Classical Jukebox Vol I - A Vintage Oldie!4
Many of the same pieces on this CD were recorded on a vintage LP vinyl album of the late 1960s, entitled "More Greatest Hits" by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. But the CD is even better; the recordings originally may have been analog, but there are more of them. The choice of music and quality is typically Ormandy -- outstanding. Young music lovers just beginning to explore the classical repertoire will especially appreciate this CD. I highly recommend it.

J'AI UN FAIBLE POUR ORMANDY4
I confess to having a soft spot for Eugene Ormandy. The programme on this compilation CD is most varied, it goes all the way from HUNGARIAN DANCE NO. 5 by Brahms to the SUNRISE THEME by R. Strauss. The sound is pure Ormandy, crisp and clean, the tempos are always measured and well executed. The recorded sound is beautiful. Only one reservation - the short pieces leave one wishing for more of the same. Someone please inform me when the Sony people put Ormandy's rendition of MOTU PERPETUO by Paganini on CD...
