Giuliani: Guitar Concertos - Edoardo Catemario        (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
  January 30, 2009

Based on the first review of this disc I ordered it out of curiosity. Now I have listened to it twice, I felt an additional voice of approval was appropriate.

Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker - Vedernikov          (8 of 13 found this review helpful)
  December 21, 2006

Christmas came early today when I received this from jpc. I suspect this is the Nutcracker Ballet by which all others will be judged - past and future. It comes from the Boshoi Theatre orchestra, and chorus, and has that element of "the source" which is beyond question. Performed with such ... more
