THE VIRILE, RICH-BLOODED BACH!
J. Sebastian Bach was a very virile, full-blooded man who worked all his life, had two wives, and sired about 20 children. Casals' realizations of Bach's music illustrate Bach's virility and vivacity. Casals conducts the Bach Concerti & Suites as he [Casals] plays ...

Nimbus Records, 1997
Honest Transfer of Great Material from 78s
There are eleven spirituals on this CD, but it opens with a stunning traversal of seven sacred selections from the Baroque era, six selections of Bach and one of Handel. Ms. Anderson's sweetness, sincerity and artistry are complemented nicely by a young Robert Shaw ...

The greatest Pastoral performance ever recorded
Leopold Stokowski was one of the three or four greatest conductors of the 20th century, and quite possibly THE greatest. The performances presented on this CD were originally presented on LPs and, thus, have long been unavailable. They have only recently been made ...

Beethoven for the first time
Listening to this recording is like discovering well-known music again. The only competetive version of the 7th symhony is Toscanini's old one with the New York Philharmonic (better than the later NBC version) - but the sound is mediocre. Karajan's 7th with the Vienna ...

The Passed Past Master: Elegy as Eulogy
For sheer beauty of choral singing few conductors either past or present can match the wonders of vocal production, line resolution, intensity of performance and reverence for various composers' writing than the incomparable, much missed Robert Shaw. This CD contains ...
The Best of Gilbert & Sullivan

Sony, 2000
The best? I think not.
This disc includes some songs that, while I like them, are not what people might consider the "best" of G&S. Of course, anything by G&S is good, it's still not the "best of the best." There has got to be something that better represents the G&S canon.

Telarc, 2002
A perfect compostion and recording
Robert Shaw was one of the greats of choral music, that goes without saying. Even if some of his recordings sound a bit "dated" to some ears, he was an important pioneer of American music. The vocalists, Stone and de Gaetani, are without a doubt ideally suited to ...

Inspiring
Has a great perfomance of the Magnificat. Love Lucius Metz' rendition of Benedictus from Bach in B Minor. It was this recording that made me want to sing classical music. Lucius was related to me through my grandmother's side. Has also great version of Hindemith's ...

No Chocolate Sauce...
"There is a difference between the chaste sensuality of Mozart or Haydn and the lascivious sensuality of Richard Strauss. One cannot pour chocolate sauce over asparagus." George Szell Sony's Original Jackets series continues with this release of the music of ...
The Art of Robert Bloom: Music for Oboe and Strings, Vol. 1
Robert Bloom
Boston Records, 2000
One of America's Finest Oboists
Bloom was one of Tabuteau's students who went on to prominence on this instrument, which of course is a critical soloist in symphonyland. Bloom loved the singing quality of the instrument, and thus a longtime player of Loree, he was known for his love of romantic ...

I LOVE THE SOUND OF A MUSIC BOX HOWEVER, I COULD NOT READILY IDENTIFY THE MAJORITY OF THE OPERAS THAT WERE LISTED. NEVERTHELESS, I DO ENJOY LISTENING TO THE CD.

Composers Recordings, 1996
Very Good Music
I have heard Grand Spiral played live. It was very very engaging. Chinary Ung writes some very nice music. It's very raw sometimes - which also is very likeable. If you like this CD, buy it. Support a very good and deserving composer.

Centaur, 1995
A serious composition of music
The artists on this CD have formed an interesting and moving insight into the Jewish music. The music at times can be very operatic in nature and at other times they can be so riveting you feel yourself being moved by the pure poetry of their assonance. If you want ...
