| | 1. |  | Mass
from Sony
Price: $17.99
Customer Review:
An excellent cd sung in english with a libretto to guide you. This two cd set is very much worth owning and is conducted by the composer. It is not like the usual mass in that it employs two orchestras, singers, dancers and two choruses.

| | 2. |  | Mozart: Piano Sonatas
from Deutsche Grammophon
Price: $23.97
Customer Review:
Mozart's piano sonatas are like listening to ice cream. They are just music. And I mean this in the most positive sense. Mozart's good artistic taste manifests itself in being profoundly unpretentious and self-effacing. As Raymond Chandler said, "There is no great and important art; there is only... more info

| | 7. |  | Beethoven: The Complete Piano Sonatas
from Deutsche Grammophon
Price: $64.99
Customer Review:
How wonderful to hear Herr Kempff doing Beethoven again! I don't know how many recordings he's made of the complete piano sonatas - "not enough" comes to mind. He's in no hurry and the "virtuoso" element is thankfully nowhere in sight so we're left with the music itself and it never sounded better.... more info

from Decca
Price: $14.97
Customer Review:
Excellent playing guided by a Russian master, beautifully recorded by Polygram engineers. The little-played 1st Symphony was a surprise to me - after hearing it a few times, I don't feel it deserves the deep obscurity that history has relegated it to. The famous 2nd Symphony gets a lush, deeply... more info

| | 9. |  | Mahler: The Complete Symphonies
by Dame Janet Baker
Price: $62.99
Customer Review:
This is an excellent set of Mahler's symphonies, the Kindertotenlieder, three Ruckertlieder, and the adagio of the tenth. But these are not the only Mahler symphonies conducted by Bernstein, and Bernstein is not the best. but if you want to get all of them at once, this is the way to do it. I think... more info

| | 10. |  | Schubert: The Piano Sonatas
from Deutsche Grammophon
Price: $33.97
Customer Review:
It really doesn't get better than this - 7 cds of absolutely beautiful music played with passion, grace, and fire. While I enjoy all forms of classical music, sometimes the sound of a lone piano just sounds right.
Others have opined that this is the best complete set of Schubert piano sonatas... more info
