Michael Buble

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Michael Buble

Release Date September 29, 2003
I have owned this CD for more than 3 years and it is still the best Buble has ever done. I saw him sing most of the tracks at Ronnie Scotts and even now my friends accompanying me that night still talk fondly of the occasion. At this bargain price (feb 2008) you cannot afford to be without it. Everyone will ask you who is singing it. It is just wonderful music. All the songs are beautifully arranged and exceptionally well sung. I listen to it again and again without tiring of it.

Symphony

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Sarah Brightman

Release Date April 14, 2008
Possibly Sarah Brightman's best album to date where her Phantom roots are certainly showing on the neo-gothic/classical tracks. And how very welcome they are!

Sarah has a wonderful gift in her pure soprano voice which is surely blessed by the angels.

These tracks will not only delight those who have all her previous works on CD - and I count myself among them - but also a new audience who might be seeking something beyond the bland. Here is mystery, passion, power and purpose wrapped in a symphony of sound topped with a truly beautiful voice at the high end of the soprano range.

Thirteen tracks of sheer magic plus a bonus (Sarahbande) which leaves the Romantic satiated until her next venture into the world ... Read More:

Buddhist Chants and Peace Music

by: Jin Long Uen

Release Date February 24, 2000
I normally do not like new age music as it misses the soul, I chanced this after reading the above reviews, and I have to agree, it has a lovely fresh sound, and Iam delighted with it. Lilias

The Dude

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Quincy Jones

Release Date
I bought 'The Dude' as an audio tape when it first came out and it travelled the world with me when I went on holiday. Absolutely amazing sounds when chillin' around the pool. If you've ever been in a relationship it's impossible to listen to the words of 'Just Once' and not empathise. I still have the tape (cover faded with the sun) but bought the CD when that came out and continue to get as much pleasure from listening to it as I did in the 80's. If you haven't got it in your collection and you're a lover of perfection then I urge you to buy it!

The Very Best Of Matt Monro

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Matt Monro

Release Date February 24, 1992
I can't review this particular disc as I don't have it, but it has all his best tracks. Anyone who doubts Matt's ability should listen to the way he can hold a perfect note - sometimes, at the end of a song, for up to 10 seconds. If this doesn't sound like much, try it yourself! Apparently, when he was in the forces, Matt used to enter talent contests, and was eventually told to stop entering because he kept winning! Scandalously, his title song to 'From Russia with Love' was removed from later issues of that film. Why??

Natasha Marsh

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Natasha Marsh

Release Date June 23, 2008
OK, bad bit out of the way. We get 5 tracks from 'Amour' so, in fact, only 8 new tracks. (I wonder how they chose the 5 tracks to replicate?).
I found this disc both more satisfying and less so than Amour (I'm only talking about the new tracks here).
I would have bought this solely for the first track, `Der Holle Nacht', probably one of the (if not the) greatest dramatic soprano arias ever writen. I think Ms Marsh sings it well but the orchestra!!! I know the arrangement was for Euro 2008 but it really does not do either the music or her voice justice. For all that doesn't she sing well? Please, please, the second aria of the Queen on the next disc - PLEASE! - with Mozart's arrangement of course.
I was curiously unmoved by `O mio babbino ... Read More:

Classical 2008

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 15, 2007

This 2CD release is a great collection of classical music which bears no real relevance to the 2008 in the title other than being released almost (!) in 2008.

The only common factor between all the tracks is that they are all, without exception, performed by top artists, making the album both highly recommended and, considering the numerous different performers who are included, guaranteed to please most listeners.

The album doesn't make any 'Best of', 'Ultimate' or 'The Only One You'll ever Need' claims because quite simply anyone who likes it will probably want more, the obvious choice of course is the inevitable 'Classical 2009' release next year.

It should be noted that not all the recordings are from 2007, but the older ... Read More:

Stones

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Neil Diamond

Release Date December 23, 1999
I remember the day I bought the LP in 1973, I was an undergraduate and with not much money. Had never bought a Neil Diamond Album before and stumbled upon it because I liked Cohen's "Suzanne" and Rod McKuen's "If you go away". The first play turned into a second play and then another and another, followed by others coming into the room to hear THE VOICE and to be moved by the words. No other artist hits the spot so consistently. All the tracks on Stones are great but what has surprised me is that over the years I return to the eponymous track "Stones" cannot tell you why you just have to listen and appreciate the man, his lyrics, arrangements and above all his voice. The other great track on the album is "I am I said" Again I defy anybody not to be moved by the words and ... Read More:
