Ain't This Gershwin Double-Decker Enough ?.......2001-01-22

There are all masterpieces of Gershwin you may want to hear in the panorama, including Rhapsody in Blue, and Porgy and Bess Suite. Plus they are performed by many highly recommended musicians, from Leonard Bernstein and the LA Phil, through an excellent violinist Ghil Shaham with pianist-conductor, Andre Previn.

I guarantee you, that if you want Gershwin without spending too much money, then this is probably the only one you'll ever need. It would be an excellent choice. And please enjoy the rest of the Grammophon Panorama series too.

Heartfelt, Haunting, Humorous.......2004-02-03

I really enjoy listening to this CD. I first bought it because I'm a fan of pianist Renee Rosnes, and was glad I did. The singing is clear and unprententious, the sax solos are swinging and to the point. I love the arrangements -- original takes on some old tin pan alley tunes and with a lot of dimension in feeling -- humorous at times, heartbreaking at others. The rhythm section is absolutely first-rate -- it's a rare chance to hear the excellent jazz pianist Renee Rosnes backing a singer -- she does it beautifully. It's worth getting the CD just to hear the duet work between Cooper and Rosnes on the haunting "Lonely House". I highly recommend "Since You Were Mine".

Just As Its Title Says: CLASSICS IN AMERICA.......2004-08-19

OK, so all the "great composers" maybe weren't from Austria, Germany, or Italy. This CD, right here, justifies the quite justifable elitest attitude (also known as "Patriotism"). Maybe another title, "America's Greatest Hits" might have been appropriate, but then, a dunce or two would be whining for "A Horse With No Name," so "Classics" is it. Just look at who and what is represented on these cds: George Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue" (you might remember THAT if you saw "Fantasia 2000") Leonard Bernstein conducts his own beautiful "Dances From West Side Story" (he also conducted Gershwin). There's John Phillip Sousa's "Stars And Stripes Forever," a piece of music so beautiful, so astoundingly patriotism-inducing that it'd even make a.....democrat stand up with his hand over his heart! The ubquitous (and greatly missed) Bernstein conducts Ives' "Central Park In The Dark," and "The Unanswered Question." And that's just the FIRST CD! CAN you improve on perfection? CD #2 is a resounding YES! Here's Berbstein again conducting Samuel Barber's "Adagio For String," and Aaron Copland's beautiful "Appalachin Spring." And here's where the rest of the cd hits you like an enormous amyl-nitrate rush: Seiji Ozawa conducts the San Francisco Orchestra performing William Russo's unvbelievable "Three Piece For Blues Band And Orchestra." Ozawa, the story goes, enjoyed "going out for a cold one" after orchestra rehearsals, and he was especially was fond of a local blues band, The Seigel-Schwall Band. He commissioned his composer friend, William Russo, to compose something that the Band could could perfom with the orchestra. And I know you're thinking, "OH yeah, Procol Harum Live In Edmonton, 'Conquistador,' yeah." NO: As much as I ADORE Procol Harum, there is NO comparison! The Seigel-Schwall Band was strictly a BLUES band, and Russo - whew! composed three pieces that not only altered, but definitely enhanced the Band's electric blues. Like I'm so fond of saying,"By Alteration, Enhances!" My brother is a classically trained symphonic musician, and one time - wow, 25 years ago - he was playing "Three Pieces" on my battered stereo while I was in the shower. And I couldn't WAIT to "dry off," and run screaming in the romm, "WAHT IS THAT YOU'RE PLAYING?" Trust me on this folks, you won't believe it either - and you'll thank Heaven that it's on a CD, because if it was an album, you'd wear the grroves right out by replaying it over and over. And OLD ON, it ain't finished yet: the remainder of the CD features Arthur Feilder conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra performin 3 of the fantastically-talented but almost unknown, Scott Joplin. You remember that great piano music in the movie,"The Sting?" That was Scott Joplin - and he's represented here with "The Entertainer" (I dare you to keep from tapping your right foot when you listen to this),"The Sugar Cane Rag," and the "Maple Leaf Rag." The cd closes with an undiscovered GEM, excerpts fro Joplin's opera "Tremonshia."
This is pure, undiluted AMERICAN music, people. PLEASE do yourself a favor and put down the metal, the "alt," the rapping, the country 'n western, and even my beloved Rock and Roll for
about 2 and a half hours of some of the most incredible - and not THE LEAST BIT BORING! - Classical Music. Music that AMERICA was responsible for!

Eclectic collection, Russo's Three Pieces first time on CD.......2001-09-23

Eclectic collection of some well known and some previously unavailable works. The first appearance of the complete "Three Pieces for Blues Band and Symphony Orchestra" by Williams Russo and the Siegel-Schwall Band. Excellent recordings. Bargain price.

Daniele Amfitheatrof Project.......2005-10-18

An interesting compilation, which spotlights the career of the unjustly neglected Daniele Amfitheatrof, as conductor and, later, composer in Hollywood. Amfitheatrof's concert work, "American Panorama" is a fun piece, whereas his score for "The Beginning or the End", MGMs film on the development of the atomic bomb, is a true jem. Unfortunately, as this CD has been mastered from the best available 78rpm discs, the sound will, of course, be low-fi. Nontheless, a fine effort indeed.

Wonderful!.......2002-02-03

These 3 pieces conducted by Mata have wonderful sound, great dynamics and appropriate timing. Comparing Harris's 3rd to the version conducted by Bernstein; Mata maintains better timing throughout and especially in the slow sections. Bernstein seems to rush through the piece, never adjusting the pace or dynamics. (Not to mention, it sounds in one section like someone fell down the stairs backstage... a lot of extra noise in the Bernstein recording.)
One of the best "On the Waterfront's" I've heard and you cannot deny the southwestern flare that the Dallas orchestra captures on "Billy The Kid" by Copeland... Bernstein and the New York boys can play the notes, but don't seem to quite snare the feeling of Copeland that Mata does.
One of my Favorites!

Excellent sound but unemotional playing.......1999-04-06

The recorded sound on this CD is so good, you almost don't notice the lack of emotion in the playing.

Bernstein's On the Waterfront suite has the most emotion, especially in the trumpet solo midway through the peice. Unfortunately, the music is extremely repetitive and gets boring.

The Harris symphony seems good untill you listen to it played by Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic (DG #419780). Dallas has better sound, but New York has better playing.

Billy the Kid has some very exciting moments including the end of the introduction and the finale of the peice. The trumpet solos in this peice are very dissapointing. The player (different than in the Bernstein) only does half a job. He plays all the right notes but does nothing with them. Also, the playing is a little "straight." The dance sections have no "lilt." I prefer the recording with Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony (Delos #3104). The trumpet solos are much better and the dances have the required "lilt."
