Anderson conducts 47 of his own compositions on this recording. The performances were originally released on Decca LPs.
Collection is a generous, double-disc set that features 47 of Leroy Anderson's finest moments, including such milestones as "Blue Tango," "Sleigh Ride," and "Syncopated Clock." As a matter of fact, the compilation comes close to being definitive, since it effectively traces Anderson's musical development, and features his best (and best-known) tunes. The result is both an effective introduction and a fascinating retrospective of a gifted easy listening/classical-pop composer. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Violin virtuoso Joshua Bell turns his attention to the music of Leonard Bernstein with a program that features music from the composer's Broadway musicals, most notably 'West Side Story.' The album opens with a suite constructed by William David Brohn of themes from that fabled score, a finely wrought musical tapestry that serves as a showcase for Bell's prodigious artistry. The violinist works his way through the familiar melodies and two cadenzas with his usual combination of dazzling technique and lustrous tone.
Bell further demonstrates the range of his talent in songs from other Bernstein musicals: Brohn's arrangements of "Lonely Town" and "New York, New York" from 'On The Town,' and John Corigliano's adaptation of "Make Our Garden Grow" from 'Candide.' The album also includes one of Bernstein's finest concert works, "Serenade after Plato's 'Symposium,'" here given a powerfully vivid reading by Bell. David Zinman and the Philharmonia Orchestra provide fine support throughout this well-conceived tribute to a musical giant.
This selection is also available in Super Audio format.

"Challenging" is putting it mildly when one takes on the fragmented soundscapes laid out by Arvo Pärt, collected from a period in his life where he was contemplating (even struggling with) his own sense of compositional identity. Here, the musical aesthetics of yester-century seem tossed about in tumultuous waves of the avant-garde. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, "Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra (Pro Et Contra)" is an unexpected bouquet of splinters, rusted springs, and dangling tangents, sandwiched between momentary Bach-inspired proclamations. Where applicable, Frans Helmerson darts about with appropriate reverence on the cello. "Perpetuum Mobile, Op. 10" follows next, a tense crescendo of orchestra pulsing and swelling toward a seemingly definitive climax, yet offers no real resolution as it passes ominously overhead and away toward the horizon. The two passages of "Symphony #1" are likewise unhinged, elusive, brilliant, and scattered. Brass clusters and plucked strings shiver through some daunting passages which may have difficulty finding more than scholarly appreciation. "Symphony No. 2" continues the flustered dialogue in much the same way, teetering over the sharp cliffs of Shostakovich and Ligeti, sometimes so brashly as to embrace the apocalypse. The third movement is powerful, menacing, and deliberate at the outset; singed by the flames as it progresses; then blossoming into a lullaby that has a couple of seizures on its way to close. "Symphony #3" opens stoically and sweetly; an epic strategy in romanticism that conquers the listener with less-dissonant attacks and more triumphant ultimatums. Dedicated to Neeme Järvi (the featured conductor of the album), the tone of this symphony is every bit as ominous as what precedes it without being as structurally jagged around the edges. Pärt's unrest is everywhere on this release, and through the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra he reveals an awkwardness that the uninitiated may have a harder time digesting. It has the feel of a lost treasure, but the sound of a lost soul. ~ Glenn Swan

Like her debut, Anna Russell's second album Encore? is a humorous collection of parodies of classical music and opera, highlighted by "Hemletto, or Prosciuttino," which satirizes Verdi and Shakespeare simultaneously. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
