High Energy Symphonies, August 2, 2005

J. Hollopeter - See all my reviews
  

This review is from: 25 Classical Favorites (Audio CD)

If you want some Classical music to sleep to, don't buy this CD. If you want some high energy symphonies, however, I highly recommend it. From Bach to Vivaldi, the pure energy of this CD will give you a new understanding of the joys of Classical music. Just don't listen to Track 25, because I have no idea why John Philip Sousa is included with Tchaichovsky.

Priceless masterpieces for an affordable price., June 3, 2000

Roberto Lopes (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 25 Classical Favorites (Audio CD)

If this record costed ten times more it would have still a small price.The selection is excellent. In my opinion, the record has some of the most remarkable works of art ever created.Some of my preferred are Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Symphony in D, Tchaikovsky's Russian Dance, Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and Violin Concerto No. 1 and Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3.It was a pleasant surprise to see a so good record costing so little.

25 Famous Classics, August 16, 2000

Hohenzolern@aol.com (LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 25 Classical Favorites (Audio CD)

The 25 selections are all well performed and are popular classical compositions. Mozart's music, Tchaikovsky ballet music, including the beautiful finale to Sleeping Beauty "the Panorama" scene. The music of J.S. Bach, his 1st violin concerto and Rachmaninoff's piano classic Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini. These are a great collection of music for a beginner or a fan of classical music. I recommend it highly. I am a fan of Mozart, Grieg, Mendelsshon, Wagner and Tchaikovsky. Grieg and Wagner are not to be found here. That would usually be under the Romantic Era composers. There are many cd's under that category. The Cd is "Classical" favorites so the emphasis is not so much on emotions. The emphasis is on instrumentation and orchestration. These are all very exceptional and I garauntee satisfaction.
