 | Omar Fruk Tekbilek - Alif: Love Supreme |
 | "The album for the perplexed" | 2003-10-24 |
You have been curios about Middle Eastern music. You thought you may like it. If only you could get an album that will lead you gently into the genre. This album is it. Perfection in every track. Begin with track 4; "Dark Eyes" and you'll be hooked on OFT forever! An unbelievable artistic accomplishment!

 | Carlos Gardel - Best of |
| "The Authentic Gardel Sound" | 2000-10-16 |
To add to the review above about the 78 RPM Sound. To listen to Gardel with all the scratched and pops of the old recording is the full romantic essence of his music and of the era. A clean orchestrated Gardel as in True Lies is as plastic is to Gold!

 | Bernstein Century - Beethoven: Piano Concertos no 3 and 5 / New York PO |
| "Inimitable Serkin/Bernstein" | 2000-03-28 |
I was driving and listening to this recording on WQXR in New York. The interpretation of Emperor was so unique, so distinct from than any other. I had to stop at the side of the road with a pen at the ready to hear who in the world had the courage to conceive this sublime performance. When it was over you experience one of those delicious moments when the conductor and pianist are revealed and you go "but of course, who else". Very special.
