Rewarding Rimsky-Korsakov,
By
This review is from: Rimsky-Korsakov: Orchestral Favorites (Audio CD)
This is one of my favorite CDs in the latest installment of EMI's Seraphim budget-line series. "Rimsky-Korsakov: Orchestral Favorites" collects just what it says, some of the composer's best-known and most-loved shorter works for orchestra, including the Tsar Sultan and Golden Cockerel Suites, Russian Easter Overture and Capriccio Espagnol. Though the best part about this disc for a vintage stereo fan like myself is classic performances with the Philharmonia Orchestra by some of the lesser-known, but nonetheless great, conductors of the 20th Century -- Paul Kletzki, Andre Cluytens, Lovro von Matacic and Efrem Kurtz. All of this material has been available on CD previously, and in fact the only piece I don't have on two different products is the Matacic Russian Easter Overture performance. But those of you who started collecting classical late (like me) and haven't had a chance to purchase titles in the "Artist Profile" series, will truly benefit from the current availability of these magnificent recordings. And those of you who could care less about what I just said and were just looking for a second Rimsky-Korsakov disc because you are ready to move-on from your heavily played copy of Scheherazade, you've happened upon a real gem.

Outstanding Choice,
By Franklin Thompson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rimsky-Korsakov: Orchestral Favorites (Audio CD)
I heartily concur with reviewer Richman's assessment of this re-release on the Seraphim label. Unlike him, I am a long-time collector who is just trying to fill a few "holes" in my music library without breaking the bank. Bingo! This recording was a perfect choice for me. Nice sound, good performances, all you could ask for.

This review is from: Rimsky-Korsakov: Orchestral Favorites (Audio CD)
This is an essential CD for Rimsky-Korsakov works. Despite the old recording, the sound is good, and it joins on the CD pieces like the Great Russian Easter and the Tzar Saltan suite that are two pearls of this composer. A very good bargain
