Telarc, 1990 Musical Catnip This is one of my favorite CDs. Being a cellist and particularly susceptible to melancholy music anyway, this CD is like catnip to me. I've performed the Tallis Fantasia and bought and listened to numerous performances of it- including the Penguin Guide's top recommendation- but no performance I've ever heard comes anywhere close to this one in terms of ensemble playing, musical conviction and ...             John Knowles Paine: Mass In D4 reviews John Cheek, John Knowles Paine, ... New World Records, 1992 A great work by a neglected great American Clearly, John Knowles Paine composed this Mass in D after studying Beethoven's great Mass in D. The resemblances in text treatment and musical structure of these two works make this obvious. Of course, Paine's mass is inferior to Beethoven's masterpiece. Still, it is a beautiful achievement. Even as a young, inexperienced composer, Paine is inspired with fresh and expressive music for the ...             25 Mozart Favorites21 reviews John Sant'Ambrogio, George Silfies, ...

Telarc, 2004 Wonderful Works for Orchestra This Telarc SACD is a reissue of some of Leonard Slatkin and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra's recordings of some orchestral favorites that originally appeared on Two separate CDs. They were recorded back in the early days of digital recording, using the Soundstream System. Unfortunatly the CD could not recreate the full sound being recorded, but the SACD can finally bring us the full ...             Classics for All Seasons (Box Set)1 review John Sant'Ambrogio, Johann Michael Bach, ... Telarc, 1994 Best of the best! I first purchased "Classics for All Seasons: Winter" as a personal Christmas gift. If a CD could be worn out, I would have done so. Not only are these excellent performances of favorites, the variety of the selections saves the listener from a monotony of only choral/instumental pieces. I was delighted to find the complete BOX SET to add Spring, Summer, and Autumn to my CD carousel. The ...             Chamber Music for Winds1 review George Berry, John Sant'Ambrogio, ... Vox (Classical), 1992 One of the best Brahms Quintet Recordings available Many do not know of this recording, which was made years ago. It is with George Silfies, former Principal Clarinet of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. This is one of the most musical sets of performances that is available, especially those performances that include the clarinet. I highly recommend this recording!             Classics for All Seasons: Autumn John Sant'Ambrogio, Samuel Barber, ... Telarc, 1993             Tchaikovsky: The Ballets [Box Set]2 reviews John Sant'Ambrogio, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... RCA, 2003 Contains the Best Recording of Swan Lake Available This 6-CD set of Tchaikovsky's 3 ballets contains the very best recording of the complete Swan Lake available. Antal Dorati was the best Tchaikovsky conductor, especially when it came to his ballets. His recording of Sleeping Beauty with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is still the best one ever recorded. He also recorded the Nutcracker twice, both versions oustanding. However he only recorded ...             Leonard Bernstein: Serenade: William Schuman: Violin Concerto John Sant'Ambrogio, Leonard Bernstein, ...

It's Tchaikovsky at his greatest, and this interpretation of his ballet music is unparalled. It's so poignantly performed, and all four acts are amazing with the full orchestra that you can almost see the ballet as you listen. I'd know this version immediately if I heard it anywhere! I've listened to this 2-disc "Swan Lake" all my life, and now that it's beginning to skip, I'm going to get ...             William Bolcom: Symphony No. 4; Session 11 review George Berry, John Sant'Ambrogio, ... New World Records, 1992 The clearest delivery of a text William Bolcom's fourth Symphony is a wonderful piece of music. It is huge, diverse and wonderfully focused. The most notable thing about it is the setting of the text of Roethke's poem "The Rose", a description of a mystical experience of the integration of memory, present experience and maybe the whole universe. Bolcom's music is an extension of the poem, much more than just a setting. ...             25 Mozart Favorites21 reviews John Sant'Ambrogio, George Silfies, ...

Telarc, 2003             Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake1 review John Sant'Ambrogio, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... RCA, 1994 Fine recording Dorati + Swan Lake = magic (even in mono on Mercury with Minneapolis). Slatkin + Swan Lake = fine performance. But the orchestral playing is the real star here, leaving many a recorded version, including Dorati (and esp. Abravanel's) totally in the dust. I can listen to this just to wallow in the string tone. I wish Slatkin had brought just a tiny bit more to the score; then this would be a ...             Vaughan Williams: Fantasia On A Theme by Thomas Tallis / Barber: Adagio For Strings / Grainger: Irish Tune ...
