Search - Henri Sauguet, Francis Poulenc, Claude Debussy :: The Leroy Anderson Collection

Masterful recordings with the composer conducting

Kurt Anderson | Connecticut | 02/22/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This 2 CD set is a must for fans of the light hearted Pops composer Leroy Anderson. It features all of the stereo recordings that Anderson made of his music, except for his Christmas arrangements. Nobody could capture the whimsy and excitement of Leroy Anderson's music like the composer. 8 Anderson pieces are available only on this 2 CD set which has 47 diferent pieces."

All the Anderson Favorites in One Place

Daniel G. Berk | West Bloomfield, Michigan | 04/10/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Here they are, all in one place, all the witty, amusing, melodic, delightful little pieces composed by Leroy Anderson. If you are fond of them, these CD's are a must. Even if you do not think you are a fan of Anderson's music, this collection is still a must, for in all probability you will find yourself saying, "Oh, I know that; I didn't know that that's where it came from." Well, that's where it did come from, along with many other very enjoyable light compositions, which make these CD's a great listening experience."

THE MASTER HIMSELF

"It's so refreshing to hear the familiar Leroy Anderson gems played by the master himself. I thought the sound was not as clear as what I have on LP versions, but that may be just an illusion. BLUE TANGO is here, and THE TYPEWRITER, and many others. My favourite is SARABAND. Altogether, a most enjoyable set, with the music of Anderson played by Anderson. (Oh, when will they release A CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL on CD?)"
