When I first listened to this recording (it came two days ago) I thought that Kapell's sound was agressive, (it is), he rushed (he does) and that his sense of proportion was often out of whack with what's really going on (sometimes it definitely is). But when all was ...             Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring; The Firebird Suite (1919) Sergey Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, ... Sony, 2004 Three Le Sacres from Bernstein In the Royal Edition of Bernstein's recordings with the NY Phil., there was a hair-raising Le Sacre dating from 1958 in vivid sound with lots of impact and incredibly virtuosic playing.

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.

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!).

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.

Pentatone, 2004 THE FUTURE IS IN GOOD HANDS The very young Violinist Julia Fischer demonstrates in this recording that (to me) the future for the performance of masterpieces of so-called classical music is very bright indeed.
