Telarc's Tchaikovsky: "1812" Overture is a landmark in American classical music recordings -- if it was not the first digitally recorded classical album in American history, it would place in perhaps the first five such albums. It was originally issued on LP, and the grooves on the record were so violently waggy and far apart that it was as much ...
At a mere 33 minutes and 36 seconds, this disc is anything but the "Sound Value" proclaimed by the sticker on the cover; you could buy a full-price CD of Gershwin works that utilized the entire capacity of the disc and come out ahead. But the performances inside have proven durable; recorded on LP in 1981, they've been repackaged, with each other ...
Telarc has likely done well for itself by releasing this 1992 recording of Falla's La vida breve (Life Is Short) in its budget-price line. The two most celebrated modern performances of the work -- the EMI disc with Victoria de los Angeles and Carlo Cossutta as star-crossed lovers Salud and Paco and the Deutsche Grammphon version with Teresa ...

Each symphony was composed and premiered in the United States, and each draws on the indiginous American music of ...
When turned up far enough, this super audio coupling of Lutoslawski and Bartók's Concertos for Orchestra by Paavo Järvi and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is mightily impressive. When turned up far enough, the sonic haze disappears and the music comes alive with ravishing strings, warm winds and bright brass, nearly palpable percussion and a ...
Unfortunately, though highly regarded, Respighi is a composer who is today remembered for very little of his comparatively large output. In keeping with that tradition, this disc features two of his most representative and often-heard works: the Pines of Rome and the Fountains of Rome. Fortunately, though, the album is rounded out by a gorgeous ...
Paavo Järvi may be the real thing, may be that all-too-rare real thing: the great conductor. His recordings over the past decade have always shown insight, strength, and innate musicality, and his later recordings with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for Telarc show a growing maturity of interpretive depth. But while Järvi's 2004 recording ...
