UltraSound - Music for the Unborn Child
from: RCA
: :While many hospitals across the country send new mums and babes home equipped with discs of classical music to soothe and gently stimulate babies' tender minds, Ultrasound brings together a delightfully well-rounded set specifically chosen for those still in the womb. Expectant moms will appreciate the effects of the mellow strains of Bach's Suite No. 3, the delicate playfulness of Tchaikovsky's 'Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy,' and Mozart's proven-to-make-you-smart Sonata for Two Pianos featuring André Previn. Debussy's 'Clair de lune' is especially lovely as conducted and ...

Grieg: Lyric Pieces / Emil Gilels
from: Deutsche Grammophon
: :Emil Gilels' personal selection of favorite lyric pieces is one of his most praised and best recordings. The pianist obviously selected the pieces with which he felt the strongest identification, and he plays them lovingly, with sprightly rhythms and a rich, singing tone. Gilels was the one who identified himself as second to Sviatoslav Richter--'If you think I'm something, wait until you hear Richter,' he supposedly said. But this collection is just as beautiful in its way as Richter's lyric collections. Along with some of his ...

A Robert Shaw Christmas - Angels on High
from: Telarc
: :In this beautifully chosen program of mostly a cappella arrangements, Robert Shaw and the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers deliver the Christmas story in tones of gentle and moving splendor.

Particularly moving is the newest work on the disc, a setting of 'O magnum mysterium' by the American composer Morten Lauridsen. Franz Biebl's 'Ave Maria' is another gem, as ...

David Russell: Art of the Guitar
from: Telarc
: : David Russell's program ranges wide and far, from arrangements of such exotica as Arcos' Fantasia on Themes from Verdi's La Traviata to original guitar solos by the likes of Villa Lobos and modern Latin composers. They're all played with technical polish and, more important, genuine musicality. For Russell's playing here, as in his other popular albums for Telarc, has the communicative sparkle that draws the listener into the music, even listeners not especially enamored of the instrument. In arrangements of familiar piano works like the ...
