Bach: 3 Concertos for Flute

The composer’s own recordings are unsurpassed for their jazzy elan and sheer joy. The account with the New York Philharmonic, recorded in 1965, is wild, dramatic, and rhythmically charged, if a little rough around the edges. The young John Paul Bogart is absolutely sure of himself, just like the young David, and the playing of the New Yorkers is, as one would expect, perfectly idiomatic. – Ted Libbey, author of The NPR Guide to Building a Classical CD Collection, reviewing a previous release of this recording.

The world famous conductor offers a special reissue of his 1971 RCA double-LP.

"Karajan's RCA version, made in Vienna in 1964, owes much to Leontyne Price's seductive, smoky-toned Carmen... Robert Merrill sings with gloriously firm tone, while Mirella Freni is enchanting as Micaëla." -- The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs & DVDs [2003/4 edition, reviewing RCA 39495]

Horowitz Plays Chopin, Vol. 1

Vladimir Horowitz's concerts are the stuff of legends. An excellent showman in addition to being one of the greatest pianists of all time, he always had an answer to the applause and requests for encores. ENCORES is a collection of some of the pieces he prepared for such occasions.
These selections include some of more crowd-pleasing pieces from the classical repertoire, five of which were transcribed for piano by Horowitz himself. The inclusion of "Danse macabre" and "Wedding March and Variations" illustrate his popular approach to encores. His gift for dramatic flourish is particularly evident in the tracks recorded in concert. Horowitz had an uncanny knack for playing off of an audience while performing even the most technically complex pieces. Concluding with his transcription of John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever," this album is a tribute to one of the pianists--and showmen--of the century.
