How to Get the Complete Lyadov on 2 CDs
341282
Anatol Liadov (Lyadov) composed 14 published orchestral works.
They time out at 90 minutes:
10 minutes longer than can be squeezed onto a single CD.

Sinaisky/BBC Philharmonic offer nine works in excellent performances (66 minutes).

For those interested, the five missing works are:
- Intermezzo in B-flat major, Op. 8 (1883)
- Ballade in D major "About Olden Times", Op. 21b (1889)
- Musical Snuff-Box in A major, Op. 32 (1893)
- Dance of the Amazon, Op. 65 (1910)
- Nnie, Op. 67 (1914)

[hint: for ease of navigation, read the review though to the end, then come back and click on the links.]

If you want the "Complete Orchestral Works of Liadov", the simplest way is to buy two budget-priced CDs:
- Shpiller/Krasnoyarsk Symphony:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Complete-Orchestral-Works/dp/B0044ZQ8LC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Complete Orchestral Works</a>&nbsp;(only 12 works - misleading title) on Brilliant Classics, and
- Gunzenhauser/Slovak Philharmonic:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Orchestral-Works/dp/B00005QJFQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Orchestral Works</a>&nbsp;(the 2 remaining works + 8 duplicates) on Naxos

Neither orchestra is as polished as the BBC Philharmonic, but the Krasnoyarsk Symphony is Very Russian.

Batiz/Mexico City Philharmonic - another incomplete collection (ASV)
includes the only recording of the unpublished "Three Fanfares" (2 minutes total duration)
- actually a work for military band.

If you want the "Absolutely Complete Orchestral Works of Liadov", you need to buy three CDs
Annoying, but all are on budget labels.

I've now purchased this album twice, from two different Amazon marketplace vendors, and in both cases, I received only one CD [Disc 1], not two, as described on the insert. The jewel cases in both instances were only designed to hold a single CD.

I have not been able to determine if this was a manufacturing/packaging problem by MCA, but be that as it may, please be aware that this is a potential problem with this particular release.

I'm a G&S newbie, so I'm not qualified to comment on the performance, but the sound is very good on the one CD I received.

I love the book and read it all the time but I have since lost the CD to the book and would love to get a new one how can I go about getting a new CD for the book

If you intend to simply play the CDs and get composer and title from the box this is a good value.  If you intend to rip this to a digital format like wma or mp3 don't buy it unless you are prepared to re-type all the meta data.  Meta data like composer and title is incomplete and or inaccurate.

Great book. But I don't have both dvds for what I need. This is ridiculous

This is an excellent cd.  Music is heavenly, but cdis  a little sparse on liner notes.  I have a few other LYRA cds, and unfortunately Amazon does not offer them.  The solos by Anna Makarenko are wonderful.  I would love to find that she has made a solo cd, and/or a dvd.  This music is out there and takes a little effort to find it.  Of course, they have some, (but not all) available at their appearances.  Check their website and do not miss them, if they are in your area.

I love this I had over 500 lp's and wanted to convert them. I had to get another coverting program but once I got the other program it was a dream.

This one is a definitive collection but you have to be careful because your chance of getting this version of the 2 CD set is about a 1% chance. Here is the skinny to watch out for on this one;

There are actually slight differences....

The Best of the Best (Back tray card on left) is smaller and lower on the 2CD... assume that they originally came in a fold out case which was printed 2 CD....

The booklets are a bit different.. different Disc Man ads

The CD's in the 2CD set are printed Disc One and Disc Two

Very slightly different Catalogue number.. Single CD ends in 2 ... 2CD version ends in 9.. which I suspect is why it makes finding out which version you are tryting to order so hard.. The sellers won't get off their Butts to actually look if it has 2 CD's... they just say that it does.. and you don't find out until you get it and look for yourself!!!!

Also, one version actually has a label on the jewel box mentioning the remixes, another 2CD version does not list it, both 2 CD versions are the same music. As for the music its top notch, the remixes were previously released on 12 Inch Singles. So beware on this one and also there is one listed by Amazon as a single CD that SAYS it has remixes but the track order must have been made up by someone smoking Crack because that one is just the single CD version. So the bottom line, if your trying to get the 2 CD version, good luck, it is extremely hard to obtain.
Visit my website sometime at JudeMac Forever and say "Hi".

Well, sadly, I ordered this double disk on Amazon and once you have unwrapped the cellophane, you don't qualify for a return anymore.  I found that disc 1, labeled, "THIS SIDE", absolutely will not import to my itunes on my laptop. Ugh, this is uber frustrating, to say the least. I have tried over 20 times with no luck.  Right now I was able to get the command going, only to find out that the first song is jamming my download. I have imported over 500 disks, so I'm familiar with the process.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Hey everyone, thank you so much for your great response to my CDs. Amazon is having a lot of trouble keeping them in stock. They are not ordering enough in time etc... Just so you know the other option is buying them off of Amazon Marketplace. At the top of this is the option to buy them new or used. I sell them directly new on it, (and they are actually cheaper so you can buy both volumes). Hope this tip helps. I've loved reading your responses and reviews. I think it is great that so many of you out there are singing!

It seems foolish to get the download when you can get the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/CD/dp/B000B6N654/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">CD</a>&nbsp;for half the price. Even if you pay for shipping, it is still less expensive to buy the CD.

This was supposed to contain 2 CDs.  It did, but two copies of CD #1, and NO copy of CD #2!  I didn't discover this immediately.  I'm happy to have what I have, but would be happier if CD#2 had been included rather than a duplicate of CD#1.  I'm sure Amazon had no way of knowing!

I am quite certain that this cd was advertised as the 2008 remastered version of two for the show. witch is a double cd. The cd I was sent is the 78 version with one cd. it even says on the back that one or more songs were left of because of a lack of space on the cd. I SAVED A FEW BUCKS BY NOT BUYING FROM AMAZON AND NOW I AM SORRY THAT I DID. So beware when you buy this that they are sending you the cd they advertise. not worth my time to return, or I would..........

Throughout the audio cd it said to use CD4 to see the same pdf files. I constantly opened CD4 but nothing is there. I wish the files were available online or there was someway for me to get them.
