Decca, 2000

A great, great collection!
I was stunned to see only two and a half stars for romantic adagios. I don't know how much you get to know by listening to only one "song" out of so many in this collection, but in my opinion this CD collection deserves a lot of credit. I had heard of Samuel Barber's ...

Decca, 2005

Much better than typical compilations.
This and the other compilations in this DECCA series are excellent. Much thought went into the choices of recordings, with high caliber artists performing the selections. If only all compilations were this good . . .

The crarinet concerto---WOW. I love this cd.
This is a wonderful album. All three soloists are excellent and Franklin Cohen is one of the all time great clarinet virtuosos. The Cleveland orchestra is perfect...as ususal.

Scintillation

Richard Weiss, Franklin Cohen, ...

Telarc, 1993

Rich, lush and incredibly pleasing.
I found the recording to be both rich and multi-faceted. It is incredibly beautiful...you can't help but be amazed at the artistry...and just envelopes you in liquid sound. Often the harp is overpowered when set against other instruments and/or orchestras (the Four ...

Denis Vigay, Jascha Silberstein, ...

Umvd Labels, 2003

The # 1 Adagios Album? No! But a good collection/compilation
I love the adagio. Debussy, Satie, Bach, Barber, Saint-Saens, are all favorites of mine. I have a large collection of classical, but I like these compilations because it provides a good mix of composers and artists without having to go through my entire collection and ...

Debussy: La Mer / Nocturnes / Jeux / Rhapsodie pour clarinette et orchestre - The Cleveland Orchestra / ...

Claude Debussy, Pierre Boulez, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1995

Best "La Mer" I've ever heard
I join the throng of five-star reviews for this fabulous CD of Debussy specialties including "La Mer" and "Nocturnes". While Pierre Boulez clearly has the training, background, intuition and temperament to define these exquisite works, it is hard to imagine the bad ...

Greatest Mozart Show on Earth

Bryn Terfel, Hermann Prey, ...

Polygram Records, 2000

A Great Summary of Mozart
Although the perfect summary to Mozart needs many more than 2 CDs, this set is like a summary of a summary of one of the greatest composers to ever live (probably the best). Within these two CDs are all the Mozart melodies that you know along with melodies you know ...
