Fantastic.......2006-06-30

First of all anything with Sir Solti's name on is worth purchasing. Solti has such a way with interpreting music! If you like overtures this CD is for you. It has the best overtures here in one collection. With orchestras like chicago, london, and the vienna you cannot argue with the performances. There are a few "weaker" ensembles, but when compared with the other ensembles there are few that will not sound weak. Again any work Solti has done is worth purchasing!

Famous Overtures.......2005-08-16

Did not like the way these musical pieces were "interpretted".
Did not like the tempo and in one piece one of the instruments played a portion which I would say they played a flat instead of a natural note. This is based on hearing the same pieces played by someone else, it's just my opinion.

Spectacular.......2003-09-25

Not only does it include some of the most famous overtures, but they are played in such an exciting style, full of life and passion. The Suppe overtures are superior and the Wagner overtures are wonderful as well. There is not a bad point to this recording - highly recommended!

Excellent.......2002-06-11

This is an excellent collection of overtures, especially of Von Suppe's overtures. Solti truly brings out life in these pieces.

The best Overture Album !.......2000-02-28

If you like overtures, here is the album. Never have these been performed so musically and with such excitement. The orchestras involved vary in their abilities, yet the Chicago, Vienna, and London Symphony perfom with style. Solti loves this music and it shows.

Customer Reviews:

Good selection, good sound.......2000-06-13

I tend to review musical recordings that absolutely bowl me over, so I decided to break with the usual and review a truly mediocre recording. Here it is. This recording is well worth getting for the Brahms and Mendelssohn, but the Egmont and Figaro Overtures are way too fast. The sound quality is generally okay, but not overwhelmingly crisp. It's a good sampler, and cheap, so in that way is a fine introduction to famous overtures. It is enjoyable and generally pleasant. So, with this review out of the way, I can go back to reviewing recordings that are truly top notch, as I like to do.
