Big Brother & the Holding Company: Cheap Thrills      (3 of 3 found this review helpful)
  February 1, 2005

It can be argued that this disc contains THE finest vocal performance by a female rock singer. There has never been a rock singer since Janis Joplin who is as ELECTRIFYING as she herself was. And this is probably the crown jewel of her catalogue. A mixture of 1968 studio and live performances, Cheap ... more
Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring, Nielsen: Symphony No. 5 - Paavo Järvi          (5 of 10 found this review helpful)

RPWL is a young German prog-rock band who have been compared at times to Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, and Marillion. And, truth be told, they do sound like a cross between all three of those bands with a ... more

Got a great deal on this one. Only $5.99 (shipping included) at www.yourmusic.com. This is only the 7th classical SACD I have purchased or heard and it is a winner! VERY warm sound! The only other classical releases I have bought have been on Telarc and Naxos. While I still prefer the bright, crisp, ... more
