Admirers of Herbert von Karajan have four Beethoven symphony cycles to choose from, and out of these, his 1962-1963 recordings are almost universally praised, with the rendition of the Symphony No. 9 in D minor singled out as one of this conductor's greatest achievements. Over 20 years later, Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra took on the Ninth again, in this digital recording that would be his last statement for Deutsche Grammophon of this great symphony. By this time in his career, Karajan was a legend and he could ask anything of the BPO, so in this performance he emphasized the polished sound of the orchestra rather more than the energy and excitement of the music. However, Deutsche Grammophon's reproduction reflects the limitations of early digital technology, with a shallow surface quality and overly bright sonorities, so perhaps what Karajan created and heard in the orchestral sound is not preserved in this CD. ~ Blair Sanderson, Rovi

Japanese version of their 2007 album includes one bonus track, 'Time Capsule'. Now entering the 10th year of a highly illustrious career that has seen the band grow in stature to become one of the most instantly recognizable names in music, Air (Nicolas Godin and JB Dunckel) return with their most seductive and accomplished album to date, full of the rich musical invention that their millions of fans worldwide have come to expect, and one that will forever cement their reputation as two of the most talented musicians of their generation. Having practically created their own sub-genre with 1998's classic Moon Safari , Air continues to enjoy one of the most avid fanbases of any band as well as the admiration of celebrities, press and other media contacts. With each new album, Air's foothold in the U.S. market becomes stronger and their career is awash in artistic and commercial highlights.Not only are they among the most constantly requested bands for film and TV licensing, they are also a major draw on the live circuit,having sold out the 18,000 seater Hollywood Bowl in 2004 in support of their previous benchmark album Talkie Walkie. Their U.S. catalog sales are fast approaching the 1,000,000 mark and are among the most consistent of any band in their standing, attracting many thousands of new fans each year. Pocket Symphony sees the band re-uniting with Grammy-winning producer Nigel Godrich and features collaborations with Jarvis Cocker (One Hell Of A Party) and Neil Hannon ( Somewhere Between Waking And Sleeping). Twelve brand new Air songs that ooze the classic Air sound of swirling synths, crisp percussion, mellow charm and ethereal bliss, all with a far-Eastern twist courtesy of Nicolas Godin's new found interest in Asian instrumentation, namely the Koto and the Shamisen, a 3-stringed instrument which is one of Japan's most popular classical instruments. Working their way throughout the album as musical ricochets, these unearthly sounds add another motif to Air's magnificent sonic architecture.

Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra have a knack for delivering something with which many other orchestras and conductors struggle. That is, to produce a box set that has the ability to maintain a listener's interest from disc one to, in this case, disc five. Like their cycle of the Mozart and Schubert symphonies, this set of the late Haydn symphonies is a treat from start to finish. Although Haydn's symphonies do not display the dramatic changes from one symphony to the next that a listener might expect when listening to a cycle of the Beethoven or Mahler symphonies, Harnoncourt and the RCO play with ample exuberance, energy, and minute attention to detail so as to make every note and phrase as fresh as the last. The recordings, made between 1987 and 1993, are highly consistent in sound quality and could just as easily have been made in the same season. The RCO's sound is generally very well-suited to Haydn: crisp strings, punchy brass that don't get in the way, and winds that are equally comfortable in either an accompanimental or soloistic role. The one potential bugaboo that pervades the recording is the timpani, whose sound all too often covers the rest of the orchestra with its very boomy attacks. Apart from that, this collection makes for an excellent reference for the late Haydn symphonies. ~ Mike D. Brownell, Rovi
