This double CD lives up to its title. Although the span of Western classical music encompasses a wide variety of techniques and compositional styles, there is nothing more glorious than the slow and ruminative movements from these works by the greatest composers from Bach to Gorecki. Serenity is the key word to describe both Bach's Air from the Orchestral Suite No. 3 and Grieg's gorgeous paean to dawn, "Morning," which comes from his most famous work, 'Peer Gynt.' Satie's Gymnopédie No 1. is originally for piano solo, but receives a tender performance by the City of Birmingham Orchestra in Debussy's equally famous arrangement for strings. The second CD includes some unusual but equally appropriate selections: Boccherini's Minuet from the String Quintet in E major receives a resplendent orchestral treatment by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. The Andante from Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Mandolins proves to be a delightful inclusion. The Moderato from Dvorak's String Serenade is given a lush rendition by the London Chamber Orchestra. Perhaps the most gorgeous slow piece of music of all is Barber's Adagio for Strings, which is represented by Eugene Ormandy's classic rendition from 1985.

Richter
 $15.29 
This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players.
The record that started the bossa nova craze of the mid-'60s, GETZ-GILBERTO is a justly recognized classic. The disc's success is attributable to its spectacular personnel: the man who basically invented bossa nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim; the man who defined and perfected the genre, Joao Gilberto; his charmingly waifish-sounding wife, Astrud Gilberto; and American tenor saxophonist extraordinaire Stan Getz. Jobim plays guitar and piano; Getz provides remarkably lyrical, complementary lead lines, and Joao Gilberto plays and sings in Portuguese with the most understated, romantic, and artful vocal delivery imaginable. It's a hard combination to beat.
Opening track "The Girl From Ipanema," a breezy, infectious Jobim composition with vocals by both Joao and Astrud, became one of the biggest (and most recognizable) hits of the era, and the single most popular Brazilian tune in America. The exquisite shuffle "Desafinado," the Joao-Astrud duet "Corcovado," and the eminently grooving "So Danco Samba" have gone on to become standards of both bossa nova and jazz, and the versions here are definitive. Getz's sensitive playing blends seamlessly with the deceptively casual rhythmic sophistication of Jobim, Gilberto, and percussionist Milton Banana. The material, the musicianship, and the gentle, minimal arrangements and production ensure that GETZ/GILBERTO will never date, age, or tire. It's a perfect album.
One of the biggest-selling jazz albums of all time, not to mention bossa nova's finest moment, Getz/Gilberto trumped Jazz Samba by bringing two of bossa nova's greatest innovators -- guitarist/singer Joao Gilberto and composer/pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim -- to New York to record with Stan Getz. The results were magic. Ever since Jazz Samba, the jazz marketplace had been flooded with bossa nova albums, and the overexposure was beginning to make the music seem like a fad. Getz/Gilberto made bossa nova a perma

About Contrast -Waiting for cannons..."Contrast" is an album that celebrates what I cherished so much about music when I was a kid. I loved listening to Tchaikovsky- and trust me, that's not in a pretentious way; I was listening to the 1812 Overture, waiting for the cannons. I loved the beginning string section, the way the woodwinds joined- and I loved the furious passages between the slow sections. But as for the slow sections; I hated them. As my taste broadened, I noticed one thing remained the same from those days; I was always waiting for the cannons.It's the contrast that makes everything so worthwhile. It's the vegetables before the dessert. You need it for the rest of it to matter, to make sense, to exist. I know a football coach who hated coaching one of his teams because they never lost a game. How could you know what a great feeling it is to win if you've never lost? It's the same with music. Think of your favorite songs, orchestral pieces, anything; what do you like about them? I doubt you'd say the whole song. You'd probably say, 'I like that part when!'"Contrast" is about finding those moments. Not only within the song, but between each individual song. It's admittedly schizophrenic- like a mix tape put together by throwing a bunch of CD's in the air and just grabbing a track of each CD you catch. This music is not meant to only relax, or only excite; it's just made to make you feel. About the Composer -Collin Simon has been composing music for over 18 years from stage to films. He began writing for community theaters when he was 13, composed the music for his first documentary when he was 16, and his first film when he was 18. By the time Collin was 20, he worked in a professional theater arranging, performing, and composing original musicals. After a stint writing for student shorts and independent films, some of which went to prestigious festivals such as Cine Vegas, he began to work for York Entertainment. He has completed four feature length movies that have been released internationally to major video rental stores. He has also worked with Sterling Entertainment for whom he has written one score that was released through Lions Gate Films. Recently, Collin and lyricist Elizabeth Muller wrote and original musical called 3 Ghosts that was performed 2 years in a row in New York; first at a high school, then at a college. A CD was also recorded using a new cast of singers, and that soundtrack will be available soon. Collin also wrote the music to a national commercial spot for Kellogg's Apple Jacks and he is currently finishing his score for an independent film called, "Rage" with a soundtrack for that coming out soon as well.
