(4 out of 5 stars)

"I found Spellbound satisfactory but not quite to the mark. The Rozsa-Pennario recording is much more satisfying with the intensity and verve. Except I think Pennario could have done better. The Parade of the Charioteers was quite exciting with the rhythms exhilarating. The fanfares were adequate but could use more Kloss (as in the Erich Kloss version). Mother`s Love was too slow to make anyone weep. A definite 3 1/2 to 4 stars presentation."
