Sergey Prokofiev, Lorin Maazel, ...

Decca, 1998

A palpable hit--and, yes, from Maazel
Maazel succeeded to the leadership of the Cleveland Orch. after the death of George Szell in 1971. It wasn't a happy tenure, as several of his haven't been. Maazel is a murky character as a conductor, gifted with an incredible ear and great stick technique but a ...

Bernstein Favorites: Children's Classics

Benjamin Britten, Sergey Prokofiev, ...

Sony, 1991

No kindermusic nonsense
Best 4 dollars spent in my entire life. My 4 yr-old son absolutely loves this CD (in the car, he begs to listen to 'Benjamin Britten's drums' again and again -such whining is music to my ears!). Bernstein's narration is charming, though occasionally his explanation of ...

25 Thunderous Classics

Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ...

Vox (Classical), 2000

Good Music at a Great Price
I bought this CD mostly for "Entry of the Gladiators," which everyone will recognize as classic circus music. The performance on this CD (by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops) is the best available version of Entry of the Gladiators. The rest of the CD offers ...

Vox (Classical), 2000

A Wonderful Introduction to the Classics
With total playing time clocking in at 78:04 minutes of music, you'll be paying about 6-cents/minute, which is a better bargain than long distance phone calls, and often more rewarding! This disc is far superior than most other "Classics for Kids"-type recordings ...

Vox (Classical), 1997

A Grand symphonic adventure
This album provides a quick exposure to some of the best movements in the best symphonies. Many of the tracks will sound familiar. They are played well and have good sound quality. As a novice musician, i have great appreciation for it.

Prokofiev, Ravel: Piano Concertos, etc / Martha Argerich

Sergey Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

The young Argerich--fresh and completely without affectation
The few complainers about this famous recording have slipped fra down the list here at Amazon, and what's striking is that the things they hate about Argerich (mannered phrasing, overly aggressive attack, rushing, banging) are the very things we don't get here. Ms. ...

Alexander Glazunov, Aram Khachaturian, ...

Pentatone, 2004

The young Fischer has a definite "wow" factor
Even a jaded listener would blink twice at this recording, which showcases the German violin prodigy Julia Fischer. She's quite a dynamic player, and although lightning-fingered virtuosos aren't that rare nowadays, Fischer also possesses real charisma. She exudes ...

Debut Recital / Martha Argerich

Johannes Brahms, Frederic Chopin, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

WOW! Absolutely stunning!
I just bought this disc and was blown away by it. It was everything I thought it would be and then some. It has to be one of the great piano recital CDs of all time. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this.

Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky / Abbado

Sergey Prokofiev, Claudio Abbado, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

A breathtaking reading.
At first glance, Soviet music sung by a British Chorus and a Russian Mezzo, played by a British and an American orchestra, conducted by a German trained Italian seems too diverse to succeed, but this recording is not only a success, it's a great success. Of the ...
