Syms 1-9: Comp
 From Amazon.co.uk: Sir John Eliot Gardiner's period-instrument orchestra is well named, for in some of the most recorded repertoire of all time he revolutionises our conception of how these titanic works should sound. Of course it has to be said that [... more]

Requiem
I could wax on about this but won't....it's not necessary: Fantastic recording. Hogwood and Emma are a great combination. I wish the company would reissue them with the Exultate Jubilate! Dissapointing New Version: I really want to like this record, but [... more]

Massive Classics Music You
Terrible recordings of great songs.: The song selecting is awesome, but the performances and recordings (or the remastering) are awful. The balance seems off (very tinny sound), and the musicianship is weak (Vivaldi's "Summer" sounds like eigth- [... more]

Syms 1-9
From Amazon.com: Stylistically, Hogwood is on firm ground, and there is much to be said for his insights into the music. He prefers not to "conduct" the symphonies in the conventional manner, but to "coordinate" their performance as a [... more]

Heroes
From Amazon.co.uk: It's tempting to describe Andreas Scholl's voice as one of the most sheer and beautiful around today. Certainly as far as countertenors go (of which we seem to have an epidemic at the moment) he's at the very top of the pile. But there' [... more]

Great Mozart Recording and Great Patriotic Tribute: Of the three recordings I know of the Levin completion of Mozart's Requiem (the others being MacKerras and Pearlman) this particular one has to be the most convincing to me. It is understated but still [... more]

Syms Comp/Ovts
Puckish Beethoven: Roger Norrington seems intent on using the symphonies as display pieces for his quick wit and quirky manner. At first hearing it can be engaging and enjoyable. Lots of unexpected twists and turns, audaciously swift 'slow movements' and [... more]
