Description
One of Reference Recordings' all time favorite recordings, available for the first time on vinyl! Ghosts, goblins, spirits, and demons run amok in this program of infernal orchestral favorites. Mephisto Waltz (Liszt), Night On Bald Mountain (Mussorgsky), Tam O'Shanter (Arnold) and many more are collected in an explosive witches' brew! Eiji Oue conducts the Minnesota Orchestra with violin solos by Jorja Fleezanis.
"…should be listened to with caution by anyone with a heart condition." -Paul Festa, Salon
"Enjoy equally sensational sonics in a disc of daemonic influences, including Liszt's serious Mephisto Waltz and Dukas's comic masterpiece The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Oue is a born showman, and the orchestra is certainly willing – the dramatic ending to Franck's Le Chausseur Maudit packed full of virtuosity, while the brass is superb in Malcolm Arnold's Tam O'Shanter." -David Denton, The Yorkshire Post
