I had heard Vaughan-Williams Fourth Symphony on Public Radio and wanted to hear it again. What a surprise to find all his symphonies in one collection. Wonderful recordings by Previn and the evergreen London Symphony! Beautiful acoustic settings and no audience noises. Very Ravelian. Thanks CD Universe for your fine customer service.and for bringing this most excellent collection to my attention to my attention and to America.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No A first choice
For this marvelous music, some of the greatest symphonies of the 20th century, the Previn cycle is a satisfying first choice, especially at the price. Too many conductors lose sight of the structure of these pieces in the quest for a glowing, yet soporific, sound. Not Previn. He understands that the music is symphonic and beautiful, and draws the warmth out of the orchestra's sound itself. He keeps the line moving and shapes each movement wonderfully. The peak is reached in Symphonies 2, 3 [exceptional here], 5 [maybe the best ever] 7, 8 and 9, and the remaining are strongly done. An added bonus is the charming and hard to find Tuba concerto!

Here are 24 songs by Bertolt Brecht with music by Hanns Eisler, Paul Dessau and Kurt Schwaen. The Swedish translation of 18 of these songs has been done by Jan Hammarlund himself. Unlike many Brecht collections, this CD features many hard-to-find Brecht tunes that were not written for his plays. These intimate poems give a view into Brecht's interior life, and his struggles as a refugee in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and finally the United States. Hammarlund's deeply personal vocals add authenticity to these songs, beautifully rendered by Richard Pilat on piano and Ola Sundström on guitar.

Complete Collections - Vaughan Williams: The 9 Symphonies
$19.69
Tenor Rolando Villazn presents a recording of Italian arias by Handel. Conductor Paul McCreesh and the Gabrieli Players join Villazn, giving the listener both an authentic period performance as well as a new twist on familiar Handel repertoire. To suit his voice, Villazn performs not only tenor arias, but also transposed mezzo-soprano arias--a practice familiar to Handel. This deluxe edition includes the complete CD and a DVD of aria performances taken from an exclusive TV special, interviews and more - all in an elegant hardcover booklet. Singers Rebecca Bottone and Jean Gandoullet perform as well as cellist Christopher Suckling and harpsichorist Robert Howarth, with Da capo embellishments by Jory Vinikour.
