Editorial Reviews
Album Description
From the Top®, the hit public radio program heard on more than 240 radio stations coast to coast, showcasing the stories and musical performances of exceptional young musicians, has produced a compact disc of some of the best musical performances of its first season. "From the Top® Vol. 1" features solo and ensemble performances by students ages 11-18 . Radio program host and internationally renowned pianist Christopher O’Riley is heard accompanying soloists on several of the tracks.

The musicianship exhibited by all the performers on this compilation is extraordinary. According to the show’s producers, Gerald Slavet and Jennifer Hurley-Wales, "These talented kids play complex, beautiful works, not only with technical virtuosity, but also with genuine artistry."

Experience From the Top®, the classical music show the Minneapolis Star Tribune says is "by turns fresh, fun and profound" and which "could turn out to be the best thing to happen to classical music since Leonard Berstein’s ‘Young People's Concerts.’

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2002-09-01

    As a fourteen year old classical soprano, I am a big fan of From the Top. This album showcases some of the Radio Programs most beautifully performed works, all by young, very talented classical musicians.

    Each piece of music is performed to professional standards, making the entire listening experience truly miraculous! The only thing which I found rather unfair, was that the CD did not include any classical singers. However, all in all, this is a wonderful album...and worth every dime!~Enjoy!
