Here is what people are saying about the Hovhaness: Mysterious Mountain
5 Star Rating  "Transportation to where - I have no idea."2009-06-16
- Reviewed By tillthen from Florida
I first heard this as a junior in college way, way back. I belonged to the RCA Record Club in the '50s, and every month some delicious record would arrive in the mail. Does anyone remember getting Morton Gould conducting Rodeo & Billy the Kid? Wow, so much good music and so beautifully recorded. Why don't they make this into an SACD as they did with others on this label.

Anyway, everything has already been said, but I've got to add something. In the more than 50 years since I received this record in the mail, I've yet to run into anyone who knows this glorious music of Alan Hovhaness. How lucky I was to have some caring music lover at RCA send it to the Club. Where is it that I am taken when I hear the opening measures of Lt. Kije, Stravinsky, too, takes us yet to another world. Thank you Friz, and everyone at RCA for this glorious inexpensive transportation.
 
5 Star Rating  "A Gathering Of Mystics"2009-01-09
- Reviewed By Em's Joie de Weird from Phoenix, AZ
Hovhaness, Vaughan Williams, and Stravinsky came from very different places, but they all shared an ability to write music that expressed the Mystical and the Earlthy in the same breath. Hovhaness' "Mysterious Mountain" may be his best example of that talent, and this LIVING STEREO recording is probably (as so many other reviewers have stated), the best performance in existence.

The LIVING STEREO series includes some of the finest musicians and performances ever recorded (please investigate another Fritz Reiner offering in the series, Ottorino Respighi's "Pines Of Rome" and "Fountains Of Rome"). "Mysterious Mountain" goes on my list of top favorites. It is a marvelous mix at a bargain price.

An odd aside -- when I was a kid, my mother used to take me to Knott's Berry Farm, long before it turned into a slick theme park. Back then, the park featured some amazing 19th Century music machines (literally, gigantic music boxes). I loved those gizmos, but the thing I always wanted to do on that trip was to go on the Mine Ride, a trip into a faux mountain to demonstrate what the old mines might have been like. As we rode through one of the caverns that displayed mineral crystals, they piped in a piece of music that I'm pretty sure was an excerpt of Hovhaness' "Mysterious Mountain," and it captured the wonder perfectly.

That's why I can honestly say that "Mysterious Mountain" is a gem. Add it to your collection.
 
4 Star Rating  "Decent Recording, Especially for the Stravinsky"2008-01-03
- Reviewed By brmerrick3
I can't speak for the Hovhaness, because I'm not a big fan, and I think the Prokofiev ("Lieutenant Kijé"), while fair, has been done better on other recordings. But this was my introduction to "The Fairy's Kiss: Divertimento," and I have to say that even hearing other recordings that I prefer for technical reasons, this reading is terrific. The wild, schizophrenic string playing at two key points during the Danses suisses is a great wake-up call, and the orchestra plays feistily throughout. My only regret is that the recording wasn't preserved better with age, as there is too much white noise for my taste. But if you don't mind that, I definitely recommend Reiner's interpretation of the Stravinsky.
 
5 Star Rating  "Sublime"2007-07-01
- Reviewed By David Carlin from Philadelphia, PA USA
Taking into account Mysterious Mountain. There are some noticable crackling early on, which I attribute to the age of the recording, but the performance is great. Very grand.....inspirational.
 
5 Star Rating  "Try to find a better recording than this. Go ahead, I'll wait."2007-04-24
- Reviewed By saxgod685 from Wappingers Falls, New York United States
At the moment I have over 1000 cd's of music of every sort though mostly western classical, and I have no problem recommending this before any of them. This piece of music by Alan Hovhaness is easily the most simply beautiful thing I have ever heard and never fails to inspire and uplift upon repeated listenings. The performance here by Reiner and The Chicago Symphony is virtuosic and sensitive, revealing the hidden details of this seemingly simple piece of music. This is THE recording to own of this work, no competition. However, don't let this be your only recording of music by Hovhaness. Don't let shallow comments like "All his music sounds the same" or he "re-wrote this symphony 60 more times," keep you from further explorations of Hovhaness' music. Odd that those same criticisms aren't raised with the music of Haydn and Mozart... The performance of the Stravinsky work is equally impressive. The superb solo and ensemble playing of the Chicago musicians under Reiner reveal the characters and colors of this lesser known Stravinsky work. This is a recording I have treasured for years and I have no doubts that you will as well. Highest Recommendation!
 
5 Star Rating  "Fire and Ice: Fritz Reiner's Legacy Lives On"2006-05-09
- Reviewed By Grady Harp from Los Angeles, CA United States
For many of us some of the most thrilling recordings during the 1950s and 1960s were those made by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The magic that happened between conductor and orchestra is legendary. Fortunately we are seeing more of his recordings remastered and made available to a new audience on CD.

This CD remastering of the old 1955 recording is a terrific example. This is probably the most eloquent recorded performance of Armenian American Alan Hovhaness' Symphony No.2 (better known as 'Mysterious Mountain'). Hovhaness created some lushly atmospheric works that have somehow slipped into the realm of 'old style' and therefore are not performed frequently. But this performance of Symphony No. 2 should bring back some to the fold. The recorded sound of this extended poem is lush and full-bodied and Reiner moves the blocks of strings movements like few others can.

Keeping in line with his penchant for embracing new and old works this CD includes an abbreviated but well played 'Divertimento', Stravinsky's own symphonic suite from his Tchaikovskyesque ballet 'The Fairy's Kiss'. This is not one of Stravinsky's more memorable scores and is far better represented in the violin/piano transcription, but Reiner makes it work well in the few moments he includes here.

Prokofiev's suite from 'Lieutenant Kije' fares very well in Reiner's bristling and tongue in cheek reading. This is a romp of a performance and one that should please even the most 'anti-contemporary music' friends you may have! But the glory of the recording is the respect Reiner pays to Hovhaness and for this it is worth the purchase. Grady Harp, May 06
