Vox (Classical), 2000

A Wonderful Introduction to the Classics
With total playing time clocking in at 78:04 minutes of music, you'll be paying about 6-cents/minute, which is a better bargain than long distance phone calls, and often more rewarding! This disc is far superior than most other "Classics for Kids"-type recordings ...
  
  











  



  
Symphony (25) Favorites
Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ...

Vox (Classical), 1997

A Grand symphonic adventure
This album provides a quick exposure to some of the best movements in the best symphonies. Many of the tracks will sound familiar. They are played well and have good sound quality. As a novice musician, i have great appreciation for it.
  
  











  



  
Bernstein Favorites: Children's Classics
Benjamin Britten, Sergey Prokofiev, ...

Sony, 1991

No kindermusic nonsense
Best 4 dollars spent in my entire life. My 4 yr-old son absolutely loves this CD (in the car, he begs to listen to 'Benjamin Britten's drums' again and again -such whining is music to my ears!). Bernstein's narration is charming, though occasionally his explanation of ...
  
  











  



  
David Oistrakh: The Complete EMI Recordings
Joseph Stidel, Mstislav Rostropovich, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Oistrakh Jubilee
A violinist's violinist who was simultaneously adored by the general public. EMI presents in one compilation the entire recorded legacy of David Oistrakh. I simply wanted to list the works and co-performers in this collection. The recordings really do not need any ...
  
  











  



  
David Bowie Narrates Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf"
Benjamin Britten, Sergey Prokofiev, ...

RCA, 1992

Symphony fun for kids
Peter and the Wolf is a great way to get the kids to listen to classical music. It's fun and very entertaining.
  
  











  



  
Prokofiev: Peter & the Wolf
Sergey Prokofiev, Mario Rossi, ...

Musical Concepts, 2006

Definitive Version
Glad to see that this is back in print. As a little boy, I had the record (unfortunately misplaced) and played it until the grooves were worn. Boris Karloff's narration and the Vienna Orchestra sound spectacular on this CD, though. Hopefully my five year old will ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
  
  











  



  
Peter and the Wolf / Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra / Carnival of the Animals
Benjamin Britten, Sergey Prokofiev, ...

RCA, 1994

This is the one you're looking for!
We took our children to the Santa Cruz Symphony's production of Peter and the Wolf. Since the concert, they have been very interested in this classical music collection and listen to it regularly. We purchased this CD and the book "Peter and The Wolf" by Vagin ...
  
  











  



  
Prokofiev, Ravel: Piano Concertos, etc / Martha Argerich
Sergey Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

The young Argerich--fresh and completely without affectation
The few complainers about this famous recording have slipped fra down the list here at Amazon, and what's striking is that the things they hate about Argerich (mannered phrasing, overly aggressive attack, rushing, banging) are the very things we don't get here. Ms. ...
  
  











  



  
Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring; The Firebird Suite (1919)
Sergey Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, ...

Sony, 2004

WOW.
This recording really is something. Considering how old this rendition is, the depth at which bernstein controls the LSO is remarkable. There are moments when he lets the LSO loose, like letting the animals come out of their cages. He knows exactly how and exactly when ...

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Prokofiev: Peter And The Wolf/Saint-Saëns: The Carnival Of The Animals
Sergey Prokofiev, Camille Saint-Saens, ...

Sony, 1990

Memories
As soon as I got home from the post office I popped the CD in my system, and instantly was taken back to my junior high school days when I used to listen to this album at home in my room, pretending I was conducting the orchestra. I'm a happy camper!
  
  











  



  
Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music
Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Barber, ...

Compendia, 1994

Exactly what I wanted
It's probably too much to say that this collection is for those who "hate" classical music. But I think it's safe to say that it is for people who are not serious aficionados. It provides classical tunes that most of us have heard but don't necessarily know the names ...
  
  











  



  
Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet
Sergey Prokofiev, Lorin Maazel, ...

Decca, 1998

A palpable hit--and, yes, from Maazel
Maazel succeeded to the leadership of the Cleveland Orch. after the death of George Szell in 1971. It wasn't a happy tenure, as several of his haven't been. Maazel is a murky character as a conductor, gifted with an incredible ear and great stick technique but a ...
