            3 out of 5 stars What worked was great.......2007-05-29

            I'm not really reviewing Rachmaninov... I think the titles of the music listed speak for themselves if you know any Rachmaninov. If you don't know any Rachmaninov, I'd suggest you do so pretty quick.

            Anyway, I got my CD in the mail promptly, but it was buggy. It comes in two CDs... first problem came when trying to copy the music to my computer; the names and data of each song are not loaded onto my CD properly... all the song names on the second disk were the the same as the first, so my computer just overwrote them if that makes any sense, so I had a jumble of pieces and had to end up recopying, etc., yada yada.

            Second problem is that on some tracks the piece would stop in the middle, unfinished, and go on to the next track. For example, it would be listed as being 4:45 minutes long, but would stop at say, 2:24 in mid-piece and go onto the next track. Bummer.

            But I don't really know much about CDs, it could just be my copy, who knows. Other than that, what I did get is gorgeous.

                Amazon.com

                Showcasing 14 pieces for solo piano, two for piano and orchestra, three for orchestra, and the triumphant final chorus from "A Faust Symphony," this 2-CD set gives the listener a remarkably honest overview of the work of Franz Liszt. Complete pieces are offered and can stand on their own; many will tempt the listener to explore further. For instance, Liszt's transcription of Schubert's "Die Forelle," handsomely played here by Valerie Tryon, can whet the appetite for his other transcriptions; similarly, Michael Halasz leads the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in a reading of "Les Préludes" that might make new listeners seek out the composer's other symphonic poems. The recordings cover Liszt's entire career, from the 1838 "La Campanella" to the 1881 "Valses Oubliées." If you love Liszt, want to get to know him better, or are just looking for a compendium, this set is a treasure. --Robert Levine

                4 out of 5 stars An Unusually Low Price for This Mostly OK 2CD Compilation.......2006-11-10

                Naxos has recycled this music not only from various of their Liszt CDs but also from an earlier 'Best of Liszt' compilation. But this time it is a 2CD set and the price is even lower than it was first time around.

                As for the performances, some are very good and some are, uh, not. By and large the piano performances are excellent. Particular fine are Liszt's transcription of Schubert's 'Die Forelle' ('The Trout') played by Valerie Tryon, William Wolfram's performance of 'Un sospiro' ('A Sigh') and 'Gnomenreigen', and Jenö Jandó's 'Liebestraum No. 3' (that's the most familiar of the three). Jandó also gives us a fine 'Feux follets' and 'Au bord d'une source'. The two movements from the Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 (played by Joseph Banowetz) are excellent.

                However, some of the orchestral recordings are poorly performed and recorded. I don't think I've ever heard as bad a performance of 'Les Préludes' (the offending orchestra is the Polish Radio Orchestra, the conductor Michael Halász, both of whom also appear in Liszt's admittedly lame orchestration of his popular Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and the 'Prometheus' tone poem).

                Overall, I will give this a mild recommendation largely because for someone coming to Liszt's music for the first time, these piano performances are quite creditable and some of the orchestral performances are OK (like the accompaniments to the two concerto movements and for the choral finale of Liszt's Faust Symphony).

                4 out of 5 stars Some of Sibelius' Best-Loved Music, and More.......2006-11-11

                Naxos has been releasing a series called 'The Very Best of ...' and now comes 'The Very Best of Sibelius.' Surely Sibelius's orchestral music is some of the most-loved music of the twentieth century. His deep rich string chords, with those lovely pedal points, those woodwind melodies harmonized in thirds and sixths, and his sense of the epic all make up one of the most-recognizable musical styles of the past one hundred years. Naxos has published uncounted CDs containing a large part of his output and they have now combined some of these into this two CD compilation that includes complete orchestral movements, songs and piano pieces. Included, of course, are 'Finlandia', 'The Swan of Tuonela' (featuring the beautiful playing of an unnamed English horn player of the Iceland Symphony), 'Valse triste', a couple of sections of the 'Karelia Suite.' But there are also some rarely-heard songs and some of the virtually unknown piano pieces.

                There are also some of the best-known movements from the symphonies: the Scherzo from No. 1, Finale of No. 2, the Finale of the 5th (with an excitingly played finish, I must say). Also the slow movement of the Violin Concerto played beautifully by Dong-Suk Kang. And the complete 'En Saga', which some feel is Sibelius's greatest work.

                The orchestral performances are by some of Naxos's stable of provincial orchestras, some quite good, others a bit underpowered. Obviously these are not the very best performances on record of any of these works; there are simply too many superb performances recorded by the world's great orchestras and conductors. But all of the performances here are acceptable and I suggest that this compilation is a good place for anyone unfamiliar with Sibelius to sample many of his always rewarding works.

                5 out of 5 stars Another Great Sibelius Collection!!!.......2006-11-09

                There are many great compilations out there that document the music of the masterful Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. This double-CD recently released on the Naxos label is another one to be added to that list.
                Extracts from Sibelius' best known works are included here such as the "Karelia Suite", his Second and Fifth Symphonies, "Pohjola's Daughter", the "Valse Triste", "Swan of Tuolena", "En Saga" and of course "Finlandia". Unlike most compilations that focus on his best known work, the Naxos compilation also includes lesser known works such as a portion of "Kyllikki" for solo piano, "Romance for Strings", the "Andante Festivo" and two pieces for vocal and piano ("Reed, Reed, Rustle" and "To Evening").
                With its overall length of 2 hours and 15 minutes, Naxos' "Very Best of Sibelius" compilation is another definitive document of this immortal legend. Of course, the works represented here are worth checking out in their complete versions as well.
                Also recommended is Sony Music's "Greatest Hits" compilation as well as the "Orchestral Favorites with Photo Album" disc from Ondine.
