Music reviews of Time Life Presents: Classical Thunder
Music Review: Simply masterful...
Rating: 5 Stars
I bought this album years ago, and it continues to blow me away. Be aware that this album truly consists of classical thunder, without any charming little Baroque pieces. I love "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," but you won't find that sort of thing on this collection. Instead, this is song after song that is loud and boisterous. The selection is marvelous, including some of my personal favorites like Rossini's "William Tell Overture," Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man," Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture," Orff's "Carmina burana" and Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5." But many lesser known masterpieces are here, as well, like Rimsky-Korsakov's "Procession of the Nobles" and Tchaikovsky's "Marche slave." Regardless of the familiarity of this music, it's all good stuff. The performances are stellar, and I'd recommend this album to anyone to wants to hear some of most rambunctious music ever composed!!
