Superb transfers, faithful to the 78s.......2004-01-25

Opus Kura is a recently introduced independent Japanese CD label devoted to faithful transfers of 78-rpm-era historical recordings. I had just finished the new biography of Bruno Walter (by Ryding and Pechefsky), and my mouth watered to hear these two performances with the pre-Anschluss Vienna Philharmonic, the Mozart in particular, which was a specialty of Walter's to direct from the keyboard. These transfers are ideal, like I would do them myself (if I had the capability to do good side-joins, which is the case here). There is enough shellac "hiss" to know that the original sound is not being overfiltered, yet it is not obtrusive to those used to playing 78s, and will likely be easily disregarded by those who are not. The richness of sound obtained from the original discs cannot be disregarded. Exemplary. And the performances are incomparable.

Clasicos de las Americas has Good Gottschalk.......2004-02-23

This six CD set has the Central and South American greats, but I prefer the North American who did some of his best composition South of the border. Louis-Moreau Gottschalk had the life of a modern day Rock Star. He is joined in this set by such prominent players as Heitor Villa-Lobos, George Gershwin, Augustin Barrios, and Carlos Guastavino. George Rabol is a favorite pianist.

Amazon.com essential recording

Don't let the startling double-time opening of this Gloria put you off--listen with an open mind and you'll be surprised at how much sense it makes. Rinaldo Alessandrini's reading has many such surprises; some movements are taken very quickly, others surprisingly slowly, yet his choices seem fresh instead of perverse. The Magnificat is lesser known and thus less surprising, but it's every bit as lively. The soloists all sing nicely (although Biccire doesn't blend well in the soprano duet); the clear-voiced York and vigorous Mingardo provide imaginative ornaments. The excellent French chorus Akademia and Alessandrini's orchestra don't miss a single one of Alessandrini's beats. --Matthew Westphal

Best Gloria buy.......2002-05-10

This Gloria is the same as Amazon recommend as an essential on that special page but it has another front, is cheaper in price (a bargain) and an extra disc too (at least my copy has an extra disc).

Gloria starts VERY fast but Allesandrini give us a very special Gloria with great singing (and he slow it down after a while... tempi is probably something you find veryy odd, special but he seems to give us a new great dimension of this work AND it works). This must be one of the best Gloria versions out there.

Magnificat was a big surprise for me never heard before and it is gorgeous, splendid performed.

Sound and overall quality is superb. This was my first Opus 111 set (record company) and I am more than satisfied.

Awesome.......2000-10-17

i am 19 years old and i usually don't buy classical music but i have wanted lately to get into some classical music. so i ask our classical guy at my work for a good CD that had vocals on it. and he gave me this CD. and i was blown away with what i heard. the vocals go so well with the music that it is hard for me to stop the CD. this is truly a great piece of work. a good buy and it is only $8.
