Simply wonderful!
If you are a music buff like myself ( and I do like all kinds of music ), than what's not to like about The Boléro, by Ravel? And I don't buy into that hog-wash of a story that Ravel wrote this piece in the beginning of dementia...gimmie a break and give that man ...

You will like this!
I had purchased an abundance of the "Favorites" collection and some were better than others. This CD is at the top of them all. They may be short, but not that short. Wondrous music. I can almost guarantee that you will like this music. Well worth the price!

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 ...

Great for Preschool Children
I use this CD with my preschool music group. The kids love it! This CD enables children learn about classical music without over extending their attention spans.

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.

Wow!
How can something older than me sound so good? The recording is top notch. Dont be fooled into thinking it is "just stereo", the ambience of symphony hall comes thru as though it were recorded in surround. Exquisite detail and perfect tempo. Timpani has realistic ...

The Gypsy-within
Its fair to say that violinist Lara St. John projects a public image that can be described as provocative, daring, uninhibited and free-spirited (forget the open top here - check out the bold leather blazer, confident hand on hip, daring look in her eyes and violin at ...

Relaxing Classical Music
I was not really a classical music fan but I am now. I purchased this cd for my 14 year old grand-daughter, not knowing we would both enjoy the music so much. She has always enjoyed classical music along with all of the other teen music, rap, rock, country, etc. ...

A must buy for the non-snobbish classical music fan.
I bought Vol. 1 of this series and was quite satisfied, but I have to say I'm more than satisfied with this one. If you can just mellow out and enjoy some great pieces, you'll love this CD. #15 on Disc 2 is almost worth the price alone!

Bolero as it should be heard
Years ago my local orchestra gave out the most memorable Bolero I have ever heard. Since then I have been looking for a recording to match that performance without success, until now. Kunzel leads his responsive ensemble through a performance of this familiar work that ...

this really works
I brought this CD set about 2 years ago. Originally it was to help me to get better sleep after a stressful at work. It works so well that I rearly hear the last few pieces on the CD. Last year, my mother was diagnosed and treated for cancer. She had trouble sleeping ...

An Amazing Operettic Singer!
I first discovered Hayley Westenra on Celtic Woman. Then, I heard the song "Wuthering Heights." Contrary to popular opinion, or so it seems, I think this song is amazing, even in her younger years. It's amazing that she can hit the notes, let alone make them beautiful ...

LOVE IT and HATE IT
You can hear the passion and emotion in her music. I can't wait to see what she has in her next Album, "Interlude". I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with her music. I absolutely love, love, love watching her and listening to her music. I hate the fact that it ...
