Customer Review: Excellent!
A great way to start a classical music collection. It’s nice to have a full CD of each composer. It makes it easy to keep track of selections/composers I already have and what composers I still need to puchase to complete my collection.

Elliott Yamin Elliott Yamin’s debut is so agreeable and well-executed it may well convert hardened R&B experts–the kind who’d normally distance themselves from a disc with a TV pedigree. With sincerity and a voice that vaults itself to places no talent-show contestant should be able to go, Yamin bares his soul here in a way that would do his hero, Donny Hathaway, proud. Tracks like “Take My Breath Away” and “You Are the One” find him twisting a wrench around love-stained lyrics; “I’m the Man” and “Find A Way” flow with hat-in-hand grace (and, in the case of the latter, a scat worthy of a vintage jazz stage); and opener “Movin’ On” immortalizes the season five judges’-table words of Paula Abdul: Ellliott Yamin is “one funky white boy.” As he proves with this five-star album, he is also among the most gifted artists ever to a turn a stint on the show into a recording career. –Tammy La Gorce
Customer Review: Magnificent
This CD is one of the best I’ve bought in a long time. I’ve listened to nothing else in the 2 days I’ve had it. Elliott’s voice is beautiful and all the songs are good.
