The King's Singers Original Debut Recording

Anthony Holt, Simon Carrington, ...

Chandos, 1994

This is vintage King's Singers!
In the thirty or more years that the King's Singers have been going, they've released dozens of CDs. And as much as I adore some of their recent recordings, I still regard this first album as some of their best work. This performance is both of a very high quality and ...

Camille Saint-Saëns, Max Bruch, ...

EMI Classics, 1996

Beautiful and mature performances from a gifted prodigy.
The great cellist Rostropovich took a special interest in the exceptionally-gifted young cellist, Han-Na Chang, and conducts the accompaniment on her debut recording. Listening to this incredible young artist one can understand why Rostropovich regarded her as special. ...

WOW! Absolutely stunning!
I just bought this disc and was blown away by it. It was everything I thought it would be and then some. It has to be one of the great piano recital CDs of all time. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this.

Delibes: Coppélia (complete in three acts) / La Source (suites)

Leo Delibes, Andrew Mogrelia, ...

Naxos, 1996

A full-length Coppelia at an appealing price
Andrew Mogrelia has conducted a number of full-length ballets for Naxos: Giselle, Sylvia, Sleeping Beauty, and this Coppelia. I own all of them, because I find Mogrelia is one of those rare conductors who make a ballet sound like a ballet. In concert hall versions, ...

Moondog

Moondog, Sam Ulano, ...

Ojc, 1991

Eccentric Centrist
Odd-ball individuals are more common than geniuses, but Moondog is both. Harry Partch had the highest regard for this blind graduate of Julliard, whose fantastic get-up of skins, furs and horns might have detracted from the impact of less seminal music. Since he was ...

Debut

Pablo de Sarasate, Edward Elgar, ...

EMI Classics, 1992

Sarah Chang -- unparalleled even at 9!
What can I say that does not smack of praise for this debut album by one of the most gifted young violinists ever of the millennium? The one thing that I find lacking in most violinists' playing is ... fire. Oh, of course, techincal ability ranks high on the list but ...

Alpin Hong Piano Debut

Johannes Brahms, Claude Debussy, ...

MSR Classics, 2004

In the presence of genius
I recently attended a concert by Alpin Hong in Ukiah, California, with a bunch of serious amateur and professional pianists. We were so awed (even the professionals) and said to ourselves, "We are in the presence of genuis!" I have never heard anyone able to play so ...

DEBUT - Alisa Weilerstein & Vivian Hornik Weilerstein ~ Works for Cello and Piano

Niccolo Paganini, Antonin Dvorak, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

Florida Music Lover
I have been fond of the cello for years. I have enjoyed Casals even though he was somewhate austere. I love Rostropovich's tone and color but have felt that no one has ever played with the passion of Du Pre until I heard Weilerstein on, I believe, NPR when they ...

Evgeny Kissin - Carnegie Hall Debut Concert Highlights

Robert Schumann, Evgeny Kissin

RCA, 1992

Good recordings of young Kissin.
In fact, there is a little absurdity to give him 5 stars all. But this recording`s were recorded when Kissin was in a student age. Who could think this recording as a student`s recording? So I gave him 5 stars. (unless 4 stars.) His technics are excellent, but he can ...
