PLEASE BE AWARE.......2007-02-25

The audio samples given here are from the Vivaldi for Valentines CD in this same Philips series. NOT Bach.

The Vivaldi was great, though.

Bubble Bath Baroque.......2005-09-27

Light some candles, run a bubble bath, put in bath beads, pop this CD into your stereo and indulge in a bath that would mean you've pampered yourself in extremis. This particular recording from the popular Set Your Life To Classical series is a real treat for Bathtime, or in my opinion, anytime. It is indeed, as the title suggests, a relaxing serenade to wash your cares away. It is therapy, a perfect companion to a massage, reading a book, drinking tea, anything you can do alone to pamper yourself and to relax. Iona Brown, a female conductor, takes Sir Neville Marriner's place and conducts the Academy of St Martin In The Fields performing such works as the opening track - the Lute Concerto by Vivaldi as well as Track 4's Largo from the Winter movement in The Four Seasons, track 12's Concerto For Two Guitars by Corelli and the Oboe Concerto in D by Telemann. Also featured on here Oboe Concerti by Handel and Water Music Suite, and other conductors featured on here are Raymond Leppard and his English Chamber Orchestra. The Canon in D has never sounded more radiant than on here as it is conducted by Sir Neville Marriner and closes the CD nicely. A more relaxing way to take a bath you'll be hard-pressed to find. This music is gorgeous, it's affordable (on the Used Item section and the regular price) and is as always, a great intro to classical music and a fun, innovative way to enjoy it.

Cleansing Sounds To Wash Away Tensions.......2003-01-09

This is pleasing, pastoral music picked to relieve that which tenses up our bodies and souls.

Turn on this excellent baroque collection from the likes of Vivaldi, Telemann, Handel and Pachelbel (among others) superbly played by such virtuosos as Rampal, Holliger et al.

Sweeping instrumental arias are so relaxing! This one will soothe the savage beast as well as those tired bods.

Great Classical Music Series Gorgeous Music.......2002-12-22

The cd series "Set Your Life To Classical Music", composes a variety of baroque, classical and romantic instrumental music that serves the purpose of leisure and background while you engage in the day or evening's activities. The purpose is therapeutic. There are other titles in the series, such as "Bach For Breakfast", "Beethoven For Book Lovers" "Chopin And Champagne", "Baroque For Bedtime", "Puccini and Pasta", "Mozart For The Morning Commute", the series goes on and on. It is a great way to soothe your tensions and provides stress-free, nearly New Age style music that you'd more than likely hear at a masseur's place of business. One can also make the argument that this is the music you'd hear at an elevator. What I like about all these series is that they are also a great introduction to instrumental/classical music. The ensembles performing the classical works are virtuosic and well known in world of classical performance, such as Sir Neville Marriner and St. Martin In The Fields, I Musici and the New Age, Yani-style musician, Zamfir, who specializes in rare instruments such as pan pipes.

On this recording, specifically designed to accompany your bubble bath, there are beautiful, slower-paced movements from Baroque flute, violin and oboe concertos. There are the Sicilian style movements of such composers as Vivaldi, Bach and Telemann. The largo from the Winter movement is a richly melodic and dreamy piece for strings, and the concluding work, Canon In D Major, is an elegant, graceful and heartfelt chamber piece that has become iconic in Baroque music. It was used in the film, Ordinary People and is very popular in classical music for weddings. I strongly recommend all the cds in the series. They are a perfect way to get you into some of the most beautiful classical music ever written, and are a great way to involve music as the wordless, instrumental soundtrack in your life.

A relaxing serenade.......2000-12-28

This is a wonderful collection of Baroque pieces that will truly relax and wash away stress and tension. I especially like the oboe and classical guitar pieces. If you are a fan of the pan flute, this is also a good CD for you, but the pan flute actually is the down side of the CD for me. All the songs are first rate!

Excellent recording.......2007-05-12

If you are a fan of classical guitar than this is a must own set. I enjoy every moment.

Highly Recommended!.......2006-12-23

I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves music--period! Christopher Parkening is unquestionably one of the greatest classical guitarists of all-time. He embodies personal excellence like no other and is a brilliant artist. This CD is a must-have for any classical enthusiast. My favorite pieces include: Tárrega's "Recuerdos de la Alhambra," "Romance," Bach's "Prelude No. 6," and Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez." There are other versions of these pieces as well, but I always prefer Parkening's renditions, as they are oh so extraordinary--especially the recording of Aranjuez!! Other guitarists never seem to capture the essence of Rodrigo's musical masterpiece (e.g., Göran Söllescher in "Mad About Guitars"). But Parkening did! And the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was a perfect accompaniment.

This CD is definitely worth buying. Included is a CD booklet, which illustrates the history of Parkening's illustrious career, interesting tidbits about all 25 recorded pieces, and several photos of his early life to his "breathtaking performance" at Rodrigo's 90th birthday celebration at the Royal Festival Hall in London, 1992.

Amazing.......2006-05-08

I am not going to go into great detail. I am working on a degree in classical guitar and I can say this is something to strive for. His musical interpretation of the peices represented here are some of the best I've heard. His tone,color, and phrasing is incredible.

A gentleman musical agreement! .......2006-03-16

In guitar ` s playing there have been many renowned performers, gifted of exuberant technique. But curiously the Apollonian playing is not by itself strictly enough. The guitar is the instrument which is closer to heart as any other one. It demands from you passion and sentiment. There have been three well known guitarists, one of them from England and the other one from Spain and the third one from Japan whose sensibility was totally absent in their performances.

But fortunately for us, there have been notable interpreters that have been maintained a desired balance and contrast between brain and heart, achieving great distinction and total acknowledgement around the world. I would name seven primordial names along the instrument `s story. First of all: the mythic soloist Andres Segovia, Regino Sainz de la Maza, John Williams, Alirio Diaz, Manuel Berrueco, Siegfried Behrend and Christopher Parkening, among the most representative ones of a great list.

Christopher Parkening `s career has made a brilliant colorist, an impeccable and sensitive interpreter of this well reduced repertoire. His profound artistic conviction and convincing phrasing has been a perpetual motive of constant invitations and presentations around the world.

Extreme virtuosity.......2005-09-25

CP has become my chief inspiration to improve as a classical guitarist. His performances here are, without exception, phenomenal. He makes the most difficult pieces sound effortless. I prefer CP over John Williams because, while Williams is also unquestionably a master, he sounds a bit robotic to me at times. CP, on the other hand, never sacrifices musicality to precision. He sublimely maintains both.

This is arguably the most relaxing music anywhere. It is lovely to take a nap to, fall asleep to..... use your imagination to......

A Great Find!.......2004-08-02

These are wonderful cds. They include Andres Segovia,Julian Bream, John Williams, Presti/Lagoya and Pepe Romero among other guitarist's. This two cd set has a rare performance of Segovia with the "Symphony Of The Air"performing Boccherini's "Cello Concerto in D". John Williams performing Bach's "Cello Suite In D" at seventeen years old. Also Ida Presti and Alexandre Lagoya performing Debussy's "Clair de Lune" and Granado's "Spanish Dance No.2 The Oriental". Presti/Lagoya's music has long been out of print and to the best of my knowledge this is the first time their music has been available on cd.These cd's have over 2 and a half hours of music and are well worth the money.

Very fine collection of special works........2006-03-04

In spite of the several references to Mozart (some of us get tired of him), I found this collection to be unique, innovative and very well performed. I find myself playing it over and over with growing enjoyment.

Truly UNIQUE Classical Guitar.......2001-12-14

I first heard the Guitar Concerti Nos. 1 & 2 on an old cassette tape from the Musical Heritage Society. This compilation from Philips Classics presents not only these but the Concerto No. 3 as well.

Additionally, there are several other Giuliani works for Guitar & Orchestra, solo Guitar pieces, and the "Variazioni Concertanti", a duet with Celedonio Romero.

These compositions are rarely performed or recorded. Giuliani's works are UNIQUE among the genre of Classical Guitar composition... reflecting as they do, that transitional period between the "Classic" and the "Romantic".

Any devotee of Classical Guitar music who is not aware of Giuliani's work, is truly missing something!!!

Great guitar music.......2000-11-12

Enchanting and playful music, excellent performance and sound.Agree with another reviewer about similarities with Mozart.

I'm not an expert, just a fan of classical music

A great classical guitar CD set.......2000-05-06

I am a fan of guitar music, and tried out this 2 CD set after hearing it on radio. The music is very good and the guitar is accompanied by a complete orchestra (none other than the immortal Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields).

But to be sure, this is classical guitar, and not folk guitar music. I enjoyed this CD very much, but it is not like Spanish guitar or the works of John Williams (the guitar player, not the movie composer).

However, if you are a fan of the guitar, as I am, it will be long before you tire of this CD.

Mozart never composed for the guitar, but. . . ........2000-03-11

Giuliani sure must have studied Mozart because, if you like Mozart(and who doesn't), you will like Giuliani. These CDs are a good bargain and a pleasant introduction to the music of Mauro Giuliani. The recording is relatively old(1975-1978 ADD) but the performances are fine(Pepe Romero in my mind is the best in the world today) and so is the sound.

The way the Los Romeros play these guitar pieces is simply divine, or I should say hypnotic...

Great CD.......2000-09-18

This is one of my favorite CDs ever. I don't know much about classical music to know if this should be considered very good in classical music circles, but I know what I like hearing. It's amazing.

Music that makes you want to dance.......2000-07-10

This is a great CD, the playing is virtuosic and it's technically quite good. The slow tracks are also done skillfully with lots of variety in sound and interesting glissandos. I recommend it highly for classical and non-classical musicians alike- it's fun to listen to and the ensemble is pretty tight. Some of the folk tunes are so fast and with such a great beat it's hard to sit still while listening to this recording!

Bravissimo.......2002-09-17

The Katona brothers have enriched the recordings of classical guitar yet again with their outstanding performance of Rodrigo's "Concerto Madrigal" for two guitars. This CD possesses, frankly put, the most definitive and enjoyable rendition of Rodrigo's beautiful but underplayed double guitar concerto yet recorded. The Concerto Madrigal has been recorded by eminent guitarists in the past, including Williams/Bream and the talented Romeros, but never with so much passion, precision, and pure virtuosity- (which is likely one significant reason why this gorgeous work has been so underappreciated and underheard in the classical music world). The speed, technical prowess, and sheer musicality which the Katonas display in their performance is simply breathtaking- and finally do justice to a piece which should be more widely recognised as one of Rodrigo's great guitar works. Quick passages such as the "fandango" evoke the fire and passion of the Spanish bullfighter in the heat of the ring, while the slower movements such as the "Pastorcico" and the "Pastoral" are played with a quiet and gentleness which bring out all the delicate beauty, romance, and serenity that might accompany a slow afternoon stroll in the beautiful Alhambra gardens. To top it all off, the Katonas perform their own skilful transcriptions of lesser known Rodrigo pieces, as the heartstopping "Tonadilla," on their latest album. This CD has apparently already earned a well-deserved Gramophone "Top 10 CDs of the Month" award, and will one day become a legendary recording in the annals of guitar history, I have little doubt. Bravissimo, Katona brothers, for this wonderful CD. Truly great classical guitar players are still an unfortunate rarity, and it is only a shame that Rodrigo himself did not live long enough to hear the amazing Katonas play his fantastic "Concerto Madrigal" with the virtuostic brilliance, colour, and passion it truly deserves. Almost needless to say, for classical guitar and music lovers (especially those who love Spanish music), this CD is a definite "buy."

Okay.......2002-03-12

A Grammophone reviewer gave this album a rave review. I don't ordinarily agree with Gram. -- a reviewer was somewhat negative, for instance, on a Clara Schumann boxed set that I bought anyhow on the chance that it might be fine, since there was no other Clara Schumann available at the time. I thought the boxed set was wonderful. Here, I have to also disagree. Although this CD is okay -- the music is played competently -- it misses something important. From what the Gram. reviewer said, this is a unique experience to hear the Katona twins play in that special harmony you find in twins. I haven't heard that and so must listen to the CD more to detect any special harmonies. What I heard was a rather stiff performance, backed up by an orchestration that neither overwhelmed nor really coordinated with the soloists. The performance here is worth listening to, but on the other hand, it clearly lacks the charm, spirit and intimacy of the Romeros. Can't say that I'd recommend this album.

Too disjointed.......2006-07-29

I bought this on a whim to relax. I have played classical piano for 25 years (for my own enjoyment) but had little exposure to the same music transposed to classical guitar. I recognized most of the selections. The first 4 tracks really delivered but the middle third of the CD becomes abruptly loud and soft and, frankly, sounds poorly mixed. The latter part of the CD finishes well. The CD could have been uniformly fantastic if some of the middle selections had been left out, or replaced by less orchestral pieces. Because of the disconnect I rarely play the CD, knowing that the quiet, reflective mood it induces will soon be sonically destroyed.
