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 ...
As popular performers of classical music's greatest hits, it seems strange that Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops had not recorded Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker until 2007. The recording is subtitled "Favorite Selections," implying that it's more than just the suite (parts of which they have done on Tchaikovsky and ballet samplers), but less than ...
The classic recording of Howard Hanson's Symphony No. 2 "Romantic" is the one conducted by Hanson himself on Mercury's Living Presence imprint in the early stereo era. Nice as that one is, it turns out that Erich Kunzel, the Cincinnati Pops, and Telarc, with its reputation for excellent sound, are the perfect team for undertaking a new recording ...
Arrrgh, Mateys! Captain Erich Kunzel has donned his tri-cornered hat and led that landlubbing Cincinnati Pops through some of the key atmospheric music known from seafaring film fare in Telarc's Masters and Commanders: Music from Seafaring Film Classics. As is expected from Telarc and Cincinnati, the sound is big -- wide-screen Technicolor big. In ...
Some folks might think Telarc's choice of title here, The Never Ending Waltz, is a concept chosen to advance a Romantic notion of waltz music, as titles as "Two Hearts in Three-Quarter Time" used to appeal back in the days when Reader's Digest was proliferating the world with its deluxe, LP box sets. Telarc, though, is smarter than that; they ...

Erich Kunzel's 2007 tribute to the great Russian composers is a brilliant showcase that captures the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra at its most vibrant, and this multi-channel super audio CD offers exceptionally colorful music with extraordinarily realistic sound. The selections are among the most popular in the orchestral repertoire and are therefore ...
