Philips, 1997
Excellent performances, superb value
This collection of Schumann's piano trios, Op. 47 piano quartet, and Op. 44 piano quintet is excellent, epsecially since it's offered at Philips' Duo (2-for-1 price). Having recently performed the piano quartet and quintet, I can say that the Beaux Arts Trio brings ...

Classic Bernstein recordings of American music, in best sound
Sony's reissue machine tries to entice us to buy some classic Bernstein performances by giving us mid-price, excellent sound, and a jam-packed CD. As Mr. Richman notes below, the main part of this disc appeared in the Bernstein Century series, but two items have been ...

Schumann the symphonist...
It seems most people aware of Schumann these days associate him much more with his songs and solo piano works than with the four symphonies. That's understandable I suppose considering the quality of those pieces, but to me the symphonies are where the true ...

Argerich According to Taste
Last Summer I finally had the opportunity to hear Argerich live in concert (Prokoviev, not Schumann -- but it hardly mattered). I felt my musical appreciation life was complete. As recent New York Times articles have said, Argerich in concert inspires something very ...

The ideal introduction to one of the American greats
William Schuman is unquestionably one of the most important symphonists to have come out of America, and if you are looking for a single disc introduction to his music, look no further. The recordings are some 30-40 years old, but they sound remarkably well on this ...

If I weren't normally so straight-laced, I'd say "Boffo!"
This latest release in the Naxos "American Classics" series solves two problems for me, gets me to retire a CD that has well earned its retirement, and throws up a fresh challenge. One problem solved is a lengthy search I had been making for the CD transfer of a ...

Nonesuch, 1993
Hard to fault
Before this, I'd only really heard Glass's solo piano music. Where I found his repetitive figures unmoving in that context, here - fleshed out with vocals and synths - they become something else, something hypnotic, beguiling and quite beautiful. Even over 3 hours, it ...

This needs a more articulate review...
To tell the truth, the only reason I even listened to this disc in the store is because I spotted the cover, and wondered what the hell a guy who looked like that could sound like. I had a gushing smile on my face as I realized there was real talent and expression ...

10/7
It's my favorite Schumann Cd. I Love the way Ritcher played the works. Maybe the best played Waldszenen ever, but it's in mono. Rest of the Cd is in Stereo. So the sound is not at top at today standar. A Norwegian classical music lovers. So there you have my opinion ...
Jacqueline du Pre - Favourite Cello Concertos ~ Boccherini, Dvorak, Elgar, Haydn, Monn, Saint-Saens, Schumann

EMI Classics, 1990
Wonderful Collection
This is a wonderful collection of Jacqueline du Pre's work, both because it traces her development as an artist, her unique interaction with various conductors and her interpretations of a variety of composers. Jacueline du Pre is a cellist for all time.

A good choice
I did not know all the tunes when I have ordered this CD and after listening, there are still some tunes that I do not know. However, the quality of recording is excellent, the choice of tunes is interesting and the orchestration is good. So, if you know these tunes ...

Dazzling Ballet Music
Unless you are a balletomane - and no, I'm not one either - the three works on this CD will be unfamiliar. Now out of print, this well-transferred mono EMI disc (just about identical to my old Capitol LP) is worth a search in the used bins at your local CD store. ...

Best Patriotic Music I've Found
Loved the CD! I am buying it to use with a Musical Freestyle Ride for a Quadrille. A horse oriented endeaver. The music will be perfect to bring positive patriotism to fairs and fund raisers for NYC.

The Seattle Symphony under the direction of Gerard Schwarz is in the midst of recording the ten symphonies of the American composer William Schuman (1910 -- 1992) for the "American Classics' series of Naxos. It is a laudable project indeed and an excellent way to get ...
