EMI Classics, 2002 An excellent set now as a compilation. This is a great set of Rachmaninov recordings, which until recently could only be bought in pieces. EMI deserves praise for making these worthy performances, under direction of Mariss Jansons, available in a box set. Not only as a recording accomplishment but on ...             Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7 Dmitry Shostakovich, Valery Gergiev, ... Philips, 2003 fantastic new account of the famous wartime symphony This live performance and recording of Shostakovich's 7th Symphony is superb -- Gergiev conducts the combined Kirov and Rotterdam orchestras, live in Rotterdam just a week after 9/11/01. It has been widely acclaimed as the definitive recording of the 7th, as Valery ...             Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" Dmitry Shostakovich, Yuri Temirkanov, ... RCA, 1996 A garish, shallow work that gets a great performance The Seventh is one of Shostakovich's "patriotic" (i.e., pro-Soviet) symphonies, along with the Eleventh and Twelfth. At this remove in history, they all smell a bit, but the Seventh, which memorializes the siege of Leningrad in WW II, won wide approval when it was ...             Prokofiev: Romeo And Juliet, Op. 64 Sergey Prokofiev, Valery Gergiev, ... Polygram Records, 1991 From the review in Gramophone This Russian recording was made in the Kirov Theatre in Leningrad and has the fullness and amplitude characteristic of the finest western recordings, not surprising, as the recording team was from Philips. The orchestral playing, too, is superb by any international ...             Rostropovich, Master Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, Frederic Chopin, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2002 Rostropovich at 75 - A Look Back To celebrate the 75th year of the birth of cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, the various labels he recorded with over his illustrious career have issued several excellent collections. EMI outdid themselves by issuing, among other sets, the breathtaking 13-CD box set "The ...             Shostakovich: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 7 Dmitry Shostakovich, Leonard Bernstein, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1989 Incredible performance This review focuses mostly on the 7th Symphony. About nine years ago, I acquired my first recording of this symphony, which got me into this work for the first time. Its effect kind of wore off after about a few years, though, as I grew more into Shostakovich's other ...             Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" Dmitry Shostakovich, Mstislav Rostropovich, ... Apex, 2002 From Leningrad To Washington The Seventh Symphony of Dmitri Shostakovich, named "Leningrad" in honor of the city where the composer was holed up in 1941 during the Nazi invasion of Russia while composing the work, is almost certainly the longest and largest symphony ever created by a Russian ...             Ultimate Tchaikovsky Guy Fouquet, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... Decca, 2007 Tchaikovsky at his best for "everyman" Of course, you can't talk about "Ultimate edition" of Tchaikovsky's music with only 5-CD-Box, but what you get for this price (now for unbelievable 11 USD!), is the most basic and popular of his great work - and all that in great artistic and sound quality! My personal ...             Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos. 4, 5, 6 "Pathetique" Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Yevgeny Mravinsky, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1990 From the review in Gramophone "These stereo recordings are classics of the gramophone, landmarks not just of Tchaikovsky interpretation, but of recorded orchestral performances in general. The Leningrad Philharmonic play like a wild stallion, only just held in check by the willpower of its master. ...             Romantic Cello Gregor Piatigorsky, Janos Starker, ... RCA, 2000 Nice collection of works for the cello Overall, this is a nice collection of previously recorded romantic cello works. While the album art leans heavily towards the "love" side of romance, the music does come from the Romantic period and early 20th century. To quote the liner notes: "This collection ...             Shostakovich: Symphony No. 8 Dmitry Shostakovich, Yevgeny Mravinsky, ...

Palexa Records, 2005 A lionhearted performance I concur with the earlier reviewer. This concert shows what Horowitz can do without the stigma of the mass media rigth on top of him, as evident in the Moscow performance (as good as that was). He is absolutely in tip-top shape with the Scarlatti sonatas too. ...             Shostakovich: Symphonies 4-9 "The War Symphonies" Dmitry Shostakovich, Valery Gergiev, ... Philips, 2005 Excellent performances, but no bargain We'll pass over how anyone stretches the term "war symphony" to include three works written in the 30s and one written after the war ended. Gergiev's are among the best modern recordings of Sym. #4, #5, #7, and #9. I was decidedly less impressed by Sym. #8, which was ...             Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 1; Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" Dmitry Shostakovich, Leonard Bernstein, ...
