Not Just For Little Guys
My two sons, ages 4 and 1, love the CD. They love to dance, march, and jump to these upbeat classical favorites. It is a great way to have kids burn energy while working the body and mind. Occasionally I point out the different instruments, loudness, speed of the ...

Dvorák: Requiem/Symphony 9

Gustáv Belácek, Antonin Dvorak, ...

Delos Records, 2000

Absolutely the best!!!!
I am not joking whn I say that this very well could be the best requiem out there!!! I am not a giant fan of Dvorak, but this is absolutely stellar! Favorite mvmts: Tuba Mirum (the modulation to Eb major at the end was nothing short of incredible) and the Offertorium. ...

Bedrich Smetana: Ma Vlast (My Country)

Bedrich Smetana, Zdenek Macal, ...

Telarc, 1992

Rich
(4.5/5 stars) I agree with other reviewers that this recording sounds wonderful. The piece itself is one of my favorites. Smetana practically redefines "patriotism" with this powerful love song to his fatherland. While I have never ridden on the Moldau, Macal and the ...

Spectre's Bride

Dvorak, Macal, ...

Delos Records, 2002

Talk about MUSIC!!!
This masterpiece has been beautifully recorded. Macal is an incredible conductor that can change color with the slight of hand. I was introduced to this piece personally through performance. After listening to the recording, the attention to detail by soloists, ...

Richard Danielpour: Celestial Night

Richard Danielpour, Zdenek Macal, ...

Great Classical CD
Danielpour is one of the best composers and shows it here. His french horn heavy music is even appreciated by this Trombone player. He has memorable moments and great movements. A must for any classical music fan.

Berlioz: Fantastic Symphony

Hector Berlioz, Zdenek Mácal, ...

Delos Records, 1998

Subtle
This CD brought back fond memories. I was a subscriber to the N.J. Symphony during Macal's tenure as music director, and the sound of the orchestra as recorded here is the way I remember the orchestra sounding at its best. Macal is a superb orchestra trainer. It may ...

Macal Conducts Gliére: Symphony No. 2 & Red Poppy Suite

Reinhold Gliere, Zdenek Macal, ...

Delos Records, 1996

Macal's Gliere
Many of us had been familiar with Gliere's third symphony and, of course, "The Red Poppy" ballet. These are lush, richly orchestrated, and very melodic works, filled with great feeling and drama. This CD features a top-notch performance of the familiar suite from ...

Telarc, 1994

Best of the best!
I first purchased "Classics for All Seasons: Winter" as a personal Christmas gift. If a CD could be worn out, I would have done so. Not only are these excellent performances of favorites, the variety of the selections saves the listener from a monotony of only ...
