Puccini: Turandot

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
from: Decca

Release Date February 07, 1985
Read all the other reviews for soloist analysis etc. What I wish to add is do not be put off by the age of this recording. This was recorded by Decca in their glory days.The dynamic range, frequency range, soundstaging, capture of the hall sound, can (and does) put many a modern recording to shame. The breathing sounds and creaking stage boards only cement the performance. If you want to know how good your system is, can you hear the tube trains passing underneath and the birds outside.

For many including myself this is and will always be a definitive/landmark recording/performance.

Cliff at Christmas

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Cliff Richard

Release Date November 17, 2003
I originally bought this CD because I collect Christmas music and not because I'm a Cliff fan. However this is a fantastic album. Some may say a bit cheesy but I'm not complaining. There's something really warm and sincere about the songs.
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Cliff. Gotta give the guy his dues. I could listen to Mistletoe and Wine daily and still not be bored of it.

Stranger On The Shore - The Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Acker Bilk

Release Date February 26, 2008
What a class act this man is! a fantastic kalaidascopic cornacopia of a rollercoaster into the smoky realms of Jazztopia! with a cherry on top! I recommend this cd to everyone who has yet to worship at altar of Acker in the church of Bilk!. What people also don't realise is that Acker is also a greco roman wrestling champion at several different weights but gave up to concentrate solely on music, for that we should be gratefull my friends! also a special mention to Chris Barton who plays baritone on several of these tracks and is a very underated musician in his own right. If you like Acker I recommend you try Chris Barton's album " When Sally met Chris, the Stable sessions ". A modern jazz classic!

Live at Blues Alley

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Eva Cassidy

Release Date August 01, 2006
I was heartbroken to hear that Eva Cassidy herself considered Live at Blues Alley to be a lesser work. I think it is her best album and it is the one I reach for first when I need an "Eva Fix." Each song is an individual treasure, and together, they form artistry that continues to make me mourn the loss of one of the 20th Century's finest voices, and people.

Duets

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Barbra Streisand

Release Date November 18, 2002
When the double-CD Essential was released a few months before this, I was disappointed that some great duets were missing, although all the important solo tracks were included. I was therefore particularly pleased to be able to buy this collection. All the duets that were included on Essential - You don't bring me flowers, No more tears, Guilty, Tell him and I finally found someone - are reprised here, but they couldn't have been omitted from either, being among Barbra's biggest hits.

Two newly recorded songs - I won't be the one to let go and All I know of love - bookend this collection, no doubt included to ensure that Barbra's most fanatical supporters need this.

Some of the songs here reflect Barbra's acting career, including I finally ... Read More:

The Very Best of Burt Bacharach

by: Burt Bacharach

Release Date March 06, 2001
This is an amazing album full of hits which were classis, even just after release all those years ago. The fact that they still sound great is testament to the man. I tried to find one song which i didnt like or didn't hum along to, but it was impossible. Buy it!

Evita - Original London Cast Recording

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Original London Cast Various Artists, Elaine Paige, David Essex

Release Date March 20, 1999
Over the years Andrew Lloyd Webber has made many musicals, some more successful and appealing to the public than the others. Most people will, however, agree that "Evita" remains one of his most satisfying works to this date. Numerous reasons confirm this statement. Just like in its predecessor "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Evita" is almost entirely sung-through; the lyrics are witty and appropriate; the subject matter is again a personality larger-than-life who rises from obscurity and dies at the peak of its fame, thus becoming a legend; the score is captivating and appealing to the listener, at home or in the theatre.

Following the suit of the Superstar, ALW and Tim Rice first published Evita as an album, which appeared in 1976. It was an instant success ... Read More:
