Out-of-print, classic hybrid SACD. Overall, it's in beautiful condition. This set includes Grofé's representative works: Grand Canyon Suite, Mississippi Suite, and Niagara Falls Suite. The Mississippi Suite was also used in the American transcontinental ultra quiz, so wouldn't everyone older than a certain age know it? The recording was done in 24bit/48kHz, and it's the highest quality of this period, or even among all NAXOS recordings, and is still the best Grofé recording without a doubt. The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Stromberg, also earnestly tackles this piece, and delivers a performance full of energy without a single thread out of place. The fact that it's not a first-class orchestra may have worked in a positive way for tackling Grofé without any strange pride, don't you think? Above all, the orchestra's enjoyable atmosphere is great. Spectacular sound description! This is truly a spectacle!! Grofé: Mississippi Suite / Suite "Grand Canyon" / Suite "Niagara Falls" (Recording: July 1998, Poole Arts Centre, Wessex Hall, Poole, Dorset, UK) William T. Stromberg, conductor / Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra We bring you a very easy-to-understand, cheerful entertainment piece by the American master Grofé. If you know the title, no explanation is needed, or rather, you can guess the title just by listening; this simplicity is extremely enjoyable. Especially in numbers like "Rainstorm," "Roar of the Falls," and "Power of Niagara" (Recommended! It's hydroelectric power plant music!), the thorough spectacle that makes you want to say "They went this far!" reaches a state of pleasure. Also, in "Huckleberry Finn" and "Mardi Gras," you can hear the familiar music from the "American transcontinental ultra quiz"!
