5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the Ormandy's best recordings,
By A Customer
This review is from: Strauss: Orchestral Music from Stage Works (Audio CD)
This CD is truely worthwhile to listen. I definetely recommend you to enjoy his Le Bourgeois gentilhomme. I believe the performance is the best of all stereo recordings of this work. This recording proves that Ormandy was one of the best conductors in the 20th. century.

The Lighter side of Richard Strauss,

This review is from: Strauss: Orchestral Music from Stage Works (Audio CD)
I have recently discovered Sony's reissued "Essential Classics", and it is like reliving the golden age of stereo LPs. Many of the performances feature orchestras in their prime, such as Ormandy's Philadelphia and Szell's Cleveland. The Suite to "Der Rosenkavalier" was an early '60s LP favorite of mine; the arrangement includes all the important tunes of the Opera, and the lush strings of the Philadelphia were a consensus champion by all critics of the era. The digital remastering has enhanced what already was sumptuous sound, and Anshel Brusilow, Philly's concertmaster, contributes some gorgeous solo work. Add the budget price and over 68 minutes of music, and this disc is a bargain all around.
