4 out of 5 stars Pretty Damn Good.......2004-07-06

I received as a gift the box set of all four Hooked On Classics CD's. As an avid fan of classical music, I was quite shocked to hear DRUMS in the background! I didn't really know what the Hooked On Classics series was, so I didn't know what to expect. As such, I eventually got used to the percussion, and found that I liked the fourth CD the best of all of them. The drums are more tolerable, and the recording quality is much improved over the other volumes. The playing is superb; on par with any legitimate recording made by any professional orchestra. The selections are diverse, and the arrangements are refreshing. HOC 4 was my link to many of the full-length versions of the excerpts featured, and I especially like the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th tracks (the 8th track is simply an extended version of the 1st, which makes it a much better rendition). The harpsichord playing in the 7th track is outstanding, as are the arrangements for this track. The climax will give you chills. All in all, an excellent album. I give it four stars only because as a die-hard purist, I don't suppose Bach and Vivaldi and Scarlatti would be too happy if they were to hear percussion along with their music. It would be interesting to see what the tracks would sound like without this.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD, specially the adagio........2004-01-28

I love this CD in particular, because it introduced me to various greatest hits of baroque. I used it to practice my music as a teenager. I recommed this to you, specially if you have kids, because the drum sounds, make it easier to listen to the new generations. I loved the Pachelbel, and the adagio part is Super Excellent.

2 out of 5 stars It's No Louis Clark & the Royal Philharmonic... But it's ok.......2003-12-07

Back in 81 when I got the original Hooked on Classics record as a gift (which I still have), I discovered the beauty and power of classical music in a different way. Now, classical music makes up 1/3 of my music library because of that compilation of classics (thanks to Louis Clark and the Royal Philharmonic).

So would I say this volume 4 has the same effect? I'd answer no, but I did like tracks 2 & 7.

2 out of 5 stars No So Great.......2003-10-29

Once again another pathetic attempt at recreating what Louis Clark did with the original Hooked on the Classics. He succeeded by getting many of us hooked to the classics...something this album probably can't and won't do.

5 out of 5 stars Vivaldi is more than the Four Seasons!.......2005-10-03

For many listeners, the Vivaldi revival has been limited to “The Four Seasons”, and the frequency with which excerpts from this evergreen are played on classical radio stations could lead one to the conclusion that Stravinsky was right when he pooh-poohed at Vivaldi’s creative achievement with the remark that he had written the same concerto 600 times! But of course there was and is much more to the “prete rosso” (red priest – Vivaldi’s nickname because of the color of his hair) than just “Le Quatro Stagione”, as many recordings from the “early music” scene testify: sacred and secular vocal music, concertos for all sorts of combinations of instruments and, last but not least, chamber music. It is this last neglected area that is here explored (on the first of two CDs dedicated to Vivaldi) by the Purcell Quartet, here consisting of Catherine Mackintosh and Elizabeth Wallfisch (baroque violin), Richard Boothby (baroque cello) and Robert Woolley (harpsichord).

The disc does not, as one might perhaps be tempted to surmise, contain trio sonatas but rather six sonatas for two violins with and without continuo (RV 70 is here played as a violin duet without the continuo instruments) plus one sonata (RV 29) for solo violin and continuo. This fascinating music tends to confirm the contemporary opinion about Vivaldi quoted in the booklet: “Although he played exceptionally difficult and animated pieces he lacked a pleasant and cantabile style.” There is a certain ruggedness in the quality of the music which may surprise those who have, until now, assumed that the “Four Seasons” were all Vivaldi was up to. It is perhaps also a little surprising to find that fast movements abound, whereas slower ones are quite few and far between.

The recording, made in 1989 at two sessions, one in London and the other at a church in the village of Orford, Suffolk, is a lovely, clear effort that, presupposing the right hifi-equipment, enables one to follow the playing of the two violins despite the fact that Ms. Mackintosh and Ms. Wallfisch were obviously standing quite near each other during the recording sessions (the continuo instruments being to the right). The playing is, to my ears at any rate, delightful, and the “intonation problems” detected by a well-known critic must be such as only an expert can recognize because I did not hear anything that really grated on the ear at all – rather the opposite, making it a bounden duty to listen to this disc over and over again at intervals and to rejoice in the “other Vivaldi”, the “prete rosso” as a master of chamber music for the violin.

      This box is the first in a two-part series of all of Vivaldi's published instrumental music. There were twelve volumes in all, numbered consecutively by his publisher as opera 1-12. None of this bears any relationship to the order of composition, or even the quality of the music, although most of it is first-rate Vivaldi. Rather, it reflects what the composer had on hand, and what the publisher thought would actually sell. The music consists of sonatas for solo instrument with continuo (harpsichord and cello) accompaniment and concertos--generally for violin and string orchestra. Included in this first box are the famous Concertos op. 3, subtitled "L'Estro Armonico," which Bach found to much to his liking (he arranged several for keyboard). All of the performances, by I Musici, are first rate. --David Hurwitz

      4 out of 5 stars They're not all the same........2007-05-26

      There are some who opine that Vivaldi's concerti and chamber works are simply variations on a theme, that he simply repeated himself. When Philips put out these discs, I "liked" Vivaldi but cannot say that I appreciated him. This ten disc set and its companion (Vol. 2) have changed that. I have loved listening to them over and over again. It is only when you listen to the many different works in succession that you begin to appreciate Vivaldi's genius. These are simply superb recordings.

      5 out of 5 stars Authority.......2000-02-17

      I Musici has long time been a famous interpereter on Vivaldi's music. And as this box set shows, they are definitly the authority. Vivaldi wrote hundereds of concertos, almost in some same style. But in between I Musici can distinguish the subtlety and delicacy of every piece. The result is a full and clear delination of Vivaldi's concerto, with correct style and atmosphere. The acoustics is a bit over-echoed, but is well-balanced. (After all I finished listening this 10-cd box, it took me over a month.)
