classical music: Martin Gatt     classical music:     Martin Gatt      Vivaldi: Concertos Martin Gatt, Kenneth Heath, ... Decca, 1990 Nice Vivaldi Collection This collection of Vivaldi Concertos is an excellent purchase for someone who loves "The Four Seasons" and wants to buy a second Vivaldi CD. Conductor Neville Marriner (not Norman Nelson as is indicated above) and the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields turn in first ...             Khachaturian: Gayne (Complete Ballet); Selections from Spartacus; Masquerade Suite Martin Gatt, Tom Kelly, ... RCA, 2005 Best out there for now Yes, this recording does sound a little "off" thanks to RCA's questionable job at remastering the original vinyl recordings. However, I still prefer this recording (75% of Gayaneh's original music) over the one issued by Vox (complete 2nd version) with Kakhidze and the ...             Janacek: Sinfonietta Op60; Taras Bulba, rhapsody Martin Gatt, Antony Pay, ... London, 1997 Everyone should have this recording of the Sinfonietta! I am only commenting on the Sinfonietta. Mackerras is unexcelled in one of my ultimate pieces. The Vienna Phil would seem intuitively all wrong for this music, but Mackerras transforms the glowing tone of this great orchestra such that it totally serves the music. ...             Ultimate Handel Gwynne Howell, Martin Gatt, ... Decca, 2007 The genius of splendour and dignity What a marvellous set of CD's! This is far from mere budget music. The performances are brilliant (I am not kidding - the organ concerto's are actually first class, the Coronation Anthems are grand and spacious in their treatment, and the Op.3 Concerti crisp...just ...             Vivaldi: The Four Seasons Martin Gatt, Antonio Vivaldi, ... Decca, 2006 Still a great performance Long, long ago...before there were a shelf full of recordings of this work, this was the recording that captured my heart. I used to manage a small record store - and I'd give a money back guarantee to anyone buying this recording. It still is a fine performance - ...             Vivaldi Adagios Martin Gatt, Anner Bylsma, ... Decca, 1999 Celestial beauty, magnificent recording Although no longer a professional musician, I listen to classical music constantly, and unlike many of my former colleagues, I greatly enjoy listening to collections of movements from different pieces. Some of these collections work better than others, and having ...             Ultimate Vivaldi: The Essential Masterpieces Martin Gatt, Denis Vigay, ... Decca, 2007 Simultaneously soothing and inspiring I've long had some Vivaldi as part of my portable collection of music. Purchasing this set of 5 CDs is my first step towards increasing this collection. I'm particularly enjoying the guitar and cello concertos. For me, this is music that simultaneously soothes ...             Janácek: Chamber Music & Orchestral Works Richard Novak, Brian Wightman, ... Decca, 2004 An Excellent Value The five-star rating for this set is at least in part because it is a splendid bargain. Not every performance is the ultimate: Paul Crossley's piano playing is very fine but it doesn't banish the memory of Firkusny or Schiff. And there are better recordings of the ...             Bach: St. John Passion Martin Gatt, Kenneth Heath, ... Decca, 1995 SUBLIME I resisted buying and then listening to this version of one of my favorite pieces of choral music. Why? Firstly, I already own 2 other fine versions and I thought that a translation into English from German would distort what Bach had wanted. I was wrong: if ...             Vivaldi: The Four Seasons / Marriner, Academy of SMF Martin Gatt, Antonio Vivaldi, ... Decca, 2000 best in a crowded field I respectfully disagree with the criticisms voiced by other reviewers (this is the same recording as the Penguin Classics version listed separately on Amazon). I have heard many versions of Vivaldi's masterpiece, and in my opinion this is as fine as any I have heard, ...             Vivaldi: WIND CONCERTOS Martin Gatt, Kenneth Heath, ... Philips, 1999 Good value for money! For those who wanna know more about Vivaldi, I recommend this CD! It's a great CD. Not only is the recording fantastic, the artists performing are also great! Matin Gatt's interpretation of Concerto in A minor is simply enchanting. I feel that the way he plays, is the ...             Elgar:Symphony No.1/Romance/Overture Edward Elgar, Daniel Barenboim, ... Sony, 1994 Good, But Go For Boult Sony Essential Classics has become my favorite classical CD line -- great performances by virtuoso musicians and conductors at budget prices. I owe much of that to my local library, where years ago I began my classical self-education. The librarian in the music ...             Bach, Handel: Solo Cantatas, etc. Martin Gatt, Kenneth Heath, ... EMI Classics, 2001 Profoundly moving. Unqualifiedly recommended. The Bach cantatas on this disc are both unusual. "Ich habe genug" is usually sung by baritones, but Bach's intentions as shown in the autograph score are less than clear: the autograph begins for soprano, but the first movement is not completed; the second version of ...             Mozart: Wind Concertos; Sernade K 361 Martin Gatt, Thea King, ... EMI Classics, 2006 Barenboim could be livelier, but his wind soloists are excellent At 25, Barenboim was already an acclaimed Mozartean in 1967 when he made this excellent Sinfonia Concertante K. 297 with the English Chamber Orch. The work itself is not as fine as the better known Sinfonia Concertante K. 364 for violin and viola, but it's charming on ...             Prokofiev: Overture on Hebrew Themes John Orford, Martin Gatt, ...
