I am not a music critic nor do I "know" much about music but if you love lovely violin music you will love this.

5 out of 5 stars Great Recording.......2007-01-04

The Kreisler pieces are played exceptionally well. The one disc alone is worth the price of the double disc collection. Great playing.

        5 out of 5 stars Perfectly performed violin masterpieces.......2004-11-02

        In these tiny masterpieces for piano and violin, young prize winning Chinese violinist Bin Huang is perfectly paired with her pianist. I cannot imagine a performance better than theirs. It is filled with both warmth and showmanship.
        Since Amazon could not be kind enough I will list these "vaious" favorites
        Vitalli chaconne
        Tartini Devil's thrill
        Corelli La Folia
        Bach Air on the G string
        Partita excerpts
        Handel sonata d major
        vivaldi sonata in a major

        You could spend a ton trying to find these shorter works in collections by the composers.
        Naxos gives you a wonderful performance and a cheap price. So buy buy buy

        3 out of 5 stars Miniatures, transcriptions, excerpts from four centuries.......2004-09-21

        In the liner notes, the title of this CD is given as 'Favourite Piano Pieces', which seems to fit much better than anything to do with 'Romantic', for here there are gathered miniatures, transcriptions and excerpts by famous and less-famous composers from four different centuries (from the 17th to the 20th)! In fact, the only thing that seems to unite these most diverse tracks is their ability to show off the piano and the pianist to best advantage. The most difficult pieces here appear to be Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Flight of the Bumble Bee' in a transcription by Rachmaninov, and Dohnanyi's incredibly hard 'Concert Etude in F Minor', a fitting close to the whole recital, in which Balász Szokolay is able to distinguish himself as a very able player. The rest of the programme is generally also well-played, with the faster pieces in particular being delivered with skill and gusto, while the slower ones (Debussy, Kreisler) tend to lack something of this enthusiasm; it is perhaps fortunate that the majority of numbers are faster pieces. My personal favourite is Grieg's 'March of the Trolls', closely followed by Handel's 'Harmonious Blacksmith' (which should, of course, really be played on a harpsichord, but still sounds very good on a concert piano) and Paderewski's 'Menuet'. All in all, an entertaining hour of piano playing and excellently recorded, provided you don't mind taking a guided tour through the last 400 years of composition in such a short time.

        5 out of 5 stars Boughton nails Vaughan Williams.......2003-01-07

        Vaughan Williams was responsible for a great renaissance in English music through the development of a distinctive style based on the melodies of folk songs. You can hear excellent examples here on the Greensleeves Fantasia and the Five Variants on Dives and Lazarus. At first these appear to be almost student exercises: Take a theme and play with it. But the resulting pieces have great beauty and William Boughton's conducting shows more than a deep understanding of the music. The phrasing is sensitive without being sentimental. You'll play each track again and again.

        The Tallis Fantasy is based on a very simple hymn tune, but is a remarkable piece. Scored for a double orchestra, the strings play lightly with a tone that evokes a softly playing organ at the distance in a large cathedral. Although many critics instantly recognized the timeless quality of this piece on its first performance at the Three Choirs Festival in 1910, one local paper carried a review that said, in essence, nice enough, but we'll never hear this performed again. Wrong!

        The oboe concerto is a well-crafted spirited piece that does well in performance. Maurice Borgue plays enthusiastically. Unfortunately, the solo instrument is so closely miked, you can hear the pads click on the ebony!

        This is an essential CD to own for any serious lover of English classical music.

        5 out of 5 stars Outstanding introduction to Vaughan Williams.......1999-08-11

        This recording is highly recommended as an introduction to a composer who wrote some of the most beautiful music ever written. The English String Orchestra gives a completely idiomatic and technically brilliant performance, including a Wasps Overture that leaves the listener breathless. The oboe concerto is a particularly haunting work and is performed brilliantly.

        4 out of 5 stars Interesting and Varied Selection, Mostly Transcriptions.......2005-01-23

        This, the fourth of Péter Nagy’s five CDs in the “Romantic Piano Favourites” series from Naxos, was recorded later than the others (September 1988) and is, to my mind, the best of all Nagy’s Naxos recitals. Beginning with his countryman Liszt (a transcription of Schubert’s “Trout” for piano virtuoso), Nagy offers an interesting and vary varied selection of pieces, the majority of them transcribed by someone other than the composer, ranging from Ellenberg’s “Mühle im Schwarzwald” (music that sounds as though it was intended for hurdy-gurdy at some fair) through to highly serious material such as Liszt’s Sonetto 123 del Petrarca or Rachmaninov’s Etude tableau in E flat minor. For me, the most interesting piece on the disc was Godowsky’s “Night in Tangier”, with its dark coloring and unusual rhythms. Kreisler’s “Liebesfreud” in Rachmaninov’s transcription for piano comes next, its joyful tone reflected in the leaps made on the keyboard. But Nagy also manages what he had not on his previous offerings: he plays a convincing Chopin (Waltz in E Minor); and the more lighthearted pieces (Beethoven’s Minuet in G; Rosas’s waltz from “Sobre los olas”) all come over perfectly acceptably with none of the rather overdone left hand or the “press-on-regardless” attitude which seemed to me to characterize some of his earlier recordings. As the sound of the recording is also good, this is promising material.
