classical music: selections     classical music:       Verdi without Words: Grand Opera for Orchestra6 reviews Giuseppe Verdi, Erich Kunzel, ... Telarc, 1995 HIGHLY RECOMMEDED..... I LIKE OPERA WITHOUT THE WORDS AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE PURCHASED LATELY (AND I HAVE BOUGHT MANY LATELY). CARMAN WITHOUT WORDS IS ALSO VERY ENJOYABLE, AS ARE ALL THE "OPERA WITHOUT WORDS" CDS OUT TODAY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CD TO ADD TO ANY COLLECTION OF CLASSICAL MUSIC..             The Ultimate Recorder Collection6 reviews Malcolm Arnold, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... RCA, 1999 The sublime collection I must confess up front to being a Michala Petri fanatic. I also play the recorder, although after listening to this album, I feel like throwing my instruments into the nearest dumpster. Michala Petri is a national hero in Denmark, and a recognized name among classical music fans in Europe, Asia, and Canada. If you listen to this album, you will ask yourself how the music business in the USA ...             Copland: Rodeo/Billy The Kid6 reviews Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, ... Sony, 1990 For Rodeo alone, this beats the competition hands down Leonard Bernstein's Columbia recording of Copland's "Rodeo" with the New York Philharmonic, made in 1960 still beats the competition hands down for sheer excitement and power. Lenny's "Buckaroo Holiday" (I) is wonderful: very fast and spirited, and no holes barred, like riding a bucking bronco. When I first heard this recording on LP in 1974, I could hardly restrain myself, as it is not only ...             Bernstein Century - Copland: Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, etc / Bernstein, New York PO49 reviews Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, ... Sony, 1997 Cult recordings! Appalachian spring was first given by the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Artur Rodzinsky (October 4, 1945). According the very Copland, the music of the ballet takes as its point of departure the personality of Martha Graham. She borrowed it from the heading of one of hart Crane's poems, though the ballet seems to bear no relation to the text of the poem itself. Certainly, and ...             Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker Favorite Selections7 reviews Erich Kunzel, Cincinnati Pops Telarc, 2007 Nutcracker This CD is great to put my 14 month old princess to sleep every night along wih other lullaby CD's. I recomend this item for anyone especially mothers w/ small children.             Best of L.A.G.Q.6 reviews et al Aaron Copland (Composer) Delos Records, 1998 Recent Purchase that I'm Joyed to Find and Enjoy Not until recently did I know about this guitar four. Hearing a number of their songs on internet classical radio, I decided I'd try this one. What a great surprise --- their arrangements of Copeland to Sousa to Praetorius are excellent and in taste. I'll be venturing into their other works.             Copland: Appalachian Spring; Rodeo; Fanfare for the Common Man15 reviews Aaron Copland, Louis Lane, ... Telarc, 1990 beautiful work I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of this recording. I used to think that only Angel Records could produce such quality. The people who did the mixing made me feel like I was standing next to the conductor. Every solo instrument seemed to sound its best. I also liked the interpretation. I though it was traditional and being a tone poem I had no problem closing my eyes and ...             Copland: The Music of America10 reviews Aaron Copland, Erich Kunzel, ... Telarc, 1997 The title says it all Aaron Copland created classical music for about and by America. This extremely well performed and well selected album served as my true introduction to Copland's work. Vibrant,dramatic, passionate and utterly beautiful, this sampler of Copland's oevre really captivates the listener. I have lost many hours listening to "Quiet City" and "Appalacian Spring" two breathtakingly poetic pieces that ...             The Copland Collection: Orchestral & Ballet Works, 1936-19486 reviews Benny Goodman, Aaron Copland, ... Sony, 1991 Aaron Copland: Populist and Conductor If you want a prime collection of Copland's more accessible works, this is it. Yes, it's true that Bernstein's recordings of individual pieces are often bolder and livelier; but this set offers the composer's own authoritative view of his work, and for that reason alone it is priceless. In addition, it includes virtually all the orchestral pieces he composed during his "populist phase," from El ...             Copland: Greatest Hits6 reviews Aaron Copland, Arthur Fiedler, ... RCA, 1991 Best Collection of Aaron Copland Aaron Copland is for me one of three of America's greatest composers of the 20th Century. Bernard Herrmann and Jerome Moross are the other two. Aaron Copland would have been 100 years old on November 14, 2000. In reflection I turn back to my first Copland album, "Copland's Greatest Hits." I was familiar as most people are with "Hoe Down" and that was the springboard for me. What attracted me was ...             Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker Favorite Selections2 reviews Erich Kunzel, Cincinnati Pops Telarc, 2007 SACD quality - the real thing! This is an SACD recorded live and a true DSD. You could not want for more unless your system is not up to par with true sound reproduction!             Aaron Copland: Billy the Kid and Rodeo Suite; Ferde Grofé:Grand Canyon Suite7 reviews Aaron Copland, Ferde Grofe, ... RCA, 1993 Superb recordings of American classics. I thoroughly agree with all other reviewers (though I wish some would spell Copland's name right!) Morton Gould conducts with great verve and sensitivity. "Rodeo" is terrific and it also includes the seldom heard "Honky-Tonk Interlude" which is a delight in itself. The Grand Canyon Suite is a highlight with its marvellous orchestration and melodic richness. Although the score is influenced by a ...             First Steps in Classical Music: Keeping the Beat1 review Johannes Brahms, Aaron Copland, ... Gia Publications, 2001 great CD This CD is great, my son Noah and I listen to it in the car and although he is only 12 months he gets excited when I turn it on. Andrea             Aida, told by Leontyne Price ~ with selection from the Verdi Opera5 reviews Giuseppe Verdi, London Symphony Orchestra, ... RCA, 2000 THE AIDA HIGHLIGHTS DISC TO OWN! Compiling selections from the 1970 Price/Domingo/RCA recording with recently-recorded narrations, read by Miss Price from her popular storybook, make this one THE Aida Highlights recording to get. Althrought there is a budget disc of the highlights of the very same recording, it'll never match this one for sure!             Choreography By Balanchine / Tzigane, Andante from Divertimento No 15, The Four Temperaments, Selections from ...8 reviews New York City Ballet, George Balanchine Nonesuch, 2004 a dream come true PBS: Great Performances > Dance In America > Choreography by Balanchine >: Parts 1 and 2 of 4 (1977) I saw some of this series on TV back in 1978. I was awe-striken. I was a twenty-year fan of Stravinsky's music already and impressed by the composer's high opinion of this dance master (Mr. B). Seeing it for myself (being unable to go to NYC and actually attend) was totally thrilling and ...             A Copland Celebration Vol. 15 reviews Aaron Copland, Michael Winfield, ... Sony, 2000 The composer as conductor is unusurpassed This is a reissue of recordings conducted by Copland himself that are totally definitive and, to my mind, superior to the recordings by Bernstein that are generally considered to be the best. The composer has a broader, grander vision of these works, taking them at a slower and more majestic pace than Bernstein and others. In his hands this is great classical music, not just upscale cowboy ...             A Box of Sousa2 reviews John Philip Sousa, Timothy Foley Altissimo Records, 2001 A Box Of Brilliance Brilliant is a good word for this set of must have band classics, all of these songs are as american as apple pie. Its a must have for any true patriot or band lover. Sousa is the Motzart of the marchign band world and truly this capture so much more than any other collection.             Drive Time: Route 661 review Elmer Bernstein, Aaron Copland, ...

The bulk of the selections were composed by Leonard Bernstein. However, other composers such as John Kander, Max Steiner, Aaron Copland, Stephen Sondheim, Henry Mancini, and John Williams are also included on this collection. All of the ...             Rodgers: Slaughter on Tenth Avenue8 reviews Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, ... RCA, 1997 It's a starry, moonlit night in 50's Manhattan.... ...And this album is the perfect soundtrack to it. In this compilation are the creme de la creme of modern nocturnal classical pieces, with the exception of Khatchaturian's Sabre Dance.
