Carl Orff: Carmina Burana
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Carl Orff, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

Misrepresentation

+ Wanted to give this 5 stars...
+ Best pagen music around

This is not about the recording but more about Amazon. I just recently bought this item and I have to say that the sample recordings featured on this page is NOT the same recording on the CD. I can't find a way to contact Amazon, but I thought I'd let everyone know.

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Mstislav Rostropovich, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1997

Sleeping Beauty & more

Being grateful for the opportunity to share my enjoyment of this recording, I'm adding this to my Amazon reviews because I enjoy most kinds of musical melody (but not so much the Rap rhythm solos). Tchaikovsky (or Tschaikowsky on this Deutsche Grammophon recording) Ballet suites from the `Swan ...

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons; Itzhak Perlman
Itzhak Perlman, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

One of the best renditions of Vivaldi's Four Seasons out there.

+ The resentment of Pearlman continues
+ This is a wonderful recording.

I have to completely disagree with the bad reviews given to this great cd. I absolutely love Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Ever since I listened to them for the first time when I was just a little kid i fell in love with this music. So much so, that I too have a collection of the four season's and ...

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos. 8, 14, 21 & 23 / Wilhem Kempff
Ludwig van Beethoven, Wilhelm Kempff

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

I recommend unreservedly

+ Special!
+ For the Waldstein and Moonlight

This review is probably useless but I will not allow this wonderful disc to continue its 3 and a half star rating. Sound is fine. Performances immense but in a rather understated way which rewards repeated listening as more dynamic readings will not. I feel Beethoven sonatas need clarity and ...
  
  











  



  
Mozart: Die Zauberflöte [The Magic Flute]
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Karl Böhm, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1997

As an ensemble, no other one...

Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 1-9 [Special Edition] [Hybrid SACD]
Gerald Finley, Timothy Hugh, ...

Lso Live UK, 2006

Beethoven Symphonies

+ Good or Great? Depends on your Angle
+ Not for sensitive ears.

I love this set! I am new to classical music, but knew I wanted to purchase a Beethoven symphonies set. I am a bit particular about the orchestra -some seemed rather lack-luster. The London Symphony is one of the best I have heard - there seems to be a depth other orchestras lack. The price for ...
  
  











  



  
BRAHMS: PIANO CONCERTOS, TWO RHAPSODIES, OP. 79, INTERMEZZOS, OP. 117 & OP. 119
Jules Eskin, Johannes Brahms, ...

Sony Classics, 2007

An Intimate Conversation Between Brahms and Ax

+ Strong Brahms playing, if a bit faceless

The two CD album recently released by Sony is a gathering of some of the finest moments Emanuel Ax has recorded of the music of his beloved Johannes Brahms. Long respected for his intelligence, self-effacing performances where it is clear that the genius of the moment is the composer not the ...
