Consistently and superbly musical
There is little more one could ask for in these buoyant, dramatic, glowing and felicitous performances by cellist Lynn Harrell and pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy. They simply take off because of their marvelously unforced style of play, which at various moments can be ...

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover
Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a ...

Fine Beethoven Chamber Works
These CDs are discs 3 & 4 of the complete piano trios of Beethoven. They were recorded from 1979 to 1984, and remastered and re-issued on EMI classics in 2004; I am surprised that this is the first review posted on Amazon. The major works on these CDs are the later ...

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 ...

It's better than three stars
I certainly cannot add any more than what the previous reviewer stated, but I do have something to say. I have an office job and like to listen to pleasant music while I work. I have listened to this CD quite a few times and have never found it to be dull or boring. ...

No brainer -- buy it!
This is a great and inexpensive introduction to the concerti of Sergei Prokofiev. And there's not a boring piece--or performance--in the box. I'm generally not a big Ashkenazy fan these days, but many of his earlier recordings were often very fine, and these are ...

Very fine performances of Rozsa's great concertos!
This is a tremendously beautiful violin concerto. It has endless lyrical melody, intense rhythm, bold orchestration, structural integration, and drama. This is the 3rd recording of the work, and I think this is the finest. Robert Mcduffie is a world top class ...

Definitive Beethoven Piano Trios!
Unfortunately there are only a handful of the Beethoven Complete Piano Trios on disc. Of those, these are by far the finest. I've purchased the set by Baremboim-Zukerman-DuPre several years ago, but found their performances to be a bit dry,conservative and uninvolved ...

really like it
This is the first classical cd I have ever bought. The two-disc album was a great price. I really love the performance of Lynn Harrell. I like the collection of Adagios because they are perfect to fall asleep to or study to.
Schubert: The Piano Trios

Decca, 1997
Performed with real gusto!
This recording of Schubert's two piano trios (the only two he wrote) is a real joy. Three masters of the trade provide a classy, lively, lyrical performance that is just full of enthusiasm and gusto (especially the B flat D898). I admit that I have not heard the two ...

Great Erwartung, OK Pierrot...
Contained on this Disc are two of Schoenberg's seminal expressionist works, Erwartung and Pierrot Lunaire. Erwartung, a "monodrama", is a terrifying emotional rollercoaster ride through a dark woods at night. Boulez and Janis Martin capture the essence of this piece ...

Looking for Intensity? Go Here.
This is a 57-minute collaboration of inspired string playing by two extraordinary musicians playing at the top of their games. Lynn Harrell shreds his normally buttoned-down approach and matches Kennedy's boiling bow bar for bar in this time-space voyage from French ...

This is THE version of the "Archduke" trio to have
This is just too beautiful to describe. There is also the 2CD set but if you are only interested in a 1 CD containing the best piano trios of Beethoven, this is IT.
Haydn, Vivaldi: Cello Concertos

Great value, a must-buy CD!
This was not my first choice; I was looking for a recording of the Haydn cello concertos and was not happy with what I had heard from other artists and the selections available. When I found this disc though, and saw that it had two Vivaldi concerti along with the ...
