Sublime!.......2004-03-08
This is one of my top 5 Cd's in a vast collection. I bought an extra 10 for presents. The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO)was aptly described by Toscanini as an orchestra of virtuoso soloists. Its strings are together with the Chicago Symphony the absolute top. Every piece is spectacular, warm and insightful. It is evident that the musicians understand the importance of the event. The Halverson Handel variation alone is worth the purchase. It has to be one the most amazing pieces ever recorded.
love the four violin piece!.......2004-02-21
I bought this CD, then I bought one for my grandparents. Now I lost it. My absolutely favorite piece was the concerto for four violins. Unfortunately, I've now discovered i-tunes and just bought those tracks. Maybe that's not the best idea, but at least I can't lose it again.
A must-have item !.......2002-11-10
A live concert with the best violinist of our time! Superbly recorded. Those who are going to buy this should buy the video too! The video not only includes the interview with the violinist, but also a marvellous off-the-show performance by Gil Shaham. Shaham may not be that outstanding in this concert but you'll see this is not true if you have watched the video, too.
Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman's duet on "Passacaglia and Sarabande with variations on a theme by Handel for violin and viola" is excellent !! It exhibits almost all skillsets that could be do with a string instrument and how good they have been handled!! This recording is indescribably good !
Overall Great Recording.......2000-12-06
I wasn't sure whether to give this recording four or five stars. The music is wonderful; there is nothing to complain about in that area. The Halvorsen variations on Handel are quite simply divine and without comparison. The piece showcases two of the best violinists of our day (Perlman and Zukerman) and in this recording they prove that they deserve their title. The Vivaldi for Four Violins is incredibly expressive. The musicians cannot be faulted for anything, however the recording engineers can. This is a live concert and thus there is clapping at the end of each piece. The clapping is irritating in that it takes away the feeling left after the music. In the case of the Vivaldi, someone actually starts to clap before the last note is over! However, if you can survive the clapping, you will be buying a remarkable recording by some of the greatest musicians of our day. I strongly recommend it.
Amazing!.......2000-03-28
This is one of the best live classical recordings I have ever heard. It features an incredible collection of talented musicians, then proceeds to showcase them all with dazzling pieces that demonstrate their talents. Especially notable is the duet between Zukerman and Perlman when they play Halvorsen's "Passacaglia" - it truly sends chills up my spine. Other fine pieces on the discs include the overture to "Oberon" by Weber, as well as the unique "Concerto for 4 Violins" by Vivaldi. Overall, this set of 2 CD's is wonderful, and definitely warrants a purchase.

Customer Reviews:
Admirable collection .......2005-06-22
Like Claudia Muzio and other deceased singers invested with cult status, Kathleen Ferrier has been censured on grounds of faulty technique and (less fairly) of "dated" interpretations of music now performed with greater historical fidelity. Some of these criticisms of Ferrier openly target the reverence accorded her in Britain, where admiration for her art and personality can devolve into hagiography. Fortunately, two antidotes for such distortions are ready to hand: Christopher Fifield's artfully crafted presentation of her "Letters and Diaries" (2003), and this CD, which begins with Ferrier at the fag end of a New York dinner party (thrown by ... Andre Mertens?), presenting a rollicking parody of her own vocalizing - and of herself. Here is a carnival mirror edition of the "public" Ferrier, represented on this CD by a self-effacing yet regally articulated interview in Montreal. Reminiscences of distinguished colleagues are also provided, along with vocal recordings that suggest the range and depth of her work. And "depth" is the word, quite apart from her vocal register. The throaty laugh in the ludic tape that opens this collection is echoed in the somber resonance of her finest recordings; for Ferrier, like Muzio, can voice the core of disillusionment - less with existence than with hopes proved false, while she heralds the triumph of love retrieved from unworthy aims.
sometimes you get more than you pay for.......2004-01-31
well they say you get what you pay for - meaning $5.98 might not be such a good cd !!! you couldn't be more wrong. this is a close up look and sound of kathleen. and we love her. not to be missed. voice/humor/not forgotten

What a beautiful recording. It is wonderful to hear a contralto in all of her glory. Doing what suits her voice. The dramatic expression is the most exciting I have heard in years!

The Young Lanza impresses.......2007-04-11
I am a singer and have been a Mario Lanza fan since becoming interested in opera in my teens. The quality of his singing varied a great deal, especially in his later years. But this Hollywood Bowl concert, at age 26, shows him with a freshness and ease of production that failed him later in life. Highlights for me were the Boheme Duet - I don't know of any of the current tenor stars who would dare to hold the High A for so long and then jump right to the High C and be able to sustain it. The Andrea Chenier demonstrates his spinto side and the beauty of his middle and lower voice. One weeps for what might have been. But I will put this recording against Mr. Alagna any day of the week.
A Rare Find!.......2002-12-19
The "Live From London" is my favorite cd and this is a close second. I usually listen to the Bowl selections only and save the Coca-Cola radio program for another time. The recording quality is not the best, but this is a wonderful sourvenir of the young singer in excellent voice and delivery at the begining of his career. The selections with soprano Frances Yeend are a wonderful addition since there are few recorded "live concert" Lanza duets available outside of this venue (there are recordings of his later Bowl appearances you may want to check out). Mario's introductions show his warmth and humor. It was at this concert that MGM took notice and his career moved to the movie studios. We are fortunate to have this recording. One of the highlights of the Coke show program is Mario's introduction to the "Our Father". Disregard the liner notes. For value delivered, this cd rates five stars!
One of the great performances of all time.......2002-05-12
The first six tracks of this CD capture Mario Lanza's legendary 1947 Hollywood Bowl debut. These recordings, by themselves, would rate 7 stars in my book. (The rest of the CD would probably merit about 2 stars, but those live tracks are worth the ridiculously low price of this collection many times over.) Renowned baritone George London, Lanza's frequent singing partner, later said he never heard Mario sing better than he did that night, and it would be hard to disagree with him. Lanza, on the eve of signing his contract with MGM, was at the peak of his vocal discipline, fresh off 15 months of training with Enrico Rosati. And while his interpretive abilities may have not reached their full potential, then or ever, the voice itself was magnificent: brilliant, rich and indescribably glorious. The concert opens with "Una furtiva lagrima," by Donizetti, which, if somewhat raw, is certainly more refined and lyrical than his later studio recording. His phrasing of "Cielo, si puo morir" can bring tears to my eyes. Next up is a thrilling rendition of "Un di all'azzuro spazio" from ANDREA CHENIER. Lanza's performance of this aria is as good as any I've ever heard, including Caruso's. He positively caresses the phrase "Su dalla terra a la mia fronte veniva una ca'rezza viva," then passionately spits out the aria's middle section: "un uom vi calunniave bestemmiando il suolo che l'erario a pena sazia e contro a Dio scagliava, e contro a li uomini le lagrime dei figli!" Lanza's vocal tone, in this performance, was more focused than it was in his later recording of this aria, and his later recordings in general, and the effect is very impressive to those who have only heard his studio recordings. Then, for an encore, he sings "E lucevan le stelle," from TOSCA by Puccini, another aria which, in my opinion, Lanza sang as well if not better than anyone. True, he does not sing the pianissimo like Gigli or Di Stefano, but then neither did Caruso or Domingo. In fact, to my way of thinking Lanza's interpretation is more in character with a man who is about to die: it is not a simple love song but a cry of desperation. Next come three gorgeous duets with Frances Yeend, a singer with limited interpretive abilities but a rich, full voice. On the duet from LA TRAVIATA, Lanza showcases a wonderful legato line, and the timing of the two singers is nearly perfect. By this time in the concert, Lanza's voice had reached its peak of richness and beauty. The love duet from MADAME BUTTERFLY that follows is a positive tour de force: I have never heard a more exciting and musical performance: neither singer allows interpretation to get in the way of the melody, which is always a good idea with Puccini. Lanza is at his most passionate here, and his high C at the end is devastating. Yeend would later say that Lanza's singing was "Always thrilling. . .he never spared the horses," and this duet is a good example. Finally, a tasteful and lovely rendition of the duet from LA BOHEME closes out the show, with the richness of each singer's voice on full display. Lanza sings the line "Dammi il braccio mia piccina" as romantically as anyone, and the interplay between the two singers is nearly perfect. This is a performance for the ages: anyone who loves Italian opera and especially great tenor singing should love this album. The rest of the album is pretty much a waste, except for an interesting version of "A Vuchella" in which Lanza does his best Gigli impression. Notably, this album contains possibly the worst version of any song I have ever heard: an English language rendition of "Funiculi funicula" that is positively dreadful, although you can't really blame that on Lanza's singing.
Buy this for the first six tracks only!.......2001-08-22
This CD contains both the very best and the very worst of the vastly underrated Mario Lanza. First things first, ignore the absurdly inaccurate liner notes. Lanza did NOT have a small voice - indeed fellow musicians who sang with him often remarked that it was a huge and powerful instrument. Lanza's voice did not "crack down" in his last years, as the liner notes writer asserts; rather it was his health that "cracked down" in the final year of his life.
These recordings, however, demonstrate the tenor in the full bloom of health. The outstanding selections are tracks 1-6, which come from his extraordinary Hollywood Bowl debut in 1947. You'll never hear a better Lanza rendition of the Madama Butterfly Love Duet (with soprano Frances Yeend) than the one included here. This is sensitive AND passionate singing of the highest order, and listening to this rendition today it is not surprising that MGM signed the tenor up for a movie career the very next day. All six selections are outstanding, and many will be surprised by the beautiful legato Lanza employs in the difficult Parigi, O Cara from La Traviata.
The six initial tracks are more than worth the price of the CD, and make up for the shortcomings of the remaining selections, all of which come from Lanza's Coca-Cola radio show of 1951-52. The latter tracks show the tenor at his commercial worst. Diane is an abomination, and there are several other selections that should never have seen the light of day. Fortunately, however, there are a few nuggets among the dross, and "If" is a most attractive and exciting performance.
The sound is not brilliant on the Coke Show selections (these are not the pristine BMG recordings, and all come with overlaid applause tracks). Ironically, the live Hollywood Bowl selections have much better sound.
But don't let the "Coke" numbers put you off buying this CD. The Hollywood Bowl concert is a masterpiece, and should be required listening for all who scoff at this "movie tenor".

Customer Reviews:
A notable recital from Pavarotti's rpime, but bad pitch problems.......2005-11-27
I am as enthusiastic as the reviewer below about Pavarotti's voice in 1973, which sounds as attractive here as one could want. The singer doesn't seem all that committed to the eight Italian songs, including several by Bellini, that begin the evening. He's noticeably more exciting in the Traviata aria that follows. From then on out, the selections form Respighi, Verdi (two I Lombardi arias), and Tosti (four songs sung with less gusto and more genuine feeling than on LP's various Neapolitan records) really communicate, and the audience is ecstatic.
Unfortunately, whoever made this "private" recording from his seat in the hall used an inferior tape recorder. The piano is afflicted with pitch wow and flutter. It's quite bad, especially in the first half; fortunately, Pavarotti's voice covers it up whenever he's singing. If you can abide this defect, all the enthusiasm a fan can muster is justified. The Tosti songs and the two encores from Rigoletto and Fanciulla del West had me cheering along.
Vintage Luciano; you'll not do better in a recital setting!.......2005-04-26
Luciano Pavarotti was 38 years old when he gave this recital in Los Angeles, and this CD shows that this period was the zenith of his vocal production. Singing pieces that he literally learned how to sing with, his command of language, vocal technique and sheer animal magnetism makes this CD a must for any Pavarotti fan.
The voice is still supple and vibrant with the ardor of youth, but has enough reserves of power to show where his magnificent instrument would eventually take him...the spinto repertoire.
He is in top form and sings with musical sensitivity, which is sometimes lacking in his later recordings. This recording also allows the listener to experience his "true" voice in the intimate setting of a piano recital; one that is devoid of a studio influence, completely live and unaltered.
I cannot recommend this CD enough. If you love the tenor voice, and Pavarotti's in particular, you MUST have it.

Customer Reviews:
Not much of a gala.......2005-10-17
The playing and especially the recorded sound are slapdash. Perlamn, Norman, and Yo-Yo Ma dutifully play their cameo roles, but the usually wonderful Temirkanov is off form, and with the shrill, unplesantly piercing sonics, his orchestra is no pleasure to hear, either. I don't know who this collection is aimed at, since anyone who wants the rarely heard Tchaikovsky songs done by Jessye Norman would be way past wanting another 1812 Overture.

Customer Reviews:
Great Music for a Wedding!!.......2002-08-09
When I got engaged to be married in November 2002, the job of finding the wedding music fell into my hands. I looked long and hard for some type of "fanfare" music to introduce the couple (us) at the wedding. My long search stopped here as this CD, "Fanfare, British Music for Symphonic Brass Ensemble", fits the bill. This CD has different variety of fanfares ranging from those for a state occasion to a light hearted gala occasion. My favorite fanfare?? It's "Fanfare" by William Walton. I loved the way it starts out with a loud drum roll followed by the brassy sounds of the horns. Of course, you can't pass up Arthur Bliss's "Royal Fanfares 1-6". You will find many different uses for this CD not only for a wedding but for other ocassions too. Give it a try!! LJK.
Simply....Beautiful.......2001-11-08
These pieces are brilliant! The harmony is absolute! Very nice sound and a very nice selection!
