5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect -- and not merely for Pachabel's Canon, February 26, 2001

This review is from: Pachelbel: Canon / Fasch: Concerto for trumpet (Audio CD)

Many of the other reviewers have focussed on the beauty of Paillard's rendition of the famous Pachabel Canon. It's certainly my favourite version -- nothing else comes close. But the real joy of this CD is that the Canon is not the highlight; instead, it's just one of many highlights. The Pachabel suite is almost as delicious as its more famous sibling work, and the Fasch concerto and symphonies are all superb. You may buy this CD because you want the Canon, but you'll listen to it over and over because each and every piece is a complete delight.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Most BEAUTIFUL Version of CANON, EVER!!!, February 10, 2001

This review is from: Pachelbel: Canon / Fasch: Concerto for trumpet (Audio CD)

I have a much longer review of this version on 'Canon In D and Other Baroque favorites' Also by Paillard.As this same version is also on that one.

I cannot say enough about this version of Canon. I've been more than obsessed by it ever since I heard it in and at the end of 'Ordinary People'. I stood transfixed, crying at the soothing-gentleness and intense power of it. I had my father 'loop' it. (make it play over and over again). I've performed Ballet to it.... I play it for everyone who knows me, and make sure they know to connect me, my soul, my personality, with that version of Canon In D. It is sooo incredibly intensely unforgettable. It marks you for life. You will never forget it once you hear it. It is so perfect, Pachabel must've heard this music in Heaven and transcribed it for our earthly ears. You will never be the same after being exposed to such an incredibly rich, soul-touching piece of music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our Favorite recording of Pachelbel's Canon in D, September 23, 2000

This is the best recording of Pachelbel's Canon in D that I have found. when My family fell in love with this peice we purchased many different version of it Until we finally found the one we LOVED. We found it as a recording released in vinyl by the Musical Heritage society. When our vinayl copied developed some warping we could not find a replacement. This is it. You will love it!
