| |  | It made my car speakers shake from the excitement |  |
Here in Miami the traffic is so bad, you need something to cure the boredom. My car audio system takes care of that. When I listened to this CD, the performances were so exciting, it made the speakers shake. As for the individual performances, I liked the Liszt Les Preludes best simply because good performances of this wonderful piece are very rare. The Dukas could use a little more poetry in the quieter moments but everything else is just super, a fantastic CD.

The Cincinnati Pops has never released a finer recording than this collection of blockbuster showpieces for orchestra. The performances of the Samson & Delilah "Bacchanale" and the "Polka and Fugue" from Schwanda are superb - the latter compares more than favorably with Reiner's legendary Chicago Symphony recording. But the jewel in the crown is the "Procession of the Nobles," which here receives what may be its finest recorded performance ever.
The orchestra is at its hair-trigger best throughout the CD, and the sound is extraordinarily natural - I live in Cincinnati, hear the orchestra frequently, and can testify that this is as close as you can come to being in Music Hall without actually having to fight the traffic. Regardless of your level of musical sophistication, buy this one with absolute confidence - you won't be disappointed. December 30, 1999
This is wonderful music! And... you will not find a better disc to showcase your $20,000 audio system, or take to the audio store for auditioning, than this! The dynamic range takes full advantage of the digital format - the quiet passages are whispers, the loud passages will shake your foundations! I purchased it when it first came out in '87 (NOT from Amazon!); it dazzled me on the first play, and continues to dazzle! Personal favorites include "Sorcerer's Apprentice," "Schwanda the Bagpiper" (joyful!), and "Samson and Delilah" (the frenzied climax will leave you gasping!)
