CD Reviews

Nice presentations
William C. Eastin | 03/19/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I replaced my worn LP records with this CD and was not disappointed. I had forgotten how clean a presentation you get with CDs compared with the record but this CD quickly reminded me."
Cozy nostalgic feel and great sound
Ethan E. Matthes | 02/07/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm familiar with two other major interpretations on regular CD of the Copland ballets: Bernstein's with NY Phil and Slatkin's with St. Louis. While the Slatkin rendition was very satisfying in its simple approach, Morton Gould and his orchestra play these works as if it were for a B&W classic western movie. The style is very old fashioned but highly effective, and listening made me feel nostalgic even though I'm too young to have grown up in that just-after-WWII era. The Grand Canyon Suite by Grofe has that same cozy nostalgic feel further enhanced by some usual instrument placement and editing. A serious recording technician would probably laugh at the approach used by this orchestra and Living Stereo, but to me it's a silly but highly enjoyable masterpiece. The SACD Stereo sound is fantastic, and this is one of my SACD Top Picks!"
