Free Music Review: Musically and Sonically Pleasing
Hit: 5 Stars

I have owned this recording for several years and frequently play it to generally hear the Prokofiev Classical Symphony. The other works are enjoyable but it's the Classical Symphony that I enjoy the most.

The performances of all three are done crisply and cleanly with rather extraordinary string sound. Having played cello for many years I have knowledge of how live strings should sound and this recording comes much closer than most to capturing the special sound that strings have in a live performance; that alone awakens memories.

I find this recording refreshing from that perspective alone, the beauty of the music and the quality of the performance are like icing on the cake. As you may guess, I'm very interested in quality music reproduction and place value on both the quality of the performance as well as the quality of the recording; this 1987 recording excels in both categories.

The CD includes a booklet which has a picture of the 24 youthful members of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. The picture shows the musicians with their instruments and seems to include flutes, oboe, clarinets, bassoons, violins, violas, cellos, and string bass.

The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, based in New York City, continues to perform and make a name for itself following the philosophy of playing with no conductor in the spirit of the small string ensemble and even rotating positions of leadership. If you put orpheusnyc into your browser and check out "About" you will find an interesting photo of the ensemble it the time they recorded this disc.

If you enjoy string sound well recorded with the string ensemble performing beautifully you'll find this CD an enjoyable addition to your library.
