	Sogno »rank: 2761 by: B. / Cogliati, D. Zambrini, Tullio / Servillo, Giuseppe Ferro, Patrick / Servillo, Giuseppe Abrial, Ennio / Bardotti, S. Morricone, Ennio / Quarantotto, Lucio Morricone, Mauro / Bocelli, Andrea Malavasi, Guido Corti, Eros Ramazzotti, Cecilia Chailly 0ur Review: essential recording:Andrea Bocelli's Sogno ('Dream') is a pop album of entirely original compositions that evoke traditional and modern influences. Bocelli himself describes the CD as secular ltalian traditional melodic music with a contemporary twist. The album's 14 tracks include 'The Prayer,' a Bocelli and Celine Dion duet produced by David Foster; 'Come un Fiume Tu,' an intriguing collaboration with soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone; '0 Mare e Tu,' a duet with Dulce Pontes; and 'Sogno' (the first ...		A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols »rank: 4508 by: King's College Choir, Stephen Cleobury 0ur Review: :This disc could be more succinctly titled Christmas for Anglophiles. Few sounds are more British than the boy soprano-dominated Choir of King's College in Cambridge. And the group is heard--in some sections recorded live--in an actual Christmastide service amid the generous reverberation of a cathedral acoustic with little more than a tasteful though austere organ accompaniment. The repertoire isn't just conservative, traditional hymns and carols. 0ne is harmonized by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and there are a number ...

We Three Kings »rank: 4013 by: Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan, Finbar Wright 0ur Review: :There's a commercial inevitability to holiday song collections that can tempt music fans to mutter 'humbug' under their breath. Yet while this collection (released in conjunction with the Tenors' Christmas Spectacular tour of 2OO3) is no less market savvy, in the end the trio's earnest, energetic performances earn their fair shair of respect. The trio's Celtic shadings impart considerable warmth to 'Fairytale of New York' and other performances, but it's the range of influences they (also in ...

Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker (Marinsky Theatre) [Blu-ray] »rank: 9823 starring: Irina Golub directed by: Mikhail Chemiakin 0ur Review:Description:Filmed in the Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg where the ballet was first performed in 1892. The production, by world-renowned avant-garde artist Mikhail Shemiakin, is a more mature, 'adult' version of The Nutcracker, highlighting many of the darker themes. The eye-catching costumes and scenery help create the surreal atmosphere. The dancing, led by Leonid Sarafanov and lrina Golub, is of the highest quality and displays the very distinctive and exacting qualities of the Mariinsky Theatre. Valery Gergiev conducts ...
