5.0 out of 5 stars Irresistable music, unbeatable at the price, 13 Jul 2001
By chris_breemer@nl.compuware.com (Lopikerkapel, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
Naxos "American Classics" has already given us several acclaimed releases by these artists. This one is easily the best so far in terms of performance and sonic quality. The Kiev orchestra are clearly having a field day, and what a splendid band they are ! It's hard to imagine this music being played better by the Boston Pops or New York Philly. The sound quality is every bit as good as you'd expect from a full-price CD by one of the big names.

Morton Gould was a precociously gifted composer, pianist, arranger, and director, who should probably rank right along with Bernstein and Previn. The music presented here is colorful and extrovert. Admittedly some of it would not go amiss behind a Tom and Jerry cartoon, but it's never less than entertaining.

The American Ballads are the most substantial fare here, having moments of Copland-like tenderness as well as quasi-symphonic grandeur, the magnificent final surge of the 'Hymnals' perhaps the best example. The rousing arrangement of 'Johnny comes marching home' in the American Salute is sure to bring the house down, although I don't care much for the exaggeratingly whipped-up tempo in the final pages.

All in all, this is an immensely enjoyable issue. It helps of course if you like Americana. But if you think you don't, perhaps this CD might just change your mind.
