Amazon.com essential recording

César Franck's ever-popular Violin Sonata exists in many different versions, including one for cello and this one for flute. None of these arrangements seems to stem from the composer himself, but that doesn't matter, since the music holds up very well regardless of the instrumental vehicle. What makes this disc so spectacular--Galway's bright, immaculate performances aside--is the presence of Martha Argerich, arguably the world's greatest living pianist and something of a specialist in this very sonata as well as in the music of Prokofiev. With the Reinecke sonata thrown in as a bonus, the result is a great chamber-music recording all-around and not just another flute disc. --David Hurwitz

5 out of 5 stars A MUST for serious flutists.......2006-01-30

James Galway truly sets the standard for flute playing. Being a flutist myself, I am always looking for any true flute literature recordings by Galway. His "pop" stuff is o.k., but we need more recordings of standard literature. If you do not have this in your audio library or if you've never heard these pieces before, you MUST get this one! Also, if you are an accompanist needing to hear these pieces, this is an excellent recording as Argerich and Moll are fabulous!

5 out of 5 stars excellent CD.......2000-02-23

The sonatas are very good and they explore different possibilities that the flute has.Galway's tone specially it's color is incredible.I have never heard any flutist that has that tone it's just so beautiful I could even say it's perfect.The piano part of this sonatas is not just accompaniment it has the same importance as the flute part.Argerich is a master of the piano and in combination with Galway the results are very good. Moll does a fine job in the piano but in my opinion he is not at Argerich's level. If you like classical music and you like the flute buy this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled by Gaudy Galway: This CD isn't bad........1999-08-27

The Franck and Prokofiev sonatas were originally released back in 1975 (RCA LRL1-5095). It had a great picture of Galway and Argerich sharing the jacket equally. Given the difficulty of the piano part (to say nothing of the more attractive countenance of Argerich), this was most fitting. And so I am very disappointed that it was replaced by a gaudy picture of James sporting his golden flute. Granted, this release also includes Reinecke's Undine Sonata, with Phillip Moll at the keyboard. In any case, this CD is worth getting, especially on account of the Franck and Prokofiev sonatas. James's flute sound does get a little tiresome after a while because he seems incapable of producing varying tonal shades. Nevertheless, Argerich's playing makes this a worthwhile CD to have.

excellent overview of contemporaneous classic music.

Should be continued, plenty more 20th-century composers to be discovered.

5 out of 5 stars For the price you can't lose.......2007-02-21

This 2 cd set consists of, as the title indicates, various 20c pieces or movements from the Naxos catalog. Sound quality is uniformly high, although for some such as Stockhausen's it's not clear if that's good or bad. What is excellent is the variety of the collection--some familiar (Debussy), others not, some pretty, others intentionally weird. Few will find every piece to his or her taste, but many listeners who do not spend much time on 20c music will find something to like. Overall, a great introduction to a period of much off-putting, yes, but also much compelling music.

    Ashkenazy on piano and the incomparable Perlman on violin. I almost need say nothing more. The Prokofief is the prize here (a wonderful work) but the entire CD just sings. Perfection.

          5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Recording.......2004-06-30

          I actually bought this recording just to hear the second sonata. Being familiar with the original flute version and the transcribed clarinet version, I wanted to hear it on violin. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! The piece is incredible on violin and played very well. The first violin sonata is absolutely sublime. These are the only words that can describe the piece's beauty and genius.

          I highly recommend this CD, especially for anyone familiar with the original flute sonata op. 94 looking for a new angle on the piece. The price is great too.

          5 out of 5 stars First-Class Performances.......2004-04-01

          On this wonderfully cheap Naxos CD, twenty-something Ukrainian violinist Andrey Bielov delivers marvelously involving performances of both Prokofiev violin & piano sonatas, plus the Solo Violin Sonata (op. 115) and "Five Melodies for Violin and Piano." It's quite the gutsy recording debut given spectacular competition from the likes of Itzhak Perlman (RCA/BMG), Joshua Bell (Decca), and others. But Bielov doesn't duck the challenge, and it's clear he's already damn close to being a world-class talent. Not surprisingly, Bielov's performance style recalls that of Ukraine's most famous modern violinist, the great David Oistrakh. Which is another way of saying that you should be prepared for gobs and gobs of color, fabulous technical control, and unstinting (but completely intelligent) use of vibrato. He is ably accompanied by another Ukrainian, pianist Igor Tchetnev (age 23), who also is new to me and who easily stands comparison with Perlman's and Bell's pianists (Vladimir Ashkenazy and Oli Mustonen). Naxos provides first-rate digital sound and includes full notes about music and performers. This is a fabulous bargain that shouldn't be missed by any lover of Prokofiev and/or first-rate violin playing.

          5 out of 5 stars The passion for the instrument!.......2006-11-05

          After having watched Ricci six times during two long decades in Caracas, I even can evocate and still remember with meridian clarity, the powerful sound, the enraptured vibratos and vibrant staccatos to produce an expressive sound, without excess of the Romantic vision of violinists such as Menuhin, for instance. Thanks to Ricci I always preferred the Guarnerius del Gesu 1734 rather than the well know Stradivarius sound.

          This album contains a very special selection that talks by itself about his overwhelming technique and voluptuous lyricism.

          His approach about two of his most beloved composers, Paganini and Sarasate are simply illuminating. But the sound talks better than any other compliment. Go for this five albums set and enjoy over and over about one of the most distinguished violinists of the past Century.

          5 out of 5 stars It's About Time !!.......2005-03-28

          I've been waiting for these Ricci productions to be transferred to CD for years and years. Why did it take so long?

          Ricci, to me, is an astounding violinist who loves his instrument. Don't expect Ruggiero to play like anyone else; he is
          unique among fiddle players. Ricci is, well, Ricci.

          I once owned everything he recorded in the 50's and 60's; much
          of it can be found here. And, make no mistake, these recordings
          were mastered on state-of-the-art equipment and do not sound dated at all.

          You will not find cookie-cutter performances from Ruggiero Ricci.
          Here you will find a new way. The Prokofiev tracks have been
          fondled by sweet hands too long; listen to Ricci. He plays
          Prokofiev in a devilishly different style. And 'O !! his Tzigane by Ravel is played so hauntingly that you will get the creeps !!
          Leave the lights on if you must, but it's best listened to in the dark. Your skin will crawl.

          5 out of 5 stars Rewarding Ricci.......2004-02-04

          This five disc box set featuring the Decca Recordings (1950-60) of violinist Ruggiero Ricci is easily the best of the latest batch of releases in the limited edition "Original Masters" series. Nearly 3/4 of this collection is material that is being made available for the first time internationally. All of the first three CDs (CD1: Paganini's 24 Caprices; CD2: Paganini's 1st & 2nd VCs with Collins and Ravel's Tzigane with Ansermet; and CD3: Strauss and Weber Sonatas) and most of the fifth disc (Hindemith & Prokofiev Sonatas) fall into this category. Furthermore, all of the material on CD4 (Saraste & Saint-Saens with Gamba and Lalo's "Symphonie Espagnole" with Ansermet) was previously available on a disc in Decca's "Classic Sound" series but it has been out of print for years. In fact, the only selection currently in print from this set is Khachaturian's Violin Concerto (Fistoulari, 1956), which is available on a Double Decca title that I had fortunately yet to purchase. The only downside to this collection is the predominance of mono recordings (only the Tzigane, CD 4 and the Hindemith & Prokofiev Sonatas are in stereo), but they still sound delightful, and only the Paganini Caprices suffer the slightest hiss. In all, another great set in the "Original Masters" series.

          I sort of ignored this collection after I bought it because of how much music there is to contend with, but I recently re-discovered these discs and WOW. I really love hearing Kremer play Beethoven. His style compliments this music in some surprising and profound ways.

          5 out of 5 stars excellent value and performances.......2005-02-18

          Like the other entries in DG's "Collector's Editions", the eight discs come in envelopes and a compact box with a liner note booklet. This box includes all of the Beethoven violin sonatas (3 full discs) Kremer recorded in the late eighties and early nineties. The performances are higly regarded (see Amazon reviews under the individual discs, Penguin and Grammaphon reviews very positive as well). In addition, you get higly regarded recrodings of sonatas by Schumann and Brahms. The Prokofiev is the only disc of the eight that falls flat. The music does not require Kremer's pyrotechnics and would benefit from a subtler interpretation. Recording quality is first rate throughout. All in all, an excellent repackaging and value!
