Customer Beethoven - The Nine Symphonies/Masur, Leipzig Gewandhaus So Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A bargain but desirable even if the tab were inflationary
I have railed against the sound of certain rereleases recently, but here is one that sounds beautiful. Moreover, the playing of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra is wonderful and Masur's conducting immensely satisfying. Preferences among performances of frequently recorded and musically demanding works are bound to be highly personal. So let me just say that these are short on idiosyncrasy and long on eloquence. In the Ninth the distinquished soloists and the Leipzig Radio Chorus are splendid. It may seem invidious to single out one instrumentalist from among his colleagues, especially when the orchestra's playing is so all of a piece, but the principal flautist is an exceptional artist. The price of this set is almost ridiculously low. I say, don't miss it.

Recorded on June 13, 1960. Originally released on MGM (3872). Includes liner notes by Tom Jones & Peter FIlichia. On June 13, 1960, MGM Records made a recording of an off-Broadway musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt called The Fantasticks. At the time, the production was struggling to stay alive, and producer Lore Noto thought a cast recording might help generate more interest and some extra revenue. Since then, The Fantasticks has become a veritable Rock of Gibraltar on the theatrical landscape, having broken every longevity record for a musical production. This spring 2000 re-release of the cast recording, remastered in 24-bit digital audio, coincides with the 40th anniversary of the play's opening. It's also a deservedly first-class treatment of a sweet, clever, yet deceptively unassuming score. "Try to Remember," "Soon It's Gonna Rain," and "Much More" are the most famous songs in The Fantasticks, but there's not a number here that won't invoke smiles of pleasure, outright laughter at their lyricism and humor. Played on only ...

Lyrical and reflective music to enjoy as you relax, study or meditate. Particularly lovely for those journeying inward or on a healing path. Third in a series of CDs produced by Celebration Recordings benefiting grass roots organizations addressing environmental concerns and women\'s issues.Exquisite and accessible -- enjoyed by those who know piano solos well and those who are new to the beauty of Classical music. These pieces soothe the soul, and serve to transport the listener into another realm. They are the jewels of Classical piano music. The Brahms selections are his most beloved piano solos. Written late in life he wrote in his notebooks that if more than one person were in the room at the time they were being played, it would be too many. They are that precious and intimate.The Chopin selections are familiar to those who know and love piano literature. The first, his only Beceuse, or cradle song, offers a mesmerizing bass of rocking, rocking and the lyrical melody is gives song to the soul in flight as the infant sleeps.Scriabin, the Russian mystic -- he believed he could levitate! Much influenced by Chopin, these selections are his less complex compositions, with captivating, tonal colors.This album, as all of Margot\'s albums, showcases women composers as well as the men of the Classical cannon. Clara Wieck-Schumann, we know as Robert\'s wife. But she had a huge following as she concertized all over Europe. She wrote beautiful music as well as editing Robert Schumann\'s pieces. Germaine Tailleferr, the only woman in \"Les Six\" the French Impressionist musicians of the 20th century. Dianne Goolkasian Rahbee, a contemporary composer living in the Boston area, who often derives her melodies from her Armenian roots. Ending with Koharik Gazarossian, born in Constantinople and then Paris. Her etudes reflect the early liturgical chants and village songs of her Armenian heritage. Her set of 24 Etudes follow the framework of Chopin\'s. She weaves the Middle East and the French tradition into a mysterious and haunting composition.This album is a great gift for yourself or someone you know who is seeking music for the soul ! Margot graduated from Northwestern University\'s School of Music with a performance degree in harp. She earned a Master\'s in Education (Guidance Counseling Major) from Loyola University of Chicago. Further study includes The Guild for Spiritual Guidance, a Certificate for introductory courses in “Music for Healing†from the New School in NYC and piano study with Maria Cisyk in NYC (Juilliard, BMu, Mmu; Yale MMu, PhD.)Margot’s recordings can be heard on National Public Radio stations across the country. \"Meditations: Contemplative Classical Piano Solos \" is the third in a continuing series of benefit CD\'s produced by Celebration Recordings and recorded at Clinton Recording Studios, NY.NY and the SUNY Purchase recital hall. All costs for production and distribution of the CDs are underwritten. When you buy the CD from CD Baby, the wholesale amount goes ...
