    5 out of 5 stars An excellent Bernstein anthology with a few unusual choices.......2005-09-21

    Bernstein basically spent half his recording life at Clumbia, now Sony, and the other half at DG. Although the composer's Columbia years produced his best work as conductor of his own music, DG has triumphed with a greatest hits'greatest bits anthology. Everything on here has been well chosen and paced in such a way that you can listen form beginning to end and feel that you've been enriched.

    4 out of 5 stars A good sampling of Bernstein.......1998-12-27

    This 2 CD set includes a wide variety of Bernstein music, many or all taken from other CDs and put together for a Ballet Revue by John Neumeier. You will be taken from Maestro Bernstein's light-hearted work to the more serious compositions. Truly a "full Bernstein" collection although one could wish for something from Chichester Psalms. There are so many wonderful numbers included on this 2 CD set, that I would recommend it with one major caution. I felt that the rendition of "A Simple Song" by Cheryl Studer was abrasive and not at all like the beautiful song that it should be. Still, I had not heard Bernstein's "Anniversaries" (works for piano played by Sebastian Knauer, apparently written for various people... alas, the notes don't fill me in on these!) and they are little gems, the musical theater selections were pure Bernstein (and showed a bit of where Sondheim came from). Judy Blazer is a delight, Roberta Alexander sounds lovely, and Gidon Kremer, performing in the Serenade after Plato's Symposium was quite enjoyable. My only big disappointment aside from the Studer song is that there is no video (to my knowledge) of this dance performance.

    4 out of 5 stars Technically demanding.......2005-01-21

    The sixth volume of “Romantic Piano Favourites” was recorded in spring and summer of 1988 and is able to escape the censure to which some of its predecessor volumes were subject. Perhaps it is because there are, with the exception of Grieg’s “Erotik” (also reasonably done), no really slow pieces on this disc that Balázs Szokolay is able to shine: he obviously has a penchant for the technically demanding fast pieces, and these come over here convincingly. Haydn, Schumann, Schubert, Raff, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninov, Albéniz, Schulz-Evler … all make a good impression. Chopin’s “Barcarolle” is perhaps not quite up to the standard of the other interpretations, but this is more than compensated by the Bartók; Szokolay seems to have a particular affinity for his countryman. Schulz-Evler’s Concert Arabesque is a series of incredibly ornate variations on themes from the younger Johann Strauss’s “Blue Danube” and makes for eleven minutes of quite fascinating listening, although I suspect that this is something of a nineteenth-century crossover piece.

    The disc was recorded, like the others in the series, at Budapest’s renowned Italian Institute, and the sound is warm without being over-intimate, altogether quite enjoyable.
