Orchestra Of Our Time

Claudio Monteverdi, George Frideric Handel, ...

Hyperion UK, 1993

There is no such thing as too much Emma Kirkby
The only defect in this disk is that it isn't a three or four disk set. Some people don't appreciate her beautiful voice and I feel sorry for them. I first heard her voice live in a concert here in Ann Arbor in December of 1980 and she stunned me. The memory of her ...

Angel Records, 1996

Andre Previn has always been an underrated jazz pianist. Because of his astonishing variety of successes as a classical conductor, pianist and composer; a film composer; a songwriter; and a performer of romantic cocktail music, he has been eyed suspiciously by the jazz ...

Virgil Thomson: Four Saints In Three Acts

Virgil Thomson, Orchestra Of Our Time, ...

Nonesuch, 1992

Say what....?
What fun this opera is! Virgil Thomson likes to play with the orchestra and singers as much as Gertrude Stein likes to play with the English language. It's nonsense, but it's not. Part of the fun is trying to make some sense of the cryptic libretto....indeed, you can't ...

A Total Embrace: The Composer
Leonard Bernstein, "On The Town" Orchestra, ...

Sony, 2003

The Essential Leontyne Price: Spirituals, Hymns & Sacred Songs

DRG 25th Anniversary Show Stopping Performances

Gerard Alessandrini, Irving Berlin, ...

Drg, 2001

Great compilation
I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does. The previous review is ...
