    "Educational BUT Imperfect"
  

*by R***1 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 11, 2011*

My intensions and expectations in purchasing this set were:(a) Obtain the ability to identify instruments by their sounds.(b) The opportunity to perceive  various sounds &  colors of different musical instruments.(c)Compare instruments sounds one against the other.(d) Exposure to new instruments and to those one rarely hears.Expectation were only partly met for the following reasons:1-The Woodwind and the Brass instruments CDs are unfriendly organized, which may cause difficulties for the beginner listener. In its FIRST demonstration an instrument should appear as solo, preferably in a concerto which not only isolate the instrument but also enables to emphasize the sound's versatility produced by a virtuoso player. Solo demonstration makes it easier  to follow ,study and remember the instruments sound for future references. Unfortunately some of the woodwinds (CD# 3), and brasses (CD # 4) are demonstrated with orchestral background which overshadows the demonstrated instrument's sound, i.e.:  CD 3 tracks 3/20 oboe, 3/26 cor anglais, 3/66 bassoon also in CD 4: 4/22 trombone and 4/26 trombone B flat . If one is unfamiliar with the  demonstrated sound, it's a difficult and frustrating task to "dig out" the relevant sound from the orchestral background. The tasks' becomes more difficult when dominant instruments play simultaneously with the demonstrated; as in 3/28 cor anglais and French horn, and in 3/45 French horn, saxophone and tuba. Go and guess "who is who?"  With better presentation this difficulty could have been avoided.2-Performers are not the top of the line neither are some choices of the musical pieces. A vast educational project such as this set, calls for the best performers and the best musical compositions; yet the prominent violinist virtuoso Perlman and the outstanding violin concertos of Beethoven and Mendelssohn  are not included. It caused me to wonder. Could it be that the financial considerations  left behind the educational purpose and this set serves as a mean for advertizing Naxos CDs?After all the source of the musical pieces chosen are solely from Naxos company.3- The booklet is informative, but has a main drawback: the CD's number is not mentioned on the tracking list pages. Hence if one whish to compare sounds it becomes a chore to brows the tracking list back and forth in order to find the relevant instrument. Listing the CD's number ,on top or bottom of the track list pages, would have eliminated the search chore. Though imperfect this set is educational, the music is enjoyable, there are some treats as presentation of uncommon musical instruments in the  percussion and  interlopers CDs  ( 5 & 6).ADDENDUM on 10/4/2013 :If you are serious and wish to learn more, search at You Tube AS A SUPPLEMENTARY TO THE CD-SET, it's packed with live concerts which are VIEW FREE ONLINE, violin concertos; which were missed in the above CD-set, as: Itzhak Perelman Beethoven Violin Concerto, alternatively Isik Stern with Orechestre National de France conducted by abbado. BUT please start with Ravel's "bolero" which introduces symphony orchestra instruments in close-ups as they start to play in succession. The best video I found is performance by Wiener Philharmoniker - Maurice Ravel -Bolero-Gustavo Dudamel. Another goody is "Scheherazade" by Rimsky-Korsakov preformed by Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest conductor Claus Peter Flor , a good follow-up by video camera shots of instruments and solo playing close ups. While watching the video, have diagrams/pictures & names of the instruments handy. Sometimes the closed-ups are too close and you see just a part of the instrument, which makes it difficult to identify, especially the woodwinds family, concentrate on the mouthpiece and bottom part of instrument for easier recognition. Watching those video enables one to learn faster not just the sound but also a glimpse to the techniques of tone productions.

    Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 7, 2003*

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.
