Classic FM - Relax and Escape - The No.1 Collection of Smooth Classics

Search: Kreisler - Schon Rosmarin
by: Various Composers

Release Date November 08, 2004
I bought this because I know next to nothing about classical music and thought that it would serve as an a starting point from which to explore works by composers I liked. After all what's the point in buying a whole album by a composer and then finding out you don't like any of it? It's a good album from that point of view, but it is certainly not soothing. Several of the pieces are too jolly or bouncy. The classical interpretation of 'Summertime' is a travesty and I no longer play any of the cd it's on in case I catch the beginning of it. There are also too many film scores which I find rather syrupy. This cd is dead cheap and I'd recommend it as an introduction to classical music.

The Sound of Classic FM

Search: Kreisler - Schon Rosmarin
from: Classic FM

Release Date March 31, 2001
I've been a Classic FM fan for years now and I was delighted when I heard this three CD box set being advertised on the radio. It's absolutely packed with some fantastic pieces of classical music. Some of them I was familiar with - and others - like Spohr's Clarinet Concerto have been a real ear-opener for me. This has gone to the top of the pile of my favourite CDs - and I would recommend it 100% to all music lovers. Whether you already know a lot about classical music and want the highlights of your collection on just three discs - or whether you are just turning on to classical music for the first time, I guarantee you'll love The Sound of Classic FM.

The Classical Collection : Part 1

Search: Kreisler - Schon Rosmarin
from: EMI Classics

Release Date September 25, 2000
Listening to a Vanessa-Mae recording is always an awe-inspiring experience, the way she manages to play extremly high-notes, and completes long-complex phrases of double, trip or quadrupel-stopping (playing two, three or four notes at once!) with apparent ease is incredible.

What makes this recording even more spectacular is the age of the recording, the CD case declares: "First General Release of her Brilliant Early Recordings." When I first listened to the CD I had not read this, and yet I still accepted her vioin-playing as exceptional (myself being a vioin player, and understanding when violin playing is completed succesfully. Vanessa-Mae must have been around ten when she recorded this album. Her personality shines ... Read More:
