The Legendary Enrico Caruso: 21 Favorite Arias
Georges Bizet
,
Gaetano Donizetti
, ...
RCA, 1990
A childhood memory
I do not really know Opera. I am writing this review because I remember hearing Caruso's voice coming from a seventy- eight on an old Victor gramophone in my paternal grandparents house. The power and lyric quality of the voice struck me so strongly especially in ...
The Legendary Segovia
Andres Segovia
,
Johann Sebastian Bach
, ...
EMI Classics, 1999
Exceptional guitar work
Segovia makes his brilliance shine on this compilation. You can't deny the musicianship in these early recordings that, if you are familiar with any of his later sessions, were never left behind. Buy it, you'll love it. I'm sure you'll be scouring for more Segovia to ...
Karajan: Legendary Decca Recordings
Herbert von Karajan
,
Wiener Philharmoniker
DG, 2008
A treasury of Karajan and the Vienna Phil. 1959-65
Decca has kept Karajan's opera recordings in print but been very sketchy wth his orchestral work for their label. Compared with his hundreds of releases for EMI and DG, Karajan made about a dozen hours of symphonic recordings for Decca in a brief span between 1959 and ...
The Legendary Trumpet Virtuosity of Rafael Mendez
Rafael Mendez
,
Leroy Anderson
, ...
Summit(Classical), 1995
"Today, I had the honor of becoming an American citizen"
This recording is fantastic in every way. Mendez is truly one of the greatest to ever pick up a trumpet. From the outstanding renditions of latin classics "Tico Tico", "La Virgen De Macarena" and "Mexican Hat Dance" (which are all un-paralleled) to the flawless ...
Legendary Cantors
Jewish Traditional
Nimbus Records, 2000
historic recordings, great voices
The earliest recording on this CD is from 1907, with Gershon Sirota (1874-1943) singing "Veshomru" with a power that age cannot diminish; the quality of the sound, as with the other tracks on this CD, is amazingly clear, with digital recordings from the original 78 rpm ...
Serkin: The Legendary Recordings
Ludwig van Beethoven
,
Johannes Brahms
, ...
Sony, 1991
more!
To be frank, I have never heard this CD-set (yet). But I heard and enjoyed immensely the separate LP records some years ago. Rudolf Serkin was one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, and was especially brilliant in... Mozart, Schumann, Brahms and Beethoven ...

Nvc Arts, 2002
I really enjoyed this!
I really enjoyed Teldec's DVD, "The Art of Conducting: Legendary Conductors of a Golden Era," which features excellent footage and information about conductors Wilhelm Mengelberg, Erich Kleiber, Charles Munch, Wilhelm Furtwangler, Sergiu Celibidache,and Evgeny ...
Segovia Collection (Vol. 1): The Legendary Andres Segovia in an All-Bach Program
Johann Sebastian Bach
,
Andrés Segovia
Mca, 1990
Segovia Is THE Master
Perhaps some of today's best classical guitarists have surpassed Segovia's pure technical ability, but the warmth and spirituality that Segovia brings to his playing will forever remain unsurpassed. In this particular CD, Segovia(he was very much a Bach specialist) ...
Martha Argerich Plays Chopin: The Legendary 1965 Recording
Frederic Chopin
EMI Classics, 1999
Staggering virtuosity
These Chopin recordings of Martha Argerich from 1965 are an example of staggering virtuosity of the highest order. She is one of the few pianists I've heard that could rival Michelangeli for technical ability(though both could be erractic at times, with the Italian ...
Three Legendary Tenors (Caruso, Gigli, Bjorling)
Enrico Caruso
,
Jussi Bjorling
Kultur Video, 2003
Absorbing Documentary
This is an absolutely wonderful look into the lives of the "original" Three Tenors. Some complaints that I have are that they don't have enough footage of the three tenors performing (especially Bjorling) and the sound quality of Gigli and Caruso is mediocre at best. ...
Earl Wild's Legendary Rachmaninoff Song Transcriptions
Sergey Rachmaninov
,
Earl Wild
Ivory Classics, 2004
This is gold mine
This is a gold mine of wonderful melodies, beautifully transcribed and played by Earl Wild. Some of the transcriptions available from Wild was just too hard to play. Regrettably, CD's of these beautiful songs themselves can not be found on Amazon in the original ...

St Olaf Records, 1997
MUSIC OF MY CHILDHOOD
Having been a child in another age, I grew up listening to Mr. Dawson's music...as well as singing same in the school chorus. This music is not nearly sung enough today!

This is the first time I have reveiwed anything and I am not at all an expert--but this is especially beautiful ( although the Cd The Legendary Segovia which I got at the same time as this one has grown on me--this did not HAVE TO "grow on" me--These two are only my ...
