5 out of 5 stars pristine.......2007-03-04


I Musici is rivaled perhaps only by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields when it comes to predictably crystalline performances of the Baroque masters. When I Musici, Felix Ayo, Heinz Holliger, and Maurice Bourge turn to Albinoni's concerto repertoire, the outcome is never in doubt.

Let me clarify that these comments do not in any way suggest that this Philips two-disk set is 'standard' in any pedantic way. Emphatically, it is not.

Rather, the artists team with Philips' Duo Series to render access to a masterful rendering of one of Early Baroque's unsung great ones affordable to the masses, of which this reviewer is a card-carrying member.

One can only say 'Bravo!'.

4 out of 5 stars outstanding oboe concerti.......2007-01-25

This is a re-issue of recordings made in the mid 1960s, so they are 40 years old; however the sound, while not as good as one can expect from a current CD, is quite good. Albiboni's Opus 9 is a set of 12 concertos, 4 for violin, four for oboe and four for two oboes with orchestra. They are in 5 parts, and rather simple when compared with Bach, for example. They are not written for virtuoso soloists, rather for oboe with orchestra. In my opinion the violin concertos, while pleasant enough, do not compare with those of his contempories, such as vivaldi and Bach. However the oboe concertos are outstanding, and while I could nominate the odd baroque 0boe concerto that is as good or better, the set of six stand alone.
The 12 concertos are played by I Musici, a long established modern instrument group that specialises in music of this period, the violin solo is by Felix Ayo, their first violin, and the oboes are played my the great Heinz Hollinger and Maurice Bourgue. So I can find little to criticise with the performance, I Musici and Hollinger were/are world class. Deciding on a rating was not easy, but taking the recording of Opus 9 as a whole I gave it 4 and feel a little mean, the 6 oboe concertos alone would get 5.

5 out of 5 stars best Albinoni ever.......2007-01-10

Tomaso Albinoni is best known for his Adagio, that is actually an arrangement by Giazzoto. His real masterpieces are the Concertos Opus 9(recorded here by I Musici). The sound of this recording is very good considering its age (mid 1950s and 1960s). The Concerto Op. 9/2 is the most beautiful oboe concerto ever composed. Heinz Holliger is explendid as soloist. If you like baroque music played in a old-fashioned way (rather romantic), it's for you. If you like baroque music played accordind "authentic baroque techniques it's not for you.

5 out of 5 stars I Musici di Roma, Stradivarius, and Italian Baroque Is Divine Perfection.......2005-10-09

I wish to start my review by warning Amazon shoppers about two previous and seemingly 'knowledgeable' reviews commenting on I Musici's qualifications for playing Baroque and not playing on traditional instruments as a discouragement in buying their performances as they are somewhat slanderous. Their comments actually make me laugh and question their range of listening experience in traditional Baroque techniques and instruments or knowledge of anything dealing with classical music at all since I Musici has not only been the most acclaimed Baroque ensemble in Italy and the entire world for over 50 years praised by legends such as Toscanini for being 'The best chamber orchestra in the world', the main reason its musicians and strings outmatch every other traditional Baroque group in the world is precisely because they masterfully perform on the most prized of all period string instruments in existence! String instruments that most professional violinists, cellists, etc., can only dream of ever playing in their lifetimes! A string instrument that only the most competent of players can master to bring out its fluid range and sound! I Musici performs all of their pieces almost exclusively on Stradivarius string instruments! Although other traditional ensembles do use traditional period instruments, few if any of them play on Stradivari, and if they do it will probably be just the lead violin as Stradivari are simply too rare to be played in unison by most professional groups. A Stradivarius is an instrument in and of itself and other traditional string instruments don't even come close to sounding like one. A Stradivarius is nothing less than divine in its sound as one can hear with I Musici as they play plenty of them. And so although I can understand the aesthetics of such listeners/reviewers for other performers, please, don't tell others that I Musici isn't playing authentic instruments when you can't even recognize a Stradivarius playing in your ear! You are simply embarassing yourselves. Or, for that matter, don't say that they can't competently play 'traditional' Italian Baroque when they're the best group from Italy, comprised of experts in the Italian Baroque and Romantic traditions, virtuously playing on many Stradivari, and have been acclaimed as one of the best Italian Baroque groups in the world by reknown classical experts and laypersons alike for over five decades! As for this recording and others in general, some reviewers have also complained that I Musici's somewhat more romantic interpretations of Baroque don't work with Albinoni's music such as his Adagio and so are not 'traditional' enough in comparison to other performances. Traditional interpretation of Albinoni's 'Adagio' would be absurd since Albinoni's original 'Adagio' is a horribly deficient piece of which there are no real performances that I can think of as a result. What is ironic then is that this model of Albinoni's 'traditionalism' such reviewers are referring to can only be Remo Giazotto's popular 19th Century Romantic revision of the 'Adagio' being presently used as the standard of every single Baroque or Romantic period performance available on the market today.

I have heard various renditions of Albinoni's Concertos, Op. 9 and, besides a few other performances by Baroque groups, I have not heard many that even compare to I Musici in performing Albinoni or Italian Baroque generally. Don't be deceived into buying other performances even if they are by great conductors and symphonies such as Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic or Solti and the Chicago/London Symphonies. And Karajan's orchestral rendition is indeed a very moving one but orchestral ensembles are generally too large for chamber pieces and most of the instruments used are modern which changes many important aspects of the piece. They are also recorded in too large of spaces so the performances sound like Beethoven's 9th instead of a chamber piece. There are other groups and recordings that are more faithful to Baroque techniques and traditional interpretations such as those directed by Hogwood but they have various problems as well. Individual violinists such as Manze mentioned by the previous reviewer tend to be overly rigid and lifeless in their interpretations as they are more founded in musicological disciplines on ancient instruments and techniques as opposed to professional performance. This can be problematic especially with interpreting Italian Baroque which is always more freely expressive in mood than German Baroque. This results in clumsy and lifeless performances where each musician painfully over-accentuates the proper techniques throughout the entire piece so that it comes out sounding as a tedious cacophony instead of a symphony. Like Jack says in the 'Witches of Eastwick' to Susan Sarandon playing her cello, "You kill the passion!" by such emphasis. Hogwood's musical background is also founded more in the German Baroque tradition of Bach and Handel and not Italian Baroque and so turns the piece into more of a mechanical movementby Bach from his direction on the harpsichord which is always the meter in all Italian concerti. I Musici is comprised of some of the finest classical musicians alive today who emphasize more on a passionate Italian Romantic interpretation in their performances instead of a rigid Baroque one and the results are most delightful to the ears. That perhaps is the only flaw in its interpretation of the often over-methodical Italian Baroque style for the concerti grossi. Although I Musici usually tends to again use a more fluid Italian Romantic style rather than a strict Baroque one, their shortcomings in that field are hardly a defect in their performances or this recording: on the contrary, they enhance them! These slight shortcomings are more than compensated for by I Musici performing with some of the best classical musicians exclusively on original Stradivarius string instruments. Such groups also tend to use traditional stringing and playing techniques that limit the range of the instrument which is not always what the composer desired such as Mozart and Beethoven who were forced to accept the limited range and tonality of the piano forte in performing their compositions but who actually composed them with a yet non-existant Steinway in mind. I Musici in a sense compliments such limitations with some Romantic techniques in the style of Paganini but following the Baroque concerti grossi tradition with period instruments and in remaining within the size of a small Baroque chamber orchestra. Also, the musical cohesion and caliber of the performers in I Musici is such that they do not use an overt conductor even at the harpsichord: they therefore have no need of one such as Hogwood to lead them and the performances have less hesitations as a result. Lastly, I Musici di Roma is also known for having some of the best sound engineering and mixing for its recordings than any other chamber group and this also applies to the earliest recordings. The recording quality for their performances is so rich and clear for each instrument being played that you actually feel as if you are at a live performance each time you hear them.

I Musici di Roma is unequivocally one of the best, if not the best, performing groups for Baroque music and you won't go wrong buying any of their performances no matter whether the composers are from the Italian or German Baroque period. I certainly haven't heard any single group or orchestra even come close to matching their 1982 performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons with Pina Carmirelli. This particular recording with Garatti and Ayo is probably not with one of the best violinists to have performed Italian Baroque with them such as Carmirelli or Acardo but it is accompanied with some of the best musicians in their class such Hollinger. It is a great buy!

2 out of 5 stars Not very "Baroque" and not my taste.......2001-06-28

This may be good for some people but I really didn't like it:

I thought it was not played in the Baroque style. I personally hate vibrato and this had a lot of it. It made it the slow movements very annoying for me to listen to. I admit I might be a little obsessed but vibrato really ruins a performance for me.

It was played with "heavy fingers" especially on the violins. This was a very "romantic" interpertaion for me.

A much better performance in my opinion is one directed by Hogwood and performed by Manze (Uni/Decca - #458129) which was performed on "authentic" instruments.

4 out of 5 stars Convincing Bach Violin Performance.......2005-09-27

Stern is certainly to be revered as great violin virtuoso, whether on this recording or not is question.

My humble listening tells me that the first two offerings, A minor and E major Violin Concertos are a bit lackluster and scratchy, and as another review points out, even at bits sound a bit off.

However, for me the final two are magnificent. The final two movements of the Double Violin Concerto are superb, with Perlman and Mehta ringing in with gusto and passion. Gomberg as well does his part in making the oboe and violin concerto a triumph, with lilting, rich phrasing and clear tonality. Truly is a great soloist, and the third movement is outstanding!

3 out of 5 stars Isaac Stern played this well.......2002-09-17

I found Gidon Kremer's version of the concerto in A minor to be much better. He blitzed through it brilliantly. Stern on the other hand played that concerto like a beginner, as if unsure of himself, and I think did himself and his abilities grave injustice. Maybe it's because I was expecting great stuff from him I was disappointed.
He and Perlman play the double concerto rather well though.

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!.......2002-04-18

Beautifully done.
Isaac Stern was simply the master of his art. As an artist myself, I found the music powerful, and it touches my heart. Appreciating music, I would not analyze it too much, simply enjoy. Let the musicans reach out and touch your hearts as well.

3 out of 5 stars Isaac Stern - A Life in Music - Bach: Violin concertos.......2000-02-26

These recordings are OK. In the first two recordings, I found Stern scratchy and off-key (probably because they were bothe done the same day), however I found the second two refreshing and well-performed! In the Double Concerto, Isaac Stern and Itzhak Perlman give a well-done recording with beautiful effects! It all begins with a fast, 3-minute violin piece, then it goes into the beautiful middle movement of the piece (in Largo ma non Tanto)---this is probably the most beautiful piece ever written (or performed)--- it all ends with another 3-minute violin piece which is also well-done! The violin-oboe concerto in C-major (which is conducted by Leonard Bernstein) is extrememly well-performed and clear, however it does not posses the virtuoso that the other three do. I suggest this one with, Bach: Violin concertos with Pinchas Zukerman and Jose-Luis Garcia!

4 out of 5 stars Recommended.......1999-12-23

If you're not a great lover of authentic baroque performance, then this CD is the best choice. Stern's violin is clear and beautiful. The orchestra plays just right - not too loud, but still present - unlike Grumiaux's famous version for Philips, which I find quite lame.

5 out of 5 stars Virtuosic Trumpet: Baroque And Classical Showcase.......2004-02-22

This album is an incredible showcase for the trumpet and the orchestra, in other words, the trumpet concerto. Hakan Hardenberger, the featured trumpet player, is highly talented and at the top of his game. Even the great jazz and classical trumpeter Winston Marsalis does'nt seem to reach the flights of fancy on the trumpet as does Hakan Hardenberger. Hardenberger masters the trumpet to perfection, capturing every nuance and every tone, from fortissimo fanfares to the softest pianissimo. On this compilation are the trumpet concerti of Baroque and Classical Era composers, among them Corelli and Albinoni and the Classical masters Franz Joseph Haydn and Leopold Mozart, Mozart's father. The sheer scale and magnetism of this music cannot be neglected. It is the greatest gathering of trumpet concerti ever made. The trumpet was perhaps the most fascinating instrument for Baroque composers. The trumpet produces grand, triumphant tones when played forte. It was an instrument that was displayed in ceremonial pomp- weddings, coronations and marches. The Baroque composers were sponsored by kings so they were expected to compose music for trumpet, which could be expressive not only as a fanfare for the king himself, but as an instrument of many dynamics. It can be played softly and slowly, which seems to create a nocturnal, reflective mood and staccato and fast-paced which made the music sound exciting and lively. In my opinion, it was the premier instrument of the Baroque Age.

The cd opens with the Trumpet Concerto In E Flat Major by Johann Hummel. This colorful piece is particularily impressive as it really explores the dynamic potential for the trumpet. It's third movement, the Rondo, is very exciting music, as it is played very fast and in a bouncy, dance-like manner. The Trumpet Concerto by Stamitz, Hertel and Richter are very stylish and must have been highly admired in the Baroque Era. The Trumpet concerto in E by Franz Joseph Haydn, who influenced Mozart, is beautiful, especially in its serenade-style andante second movement. In the last cd, Leopold Mozart's trumpet concerto is featured, and it's a good work. Perhaps his son Mozart greatly admired it, though Mozart did'nt really expand on trumpet concerti himself nor really ever showcased the instrument greatly. There are trumpet arrangements for the famous Albinoni Adagio in G, which on this version, sounds chilling, dark and dramatic. The cd concludes with trumpet versions of Bach's Organ Preludes and the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria.

4 out of 5 stars superb playing.......2003-10-30

Hardenberger is indeed an extraordinary. The playing is right up there with the best of them. One thing unique to hardnberger is his ability to lock in ever note of every passage reguardless of register, speed, etc. In addition he playes with great character. The only reason i give hims less than 5 stars is because his lyricism, the most important thing, is surpassed by Maurice Andre and Phil Smith without questiong. especially after seing all of them live and buying their CDs. He is definitely among the greatests ever.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Trumpeter in the Business.......2003-05-25

It's a rare treat for a reviewer when he can throw caution to the winds and go out on a limb for a musician. This is such an occasion for me. Hakan Hardenberger is a phenomenon. I think he is the Babe Ruth, the Wayne Gretzky, the Michael Jordan, the Vladimir Horowitz, the Jascha Heifetz of trumpet players.

Hardenberger is a Swedish trumpeter who made his first recording (Haydn, Hummel, Hertel, and Stamitz trumpet concertos, with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields under Neville Marriner, on Philips) in 1986 when he was only 25 years old (in the cover photo of the original CD he looks like a boy). The first time I played this debut CD of his, my jaw dropped and I could hardly believe my ears. His playing was a revelation--absolutely stunning. I'd never heard trumpet playing to compare with it. In my opinion, with his first two CDs young Hardenberger not only moved into the top rank of trumpeters; he swept right past his competitors to the head of the class. I've compared a number of his baroque concerto performances, here and elsewhere, with those of other famous trumpeters, and he always comes out on top. I believe him to be in a league of his own. He has everything: virtuosity and technique to burn, dead-on intonation, clean trills, smooth legato, expressive shading, beauty of tone, brilliant high notes, enormous dynamic range. He is also a sound musician, with taste and a sense of style. His arsenal is complete and unassailable; there is no chink in his armor.

Everything that was on that debut CD is now in this Philips Duo set, which is a much better value, because it offers two generously filled CDs--72:55 and 78:27--for the price of one, adding most of the contents of two later Hardenberger CDs of baroque music for trumpet (the recordings here were made from 1986 through 1993). It's a good buy, and if you're going to own only one collection of baroque trumpet music, this is the one I'd recommend.

The trumpet has always been a difficult instrument to record and reproduce accurately. Here, although the consistently excellent digital recording presents Hardenberger very much front and center, it captures the timbre, "bite," and wide dynamic range of his trumpet with exemplary vividness and fidelity. On a top-quality playback system, he sounds like he's standing right between the speakers playing for you. And what playing it is! Not to be missed.

Hardenberger's second CD, of Telemann Trumpet Concertos, also accompanied by the ASMF, this time under Iona Brown, was recorded in 1987 (again on Philips). It too is marvelous, fully as impressive as his first CD, but unfortunately none of it is included in the Philips Duo reviewed here, so you have to acquire it separately. It's well worth it.

Long live the king!

5 out of 5 stars Virtuosic... Incredible.......2001-08-06

You don't have to be a fan of the instrument in order to appreciate and become overwhelmed by the beauty, the splendor and acrobatics of the trumpet. In the Baroque era, it was a instrument for the royal treatment and heralded arrival of kings and war. The performances here are excellent- Hardenberger, I Musici and Neville Marriner and his orchestra deliver virtuosic renditions of Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in E flat, Hummel's, Hertel's, Molter's and Albinoni's concerti, as well as incredible arrangements of Ave Maria by Bach and Albinoni's Adagio.

5 out of 5 stars A non-trumpet player's view..........2001-02-12

Although I love classical music and have done so for a long time, I must confess that I am not a trumpet player. With that said, I must say that these two CDs are wonderful. My first recording of the Hummel and the Haydn concertos was the second Marsalis/Leppard/ECO recording on Sony Classical (titled Wynton Marsalis - The London Concert). Inexperienced with trumpet recordings at the time, I really treasured the CD. After all, a big name artist known for his virtuosity was performing the technically demanding concertos. What more could you ask for? After a while, though, I began to feel that Marsalis didn't really do it for me in these works. Sure, he played with a flair (and what a flair it was), but he lacked the focused, rich tone that I've come to associate with great trumpet players (Herseth comes to mind here).

The current reviewed recording, on the other hand, is quite a piece of gem. Even though I have never heard of Hardenberger before (you trumpet players out there please excuse my ignorance), he delivers precisely what I am looking for. Hardenberger has the centered tone that most trumpeters would envy, yet he lacked none of the technical virtuosity needed for the music. His vibrato is light and very classical (as opposed to the wider jazz vibrato). On top of all that, he shows much understanding and affinity for the various works on these two CDs.

All of this for the price of 1 CD. An excellent introduction to the core trumpet repertoire.

5 out of 5 stars Music-making of the First Rank..........2005-04-18

This album still delights after more than three decades. Arthur Grumiaux's brilliant tone and technical acumen are ideally suited to these concerti. These performances predate the advent of period-instrument interpretation that dominates current recordings of baroque music, but the present offerings cannot be said to be romanticized nor "mushy" versions. The tempi are uniformly well-judged and delivered with verve and momentum, in contrast to the many stodgy, plodding interpretations of these works. The double violin concerto also features great interplay and rapport between Grumiaux and Hermann Krebbers, an artist of the top order in his own right. The Largo movement is particularly fine, revealing Bach in a rarely-equalled lyrical dimension. The concerto for violin and oboe is also delightful, showcasing both soloists (the celebrated Heinz Holliger playing reed) in top form and in full sympathy. The sound throughout is rich and round but with Philips' characteristic clean and clear high-end sonics. I owned this album as an LP years ago, and have kept a slot for it on my CD rack for twenty years. There is a good reason why it still in the catalog. It is simply music of surpassing quality---and an exceptional value to boot...

4 out of 5 stars Here it is.......2001-04-14

There isn't anything extraordinary to say about this set of Bach violin concertos. For what they are, classicized performances, they are fine in tempi and polished elegance. Nothing dazzles about it. However, the orchestral sound is rich, and Grumiaux, as usual, sings with his violin playing. As a typically interpretated performance, this recording is a fine disc.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Musical!.......2001-04-08

I was wonderfully surprised to have been able to locate this recording on CD format - it's incredibly musical, delicate, strong and melodic! Highly recommended!

3 out of 5 stars Bland.......2001-04-05

Having recently been disappointed by a recently-purchased CD of Bach violin sonatas by the same peformer, I was interested to read the reviews of and listen to some samples from this CD. I have to agree with the first reviewer's opinion that the interest and excitement of these pieces is lost in these performances. The second movement of BWV 1041, in particular, is one of the most sublime compositions I have heard. It should sound strong and vibrant, driven by the basso ostinato. Here, it sounds romantically vague and mushy.

Using original style instruments and smaller numbers of instruments helps. The benchmark recording for me is an old vinyl LP I own which was produced on the Das Alte Werke label.

3 out of 5 stars Could be better.......2000-11-17

As a violinist, I am currently working on the Bach A minor. I got this CD hoping that it would help me out a bit. Well, I was very disappointed. The expression and interpretation is bland, and though I know this is a wonderful concerto, I wouldn't have guessed it from this recording.

Radu Lupu and Murray Perahia should have recorded all of Mozart's piano music for four hands, which includes several neglected masterpieces. This disc reflects their ideal partnership, two artists of great sensitivity collaborating in performances that feature constant interplay of parts, alertness to each other's work, and superb playing as individuals. The Concerto for Two Pianos ripples along without a care in the world, just as it should, and the English Chamber Orchestra doesn't seem to care that nobody is conducting it. The pieces without orchestra are a bit less significant (as is the Concerto for Three Pianos), but the playing is so beautiful you won't care. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars Another great performance.......2007-05-09

Fabulous music performed by fabulous musicians. Mozart is one of my favorite composers. His music is genius. And Muray Perahia and Radu Lupu are two of the greatest pianists of our time.

5 out of 5 stars Great Mozart.......2005-11-20

This is a very good recording of these pieces. Lupu and Perahia take Mozart seriously and play with energy and lyrical power. The chamber orchestra fits very well into the picture. This is a safe bet for these wonderful pieces.

5 out of 5 stars Mozart: Music for 2 and 3 Pianos.......2004-11-04

Wow...this is a wondeful recording, plain and simple.

If you haven't listened to the Fanatsia in F minor, originally for mechanical organ, then this is the recording to commence doing so with. This is a fantasic rendition of this piece, full of the darkness that must have pervaded Mozart's final years.

The finale of the E-flat Concerto K365 is also a one-of-a-kind showpiece with wonderful dialogue between the 2 pianos.

Highly recommend this recording as the very best available of the pieces it contains.

5 out of 5 stars Sheer piano lust!.......2002-10-16

This is one of my all time favorite piano works. I have several different versions of K365 and this seems the best combination of punch/musicality/flow. Fantasia K608 is a masterpiece on its own and probably a one of a kind interpretation since it was originally written for the organ, then re-writeen (not by Mozart) for 2 pianos, and last edited by Perahia and Lupu for its final form.
Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Essential Mozart.......2001-04-01

As a reviewer on another piece noted, the modern world seems bent on presenting Mozart as the wunderkind (Tom Hulce playing him like a Martin Short character from SCTV in 'Amadeus' may have had *something* to do with it ). Anyway, this was the disc that opened my mind up to another view of Mozart. I wouldn't call it masculine, but rather, deep, brooding, emotional and above all monstrously convincing: these pieces and the fantastic playing on this disc will make you realize that Mozart was not just a huge influence on Romantic music, but that he deserves more credit than he's gotten for the emergence of the deeply personal, individualistic styles of the 19th C.

The Fm Fantasia was a revelation worthy of the purchase price, if you haven't heard that piece.

The orchestra in this recording just sparkles in performance and in the clarity of the recording. The organ was apparently picked up by room microphones and lacks presence. The organ's level does not balance with the orchestra either. I've heard better vinyl LP recordings of some of this work, sound-wise and, in the case of the organist, performance-wise.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Baroque collection - everyone should have this!.......2002-06-18

This is a remarkable collection of Baroque music. I've heard a lot of Baroque music and I am very discriminating about performance and sound quality. This set is a winner and a fantastic bargain... Somehow they've managed to choose what is truly "best" from the period (for example I've always felt Bach's Brandenburg Concertos # 2, 3, 5 were the best of the six, while 1,4,6 were relatively weaker - and lo and behold this collection includes 2,3,and 5) while missing very little if anything that "should have" been here (of course a 10 or 12 CD collection would have been even better, but you have to stop somewhere).

The performances here are excellent, and the recording quality is very high. I disagree with the person who claims this isn't "audiophile quality", because I don't think it could get much better unless it were on another medium such as SACD. I didn't particularly notice coughing on Handel's "Messiah" but Messiah fans would likely prefer a complete performance of that particular work anyway (the excerpts from Messiah here are complete pieces, but this set doesn't include the entire 2 hour or whatever Messiah). These do not sound like "outtakes", what kind of a comment is that? Somebody worked very hard to put this collection together, and they did a fantastic job (and I have zero affiliation with this, I just feel the truth as I see it should be told).

Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" is presented in it's entirety (ok, it's not the entire Vivaldi Opus 8, but it is the entire Four Seasons as normally found on any "Four Seasons" CD). There are so many great works here, which a lot of people will recognize even if they didn't know the actual piece or composer (or even that it was from the Baroque era). There's even the Mouret fanfare made famous as the "Masterpiece Theater" theme music. Yes this is a great "introduction" at a great price - which might get people to explore Baroque music further, but it's also a fairly complete collection which will suit a lot of people as such (i.e. for everyone who appreciates most any type of music these works should be "essential", but also the 4 CD collection might be all that a casual listener would "need" from the Baroque era). I feel that most people would be thrilled with this set; about the only way it might have been better would be to include information about each piece and about the Baroque era in general (there is no "text" at all with this set).

2 out of 5 stars Entry level baroque.......2001-01-11

Nice cheap way to get into Baroque music. Unfortunately it's not the best recording you can get but it should be adequate enough for a non-audiophile. I've been unable to bring myself to listening to it again since I noticed that someone coughs in the background (very noticeably) during Handel's Messiah. Wonder if this is an outtakes CD.

5 out of 5 stars Poulenc Performed with Zest and Drama.......2006-03-25

Francis Poulenc (1899 - 1963) enjoys an audience for his works for the stage and for the solo piano but his grander works are usually reserved for special 'theme events' by our orchestras. This recording repairs that omission by offering three disparate works for solo instrument and orchestra. And the performances are first rate!

Pascal Roge delivers the 'Piano Concerto in C sharp minor' with all the ping and tongue in cheek fun so identified with Poulenc's music. He is joined by Charles Dutoit conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra of London in a collaborative event that respects the surging melodic statements so often missing in Poulenc's concerto performances. Much the same can be said for the less often performed 'Concerto for 2 pianos & orchestra in D minor', a brief but stunning work here played by Pascal Roge and Sylviane Deferne.

The dramatic and showy 'Concerto for organ, strings & timpani in G minor' is a given a grand performance by Peter Hurford with Dutoit and the Philharmonia Orchestra of London recorded in St. Albans Cathedral with all the ambient sound the work requires. It is a beautifully realized climax to this very fine CD. Recommended. Grady Harp, March 06
