5 out of 5 stars worth money.......2007-05-24

this cd set is definately worth the money spent. i haven't heard some of the music before but was willing to give it a try.

5 out of 5 stars Great Patriotic Music.......2007-02-21

Beautiful music perfect for feeling patriotic. Received CD promptly and in great condition.

4 out of 5 stars A good choice of tunes with good quality.......2005-06-30

If you like military tunes and marches, this 2-CD is a good choice. The orchestration is good, it is well played and the quality of recording is good. If you like this kind of music, it is a good choice to buy.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!!.......2003-08-11

I have the CD at home and the songs sound fabulous. I've heard the Houston Symphony's version of the Star Spangled Banner many times on TV as this anthem has been used at sign-off (when this was happening). It's as powerful a version you'll hear. Probably the finest patriotic music CD you can find out there.

5 out of 5 stars Best Patriotic Music I've Found.......2001-09-20

Loved the CD! I am buying it to use with a Musical Freestyle Ride for a Quadrille. A horse oriented endeaver. The music will be perfect to bring positive patriotism to fairs and fund raisers for NYC.

3 out of 5 stars Average.......1999-05-03

This CD is only average as a whole. It's selection of music includes most of the great traditionally American anthems and songs, but totally ignores others. The music was mostly too loud to my ears also, and I did not like the modernist renditions of some of them. "America The Beautiful" in particular was far too heavy handed and operatic to be enjoyable. Also, just so you know -- there are a total of 18 songs on this CD; I don't know why Amazon only lists 5.

      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.

        5 out of 5 stars A classic classical album.......2005-06-21

        The Third is the most charming of Charles Ives' four "official" symphonies; one imagines the French would have been able to perform it - & loved it - during the 1920's. Subsequent research & a better sense of Ives' "sound" cannot be altogether discounted when listening to Hanson's committed 1959 performance; James Sinclair with the Northern Sinfonia on Naxos has a lighter & more deft touch that I believe is closer to what Ives heard in his head. But the inclusion of "Three Places," William Schuman's "New England Triptych," & the rugged Symphony no. 5 by the somewhat neglected Peter Mennin make this a classic classical album. Mercury's close mic "Living Presence" recording is better heard on speakers than through earphones, & was a sonic wonder of the era.

        5 out of 5 stars Go to the center of the matter.......2000-07-07

        Howard Hanson finds so much in these works that when you compare them to other performances you think you're listening to different works.

        This is particularly true of the Ives. No one conducted Ives like Hanson who, as an eminent composer himself, had unique insight into how Ives's mind worked. Voices, rhythmic patterning, tones, piled up and juxtaposed sonorities, the whole rich pallete is laid out for your delectation. Hanson is in no way picayune, either. He has a brilliant argument going for Ives as a classicist as much as a modernist. There is no other recording of the third symphony as full and rewarding as this.

        The Schuman is another American standby that gets the revelatory Hanson treatment and is all the better for it. Often, when you do get to hear it, it's treated as an occasional piece, a patriotic "historiograph" or impression for us to enjoy and forget. After Hanson, you don't forget it...it's a first-rate work that you want to hear over and over with its evocative colors and straightforward, artistic honesty. You almost feel that Schuman could have reworked it into one of his beautiful and powerful symphonies.

        And the Mennin is just that, compelling, powerful, beautiful. The ERSO outdoes itself with heft here, without overdoing it. Mennin propels everything forward and is extremely economical with his ideals. Hanson shows you how it all fits together without it seeming like a lecture-recital. Mennin usually didn't get such probing performances of his works, and after listening to this, you bemoan the fact that he died a few years back at just 51 years old. We were lucky to have him.

        Add this beautiful Mercury to your carefully chosen collection of fine American music. You will find it wears very well and that you gain something more from it every time you put it on.

        4 out of 5 stars Perfect for Halloween!.......2007-01-04

        We enjoyed broadcasting the tunes thru our mp3 player on Halloween night. THe trick or treaters and their parents really enjoyed the music

        4 out of 5 stars What, you call this scary music?.......2005-07-07

        I'm familiar with most of the pieces found in this CD, and I can say I don't think they are frightening at all. They're great and highly enjoyable in their own right (the 'Danse Macabre' by Camille Saint-Saens is lovely dance music), but if one's intention is to bring together a collection of pieces of truly scary classical music, then this anthology hasn't done the job.

        Here's a list of what I would consider TRULY TERRIFYING works of classical music:

        ~Ralph Vaughan Williams' 4th & 6th symphonies (especially the 2nd movement of each of them)

        ~Igor Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring'

        ~Gyorgy Ligeti's 'Atmospheres' and 'Lux Aeterna' (used in the film '2001')

        ~Almost anything by Bela Bartok (but especially his 'The Miraculous Mandarin')

        If you want to be truly frightened, go for the said pieces!

        3 out of 5 stars Music Is Very Good, However................2004-08-14

        The music on this CD is all very good, but as I play it, I don't really feel that "Bump in the Night" sensation throughout. Since it appears to be marketed for fun Halloween gatherings, I cannot honestly say that it will jumpstart the mood for the average party-goer. While "Funeral March For a Marionette" is extremely creepy and sets the mood (for those of you baby-boomers who don't recognize the title---this was the theme music to the "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" TV series), other tunes kind of pull the plug on the momentum. Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" might ring Seasonal for classical music buffs, but I think your everyday Joe will picture helicopters soaring over Vietnam and the cry "I love the smell of napalm in the morning!"

        FOUR STARS if you just want a nice sampling of bold classical music, and TWO STARS if you want it to go "Bump!" in the Night.

        4 out of 5 stars Good Classical type Halloween music anthology.......2004-07-14

        While this CD might cover most of the standard "creepy classics", there are a few more it could have covered, but frankly, the only song on the whole thing I didn't care for was Ives "Halloween". Some people may think that completely discordant music is great, but I do NOT! Otherwise, everything else was a great selection, and very entertaining. Definitely worth having, esp. if you like classical music.

        5 out of 5 stars Good for Halloween Gatherings.......2003-09-25

        If you're looking for a fun CD with spooky sounding music that reminds you of old Disney cartoons...I think that this CD was meant to be fun, NOT for the classical conisseur. It would be a nice CD for a Halloween gathering, or something similar, as background music.

        Customer Reviews:

        5 out of 5 stars A 10-CD box of top Bernstein performances.......2005-11-13

        This mid-price "Original Jacket" set of classic Bernstien performances--most culled from the Sixties and all iwth the NY Phil.--could be put in a time capsule with a note: "These are the recordings that made Leonard Bernstien famous." I grew up with all of them, including the televized lecture on the Eroica. I have owned these performance since college, and this set includes some first-choice readings, basically all the CDs devoted to Copland, Gershwin, Sibelius, Haydn, Beethoven, and Stravinsky.

        Reviewers here never tire of propagating the canard that LB was chiefly famous for his Mahler. Actually, he had a broad repertoire that he excelled in (I don't particularly favor the Mahler Fifth in this set--the only disappointment in a field of excellence).

        The only problem with this collection is the price. It would be hard to find a music lover who doesn't already own several of these CDs separately, so instead of paying $100 for a new copy, one should search eBay or the used department here at Amazon.

        4 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Overview of Bernstein's Art.......2004-05-16

        This collection not only provides a fascinating overview of the art of Leonard Bernstein, it also provides one with a fairly comprehensive view of what Lenny and the controversy surrounding his music making were all about.

        All of the recordings here are with Bernstein conducting the New
        York Philharmonic, which for my money, is by far the more interesting part of his career. As he got older, Lenny tended to go "molto" more often, take tempoes slower and, generally,
        conduct with more self-indulgence than he did at this stage of things, when he was both more daring and more studious. The music contained here gives some idea of the range of Bernstein's
        scope, and it is remarkable: from Haydn to Ives, from Beethoven
        to Leonard Bernstein.

        To start things off, there is one of the best performances of Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony on record, a wonderful document of just how excellent an orchestra the New York Philharmonic could be when they wanted to be. Lenny's reading of Beethoven's milestone score is both meticulous and passionate. You couldn't ask for anything more.

        Disk 2 features two suites by the conductor as composer. The
        suite from "On the Waterfront" fares better than the "Symphonic
        Dances from West Side Story." It's hard to figure out why, but for some reason, the Philharmonic just refuses to swing through the overture ("Jet Song"), while handling all the other rythymic
        intricacies in the score with incredible aplomb. The mambo section ("The Dance at the Gym") is particularly intense. Go figure! Just one more example of what a tempermental orchestra
        the New York Philharmonic could be.

        NOBODY ever conducted Aaron Copland's music better than Leonard
        Bernstein. The "Billy the Kid" and "Rodeo" suites contained on Disk 3 provide excellent cases in point.

        The Gershwin pieces on Disk 4 give testimony to Bernstein's legendary self-indulgence. Bernstein's rubato is broad and generous, tempoes fluctuate wildly from fast to slow and back again. Lenny seems more intent in showing off his own virtuousity (as both conductor and performer) than in getting to the heart of "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris." The
        odd thing is, for all their quirks and eccentricities, these performances "work." Sometimes they are charming and endearing, at others, they are off-putting. It all depends on the mood you are in.

        Disk 5 features two Haydn symphonies, # 82, "The Bear" and # 83, "The Hen." Critical opinion of Bernstein's Haydn is sharply divided: for some tastes, Lenny's Haydn is too dramatic, for others, Bernstein was an instinctively great interpreter of Haydn. Listen here and make your own call.

        While Bernstein often gets the credit for generating popular interest in Mahler's music in America (a credit which rightfully belongs to Mitropoulos), there is no question that he "discovered" Charles Ives for most Americans. Bernstein's radio broadcast of Ives' Symphony # 2 was its world premiere, and this recording shows Ives in all his glory. Quirky, polytonal, cantankerous, and funny as hell. A really marvelous
        performance.

        Disk 7 is given to perhaps Bernstein's favorite composer, Gustav Mahler. Unfortunately, the piece chosen is Mahler's 7th, the "orphan child" of Mahler's symphonies. The so-called "Symphony of the Night" remains more interesting for intellectual and musicological reasons (it was a major influence on Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg) than for emotional ones.
        Rarely performed, and even more rarely recorded, this remains one
        of the best recordings of this piece out there. It may take many, many listenings before you "get it" and start to like it, but if Lenny can't do it for you, it's doubtful anybody can.

        Disk 8 contains Bernstein's controversial recording of the Shostakovich 5th Symphony. This is as rousing and heroic a performance of this music as you will ever hear. Whether that's
