5.0 out of 5 stars what a collaboration of musical excellence, oh what style!, June 7, 1999

By A Customer

I bought this CD a little over a year ago and it is still among my favorites. "Polvetsian Dances" is excellent no matter what your interests. The full version of "Pomp and Circumstance" as well as "The William Tell Overature" are wonderful; The "Procession of the Nobles" is victorious and galliant; the lyrical complexity of "Farandole" is haunting. This is a brilliant compilation of musical excellence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiedler's Finest, February 15, 2002

By	M. B Hazen "Madge Bruner Hazen" (Jacksonville, Fla.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had the opportunity of playing in an orchestra under Maestro Fiedler. He was a tough, no nonsense conductor who expected crisp, lyrical, and expressive. His musical interpretations of everything from Sabre Dance to Syncopated Clock; from Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 to his love for the Beatles, sets him as the ruler supreme in pop music. I only hope RCA will continue to reissue his LPs so a new generation knows the man and his music. Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Arthur at his best., March 20, 2002

By	W. Grandy (windsor, nova scotia Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Arthur Fiedler made listening to classical music fun. Try a listen to 'Pomp and Circumstance', one of my favourite pieces of classical music. 'William Tell Overture' shines as does most of the material on this album. Well recorded for it's day. Fiedler is missed.
