5 out of 5 stars Recordings not to be missed.   July 28, 2010
Jesse R. Litten (So Cal desert)
Great recordings by famous performers of the recent past. Carefully selected from EMI and BBC files. Restored well for great presentation. I enjoyed every minute of each performance. I say: MORE!!

The BBC must be in trouble if this is the best that they could do. Apart from a very brief Callas appearance (we tend to forget how great she was) and some nostalgia for a youngish charming but not particularly great Menuhin (and he had many great performances but not here) ....the rest was immediately forgettable.... The French archives must be even worse than the Brits.


5 out of 5 stars Muy buena selección   September 16, 2008

Esta es una muy buena selección de grabaciones del pasado. Lamentablemente hay piezas que no están completas (como la 9na. Sinfonía de Beethoven, dirigida por Otto Klemperer en 1964), o el Concierto para Violín y Orquesta de Brahms (Oistrakh)pero hay otras que sí, como el Romance en Fa mayor (Op. 50) de Beethoven (Menuhin).
Los amantes de la música clásica deben tener este DVD, cuyo título: Grandes Grabaciones del Siglo, es más que adecuado. Que el sonido sea monofónico no opaca el inmenso brillo de estas magistrales interpretaciones.
