his music gave you the old adrenaline rush / backbone shiver, nevertheless. ... Read More:

The Best Of Rolf Harris

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Rolf Harris

Release Date July 07, 2003
While I can't confirm the copy protection issue reported elsewhere, I CAN say this is a pretty good summary of his work.

It's not just a good collection of his comedy songs such as Tie Me Kangaroo, Jake the Peg and Maximillian Mouse, but also shows off some of his Australian "folk" songs such as Wild Rover and Waltzing Matilda as well as some others of his eclectic styles from the gentle Fijian Girl through to his recent bizarre Led Zep cover of Stairway to Heaven.

But how can a "Best Of" NOT feature his UK number 1 "Two Little Boys???" There are plenty of other best of compilations, so you may want to try Disky's compilation "Best of Rolf Harris".

Chant

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz

Release Date May 19, 2008
This Cistercian abbey has a continous history since its foundation. My only criticsm is that according to the Rule Cistercians should chant in the Ambrosian mode - very slow & ponderous, and this CD is a little too fast. One of the plus points is that Cistercians do not have choir boys so the overall effect is a deeper more inspiring chant.

My Life: The Greatest Hits (2CD)

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Julio Iglesias

Release Date October 26, 1998
Like everyone I know, I first heard Julio when on holiday and his voice, even many years later, brings a warm feeling whenever I play his CD and I confess that I play it more than any other single CD I own.

Yes, some tracks work better for me than others but this is not just a greatest hits but an ultimate hits copllection.

His voice envelopes everything, bringing smooth flowing sound that is pleasing even if you are not listening but rewarding if you are.

This collection lifts him to the position of the number one European singer of romantic love songs.

I don't have his other CDs - there is no point this is the collection to have.

Phonetically Speaking - and Don't Forget the Piano

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Victor Borge

Release Date October 22, 2001
Victor Borge was a unique performer, combining the skills of a concert pianist with the timing and insights of a great comedian. Always impeccable, the complete gentleman, Borge's was a sophisticated, intelligent humour, humane and humanistic, though not without teeth - acerbic, witty, fast, but delivered with a voice which is as warm and silky as a glass of Drambuie. A Dane, he escaped ahead of the Nazi invasion and settled in the USA, rapidly becoming an adopted son ... and quickly establishing a role as an international treasure. He made regular appearances on British television in the 1950's, 60's, and 70's, and his comic routines were regularly played on the radio. Borge was part of my childhood, and I'm sure his memory is cherished by many of my ... Read More:
