A MUST BUY!!!.......2001-03-03

If I had to choose one CD to spend a month locked in isolation with, this would be the one. Its varied but it flows well together. It's restive and soothing. The quality is beyond excellent!!! At the price, anyone is a fool not to own it, and give it lavishly as gifts. Its gorgeous, lush and fabulous! Everyone that hears it in our home, falls in love with it!

Great music, Excellent Value!.......2000-07-26

Rarely can one buy so much good music for so little. This compilation features almost 80 minutes of high quality music.

This truly is essential!.......1999-10-23

What a brilliant idea from one of our leading record companies! On this disc, they have assembled a programme of highlights from their vast collection of choral, vocal, orchestral, and solo instrumental music that is very satisfying. As with most CDs of this sort, it is a case of some tracks not appealing as much as others- I for instance am a lover of choral music so the gorgeous renditions of Stanford's "Magnificat" by St. Paul's Cathedral Choir or John Sheppard's divine motet "Libera Nos" by the Sixteen are obvious preferences of mine. However, whether you seek dyed-in-the-wool orchestral classics as Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony, less familiar works performed by period artists (such as "'E irei Madr'a Vigo" by ancient Spanish composer Martin Codax), or snippets of breathtaking instrumental solos (such as the rousing performance of Lefebure-Wely's "Sortie in E flat" which is sadly only an excerpt), this disc is bound to have something on it for you. And all of it is finely recorded.

Very good performance..........2007-03-28

If you are planning on buying this CD, don't be afraid to do so.
I won't spend my time criticizing the recording quality, and how the mics should have been set, and what the engineers did and didn't do. I'll just help you with what you'll hear.
Overall this performance is good. It was recorded live in Vienna, February 1993.
Mendelssohn's Fourth is exciting, with a spirit of joviality in it, you won't become bored. The slow movement is beautiful; superb strings and woodwinds. In my opinion, a very well done, solid performance.
Shostakovich's Fifth is also a very good performance. The tempi are accurate, to my understanding of the score, and the playing is very solid, as usual, as one can expect from Solti, he does bring out the brass, and they deliver. The Finale, the most talked about movement of the symphony, does give the sense of marching in the Red Square, but Solti simply allows the music to speak for itself. Yes there may be other recordings of the Fifth (Rostropovich blah, blah, blah; Bernstein which is also good), but I truly believe, being a member of an orchestra, that one should acquire this CD if you can. Now, there are downfalls (in my opinion) to the Fifth's performance which I found rather disappointing, the trumpet player simply doesn't cut it. I was expecting to hear the triumphant sound of the trumpet near the end, and it simply left me unsatisfied. The trumpet seems to run out of fuel near the end. Also, the section right after the slow middle section of the finale, is taken quite slow (in my experience, yes it is supposed to be a reminder of the D minor theme right before the liberation section) but to my knowledge of the score, I do believe that Solti took this section way too slow. But overall, if you are thinking of purchasing this recording do so. You have nothing to lose, and you'll be able to judge for yourself.

An exciting CD to say the least.......1999-11-30

From the first notes of the Mendelssohn to the last notes of the 5th, this is a CD that will enthrall you.

The Mendelssohn is joyfull and exuberant. The Shostakovich is brooding at times, but overall it is music that will make you listen at the edge of your seat. The finale movement of the 5th is fast and furious, and one of the most exciting orchestral pieces you will ever hear.

A perfect introduction to these two great composers, this CD should be in every collection.

Odd pairing and electric..........1999-09-29

This CD, a superb live account of both pieces is an uncommon pairing, but certainly an exhilarating one. The "Italian" in played with an exuberance that few but Solti seem to draw from the fine, but sometimes reserved players of the VPO. Shostakovich's most popular piece is given here a very unique account, with many interesting tempo treatments. Not as bulldozeresque as any of Bernstein's recorded versions (there is brass, though- this is Solti), and certainly not as even-tempered as Temirkanov's RCA recording, this 5 is a prize, and an accomplishment for Solti and the VPO. Only on the finest systems will an avid listener get the faintest hint that this is a live recording. Phenomenal disc.

Essential listening for serious horn students.......2002-10-15

It is not often that one has the chance to hear one of the world's great principal hornists play many of the prominent orchestral solos up close. This CD provides a wonderful opportunity to listen to the technical and interpretational qualities that are needed to play in a top notch professional orchestra!

Know what you're buying!.......2001-05-15

The consumer who rated this CD with one star was obviously not paying attention when he or she ordered it. Orchestral "excerpts"? Hello!?! This is a CD for the instruction and enjoyment of the horn player. It is _not_ a CD of full symphonies in which the horns just happen to be playing. Don't blame the CD or its author for your ignorance!

5 star performance.......2001-02-19

This CD does not deserve 1 star!!! If you are a horn player who cares about any kind of music expression at all, you will like this CD. He simply tells you how to feel the music. This CD is especially useful to horn players that will be auditioning for a University, Orchestra, or music conservatory. I highly recommend this CD for any horn player who CARES ABOUT MUSIC EXPRESSION. I still do not see how it is humanly possible to give a CD with so much music interpretation one star!!! The nerve!

Orchestral Excerpts for Horn by A. David Krehbiel.......2000-09-29

If you enjoy sitting back and listening to your latest classical CD acquisition, you will not want this one!!

It may not be listed in the album's description, but this is a lecture on music, with the music used as exeplary of the monologue.

If you want a nice music lecture, this is fine, but if you just want orchestral horn music by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, et al. STEER CLEAR OF THIS CD.

A Horn Player's Essential!.......2000-06-12

This cd is perfect for the aspiring horn player. Not only does the horn-god Krehbiel magnificently play these famous excerpts, he talks about them and the feelings behind the melodies. He tries to convey in words as well as by example, an interpretation of how they can be played. This cd is a wondrous compilation of the basic symphonic horn repertoire and should accompany any horn player practicing for auditions. Buy this cd and you won't be sorry!
