With over 350 extremely pleasing beaches in the State of Florida, it’s closely out of the question to choose a Best Florida Beach. City of Delray Beach, however, on the east coast, equidistant among West Palm and Fort Lauderdale is at the top of the list. Delray Beach is fondly known as the Village by the Sea. It’s a first-class resort town in Palm Beach County next door to Boca Raton. Delray won the Centennial Medallion Award for it is historic preservation efforts, joining New York’s Central Park and San Francisco’s Ghiradelli Square. It has a thriving downtown with Atlantic Avenue as the focal point, featuring shopping, galleries, dining and nightlife and even, the last time I checked, an magnificent Elvis impersonator in one of the landmark outside bars! Delray has three miles of award winning Blue Wave certified beaches and the biggest beach in the County with a great deal of parking on the street (angled in) and in lots. A short walk through the mangroves on narrow winding paths all along A1A brings you out on the other side to a wide expanse of finelooking sand. There are volleyball nets along the beach, and a nature trail and boardwalk in Atlantic Dunes Park. There are boating activities, you may rent a seadoo or sunfish. There are assorted open air restaurants on A1A and a great deal of more as you stroll down Atlantic Avenue from the beach.

Most helpful customer reviews 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. All the performances on this CD are drawn from recordings of the last century, That’s probably why the price but I do not believe you need to worry about the quality. These are all decent performances by well known artists in this repertoire such as Monica Huggett, Ralph Kirshbaum, Ton Koopman, Gustav Leonhardt, Lionel Rogg, Jordi Savall, Elizabeth Wallfisch, Fabio Biondi, Philippe Herreweghe, Sigiswald Kuijken, Sir Philip Ledger, Andrew Parrott, Jonathan Rees, Peter Schreier, etc.. I thought this would be a great introduction to Bach’s music and, really, with great music like these, performance style probably will not matter that much. just sit down and enjoy. This works best for those who can only afford an hour here and half an hour there and do not have the time to sit through Bach’s longer works. It has some complete performances and also some excerpts but seems to have cover all the great ones by Bach. Those demand complete performances or particular performance style might go elsewhere but for newbies to Bach’s music world as well as the long time fans (like myself) with limited amount of time, I think this set works very well and certainly will not break your bank either, Do not hesitate if you fall into one of these 2 categories. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I bought this collection a couple of years ago when I realized I was interested in getting into Bach but wasn’t really sure where to start. One nice feature of the set is that each disc has a different theme. One disc is mostly concertos, another is solos/partitas, one is mostly religious material, one is mostly organ works, etc. I don’t guarantee that you will love all of the discs. What I learned from this disc is that Bach really had a lot of styles and I know I really prefer the concertos, for example, over the solo organ pieces. Still, for only $20, even if you only LOVE two of the discs and find the others tolerable, this is a good purchase. |
