5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful recordings with the composer conducting, February 21, 2000

By 

Kurt Anderson (Connecticut) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Leroy Anderson Collection (Audio CD)

This 2 CD set is a must for fans of the light hearted Pops composer Leroy Anderson. It features all of the stereo recordings that Anderson made of his music, except for his Christmas arrangements. Nobody could capture the whimsy and excitement of Leroy Anderson's music like the composer. 8 Anderson pieces are available only on this 2 CD set which has 47 diferent pieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the Anderson Favorites in One Place, April 10, 2001

By 

Daniel G. Berk (West Bloomfield, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Leroy Anderson Collection (Audio CD)

Here they are, all in one place, all the witty, amusing, melodic, delightful little pieces composed by Leroy Anderson. If you are fond of them, these CD's are a must. Even if you do not think you are a fan of Anderson's music, this collection is still a must, for in all probability you will find yourself saying, "Oh, I know that; I didn't know that that's where it came from." Well, that's where it did come from, along with many other very enjoyable light compositions, which make these CD's a great listening experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bugler's Holiday, December 24, 1999

By 

Gary B. Zizka, Sr. (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Leroy Anderson Collection (Audio CD)

I have been an avid admirer of Leroy Anderson for a long time. I have had the opportunity to play some of his works in the past. Bugler's Holiday and A Trumpeter's Lullaby have always been my favorites.
