CD Reviews

Gorgeous everything!

Gregory M. Zinkl | Chicago, IL | 01/20/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"There isn't much to say except:1. You can get other wonderful renditions of the Barber Violin Concerto. But this one is just as wonderful as the rest. And the rest probably don't have either the beautiful sound or the most idiomatic orchestral accompaniment that this one does. (The little piano interjections still give me goosebumps!). If you were wondering, the violin soloist won the Gold Medal at the Tchaikowsky competition!2. The symphony is, well, WOW. Great music, great orchestra, great playing, great interpretation, great great great great! Forget Hanson's own recording with his scrawny orchestra on Mercury--I bet you'd want this one after you've heard it.One of my favorite discs. Ever."

Excellent recording

"I'm normally not much of a fan of Leonard Slatkin. But this recording displays the best conducting I've yet heard from him. Hanson's symphony is one of the most beautiful pieces written. And Oliveira does a technically flawless job at Barber's violin concerto. I was surprisingly more please with this recording than I ever hoped to be."

I first heard this...#2 'Romantic'...

"at the end credits for the film ALIEN- a fine film needing a slightly larger budget.

I thought it perfect, far more appropriate than the cliched "space" music J Goldsmith had concocted, may he RIP. After the nightmare encountered by the surviving character, the music seems a release from the tension, as we bore witness to a string of sad, almost personal tragedies-yet the piece ends with an unexpected single menacing note-before soothing us back to sleep and safety again. First class film and end piece to it"
