- Richard Freed, WETA orchestral fireworks EIJI OUE MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA RR-92CD [HDCD] Even before Ravel's BOLERO was featured in the hit movie "Ten", it was the most recognizable and the most popular piece of orchestral music ever written. Its hypnotic melodies, rhythms and brilliant orchestral colors have made it a favorite of conductors and audiences worldwide. "Prof." Keith Johnson has finally made the HDCD® recording of BOLERO that RR fans have been waiting for, as the finale of a generous program of orchestral showpieces. Included are beloved classics by Liszt, Brahms, Dvorák, Berlioz and Rimsky-Korsakov, along with rarely-heard, exciting pieces by Kabalevsky, Deems Taylor, Chabrier, Järnefelt and - yes - the great conductor Otto Klemperer. This makes an unusual and highly satisfying program of shorter, audience-friendly classics.
