Laszlo Varga, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

Sony, 1998

Ownage
One of the reviews I read mentioned that the conductor here used too much of a dynamic range, had too much vigor, etc. etc. I ask - how much does this person know about this piece (the Four Seasons)? This CD is the best Vivaldi CD I've heard yet, and I've heard a good ...

Schubert: String Quartets 13 - 15 & String Quintet; Hungarian Quartet

Laszlo Varga, Hungarian Quartet, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Excellent performances, great bargain
Some of the EMI budget twofers are not great choices even at the price, but some are and this one certainly is. These are really superb performances of the last three Schubert string quartets and the great C major string quintet. As you might expect, it's because the ...

Schubert: The Collector's Edition

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Olaf Bär, ...

EMI Classics, 2007

**JEWEL** of a collection!
These CDs are a marvelous and representative collection of Schubert's works; while it does not claim to be a "complete" collection, it's the closest thing I've found on the market and with the exception of some incomplete (early)quartets, it wants for nothing. All the ...

The Story Of Haydn
Laszlo Varga, Franz Joseph Haydn, ...

Vox (Classical), 1995

Tchaikovsky
Laszlo Varga, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

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), ...

Classical Heartbreakers

Laszlo Varga, Robert Cohen, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

A Fantastic Compilation
Most of the musical pieces in this compilation are from versions as they appear in various movies. This is Classical music from classic movies such as: Somewhere in Time, Schindler's List, English Patient, The Piano, Platoon, et al. But make no mistake; the music is ...

100 Best Film Classics

Claudio Desderi, Eberhard Wächter, ...

Angel Records, 2006

I'm Hooked
As I type the words to this review, I am listening to Nessun dorma (Puccini, Turandof) over and over again from the CD collection I am now writing about. Good music is supposed to inspire, and this one inspires. This six CD collection is from Best Film 100: The ...

Best Relaxing Classics 100

José Van Dam, Han-Na Chang, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Excellent for the money
All of the EMI's series are inexpensive and worthwhile. If you don't mind short selections and exerpts, this series is a good,inexpensive way to get into classical music.I have the whole set,or most of them.

Saint-Saëns: Works For Violin, Cello

Laszlo Varga, Camille Saint-Saens, ...

Vox (Classical), 1994

EXCELLENT COLLECTION FOR SAINT-SAENS COMPLETISTS
I've actually owned this disc before when it was first released on CD in the early '90's. Apparently VoxBox decided it needed a makeover--They've repackaged it in a slimmer 2-disc jewel case with a whole new cover art (Amazon has the original cover on the order ...

Bernstein Century - Handel: Ode for St. Cecilia's Day

Laszlo Varga, George Frederick Handel, ...

Sony, 1999

The real thing
I own an old LP with this record, still in like new condition. It's the best " Ode to St. Cecilia's Day" I know, beating hands down the versions by Harnoncourt, Wilckes and others. A pleasure to hear. I have the text, wow, Handel is the best composer ever! I ordered ...

Hummel: Piano Trio Nos. 1, 5 & 7

Laszlo Varga, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, ...

Chandos, 1997

Hummel at his best
I made Hummel's aquaintance two and a half years ago, through the recommendation of a friend. At first, I did not expect much from him... I never heard of him before! So you could imagine how surprised I was when I first heard his piano quintet, which is a ...
