This is the best compilation of baroque music ever assembled.......2004-04-27

When I first got this CD I didn't know very much about Italian baroque music. However, after listening to this CD, I discovered composers that I had not heard of before, that as it turns out are as talented as Vivaldi. For example, the Sinfonia by Sammartini is just spectacular. The music by Geminiani is fantastic, as is the music by Locatelli and Manfredini. Also, I have listened to a lot of music by Albinoni, but none so great as his Opus 2, Number 6 which can be found on this CD. Also, I found that the speed of Albinoni's Opus 2, Number 6 on this CD was perfect (as compared to other versions of this I have heard, which in my opinion are played slightly too slowly). I have mentioned a few of my personal favorites, however, the entire CD is great. Often the Naxos label puts out excellent baroque music very cheaply, and it is often music that is difficult to find elsewhere. Quite seriously, if you are a fan of great baroque music then this is a CD that you should not be without.

Customer Reviews:

One of Domingo's best compilations, thanks to Giulini.......2005-09-30

Placido Domingo has issued dozens of complations albums, but this one is special. It includes almost all of a classic live recital he gave at a gala for the Los Angeles Phil. under its then direcotr Carlo Maria Giulini in 1980. He was in his absolute prime then--can it really have been 25 years ago? The other conductors on this CD are Sinopoli, Abbado, and Karajan, so it's clear that DG wanted to show Domingo off in a platinum setting. Highly recommended.

Generally Unconvincing.......2005-01-21

Péter Nagy is, no doubt, an able and competent pianist, but I’m afraid his contributions to the Naxos “Romantic Piano Favourites” series often fail to convince me. On Volume 7 he plays a number of slower, melancholy or thoughtful pieces which, somehow, do not seem to ring true. The longest piece on the disc is Mozart’s Fantasia in C Minor K. 475, which here sounds rather difficult and seems at times to get bogged down, lacking both emotional depth and musical esprit. Neither Chopin’s Nocturne in F Minor (Op. 55, No. 1) nor Fauré’s Berceuse Op. 16 (a transcription made by Nagy himself in cooperation with Zoltan Jeney) can really balance this impression out, and Grieg’s “Melancholie” left me, I’m sorry to say, feeling not melancholy but glad it was over. Where Nagy scores good points is on the music that seems to be more in his blood, namely the two pieces by Franz (Ferenc) Liszt and the Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Brahms, where Nagy can show off his technical brilliance and seems to put heart and soul into his playing. The disc closes with a nine-and-a-half-minute transcription of the “Dance of the Hours” from Ponchielli’s opera “La Gioconda”, a piece which was plundered a few decades ago to produce Alan Sherman’s comic classic “Hello, Mudda. hello, Fadda”. This is a brilliant close to the otherwise rather unconvincing programme.
