Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Emile Pandolfi is an extraordinary pianist and engaging performer. His passion for the piano is strikingly evident when he shares his feelings about performing and recording. "I always loved to practice, and I never really considered doing anything but playing the piano."

Emile is also the ultimate entertainer. He wraps his audiences in a magical, musical experience by combining his sophisticated arrangements and skillful prestidigitation with easy humor and delightful rapport. He is a rare talent whose music and magic extend well beyond the limits of any keyboard. His combined skills and technique are reflected perfectly in the name of his personal recording label, MagicMusic.

Band members: Emile Pandolfi The Atlanta Pops Orchestra (track 9 only)

Product Description
In this album, his first in 2000, Mr. Pandolfi has put together an exquisite musical treat for fans old and new. Emile has taken these well-loved Gershwin pieces and given each one a new lease on life. I've Got Rhythm sparkles with playfulness and fun, They Can't Take That Away From Me stirs the heart. And, in a departure from his solo work, Mr. Pandolfi, accompanied by the Boston Pops Orchestra, does a masterful job of bringing new spirit to Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue. This album is a treasure!

This Classical collection is one of great length and breadth ,and is well worth purchasing ,if you want an abundance of music at a low price.The sound quality is decent,however it is not great.This set will not provide you with the crisp,clear sound quality of a RCA,CBS or other well known label,so some classical aficionados may not appreciate it much.It all depends on what your looking for ,I guess.

5 out of 5 stars Great collection for a great price.......2007-06-27

I did not expect much in buying this collection, but I was greatly surpeised. There were no reviews of the product at the time, and I bought the collection simply as a sampler of many great piano pieces. Most of the recordings are exquisite and of decent recording quality. This collection was well worth the price.

5 out of 5 stars 20 Fabulous Discs.......2007-06-08

I am surprised that this set has been out for 4 years and nobody reviewed it here yet. This is a lovely and occasionally amazing compilation. I was moved by many of the compositions. I really enhanced my classical music collection with this set. You have so many legends here to enjoy, from Bach to Brahms, Mozart to Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Gershwin, and more. If you love classical piano music and don't already have most of these works then this is a must buy for you. The price may go up, but I was fortunate to cash in on the $17.97 price. Quite a bargain for 20 fabulous discs.

Album Description

In this album, his first in 2000, Mr. Pandolfi has put together an exquisite musical treat for fans old and new. Emile has taken these well-loved Gershwin pieces and given each one a new lease on life. I've Got Rhythm sparkles with playfulness and fun, They Can't Take That Away From Me stirs the heart. And, in a departure from his solo work, Mr. Pandolfi, accompanied by the Boston Pops Orchestra, does a masterful job of bringing new spirit to Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue. This album is a treasure!

3 out of 5 stars Low recording volume spoils an otherwise good CD.......2006-06-29

This CD has been recorded at a very low level. If you want to hear that opening clarinet glissando in Rhapsody in Blue, be prepared to turn the volume WAAAAAY up. Great collection, but disappointing quality. Wish I'd bought something else.

5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Collection.......2000-12-29

Erich Kunzel conducts a wonderful recording of all the orchestral Gershwin one needs. There is a great performance of Rhapsody in Blue, and An American in Paris. They are conducted and played the way Gershwin would have liked. The three preludes are played fantastically, especially Walking the Dog played brilliantly by the clarinetist. I highly recommend this to any Gershwin fan who wants a complete and wonderful recording of this fine American music.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A 10-CD box of top Bernstein performances.......2005-11-13

This mid-price "Original Jacket" set of classic Bernstien performances--most culled from the Sixties and all iwth the NY Phil.--could be put in a time capsule with a note: "These are the recordings that made Leonard Bernstien famous." I grew up with all of them, including the televized lecture on the Eroica. I have owned these performance since college, and this set includes some first-choice readings, basically all the CDs devoted to Copland, Gershwin, Sibelius, Haydn, Beethoven, and Stravinsky.

Reviewers here never tire of propagating the canard that LB was chiefly famous for his Mahler. Actually, he had a broad repertoire that he excelled in (I don't particularly favor the Mahler Fifth in this set--the only disappointment in a field of excellence).

The only problem with this collection is the price. It would be hard to find a music lover who doesn't already own several of these CDs separately, so instead of paying $100 for a new copy, one should search eBay or the used department here at Amazon.

4 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Overview of Bernstein's Art.......2004-05-16

This collection not only provides a fascinating overview of the art of Leonard Bernstein, it also provides one with a fairly comprehensive view of what Lenny and the controversy surrounding his music making were all about.

All of the recordings here are with Bernstein conducting the New
York Philharmonic, which for my money, is by far the more interesting part of his career. As he got older, Lenny tended to go "molto" more often, take tempoes slower and, generally,
conduct with more self-indulgence than he did at this stage of things, when he was both more daring and more studious. The music contained here gives some idea of the range of Bernstein's
scope, and it is remarkable: from Haydn to Ives, from Beethoven
to Leonard Bernstein.

To start things off, there is one of the best performances of Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony on record, a wonderful document of just how excellent an orchestra the New York Philharmonic could be when they wanted to be. Lenny's reading of Beethoven's milestone score is both meticulous and passionate. You couldn't ask for anything more.

Disk 2 features two suites by the conductor as composer. The
suite from "On the Waterfront" fares better than the "Symphonic
Dances from West Side Story." It's hard to figure out why, but for some reason, the Philharmonic just refuses to swing through the overture ("Jet Song"), while handling all the other rythymic
intricacies in the score with incredible aplomb. The mambo section ("The Dance at the Gym") is particularly intense. Go figure! Just one more example of what a tempermental orchestra
the New York Philharmonic could be.

NOBODY ever conducted Aaron Copland's music better than Leonard
Bernstein. The "Billy the Kid" and "Rodeo" suites contained on Disk 3 provide excellent cases in point.

The Gershwin pieces on Disk 4 give testimony to Bernstein's legendary self-indulgence. Bernstein's rubato is broad and generous, tempoes fluctuate wildly from fast to slow and back again. Lenny seems more intent in showing off his own virtuousity (as both conductor and performer) than in getting to the heart of "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris." The
odd thing is, for all their quirks and eccentricities, these performances "work." Sometimes they are charming and endearing, at others, they are off-putting. It all depends on the mood you are in.

Disk 5 features two Haydn symphonies, # 82, "The Bear" and # 83, "The Hen." Critical opinion of Bernstein's Haydn is sharply divided: for some tastes, Lenny's Haydn is too dramatic, for others, Bernstein was an instinctively great interpreter of Haydn. Listen here and make your own call.

While Bernstein often gets the credit for generating popular interest in Mahler's music in America (a credit which rightfully belongs to Mitropoulos), there is no question that he "discovered" Charles Ives for most Americans. Bernstein's radio broadcast of Ives' Symphony # 2 was its world premiere, and this recording shows Ives in all his glory. Quirky, polytonal, cantankerous, and funny as hell. A really marvelous
performance.

Disk 7 is given to perhaps Bernstein's favorite composer, Gustav Mahler. Unfortunately, the piece chosen is Mahler's 7th, the "orphan child" of Mahler's symphonies. The so-called "Symphony of the Night" remains more interesting for intellectual and musicological reasons (it was a major influence on Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg) than for emotional ones.
Rarely performed, and even more rarely recorded, this remains one
of the best recordings of this piece out there. It may take many, many listenings before you "get it" and start to like it, but if Lenny can't do it for you, it's doubtful anybody can.

Disk 8 contains Bernstein's controversial recording of the Shostakovich 5th Symphony. This is as rousing and heroic a performance of this music as you will ever hear. Whether that's how Shostakovich intended for it to be played is another matter.
Bernstein takes the tempo of the final movement at exactly double
the pace Shostakovich indicated in the score. The subtle, fatalistic satire of the composer is replaced by the conductor's
preference for triumphant heroism. Still, once you've heard this
recording, all other Shostakovich 5th's pale by comparison.

Disk 9 contains what remain my favorite performances of the Sibelius 5th symphony and "Pohjola's Daughter." The latter is particularly remarkable in its conjuring of magic and mysticism.
It's worth the money for the whole set, just on the basis of the
"Eroica," the Copland, the Stravinsky and these Sibelius performances! No joke!

Finally, we reach Stravinsky's landmark "Le Sacre du Printemps."
Some 40 years after it was recorded, this remains a landmark recording of this piece. Bernstein's judicious and uncanny use
of dynamics and rubato in "The Adoration of the Earth" achieve
effects that will simply take your breath away. That's right,
in all the rythymic complexity of this piece, Lenny finds a way
to use rubato, while still holding everything together. It's spare, it's exact and it's jarring in its drama, and thoroughly
muciscal. Subsequent recordings of "Le Sacre" have replaced this one as my favorite, but this one is still unique, and very much worth having. A ROMANTIC "Rite of Spring"... who ever would have thunk it?

      1 out of 5 stars Embarrassingly Poor!.......2006-06-03

      It is one thing to play 'timeless classics' it is another thing to play 'timeless classics' badly. I could not stand to listen to more than thirty seconds of each track. The playing though accurate (after how many takes?) has no life what so ever. Has Kathy heard about phrasing? Each note is played separately with no phrasing so every note is stabbed into the ear! Bah bah bah bah bah bah ect. Wow... what a waste of money to produce such a poor recording. It is clear that this is an adult student or teacher that has lots of money, and little to no musical ear. "Kathy, this week, use your metronome, practice your scales and Hannon, and we'll work more on this next week."

      1 out of 5 stars A travesty.......2005-03-12

      I have nothing against midi or computer piano music, but this is very bad, indeed!

      5 out of 5 stars A Very Rare Jewel: Kathy Keane's "A Classical Touch".......2003-12-16

      The only regret I have about Kathy Keane's "A Classical Touch" is that I didn't discover it years ago.
      It doesn't mean Keane's freshness has faded. The reason this CD merits five stars is because every track, from Clair de Lune to The Harmonious Blacksmith, from the Waltz in A-flat major to Fur Elise, is presented with a sense of wonder, a feeling that Keane herself can scarcely believe how beautiful the music is.
      Yes, her playing is elegant and her love for music is palpable. But it is her own astonishment at the beauty of the music that makes this CD a must-buy for both devotees of the classics as well as newcomers.
      Share her wonder!

      3 out of 5 stars Machine versus human.......2006-02-22

      These are competent, realistic transfers from a controversial technology. Piano-roll manufacture is well documented, but almost never detailed in modern liner notes. Usually it is said the rolls "capture" a pianist's dynamics. What is not said is that these measured dynamics all had to be transferred manually to issued rolls by an editor, who strove against the limitations of the commercial mechanism. (For example, Edgar Fairchild encoded Rachmaninoff's dynamics.) The keyboard lay in sections, within which no two keys could play at different intensities at once. Some notes were shifted to allow the mechanism to assign specific volume levels, which caused rhythmic anomalies at times. Pedal perforations were strictly on-off -- half pedaling had to be simulated by fluttering, or lengthening of specific notes. Rolls have been transferred to LP many times over the years, and one good way to assess them is to listen to multiple transfers of the same roll. That they differ so much from each other is proof enough that their best use is for enjoyment, rather than documenting a pianist's work.

      5 out of 5 stars A note on the reproducing piano..........2006-01-09

      These pianos were considered state-of-the-art wonders at the time, from around the turn of the century until the Depression hit in the late 1920s and the general public could no longer afford them. In the meantime, many famous pianists performed on these engineering marvels and listeners would be unable to distinguish between an actual live performance or the performance of the reproducing piano itself. Alfred Cortot used to promote them by starting out with a live performance behind a veiled curtain and then having the reproducing piano take over without the audience being able to tell the difference. That's how good they were.

      Further, Artur Rubinstein, Paderewski, Rachmaninoff, Horowitz, Gershwin, Granger, Granados (the great Spanish composer who died in 1916 after his ship was sunk by a German sub), Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Edwin Fisher and many of the other piano giants of their day all thought well enough of these instruments to have lucrative contracts with these piano companies, and the sonic reproduction of these instruments - when properly regulated - was phenomenal, capturing their interpreters' performance amazingly well for posterity.

      I have at least 10 of these CDs by either Klavier Records (who started their company by reproducing these piano rolls) or by Nimbus Records, which has a rich catalogue of these reproduced performances. There is no discernible loss of shading of nuance in these performances, and there is a special joy to hear these great pianists of a bygone era at their peak of their creativity and genius without the scratchy and tinny sound of the primitive phonographs of the day.

      I share this information so listeners will seek out these reproduced performance as far superior to the scratchy 78s many of these same performers made during the same period. By doing so, they'll understand just how moving and satisfying some of these early piano legends were, such as Paderewski, who was born in 1860. Well, not on this particular record, but on others, the listener can hear an authentic Paderewski performance in digital sound (!) That's what happens when two technologies of a bygone and the modern era are teamed up - wonderful. Paderewski would have to be 120 years old to have made it into the digital age (1980) without these amazing reproducing pianos having preserved his legacy beforehand. These instruments were truly wonders - and still are. This particular performance of Granados by Granados is even better than the tremendous performances of his works by Alicia de Larrocha. He was a phenomenally subtle, passionate and sensitive pianist, and it's all captured in this amazing recording.

      This disk recreates performance recorded by the composers using the Aeolian Duo-Art recording system. Similar to a player-piano, but substantially more complex, the Duo-Art was able to capture not just notes and timing but tone and attack, so that when played back it recreated most if not all of the original performance. How much of the composers' performance is lost is difficult to say, as there are few recordings to compare to, however I found the performances intriguing and convincing. Gershwin's performance of the solo piano version of Rhapsody in Blue from 1925 is idiosyncratic and delightful. The sound quality is far better than that of a recording from that time period. These performance do not sound mechanical to my ear. There may be some limitations to the Duo-Art technology, but those limitations do not prevent me from enjoying these revealing performances.

      2 out of 5 stars Mechanical.......2003-10-19

      The recording is not of the composers performing their own pieces, but piano-rolls made by the composer for the general public back in the '20s. While the engineering of these rolls is excellent and no doubt of historical value for the esoteric collector, the recordings provide a music box result of the composers work.
