Baby Einstein: Traveling Melodies
Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, ...

Buena Vista, 2005

Saved My Sanity
My husband and I are musicians so I inwardly groaned when we were given this CD as a gift--I'd rather play the originals rather than some synthesized kiddie version. However, on a recent road trip we got desperate when our colicky son would not stop screaming. We ...
  
  











  



  
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade/Capriccio Espagnol
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Charles Mackerras, ...

Telarc, 1990

....
Charles Mackerras and the London Symphony Orchestra are very much in the demonstration class in this brilliant reading of Rimsky-Korakov's "Scherazade" and "Capriccio Espagnol". It combines gripping drama with romantic emotional warmth. Two themes dominate, the ...
  
  











  



  
Sheherazade / Russian Easter Overture
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Eugene Ormandy, ...

Sony, 2002

Highly Worthy of the "Definitive" Title!
This is one of my favorite pieces of Russian music ever composed, which is a mixed blessing in the sense that, when the music is performed the right way, it's positively revelatory, and when it's performed the wrong way, it's a massive bummer and leads to deep ...
  
  











  



  
Rimsky-Korsakov: Greatest Hits
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Andrey Tchistyakov, ...

Sony, 1995

OUTSTANDING
This is a good selection of outstanding works of one of the best Russian composers. I enjoyed it very much.
  
  











  



  
L.A. Guitar Quartet: Evening In Granada
Luigi Boccherini, Claude Debussy, ...

Delos Records, 1994

These fiery renditions surpassed my expectations!
Once again the L.A.G.Q. triumphs with their transcriptions of the very well known works included here. All of the music lends itself very well to the instrument, especially in the hands of this phenomenal quartet. This debut recording of the Ian Krouse selection is ...
  
  











  



  
Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture/ Marche Slave
Torgny Sporsen, Alexander Borodin, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1991

Thunderous!
I am a new listener to classical music and as such do not claim to have yet developed a refined ear. However, this recording has exactly the attributes other reviewers have reported. The chorus and the cannons make it. I listened on a pair of Definitive Tecnology ...
  
  











  



  
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade; Capriccio Espagnol; Russian Easter Overture
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Andrew Litton, ...

EMI Classics, 1995

Stellar Performance
Having been a professional violinist and pianist for thirty years, I have developed a special appreciation for classical music. Scheherezade is one of the great orchestral pieces. This version clearly highlights the great skill of the composer and the orchestra. All ...
  
  











  



  
The Best of Fauré
Gabriel Faure, Antonio de Almeida, ...

Naxos, 1999

An excellent compilation of Faure's work
I bought this cd not knowing anything about Gabriel Faure's music. A local orchestra was planning to perform Masques et Bergamasques, so I picked this cd being the most inexpensive way of buying something I possibly was not going to enjoy. But nothing could be further ...
  
  











  



  
Jean-Baptiste Lully: L'Orchestre du Roi Soleil
Jean-Baptiste Lully, Jordi Savall, ...

Alia Vox Spain, 1999

The Sun King's Most Beloved Composer Really Shines in this Performance!
As the main reviewer mentions, the French Baroque style is completely original in its sound so that even one with little familiarity in Baroque styles will recognize instantly. Jean-Baptiste Lully's music is probably the most regal, warm, and literally gay of all the ...
  
  











  



  
Khachaturian: Masquerade Suite; Kabalevsky: The Comedians; Tchaikovsky: Capriccio Italien; Rimsky-Korsakov: ...
Dmitry Kabalevsky, Aram Khachaturian, ...

RCA, 1999

Simply BEAUTIFUL!
Many do not know Aram Khachaturian's moving, romantic music, but they would likely recognised the Sabre Dance, used everywhere commercials and cartoons or the Adagio used by Stanley Kubrick in 2001: A Space Odyssey. That frantic, almost comical Sabre Dance comes from ...
  
  











  



  
Panorama: Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Herbert von Karajan, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2000

A powerful and wonderful CD
The performances are superb. The sound quality is excellent. It is a fine choice of works by Rimsky-Korsakov (over 2 hours and 35 minutes of music). We hear one of my favorite performances of Sheherazade. And the Capriccio Espagnol. The Flight of the Bumblebee. ...
  
  











  



  
Orchestral Excerpts for Flute
Johann Sebastian Bach, Jeanne Baxtresser, ...

Summit(Classical), 1996

A great companion to the book
I own the book of the same title of excerpts, though expensive it was worth it. I was considering not buying this CD since I have recording of the pieces anyway but I am glad I did. Not only is it convienient to have all the excerpts on once CD but Jeanne has a ...
  
  











  



  
Complete Early Berlin Philharmonic Recordings, 1957-1962
Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

Was the young Maazel also the best one?
I started listening to this box set of recordings from 1957-62, the years when Maazel skyrockted in Europe as an American wunderkind, with low expectations. For me, Maazel joins Mehta and Ozawa as great young promises that were never fulfilled. Thoroughly disliked by ...
  
  











  



  
Original Masters: Leopold Stokowski: Decca Recordings 1964-1975 [BOX SET]
Donald McIntyre, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Decca, 2005

More Sensational Stokowski
It took me a while to purchase this six-disc set in UNI's "Original Masters" series, but I finally did this past weekend. Classical music fans seem to either love or hate Leopold Stokowski (I, of course, love him), and unfortunately much of "Decca Recordings 1964-75, ...
  
  











  



  
Piano French Masters Greatest Hits
Claude Debussy, Gabriel Faure, ...

Sony, 1996

Wonderful Compilation of French Piano Classics
This is a thoroughly enjoyable collection of well-known piano classics by four late-nineteenth and early twentieth century French composers - Faure, Debussy, Satie, and Ravel - as interpreted by five different pianists. Seven of the twenty-one selections are ...
