Marvin Gaye: The Marvin Gaye Collection        (9 of 9 found this review helpful)
  July 28, 2006

I purchased this SACD a while back but was disappointed by the paucity of “formative” Marvin Gaye music. I thought the songs included made for a chintzy, watered down, list. I was particularly disappointed that some of the great Marvin Gaye songs that made only the soul charts and not the Bill Board ... more

Make no mistake about it, this music chronicles a deeply sacred advent in Christianity with a sculptured depiction of the hours from the time that Christ was condemned to ... more
The Widor Mass - Daniel Roth        (10 of 10 found this review helpful)
  February 27, 2006

If there ever was a recorded performance committed to disc that embodies the phrase “the power and the glory”, the “Widor Mass”, Op. 36 on JAV Recordings has got to be that disc. This SACD is more than just a top notch recording it is a powerful and glorious “event”. As powerful works such as ... more
