Unorthodox versions of classics,
This review is from: Concert in Rhythm Vol 1 (Audio CD)
I enjoyed this CD when I was in college but I bought it anew with some trepidation that it would seem dated more than 40 years after it was recorded. Fortunately, it's not. It still offers fresh versions of familiar classic tunes. There are people who probably will prefer the orthodox versions of these selections. Conniff does classics with a wordless chorus, a shuffle beat, and an occasional jazz riff. You will be more inspired to tap your toes than to conduct the orchestra. There's a loss of majesty in some pieces. I prefer a more conventional version of Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto. But this is great easy listening music -- and original enough to be interesting. My favorite is Rhapsody in Blue -- but then my favorite would always be Rhapsody in Blue.

The Original Studio Recording,
By JOHN R LEMBURG (Richardson, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Concert in Rhythm Vol 1 (Audio CD)
The [LIVE] comment at the title is not correct. This is the original studio recording. I know. I bought it in the late fifties when it came out, and have kept up with it for over 40 years. I listened to it about ten times just during the past week of 7th Aug 2000. An excellent performance!

One of the most outstanding recordings of all time!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Concert in Rhythm Vol 1 (Audio CD)
I have listened to this recording of Concert in Rhythm Vol I since it was first issued. I have listened to it for hundreds of times since 1958 -- over 40 years. I always play it in the Thanksgiving and Christmas times. It is a great masterpiece that many music lovers know nothing about. A wonderfully rare find. Conniff is excellent. Give it a try and you will love it.
