.Pno Sons 24/29 (Rm) City Travel Guides > Classical > Canadian from: Sony April 03, 2007 Once again, GG scores a big hit. I must admit, I'd hitherto always been a little put off by the mighty "HammerKlavier": it's a huge-boned warhorse and a caution. There's no doubt, it's one of the biggest most significant piano sonatas in the entire literature. But GG has made it approachable for me: I think it's because he diffuses the shocking dynamic changes of register and reduces the sharp contrast of tempi: it's like the cosmos will be when eventually it expands to reach a mean temperature and density of matter: bliss. >>See More Reviews & Details on Pno Sons 24/29 (Rm) |

.Brass In Berlin City Travel Guides > Classical > Canadian from: CBS January 01, 1984 This is by far the best fusion of two great brass sections ever recorded. This collection of 10-peice brass ensemble transcriptions combine the Canadian Brass and the brass section of the Berlin Philharmonic back in the eighties. Even if you're not crazy about Baroque/Renaissance counterpoint-style polychoral works, you wont even be thinking about the era the music is from. The Gabrielli selections demonstrate amazing interpretation, and the Albinoni Adagio is absolutely beautiful. The Pachelbel Cannon is the first track on the cd....and its the only arrangement of the cannon that I can still listen to. As overdone as the Cannon is today....(I saw a cd somewhere recently called "surfin' pachelbel" which really disturbed me....the cannon ...
