Richard Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Actually, I did not find the "pauses" so to speak to diminish the overall recordings. In fact, this is one of the best Nutcracker pieces I've ever listened to; and I feel the tempo is just about right. The main reason I was drawn to Valery Gergiev & the Kirov Orchestra and Choir's version was the fact (at least in my opinion) that too many conductors have commercialized this classic piece. Gergiev in my opinion conducted with superb counterpoint and the Kirov Orchestra followed flawlessly. Thanks for that Ishii, I may have to get this after all, as I am quite intrigued!

maxthrusters Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 The last CDs I got were from Amazon.com and are classical music of the medieval era (von Bingen, Alfonso X, Machaut, etc).Since the era of DRMed CDs and RIAA lawsuits began I stopped buying popular music CDs. In the last 6 months I've spent about 350$ at allofmp3.com instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
