Amazon.com

Using the same budgeted design as on their (surprisingly pricey) Original Jacket series of box sets, Sony has unleashed a true bargain here: 12 CDs that average a little over five bucks a pop. Lenny's second cycle for Deutsche Grammophon may boast greater sonics, plenty of wonderful moments, and the complete song cycles, but it costs more than twice as much. Here, we get a younger Lenny, sounding fresh and expressive and delivering still-unparalleled interpretations of the First, Third, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth, and pretty great performances of the rest. The intensity on these discs is infectious and the price can't be beat. A must-have. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Average customer rating: Mahler Universal Fantastic Performance, Recording Lacks Bass An amazing performance that plainly justifies its cult status! A Poignant Rendition by a Musical Painter fresh,naturally flowing Mahler.

Bernstein in an Historical Recording of Mahler's Third Symphony.......2000-05-21

The New York Philharmonic musicians in 1961 were probably far less familiar with the long and complicated Mahler's 3rd than they are today. As an apparent result, there are many places throughout the performance where everything doesn't quite line up correctly. There are several key, extended solos in the 3rd symphony---the violin and posthorn (trumpet) solos are outstanding, but the trombone solo suffers from inconsistent intonation (as do the trumpet and horn sections elsewhere).

The orchestra plays quite well throughout---particularly the woodwind section---and Bernstein leads them in a well constructed and often joyous performance. The first movement has a very nice pace to it and an exciting ending. The 3rd movement, however, seems a bit labored and slow, rather than rolling along with the lilting pastoral feeling at its heart. The finale is extremely successful in Bernstein's hands, with a slow and measured pace leading up to a gorgeous climax.

At times Bernstein seeks the broad gesture instead of carefully crafted ensemble work from his musicians. I had very high expectations of this recording when I purchased it, primarily because it has been so favorably mentioned over the years. The recording is exciting and well worth investigating, but I was still slightly disappointed that it did not live up to my hyped-up expectations.

While this recording may be of particular interest to Bernstein fans or Mahler afficionados, it is not the best recording of the 3rd symphony around. Better to buy Horenstein's with the London Symphony Orchestra or James Levine's with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; apparently Salonen's recording with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra is fine, but I was not overwhelmed when I heard them perform the work live.

The recording is supplemented by a series of songs: one from Des Knaben Wunderhorn (another poem from this set is used in the 5th movement of the 3rd symphony); the three Rueckert-Lieder; and the desolate Kindertotenlieder. All are well sung by Jennie Tourel and convey the beauty of Mahler's compositional style even in the shorter forms.

very good overall.......2000-01-20

As to the vocal solist Raskin does a commendable job and has some of the boyish quality really needed! She was tremdously good and one wonders where she is these days! This is a superb disc for the people out there who want a non fussy interpretation which really sticks close to the score.

Keep your Klemperer discs as well...Szell and Kemperer were much more alike than one would wish to think!

Customer Reviews:

Great collections, with poor quality sound.......2003-01-09

There are a lot of great music collections, but they will sound better when they record it right.

It is good when you just want to have more classical music, but for a CD, the sound quality is like a [poorley made] CD.

I give 3 stars for this product.

The Greatest Collection Of Romantic Era Music.......2002-09-05

Somewhat lacking.......2001-03-28

The collection is well designed for introducing the listener to a large variety of music, with its broad range of composers and types of music. However, the interpretation of the music is hardly existant, and many of the pieces sound rather dull and uninteresting. Some lively pieces are played too slowly, and nearly all of them without emotion, keeping the set out of reach from being included in a true classical collection. Despite all that, the sheer number and range of pieces (along with the low price) make this a collection well suited for the new classical listener.
