Classics from the Crypt
Johann Sebastian Bach, Hector Berlioz, ...

RCA, 1992

Not Just For Halloween Season!
This is a great CD of classical music with a spooky flavor. It is of course perfect for the Halloween season but can be used to good effect any time of the year. Many of the pieces will be very familiar as they are commonly used in movie and television scores to ...
  
  











  



  
Kapell Rediscovered
Thomas Arne, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

RCA, 2008

Are There Still More?
When I first listened to this recording (it came two days ago) I thought that Kapell's sound was agressive, (it is), he rushed (he does) and that his sense of proportion was often out of whack with what's really going on (sometimes it definitely is). But when all was ...
  
  











  



  
Art of Segovia
Andres Segovia

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Great Sound Quality; Great Value
The 24-bit remastering of these analog recordings from the 1950s and 60s is outstanding. Both disks are chock-full at almost 80 minutes each, and there are a good many songs you don't hear every day. Forty of the 41 tracks are solos, while a short Rodrigo orchestral ...

Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition, A Night on Bald Mountain, and Other Russian Showpieces [Hybrid SACD]
Modest Mussorgsky, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

RCA, 2004

A Classic Treasure
Conductor Fritz Reiner is unbelievably precise with the baton with just enough emotional fervor, energy, and commitment to rouse the phenomenal Chicago players of the late 1950's to one of the greatest compilations of a colorful Russian showcase. The Pictures is one ...
  
  











  



  
25 Thunderous Classics
Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ...

Vox (Classical), 2000

Good Music at a Great Price
I bought this CD mostly for "Entry of the Gladiators," which everyone will recognize as classic circus music. The performance on this CD (by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops) is the best available version of Entry of the Gladiators. The rest of the CD offers ...
  
  











  



  
Pictures at an Exhibition
Emerson Lake & Palmer, Kim Fowley, ...

Shout Factory, 2007

"The Sage" is Lake's best
I can't disagree more with the reviewer below regarding the insertion of ELP's own pictures into this gallery. Wanna get rid of "Nutrocker" while we're at it? I've never heard a fan upbraid this band for not sticking with Mussorgsky to the exclusion of "The Sage," "The ...
  
  











  



  
Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition
Alexander Borodin, Mikhail Glinka, ...

RCA, 1994

If only we had more "tyrants" like this one.
The only comparable orchestra to Reiner's late fifties Chicago Leviathan was another Midwestern ensemble a few hundred miles to the east in Cleveland (also commanded by an expatriate Hungarian Jewish maestro). It's a toss up over which orchestra was better, but this ...
  
  











  



  
Most Relaxing Classical Piano Music in the Universe
Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Denon Records, 2004

Solid collection of piano favorites
If you can gag your way past the album title, this is a most pleasant collection of beloved classical piano pieces that actually is relaxing, I suppose.
  
  











  



  
Gods, Kings & Demons (Opera Arias)
René Pape, Hector Berlioz, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

Reality Matches Hype For Once
This disc highlights the multiple virtues of an astonishingly good voice. Rene Pape sings effortlessly and with beautiful tone in all registers. He does not resort to yelling or vocal tricks to convey meaning or emotional intensity, nor does he need to. There is ...
  
  











  



  
Ravel: Bolero; Debussy, Mussorgsky / Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
Claude Debussy, Modest Mussorgsky, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

A top performance
This has long been one of my favourite performances of "Pictures". The sound quality from the early 60s recording is very good indeed. I find the pacing to be just right for this extraordinary work. I have listened to a number of versions over the years, including more ...
  
  











  



  
Time Life Presents: Classical Thunder
Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ...

Time Life Records, 2005

Masterful!
This two CD set is magnificent. I got the set in the early 1990's when it was advertised on television, along with other releases in Time Life's set. I was struck by the interpretations of the conductors. Whenever I hear these pieces now, I judge them against this ...
  
  











  



  
Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition; Night on Bald Mountain
Modest Mussorgsky, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1990

Another great Bernstein
I love Bernstein. Both the Mussorgsky's Pictures at Exhibition and A nigth in the Bald Mountain are masterpieces, and so is Ravel's orchestration of the pictures. I think Bernstein's direction excellent, so beautiful as, for instance, that (famous) by Toscanini.

Andre Rieu in Wonderland
Harold Arlen, Frank Churchill, ...

Denon Records, 2008

Excellent
The CD of Andre Rieu in Wonderland and the Vienna I love are both excellent music. I love the selections on each one of them and they help me to release a LOT of stress. Thank you for making them available.
