Joshua Bell At Home With Friends


This would have been a great CD to listen to during my college days. I used to listen to Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Strauss, etc while I studied and just to relax after a full day. Joshua Bell's "At Home With Friends" is a great compilation of music with some great artists. "Come Again" with Sting is such a beautiful song. I can already imagine it in a soundtrack of a movie. Joshua Bell is such an amazing violinist. He incorporates such emotion into his music and it just moves you. #8 is such a beautiful song, it touches your soul. This would make a great CD to play while drinking wine and relaxing with friends. Overall, it's all beautiful music!

Harry Connick, Jr. “Your Songs” review


"Your Songs" is such a classic Harry Connick, Jr. style selection of music. He usually chooses songs that have a jazzy feel to it and is of the oldies but goodies world. Though I am a fan of his, I just didn't feel that this was original in any way. It just sounds like all of his other CDs. I loved walking down memory lane with some of the songs he chose. I especially liked "Besame Mucho" from one of my favorite movies of all time (Great Expectations) and "The Way You Look Tonight" from another favorite movie of mine (My Best Friend's Wedding). Although I appreciate listening to some classic songs of some of the greatest artists of all time, I just wish he could branch out more and make his OWN music. But then again, I wouldn't mind him singing "Oh Danny Boy" like he did on another favorite movie of mine (Memphis Belle). Can't you tell I love movies?

REVIEW: Yanni Voices


REVIEW FOR ONE2ONE NETWORK

Yanni + Voices = Good music!

Back in the 90's, my very 1st boyfriend introduced me to the world of Yanni. I thought he was weird at first, considering he was a punk rock kind of guy and didn't expect that he would ever like music like Yanni's. But surprisingly enough, I fell in love with Yanni's music.

I like the mixture of vocals with Yanni's orchestration, as it mixes the two worlds of the young and the old. (Not that I'm saying that symphonic music is only meant only for the old!) The melodies are wonderful and incredibly relaxing. The voices of these young artists definitely work well with the beautiful instrumental music.

I like "Set me Free", sounds like something you would hear on mainstream radio (similar to Dido's music). "Before the Night Ends", "The Keeper", "Never Leave the Sun" and "Kill me With your Love" are really good songs too. I can see "Our Days" being picked for a soundtrack for a movie, maybe the upcoming "New Moon" movie from the Twilight series?? "Moments Without Time" is a classic Yanni song that will relax you and helps create a serene environment. All the other songs are alright, not really my kind of music, but a great mix of different types of music overall.
