CD Reviews

Great performers, terrible recording

J. Golden | Lewiston, NY | 06/23/2000

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I have a mid-fi stereo set up with a marantz integrated amp, b & w speakers, a sony ES cd player, and $600 in cables connecting the works, and the limitations of the transition of an analog recording to a digital recreation are evident. When listening to the Russian Easter Overture, there is a lot of "noise" (hiss, etc.)when the orchestra is playing softly, such as in the beginning. Given that the beauty of this recording (for me at least) is the way Rimsky-Korsokov was able to gently lift the listener with ebbs and flows of stringed magic during the quiet periods, this "noise" is disconcerting. Otherwise, the pieces are great, just not the recording."

The Russian Liszt

Chosroes III | NC | 03/28/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Rimsky-Korsakov's hyperlush orchestral textures and surging Romantic dynamism are perfect fodder for the unrepentantly luxuriant Ormandy, who straps himself to the mast for this cinematic soundstorm. As magical a sensualist as Ingres or Swinburne-- and every bit the lovelorn idealist-- Rimsky-Korsakov attains at least one kind of ne plus ultra in "Scheherazade", and, no matter how many times it is recorded (being something like the Romantic equivalent of "The Four Seasons" in popular exposure) or how much Modernistic carping is showered on its gorgeous sonic billows, it will forever endure undiminished. A rhapsody on the power of Nature and the mortal pain of Love, it stands triumphant as the Mother of All Tone Poems. Yes, and the "Capriccio espagnol" and "Russian Easter Festival Overture" are thrilling too."

Good CD

"This is a great CD. I found the recording quality good and the playing excellent.Rimsky-Korsakov wrote great music, and the powerful performance here does him justice. If you like him, you will enjoy this CD."
