Charles August de Beriot, Frank Beermann, ...

Cpo Records, 2006

First Time apearances of some of these works on CD
CPO has done a service in issuing this album of Beriot Violin Concerti and I hope that they complete the series with all ten of the composer's Violin Concerti. There is a typo in the Opus Number of Concerto No. 7 in G: it is Op. 76 not 73. Concerto No. 4 makes its ...

Violin Concerto in D / Double Concerto

Brahms, Shaham, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

In praise of a must-have Double Concerto
This CD features a live performance of the Brahms Violin Concerto from 2000, followed a year later by a studio recording of the Double Concerto. Many here have praised Shaham's solo work, and I'd also rank his Brahms D major with the best modern recordings. I think ...

Kennedy Plays Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach, Albrecht Mayer, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

Kennedy serves the music, not his status.
Kennedy in Bach?! That's the last thing I expected him to play, but I was wrong. I also doubted whether he would suit Bach's music, but he does. He plays with freedom that almost borders on jazz improvisations, but he does not go overboard, as he often does (as in the ...

Reimann - Lear / Fischer-Dieskau, Dernesch, Lorand, Varady, Boysen; Albrecht

Aribert Reimann, Bayerisches Staatsorchester, ...

Polygram Records, 2000

I SAW IT LIVE
I saw the premiere of this opera in San Francisco, and, to put it mildly, I was almost blown out of my chair. It's spellbinding. Definitely not for lovers of easy-listening music or for those addicted to melody. And I'm happy to report that this recording captures ...

Marches

Anonymous, German Anonymous, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1995

A Great Value!!
Here is a collection of mostly German march music that is well worth the price! The performances are crisp and clean. One selection I was very surprised to find in this collection is the "Nibelungen Marsch" by Gottfried Sonntag. As the title implies,this march is based ...

Carl Orff: Die Kluge/Der Mond

Benno Kusche, Gottlob Frick, ...

Angel Records, 2002

Orff - More than Just Carmina Burana
Carmina Burana is Karl Orff's Pyrric victory. Its tremendous success, particularly in the USA, has consigned his other work to obscurity. But Orff is much more than the composer of one great popular piece of music and children's music. Orff had an original operatic ...

Instruments of the Orchestra

Various Artists

Naxos, 2002

Very Informative and Enjoyable
Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes ...

He was awarded the ...

Vivaldi II

Olaf Maninger, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Why do you hesitate? Just buy it!!
Tell you what, I have all of Nigel Kennedy's Album(except Let Loose). Some CDs(like Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto or Classic Kennedy Album) made me disappointed but, this is one of his best interpretation I've ever heard. (like Walton, Elgar, Sibelius, ...
