| 1. Mozart Edition: Complete Works (170 CD Box Set) | 
|
From: Brilliant Classics October 25, 2005
Some collections of this type -- a composer's complete works -- are pieced together from here and there, old sources and new, and the resulting collection can be uneven. This set brings together many complete cycles of Mozart's works from individual artists and groups. For example, the fine Hungarian pianist Klárá Würtz performs all the sonatas here in recordings originally issued as a self-contained... more

| 2. Beethoven Edition: Complete Works (85CD Box Set) | 
|
From: Brilliant Classics October 09, 2007
I cannot believe that the complete work by Beethoven can be bought at such affordable a price. The box has "table of content" printed on it and can be easily see when it is opened. I highly recommend it to classic music lovers... more

| 3. 100 Fiedler Favorites [Box Set] | 
|
From: RCA October 11, 1994
I have nothing to add to the rave reviews above (below?) -- I too grew up with Fiedler, and wish there were someone like him today making classical music accessible and fun for all ages.
If I'd been doing the selecting, however, I'd have dropped most of the George M. Cohan medleys and added more Leroy Anderson -- "Christmas Festival Overture", "Fiddle Faddle", "Clarinet Candy", "Blue... more

| 4. Deutsche Harmonia Mundi: 50 Years (1958-2008) [Box Set] | 
|
From: Deutsche Harm Mundi April 29, 2008
Some sellers are posting this item for sale and then not following through, or so it might seem. A while back, MOVIEMARS posted one at under $100. I placed the order. Later, they cancelled the order with no explanation. Perhaps they realized they had made a mistake by pricing it so low. Today, two sets were available at under $30 (!) from GERMANY. I quickly ordered one...then got a response that... more

| 6. Complete Violin|Viola and Piano Works | 
|
From: OgreOgress productions January 01, 2003
In this collection, Christina Fong and Paul Hersey perform not only the "official" (that is, published) works for violin and piano, but also add the only official work for viola and piano, and three unpublished works, the scores courtesy of the Paul Sacher Foundation in Switzerland. I will not dwell upon the official works (I previously talked about those in my review of the Sabat/Clarke collection... more

From: Delta July 10, 1990
Marvelous set of classical instrumental pieces recorded by renown artists by famous composers.
Surely, this inexpensive venture into classical music will have fruitful benefits for all who listen, especially to followup ventures into instruments and composers who interest such.
Especially enjoy the harpsichord selections... more

| 8. Short Stories |

By: Salzedo Harp Duo April 16, 2009
As a harpist, I was given this CD as a gift by my Uncle, who has worked with these musicians. These two harpists have a breathtaking array of experience separately and together, and they play together as if they were one. If you are not familiar with harp music, this CD is wonderful introduction, presenting a varied crosssection of harp music from early to modern, all performed with great precision... more

| 9. Paganini: Music for Violin and Guitar II | 
|
From: Naxos January 01, 1994
I only downloaded the viola sonata on iTunes, but I'm quite sure that it is played on a viola rather than violin (see review below). It sounds like a viola, and I checked the low notes in the last variation and they are low Cs (compared them against my viola). The playing is spectacular. I like this piece with orchestra, but it has an entirely different flavor w/ guitar that is very nice. ... more
