    3 out of 5 stars Good sampler of the master's music.......2006-12-14

    Rimsky-Korsakov is one of the most influential Russian composers. Part of the Mighty - Five, he composed numerous works inspired by folk music of various Russian and East European nationalities. Many of them were made to accompany ballets, plays and famous Russian stories. This two-disc set contains excerpts from many of his lesser-known pieces. So there is nothing from Scheherezade or his symphonies. Instead we have music from Mlada, Sadko, and other pieces unknown to all except the die-hard Russian fans. All the music on both discs are orchestral, and exemplify the Russian Romantic style of evocative and emotional melodies.

    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.

    4 out of 5 stars Rare Rimsky Extravaganza!.......2005-12-19

    With the classical music market flooded in excerpt reissues, this 2 CD set is a welcome budget addition for any romantic period collection. The varied selections are drawn from the 1972-1978,VOX output and are decently remastered. Rimsky-Korsakov composed 16 known operas and it was his custom to make
    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.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Recordings of Rare Rimsky-Korsakov Gems!.......2005-12-11

    This 2-CD set contains wonderful performances of some really great music of Rimsky-Korsakov which, unfortunately, has not achieved the popularity of works like Scheherezade and Capriccio
    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!

    5 out of 5 stars An unbelievable musical treasure.......2004-07-02

    Consider the low prize of this set you'll be rewarde for a long time .
    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.

    4 out of 5 stars Rare CD, must-have for R-K collectors.......2004-05-14

    This is cheap set, but at least two performances makes it best of all existing ; the Sadko with Katims and Seattle SO is the ultimate performance, far best of all - I heard all, with Svetlanov, Serov, and more, and Katims is high over all. I do not undertand it, because nor the orchestra, nor conductor, are of top quality - but really, they did great job. One more piece is quite unknown (but very good) Rimsky-Korsakov piano concerto. This performance is quite faster and more fercious than other exsting, and I think it is fater than it should be (according to music sheet), but still, it has value as rare performance.

      5 out of 5 stars Spectacular.......2005-02-07

      I ordered this CD via a Gift Certificate from my daughter for my 60th birthday. I have been a fan of the Romantic era piano concertos/works since I was 8 years old and this CD introduced me to composers and artists that I had not listened to before. This is an absolute must have to anyone who loves classical music.

      5 out of 5 stars There are several gems in this album!.......2004-07-31

      Von Henselt piano concert is the peak of the crown . Absolutely agree . This work , despite its countless difficulties that demands from the player is surrounded of a romantic majesty and aristos presence .
      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.

      5 out of 5 stars A SCORCHING PERFORMANCE OF A TRULY GREAT CONCERTO.......1999-09-27

      The brilliant Michael Ponti (One of the best pianists out there. Why is he not better known?!) gives a spectacular performance of Adolf von Henselt's superb f minor concerto. A work of terrifying difficulties (no less than Anton Rubinstein abandoned work on the piece because he considered it too difficult) it was once quite popular (Both Liszt and Clara Schumann championed the work). Ponti plays the fire out of it. The Henselt alone makes this a worthy aquisition, and the CD set contains other treasures as well. By all means pick this up. At this price it is a "no-brainer".

        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!

        5 out of 5 stars I'm no particle physicist, but.......2002-01-09

        pH10 investigates the inner structures of beats using
        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)

        5 out of 5 stars can't help but shake it...!.......2001-12-20

        I guarantee you that this will be a single. It's tracks like this that will propel this CD and this genre of music to the main stream.

        Keep up the good work.

        5 out of 5 stars Essential disc.......2001-12-11

        This disc has something for everyone: edgy-but-catchy melody, deep rolling bass, groovy beats, and sneaky-cool samples. "2600 Funkus" is as fun as it is infectious, as is "Spy Hunter" with its shuffling funkified drums and retro melody. "Maize on" gets a bit more serious, but with tasty results. "Corpuscle" has that old-skool flava, but holds up well in todays D&B sets, a dancefloor kicker to be sure.

        Quarks and Gluons is tightly produced and energy packed, I cant wait to hear what these guys do next.

        4 out of 5 stars buy it for the Moszkowski.......2001-08-07

        The Moszkowski concerto is tuneful, stylish, and delightful, somewhat in the style or at least temperament of Saint-Saens. It certainly deserves at least a limited place in the concert repertoire.

        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.

        4 out of 5 stars The underappreciated Moszkowski Piano Concerto.......1999-12-16

        Moszkowski typically gets written off as a ``salon'' composer of non-serious merit. I guess I won't argue with history, but I love this concerto. As with most Moszkowski, there's lots of twiddly passagework, always tastefully applied, but the thematic material and the moods of this concerto are wonderful.

        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.

        4 out of 5 stars Piano concerto is an excellent presentation........1998-11-05

        I give this CD 4 stars because the cello concerto is recorded so often by much better orchestras and soloists that it is a shame to by this CD for that purpose. However, the piano concerto is rarely performed and even less recorded. I myself have played an accompanyment for this piece and know that it is magnificant and full of lyricism despite its lack of being pianistic. That doesn't stop virtuosi from playing pieces such as the Tchaikovsky violin concerto, which is not violinistic , it just makes it more of a challenge. The concerto is played wonderfully by the orchestra and soloist. The pianist does not let the part consume him nor do we only hear a machine's interpretation and only hear Dvorak. There is genuine soul in the playing. The orchestra also does not over power (partly due to decent mixing) but also handles the difficult score in grand style. All I can say is that this is the recording to buy for this concerto because the price is right and the performance exceeds the cost 100 fold. I thoroughly enjoyed tracks 1-3. Look to Casals, Ma, Rose or Rostropovitch for the cello concerto.

        3 out of 5 stars Okay 6, dreadful 3.......2006-08-10

        Why would anybody sell two CDs for only 25 cents? Because the performances are pretty rough. Actually, the Pathetique is not that bad. Abravanel was a very fine conductor and a legend in Utah. He knew how to conduct a warhorse such as the Pathetique and this performance is enjoyable. However, there are many other recordings of this great masterwork that are just as good or much better. The 3rd Symphony receives a really bad performance, mainly due to poor playing. The Utah players simply could not handle this very difficult piece. If you only want the Pathetique and refuse to pay more than a quarter plus shipping, go ahead and buy it. But I would look elsewhere.
