American Classics Sampler
Samuel Barber, John Cage, ...

Naxos American, 2001

Gottschalk: A Night in the Tropics

Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Richard Rosenberg, ...

Naxos American, 2000

Just plain fun
I'm not sure how other reviewers could have found this music weak and naive--too much Schönberg, maybe? Or maybe they were trying to delve its musical profundity, when in fact this music isn't profound and doesn't claim to be. It's just energetic, fun music from a ...

Stars & Stripes

Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, ...

RCA, 1993

The Boston Pops & Arthur Fiedler
A very good performance by The Boston Pops and its Conductor Arthur Fiedler, the pieces here played, in special those composed or arranged by Hershy Kay, are very beautiful. I enjoyed it a lot

Great American Piano I, Volume VII

Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Leonard Pennario

Angel Records, 1992

Gottschalk Piano Music
This is the only CD of Gottschalk's music that I own, so I have no comment on the more famous Philip Martin series on Hyperion. Gottschalk's music is lively, spicy, and thoroughly American. One of the best pieces on here is "The Banjo," which imitates the sound of a ...

Ultimate Classical Piano

Isaac Albeniz, Anton Arensky, ...

Decca, 2007

Sheer Listening Pleasure at a Great Price
Where else can you find such excellent value offered by this 5 CD boxset which is packed with great piano classics and featuring outstanding artists such as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Alicia de Larrocha, Julius Katchen, Joseph Cooper, Radu Lupu, Ivan Davis, Shura Cherkassky, ...

Gottschalk: American Piano Music

Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Amiram Rigai

Smithsonian Folkways, 1995

An old favorite of mine updated
Gottschalk wrote a lot of very pleasing and colorful if not very deep piano music. Deep has its place, but not every moment is a Bach organ moment, and this is wonderful music when you want to relax to something light. Gottschalk drew on African American and American ...

Gottschalk: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2; Escenas Campestres Cubanas; Célèbre Tarantelle

Richard Ziebarth, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, ...

Naxos American, 2007

Fantastic Music
I had only heard the music of Louis Moreau Gottschalk over the radio but I was curious so when this collection of orchestral music came along I bought the disc, and what a fabulous collection it is. The CD begins with Symphony No. 2 subtitled A' Montevideo which is ...

American Piano Classics

Leroy Anderson, Euday L. Bowman, ...

Telarc, 1993

Full-Length Anderson
The featured selection on this CD is the premier recording of Leroy Anderson's piano concerto. It is the reason to acquire the CD, as the other selections are fairly familiar and are available on numerous recordings. To the extent that he is well-known at all, ...

Piano Masters: Guiomar Novaes

Novaes, Bach, ...

Pearl, 2002

The supreme colorist female pianist!
Latin America may be proud due his most beloved daughters in this order: Teresa Carreño, Rosita Renard, Guiomar Novaes and Martha Argerich . I mean, Venezuela, Chile, Brazil and Argentine. I had the golden opportunity to chat during fifteen minutes through an ...

Louis Moreau Gottschalk: Piano Music

Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Cecile Licad

Naxos American, 2003

A very powerful performance
June 7, 2003 This is a very powerful performance by Licad, the first in a long while. I had a chance to compare her recording with an earlier recording of Gottschalk's piano works by another (relatively unknown) pianist, and I must say that the latter recording ...

Habaneras, Milongas, Tangos

Isaac Albeniz, Ignacio Cervantes, ...

Romeo Records, 2000

Habaneras, Milongas, Tangos
This is delightful! The pianist is superb in her interpretation of the pieces. The music takes you away to another world.

The Story of American Classical Music

John Adams, George Antheil, ...

Naxos, 2005

A Great Intro to American Classical Music - Almost a Short Course!
Many reasonably sophisticated American and European musiclovers still think there are really no American classical music composers of note other than perhaps Gershwin and Copland. It is to the credit of the Naxos label, via their 'American Classics' series, that the ...

The Wind Demon
Homer Newton Bartlett, George Frederick Bristow, ...

New World Records, 1995

Gottschalk: Piano Music for 2 and 4 hands
Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Alan Marks, ...

Nimbus Records, 2000

Disc 2 of this new collection, the solo piano pieces, has been doing good service for well over a decade. Marks plays a good variety of Gottschalk music, sparkles in the virtuoso pieces, and even manages to keep a straight face when he plays sentimental tripe like "The Last Hope" and "The Dying Poet." As the only important composer produced by the ...

Masters of the Keyboard

Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2004

excellent artists!
I don't understand quite where the other reviewer is coming from. This is a treasure-trove of piano music by some of the best classical pianists of the last century. If you want a musical anthology of some of the best by some of the best, pick it up!
