Not Half Bad

Bruce Kendall | Southern Pines, NC | 02/05/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I despise most CDs with titles like this one has, but have to admit that as a sampler, it's not bad at all. Some great orchestras, conductors, etc. A drawback is that they are not identified, but the excerpts are wonderful, nonetheless. Piano Concerto #5, for instance, is excellent. Haven't a clue who is playing, but it's more than adequate. The entire CD is uniformly well selected, so kudos to the producers for giving us a really good intro to the music of "the" genius of 19th century composition.
