-- now at half price! Great as Holiday Gifts. Two
CDs for the price of one!!
CHADWICK
José Serebrier and the Czech State Philharmonic, Brno
These celebrated HDCD recordings were greeted with critical raves
when first released. American Romantic George Chadwick wrote music
full of orchestral color and wide dynamic range. The Symphonic Sketches have long been
an audiophile favorite, but have been sorely in need of a new, top-quality
recording. Aphrodite, Tam O'Shanter, Melpomene and the other works
have equally appealing qualities.
" [Chadwick] is warmly recommended for fine rare repertoire and
typically sprung, lively sound with power and subtlety aplenty." --Rob
Barnett, Classical Music on the Web -MORE
