This new batch of budget-priced sets contains major recording projects by some of the 20th century's most celebrated musicians. Two boxes in this new batch of Original Masters feature Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. The 4-album Richard Strauss set gathers together all of their early 1960s recordings of the famous tone poems along with Salome's Dance, the Rosenkavalier and Bürger als Edelmann suites, the Burleske with soloist Rudolf Serkin and the First Horn Concerto, featuring Philadelphia principal Mason Jones. An early review in High Fidelity best summed up their powerful appeal in Strauss's music: \"There is no doubt that, for sheer gorgeousness, the Philadelphians have no peers.\" More recent assessments in the Penguin Guide reaffirm that verdict: \"Virtuoso orchestral playing... and many felicities of characterization\" [Also sprach Zarathustra]; \"Marvelous orchestral playing and the two soloists play splendidly with plenty of character\" [Don Quixote]; \"An extraordinarily voluptuous Philadelphia performance... Ormandy directs with licentious abandon, and the orchestra responds with tremendous virtuosity and ardor\" [Salome's Dance]; \"Ormandy's Ein Heldenleben is an engulfing performance, and the composite richness of tone and the fervor of the playing... bring the highest possible level of orchestral tension.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso Sprach Zarathustra Op. 30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don Quixote Op. 35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lorne Munroe Cello · Carlton Cooley Viola\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche Op. 28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don Juan Op. 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tod Und Verklärung Op. 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ein Heldenleben Op. 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Der Bürger Als Edelmann Op. 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Der Rosenkavalier - Suite TRV 227D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tanz Der Sieben Schleier from Salome Op. 54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Burleske for Piano and Orchestra in D minor TRV 145\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rudolf Serkin Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Concerto for Horn and Orchestra No. 1 in E-Flat Major Op. 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mason Jones Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50445705969938,"sku":"194397095326","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/3782458.jpg?v=1729703509","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/rudolf-serkin-ormandy-conducts-strauss-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
