5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic, April 13 2004
By 
Mr. Christopher W. Moth (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chicago Principal First Chair (Audio CD)
As a horn player, I must unobjectively confess that there is something quite magical about the work of Dale Clevenger and the CSO horn section from the 70s and 80s.

Perhaps the predigital recording technology during this time
left a little to the listeners imagination. Perhaps the virtuosity and freshness of the performances was something truly
historic. Maybe it is just me.

The Britten Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings and the Schumann Konzertstueck recordings are absolutely my hands down favorites. I cannot listen to these without getting excited about horn playing again. And, having them on CD is great.

The other performances on the CD are also excellent - so this recording is by no means just for horn players!

Now, if DG would just rerelease the wonderful Schumann Symphony set that the Konzertstueck was originally on!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good CD, Jun 24 2003
By 
"nicktuba" (East Haven, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chicago Principal First Chair (Audio CD)
The types of people who will buy the CD are the people who know exactly what they're getting, and what they're looking for (i.e., music performance students and aficionados of the CSO). For them, any introduction to this music is hardly necessary. Jacobs' rendition of the Vaughan-Williams tuba concerto has become the defacto standard interpretation of this influential composition, and this is the only place you'll hear his complete performance (all three movements of it). Herseth, Still and Clevenger are all top-notch as well. Good sound quality, even if the Still Mozart performance (which opens the first CD) sounds a little like Muzak. This is a wise investment so long as you don't pay retail-store prices for it. Get it on amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Shelf Performers of Top Shelf Pieces, April 30 2003
By 
rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Chicago Principal First Chair (Audio CD)
Principals of first class symphony are here gathered in some exciting solo work done with Chicago Symphony, in the years 1977-84.

Superb is each of them, but especially enjoy Sill's magnificent phraising of Mozart's Concerto in C Major and the Konzertruch in F Major by Schumann, as well as Willard Elliot's bassoon work of Mozart's B-Flat Major Concerto.

All of this is superb, and is truly a collector's item from one of the country's premier symphonies with their famour principals illustrated.
