 A Wealth Of Memorable Classics November 15, 2003
21 out of 22 found this review helpful
This CD is a steal and yet it has a wealth of memorable classical pieces put together in one CD. What an inexpensive way to listen and appreciate 25 masterpieces by the world's greatest composers from Baroque Era to Modern Era (Franz Liszt, Claude Debussy, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Frederyk Chopin, Peter Tchaikovsky, Franz Schubert, Sergei Rachmaninoff and George Gershwin, to name a few), as interpreted by various talented pianists. Piano, for me, is the ultimate musical instrument. It brings us range of emotions from blissful, sentimental and passionate to melancholy, blue and nostalgic.
One of my personal favorites is the finale track, "Rhapsody In Blue." It's awesome, spellbinding and I just love it! It's a masterpiece by one of the world-class composers I admire, the unforgettable Mr. George Gershwin. Two tracks were my pieces, track # 5 "Dvorak: Humoresque No. 7" and track # 11 "Rubinstein: Melody In F."
I would highlight my top favorites such as "Liszt: Liebestraum" (this was one my sister's pieces and she plays this sublimely!), "Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 In B Flat Minor," "Debussy: Reverie," "Chopin: Etude In E Op. 10," "Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody On A Theme By Paganini," "Mozart: Sonata No. 11 Rondo Alla Turca," "Chopin: Waltz in D Flat - Minute Waltz," and last but not least, "Debussy: Clair De Lune."
I highly recommend this CD to all classical music enthusiasts' listening pleasure. You'll enjoy it as much as I do!

This CD is one of my favorites because it has a variety of classical songs played on my favorite instrument--the piano. If you enjoy classical music, you will like this CD. The best song on the CD is the finale--Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin. This song is played by an orchestra with the piano featured. This CD may not have famous artists on the cover, but it is truly an experience you don't want to miss.
