For those who want the most remembered passages of classical music's best-loved works, here's a package for you. On this bargain priced double-CD, you'll find music from 40 different classical composers; for the most part, the recordings excerpted here are some of the very best. Of course, you only get one Bach sampling (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, played by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra) and one Mozart (A Little Night Music conducted by Herbert von Karajan), but this is still a nice collection--perhaps the starting point for a budding collection of classical music. This set's downfall? Unfortunately, though the liner notes discuss the evolution of classical music chronologically, the tracks are programmed in alphabetical order by composer's last name. This makes for some startling transitions! Emil Gilels's reflective performance of the Adagio from Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata is followed by the crashing cymbals and bombast of Carmen's "March of the Toreadors," a recipe for a heart attack if there ever was one. Still, there's something here for everyone and the liner notes even explain what movies this music can be found in. A nice touch. --Jason Verlinde

1 out of 5 stars Waste of money.......2006-01-12

Watch out for the volume leveling mentioned in another review. Surely the compliers could have come up with a better sort order than by composer. The change in tempo/volume between pieces makes it impossible to enjoy. My two CD's ended up in the trash.

5 out of 5 stars Great Music Compilation.......2005-08-15

This is a great CD full of many songs that you will recognize and enjoy. If you are someone who likes classical music but doesn't necessarily know which songs or which composers you like, then this CD is for you. You will likely recognize many of the songs as the classical songs you would have picked out to be your favorites.

1 out of 5 stars If you like classical music don't buy this CD........2005-03-11

Most of the tracks were chopped down to 3-4 minutes so some of the best parts of the compositions are missing. I don't know what I was thinking trying to buy 40 classical songs on two CD's. If you really want to enjoy the music you would do better to purchase a CD with fewer, but better quality tracks.

5 out of 5 stars A must for anyone wanting the staples of classical music.......2005-02-23

In my years of experience teaching Fine Arts to high school students, I know that the majority, if not all, of the music included on this album is commonly used in collge music appreciation courses. This is an excellent sample of truly all the "greatest hits" of classical music. My students enjoy listening to the music and have later told me when take their required music apreciation courses in college that they "already know it all" because of this CD! The recordings are clear, the selections are passionate, and the listener will gain a familiarity with all of the most commonly heard classical music used in tv commercials, movies, etc.
I recommend this album, along with the boxed set, "Age of the Classics" for anyone who is interested in becoming familiar with the most famous staples of classical music.

5 out of 5 stars A great compilation.......2005-02-09

This cd somes up some of the greatest pieces of instrumental (and is some cases choral) music ever written. It is a great starter for a beginning classical music lover or a quick and easy all-in-one for those of us who study classical music for a living. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who wants to love or already does love classical music.

He informs you that this set is not the legenday recordings of the last 6 syms made with the Columbia on Sony (on vinyl it was the Columbia label, now bought by Sony).
With with recent news last night that M Jackson may be selling his Sony recording holdings, worth $1billion, we may soon see the Walter/Columbia recordings released eventually.
Its the Columbia SO set you want to own.
I got my cd set from a used dealer in england 3 yrs ago, its on Sony/germany, release 1989.
See my comments on the Bohm/Berlin complete.




I'm back with another comment.
I have just completed a compare between Bohm and Walter/Columbia.
I have to give the nod to the Bohm, ....but then there are times I give the nod to Walter/Columbia...hummm, as with all Mozart, he is Hermes par excellent, and that mercurial quality is reflected in mere mortal attempts at capturing atht genius from another realm.

      5 out of 5 stars Classical and Romantic symphonies.......2006-01-24

      There's no question that the bulk of Arturo Toscanini's repertoire came from the Classical and Romantic eras. Here is a compilation of several outstanding symphonies that Toscanini conducted during his long career, taken from remarkable RCA Victor recordings of the NBC Symphony Orchestra.

      The haunting, sometimes tragic side of Mozart's elusive 40th symphony did not escape Toscanini. It was easy to dismiss much of Mozart's work as "lightweight" or even frivolous, in the light of the major steps taken by composers in the nineteenth century. Perhaps music-lovers were spoiled by the greater drama, power, and innovation of Beethoven. Yet Toscanini recognized that there ARE numerous times in Mozart's music where this brilliant genius wrote profoundly dramatic and serious tunes. The 40th symphony, in particular, is filled with hints that the composer recognized that not everything was wonderful; anyone who has seen the movie "Amadeus" or read the true accounts of the composer's life will recognize that life was a great struggle for Mozart, despite his fame and successes and it wasn't just because Mozart couldn't manage his money. Nevertheless, this performance of the familiar Mozart symphony, one of the last three he composed (during the summer of 1788), is absolutely inspired and exciting.

      Toscanini recognized the true genius in Mozart and saw that Haydn was more human and possibly more approachable. Haydn was also closer to Beethoven, certainly through their teacher-student relationship and Beethoven's own continued devotion to Haydn, as demonstrated at the performance of the oratorio "The Creation," near the end of Haydn's life, when Beethoven bowed and kissed Haydn's hand! The so-called "surprise" symphony, one of 12 written for performances in London in the 1790's, is given its full due in this performance. This is Haydn at his best and Toscanini's interpretation is among the best, even if some may complain it is not up to the standards of today's "original instruments" performances.

      Luigi Cherubini's "Symphony in D" is rarely performed or recorded anymore. It's really unfortunate that such an enjoyable work is neglected. Certainly Toscanini's recording brings out the best in this dramatic work that so points toward the development of Romanticism. It is much in the spirit of Schubert and Beethoven, one of the rare Italian symphonies that really makes one wish Cherubini or one of the other Italian composers better known for operas had written more purely orchestral works. One can also enjoy Toscanini's performances of the overtures to some of the Cherubini operas, particularly "Medea"; these are also quite good and available elsewhere.

      Robert Schumann's third symphony, called "The Rhenish," is a curious five-movement work that is given a thoroughly enjoyable performance by the NBC Symphony in this recording, taken from a 1949 broadcast concert in Studio 8-H. This writer first heard the recording in one of the imported European pressings on vinyl and was amazed at the powerful playing, beginning with the first movement with its remarkably precise and exciting playing. There's even Toscanini's familiar humming as he became so involved in performance! The deeply moving section depicting the cathedral in Cologne is filled with awe and deep feeling. This sets the stage for the triumphant finale. Once again, the overall performance sets the standard for performances of this symphony.

      Finally, there is the amazing 1953 recording of Dvorak's ninth symphony, which was, of course, considered his fifth for many years, until his earlier, first four symphonies were finally published, performed, and recorded. This Carnegie Hall performance is about as powerful as any recorded. One marvels at the fact that Toscanini turned 86 years old the year this recording was made. All of the beloved melodies, wholly original (Dvorak insisted) but inspired by Negro spirituals and Indian chants, are played with great feeling. This is clearly a performance to treasure.

      The overall collection is a good representation of the variety of symphonies, other than the Beethvoen and Brahms, that were part of Toscanini's standard repertoire.

      4 out of 5 stars A fair portrait of the Maestro in familiar territory.......2005-12-07

      In the 78 era Toscanini set the standard for almost every classical composer, each put through his trademark precision drill. Especially in America, where Toscanini devoted decades to the Met, the NY Phil, and the NBC Sym., only Stokowski had a fraction of his public renown and none of the reverence accorded Toscanini. Here we get him in a range of standard works: the Mozart 40th, Haydn "Surprise" Sym. 94, Schumann "Rhenish," Dvorak "New World," and the now forgotten Cherubini Sym. in D, a personal favorite.

      None sounds very different from the others. Toscanini always avoided excessive underlining in romantic works and mincing refinement in classical ones. He kept strict time, though with a breath of relaxation so as not to sound like a martinet. To a generation thrilled by precision and dash, these were benchmark performances. I don't think they've worn particularly well, though. The Mozart and Haydn contain more charm than I remembered, nad the newly remastered sound is gratifying after decades of horrible transfers, but if you didn't know that this was Toscanini, how much character can really be detected? Four stars for great memories of a historic maestro.

      4 out of 5 stars Why did it take so long?.......2000-08-15

      I have been collecting and/or listening to Arturo Toscanini's recordings since 1967, and they have NEVER sounded this good. Indeed, I challenge you to play this pressing of the Haydn #94 for someone and ask them to guess when it was recorded. The sound is so good that they will probably guess the early '60s.

      But here the quandary: Why did it take RCA Victor nearly a half-century to "decompress" Toscanini's recordings and make them sound almost lifelike? I mean, look at it this way: with the advent of modern tape recorders, digital technology, etc., they should have been able to make them sound this good during their first reissues of the early 1990s. Granted, all of those CDs at least sounded full and solid rather than thin and shrill, but you were still presented with what I call a "two-dimensional orchestra," one in which allthesectionswerecongestedtogetherlikethis. The result was a muddy wall of sound that still didn't sound entirely real.

      As for the performances: this Mozart 40th is epic, with a tragic grandeur missing from most performances. The Haydn 94th may not be Urtext, but it is beautifully played and fun to listen to. The Cherubini is a lightweight piece, yet still better than Schumann's 4th Symphony or Brahms' 3rd. The Schumann 3rd is absolutely thrilling, and the Dvorak 9th is still (to me) the best performance of this symphony ever recorded. Here, Toscanini minimized the "folksy" quality of the music in favor of a leaner, more Tchaikovskian reading, and the result is deeply moving as well as having great forward momentum.

      You may be wondering whether or not this 2-CD set is worth getting. Wonder no longer. This is a fabulous tribute to what the Maestro was able to accomplish with a second-rate orchestra, as are the new sets of Wagner (Vol. 7), French orchestral music (Vol. 9), Italian orchestral music, and especially the "Choral Works" album with his mind-boggling performance of the Verdi Requiem. I only gave this set 4 stars, however, because RCA still can't make the Studio 8-H recordings (the Mozart and Schumann) sound ENTIRELY good...but we have definitely moved closer to reality.

          This is yet another gem of a recording released by the Infinity Digital label. The brilliant performances on this cd breathe fresh life into these often-played Mozart masterpieces. While Symphony 41 "Jupiter" is more well-known, my personal favorite is number 40, which is a little darker in character but very profound. These compositions touch the very depths of the human soul as almost no other music can. You will not regret buying this cd at this incredible price.
