Capriccioso

Anne Martindale Williams, Maurice Gendron, ...

Philips, 1994

Superb Collection
This was my first Saint-Saëns CD, and I did not quite know what to expect. It was love at first hear(?!). An excellent collection, ranging from the humorous "Carnival of the Animals" to the serious Organ Symphony. If you are not familiar with Saint-Saëns, I would ...

Heifetz Showpieces

Ernest Chausson, Edouard Lalo, ...

RCA, 1997

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
Anything Heifetz ever recorded is sublime and this CD is no exception.

Dvorák: The Symphonies

Antonin Dvorak, Istvan Kertesz [conductor], ...

Decca, 1992

Brilliant in tragedy
These recordings are timeless. Never have I heard music so beautifully played or more rhythmically delineated.That these symphonies still sound so fresh (in spite of some heavy home grown Czech opposition) is a glowing tribute to the memory of Istvan Kertesz and the ...

Mendelssohn: Piano Concertos

Felix Mendelssohn, Neville Marriner, ...

Sony, 1990

A Legendary Recording
There are so many things that could be said about this recording. It deserves a spot on any top 50 classical recordings list. The piece and the performance are both 5 stars. Mendelssohn is an undeservingly neglected composer. He is ususally thought of as an ...

Sweet Sorrow

Tommaso Antonio Vitali, Fryderyk Chopin, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

Fantastic Album
This is a great album that I listen to over and over again. It really makes me feel... Sarah Chang is one of the greatest violin players and she has done a fabulous job on this album.

I have been a fan of sarah for a long time now...I live in hawaii and she came here to do a concert and i was just amazed then i became interested in her. This recording has everything, fabulous technique, amazing emotions, and it just melts your heart away. I am a ...

Saint-Saëns: Greatest Hits

Yo-Yo Ma, Michel Arrignon, ...

Sony, 1995

Astounding!!!
I have come accross very few CD's that have 74 minutes of music that I enjoy. This CD is one of those. Mason Jones does a great job on Morceau, everyone likes danse bachannalle, the piano concerto is great, it's just a really enjoyable CD to own. I recommend it ...

Saint-Saens: Introduction and Rondo capriccioso in Am; Danse macabre Op40

Camille Saint-Saens, Charles Dutoit, ...

Decca, 1992

nightmarish masterpiece
Saint Saens is highly underrated. His moribund, melodious music is just as grandoise as anything put out by Beethoven, and just as romantic as the works of Chopin. DANSE MACABRE itself is likely his most fantasticly dark symphony, comparable to such classic haunts ...

Itzhak Perlman - Greatest Hits ~ "Carmen" Fantasy · Havanaise · Poème · and more

Hector Berlioz, Ernest Chausson, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1993

A great violinist playing great music.
Itzhak Perlman demonstrates his mastery of the violin while playing Pablo de Saratate's 'Carmen Fantasy' on this CD.

György Ligeti Edition 3: Works for Piano (Etudes, Musica Ricercata) - Pierre-Laurent Aimard

Gyorgy Ligeti, Pierre-Laurent Aimard

Sony, 1997

Perfect Ligeti.
The own György Ligeti was asked about who was the pianist more complete in his piano works; he talked about Pierre-Laurent Aimard, whose a close relation with the XXth Century music is very well known (Boulez, Messiaen, Berg, Schönberg, Carter...) all around the world. ...

Itzhak Perlman with Zubin Mehta & the New York Philharmonic

Ernest Chausson, Maurice Ravel, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1990

I NEVER GOT MY ITEM, I'M NOT HAPPY!!
I have not received my item. The seller "buybacksdayton" has not even answered the three e-mails I have sent. I have sent an e-mail to Amazon too. I haven't heard from Amazon yet either. So, this is a bad subject! I wish I had the c.d. I paid for. So I could rate ...

Joshua Bell - Poème ~ Chausson · Massenet · Saint-Saëns · Ravel / RPO · Litton

Ernest Chausson, Jules Massenet, ...

Decca, 1992

The best perfomance of the Tzigane ever!
This is an excelent CD and along with the Barber/Walton got me hooked on Joshua Bell. 1. Intro. and Rondo Capriccioso: A great performance. One of the best I've heard. And I've heard several. 2. Meditation: The best performance I've heard, the original version. ...

DEBUT - Alisa Weilerstein & Vivian Hornik Weilerstein ~ Works for Cello and Piano

Niccolo Paganini, Antonin Dvorak, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

Florida Music Lover
I have been fond of the cello for years. I have enjoyed Casals even though he was somewhate austere. I love Rostropovich's tone and color but have felt that no one has ever played with the passion of Du Pre until I heard Weilerstein on, I believe, NPR when they ...

Sergei Nakariakov - No Limit

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 ...

Ligeti: Mechanical Music

Gyorgy Ligeti, Pierre Charial, ...

Sony, 1997

share Ligeti's fascination with mechanical things.
First off, I should inform you that Sony's Ligeti Edition series is being deleted so if you're interested in this stuff, you should pick up the ones you want as soon as you can. Ligeti Edition 5 is a good one. No, it's AWESOME. If you have any interest in "mechanical ...
