David Zinman Conducts the Beethoven Symphonies
In our skeptical age, Beethoven's nine symphonies have been subjected to a degree of cavil and criticism in an attempt to shake the hold they have exercised over many generations of lovers of music. But, regardless of these attempts, in their grandeur, passion, ...

Not A Music Critic ... But A Lover Of All Music ...
Let's not be too harsh regarding this CD. I purchased this as my first baby step into the classical genre and it absolutely made me fall in love with classical music and appreciate it in a way I never could when people tried to make me like it. It is such a wide ...

Truly, one of the finest and most distinctive
All my life I've collected recordings of the Beethoven Concerto for violin and orchestra. I know of no greater, more eloquent, melodic and memorable piece of music for the violin. This recording swept me off my feet. The pacing is hynotic, the tone is gorgeous, the ...

Wonderful selection, but not really dancing music
I agree that this is indeed absolutely beautiful light classical music. It is indeed a perfect beginning to a lifelong passion to have classical music playing in the background or to turn up the volume and immerse yourself in it. But it consists of mostly ballet ...

Exquisite collection & performances, unbelievable value!!!
"Over 2 l/2 hours of the world's most beautiful music." These words on the cover are very close to true. What an incredible value this collection is!! So many of these compilations of this sort are cheaply produced, and those "greatest hits" collections are one ...

The best Chopin you can buy
The most sensitive piano playing I've ever heard. My wife likes it too.

A Match Made in Heaven
Bell and Bernstein seem made for each other as one can hear in this wonderful recording. Bell's playing somehow is absolutely "right" in it's evocation of Bernstein's spirit and no more so than in the "West Side Story" suite. Special mention should go to Brohn (the ...

A Grand symphonic adventure
This album provides a quick exposure to some of the best movements in the best symphonies. Many of the tracks will sound familiar. They are played well and have good sound quality. As a novice musician, i have great appreciation for it.

The very best of Minimalist Classical works!
I can hardly say enough good things about Henryk Gorecki: Symphony 3 "Sorrowful Songs". Here are the essential details along with my personal evaluation of the overall work. Soprano: Dawn Upshaw Orchestra: London Sinfonietta Conductor: David Zinman Overview ...

The Barber alone is worth five stars
People are always saying that they find a particular piece of music is "haunting." For me Barber's "Knoxville: Summer of 1915" is such a work. Dawn Upshaw's reading of this great American masterwork is the best I have yet heard. She won her first Grammy Award for ...

Lovely, accomplished, and astonishing!
This is a compendium of previously released material played by Hilary Hahn, master violinist. It's not often that one can recommend a particular Classical CD for both the Newbie and the Venerable Virtuoso as well, but in this case, I can joyfully do so without fear ...

Beethoven minus Romantic cobwebs
As in his remarkable Beethoven symphony cycle, Zinman and his Zurich orchestra allow the listener to hear the concerto from a fresh perspective; the cadenzas used by Christian Tetzlaff, Germany's finest violinist at present (yes, above Mutter - just compare their ...

Sparklingly original traditional music
I was privileged to hear the world premier of Karolju in 1991 and for years replayed it from a tape I recorded from a radio rebroadcast. I am delighted that Karolju has been recorded and is now commercially available; it deserves a wide audience. Karolju is a series ...

A great, great collection!
I was stunned to see only two and a half stars for romantic adagios. I don't know how much you get to know by listening to only one "song" out of so many in this collection, but in my opinion this CD collection deserves a lot of credit. I had heard of Samuel Barber's ...
