Baby Galileo Review.......2006-03-18

I love all of the Baby Einstein DVD's, so the music CD has been just as good as the DVD's. I play it all the time when my son is in the car and it seems to calm him and keep his attention. I even listen to it in the car when my son is not with me. It is relaxing and soothing. I definitely recommend the CD's for the car.

Toscanini in Highly Intense Performances - Even for Him!.......2007-06-30

These gripping performances in improved sound give Toscanini's wartime way with the heroic Beethoven symphonies 3 and 5. Here you have a chance to catch something of the genuine visceral impact Toscanini in full flight creates.
Toscanini responded to the ground-breaking nature of these works quite differently than other conductors, turning ever more to a personal confrontation - ala Jacob wrestling with the angel - with the fiercely bound compositional Gordian knots binding the works' drama; away from the work's extroverted and expansive architecture, their effusive and optimistic sentimental lyricism. Although there will always be those who just out and out cannot handle this conductor's drive and passion, I personally find it revelatory, and one of the joys of collecting records. One hears a great artist (Toscanini) struggling with the richness of the music, its extraordinary concentration. Toscanini challenges the listener to follow his vision of these works, arrived at after many decades of performance, and most closely allied to the late quartets. Toscanini the string player here frequently calls to mind the intellectual force of Beethoven's late masterpiece, The Grosse Fugue. Compared to most readings Toscanini's with their inescapable logical impetus seem almost like Black Holes - unswervingly inward-looking, relentless and unflinching in organization.
There is a strong element of the experimentor, a term perhaps more needed in discussions of Toscanini. These performances form part of a life-long recherche: to dismiss such playing as perfunctory or too fast is more than an injustice, it's a blunder.

If you appreciate Toscanini this CD offers some of his most profound and exploratory readings. Buy it before it disappears!

CELEBRATING WAR'S END.......2006-03-27

First, there needs to be a correction: these performances are from 1945 (May 18th for Beethoven's 5th & September 1st for the 3rd), celebrating VE and VJ Day respectively. Both are quite good and reccommended. I am familiar with the 1933 NY Phil. performance of the 5th, and give the edge to that. However, the 1939 broadcast of the 5th and the 1953 broadcast of the 3rd are the finest performances I know of. Kleiber (both father and son) have great propulsion in the first movement of the 5th but don't carry thru the other three. As to the "Eroica", only George Szell comes close (very) to holding you from start to finish.

Two legendary concert performances!.......2005-11-15

The Fifth Symphony was recorded on April 9 1933. The date is extremely important. His febrile temperament looks like the delicate and unstable state of the things in the world. The Italian Master travels constant and eagerly. And despite the genius blossoms, illuminating the score in every one of his musical tours, he is son of his Age and the dark shadows that waggle on the world do not announce limpid horizons. This reading express eloquently this supreme conviction. Beethoven 's personality added with this universal patrimony as the Fifth Symphony represents, has constituted much more than a simple device of artistic expression. The eighty per cent of the mankind still is far to understand the richness and the whole significance of this mythic work. The fierceness and sharp dissonances, the visible contrast between the verticality (fate) and horizontality ( the human will) are confronted over and over, and it is precisely the triumph of the will (in the Greek meaning) what it confers this Symphony its enviable and supreme place.

The Eroica recorded in 1939, remains possibly as my favorite interpretation of all the previous or later versions of the Italian Master. It is loaded of such visceral and mercurial conviction and steeled dignity in the Funeral March; filled with sublime expressiveness and energy that must be included between the supreme versions ever made about this colossal and milestone work.

So there is more than a reason to acquire this invaluable historic document. There must not be any single doubt about it.

Finally I would like to finish with the final statement written by Fürtwangler to a friend in a letter:

"Will it be that Beethoven failed to us, or on the contrary were we who failed to him?"

A MUST HAVE.......2003-06-03

Every serious bassoon player should be required to own this cd, especially anyone considering auditioning for an orchestra. McGill explains how to play the excerpts in order to give them that special touch the judges are looking for. He also plays each example with such ease-- it almost sounds easy! This cd gives you something to strive for as an aspiring bassoonist.

Not just for bassoon players !!.......2000-10-16

I first heard of this recording from an article by Owen Lee in DOUBLE BASSIST magazine, in an article on Bach's Suite No. 3 (the 4th in a series on Bach's Suites for Unaccompanied Cello on Double-Bass) - a piece that I keep in my practice folder, and take out periodically. Lee said this CD is "the finest dissertation on musical phrasing that I have come across." Since I'm working on a guitar-bass duet arrangement of Ravel's "Bolero" and this is one of the excerpts, I figured I'd check it out.

I play primarily jazz bass, but have practiced "classical" music to get a better perspective on my weaknesses in intonation, phrasing, and overall style. And although I have never been one to disregard the other instruments in the orchestra (I have always enjoyed a well-played woodwind line), I have never got around to actually practicing these excerpts on my bass. Until now, of course. Anymore, I feel I am robbing myself of some incredible musical opportunities if I limit my vocabulary to double bass recordings.

Album Description

Includes Symphony NO. 5 and Piano Concerto No. 4. The work of Ludwig van Beethoven has been called the culmination of the Classical era or the wellspring of the Romantic era in European music. Historians today see him as the heir of Haydn and Mozart, carrying their musical discoveries to a new level of complexity and integration. No composer in the nineteenth century could aspire to the creation of a symphony without taking into account the example of Beethoven. In his Symphony No. 5, Beethoven achieved an unprecedented degree of unity and coherence through the use of a short musical phrase called a "movite" which recurs a number of times throughout the piece. In Piano Concerto No. 4, Beethoven breaks with tradition by beginning with an understated piano solo rather than a substantial orchestral introduction. Each CD package includes two CDs. The first, a Musical Performance Disk, features the top performers and symphony orchestras in the world, performing the best-loved music from the classical music Greats.

Accompanying the Musical Performance Disc is a Conductor's Guide on a separate CD. Here, Maestro Gerard Schwarz discusses the musical performances in depth--movement by movement, section by section--using examples from the recorded performances. There's no better, more enjoyable way to get a basic education in classical music.
