classical music: rococo     classical music:       Bolling: Picnic Suite8 reviews Claude Bolling Sony, 1990 Superbly inventive, beautifully recorded Claude Bolling's astonishing "Picnic Suite" is a superbly inventive, beautifully recorded album of music that's somewhere in between jazz and classical. It's hard to describe, but it's absolutely addictive. The opening song, "Rococo," starts out with a prim, rather strict classical structure, then slouches easily into a warmer, more jazz-tinged mood. Jean-Pierre Rampal's flute playing flits ...             Dvorák Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104; Bruch Kol Nidrei; Tchaikovsky Variations on a Rococo Theme / ...1 review Antonin Dvorak, Max Bruch, ... Philips, 2005 Should be in everyone's library The iconic piece for cello played by the cello icon. 3-channel SACD--not surround sound, but a quantum leap better than the best CDs.             Sergei Nakariakov - No Limit11 reviews Camille Saint-Saens, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... Teldec, 2000 best classical trumpet CD ever I am professional Jazz trumpet player, and this is the most amazing trumpet playing I have ever heard. If anyone has any aspirations as a trumpet player,(whether classical or jazz), you need to own this CD. Sergei Nakariakov's flugelhorn playing has one of the most beautiful and musical sounds I have ever heard,             Tchaikovsky At Tea Time: A Refreshing Blend For Body And Spirit9 reviews Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Neville Marriner, ... Philips, 1996 Tchaikovsky and Tchai I wondered what do Tchaikovsky and Tea have in common, and then I remembered that in many countries across the world - the word for tea is "tchai". That aside, yes, this is a refreshing blend of music, perfect for tea time - relaxing and reviving at the same time, and quite a bit dreamy.             Prokofiev: Sinfonia Concertante / Tchaikovsky: Variations on a Rococo Theme; Andante Cantabile5 reviews Sergey Prokofiev, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... Sony, 1992 Everything Ma Touches Turns To Gold Is there such a thing as a bad Yo-Yo Ma album? The virtuoso who has recently brought us such eclectic recordings as "Simply Baroque" and "Appalachian Journey," here shows us his mastery of Prokofiev's Symphony Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, or "Sinfonia Concertante." While I don't have any other recordings of this piece to compare to this one, suffice it to say that this performance is ...             Norwegian Wood5 reviews George Harrison, John Lennon, ... RCA, 1995 'Norwegian Wood' the BEST Beatles tribute album ever! Danish insturmentalists Trio Rococo's absolutely stunning and beautiful 1995 album "Norwegian Wood" is one of those hidden treasures, a diamond in the rough, waiting to be discovered by YOU. Simply, it is the best Beatles tribute album ever. For any fan of string/woodwinds, insturmental trios, and the Beatles of course, this is absolutely an ESSENTIAL album to have. Stunning arrangements of such ...             Mstislav Rostropovich plays Great Works for Cello and Orchestra1 review Antonio Vivaldi, Giuseppe Tartini, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1994 That sad and naturally expressive quality... With the possible exeption of Yo-Yo Ma, the great Mstislav Rostropovich is about the greatest cellist of our time. He plays in the great and sad Russian tradition; very soulful and expressive. The pieces on these CDs also feature such outstanding collaborating conductors as Karajan, Ozawa and Bernstein. There are several Baroque pieces which are done very nicely with adequate "verve". Of ...             Dvorák: Cello Concerto; Tchaikovsky / Karajan, Rostropovich,34 reviews Antonin Dvorak, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 rostropovich - Rostropovich - ROSTROPOVICH !!! I had the pleasure of hearing Mstislav's playing of Tchaikovsky's "Rococo variations" on NYC's WQXR. Truth be told I was late for a meeting because I had to stay in my car listening to Mstislav's playing; and I have no regrets! I listened to Rococo repeatedly before I turned to Dvorak's "Cello concerto", and SLAM DUNK! WOW!!! The disk has not been taken out of my CD player since...             Harnoy Collection 3 Ofra Harnoy RCA, 1996             Dvorák: Cello Concerto in B minor, Op.104; Max Bruch: Kol Nidrei; Tchaikovsky: Variations on a Rococo Theme5 reviews Antonin Dvorak, Max Bruch, ... Mercury, 1990 When the heights become the expected There's no reason to go into a long song and dance about Starker and Dorati here--the recordings are so famous and so coveted by collectors on original vinyl, that they're bound to make a perfect CD reissue. And they do. Starker and Dorati's LSO strings have a thing going here--they match their attacks stylistically in superb ensemble--there's just a little bit of resin, of gut, on strings ...             Galante Kurzweyl - Dances From Renaissance Baroque & Rococo (Hanssler)2 reviews John Playford, Pierre Attaingnant, ... Hanssler Classics, 2002 Excellent Recording This is one of the few excellent recordings of early music I've heard. Ensmble Buon Tempo really captures the tone, tempo, and precision that is so lacking in many early music groups today. They do not add needless embellishment or experimentation with pieces that beautiful pieces in themselves.             Gala3 reviews Tchaikovsky, Norman, ... RCA, 1991 Several Definitive Performances. One of my favorite albums. I have never heard a better performance of the two songs, and the aria from Jeanne D'Arc is absolutely flawless, makes one wonder why the opera itself is not more popular. This electric performance of the Rococo Variations is the best I've heard by Yo-Yo Ma or any other performer for that matter. Itzhak Perlman shines with glorious legato in the Serenade Melancolique. ...             Ernesto Lecuona: The Complete Piano Music, Volume 51 review Ernesto Lecuona, Thomas Tirino, ... Bis, 1999 The best Lecuona series out there Phenomenal-This disc really blew me away. Tirino's other discs in this series on the BIS label were extraordinary-but here he tackles for his final volume some of the popular elements of Lecuona's compositional style, and surpasses all expectations. WOW! Such Cuban style in his playing, the arrangements, and playing of others-the first three Afro-Cuban Dances made me want to dance. I recommend ...             Tchaikovsky: Rococo / Prokofiev: Sinfonia1 review Gautire Capucon, Valery Gergiev Virgin Classics, 2010 Lovely playing, but the two works are minor and banal, respectively Pity the poor cellist, who has only a smidgeon of popular repertoire compared to violinists. This shortage has forced star cellists to become extremely ingenious, none more so than Yo-Yo Ma. Behind the romantic cover photo of Gautier Capucon (not to mention a romantic name) we encounter two marginal residents of the cello playbook. The Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations are timid to the point of ...             Tchaikovsky: Rococo Variations; Nocturne; Andante Cantabile; Romances Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Constantine Orbelian, ... Warner Classics, 2005             Han-Na Chang ~ Debut Recording - Tchaikovsky · Saint-Saëns · Fauré · Bruch / LSO · Rostropovich13 reviews Camille Saint-Saëns, Max Bruch, ... EMI Classics, 1996 Wonderful playing Han-Na Chang plays all of these pieces so beautifully. Her sound is so lovely it's practically painful. It's wonderfully played, both beautiful and nice sounding all at once. While every piece on this CD is spectacular, Kol Nidrei by Bruch is my favorite, because Chang gets the sound across so beautifully in that piece. Every other song (the concerto, the variations, etc.) is just as amazing, but ...             Soler: Quintets 3, 4 & 5 for Harpsichord, 2 Violins, Viola & Cello - Concerto Rococo Antonio Soler, Jean-Patrice Brosse, ...

There are not enough stars in Amazon's system to do justice to these miraculous performances. The Schumann, though abreviated, is sublime. (The same forces recorded the complete work a few years later.) It is truly a legendary performance. But, for me, the thing here is the Arensky performed with his friend Harold Bauer. Some great performances announce themselves within the first few ...             Tchaikovsky, Boellmann, Lalo, Saint-Saëns: Works for Cello & Orchestra1 review Igor Stravinsky, Modest Mussorgsky Vox (Classical), 1992 Wrong title, wrong listing Beware! Tchakovsky, Boellmann Works for Cello & Orchestra shares a stock number with a disc of Russian piano works. They are not the same cd. Amazon has been informed of this problem, but has yet to correct the data. So you have no idea if you're going to be shipped the Vox disc of Brendel playing Mussorgsky and Stravinsky, or the Turnabout disc of Vargas playing the cello works.
