5 out of 5 stars Eroica Trio, Classical Music Angels.......2006-03-19

The album, "Best of Eroica," demonstrates with heavenly beauty this group's musicality, technical skill, and deep understanding of the music they've chosen. This album is a "must" for anyone who enjoys piano trios and wants to relax surrounded by transporting sound.

4 out of 5 stars Spirited style in a generous album--4.5 stars.......2005-12-09

This generous album (nearly 75 minutes long) contains 14 selections from the award-winning trio's other CDs. Thus, the range of music is quite wide. The artists (Erika Nickrenz--piano, Adela Pena-violin, & Sara Sant'Ambrogio--cello), though accomplished soloists, meld their playing beautifully. The Albinoni here is the shortest of the four versions in my collection--played with spirit. The Vivaldi demonstrates their virtuosity. I think the viola shines in Brahm's lullaby. The Piazzolla pieces remind me of the concert at which I heard them play; it was spectacular. Still, a few of the pieces are not particularly to my liking--though they are played well. Also, as a baroque fan I'd like to see some Telemann, Bach, &/or Handel. Most of the pieces are very lively--not too relaxing or useful for meditation--but great for listening. But then, as a trio, they are chamber music oriented. Still, IMHO the order of pieces on the album could be improved. Overall, it's a very fine album though I like the baroque one better--just a personal preference, of course.

5 out of 5 stars Electrifying.......2005-08-26

I saw them live a few years ago, and was captivated by their group chemistry and technical precision. One of my favorite modern classical groups.

5 out of 5 stars Better still, buy the other CDs.......2005-05-27

As a compilation, the ladies have selected a few cuts from each of their 6 CDs to give any listener new to the Eroica Trio--named in homage to Beethoven's 3d "Eroica" Symphony, not the crass misreading offered by a previous reviewer--a singular treat, and thus serves as a good first disk. But it is a sampler of sorts, and while I think that all of their CDs are good and worth your attention, they do range in focus and style from tangos to the Baroque, to healthy doses of Beethoven, Brahms and Bach--so suit to taste. The 5 star rating I give this CD is really for the larger body of work that this disk draws from.

5 out of 5 stars I was prepared to have a mean rant, however.............2005-05-07

These ladies can play!! The chemistry and emotional fire is what makes up for the corny "Erotica Trio" title, but I ask you-what would you do as a graduating classical musician to get noticed today? Our cities are riddled with out-of-work and under appreciated young classical musicians, and it's partly our fault for not telling everyone about this great art form.
One day we may see a renissance in the musical arts where knowing the works & composers of the classical cannon won't be so rare- just imagine.

5 out of 5 stars Even my kid likes this!.......2005-11-07

This is an amazing collection of songs, all performed with such skill that even my 8-year-old son likes this CD. Brahms and Beatles, Mozart and Ellington, there is something here for everyone. And thank you, thank you, thank you for "Bassoonist's Holiday."

5 out of 5 stars Bassoon Me!.......2004-08-09

I delight in the bassoon! What a unique and great sound, throaty and thrillingly coarse, yet soaring to sound at times like sax, like oboe, like cello, like a bunch of bassoonatics!

This is delightful collection of musical styles played by this innovative and talented quartet. Choosing to select pieces that are not typically of the bassoon repertoire, we go from Waltz to Gershwin to Broadway to Motzart to Lennon/McCartnye to Sibelius to most of us unknowns such as Mitchell Clarke to Duke Ellington.

All played with passion and gusto and excellent tonality, phrasing and tempo.

Bassoon Me again!

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant Bassoonastics.......2003-09-27

This would have to be the best bassoon ensemble cd on the market. The arrangements are stylish and clever, and the performances brilliant! Fraser Jackson must be the most accomplished contrabassoonist I have ever head. This cd is a must for any bassoonists collection be you amateur or proffessional.

5 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING QUARTET.......2002-04-14

This disc is really superb!!! Not only is the playing at an extremely high level by the group, the arrangements are also outstanding. The Brahms is abolutely beautiful. The group goes from lightning fingers bravura to sweet soulful singing. It is a joy to listen to again and again.

5 out of 5 stars Simply fantastic!.......2001-10-26

I simply love the Caliban Quartet! They breath new life into bassoons! The way they bring out the music is simply magical. Not only do they sound good, their technical abilities are simply amazing!

Maybe it is not a perfect recording,
maybe you can find some poor sound quality (not about play itself),
But it's the best play for my soul.
I think it's the cure for your sadness. Not for happy people.

Very good sample of some of today's top classical guitarists. The performances and recording quality are superb. I love the LA Guitar Quartet but am not crazy about their de Falla selection. I also don't like the last piece, which is unfortunately 12 minutes long. Everything else shines, though. The performances by David Russell, the Assad Brothers, Roberto Aussel, and Scott Tennant are outstanding. I have the second volume of this collection, but I like the selections on the first volume much more.

5 out of 5 stars An amazing sampler...........2001-12-31

Sit up and take notice, for any serious fan of the guitar this French produced CD is worth it's weight in gold! They've taken some of the world's greatest guitarists and allowed them to play a generous sampling of works by the world's greatest composers of guitar music.

To expand a bit on the notes Amazon has provided on this page, each artist or group performs approximately ten minutes of work by a single composer. For example, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet is performing three pieces from Manuel de Falla's "El Amor Brujo." David Russell transcribes and performs three selections from Johann Sebastian Bach's Suite BWV 1034. The Assad brothers treat us to three movements from Joaquin Rodrigo's Tonadilla; Aussel performs Scarlatti; and Isaac gives us the work of Astor Piazzolla, the father of Nuevo Tango.

The recording quality is the highest; the sound is round and rich and lovely. This CD has an attractively low price tag and,... If you love beautiful guitar music, order this now before they vanish.

    As far as I know, Astor Piazzolla didn't write any tangos for the piano, so these are all arrangements. Aquilles Delle Vigne, who comes from Buenos Aires, gets the rhythms and style of the music just right. I wouldn't want to say, as the CD does, that these are "Astor Piazzolla's Best Tangos," but they are all quite good ones. Although they're "just" popular dance pieces, many of them stick in the memory the way inspired music often does. The piano sound on this disc is just all right, not state-of-the-art. But at the asking price it's a great bargain, and a good way for the cautious to get acquainted with this wonderful music. --Leslie Gerber
