Customer Reviews:
Great Instrumental Carmen.......2005-09-06
How can you go wrong with this? The NY Philharmonic and Leonard Bernstein....perfect together.
Best of Carmen.......2005-03-14
I definitely prefer Carmen performed by only the orchestra (i.e., no singing), so looked specifically for that when deciding what to purchase. This is an excellent price for an excellent recording. Bernstein knew what he was doing! I actually lost this CD awhile ago, and liked it so much I went out to replace it with the exact same version. If you too like Carmen without the singing, I would highly recommend this album.
A gem suprisingly discovered!.......2005-01-11
What fantastic young composer! Surprizingly, he is not more popular than Mozart or other famous composers. The entire CD is filled with songs I've loved for decades and never realized it was Bizet who composed! My absolute favorites are track #11 Carmen Suite: Changing of Guards, and #12 Carmen Suite No. 2: Danse boheme. It's a tremendous recording for a small price. Every song in the CD is a hit!!
what the heck!?!.......2004-03-08
okay..so it may be leonard bernstein but what kind of a recording is this? First of all tempos are way off(too slow for Toreador) and trumpets are terrible(childrens chorus)
The only goo thing was the sax in L'Arlessiane. It would be a shame for bizet too have to listen to his music mutiated this way. Plus, this is one of Bernsteins earlier recordings. If you want good Bizet go for someone else.
Bizet fan.......2000-02-17
I loved this cd for many reasons. It is a very powerful and moving recording that I feel truely unleashes the energy and depth of the movements. I am in an orchestra, and when we played this piece, I felt like I never had before about my insturment. It is a true gem that I am glad to suggest!

Customer Reviews:
CD set is misnamed.......2007-06-08
They should have titled this "classical music for people who love classical music" because most of the selections are typical classical music. The title suggests it would be lively selections of "light classical" music that is more upbeat, i.e. Sabre Dance, etc. I really don't hate classical music at all and have many classical CDs in my collection but I really wanted to hear more exciting selections. I won't be purchasing any more of this set but if you like traditional classical music these are good one.
Do not Buy.......2007-02-21
I do know it says classical music for people who hate it, but serioulsly you would have better luck never listening to classical music again. The recordings are awfull and do not do justice to any of the composers. Buy something else.
Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music.......2007-01-30
We love this set of CD's. I just got a new copy because my kids keeping taking our first copy with them so that they can listen at work or in their bedrooms but then I can never find them.
Seek better versions.......2006-12-09
If you are fairly new to classical purchases then compilation CD's can be useful for deciding what to buy next. Sometimes you only need a small taste of a piece to inspire you to buy a release with the whole performance on. The problem with this compilation however is that most of the versions are poor in performance or recording quality (or both) when compared to the best versions and the fact that the conductors aren't even credited on the track listing made me suspect that this would be the case. One of my favorite classical pieces is Tchaikovsky's 1812 festival overture but if the first CD version I had heard had been the finale excerpt that is on this compilation I may not have gone on to buy the whole thing. Luckily I heard Adrian Leaper's version first and Adrian's version is rather good.
My classical CD buying experience is limited to only a couple of dozen discs but I have found that the Naxos and Deutshe Grammophon releases are fairly safe. Avoid any release which does not name the conductors on the track listing or sleeve notes.
It Is What It Is.......2006-10-27
It's fitting that this page is fraught with the same kind of silly snobbery that turns people off from classical music (and necessitates collections like this) in the first place.
Any criticism of this compilation, which focuses on the quality of the performances or the fact that many tracks are excerpts, misses the point. This is not a collection for people who consider such things, nor does it purport to be. The idea is to package as many ultra-famous classical melodies as possible in one affordable collection and market it to people who have never purchased a classical recording. As such, top-tier performances are likely too expensive to be sold so cheaply and are unnecessary anyway. Those of us who already know and love a piece or two can forgive the compilers the inclusion of sub-par recordings, when we are exposed to so many other beautiful pieces for the first time.
It probably comes as a shock for some to hear that most people are not familiar with these classics. We may hear snippets on TV or movies, but are left with no idea as to the composer or historical context. With that in mind, it is extremely intimidating to begin buying classical. I suppose those among us, who so thoroughly dismissed the very notion of a boxed set like this, would have us begin by buying full albums by reputable interpreters. Surprisingly enough though, the majority of people would consider that a tad cost-prohibitive.
To conclude, this is a STARTER collection. It will either affirm a listener's feelings about classical music or lead to an interest in purchasing better recordings. Ideally, I suppose the interpretations would be better, but, for reasons mentioned above, that just isn't in the cards for a collection of this nature. If you're familiar with 50 different recordings of "The Ring" series, or have season tickets to the New York Philharmonic, then this probably isn't for you. For us cretins with limited foreknowledge of classical music though, it serves as a succinct introduction with little to complain about.

Customer Reviews:
Highlights from Carmen and much more of Bizet.......2001-08-05
It is hard to believe that when Georges Bizet's opera "Carmen" opened in 1875 audiences received it indifferently. Bizet was innovative in that he replaced artificial plots and acting in operas with more realistic representations of the human condition (comparable to what Gustave Flaubert did in literature with "Madame Bovary"). Bizet's masterpiece is represented by the first thirteen tracks on this album, so you might wonder why not just go pick up the entire opera and leave it at that? Because Bizet actually did go on and write some other works, the best of which are included in this collection. This CD also includes a couple of songs from "The Pearl Fishers," sung by Richard Tucker and Beverly Sills, and the "L'Arlesienne Suite No. 1. If this CD included the Farandole from "L'Arlesienne Suite No. 2," it would be prefect. But one of the impressive things about this Greatest Hits collection is that all those tracks from "Carmen" come from several different productions. So you have Bernstein, Stokowski and Ormandy conducting, and Jose Carreras, Rise Stevens and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing.

Good job.......2005-08-26
I remember when I was little, I had this cd, but i lost it. I bought a similiar type of one through TIme Life and decided to try the Classical Thunder one. I have like it so far.
Masterful!.......2005-06-15
This two CD set is magnificent. I got the set in the early 1990's when it was advertised on television, along with other releases in Time Life's set. I was struck by the interpretations of the conductors. Whenever I hear these pieces now, I judge them against this recording. Amazing selection as well. There are staples of orchestra repetoire, like Beethoven symphonies, but also gems that are not heard very often, like the Rimsky-Korsakov "Procession of the Nobles." A very impressive recording.
Great CD of Classical music's power pieces!.......2005-06-07
I got this CD when I was around 16 because I loved a lot of the music on this double CD set. As a student pursuing a Music Education major, it has been a great asset for my musically, and just great for listening to. I will drive on short trips and take this with me and blast it louder than the guy in the next car blasting rap music. I also take it skiing as it sets a great tempo down the mountain. This is a great CD for anyone that loves music.

Amazing! The reason I decided to become a music major!.......2002-11-18
This is one of the most inspirational CD's I have ever listened to. Not only is the playing perfect, the choice in music for the CD is perfect. It provides the listener with several different styles, and yet many similar styles. The group plays the traditional Russian pieces with flair and great musicianship, such as the Stravinsky and the Shostakovich. The main reason that I enjoy this CD is that each player is performing their best for this album. Each player sounds even more amazing than they usually do. I especially enjoy when Sam takes the tuba solo from Russian Sailors' Dance down an octave. Each performer from this group is one of the best in the world on their respective instruments. In conclusion, all I can say is that this CD is amazing.
Utterly Necessary.......2000-10-24
This was the first brass quintet cd I ever purchased, and it has been by far the best. This group's sound is seriously unparalleled by any other quintet, including Canadian Brass. The blend and unity of style is so perfect that one is encompassed by the music, hearing each part individually and as part of the whole at the same time. Playing arrangements of excellent orchestral music, the Empire Brass Quintet truly demonstrates its virtuosity.

Customer Reviews:
Interesting Mix, but not for serious classical music listeners .......2005-08-08
Bach, Vivaldi, and Mozart are all too well known, but less known musics are blended well into this CD. That's why I bought this CD. I think this is a good CD to familiarlize myself to flute pieces, but as a serious classical music listener it may come in short as more than half of pieces in this CD are something too famous and were listened so many times. This CD can be used to know what I like and then move forward from there. I am the type of listener who listen to the entire Carmen of Bizet instead of listening to only one part or two of it. If a listener is unfamiliar with clessical music, I think this is a good one to start.
a must have flute cd.......2001-07-23
this is a great flute cd. i enjoy the fact that the cd has many preformers rather than just one. Jean-Pierre Rampal, of course probably the most famouse flutist, and William Bennett, an amazing flutist who I was fortuante enough to hear in person, are both on this cd, as well as a few other great flutist. i especially enjoyed Siciliene, because i have never heard it played with flute and hard, and because i have played the piece myself.
even if you haven't heard of some of these songs it is wonderful to listen to them. i recomend this cd for flutiests of all levels.
takes you to another place and time!.......2000-08-25
This cd is by far the most beautiful that I have ever heard! It just takes you away to another place and time, far from your worries, very relaxing. I highly reccomend this to anyone who loves beautiful music!

Leopold Stokowski was a marvel, plain and simple. He retained his interpretive powers undiminished until well into his 90s--in fact, he died with several projects still on the boards. Among his classic later recordings were a series of projects for Sony, including Sibelius's First, Brahms's Second, and this sterling collection of Bizet suites. There have been entire books written about Stokowski's ability to get his characteristic "sound" from just about any orchestra, as well as his interest in recording technique, and all of these qualities come together here in performances that are simply the last word in brilliance and vitality. Extraordinary. --David Hurwitz
Customer Reviews:
Definitive, But One Big Flaw.......2006-06-03
Probably one of the definitive recordings of the Carmen Suites. Full of energy and excitement, well read, and well played! Wonderful sonics, too.
The flaw: The opening cymbal crash in Suite No. 1 is slightly cut off on my CD. Unforgiveable if all CDs share this flaw. Otherwise, great!
I disagree with another reviewer about the L'Arlsienne Suites -- I found them excellent and I have no problem with their tempi.
excellent.......2003-11-04
This is a must have for "Carmen", "L'Arlesienne" or Stokowski admirers.
As you know, this CD contains Bizet's most famous works and performances are excellent.
This record (of course, originally LP) was issued for celebrate that, Stokowski's 95th birthday and his 60th year in recording industry. And this is his one of the last recordings.
Carmen Suites are excellent and the performance of L'Arlesienne is very good, but I recommend one more recording of this work: Sir Thomas Beecham's recording with his Royal PO, released on EMI)...
Highly recommended
You have to make some assumptions here.......2000-07-12
When this first came out on LP, I thought: what is Stoky up to NOW?
In some ways I was pleasantly surprised because we get some of the best playing this ad hoc recording orchestra (not among the best) was able to muster.
Stoky's selection from Carmen is put together more-or-less to follow the opera's action. Of course, he can't resist some perverse reorchestration and the balances are out of whack here and there, but it's eminently listenable.
The L'Arlesienne music is more problematic for him. I find some of the tempi slack, the string/wind blend kind of viscous and gluey, the bass line overdone and a few odd little things disappear here and there. It's beautiful stuff if you make the assumptions Stoky makes.
In all this material, I would encourage everyone to listen to Paul Paray on Mercury for readings of absolute integrity, great drama, eloquent musicianship in lovely sound...and the Detroit Symphony plays rings around Stoky's outfit. Stoky might be OK to have for supplementary listening, but Paray is far more convincing from a purely musical standpoint.
Which is, after all, why you buy music in general and Bizet in particular, isn't it?
This is a great choice........1999-12-09
I don't know any other recordings of this particular music, so I base my opinions on what I hear. The music is incredible, the interpretation is as well, and the CD as a whole pleases. I've heard a lot about Leopold Stokowski. One thing I heard was that this was one of his greatest last recordings.
