Respighi: Pines of Rome, Fountains of Rome, Debussy: La Mer - Reiner        (6 of 7 found this review helpful)
  May 31, 2007

This disc is certainly an interesting release in the Living Stereo series, although by no means in the top ranks. Still, there is plenty of inspired playing here and I think Reiner is more suited to the Resphigi works than Debussy's La Mer. Reiner's reading of La Mer is certainly not the worst, but ... more

Russian Violin Concertos - Fischer/Kreizberg          (7 of 7 found this review helpful)
  May 25, 2007

After reading the glowing reviews presented here, I decided to get this one and this disc does not disappoint! Julia Fischer and Yakov Kreizberg make an excellent team.
