Music reviews of The Chicago Principal: First Chair Soloist Play Famous Concertos

Music Review: A 2-CD CONCERTO SET THAT STRIKES ALL THE RIGHT NOTES
Rating: 5 Stars

IN A NUTSHELL: PRINCIPAL CSO PLAYERS PERFORM A DIVERSE SELECTION OF CLASSICAL CONCERTOS

I thought I was looking for gifts, but actually I ended up purchasing some classical CD recordings for myself. Here's why I selected this set.

This is a 2-CD set that is dedicated to presenting the classical Concerto, 6 in fact, plus 1 serenade and the 'Bolero'. All told, over 139 minutes of excellent music.

ANSWERING THIS BUYER'S OBJECTIONS: HOW DO THE RECORDINGS SOUND

If you like the titles in this set, you know them, so I'll skip that, and discuss the recordings, which one can not know about without hearing them first. Frankly, although the thematic idea of having all the pieces performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, [CSO] and its most experienced soloists really strenghtened the appeal of this set to me, I was worried about the recordings having been recorded at different times between 1976-1984. How would they sound? Well, they sounded quite clear and crisp as one would expect a new release to sound, which is to say they sound good enough to purchase. After hearing the set that is what I did.
