  Josh Groban

  Already an international star, the young Josh Groban brings operatic passion and classical themes to the masses. Doe-eyed, with curling ringlets, Groban is cute and cuddly compared to the swarthy Andrea Bocelli, yet he definitely possesses a true voc

  Johann Sebastian Bach

  J.S. Bach may be the most important figure in Western music, with an influence that can be felt in popular and classical music to this day. Largely unnoticed in his time, Bach was in many ways the climax of Baroque polyphonic music, tying together th

  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

  Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been celebrated as the quintessential Western musical genius, the embodiment of divine creativity whose life story took on the air of romantic tragedy almost immediately upon his death in 1791. Mozart’s

  Yo-Yo Ma

  The prolific and prodigiously talented cellist Yo-Yo Ma is as at home with Brahms and Bach as he is with Astor Piazzolla or Antonio Carlos Jobim. Like many virtuosos, Ma took up the cello early: his father started him at age four. Decades and several

  Andrew Bocelli (born 1958) sings light pop renditions of romantic Italian opera favorites to often-synthesized accompaniments for a beloved worldwide audience. With Pavarotti’s stamp of approval, he took the world by storm in the mid-1990s by singing

  Ludwig van Beethoven

  From the poise of “The Moonlight Sonata,” to the bombastic euphoria of “Ode To Joy,” to the intricate architecture of the late string quartets, few forces in Western music so keenly translated the drama of human experience into sound as well as Germa

  Sarah Brightman

  Andrew Lloyd Webber penned smash musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera in order to spotlight the talents of his (now ex) wife Sarah Brightman, who went on to record a series of very successful vocal albums. Brightman dresses like a Goth rocker an

  Bjork

  Bjork is hard to pin down and trace. Pointing to her pre-solo incarnations as a jazz singer, a Crass Records punk and an international indie-pop star with the Sugarcubes only shows a fraction of her depth. Since her Debut, in 1993, she has created a

Baroque

Ornate, opulent, intricate and old - the Baroque era has many treasures for you to discover.

Classical Moods

Sumptuous symphonies, soothing chamber music and elegant arias.

Classical Piano

Diverse piano works spanning the instrument’s history, from Baroque to Post-Modern.
