5.0 out of 5 stars Beware the Flame, June 13, 2002

Michael Aloi (Ft.Lauderdale Fla.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Classical Heat (Audio CD)

Trumpet blasts, french horn flares, all the way to the subtle reeds of the bassoon. This album will keep you interested and awake all the way through. Paired with its sister album "Classical Chill", they can be the perfect mix you have been looking for. Musician and listener alike: This CD is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classical Wonder, May 17, 2003

This review is from: Classical Heat (Audio CD)

As an avid classical music listener, and cellist, Classical Heat was the perfect blend of energized, fast-paced works, and then on the second disk, a more mellow, yet still firey, works. I would recommend this CD set to every classical listener, even people that don't normally like the classical genre will enjoy this cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Mixture of My Classical Favorites, January 12, 2009

This album is nicely put together with the first cd being with the more intense sounding songs. My favorites are usually with heavy chorus to it and these are some of my favorites from that sound. The second disc on the other hand has a more string instrument sound and more mellow than the first but overall still pretty enjoyable. I am not going to go into detail about who is on the discs since they can be seen clearly on the items description. This is a nicely put together disc in my mind with some of my favorite pieces so it deserves my five stars.
