Review by Josef Loeffler

Album Review: Concertos by The Boston Pops Orchestra, Arthur Fiedler If you’re into classical music with a dash of that old-school Romantic vibe, Concertos by The Boston Pops Orchestra under Arthur Fiedler’s baton is worth a listen. Released in 1980 on Time Life Records, it’s one of those albums that feels like stepping back in time—without needing a DeLorean. It’s classy but not stuffy, and the energy is just right for when you want something grand but still kinda chill. Let me cut to the chase and talk about two tracks that really stuck with me. First up, there’s Violin Concerto In E Minor, Op. 64. Man, this piece hits different. The violin solo grabs you from the first note—it’s emotional, soaring, and honestly? It feels like someone took all your feelings and turned them into sound. You don’t even need to know what “Op. 64” means to get swept away by how lush and dramatic it is. I found myself replaying parts of it because it’s one of those moments where the music says what words can’t. Then there’s Trumpet Concerto. This track flips the mood completely. It’s bold, bright, and has this swagger that makes you sit up straighter. The trumpet here doesn’t just play—it sings, shouts, and shows off a little (in the best way possible). There’s something so satisfying about how crisp and punchy it sounds against the orchestra. Honestly, if trumpets could wink, this one would be doing it nonstop. The rest of the album keeps the quality high, with pieces like Piano Concerto No. 2 In C Minor bringing their own flavor to the mix. But those two tracks are the ones I keep coming back to—they’re memorable without trying too hard, which is always a win in my book. What strikes me most about Concertos is how timeless it feels. Sure, it came out in 1980, but the music itself goes way beyond trends or decades. Listening to it reminds me why people still love live orchestras—you can almost picture the musicians pouring their hearts out on stage. And let’s be real, Arthur Fiedler knew how to lead an orchestra like nobody’s business. Here’s the random thought I’ll leave you with: Listening to this album makes me wonder if aliens would dig classical music. Like, if they landed their spaceship and heard Violin Concerto In E Minor, would they think humans are super deep—or totally overcomplicating things? Either way, I’m pretty sure they’d stick around for at least one more track. So yeah, give Concertos a spin. Whether you’re a die-hard classical fan or just looking for something fancy to play during dinner, this album delivers.
