CD Reviews

Moving interpretation

11/29/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The quality of how these pieces are played is incredible. I am moved to tears every time I listen to Canon in D. I have other recordings of these same pieces, but they do not come to life the same way they do on this recording. The only recording I am disappointed with is Fur Elise, which is the only piano solo on the CD."

A great start for newcomers to classical music!

"This is a fabulous CD for anyone who isn't sure they'll like classical music. You can't beat the price! You get a full 78 minutes of beautiful music for just a few bucks. This CD is certainly worth checking out."

Not worth the money

"I have heard this CD (25 Romantic Classics). The main problem in the 25 tracks is that most of them are not pure romantic music. The Air on G string could not be classified as "Romantic" because the general theme is closer to tragic than romantic. The same thing goes for Vivaldi's allegro. The Performance of Mozart's Piano concerto in A made by the poor "Israel Chamber Orchestra" is weak, and i am still wondering of putting this performance in the CD Although There are dozens of great performances for Mozrat's piano concertos. The performance of Beethoven's Fur Elise is quite poor. it went faster than the usual, in addition to extreme use of the sustaining pedal. I Believe that any amateur could perform it better than the soloist here. I wonder why t Chopin's prelude no.7 is in such a CD, its quite out of any conceivable thematic context in addition to being to short. preludes such No.6 (the Tolling Bells) and No.15 (Raindrops) could have been much better for such a CD of romantic music. Add to that, the pianist didn't use the tempo rubato in playing this piece. So the semi-romantic piece was totally destroyed. The rest of the tracks too humble for the serious critic. I don't believe that this CD makes any addition to any classical collection."

Some great tracks, but flawed nonetheless

"Whether or not this CD lives up to its promise of "Romantic" music is not truly a concern, being that the entire nature of classical music is that it is open to one's own interpretation. However, I can speak to the quality of the recordings themselves. A few of the tracks (Reverie, Canon, Sarabande, a few others) are absolutely superb. Well recorded, and played with genius bravado, coupled with great arrangements (it was interesting to hear Reverie outside of its native instrument, the Piano). Most of the tracks, however, are absolutely horrid. Fur Elise for the sheer amateurish quality, Vivaldi's Concerto for oboe and strings sounds like it was copied from an old phonograph record, as does Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Suite, Mendelssohn's Spring Song, and Puccini's Gianni Schicci, and a few others. A few other tracks still are played horribly, most of them already mentioned. All in all, for the price you are getting quite a few good tracks, but don't expect stellar quality. I would instead recommend Chopin's Nocturnes and Mozart's and Tchaikovsky's Piano concertos of you're looking for something romantic."

Not A Music Critic ... But A Lover Of All Music ...

"Let's not be too harsh regarding this CD. I purchased this as my first baby step into the classical genre and it absolutely made me fall in love with classical music and appreciate it in a way I never could when people tried to make me like it. It is such a wide variety of classical music and I find romance to be joyful, tragic, gentle, harsh & a complete roller coaster that I found all in this ONE CD! It also made my boyfriend who hates, or shall I say HATED classical music NOW like it! That was an amazing feat! We now have many classical cd's and we always go back to this one for dinner parties, romantic baths and other things... I played this CD so much, that it got damaged and I just purchased another one to replace the one I bought years ago. If you are a critic, stay away from this cd, you will rob it of its beauty & innocence. If you are a beginner and want to open your mind to all that classical music has to offer, then this is the best money you can spend. BUY & ENJOY!!!"
