CD Reviews

Rare recording of Tsar's Coronation
Robert Atchison | Austin, TX USA | 08/09/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"People who are interested in the Romanov dynasty will want to get a copy of his historic recording of Sibelius' Cantata for the coronation of Nicholas II. The sound is great and the performance is brisk and even a bit pushy at times. The notes that came with the recording say that this piece has never been performed since it was first given in 1896. It's an interesting piece and I am glad I bought the CD. The other selections on the CD are fun to listen to, charming, fresh and uplifting. I felt like running through a grassy meadow after listening to this CD! The performance of Finlandia seems to have been thrown in to help sales of the other selections on this CD which are all rare. Its' a good rendition."
