Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0090266269822 Label: RCA Manufacturer: RCA MPN: 62698 Number Of Discs: 7 Publisher: RCA Release Date: October 11, 1994 Studio: RCA Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Perhaps I should start by admitting a bias: Many years ago, lying on Boston's grassy Esplanade by the Charles River on warm summer nights, I learned what a symphony orchestra should sound like, with Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra. Those concerts were free; these seven compact discs are not--not quite. But for any lover of light classical music, they are certainly one of the best buys available. The orchestra (essentially the Boston Symphony) is one of the world's greatest; the music, from Smoke Gets in Your Eyes to the Goyescas Intermezzo and Ride of the Valkyries is instantly enjoyable and permanently valuable; the conductor is at the same time genial and exacting, convinced that any music you play, no matter how frivolous, deserves the best you can give it. --Joe McLellan Average Rating:

This acknowledgement goes far beyond the fact his countless efforts for bringing the academic music to wider audiences. His gifts as conductor have deserved him several insurmountable versions ( Liszt' Preludes, De Sousa, Strauss ` Thunder Polka, Mendelssohn' s Fingal cave, Gershwin's works and so many other radiant performances) .
