Release Date March 06, 2006
While this cd is obviously tailored towards a stress filled society and is to be recommended for that I personally enjoy the relaxing music `tears of spring which I got from amazon.co.uk. The cd I possess have a variety of stunning sounds so rich and dreamy that I can recommend it to anyone looking into this particular genre. If you like the feeling of floating away from your problems then this cd will do it

Classical 2008

Search: Nyman - The Piano - The Heart Asks Pleasure First
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 ... Read More:

The Best Classical Album in the World...Ever!

Search: Nyman - The Piano - The Heart Asks Pleasure First
from: Virgin TV

Release Date November 08, 2004
A fantastic selection of all the tunes you've ever said "Oh.. that's the tune from the ....advert, isn't it? What's it called?" about.

OK that's a very trite comment, but you get my point. Pure enjoyment, without the intervention of the tracks in a single classical album which you have to pretend to appreciate if you're not to look like a Philistine.

An absolute belter..an education, and a gateway to composers you'd never heard of, (neither had I).

Myleene's Music for Romance

Search: Nyman - The Piano - The Heart Asks Pleasure First
from: EMI Classics

Release Date July 02, 2007
OK. Let's suppose you like Myleene Klass. Great, you'll probably think - a whole 2 CDs of music performed by Myleene. Wrong! There are only two tracks on which she performs. The love theme from Cinema Paradiso that opens the first CD, and the Satie that opens the second CD. Yes, she is a competent pianist. No, she does not demonstrate real flair on those two recordings.

The rest of the CDs are generally fairly indifferent recordings of popular classical pieces that appear to have been chosen for one of two reasons: either to promote another of EMI's "name" artists or to get some use out of a fairly moribund recording with one or two exceptions - the Prévin conducted tracks for example.

There's nothing bad about "name" artists ... Read More:

Escape

Search: Nyman - The Piano - The Heart Asks Pleasure First
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 16, 2003
I purchased this three disc collection while on holiday in England this past summer. It has provided hours and hours of enjoyment whether as a lights out, chill out or daytime background music. The discs are packaged in a book-like format which includes some beautiful pictures of Great Britan's natural treasures. In addition there are brief explanations of the various selections. The fact that a portion of the proceeds goes to the National Trust is yet a further bonus. If you enjoy collections ala Classic FM, this eclectic mixture is just right for you. Excellent value.
