Reviews of some of the original recordings that make up this set:

Sousa: Marches
"Many composers have excelled in writing marches - Alford, Coates, Fuçik and Texidor to name a few. None however had quite the same ability to impel the listener to physical activity that Sousa had. Read more I imagine I am far from alone in looking forward to each new release in what I hope will eventually be a complete edition from Naxos. They have all been splendidly played and presented but there must be room for more than one version of these little masterpieces, and this disc is at least as good as the Naxos versions in terms both of performance and recording. I have never come across the Great American Main Street Band before but this is clearly my loss as they play with just the right degree of panache and loose-limbed swagger that the music needs. The term “American Classics” has been overused by several recording companies to include several works which could never realistically be described in those terms but the music on this disc does wholly deserve it, especially in performances of this quality.

Inevitably most of it consists of marches. Most of the best known are here along with a few less familiar such as “Ancient and Honourable Artillery Company” and “Who’s who in Navy Blue”. Specialists in Gilbert and Sullivan will have to have it because of the “Mikado March”, similar to Komzak’s “Barataria March” in its use of G&S melodies to form a march. In addition to the marches the disc includes several short bugle and drum pieces. Amazingly given the limitations of the medium these are actually worth hearing … if not too often. There is also a Tango - the least erotic I have come across, a Polonaise, a set of Valses and a “Dance Hilarious” - a kind of impression of ragtime as seen by an outsider. None of these really match the sheer genius of the marches but they are entertaining and help to break up what might otherwise become a predictable set of pieces. None of the Suites or other longer items that Naxos have are included here but it is nonetheless a disc that can be listened to straight through with enjoyment." -- John Sheppard, MusicWeb International Carter: Violin Concerto, Concerto for Orchestra
"I am sure that many people are hoping that the American Classics line will not start and end with the ten discs issued in May. While EMI's vaults may not be as generously stocked with American music as with British music there is surely much more to come. I think particularly of Abravanel's splendid Utah Symphony Orchestra recording of the Roy Harris Folksong Symphony and their Albany collection of tone-poems from the American Musical Renaissance. If they could also strike a deal with Sony to reissue the Ruggles-Tilson Thomas recordings issued on vinyl by CBS in 1973 the company would sweep the board. As it is, the present month's release schedule mixes the usual suspects with the less predictable such as this extremely valuable reissue from 1992.

The long-lived and staggeringly productive Elliott Carter is represented by three works in his later non-tonal idiom. Two of the works strike me as episodically engaging while the third has a more consistent grip on the attention. Carter specialises in episodic constructs and this is in evidence here. The manner is virtually expected in the Three Occasions and in the Concerto for Orchestra. The first two Occasions present the composer as the master of bejewelled incident - a sequence of flurries, eddies, squalls and fleeting tempests. The third, Anniversary, is more prepossessing with a sour-edged lyrical flux and several intriguing asides such as the impudent clarinet figuration towards the close. The Concerto for Orchestra virtually incites flashes of virtuosity and this Carter provides across six movements including a bat-wing fluttering Presto volando. Oliver Knussen and the well practised London Sinfonietta are attuned to this music and play it with consummate confidence. They were fully aware of the honours and duties of making the first commercial recordings of these works. In contrast with the other works the Violin Concerto conveys a greater sense of line and communication. Ole Böhn's absorbed and absorbing advocacy undoubtedly help. Here Carter's music moves between furious atonal yet aspirational virtuosity, the spattered angular projection of a Jackson Pollock, ancient mysteries (the central Angosciato) and the feathery-spiky, William Schuman-like Scherzando...A superbly recorded and brilliantly performed Carter collection."

Adams: Shaker Loops, The Chairman Dances
"Shaker Loops receives a vigorous, convincing performance that can stand comparison with Adams’s own on Nonesuch. The Chairman Dances is one of Adams’s chugging, churning rhythm pieces. It comprises a “deleted scene” from Nixon in China, and as such is best enjoyed as a display of virtuoso orchestration on the order of Boléro or La valse. Short Ride was written for Michael Tilson Thomas’s first concert at Great Woods in Manchester, Massachusetts; it’s the kind of curtain raiser that engages the listener’s interest for the more substantial fare to follow."

-- Christopher Abbot, Fanfare
Adams: Grand Pianola Music
"A quite different kind of contemporary creativity is offered by John Adams, who is of the Minimalist school (which means making a lot out of a little, mainly by repetitive devices). My introduction to his music came with Shaker Loops. There are four linked movements and in spite of the repeating syndrome the effect is both imaginative and hypnotic...But the piece which really convinces me that the Minimalist school could instigate a genuinely creative originality, is the HMV issue of Adams's Grand Pianola Music directed by Ransom Wilson. This is much more ambitious than it sounds for the Solisti New York feature voices and provide a wide orchestral palate, including percussion, with the pianos consistently embroidering the texture. The first movement is powerfully kaleidoscopic, the second serene and the finale makes a crossover into the world of pop music for its material, to build a huge climax on a single melodic fragment with most compulsive effect...I do urge collectors to sample this remarkable music."

-- Gramophone [1/1986]

Reich: Four Organs; Glass: Facades, Company
"From Reich's earliest days comes Four Organs in a performance by Michael Tilson Thomas who at that time had only recently completed his Ruggles recording project for CBS. It's one of Reich's most extreme pieces and I can well believe the anecdote that at one of the New York performances one woman rushed forward from the audience shouting repeatedly 'All right, I confess!' It is repetition stark and unadorned. The harmony remains the same throughout its 24 minutes with the only change being the length of particular notes in the repeatedly expressed cell. The only decoration is a maraca or sand box sound above the organ cell.

Philip Glass is represented by shorter works. His Façades is from the score for the 1983 film Koyaanisqatsi. This was written for an unused montage of New York skyscrapers. The insistently murmuring string cell is subdued and troubled with a Herrmann-like hysteria subtext. The four movements that make up Company - nothing to do with the Sondheim musical - were originally written for a play based on Samuel Beckett's novella of that name. I have heard this work recently in the Naxos 3 CD boxed set including three of Glass's symphonies. Christopher Warren-Green gives the score greater edge and fullness. The music steps not that far away from Sibelius's Rakastava."

-- Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International

Ives: Songs, Orchestral Sets
"This CD is exactly what its title implies—a portrait of Ives through some of his most characteristic music. No soft options are taken. At times this is the rough ride up the mountain, as Ives called it, but the view is magnificent. Henry Herford, whose recordings of Ives's songs on Unicorn-Kanchana I have particularly commended (9/91 and 3/92), is ideally suited to delivering classics like General William Booth, rare pop numbers from Ives's student days like The bells of Yale, and the composer's exquisite farewell to composition—the late Sunrise from 1926, to his own text. And Ingo Metzmacher, with his excellent German band, knows exactly how to get the most out of Ives's exploratory studies such as the Tone Roads pieces and From the steeples and the mountains. Gone are the days when tough songs like On the Antipodes or Aeschylus and Sophocles were avoided or approached tentatively! Now they are revelations...This is an outstanding anthology—the best now on offer—admirably chosen and planned with every component vividly delivered. I cannot imagine that anyone interested in Ives will not rush to obtain it."

-- Peter Dickinson, Gramophone 6/1993

 American music, undiluted August 1, 2012 By Harold C. (Arlington, VA) See All My Reviews "EMI has issued a wonderful collection of American music, some familiar and some not, but all interesting and entertaining. The first two volumes, Sousa marches and Joplin rags and waltzes, are alone worth the cost of the set. The range of music presented here is very wide, so there are many selections which please most listeners - and a few to offend some! This set can be explored for weeks with new revelations on each hearing. Not to be missed." Report Abuse
