Donohoe hits another Litolff homerun.
This is a second cd completing Donohoe's recording of all of the four remaining Litollf piano concertos. While I already greatly enjoyed the previous issue, I prefer the current Nrs. 3 and 5 over 2 and 4. The third concerto is subtitled National Hollandais. As a Dutch ...

Best Classical CD bargain on Amazon, IMHO
I'm surprised this CD isn't displayed on the Classical Blowout store. Perhaps it's *too* good a bargain? I purchased this CD for one piece: The Story Of The Kalandar Prince. My children and I love this work, as it is orchestrated like a story ("tone poem" is the ...

Outstanding
I love the violin and this collection is one of my favorites. A great choice for someone like me who doesn't know enough about music and never knows what to buy. It has introduced me to some artists and pieces that I knew nothing about and will help me know what to ...

So I'm just learning violin...
and I can not play like Joshua Bell. For this, he better consider himself damn lucky as the world could not handle two of us Joshua Bells. This was my first exposure to this phenom. Sorry, I had never heard of him until I got my first issue of STRINGS magazine and ...

Bolero aside, sheer perfection
I do not like Bolero. I have never liked Bolero. I don't think I will ever enjoy Bolero. I say this only to offer a reason for my lack of mention of that piece (beyond this, obviously). In fairness, Ravel at least once described Bolero as trivial, "a piece for ...

Everything remembered and wanted on strings
To me, it is an extraordinary combination demonstarting the old world beauty and timeless artistry of the violin. It will take you back to everything good remembered, and forward to everything good ahead of us.

Soothing sounds for unborn baby
This product is wonderful and i would recommend it to anybody who is expecting a baby. It can be used also later on when the baby is born of course so it is a never-ending beautiful piece of music.

The Romantic Piano Concerto 14 - Litolff
Henry Litolff
, Andrew Litton, ...
Hyperion UK, 1997
Lively Litolff.
Just like his "fellow L" Liadov, whose musical snuff box is a popular encore, Litolff is world famous for a single piece, the Scherzo of his 4th piano concerto, while the rest of his prolific output has sunken into obscurity. Yet, especially Litolff's piano concertos ...

Hamelin Triumphs Again
Somehow this issue got past me when it was released. I usually get everything Marc-André Hamelin records immediately after it comes out; this time a whole month went by! But it's never too late and I was certainly delighted to come by this release from January 2004. ...

A great talent
These works couple very interesting works by Tavener with the ever popular "Lark Asending" by Vaughan Williams. These pieces are perfectly matched and the coupling was a great idea. The violinist is wonderful and has great expression. She is an amazing talent and I ...

This entire series of discs is really great...centered around a theme ("Book Lovers," "Lazy Afternoons," "When You're Alone,")each CD is full of beautifully done instrumentals that, interestingly enough, really do catch the spirit of the title. I particularly like this ...
