Cost-conscious classics for the frugal consumer!.......2005-05-27

Wanna start with a "grab-bag" of familiar classical themes? Then, this box set is for you. Chocked full of selections that are known by the novice, as well as the experienced, "Piano by Candlelight Favorites" is a very good beginning set.

With the seemingly unfortunate demise of classical labels in the music industry, it is hoped that such compilations as this one might cause an upheaval in interest in the much-respected musical genre.

And with the dollar buying less than it did in the past, this presentation offers much value for the buck.

A philistine writes..........2004-12-27

Famously, this piece caused a riot when it was first performed in Paris in April 1914. "Brutal" and "Savage" are words I believe are often used when describing it, and frankly, I was expecting to be driven almost insane when I listened to it. I mean, how could be a work that's said to have foreshadowed the carnage of World War One have anything less than a devestating effect on your soul?

Well, don't believe the hype. I'm still here and standing. Phrew! As far as the performances on this particular disc are concerned, well, I'm a product of the American educational system. You think I have any clue?

3 stars for classical buffs, 5 for beginners!.......2002-12-08

I bought this collection several years when I was just starting out my classical collection and have since replaced a good portion of the pieces with more complete works.

Connoisseurs probably won't find much here: the performances are mostly quite good, but not inspiring.

For beginners, though, interested in getting started in the wonderful world of classical music, this is a great value: an amazing range of music for just a terrific price. Recommended.

Customer Reviews:

Great Collection.......2006-04-09

This set of CDs is perfect for beginners to classical music since it takes you through the years of classical music from earliest to the most recent so you can hear how the music gradually changes over time. They go in order by the eras Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern so you can get a feel for what all of them were like, and style of each of them. They have some of the greatest hits of classical music by the greatest composers of classical music on this set. I got this set when I first got into classical music but I still listen to these CDs now because the performances are very enjoyable and the sound quality is great. This set of CDs is a must have for any classical collection.

Gotta have it!.......2001-05-21

This set of CD's is a must have.

You don't know what you're missing if you don't have these CDs in your collection. I'm a hip hop and R & B guy myself, but this collection gives me balance. You don't know music or really understand its power unless you hear and absorb the classics.

Album Description

The Ballet "Sacre du Printemps" consists of two parts. The first presents the scene of nature's awakening in spring. The second depicts the somber scene of a human sacrifice. The plot of "Jeu de Cartes" is a game of poker during which the nimble and smart Joker often unexpectedly destroys the natural course of the game.

terrific, but a bit sounding like made of iron .......2005-11-29

This recording is terrific. I happen to like vintage-records from Russia a lot. Next to that adoration, I consider that recording good. The sound sometimes confronts you like it is made of iron. The music by Stravinsky is well played, but is not very easy or easy in access. It is motre than just good old work.

All Under One Roof: The Ultimate Abbado Sampler.......2006-01-30

This 25-CD set is intended to commemorate the then-25-year-long working relationship between Deutsche Grammophon and Claudio Abbado. The preface to each of the CD booklets is the same for all 25 CDs: a letter from Dr. Andreas Holschneider, president of DG, to Claudio. It's a Dear Claudio letter that explains the impetus behind, and structure of, this celebratory issue, and what it's intended to document: a history going back to 1967. Holschneider's biggest problem was a simple one: out of over 150 recordings Abbado had completed, less than one-sixth could appear in this box set.

Of course, monster box sets are now in vogue: 171 CDs for the Complete Mozart Edition on Brilliant Classics; also 171 CDs for the Hanssler Complete Bach Edition. DG therefore COULD have offered the whole thing had they been so inclined, but the market for a 25-CD set wasn't that large to begin with. Remember that there is a LOT of music on 25 CDs. It may be dwarfed by the Bach and Mozart monster boxes (not to mention the Complete Beethoven Edition by DG itself, which runs to 87 CDs), but it is commensurate in size to the complete works of several major composers: William Walton in a 23-CD boxset, Prokofiev in a 24-CD boxset, and Bartok in a 29-CD boxset.

So, aside from made-over packaging and CD booklets with an integrated "look," what does this quasi-vanity project give us that we don't get from the original releases? Re-mastering isn't explicitly credited anywhere in this set, and a comparison of several CDs in this box set with the original releases doesn't yield any noticeable differences to my ear. One might have hoped that earlier analog cuts might have been better de-hissed and cleaned up, for example, but such processing is not evident. So, we must treat this for what is: a rare, out-of-print collection of The Best of Abbado's First 25 Years. It functions something like DG's Complete Beethoven Edition, which is also out-of-print -- namely, it becomes something that gains collector status with time.

There is variety aplenty in this boxset (which Holschneider intended to achieve). Enough Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, and Schubert to please less adventurous ears, but some Berg and Stravinsky to push the envelope a bit. Quite a few orchestras are heard here: Chicago, London Symphony, Vienna Phil, Berlin, Boston, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, etc. Some are live performances (e.g., the Eroica with the Vienna Philharmonic). There is a mix of analog and digital recordings, pretty much determined by recording date. But as a "sampler," you get nothing complete in any mini-genre. Why program the Brahms 2nd symphony, but not the 1st or 4th? Why program 2 CDs of Mozart piano concertos, but not a single Mozart symphony? We get symphonies 3,5,6, and 7 of Beethoven's, but no 9th. Why didn't DG configure this set to include all 9 Beethoven symponies and all 4 Brahms symponies, plus Mozart's symphonies 35-41? Wouldn't the appeal of this collection have quadrupled knowing you were getting some sequences of major works without gaping holes?

Well, the simple reason this didn't happen is because DG President Andreas Holschneider has a Ph.D., and knows better than folks like us on how to market Abbado and program a box set. On the other hand, this box set isn't in print anymore. Maybe that Ph.D. didn't come in all that handy after all.

The performances are 5 stars, the recordings would have been awarded 5 stars IF we were living in the year the recording was done. But nowadays, we have a right to expect better sound in the re-mastering process. What has been programmed is played with intensity and integrity, and always with a deft hand, but the program contents leave something to be desired (as noted above). If the intent is to leave you "wanting more," I suppose this sampler achieves that. This principle obviously works in the case of "opera highlights" from Carmen and Aida. But others might simpy be annoyed at the "set list."

If you simply like Claudio's work (as do I), grab this set. You'll find Claudio at his best here, insofar as his first quarter-century with DG is concerned. On the other hand, he's doing some amazing stuff the last several years, with an exceptionally strong, new Mahler cycle coming into view album by album.
