This 2-disc CD is a great addition to my Country Western collection.  A great bargain.

Always enjoyed this recording. I used to have the LP which I made a cassette of but since most of my music listening is in the car and we no longer own a car with a cassette player it was time to get the CD. I know I could buy a device to transfer LP's to the computer but I  gave away almost all of my LP's and 45's years ago. I'm not one for opera music but I really like this selection.

This is a delightful recording and musically even better and more fun than their first CLONE. (the whole formating/copyright protection issue doesn't concern me as I don't try to copy or play it in my computer and is not germane to these reviews, but it does seem Sony has gone too far with their solution) I love the originals (songs and instrumentals) and the covers and the sound of these guys playing in their loose, playful, virtuostic, calypso influenced way reminds me of the great stuff David Lindley and Wally Ingram have done... This is happy, fun easy listening yet highly skilled music. My only complaint is that the percussionist Neil Symonette didn't get equal billing. He really helps make this a great recording.

Don't let the technical comments distract you from the important stuff, if you like the great MUSIC these guys make (alone or together), you'll love this one too.

I love to listen to great classical music.  This recording is played with feeling and intensity.  Also the volume is loud even without extra speakers on my iPod.

I heard this at the Newport Music Festival and was glad to find this recording. Excellent performance by one of the great oboists. A pleasure.

David Helfgott plays Rachmaninov with a level of feeling and passion that I deeply appreciate.  His playing has off-notes and sometimes you can hear him breathing or singing along, but such 'nuances' are commonly appreciated in jazz music, and add to the personality of the recording.  Am I a neophyte for appreciating the same 'nuances' in classical music?

Copenhagen Philharmonic together with David Helfgott have created an excellent recording which I appreciate hearing over and over.  I highly recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful performance.  This recording has a  terrific all-around cast and conductor.  I advise that you do not miss it...it is a wonderful experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this record. I knew the songs. I didn't need a vocal. The excellent piano rendition brought the words to mind. Performance was great.

Fantastic!  The sound is great.  The recordings of broadcasts/Live performances do have period correct characteristics, but this doesn't diminish my enjoyment one bit, to the contrary.  Get it. Do it now.

A great recording by this wonderful pianist. I know I will play it often - just to enjoy and relax with, and also as the perfect background music for a drinks or dinner party.

Excellent. This is a heavy weight recording. The listener can hear all of the lines played, and the writing is excellent.

I love this recording, and recommend it to anyone who doesn't already have a compilation of the Toad hits, or to anyone who wants to hear what Toad sounds like these days.

I love the new energy, and the more "live" or organic feel to the recordings.  There is more rock performance energy to these recordings as opposed to the original recordings.
