Good sampler of the master's music.......2006-12-14
Of the two discs, I prefer the first, as it contains more, shorter, self-contained pieces. The second disc contains only longer works. The orchestration is fine. Both discs are over an hour long, so this set is a great buy for its price. Note that the cover picture can differ, the set I bought was from Virgin Records and has a totally different cover than the one shown here on Amazon.
Rare Rimsky Extravaganza!.......2005-12-19
orchestral suites for them. The three in this set are typical of the composer's fantasies. All his life he loved fairy-tales,
nature, and folklore. He used colorful and bizarre tales for his operas, and wrote colorful and brilliant music to set them off. Each of the three included here feature an introduction,
some lovely themes and some exotic effects. "Christmas Eve" is evocative but it's storyline is based on paganism. Each suite is just right and dosen't outlast it's welcome.
The overture to "May Night" is cut from the same mold. The "Overture On Russian Themes" utilizes the same melody in Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" representing the Russian forces.
"Shazka"(Legend)is another fairy-tale based on a prologue by Pushkin. The enchanting score for "Sadko, a Musical Picture" preceded the opera by the same name by thirty years. With all Rimsky's descriptive orchestral music, we forget he composed symphonies and concertos.
Rimsky-Korsakov's short(under 12 mins.)Piano Concerto was probably inspired by his teacher Balakirev, is characteristic of Liszt's one movement form. It's themematic development is unmistakably Russian. In developing his violin writing skills he composed the "Concert Fantasy" based on Spanish themes. It prepared him well for the later "Capriccio espagnol".
The various artists all perform well but one wishes for even more updated sound; hence my reservation for a fifth star. Detailed liner notes are included.
Great Recordings of Rare Rimsky-Korsakov Gems!.......2005-12-11
Espagnole. The Invisible City Suite is truly magical: colorful, imaginative music that transports you to a sound-world that is quite different from most classical works. The performance is very good, with very solid sound and accoustics. The Mlada Suite is another colorful Russian showpiece that Rimsky-Korsakov excelled at. An excellent performance too. The May Night Overture gets a brisk, propulsive performance that makes it really enjoyable to listen to. The first CD ends with the rare Christmas Eve Suite No. 2, and what a delight it is! It starts out slow, with an exotic theme that is jovial and intriguing and develops into a number of exciting climaxes, and it is very well-played.
The second CD starts with the marvelous Overture on Russian Themes, which contains at least one theme you're sure to recognize (it's also in the 1812 Overture). A really smashing performance. Next is the rare Skazka/Fairy Tale, sometimes called Baba Yaga. It starts out menacing and contains both lyrical and dramatic themes, which is to be expected, as it is a tone poem that tells a story. The performance is first-rate, though it sounds like there's some background noise going on at times. Next is Sadko, given a fast, exciting performance, though I prefer the Zinman/Rotterdam one. The Piano Concerto comes next, and what a find this is! It sounds just like Rachmaninov at times. It is given a faster-than-usual performance here, which is just what it needs. This rare concerto is so enjoyable that you will wish it would go on longer than its 12 minutes and wish it were performed more often. The set ends with the Concert Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra, which is another gem that is extremely satisfying, featuring a great performance by the violinist, orchestra and conductor, as well as great sound balancing and accoustics.
If you get this set together with the Zinman/Rotterdam collection of RK's orchestral works on Phillips
as well as a good performance of Scheherazade (I'd recommend the Spano/Atlanta performance among modern ones or the Karajan/Berlin one among stereo recordings), you'll have almost all of the best music by Rimsky-Kosakov at a really low price.
Do not be put off by the fact that this CD-set features orchestras and conductors that you've probably never heard of, or by the fact that you won't find any reviews by the the standard professional musical critics. You get two CDs filled with great music at a budget price, and the performances are first-rate throughout. It is worth every penny and a whole lot more! I cannot recommend this more strongly!
An unbelievable musical treasure.......2004-07-02
The invisible city is well played , the piano concert is warmth and powerful and the violin concert is much more than a simply promised land . You'll be surprised about the musical richness of Nikolai Rimski Korsakov.
Rare CD, must-have for R-K collectors.......2004-05-14

Spectacular.......2005-02-07
There are several gems in this album!.......2004-07-31
But think in Chopin's Allegro de Concerto : Chopin was planning to compose a third Piano Concert in 1849 but he only could finish the first movement . So this work literally was frozen for players . Nadia Reisenberg (vynil Westminster in the fifties) and Claudio Arrau (in the sixties) recorded this work and played for solo piano . But Michael Ponti aceppted the challenge and this was the world premiere recording with orchestra) The result is a fifteen minutes piece complete by itself with a mature Chopin loaded with new proposals and a revitalized concept of his beloved Poland . You notice inmediatly that the important 1848 revolution , permeated the soul of Frederick .
Hiller ' s piano concert is a bravura work . The notes fall incisively on the listener , and suddenly the mood is made : its introspective moods and fevered lyricism will steal your mind .
Acquire as soon as you can this weird album .Ponti reveals himself not only as a superb pianist , but also as an untired searcher of the unknown pieces of the XIX century , happily for us .
Thanks for Ponti , Earl Wild , and Raymond Lewenthal , extraordinary pianists inmersed in the purest romantic tradition.

Album Description
pH10 uses boiling breaks and a jolt of jungle to create a whole new experience in electronic music. They depart from established formulas by employing dub-style delays, avoiding tired arrangements and ditching played out samples for memorable original hooks.Customer Reviews:
Aural Enjoyment.......2002-01-10
I'm glad I was introduced to pH10- I am now a true believer.
Highly recommend it, very entertaining. Bubbly breaks, bass that makes your heart ache for bigger speakers...these guys are pioneers, and I bet they will continue to raise the bar in the future. NICE JOB!
I'm no particle physicist, but.......2002-01-09
both phenomenological models and field-theoretic
approaches. This CD takes me on a colorful journey to the depths
of pure imagination. Along with fractional electric charge,
the cd also has flava in 6 varieties. It banishes the
classical idea of action at a distance. It can be said
that the breaks bounce between the drums and the bass
in such a manner as to draw the two together, making it
a force to be reckoned with. I envision this to bring the
world together on a subatomic level.
...Take that, space coyote...(i.e. this cd kicks butt)
can't help but shake it...!.......2001-12-20

buy it for the Moszkowski.......2001-08-07
As for the other concerti on the disk, the Scharwenka and Thalberg are more of a historical curiosity, but the Rubenstein has flitted in and out of the concert repertoire from time to time (but to my ears is not up to a comparison with Moszkowski).
They are all given serviceable, if not inspired, readings by Ponti.
The underappreciated Moszkowski Piano Concerto.......1999-12-16
While it might be lighter fare than the standard concerto warhorses, I find that it's never far from my CD player, just like the LP was never far from my record player before the CD came out.
To be honest, I don't really care about the other three concertos. The Moszkowski is why you should buy this CD.
