5 out of 5 stars A long overdue collection by one of the English masters of the clarinet........2007-01-05

The Yorkshireman Reg Kell became famous for using vibrato in the classical world when it was unfashionable. He used it tastefully, and other artists such as Jack Brymer and Emma Johnson have continued to use it. He also had a series of tutorials with Benny Goodman (for Goodman's benefit) which led to Goodman changing his embouchure from the upper teeth on mouthpiece to the upper lip - as well as lower, -on mouthpiece, which perhaps in Goodmans's case was not a good move, as he had it right the first time!.

However these recordings originally came out a very long time ago in the early days of vinyl, and a re-issue is long overdue. Kell's excursion in to light music is interesting, though he stops well short of anything resembling jazz, although he had earlier recorded one record with Bert Ambrose's band in the 1940 which was the nearest he got, - but that is not included here. His main forte is in the works of Mozart, Weber, Beethoven and Brahms, but he also plays Bartok and Templeton. It shows what an accomplished performer he was. All were recorded after he left the UK to live and play in America.

This set shows his rightful place as a performer in the history of clarinet playing. He had raised the standard of the time, and had the benefits of improved recording techniques and length of play boudaries were removed with the LP record.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection.......2006-07-30

My only negative comment is that he rushes some of the runs; everything else is great!

5 out of 5 stars Sumptuous Stokowski.......2005-04-14

This CD would make a great gift for your friends who aren't "tuned in" to classical music. A couple years ago, I played this for a husband & wife who sadly fit that description. About half way through track 2 (Stokowski's incredibly rich transcription of the aria from Bach's Suite No. 3), the husband remarked "Gee, this is really gorgeous music!" I couldn't help wondering: would the same response have been elicited by a "historically informed" period instrument performance? I doubt it. Stokowski was a rare genius at projecting the lyrical beauty of just about everything he ever played. Later on, the wife exclaimed "What delightful dinner music!" That was prompted by the Boccherini Menuet, which was also used so effectively in Stanley Kubrick's visually-stunning film "Barry Lyndon." I decided to give the CD to my friends and buy another copy when, after hearing Berger's utterly delightful Rondo Giocoso, they asked "Could we hear that again?"

If you are interested in surveying more of Stokowski's magnificent recorded legacy, go to Google and type in "complete Stokowski compact discography." That will get you to Stoky expert Robert Stumpf's engagingly frank and down to earth appraisals.

A treasurable disc to share with your friends.

5 out of 5 stars Must Have for Any Jussi Fan.......2001-03-11

It takes a few weeks to get this CD, but it's well worth the wait to hear the earliest recordings of Bjorling. Many of the cuts are in Swedish and include not only opera but operetta and other lighter fare. Though his voice was glorious at any age, it is wonderful to hear how he sounded at the beginning of his career. One real treat is some 1920 recordings of the childhood Jussi with his his two brothers, Olle and Gosta. In Psalm No. 4, the fine vocal ability of the nine year old Jussi presages what will become one of the most splendid tenor voices in opera history.

5 out of 5 stars Arthur Berger should be better known.......2000-03-21

This is one of the major recordings of the music of the unusually fine composer Arthur Berger. Being one of CRI's American Masters series it is a rerelease of music from many performers over a long period. Despite some of the accoustical drawbacks of the recording of the Serenade (it is however a very good performance) this is a very fine recording. The Chamber music for 13 Players is conducted magnificantly by Gunther Schuler.

Along with "An Arthur Berger Retrospective" on New World this is a very good introduction to a warm, generous and fasatinating composer.

Don Bailey has released a CD that showcases a number of lesser-known flute jewels, and the flute world should be grateful to him for it. These pieces are beautiful, and the musicians offer lovely and convincing interpretations. The recording quality is superb, the energy level high, and the flute playing extraordinary. Add this CD to your collection, because it's one you'll listen to again and again.

5 out of 5 stars Soothing fluting.......2000-08-09

This CD really is a musical voyage by reknowned Floutist Don Bailey. It takes the listener on a journey through a varied musical landscape that is at times dark and brooding and at other times, lighthearted and gay. This music, although fine for the casual listener, is really a treat for the trained musicians ear. Don Bailey is a musician's musician, and one worth listening to.

5 out of 5 stars the early days of the golden voice.......2001-11-17

These are historical early recordings of the incomparable Bjorling, one of the greatest and most loved voices of the 20th century, starting when he was 18 years old in 1929, through his 25th year.
This was well before his prime, which was from 1945 to his untimely death at 49 in 1960, but the extraordinary beauty of his voice is there, with amazing strength, considering his youth. The clarity and purity of his golden tone shines through, even though these recordings show their age.

The repertoire is varied with lovely ballads mixed with well known arias. With the exception of the later arias on Disc 2, they are all sung in Swedish. Two big favorites are track # 18 on Disc 1, and # 10 (# 30 on the amazon listing) on Disc 2.
The bonus tracks: These were made in 1920, when Bjorling was 9 years old (he made his debut at age 5 !), and though these 5 tracks are not something one would want to listen to for pleasure, the sound quality being dreadful, they are fascinating and have their historical value.

Though this is far from the best Bjorling you can buy, even the less than perfect Bjorling is still remarkable, and an exquisite delight to hear.
