Artemis Records, 2006 Excellent, Much Underrated Recording of "The Nutcracker" As the last of Tchaikovsky's ballets, "The Nutcracker" features some of the most interesting harmonic and rhythmic textures of the Romantic era.

Telarc, 1996 Baroque by Bach Perhaps it is the romantic in me that enervates a sense of anticipation when superlative musicians take up period instruments to play great master's works in the manner in which they were written. In this case I believe that also means enjoying the work with a ...             Pytor Illych Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker - Complete Ballet Valery Gergiev, Kirov Orchestra and Choir, ... Philips, 1998 It Doesn't Have to Christmas This is an excellent recording of the Nutcracker! It's wonderful to have the full ballet instead of just selections from the suite.

EMI Classics, 2004 Great rendition, minor flaws I quite thoroughly enjoyed this rendition of Swan Lake. I've listened to one other version by Dutoit before this one, and I have to say that Sawallisch's version is, on the whole, much better. The major difference is that I didn't get bored by the third act; Sawallisch ...             Mozart Edition: Complete Works (170 CD Box Set) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Bruce Abel, ... Brilliant Classics, 2005 Not a review of the CDs at all.... I have chosen to not review the CDs listed here (Mozart Collection).

EMI Classics, 1999 VERY HIGH QUALITY RENDITION All the performances on this set of the Beethoven String Quartets are of the highest quality.

I stepped up! I've been looking at this box set for a while now hoping that someone would buy it and review it. I've seen these sets sell for over $100, so I thought this one would be a dud at only $11.99. And with no samples, I just about wrote it off.
