Vox (Classical), 1996

25 Sentimental Favorites
I used to think that classical music is boring, but this CD has changed my mind. The first time I listened to this CD I said, its OK. Later every time I listen to it I discover a new beautiful music. I feel calm and relaxed. I mostly liked the Borodin, Mozart and ...

Histoire du Soldat (Suite); Renard

David Evitts, Wilbur Pauley, ...

Naxos, 2007

Stravinsky Miniatures & Arrangements
The Stravinsky works collected on this excellent Naxos release are all either little-known or presented in less familiar arrangements - with the exception of 'Histoire du Soldat' which is probably more often heard as a suite (as here) than in the complete version with ...

Candlelight Favorites (25)

Frank Morelli, Laszlo Varga, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Only thing wrong is the title... Good classical collection!
I've pondered the title of this fine classical collection for quite some time (far longer than is warranted, to be sure), and I've yet to come to a conclusion as to why this album is called CANDLELIGHT FAVORITES. While some selections are solemn (Enigma Variations), ...

Romance & Caprice - Solo Bassoon & Piano
Frank Morelli, Harry Searing, ...

MSR Classics, 2006

The listener will likely notice the connection between names of several works on this disc and its title. More significantly, Romance and Caprice describes the variety of repertoire offered here, as well as the bassoon’s expressive capacity, with its flexible, three-and-one-half octave range and tone quality comparable to the human voice. The ...

Bassoon Brasileiro
Francisco Mignone, Heitor Villa-Lobos, ...

MSR Classics, 2004

The Rise of Brazil's Musical Identity The first decades of the twentieth century fostered an important transformation in Brazil. According to Heitor Villa-Lobos' biographer Simon Wright, there existed "an increasingly volatile artistic climate...which saw to it that the old, monarchical snobbery surrounding serious music was broken down and ...

Baroque Fireworks
Frank Morelli, Georg Philipp Telemann, ...

MSR Classics, 2004

At the dawn of the Baroque era, Venetian composer Giovanni Gabrieli and his followers developed the concertato style of composition. One result of this innovation was to encourage composers throughout Europe to explore the expressive and technical solo possibilities of instruments like the bassoon, traditionally relegated to non-solo roles. More ...

Derek Bermel-Soul Garden-Chamber Works
Bermel, Neubauer, ...

Composers Recordings, 2002

Derek Bermel can make instruments sing. He can make them talk. Laugh. Scream. Sigh. A composer who is also a first-rate clarinetist, Bermel has an exquisite ability to capture the spirit of the human voice in his music. Equally at ease in a New York City nightclub or a dusty village in West Africa and with akin enthusiasm for rap, Messaien, ...

25 Classical Favorites

Frank Morelli, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Great collection of classical favorites - but no Beethoven
Overall an excellent collection of classical favorites and for $3.99 its a steal, but strangely there is not a single Beethoven composition in the CD.

Aaron Copland: Appalachian Spring (Suite) / Short Symphony (No. 2) / Quiet City / Three Latin American ...

Aaron Copland, Wu Han, ...

Polygram Records, 1989

The _original_ Appalachian Spring
Before it was a full-blown orchestral production, Appalachian Spring was written for a small ballet orchestra, 13-piece or so. This recording preserves that original arrangement (with a few additional strings), resulting in a very clean, sharp sound. It's the first ...

Schoenberg: Pierrot Lunaire

Frank Morelli, Harry Searing, ...

Naxos, 2007

HERZGEWACHSE & the FOUR ORCHESTRAL SONGS...
. Although this disc has the "Pierrot curse"--(i.e., nearly every Schoenberg disc seems to include either Pierrot Lunaire, Verklarte Nacht, or the First Chamber Symphony)--it features two of Schoenberg's most exquisite works: Herzgewachse Op. 20, and the Four ...

Mozart:The Wind Concertos
Frank Morelli, Steven Dibner, ...

Polygram Records, 1991

Complete Wind Concertos

Mozart, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

A great set of Mozart concertos
This set is an excellent value. 212 minutes of Mozart's music at a very modest price. And what music! The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra does a superb job. The first disc begins with the Sinfonia Concertante for Oboe, Clarinet, Horn, Bassoon and Orchestra. Next is one ...

A Set of Pieces: Music by Charles Ives

Lino Gomez, Frank Morelli, ...

Polygram Records, 1994

Finest Ives Orchestral...
. With the especially fine Hopper cover-art, this is an all-time favorite Ives orchestral disc. Particularly nice in the crisp Fall season. Disc discontinued, but also reissued on Ives: Three Places in New England; Symphony no. 3; The Unanswered Question; A Set ...

Richard Strauss: Sonatinen Nos. 1 & 2
Richard Strauss, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, ...

Deutsche Grammophon / Polygram Records, 1996

These late works by Richard Strauss, written in the 1940s for wind ensembles, are still relatively little known. They are quite different in style from Strauss's best-known, large-scale, noisy orchestral works, and may well appeal to listeners who find Ein Heldenleben just "too much." Musicians love to play the Sonatinas, and a number of fine ...
