CD Reviews

Exciting and powerful throughout in interpretaton and fideli

tillio | Florida | 11/21/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I don't know if its the performance or the sound engineering, but this is surely the most exciting Capriccio I've heard. All pieces on this CD are truly spectacular. I was afraid the CD would play differently from what I had heard over AdagioFM. Nope! Sounds just as good. Great stuff. BIS has become a maker of great sounding CDs, and Rimsky-Korsakov has never been served better. As a result, I shall look forward to more from this conductor and symphony orchestra.

One final minor constructive criticism. The graphics are poor, both in color and content. Does not reflect completely what's on the CD. The cover should draw us into the mystique of the music. This one does not. If I hadn't heard it first on AdagioFM, I would not have purchased."
