1987-2012 Great Classical Masterpieces; Naxos
Review By EW90580,July 2012

With this album, the Naxos proudly celebrates 25 years (1987-2012) of best-selling albums. All the selections are taken from previously offered CDs that were all, in their time, best-sellers, and some of their earliest albums still outsell more recently marketed CDs.

Of the 18 tracks, four (Nos. 1, 9, 14, and 18) are conducted by Maestro Stephen Gunzenhauser, who made many acclaimed recordings for Naxos in their early years but no longer records for them, although he is still very active as conductor of the Lancaster (PA) Symphony Orchestra and the summer-season's annual Endless Mountain Music Festival. The first track, Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man, is a splendid introduction to this sampler, which no newcomer to classical music should miss.

Review By Film Music: The Neglected Art,May 2012

To celebrate twenty five years, Naxos is offering a CD of some of their best selling CD’s at a suggested retail price of $4.95. It offers a wide range of material spanning nearly 1000 years of music including choral, symphonic, piano material solo and concerto and violin material. The best sellers actually come from the first ten years and include several tracks from the much improved Slovak, Budapest, and Polish orchestras.

For the newcomer to classical music this is an excellent way to introduce you to some of the finest selections from the huge catalog of material that Naxos has to offer.
