Music reviews of The 25 Thunderous Classics

Music Review: This thing kills!
Rating: 5 Stars

OK, this is not a great musical experience, but a hodgepodge of the loud, vigorous and stirring parts. For what it is, and purports to be, it deserves 5 stars.

If nothing else, it has the best cannon fusillade of any 1812 overture I have heard. It also includes some of the best versions ever of several compositions, such as Kunzel's rendition of the Fucik favorite, Entry of the Gladiators.

MP3 is execrable for all the nuances and subtleties of most classical music, but this album survives the ravages of MP3 quite well, and is on my Ipod playlist.

I also keep it in the car to avoid drowsiness. It is better than bellowing An die Freude with the windows down. And gets fewer stares.

For the most part, the performers are well known, world class artists, and those who are not still do a great job.

I agree with all who mention the drawback of not hearing the whole composition, but for the purposes I mentioned, it serves quite well. And, after all, everybody who enjoys the excerpt from, say, Mahler's Titan might find the whole thing a little less interesting.
