CD Reviews

Rare Pieces of RVW

Majid Entezam | San Diego, CA United States | 07/26/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This CD contains some rarely heard, but beautiful peices of music from RVW. All the songs are done with Violin and Piano only. The "Lark Ascending" and "Fantasia on Greensleeve" both which are usually played with an orchestra are also done with a violin and piano combo. This was a very interesting and refreshing approach to these two beautiful songs. The only thing I would complain about is that portions of the "Lark Ascending" was played too hurriedly and could have used more patience. The "Six Studies in English Folk Song" are very serene and nicely done. In short, I would recommend this CD to all RVW fans."
