Described as "Classic performances of his essential masterpieces," one could dispute both the performances and, to a lesser extent, the repertoire. Fine as it is, could one really call Rafael Orozco's performance of the "Piano Concerto No. 1" a classic -- or, loud as they are, could anyone say the tone poems "Voyevoda" or "The Storm" are essential? Indeed, of all the performances here, perhaps only Henryk Szeryng's "Violin Concerto" deserves to be described as a classic, while most of the rest are more in the acceptable to enjoyable range. Ashkenazy and the St. Petersburg Philharmonic's 1997 recording of the "1812 Overture," "Serenade for Strings," and "Romeo and Juliet Overture" is well-played and enthusiastically conducted; Bernard Haitink and the Concertgebouw's 1975 recording of the "Fifth Symphony" is superbly played and competently conducted; Charles Dutoit and the Montreal Orchestra's 1989 recording of the "Sixth Symphony" and the three big ballet suites are brilliantly played and colorfully conducted. Listeners looking for a quick fix for the gaping hole in their Russian Romantic Orchestral Music shelf might consider this five-disc set. Listeners with more time to spend might search out other performances that could more accurately be described as classics: Richter and Karajan's "Piano Concerto No. 1," Dorati and the Minneapolis' "1812 Overture," Mravinsky and the Leningrad's "Fifth" and "Sixth" symphonies, and so on. Recorded in stereo and digital by Decca and Philips, the sound here is distinctly different from performance to performance -- the Dutoit/Montreal recordings are more vibrant, for example, while the Haitink/Concertgebouw performances are more blended -- but they are all consistently excellent. ---by James Leonard

因为piano concerto no.1过来听了老柴的整张专辑,整体上磅礴华丽,工整得有点瞌睡,如果需要时刻不懈怠的神经,老柴,你值得拥有。

光芒万丈。但貌似部分曲子演绎的不是最好的版本。

最喜欢的还是Piano Concerto No.1和Violin Concerto in D major. 天鹅湖的旋律太耳熟能详了反而缺少了美

很好的浪漫主义俄国作曲家的古典启蒙,CD1的第一钢琴协奏曲和D大调小提琴协奏曲真的很好听
