| Gabriel Faure - Pops in Love Band: Gabriel Faure Tracks: - Pavane - Claire de Lune - Adagio in G Minor - Cygne (The Swan) - Gymnopédie No. 1 - Andante Cantabile - Fille aux Cheveux de Lin - Pavane Pour une Infante Défunte - Gymnopédie No. 2 - Canon - Fantasia on Greensleeves Pop it in. I'm not an expert on the subject, but I do know that this is a wonderful, romantic, classical collection. Good for anyone who wants to become more familiar with the music and composers. Also good for backround music during dinner, etc. Outstanding Canon For those unfamiliar with Pacobel's Canon for Strings in D Minor, the piece features three sections of violins performing the same music, each section starting several measures behind the other (think of a round for classical music). This version of Pacobel's Canon is the ONLY one that I've heard that has the violas pitzachatta (the muscian's plucking the viola strings) in the background, all the other recordings that I've heard omit them. The viola section anchors the piece with their rhythm, lending a sense stability as this piece soars. This is the finest performance of the Canon for Strings that I've ever heard. The performance is incredibly complex as the musical theme intertwines with the melodies of the three violin sections. Heartbreakingly beautiful, this single track is worth owning this CD. THE POPS UNDER Williams Echoes of Arthur Fiedler, especially in the GREENSLEEVES by Vaughn Williams. I thought this version was not as well done as the Fiedler, not as intense, but still lovely. A varied programme, including GYMNOPÉDIE 1 and 2 by Satie. The PAVANE by Fauré is hauntingly beautiful. And for Pachelbel CANON fans, this is the most beautiful version I have ever heard. The opening chords, with the organ and strings, is out of this (imperfect) world. Oh, to dream...
