Supurb Christmas playing
This group put a show on last winter at a local church in Pittsburgh, and I have to say that it is one of the best sounding brass groups I have listened to. I agree, some of the songs are short, but the quality and talent that goes into the pieces is excellent. I ...

The Best Of Saint-Saëns
Anne Martindale Williams, Maurice Gendron, ...

Philips, 1994

Superb Collection
This was my first Saint-Saëns CD, and I did not quite know what to expect. It was love at first hear(?!). An excellent collection, ranging from the humorous "Carnival of the Animals" to the serious Organ Symphony. If you are not familiar with Saint-Saëns, I would ...

Possibly the biggest steal in all of recorded music !

Brahms: Symphony No. 4; 8 Hungarian Dances [Hybrid SACD]
Johannes Brahms, Marek Janowski, ...

Pentatone, 2008

Wow...sonic splendor!
Greatly paced and stunningly recorded. Very realistic sound on a good system. Phrasing is just right. If you like Brahms, this recording will not disappoint. (SACD surround- caveat emptor)

Virtuoso Violin
Isaac Albeniz, Manuel de Falla, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Simply fantastic
I am a 29 years-old violin musician. To be concise, you will never obtain so, so much for such a little price. Some of the works were originally written for Spanish guitar, and others exclusively for violin, as those from Sarasate, and the violin performance of all of ...

Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue - Piano Concerto in F - An American in Paris
George Gershwin, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, ...

Philips, 1990

Great American music from a great American orchestra!
One of the most captivating aspects of a Gershwin piece is its built in "urban" sound. One can see traffic and people scurrying about, bright lights and flickering marquis shining up and down the avenues, and even a sense of lonliness or self contemplation from a lone ...

Exceptional Collection
I have heard many, many classical "mood" collections, and this is one of the best, with many surprise selections. It is consistently restful and calming. I recommend it highly.
