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 press this CD received when it came out, mainly in England, where one critic said Boulez "eviscerated" the first movement of "La ...

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 burn songs. So, I ordered this after having seen the tracks listed and the composers and artists. I honestly expected to be ...

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 Seasons recording, beautiful though it undoubtedly is, is a good case in point). In this CD, however, everything comes together in ...

Romantic Adagios

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 Adagio for strings many times before and I was impressed but this was the first time that I was completely mesmerized. I highly ...

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.

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 you knew, but didn't know Mozart had written. It's a great introduction to the music of Mozart as well as a great addition to a ...
