    1 out of 5 stars Scary?!.......2006-09-08

    I bought this CD because I wanted the sound of rain hitting a patio. However, the sound is inconsistent. It starts pretty loudly but about 20 minutes later, both the rain and especially the thunder die off. Also, the sound isn't smooth. It sounds like several separate storms patched together without any transition.

    My main problems, though, are the non-storm noises. I knew from the sampler of this series that there is a little dog barking in the background, but I thought it was quiet enough to ignore. The barking is present, no surprise. What I can't accept is a faint, disjointed SINGING like a ghost trapped in an insane asylum. Listen closely, and you will hear this phenomenon around 5:50, 6:10, and 9:00. I kept telling myself I was imagining things. Then I leaned over the player and there it was right in my ear: this short passage of yelling like some demon-possessed maniac out in the storm. I was freaked out. Do not buy this piece of junk!

    5 out of 5 stars MY FAVORITE.......2006-06-11

    This Thunderstorm CD is my favorite. The rain and thunder is very realistic and at the same time it is relaxing and refreshing. I have it playing all day, especially when it's hot outside.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Thunderstorm.......2006-04-24

    I love this CD. It's the best THUNDERSTORM recording I have heard. And the whole Cd is a real wonderful experience. I close my eyes and I can feel the rain on my face and hear the thunder rolling from all over... I am in the middle of the Thunderstorm. It's a great CD! Highly recommended for anyone who loves Nature Sounds and in particular Thunderstorms.

    1 out of 5 stars Hated it!.......2006-04-20

    This CD sounded like water being poured onto a flat rock instead of the sound of raindrops. The rain sound was so irksome that I didn't even notice the thunder. A big waste of money.

    5 out of 5 stars Most Realistic Thunderstorm.......2006-01-01

    WOW! This is a great album. It is an incredible experience of a most realistic Thunderstorm with great rain sounds. When I close my eyes it is like being in the middle of it.These are pure Nature Sounds. No Music added. Highly recommended.

    Album Description

    Hailing from Memphis, TN, Retrospect has fused the energy of U2 and the melodic nature of R.E.M., with the pop sensibility of the Gin Blossoms and the creativity of the Counting Crows. Retrospect's music runs a dynamic range of emotion, from the almost sweet heartbreak in "Forgetting Evelyn" to the raw frustration expressed in "Fall Like A Star".

    What can I say? I heard Forgetting Evelyn and was hooked.

    Soon after I bought the album from itunes. I didn't regret a thing.

    Every single song on the album is great. My personal favorites include 'I Know', 'Fall like a star', 'Forgetting Evelyn', 'Where have you been hiding', 'Everyday James Dean'-- in short, the whole album.

    Great find, great music, good job retrospect!

        5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing!.......2005-04-16

        I found out about this cd this year at school when my teacher put it on while we had quiet reading. When I first heard it, I LOVED it so much! I asked what it was called and she told me Baby Genius Nature's Lullybye. But, it was actually experience. Still, I love hearing it and I am thinking about purchasing it soon.

        5 out of 5 stars Amazing!.......2003-06-04

        This is the most beautiful collection of background music I have ever heard. I like to fall asleep to it or listen to it when feeling stressed. And I'm 17 years old. Absolutely amazing!

        5 out of 5 stars Diamond in the Rough!.......2003-01-24

        Simply put, this is the most beautiful compilation of music I have ever heard. My mom actually took a chance on this CD when she found it in a bargain bin at Target a few years ago. I borrowed it and liked it so much I've purchased it for every friend who's had a baby since! I've never been completely sold on the whole "baby genius" phenomenon, but this CD does an amazing job of calming and soothing fussy little ones (and their parents too!) during diaper changes, at naptime and, most importantly, at bedtime.

        Most children's music CDs typically feature similar rehashed tunes, however his CD truly stands apart from the rest. Each song blends an exquisite instrumental with a variety of environmental sounds like a babbling brook, lapping ocean waves, thunder storms, soft rain showers and birds chirping. What's great is that neither the sounds nor the music overpower each other, in fact they seem to be paired to perfectly compliment each other. And although I've listened to this CD countless times since my son's birth nearly a year ago, I haven't tired of hearing it and still love each and every song on it (even though I really wish Baby Genius would create a Nature's Experience: Volume II with more of the same!)

        Album Description

        The Sonatas and Partitas are technical wonders, seamlessly combining the intellectual and emotional, the craft and art, as one inseparable expression of the human spirit. While the study of antique styles is enlightening, an attempt to recreate an "authentic" performance would be contrary to the inventive nature of this music, whose content easily transcends those issues. Bach's music encompasses all the joy, sorrow, love, and grandeur of human experience, while commanding the performer to bring it to life through his own eyes and heart.

        5 out of 5 stars The true beauty of Bach.......2007-04-09

        Mr. Fischbach brings out the powerful yet sensitive side of Bach. His technique flourish through the entire pieces, notes dance through the music. One of the "must haves" if you are a Bach fan.

        5 out of 5 stars Deeply Satisfying Bach.......2005-02-02

        Garrett Fischbach, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra violist, here delivers a most insightful traversal of the Bach solo sonatas and partitas. With breathtaking technique and a virtuosic exposition of both the architectural and emotional components of this music, Fischbach positively triumphs. Playing on a modern instrument, he gives a performance of which one can readily imagine Bach approving. And if Bach didn't approve, I wouldn't care, so great is my aesthetic pleasure in listening to these discs. Recorded in the Upper Ridgewood Community Church in Ridgewood, New Jersey, the album offers a beautiful acoustic.

        5 out of 5 stars My New Favorite of an Old Masterpiece.......2004-12-01

        After listening to Garrett Fischbach's newly released 2 CD recording of the Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin several times, it has now become my favorite recording of these masterpieces by Bach.

        For the last 25 years my favorite recording of the unaccompanied Bach has been the one by Henryk Szering, released in 1968 (I owned both the original LP set and the 1996 CD) which I didn't think could be improved upon.

        Garrett Fischbach's fresh and very personal view of this music gives an exciting new perspective to these pieces that have been around for over 250 years. His easy and accurate technique allow the full 3 part polyphony to come through without any of the technical struggles apparent on most recordings, with the exception of Heifitz. His choice of using Eudoxa gut core strings (not mentioned in the liner notes) is rare in these days of synthetic strings and gives his sound a very smooth and appropriate Baroque character.

        Purists might criticize some of his personal interpretive choices such as his use of ponticello in the fugue of the G Minor Sonata, his occasional use of non-standardized ornamentation, or a few of his tempi, but after a few listenings I can't imagine it being done any other way. It is worth quoting from his personal liner notes: "While the study of antique style is enlightening, an attempt to recreate an `authentic' performance would be contrary to the inventive nature of this music, whose content easily transcends those issues."

        All in all I must say this is the most enjoyable recording of unaccompanied Bach I have ever heard from beginning to end, not just because I made the violin used. I believe even people who are not big Bach fans will enjoy it.

        5 out of 5 stars Tired of the "Same Old" Bach?.......2004-11-18

        These great pieces are often studied, often played, and often recorded, but rarely with such clarity and inflection. Fischbach has obviously absorbed so much more than the "industry standard" approach to these works, and applied an intelligence and nuance that is not exceeded by any other recording available, and I've owned dozens of them. Here is a violinist who understands the violin, the music, and himself, and delivers as cohesive a musical statement as can be made. What has he accomplished here? Something that proves a musical mind at work that uses the violin to reveal music, music that is more often simply repeated than expressed. Here is the profound side of Bach, in a two disc set. Put it next to your Gould, another thinker NOT content to regurgitate Bach exactly as he was taught. Buy this CD, or buy my copies of other artists second hand. I have no need for them any more.

        5 out of 5 stars clear and beautiful.......2004-10-22

        This CD was an unexpected treat! Whether it is the rapidly boiling middle variations in the Ciaccona or the ethereal D major "chorale" which follows, the spring of the E major prelude or the intimate line of the a minor Andante, the expressive intent is always fulfilled in this performance. This fellow manages to play these magnificent works with personal commitment without interposing his own ego between the composer and the listener... a rare achievement!! Kudos to Mr. Fischbach and to anyone wise enough to branch out from the PBS-famous-soloist-of-the-day rut and hear this refreshing performer!
