5.0 out of 5 stars Piano playing that sparkles, December 11, 2000

This CD was one of the first in a long line of recordings dealing with music from Jane Austen's time. In a hurry to take advantage of the growing popularity of Austen, many record companies have turned out hastily put-together recordings, some of which don't even feature music of the actual time in which Austen lived. This CD, however, is a different story. It is one of the most well-informed releases in this genre. Ms. Bond has meticulously researched the music, even discovering the music which Austen had in her own personal collection. In the booklet accompanying the CD, Bond has written a delightful and thoughtful essay on the music, and how and by whom it might have been performed in Austen's time. In addition, the CD is beautifully recorded. Ms. Bond's playing literally sparkles and the sound quality is excellent. I highly recommend this to any fan of piano music of the time of Haydn and Mozart, or to any fan of Austen's work. You won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Austerely Austen, May 27, 2004

By 

Myriam Blackburn (Salt Lake City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Piano Classics from the World of Jane Austen (Audio CD)

Ms. Bond's masterful performance clearly captures character and society in Jane Austen's world. Pieces ranging from the sprightly elegant to the privately pensive recall Austen's most endearing literary characters; and the performative demands of the works suggest the public nature of music during the author's lifetime. Perceptive of Austen's wit, pathos and artistry, Bond's selection and presentation wonderfully render the best of this literature through music. This CD is an absolute delight!!

I love this CD and so does my baby! We listen to it everyday. This CD has a very nice mixture of relaxing Classical along with some wonderfully upbeat classics. When my baby is cranky and nothing seems to help, I play this CD and he becomes quiet and soothed. I have also used this CD for stretching music in my aerobic classes and the class has commented on how nice it sounds.
