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 ...

For many fans of the piano, MSR Classics' Leonard Pennario: The Early Years 1950-1958 will represent the fulfillment of a wish held for a long, long time -- availability on CD of a pianist who once sold millions of records and was practically a household name in the United States at one time.

The 1956 recording by Jascha Heifetz, to whom that work was dedicated, dominates the field even though violinists Robert McDuffie and ...

The present album focuses on his works for violin ...
