Grieg: Peer Gynt Suites 1 & 2; Symphonic Dances1 review
Edvard Grieg, Hugo Alfven, ...

EMI Classics, 2002

Not just another Peer Gynt.

One of the finest versions of Peer Gynt on CD. A warm and idiomatic interpretation from a fellow Scandanavian, Conductor Paavo Berglund and the Bournemouth Symphony. The warm, highly atmospheric and Very realistically balanced Superb 1974 analog recording brings a glowing allure to this often ...
  
  











  



  
Stokowski - Rhapsodies3 reviews
Franz Liszt, George Enescu, ...

RCA Victor Europe, 1993

Phenominal!

+ absolutely recommend!
+ Great Performances!

This is the true essence of what made Leopold Stokowski famous. A rich, warm sound and 100% Romantic! The sound of the orchestra is absoultely extraordinary, despite an occassional "sloppy entrance". Yet while we have the ability to generate "computer accurate" music recordings, this is ...

The Classic Trumpet Concerti Of Haydn And Hummel1 review
Franz Joseph Haydn, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, ...

Delos Records, 1992

The best

The two great classical trumpet concertos, Haydn and Hummel, are often found on the same record. They were written for the same man, Anton Weidinger, court trumpeter of the Esterhazy family and inveterate tinkerer, seeking to improve the versatility of the natural trumpet. This involved sticking in ...
  
  











  



  
La Mer / Nocturnes5 reviews

DAZZLING DEBUSSY

+ Fabulous, Just Fabulous
+ Debussy's Greatest Impressionist Music On A Fab CD

Yet another incredible Laserlight release that boldly refutes the idea that a CD must be expensive to be good, or to warrant our attention. Max Pommer's Debussy is absolutely on the mark, top-notch, and the Leipzig RSO follows in total accord. La Mer has a grand sweep, a majesty; its three ...

Polygram Records, 1990

Dorati's Respighi milestone

+ The Italian Neo Classicism and his major musical Ambassador!

Dorati was always one of Respighi's biggest champions and it's too bad he didn't get around to recording more. This disk is a delight to have in Wilma Cozart's excellent rehab of her own original tapes. While the other works are among the best recordings of them made, it's the Brazilian ...

Cincinnatti Pops Orchestra with Erich KunZel as directer was just "Spectacular" as the title of this CD says "Symphonic Spectacular". This seller Shipped as they said they would. The CD case and disk was like buying new! Very pleased with their service. I would highly recommend Them!

Debussy--A True Miracle

+ Great Early Digital Recording!

I think the first review above is excellent. Debussy has always been my favorite composer, since I first heard Prelude To the Afternoon of a Faun when I was a sophmore in high school. Hearing it changed my life--I would never think or feel the same way again. I had listened to classical music ...

breathtaking

+ Addictive music

Having had this cd previously and worn it out; I was anxious and pleased to find another through Amazon and in such good condition. The pieces are so beautiful and beautifully played. My favorite piece, however, is Albinoni's Adagio (track 14); so simple but spectacular. The organ with the ...
