Evening Adagios.
Various composers and artists. Decca 289 470 780-2 (2-disc set).
Compilations and more compilations. The classical music industry is currently living off its old catalogue, which in some cases is a bargain for the music collector who needs to have everything. The latest is Decca with its "Adagio" series: this one reviewed, "Evening Adagios," plus a slew of others called "Romantic Adagios," "Violin Adagios," "Vivaldi Adagios," "Movie Adagios," "Baroque Adagios," and on and on, all two-disc, mid-price sets culled from Decca's back stock of big-name players.
There's certainly a lot of beautiful music to be had here, and one can hardly quibble about the performances, with artists such as Frederick Fennell, Neville Marriner, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Charles Dutoit, Arthur Grumiaux, Pepe Romero, Pascal Roge, Jeffrey Tate, Colin Davis, Radu Lupu, I Musici, Riccardo Chailly, Karl Munchinger, and Istvan Kertesz doing the music-making.
To name just a few of the 30 items represented on the discs, there ...
