title: Five Stars

text: Good sound quality.  Excellent set list!


title: Only the very best

text: I bought my first reel-to-reel tape which was identical to this item back in Aug. 1965 and lost it in a fire 3 years ago.<br />It is wonderful to find a new replacement.


title: Awesome!

text: It is so great to get some new music from Eddie & The Tide


title: Great Record. TERRIBLE Pressing.

text:
Great album by John Lee Hooker.

Unfortunately, this is a terrible pressing.
There is a huge gouge in the grooves. I bought a second copy and it's in that one, too.

Another re-release rushed to market without a test pressing.

title: Painful to listen to. A big disappointment.

text: While Voice Masters has done some good work on several tunes in the past, this collection is a big disappointment.  His voice is constantly out of time and meter with the new music. The twangy sharp guitar becomes quite tiresome, and is prevalent on every track. The musicians go around the world to do everything but play the melody on each track. I appreciate the work and creativity that was involved to get the Jim and Patsy duets, but it is just not enough to make this work. Maybe it is way past time to just leave Jim's recordings alone. This collection did not do Jim's legacy and voice any favors.


title: It is great

text: This is one of my favorites of Terry Clark.  It is great


title: My Baby's Not Here / In Shadows of The Win

text: This was one of those double-sided radio hits back in the mid sixties.  One has been my all-time favorite ever since.  My Baby's Not Here (In Town Tonight) was apparently never released on an LP, and the flip-side In The Shadows of The Wine album version is not the same recording.  Perter and his band were never better.


title: McCartney Live In London - 2007

text:
I hesitated to buy this dvd, because of no reviews, and almost no description. It has a reasonable price, so I decided to take a chance. I was not disappointed. This is a great concert recorded October 25, 2007 at London's Roundhouse, a few months after the release of MEMORY ALMOST FULL and broadcast on BBC. McCartney is in a great mood, chatting and joking, between songs, with the sold-out audience. Many members of the audience have handmade signs, some of which McCartney reads, and everyone is having a lot of fun. It must have been great to see McCartney in this relatively small venue.

McCartney plays bass, guitar, piano and mandolin. His voice shows it's age at times but he still sounds great.  The band members are the same as on the album. Paul Wickens on keyboards, accordion and percussion, Rusty Anderson on guitar, Brian Ray on guitar and bass, and Abe Laboriel on drums.

 They perform songs from throughout McCartney's solo career and 12 of the 24 are Beatles songs. One of the highlights is an acoustic version of The Beatles' "I'll Follow The Sun". Paul does solo, with acoustic guitar versions of "Here Today" and "Blackbird". They do acoustic versions, with an eight piece string ensemble, of "Calico Skies" and "Eleanore Rigby". The strings also perform on the rockin' "Only Mama knows"

This is not an official McCartney release, and it was manufactured in Argentina, but the audio and video are excellent. A BBC Films + DVD logo is on the top left of the screen throughout the 90 minute concert. There are no special features or menu. The only information is the set list on the back of the dvd case. The dvd begins playing when inserted, which I don't mind. I have several McCartney dvd concerts, and this is one of the best.

title: MOVIE SOUNDTRACK

text: I have a vinyl copy I found in a bargain bin in the early 70s. I'm a fan of the "British Invasion" groups, but the only tracks which stand out in my mind as being good are by The Animals. Being a big fan of The Animals is probably why I bought it in the first place.


title: Lovely Singing/Short Program/One Disappointment!

text:
Nuria Chocq Mampel has a lovely voice. The soprano really illuminates the familiar Falla songs and sings the rarer Lorca pieces better than anyone else who has recorded them.
Christian Locussol is the absolutely brilliant guitarist.
The one disappointment, the liner notes identify the 'Cancion del fuego fatuo' as being from Falla's unfinished opera of that name. It is actually just the familiar song with the same title.
(There is a real need to perform and record Falla's opera 'Fuego Fatuo' based on melodies of Chopin. A tribute by one great composer to another. The composer completed eleven of the opera's seventeen projected numbers, and they are gorgeous. Both Antoni Ros Marba and Fabio Vacchi have created orchestral suites from this material, but a performance with voices would be wonderful.)
The sound recording is excellent, and there are good liner notes in Spanish and English as well as texts in Spanish only.


title: Heavy Cuts and All, A Very Entertaining Performance!

text:
Rameau's jokey mythological opera-ballet 'Platee' (1745) can be great fun in performance. About the Goddess of Frogs and Marshes and her travails. The title role, for a tenor in drag, is probably fun for the performer as well. The music moves from delight to delight.
The current performance, from Aix-en-Provence in 1956, suffers from heavy cuts, indeed most of the ballet music is gone, but we have one of the great conductors of the twentieth century in the pit, and some of the finest singers of the French repertoire of the 1950s. Not a single slacker in the lot, and really elegant delivery of the text.
The sound recording, while not up to current standards, is clear and listenable.
This edition comes with full texts and translations.
There is a bonus of extended excerpts from the 1957 Aix performance of Gluck's 'Orphee' with Gedda, Micheau and Liliane Berton all in top form. All in all, this set is a real winner!


title: Really Exciting Performance/Excruciating Sound Recording!

text:
The more one examines Tebaldi's career, the more one realizes that her reputation for beauty of voice, limited technique, and limited range of repertoire is a myth. She sang everything from Handel and Bach to at least conservative moderns. (One would give a lot to hear her performances of the soprano solos in Bach's 'Saint Matthew Passion'!) Rossini, Spontini, and Wagner were as much a part of her repertoire as the late period Verdi and Puccini for which she was famous. Her Cleopatra in Handel's 'Giulio Cesare' is beautifully sung, nicely interpreted, and she has the requisite flexibility for the coloratura passages. She gets to sing the standard five out of Cleopatra's eight arias. The whole cast is strong. A bass Caeser, as was the norm in 1950. The great Cesare Siepi making a really strong impression, as do Elena Nicolai as Cornelia and the much-underrated Gino Sinimberghi as Sesto. German conductor Herbert Albert keeps things moving along nicely, although there can be no claim here to authentic Baroque style.
The bad news is the exorable sound recording. I am long used to the variable sound of live recordings from the 1950s, but this may be the very worst I have ever heard. Alternately harsh and muffled, and occasionally off-pitch. The performance is well worth it though.
A track listing only. No texts or translations.


title: Excellent Performances/Interesting Repertoire

text:
Listening to the excellent performance of Nono's  early (1952-'53) 'Y Su Sangre Ya Viene Cantando' for flute, strings and percussion on this disc, I couldn't help but think of Schoenberg's famous dictum, particularly apt for the current program, "My music is not avant garde, it is just badly played!". These are superb performances, and they go a long way toward overcoming any prejudice that a casual listener might have to "modern" music. The Nono is the newest piece, and it is 68 years old! Evelyn Pena Comas is the wonderful flute soloist in the Nono.
Most of the works are vocal however, and Ildiko Raimondi has a lovely voice, if somewhat lighter than one usually hears in these Mahler songs and in the chamber arrangement of Schoenberg's "Lied Der Waldtaube" from 'Gurre-lieder'. Although the voice "spreads" at higher volume, this is likely the fault of an overly close microphone than any defect in the voice. Thomas Pernes' orchestrations of the Webern Opus 12 songs are expert. There is also a fine performance of Schoenberg's early instrumental piece 'Ein Stelldichein', notably slower than the one other performance I am familiar with.
Despite the close microphoning for the voice, a remarkably clear sound recording.
Good liner notes, but no texts or translations.


title: A Surprisingly Gripping Abridged Wrong Language 'Tell'

text:
A 'William Tell' in German ? Overture (!!!), Ballet Music and 3rd Act duet for Mathilde and Arnold cut, along with dozens of other large and small excisions. (The third Act duet was a common cut in the '50s. Some very famous sopranos couldn't manage the fiendishly difficult 'a solo' at the beginning of the scene.) Thanks to Herbert Kegel's conducting and fine work from the  Leipzig Radio Orchestra and Chorus, this performance is well worth listening to. Not one familiar name among the East German singers. However, the opera's three big arias are nicely done. (Theodor Horand as Tell, Annelies Schubert-Heuhaus as Matilde, and Gert Lutze as Arnold.) Ultimately, it is Kegel's show. With no bel canto tradition to speak of, and no bel canto voices, Kegel's structural understanding of the scenes that he does include, leads to a dramatically gripping totality.
The sound recording is mostly clear and listenable.
A track listing only. No texts or translations.
Missing the overture? Don't fear! The filler is a fine performance of the overture and ballet music conducted by Toscanini!


title: Toward The Very End of Mighty Careers, But Compelling !!!

text:
I had been unaware that any of the material from the Callas/Di Stefano 1973 and 1974 tours had made it to commercial legitimacy, but this disc appears under copyright and license. EMI had recorded the first two concerts in London, but the powers that were decided that the performances weren't worthy of release. Membran has however seen fit to release the Montreal concert. (I had attended a performance of virtually the same program in Toronto a few weeks before.) By this time the entire upper third of Callas' voice was gone, except for some desperate lunges, but nothing could dim her sense of phrasing, her built-in dramatic urgency and sincere character involvement. As I remember the Toronto concert, she still commanded the stage. You couldn't take your eyes off of her. Di Stefano was more problematic. Word was out that he couldn't sing quietly anymore. As if to prove audiences wrong, he indulged in lots of attempts at pianissimo singing, however, many of these are all but inaudible. One is continually having to adjust the volume up for quiet moments and then turning it down suddenly at one of his forte outbursts. He was still a generous performer, which shines through his worst moments.
Because of the highly variable sound recording, one can't say much about Robert Sutherland's piano playing. There are times when the piano itself sounds like a clunker.
For the record the program is as follows...
Verdi: I Vespri Siciliani- Duet "Quale, o prode"
Lalo: Le Roi D'Ys- Aria "Vainement, ma bien aimee" (di Stefano)
Massenet: Werther- Air des lettres (Callas)
Bizet : Carmen- Habanera (Callas)
  Flower Song (di Stefano)
  Final Duet
Ponchielli: La Gioconda- Aria "Suicidio" (Callas)
Three Italian Songs (di Stefano)
Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana- Aria "Voi lo sapete"  (Callas)
  Duet "Tu qui, Santuzza?"
There would have been encores, as there were in Toronto, but they are not included here.
A highly variable sound recording, from clear and listenable to off-pitch and muffled.
Good liner notes about the singers, and some nice photos, but no texts or translations.
Should these singers have been singing this repertoire so late in the game ? Probably not, but I am still very glad I have this recording !


title: 19th Century Charm and Some Awful Text Choices.

text:
Henry Russell (1812-1901) claimed to have studied composition with Bellini and Rossini. A composer, baritone and pianist, his hugely popular self-accompanied recitals in the U.S. and in his native Britain made him one of the most successful of all 19th Century touring performers. There is much of operatic gesture in his songs, and melodic turns that indeed reflect the style of Bellini, Rossini, Donizetti, Mercadante, Pacini and early Verdi. His song 'The Maniac', included here, is a full blown 'Mad Scene' that could stand beside the baritone mad scene in Donizetti's 'Torquato Tasso'. Several of the songs cry out for orchestration, and one wonders if they were ever performed with orchestral accompaniment.
The drawback is his choice of texts. Some of the worst examples of poetic drivel. Sentimentality wins out over sentiment, but it should be remembered in this context, that some of the greatest lieder of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms were also settings of dreadful poetry.
Clifford Jackson, the baritone soloist here, takes a rather bluff approach to the music. Sometimes he hams it up, and other times he seems to be approaching it tongue in cheek. These songs could do with a more straightforward, less 'acted' approach. (The great tenor George Shirley, likewise overplays 'The Maniac' in his recording on the Albany label.) Jackson's brief interspersed readings from Russell's autobiography are very entertaining.
Pianist William Bolcom is his usual superb self.
The sound recording, given its age (1977) is excellent. The liner notes are full of interesting information, and there are full song texts, The cover design on the gatefold album is really attractive.


title: Shakespeare auf Deutsch, and English Too !

text: Recorded at a concert in 1978 in Berlin, this two disc set features a narration and dramatic readings from Shakespeare in German translation by the actor Peter Fricke. That portion may have little appeal for English speaking audiences, although Fricke appears to be an effective and committed reader. For me, the real interest here, are songs in English, for Shakespeare's plays and of the period, with music by Byrd, Morley, Arne, Vernon, Hilton, Johnson, Henry VIII, Dowland, Wilson, and anonymous and traditional sources. They are nicely sung by soprano Catherine Gayer,  tenor/countertenor David Knutson, and bass-baritone Kieth Engen, with Klaus Hempel and Wolfgang Lendle playing guitars and lutes. Gayer is one of my favourite singers, a rare coloratura with a pretty voice, astounding technique and perfect pitch. No wonder many of the most important composers of the late 20th Century wrote opera and concert works for her. Here she is, at the other end of the spectrum, singing music of the Renaissance. Knutson also has an attractive voice, singing both as a tenor and as a countertenor, in his upper range he performs a beautifully poised rendition of 'Greensleeves'. Engen's English is slightly accented, but he sings attractively.  The guitar and lute performances are exemplary.<br />An excellent "live" sound recording. The liner notes are in German only, and there are no texts for either songs or Shakespeare readings.


title: All Good, But More Tantalising Than Solid

text:
These are entertaining performances from the 2006 Verbier Festival, with the Festival Orchestra, but since the two symphonies are represented by single movements, this is more a tease than something essential to your collection. A training ensemble , of young musicians, the resultant performances are not at all slick, but are full of the sort of enthusiastic energy that really makes you sit up and pay attention.
For the record, the program is...
Beethoven: Leonore Overture #3 (Herbert Blomstedt, Conductor)
Verdi: La Forza Del Destino-Overture (Gianandrea Noseda, Conductor)
Schubert: Symphony #9-Fourth Movement (Paavo Jarvi, Conductor)
Respighi: Fontane Di Roma (Daniele Gatti, Conductor)
Beethoven: Symphony #9-Fourth Movement (James Levine, Conductor-Sondra Radvanovsky, Jane Bunnell,
 Garrett Sorensen, Thomas Quasthoff soloists, with The Collegiate Chorale)
The main reason for owning this might be adding to Radvanovsky's shamefully small discography !
Excellent sound recordings, good liner notes, and full texts for the Beethoven.


title: The 'Vienna' Version !?!

text:
A solid, well recorded live performance of the composer's 1845 version. Adapted to a German libretto, it is performed here in an Italian translation.  Although Donizetti called the work his masterpiece, it isn't really that, but it is certainly a successful, large scale, listenable one.
Since the current performance is from Aachen, I am somewhat confused as to why it wasn't performed using the German text. Elio Boncompagni, the conductor and editor isn't particularly clear in his liner notes on a number of issues. (If you want to find something of the genesis of the work, and its three versions, William Ashbrook's 'Donizetti and his Operas' is the best source.)
In this performance, you do get the cabaletta to Zaide's ACT II aria, composed for Vienna, and probably the last piece of music that Donizetti wrote. Missing is the ballet sequence, also from Act II.
Fine singing from Robert Woroniecki, Monica Minarelli, and Ettore Kim in the three leading roles. Boncompagni leads a lively, nicely detailed account.
There is a full Italian libretto, but no English translation.


title: Halevy Comedic Confection With A Lot of Spoken Dialogue.

text:
Charmer of an Opera-Comique. Although almost a third of this work is spoken dialogue, when the tunes come, they are truly delightful. Written in 1829, the same year as Halevy's 'Clari', unlike that work, which uses Italian models, 'Dilettante' is French in style through and through. Part of its subject matter is the difference between French and Italian singers though. A typical backstage comedy, it is the foibles of singers, impresarios and conductors that is the primary subject here.
The singers are generally first rate, but even when the vocalism isn't perfect, the understanding of French style does much to compensate.
Conductor Michel Piquemal leads a lively account, and the orchestral and choral work is wonderful.
Some of the delivery of the spoken dialogue is loud and over-emphatic, which might have been effective in the theater, but can be annoying in close up.
The sound recording is otherwise excellent. One of the better 'Live' recordings I've heard in recent years.
There is a small booklet, in French only, but the libretto, likewise in French only, has to be downloaded from the Klarthe label's website.
With current techniques, the 82 minute work could probably have fitted onto a single disc, but since it is such a delight, I wouldn't complain !


title: Not As Difficult A Listen As You Might Think

text:
I had heard Czech composer Alois Haba's quarter tone opera 'Mother' many years ago on vinyl. At that time I thought it largely incomprehensible. A new listen on CD has surprised me as to just how accessible  the work is. The orchestral writing is, indeed, cloudy, but the vocal lines seem clear and singable. (I have wondered if the singers are simply inaccurate, and are reverting  to diatonic intervals !)  Cloudy they may be, but the four extended orchestral passages in the opera make for effective listening.
The 'slice of life' plot follows a farming couple, and their children through the years of a marriage. The ten short scenes  view them at various points in their marriage. At the end they are left alone  with their most troublesome child, who proves to be the one that is providing them support in their old age.  The duration of the work is just over 100 minutes.
The singers, questions of accuracy aside, have attractive voices. Obviously the orchestra and chorus of the Prague National Theatre, under Jiri Jirous deserve praise for mastering the many difficulties here.
The sound recording is excellent, and there are full texts and translations.


title: 'Due South' Tie-In Probably Unnecessary !

text: While the first two tracks on this CD, '32 Down On The Robert Mackensie'  and 'Ride Forever' featured prominently in episodes of the TV series 'Due South', the large photo from the series showing Paul Gross in full Mountie regalia on the cover is really not needed. (Although I did appreciate the photo of Diefenbaker the wolfdog !) All of the songs have attractive tunes and interesting words. Gross' voice has a kind of Rock-n-Roll swagger, while Keeley's has a more lyrical folk/country type sound. The arrangements are excellent. ('Mackensie' even includes bagpipes !)<br />The sound recording is generally first rate, and there are full song texts.


title: For Kids ? Not So Sure !

text:
I bought this recording to prep myself for attending a semi-staged concert version of the full opera here in Boston in January 2019. The recording is an abridged chamber version for four soloists and piano. It is stated in the liner notes that the piano part is not simply a reduction of the orchestral score, but a newly composed accompaniment.
The libretto, by James Fenton is an adaptation of Salman Rushdie's children's book 'Haroun and the Sea of Stories', but the text, chock full of clever and erudite rhymes seems to throw too much, too quickly, at the listener. I suspect that  most of it would go right over the head of a child !
Wuorinen's score is an eclectic mix of atonality, tonality, orientalisms, seriousness and fun. On the whole, it is pleasing, but again I wonder if it would appeal to a young audience. (In all fairness to the young folk, the kids in the audience seemed to enjoy Gunther Schuller's sophisticated atonal  idiom in his opera 'The Wise Fisherman' when the same performance ensemble that will be doing 'Haroun' did it a few years back.)
The four soloists project the text with clarity and involvement, and Phillip Bush aces the no doubt very difficult piano part.
An excellent sound recording, a good liner note, and full texts.


title: Lifting The Curse Of The Bambino Brilliantly Limned By Julian Wachner and Bill Littlefield !

text:
Not being even remotely a sports person, I have none the less been collecting the series of commissions by Boston's Landmarks Orchestra of melodramas for narrator and orchestra intended for young listeners.
LIFTING THE CURSE has a clever text by Bill Littlefield, and a really brilliant orchestral score by Julian Wachner, based in part on the melody of the song 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' . As much as I am uninvolved with sports, I did recognize most of the names mentioned, and had no trouble following the narrative. Although the text is Boston-centric,the piece should play well in Pops concerts anywhere in the country.
Littlefield reads his own text with real aplomb.
The performance of the Mozart DIVERTIMENTO in D Major K. 136 is first rate.
The ensemble in the Haydn "Surprise" Symphony is a little ragged in the odd moment, but conductor Charles Ansbacher paces the work beautifully.
The Wachner features The Landmarks Orchestra, recorded at Emmanuel Church, Boston, while the Mozart and Haydn are performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.
Sound recordings for all three works are excellent.
Good liner notes.


title: Astounding Third Stream Vocals !

text:
One of Cleo Laine's very finest. The voice never more flexible, silky and expressive. Fine Third Stream pieces by husband John Dankworth, the under recorded Don Banks, Iwan Williams and an arresting jazz cycle by Sir Richard Rodney Bennett.
Excellent arrangements by Dankworth.
A first rate sound recording by the Philips/Fontana technicians, and interesting liner notes.
A really beautiful cover portrait of the diva !
This one absolutely deserves to be released on CD !!!


title: Poetic Qualities of the "Malibran" PURITANI, Superbly Captured !

text:
A really fine performance of the 'Malibran' version of PURITANI. (Malibran=Elvira in the Mezzo range, Baritone becomes a second tenor, longer Act I trio, the Elvira becomes the lead voice in the "Credeasi misera" ensemble, a final cabaletta for the heroine, etc. ) There are certain performances of operas that capture the poetic qualities of the music, and for PURITANI, this one does just that !
Katia Ricciarelli and Chris Merritt are in top form, although the Mezzo-Soprano range places Ricciarelli a bit out of her comfort zone.  Both singers bring a welcome 'slancio' to their delivery  The rest of the cast is in good voice and bring wonderful attention to the words.
Conductor Gabriele Ferro's concept is slow, broad and beautifully detailed.
A very well recorded "live" performance, without too much stage noise.
Excellent, detailed liner notes in Italian and English, but the libretto in Italian only.


title: Wilhelm Meister Returns To The German Language !

text:
In 1964, DGG sent a team to France to record a set of highlights from Ambroise Thomas' MIGNON with an all French cast, featuring the Lamoreux Orchestra under Jean Fournet. They also sent along a group of soloists to record the same excerpts in German. It is the German set that DGG decided to release in their inexpensive Resonance series.
Irmgard Seefried catches the title character's simplicity and goodness perfectly, and with lovely tone. American coloratura Catherine Gayer as Philine, is one of my favorite singers. In good voice here, she fudges some of the coloratura passages in the Act I gypsy couplets, but aces the famous 'Titania' aria. Ernst Haefliger is wonderful as Wilhelm Meister, and Keith Engen brings the right sympathetic stance to the role of Lothario.
Fournet and his orchestra are past masters of this repertoire.
A good selection of excerpts, but the opera's finale should have been included.
An excellent sound recording, given its age.
A plot summary in German only..


title: Gencer's Brilliant LUCIA

text:
Just when you think you have heard everything possible in the way of LUCIA interpretations , along comes something very special !
Turkish soprano Leyla Gencer's Lucia is far more purely "vocal" than those of Callas or Scotto, yet she too has certain built in dramatic qualities that make this performance much more than vocal display. The Act I aria, and the Mad Scene have seldom been more convincingly done.
This set of highlights includes the role of Lucia complete as performed. It is something of a surprise to hear the middle section of the Mad Scene included, two years before Scotto's studio recording, and four before the groundbreaking, note complete, Sutherland recording.
Frankly, it is no great loss to do without Prandelli's Edgardo and Carta's Enrico arias. On the evidence of what is included, neither is in good voice here.
De Fabiritis is a solid conductor with a sure understanding of Donizettian style.
The filler is a fine performance of the ANNA BOLENA Mad Scene, one of Gencer's signature roles.
The sound recording is not great, but better than many live performances ca. 1957.
There is a contradictory liner note on Gencer's LUCIA performances, first saying that her interpretation was a "one off", but then listing two other productions that she appeared in. The English language is amusingly skewed here. There are no texts or translations.


title: Gorr's Very Grand ORPHEE !

text:
Gluck's ORFEO is generally held to be the earliest opera in the standard repertoire, although two of Monteverdi's three surviving operas, Purcell's DIDO, and two or three Handel operas are now performed frequently enough to give it a run for its' money. It is also probably the simplest opera to realize on stage, and one of the most straightforward in terms of musical realization. Somehow, though, it has eluded a really first rate recording.
We have had, most frequently, mezzo-sopranos singing the title role, but there are also recordings by counter tenors, tenors, baritones and at least one recording in the original range, which was that of a soprano. This is not really the place to get into a lengthy discussion of Gluck's own two versions, for soprano and tenor respectively or the version by Berlioz, prepared in 1858 for the great mezzo Pauline Viardot. The Berlioz version remains the most frequently performed and recorded. The title role of that version has had some very impressive interpreters on disc, such as Kathleen Ferrier, Maureen Forrester, Rise Stevens, Shirley Verrett, Marilyn Horne, and Anne Sophie Von Otter, But in some ways this set of highlights with the great Rita Gorr is the best of all. Gorr was not a perfect vocalist. She sometimes sang just shy of pitch, However, the grandeur of utterance, the sincerity of phrasing are pretty hard to beat. This is a big all out emotional response to music and text that is very exciting.
The hour's worth of highlights center on Gorr and the chorus alone. Charles Bruck finds ideal tempi for all the pieces included. Apparently the rest of the performance had too many technical glitches to warrant release. (For the record the unheard Euridice and Amour were Nadine Sautereau and Edith Selig.)
The sound recording is clear but somewhat harsh.
There are notes in French, English and German, but texts in French only.


title: Rossini In German...It Works !!!

text:
Wrong language not withstanding, this is an absolutely first rate go at ADINA. Sung here in German, conductor Wilhelm Keitel has an excellent cast who seem appropriately involved with the comedy/drama.
Mezzo-soprano Susanne Blattert is a real find in the title role. The voice is really attractive, and the coloratura is flawless.
Not a single cast member is less than first rate.
The sound recording is excellent and there are good notes, full texts and translations.
It should be noted that the same conductor and orchestra have another recording of ADINA in the original Italian, with a different cast. I have not heard it, but I doubt that they are the equal of these fine singers.


title: Beguiling French Style

text:
Adapted by Castil Blaze with Rossini's permission, this French version of BARBIERE omits the secco recitatives in favor of spoken dialogue. It also omits the Lesson Scene, and contains numerous internal cuts.This version was probably also the first time that the role of Rosina was transposed up from the contralto to the soprano range. It is certainly not preferable to Rossini's original, but the current performance thoroughly drips that great lost phenomenon, French style !
Recorded in 1954-55, it features some of the very best singers available in Paris at that time. Lilian Berton as Rosina, Jean Giraudeau as Almaviva, and Michel Dens as Figaro, are all pretty hard to beat.
Jules Gressier conducts what remains of the original score with real verve.
The sound recording is in good, clear Mono.
There is a good liner note, a track listing, but no texts or translations.


title: Long On Charm

text:
When in Paris, under straitened circumstances, with the assistance of Halevy, the young Wagner was hired by the music publisher Schlesinger to prepare chamber arrangements for various configurations of popular operatic scores. Despite his notorious anti-Jewish tirades, he retained a lifelong affection for Halevy because of the older composer's intercession on his behalf at this difficult time in his life.
His arrangement for two violins of music from Donizetti's LA FAVORITE was released on Oehms several years ago, but it is really wonderful to have these arrangements from Auber's ZANETTA and Halevy's LE GUITARRERO for flute and string trio.
Although there is not much in the way of extended musical argument, the melodies of both composers are delightful, and the arrangements are aglow with old fashioned charm.
The performances by the pianopianissimo-musiktheater chamber ensemble couldn't be better.
The sound recording is generally excellent, although there are one or two points where I felt that the flute was mic-ed a little too closely. Fascinating liner notes in German and English.


title: One Of The Best "Traditional" Messiahs

text:
Recorded at Massey Hall in Toronto in virtually a single take, this is among the most convincing performances of the great oratorio.
Utterly traditional (except for the use of a harpsichord-the wonderful Greta Kraus-the only nod toward "authenticity") this is the sort of MESSIAH you would have heard pretty much anywhere in the early 1950s.
In an earlier review of this set of highlights in its original LP issue, I praised three of the soloists, Lois Marshall, Jon Vickers and James Milligan, but was really hard on the contralto Mary Palmateer. I read in the liner notes for this issue that she was seriously ill at the time of the recording session and died shortly after, so I must temper my harsh view. The choral and orchestral (Toronto Symphony) work is superb.
The disc, issued for the 100th anniversary of The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir contains 77 minutes of well chosen highlights.
The sound recording doesn't have much body, but is clear and listenable. (According to the liner notes, the original tapes were missing, so transfers were made from sealed copies that were found of the original LPs.)
There are interesting liner notes, but no texts.


title: Really Great...Except For...

text:
One of the best all around 'pre-authentic' performances of MESSIAH.
Three of the soloists, Lois Marshall, Jon Vickers and James Milligan are absolutely superb. Not the least that they bring to the table is sincerity of interpretation, but the singing itself is wonderful. Many rungs below them is contralto Mary Palmateer. What her clunky, ungainly singing is doing in the same recording with the others is a real mystery. (If only it could have been Maureen Forrester !!!)
MacMillan paces the score beautifully. Among the very best conductors of this work. Beautiful playing from The Toronto Symphony and The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir.
Both of the current listings are of highlights, but the complete recording is out there !,


title: Donizetti Charmer/Rock Solid Cast

text:
Another opera that was once among the favorites in the repertoire but now a considerable rarity, LINDA DI CHAMOUNIX may be naively plotted, but has some of Donizetti's most beautiful melodies.  Written for Vienna as it was, it also contains some of his best orchestration and choral writing. The story of Linda, a gentle peasant girl who journeys to Paris where she becomes a kept woman,(by her boyfriend's uncle no less !) is found and rejected by her father, is told incorrectly that her boyfriend has married another, goes mad (of course) and eventually finds her way back to sanity and home to a now forgiving family, may be out of sync with modern morality, but is very affecting in Donizetti's realization.
This performance, in really good 1950s Mono sound is generally excellent. Antonietta Stella, once past the famous entrance aria "O Luce Di Quest'Anima" in which she is simply too heavy handed, provides beautiful singing and a deeply committed characterization. Her involvement in the several dramatic duets that form the second act is heartrending. She reaches a peak of conviction in the Act II finale. This is a mad scene, but differs from most in that it is not a grand solo scene but essentially a duet (with her friend Pierotto) in which Linda happens to get the best lines.
Pierotto, a shepherd and ballad singer, is beautifully sung by Fedora Barbieri. Cesare Valletti, the romantic interest, is his usual elegant self, although his voice is too light to partner comfortably with Stella's. Renato Capecchi and Giuseppe Taddei are superb as father and roue respectively, and are both in top vocal form.
Tullio Serafin, well before he became the slowest conductor alive, controls the score beautifully.
There are attractive little booklets, one containing interesting notes, and one containing the libretto and English translation.

(better then my old one) Comfortably numb was fantastic on this cd!  i highly recommend it! enjoy the experience, by going back to 1984, and listening to his second solo album. i give it 5 out of 5 stars. what a guitar player!


title: A Fine Return to Form After a Dry Spell

text:
One would expect an album entitled The Sound of Johnny Cash to, well, sound like Johnny Cash. Come 1962, however, it was increasingly difficult to define that sound. On Sun records in the late ‘50s, Johnny had a distinct sound. It was part country, part rockabilly, and all Cash. Guitarist Luther Perkins was no Chet Atkins or even Scotty Moore, and yet, despite technical limitations, built a distinctive rockabilly influenced-style. During the verses he would usually tick-tock back and forth between the root and the fifth, and in the breaks he would either play a simple chord-based chime in the upper register, or a twangy riff low down on the E and A strings (Rock Island Line and Folsom Prison Blues are both fabulous examples wherein he does both in one solo). On bass, Marshall Grant would generally underpin Luther’s tick-tock. Their producer, Sam Phillips, forbade drums, so Cash himself took an interesting approach to acoustic-based rhythm playing. Rather than using bluegrass or delta blues-style fingerpicking, he shoved a heavy piece of paper between the strings and the fretboard, further muted the strings with his left hand, and used his right hand to rake across the strings, giving a percussive clickety-clack. The result was a never-before-heard minimalist approach to country born of necessity: Boom-chicka-boom. The “booms” were Marshall and Luther, the “chicka” was Cash essentially playing drums on his guitar. Add to that Johnny’s lonesome, moaning baritone and you had absolute magic.

Less than 4 years into his Columbia contract, however, the “sound of Johnny Cash” had diversified significantly. His interest in the history of the south, led him to explore new sounds, including bluegrass on “Papa Played the Dobro,” or Civil War-era marching bands in “The Big Battle”. The addition of touring mate Johnny Western into the recording studio brought more complex acoustic guitar arrangements into the mix (see Tennessee Flat-Top Box). Not surprisingly, with big studios and big label budgets, the arrangements became grandiose and over-the-top, too (Girl from Saskatoon anyone?). Most recently, he had released Hymns from the Heart, which apart from Cash’s voice, and one song featuring the newly expanded Tennesee Three (with WS Holland on drums), was entirely lacking the “sound of Johnny Cash.”

One would expect, then, that The Sound of Johnny Cash to be a deliberate return to form. The question is: is it? Opening tune Lost on the Desert, driven by a booming 12-string acoustic guitar, would lead one to believe that, no, Cash has continued to pursue more mainstream trends, this time the popular folk sounds of groups like the Kingston Trio. As the album progresses, though, Lost is seen to be a red herring. What unfolds over 11 more tracks is a return to the boom-chicka-boom sound.

The album themes are familiar, notably the high proportion of breakup tunes. Accidently on Purpose is a waltz where Johnny’s lover marries another; I Forgot More Than You’ll Ever Know tells a similar story, this time with bar-room piano leading the way; and Let Me Down Easy and Mr. Lonesome are exactly what their titles suggest. The highlight might be You Won’t Have Far To Go, which exemplifies Cash’s minimalism, offering a scant verse, chorus, a guitar riff (hardly long enough to be deemed a solo), and a repeat of the chorus. In it, a gambling man laments his greatest loss: "Love’s a gamble and I’m a gamblin’ man/I’ve done everything to make you understand/But the odds are high and luck is running low/Look for me you won’t have far to go."

Elsewhere, Cash returns to his familiar motif of life in the south. Lost in the Desert is yet another tale of death in the desert (see Hank and Joe and Me on Songs of Our Soil). Meanwhile, Leadbelly’s In Them Old Cottonfields Back Home, is a more comforting tale of a mother’s life in the midst of a hard sharecropper’s life (see Suppertime and Are All The Children In).

What is interesting about this album, though, is that it doesn’t just remind us of the sound of Johnny’s past, instead it points the way forward to the future, even serving as a template for his ultimate Man in Black persona. This is notable first in the three crime tales. The first, Jimmie Rodgers’ In the Jailhouse Now (later made famous in O Brother Where Art Thou?), is a cautionary tale of crime and gambling, which, with its upbeat tone and enthusiastic call and response vocals made for a great single. The second, Delia’s Gone, is a brutal, callous murder ballad, building on his infamous Folsom Prison line, “I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die”: "First time I shot her, shot her in the side/Hard to let her suffer, but with the second shot she died."

The third, I’m Free from the Chain Gang Now, is a tale of an innocent man’s liberation, although whether it is literal, or only in his mind is never made clear. What made Johnny so relatable was that he was passionate about justice, and yet always showed an understanding of what it is that makes us do the wrong thing. In these songs, this dimension of his complex personality emerges. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that Cash returned to Delia and Chain Gang to great effect in his American Recording years with Rick Rubin.

His two self-penned contributions also show Cash developing some deep humility. In You Remembered Me, a wild man thanks his lover for being faithful to him. Sing it Pretty, Sue updates his earlier hit Ballad of a Teenage Queen. In Ballad, the talented local girl runs off to Hollywood only to return home because she couldn’t bear to be apart from the humble boy in the candy store. In Sing It, the star (Sue) never comes back. Instead, her jilted lover sits at home quietly supporting the girl he once loved. You can’t help but wonder if this is really a role reversal – Cash secretly wishing that his wife, Vivian, would release him to the life of fame he had found.  More likely it refers to Billie Jean Horton, widow of Cash’s best friend Johnny Horton.  She had recently ended their affair, claiming she wanted to focus on her career… in reality she was frightened by his willingness to leave his family for her and his amphetamine use (she had seen enough of that in her prior marriage to Hank Williams). Regardless, his own compositions reveal the morally complex world in which Cash lived by 1962 – surrounded by fame, linked to his old rural life, a Memphis wife whom he had moved to a big house in California (and to whom he was unfaithful), a ballooning drug addiction and a yearning for the old-time religion of his childhood.

In terms of the actual “sound”, this album satisfies, but is not really the old sound nor the new sound (that would solidify on his next release). Overall, it is a return to his minimalist sound, yet Columbia’s big-studio echo (driven by expensive reverb effects devices), could never match the natural echo found in the Sun Studio’s vocal booth (the claustrophobic tiled bathroom of an old barber shop). Strangely, WS Holland, introduced on Hymns from the Heart, does not appear on this release, so again we’re back to the Tennessee Two complemented by studio musicians. After the blandness of Hymns from the Heart, though, Sound is a breath of fresh air.

4.5/5

title: Five Stars

text: This is an excellent cd.  Love it!


title: A Record!

text: Great album, yes ALBUM, as in a RECORD, from the one and only Johnny Cash!


title: Great resource to help with Bible verse memorization!

text: I grew up listening to these stories and stood on cassette tapes, so I was thrilled to find them for my kids! The songs make it easy for the kids to memorize the verses and the story on each CD keeps them engaged and teaches life lessons for situations they might already be in. The $70 price tag might seem steep at first, but, since you're getting 7 disks, it's actually only $10 per disk!


title: cd..

text: sounds  great.


title: Wonderful and highly recommended!

text: My wife listened to the track "Bullet for vapid Beer" ages ago on YouTube and loved the band, not only is this the track it was from, but it also has the video on it as an enhancedCD. Highly recommended for any Irish Punk fan or any Japanophile in general.


title: A quintessential album from a quintessential band.

text: Better live versions than studio


title: The Great Governor Jimmie H. Davis

text: Governor Davis; rose from a Sharecroppers son in Louisiana to be a College Professor, Movie Star, Twice Governor of Louisiana, Country Music Hall Of Famer, Gospel Music Hall Of Famer, Songwriters Hall Of Fame, Country Music and Southern Gospel Performer and A Dear Loved Friend of mine. This CD contains some of Governor Jimmies most Wonderful and Inspireing recordings. "Sheltered In The Arms Of God" Co-Written with The Dear Lady Of Southern Gospel Miss Dottie Rambo, Is in its self enough, to make this CD 1 of Governor Davis Greatest Collections of his Warm, Heartfelt Recordings of His Unique Brand of Hymns and Southern Gospel. From A Scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this CD a "15".  Enjoy


title: Fits really well

title: PICK THIS UP IF YOU CAN FIND IT.

text:
I've been scouring the internet the past few years looking for this piece on CD.  I am thrilled to have found it.

SKB (Schuyler, Knobloch & Bickhardt) was the second generation after SKO (Schuyler, Knobloch & Overstreet) and both groups were fabulous.  They were one of a handful of 80s groups that came and went and shouldn't have (the O'Kanes, Southern Pacific, Atlanta, etc).

The songwriting talent of these three men alone is outstanding much less the incredible vocals that they lay down.  Every song is a sparkler.  One of my favorites is "Down in the Trenches of Love".

This is truly a find.

text: Waylon at his most mellow.  Loved it.


title: Prompt delivery

text: The CD case is cracked. Other than that, I am very pleased with the order


title: Great Last Concert

text: WAYLON was & is One of My Favorite Musicians. You can't beat His STYLE of Music. This is a Must Have for any Waylon Fan !!!!  The Music is Great, Harmonies are Excellent too....Once You Buy this, You'll be Watching it over & over again as I have. I also Enjoy the TWO DISC CD's in My Truck as well. This is TOPS in My Book.ENJOY !!!!


Pretty decent sound and voice with legit country attitude. Semi modern take even though Carothers dumps on the country/pop sound current in today's sloppy rendition of country music. Could use  a little more Telecaster and less rock tone. There are some good cuts on this CD, worth a listen.


title: A Rare Treasure Indeed!

text: If there was a higher rating for this CD I would gladly rate it as such. For me it was a rare find. There is so little of this fantastic and under rated singer. Each track is a classic. Her voice and the emotion she puts into a song thrills me. The compositions and the lyrics are a rare treasure indeed. She really knows what heartache means. It will definitely be played many times and will remain a favourite of mine.


title: A Great Female Country Performer.

text: I have given this CD a 5 star rating because it is a fantastic CD. Her voice is so appealing and every track is a classic. Her duets with George Jones are a delight. Any lover of country music should Melba Montgomery in their collection.


title: Great Country Female Performer

text: Margie Singleton is among my top 10 country female singers. Finding her CDs is rare. I came across this one by accident. I love the CD and the tracks on it.


title: Rare Duet CD

text: I am a great fan of Country Duets. I have a large collection of Duet CDs. This CD has some rare tracks.


title: Disappointed

text: I was very disappointed with this recording.  I'd love to find a recording with the msic and words...so far no luck.  The price was so low, I didn't want to complain or try to return.  Thanks for asking


title: Great new music.  Best recording since Black album.

text: Music is great.  Recording is clean unlike St Anger and Death Magnetic.  Is it a return to glory?  No.  But it is a solid release worth buying.


title: Loved What I Heard of the Score

text: Disappointed that an audio CD is not available and although I liked what I heard of the score I will not buy in the MP 3 format. Great disservice to a pleasant sounding score that I would have enjoyed in its entirety if the format had been in a CD.


title: Most enjoyable

text: Great artist. Great collection of songs. Great instrumentation on some of the songs. An interesting look into society in the Netherlands.


title: Five Stars

text: Terrific

title: A Unique Aesthetic Experience

text: This is a promising first release. It successfully incorporates electronic and urban sounds with more traditional musical composition. Additionally, there is an amazing blending of different musical styles from different traditions and times that fuses so well that it is never jarring. The lyrics combine a sense of playfulness with seriousness and a liberal dash of dark humor, which provides a deeply satisfying experience. The music itself is also at turns playful, dark (darkly playful?), and serious. Definitely worth listening to: how often with today's music does a release involve such attention to composing a whole product, rather than just existing as a collection of songs? This offers a unique aesthetic experience that satisfies while creating a desire for more of the experience at the same time.


title: Album Perfect

text: Album was in perfect condition, like new. So happy as I have looked for this a long time. Bought one from another seller and it was so bad, I threw it away. This is my second favorite Van Cliburn album (I wore out at least 10 before it came out on a CD). I was given a turntable for Mothers Day last year and I have been trying to replace as many of my old albums as I can. Seller said it was like new, and it is. Could not be happier.


title: Very good music but recording is problematic.

text: The pieces were veryy good and I enjoyed it very much but the recording is not that good. Too much echo.


title: Helps a lot

text: My cats are so much calmer going to the vet


title: The CD was defective

text: The CD was defective


title: MiRtH

text: I love all the songs on this CD, especially the ones sung by Chris Wedin (5 of them).  Amazing!!!!


title: Romance is in the air!!

text:
Okay, judging from alot of the music of today, not everyone would like this album. BUT, I used to have this record, and I lost it. I looked for it for years, then found it on Amazon. It is only a record, unfortunately, not on CD. I don't have a record player right now, but I bought this, because I will buy a record player just to hear this wonderful music again. (There is one other reason to buy a record player and that is "The Commodore Jazz Classics". Awesome dixieland!! only on albums.)

Back to "Love in the Afternoon". I have CD's of The Three Suns, but my favorite of them is this album. The music is soooo romantic, especially, "Love .. Your Magic Spell is Everywhere". I highly recommend this album for those who still have romance in their bones!!!

It is sad to think that most people will never see this album or my review, and they will miss something wonderful.

text: very good cd arrived on time - thanks


title: Nice Mix of Religous Music

text: Good compilation, my favorite track is Majesty! Purchase experience was excellent, the product arrived timely and in excellent condition. CD playback was of excellent standard. No issues!


title: Nostalgic

text: Quick shipping. Great condition. I had this cd, I’m guessing 15 years ago (give or take) and it brought back so many memories once I played it. I still have it playing now as I write this.<br />Thank you


title: Wonderful book

text: One of best books for children ever! Must read!


title: Timely

text: On time in good shape.


title: underestimated

text: I'm adding this review because those that are currently posted undervalue the recording. One review is actually a complaint about delivery of their purchase, which does not really apply. Another is a well written review of the performance and recording, which I recommend, but it gives a poor rating because of the English text that was added because it was performed live for a British audience. Is that a bad thing?


title: Excelente servicio y excelente calidad

text: Buenísima inversión para una edición exclusiva


title: The Spirit of A New Found Land

text: I became aware of the Sharecroppers shortly after arriving in Newfouldland several days before 9/11.  The helped entertain the folks who were "guests" of Newfoundland when their planes (flying from Europe to the US) were grounded for several days following the 9/11 tradegy.  They helped lift their spirits, as the shared the spirit of Newfoundland through their music.  Listening to their songs helped many newcomers understand the journey of this New Found Land.  Listen and enjoy.


title: Highly recommend

text: I ordered a CD for Christmas.  It came very quickly.  The CD was in new condition as described and packaged well.  This was a hard to find CD…so I am very impressed.  I would order from this seller again.


title: Quality used product, very well packaged, fast shipping

text: GREAT seller!  I received my package in two weeks, much sooner than estimated, and VERY well packaged!  It came all the way from Mexico to New York State!  The CD is like new, even though it is used.  I cannot express how much I am enjoying it!


title: Five Stars

text: love it


title: Favorite CD

text: I received this CD as a gift from the artist's grandfather, and have played more than any other CD I own.  I play it at work and at home.  It is relaxes without being boring.  I lent it to my massage therapist and haven't seen it since.  Definitely need a second copy.


title: One Star

text: Fine


title: So glad I found this CD

text: My husband, Chris Wahl, played percussion on this album.  I have been trying to find a copy for quite some time so I am glad to have found a seller.  John Trubee is a talented and interesting musician and songwriter, and Chris (a.k.a. "Wally") has some wild memories of these sessions.

title: Blessing Honor & Praise was okay

text:
"blessing HONOR & praise - A Worship Collection For Women's Voices" is sung by a group of women.  It sounds like a trio.  If your taste in music is R&B, you will like it.  I gave it three stars because I'm not a fan of the R&B style.

The tracks are:
01 Here I Am to Worship
02 Shout to the North
03 You Are My Refuge
04 Draw Me Close
05 God of Wonders
06 Oh, the Glory of Your Presence and Abba Father
07 Above All
08 Your Love Feeds My Soul with Peace Like a River
09 I Will Remember Thee
10 Take This Life
11 Light of the World with Joy to the World!
12 We Fall Down
13 He Knows My Name
14 The Power of Your Love


title: Soothing

title: Rick Astley keeps it turned on...

text:
I'd debated whether to purchase this since there were only two on Amazon available due to the CD being out of production.  However, I'm glad to have purchased it because I like Rick Astley and find this CD to be a solid collection of enjoyable ballads as well as upbeat dance tunes.

I hope Rick decides to begin writing and performing again in the US.  He's got a following of fans here and hopefully will make a comeback here soon!

In Freedom's Cause is an amazing adventure that our family had the honor of sharing.  We listened to this wonderful audio on our way to church each week listening intently to the story of trust, honor and patience in God's provision, strength and sovereignty through the eyes of these brave people in our History. It was agony not to listen further on the trip home, but our rule has always been that we as a family listen and share our church experience with each other on the return trip.  It is amazing to be able to share facts in History with our children!  Thank you so much for these wonderfully done audio stories!  Our family will continue to purchase these as you produce them.  May God Bless you for your efforts of honoring Him!

title: Not the best products the stitching on the side of the hose ...

text: Not the best products the stitching on the side of the hose burst on me only had the product  for two months


title: great CD

text: Replacing this for the 2nd time. People keep borrowing it and not returning.


title: So  many  songs  I didn't  know  were  they're songs.

text: Nice  purchase  a must  have!


title: What a talent

text: The lead singer is such an amazing and charismatic performer the album is awesome . It is more enjoyable the more you listen to it as you learn the bands songs that are not as well known


title: Gary Morris Album

text: I love Gary Morris.  He is a great singer .  There is nothing like good old vinyl records.  This is a wonderful album.  The songs are all great.


title: It didn't work properly.

text: Out of 21 songs it only played the first six. I was very disappointed as I was really looking forward to that music. I fulfilled my return requirement by returning it at my post office the very next day after learning where I had to return it to.


title: Classic Irish folk.

text: Had this on album but played topology much and got scratched up. Will b I y the album again even though I don't have a turntable. Just simply a collectable item. Wish it would be reissued on CD. still there best album.

title: Quick service

text: Very quick service and the product was of a higher quality than I expected.


title: Great cd for my mom she loves it!

text: The 3 cd’s have the greatest hits we all. Love!


title: Beware! Not the original recordings

text: These are not the original recordings of the "Hits of 1967" -  these are non-original cover versions of dubious origin. If they are in fact the "original artists", then they sound like they were done 30 years after the fact. So bogus!


title: So Good for Kids

text: My kids wore out the last CD and now I'm buying them again.  The songs are Bible verses set to music.  They are fun, easy to remember, and they teach values straight from the Bible.


title: Enjoyable collection.

text: Tom Conway's Holmes is a bit more urbane sounding than Rathbone's.  That is, he sounds more like he's enjoying a cocktail while he works a case.  Rathbone's approach was equally sophisticated but more commanding and electric.  However, Conway does a good job.  With Boucher and Green still writing the stories and Nigel Bruce remaining as Watson, the shows are nearly as much fun to listen to as the Rathbone/Bruce episodes.  The price of this collection is excessive.  All but one of the 39 episodes are available as free mp3 downloads online. They are in the public domain.


title: Fun but not Rathbone and Bruce

text:
John Stanley did two seasons of the show. Alfred Shirley appeared for one season (1947-1948) being replaced by Ian Martin for the second season's (1948-1949) first four shows, and Martin being replaced by George Spelvin (Wendell Holmes) for the remainder.

 If you are accustomed to Rathbone and Bruce this will be a bit of a step down. The shows are still entertaining but not so comfortable and enjoyable as Rathbone and Bruce. John Stanley has a commanding voice, unfortunately a little patrician sounding, but comparing favorably to Rathbone's. Shirley, on the other hand, sounds like some wizened old man, grumbling and complaining, and Spelvin sounds befuddled and stuffy.  In my opinion Ian Martin's is the best of the three Watsons.  There is nothing distinctive about his portrayal which I find is a nice counterpoint to Stanley's very distinctive Holmes.

  After Basil Rathbone departed "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" in 1946, Tom Conway signed on to portray Holmes with Bruce as Watson for another season, with Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher continuing as the show's writers. There was talk of continuing the show with Conway and Bruce, as well as the movie series with Conway as Holmes, but it came to nothing and the next year the show moved from California to New York, ostensibly because of production costs. John Stanley and Alfred Shirley were cast as Holmes and Watson, respectively. Boucher and Green were no longer writing the shows and Edith Meiser returned after many years absence. She had started the series in 1930 with Richard Gordon as Holmes and Leigh Lovell as Watson, as well as the first few years of the Rathbone and Bruce tenure. She even wrote a Sherlock Holmes newspaper comic strip in the fifties.

  Most of Meiser's plots for the shows with Stanley and Shirley are rather weak. Also, as she had always done, she has Holmes too acerbic and autocratic.  One wonders why Watson would continue a friendship with someone that treats him like a servant. Meiser always liked to have the two characters bicker, and in a couple of the Stanley shows she even has Watson tell Holmes to basically go to hell. In one show she has Lestrade tell Holmes to go to blazes. As I mentioned above, she had written for Rathbone and Bruce in past years, but they were able to manage the bickering so it was natural and amusing.  Unfortunately, Stanley and Shirley lack the obvious camaraderie of the Rathbone/Bruce years (for that matter the Conway/Bruce year as well. Meiser was no longer writing the show by the second Stanely season, nor was Shirley to return as Watson. The bickering was gone, but the new writers have Holmes so conceited and arrogant it is cringe inducing to hear.

  Of the 220 Rathbone/Bruce shows, 54 are available online, with several partial recordings of bad quality also available. 38 of the 39 Tom Conway/Nigel Bruce shows and all, save one, of the 78 Stanley shows are available online, as is 1 Ben Wright/Eric Snowden show.  4 shows from the early thirties are available as well as a snippet of Gillette's one and only radio appearance. There are at least 52 of the BBC's excellent Carleton Hobbs and Norman Shelly Sherlock Holmes shows, and all 16 of the John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson shows. 47 episodes of  "The Stories of Sherlock Holmes"  staring Graham Armitage and Kerry Jordan in an excellent South African series from 1979 to 1985 are also available.  All are in the public domain and available as free mp3 downloads.


title: Early Rex radio transciptions

text: One really has to be a strong Rex Allen fan to enjoy these radio transcriptions which are not always excellently reproduced. Still, this is some early Rex performances of some, actually quite a few, Western songs. Later, in the 1950s he recorded some excellent albums of Western songs. None of the Singing Cowboys had his vocal range and vocal abilities.


title: thank you

text: excellent


title: Great To Hear JD Singing Live

text: As always, John sings with heart and soul. For any longtime JD fan and friend and for those just learning of him, you will enjoy. I thank God for all these recordings that were saved from concert performances. It is wonderful to hear him share stories in between the songs. Also, check out his "Live in the USSR" Cd.  ...Thanks for the music John!

text: Thank you very much.


title: Incredible fusion jazz!

text: This group of french jazz musicians have conjured up an incredible collection of fusion jazz. I am not a big fan of fusion jazz but this would be one of a few albums that I would love to listen repeatedly from this genre. Francis Moutin's compositions are also always brilliant as usual, and given this is such an early album back in the early 90s, one has to truly wonder how much of a genius he was and still is now.


title: nothing is wrong

text:
Everything came in great condition. It was wrapped in a plastic wrapping, but nothing seemed damaged despite the lackluster appearance. the disc works well, the photo album is also good...

Definitely would buy again from this seller, always nice to have, great as a gift... There's a membership quiz QR code inside, definitely use it.


title: Good Stuff

text: This is a really good CD!


title: Five Stars

text: Exactly as described. Smooth transaction


title: The New Mix Is Great!

text: The Brendan O’Brien remix is awesome. I haven’t listened to the original 1991 mix since this was released. The MTV Unplugged DVD is great too. A total must-have.


title: Happy!

text: Works perfect!


title: Misread Item

text: The CDs were really good, but I misread the item. I thought I was getting 2 DVDs. There were no other issues.


title: From Glory to Glory: Contermporay christian music

text: The music on this CD of contemporary christian music was provided by Jill and Charlie LeBlanc when they provided the praise and worship music for Joyce Meyer conferences.  I had actually attended a conference in Atlanta by Joyce Meyer, and afterwards I had asked her to recommend some music for me.  This was one of two CDs that she recommended, and it was one of the best CDs that I have ever heard.  I can hear it over and over!<br />George


title: Gone but not gorgotten

text: Johnny Ray died on January 22 after a kidney transplant. Was a great singer with a big heart for God and his people. A great loss to the church and me personally

text: Had this tape in 1985. One of my favorites. Can't believe I found it.


title: Not Jewish

text: Not Jewish music.....it is Christian packaged as Hebrew. True Jews don't honor JC.


title: ERNIE HAASE & SIGNATURE SOUND

text: I really enjoy listening to Ernie Haase & Signature Sound.  I would recommend.  I received this item well ahead of the scheduled.


title: Fith time I buy this set!

text: I have bought this set of CD's for everysingle baby shower I been invited. The music is so beautiful and relax for mom and baby it is like a dream. Plus the lyrics are uplifting.


title: Great for Quiet Times and Calming the Soul

text: I was given a tape version of one CD many years ago and I have listened to it over and over.  The title certainly fits.  It truly is full of praise and worship music.  The only aspect that I originally had a little trouble adjusting to is the fact that the music leader speaks the words at some point for every song but after hours of listening I don't give it a thought any more.  Bill Bright has thought provoking comments at the beginning and/or end of most CD's.


title: Excellent packaging and timeliness

text: Some of my all time favorites...will live in my car. Excellent packaging and timeliness.  Thank you.


title: She loves it

text: This was a present for my mom. She loves it.


title: A little challenging, but still a must for Bowie fans

text:
I'm a hardcore David Bowie fan, so there was no way I was going to let this one go by... and the charity seems a good one. Full disclosure, though -- I've listened so far to only the first disc and bits of the second. The vast majority of the bands are new to me. My first and most obvious observation is that nobody is ever going to top a Bowie original (ever). But that's fine. (With the exception of Apocalyptica's version, I've detested every cover version of the great "Heroes" that I've ever heard.) My first disappointment with this collection is that so little of Bowie's output post-Let's Dance is represented. I get tired of the "good old days" mentality here, and to my mind Outside, Heathen, and (to a lesser extent) Reality are all strong works in the Bowie canon, but aside from "I'm Deranged," none are represented here. My main hesitancy about this album is that a lot of the artists here seem to be trying a little too hard to outbowie Bowie. Lots of submerged vocals, electronic overtreatments, bleeps, fizzes, and so on (and I'm an Eno fan, too, with no particular prejudice against these things). But I would have liked to see at least a few of the artists veer from the robotic.

However, I suspect that this is the kind of record that will reward repeated listens. Thus far for me, the cover of "Memory of a Free Festival" is the standout. All in all, a worthy enough addition to any Bowie fan's collection, but anyone who is just discovering David Bowie should stick with the original, at least for awhile.


title: Five Stars

text: than you


title: Five Stars

text: great set


title: Great oldschool compilation

text:
A lot of really hot techstep tracks from the 1997/1998 time frame. For those who likes that era the artist listing says it all. The unmixed cd varies from tech jazz on one end to some pretty brutal darkstep with Origin Unknown's Termination. For those who had an inlet to the scene and heard plenty of good live sets back at this time this cd has several tunes that were quite well utilized, stuff you may not have known the name of or may have tried to find for quite a while.

In my honest opinion well worth the investment.


title: Little compelling beyond Elvis' voice

text: Meh. On one hand, it's Elvis, so how bad can it be? On the other hand, adding some dated sax to a collection of mostly obscure 1960's songs doesn't exactly make them sound fresh. In fact, in many cases, the songs actually sound more dated after the re-producing effort. In other cases, since the songs were not exactly standards to begin with, I was left wondering what exactly was so "new?" Some songs survived this treatment and were OK, but at the end of the day, there's little compelling about this effort. And by the time you hear the exact same piano treatment on "Something Blue" you get a sense that the producer just plain ran out of ideas. To paraphrase, "Something borrowed were those songs my ears knew. And that's why this CD makes me blue."


title: Nice but a little missing.

text: A fine collection. I wish I had been more careful and gotten a collection that had Wichita Lineman, one of his biggest hits. How could they leave that one out?


title: This is an incredible piece of musicianship!

text: I purchased this album because I have been a fan of Juliana Hatfield's for over 15 years... I was pleasantly surprised by exactly how talented Jason Hatfield is! This is all around GREAT album and one that you will absolutely want to add to your collection!

title: Music that speaks to your soul

text: I love Amel Larriuex.  She gives music that's good to listen to when you're feeling down,a little depressed,or just dealing with everyday stress.  Something relaxing and soothing to the soul.  My favorite song EVER is "Don't Let Me Down" and my 2nd favorite song on this album is the eye opening "Danger 2."


title: Nostalga

text: This is a perfectly selfish purchase.  I miss the radio station and I enjoy getting a sort of time capsule of what was on the station at that time period.

title: Great Live Album

text:
This is a great "experimental-ambient-jazz" album. They really work together well with Travis mainly providing the lead melody with Fripp in the background with his ambiance. It is mostly a mellow album, but it does have some heavy and dark sections as well. I highly recommend it.

Also, in response to the other reviewer who claims that this album is a bootleg - I realize that it looks like it is, but it is not. It has been fully authorized by Travis and Fripp, and it can be purchased directly from the artist and the label as well. The vinyl quality is fantastic.

title: Memories made here by the Father of Chicano music

text: This is one terrific compilation of Lalo Guerrero's work. The Father of Chicano music wrote great parodies, and one of the most beautiful boleros, which went on to be recorded by many of Mexico's great singers...Nunca Jamas...never again, will we experience the brilliance of his ability to twist/turn a parody into meaningful lyrics that made a point. This compilation is worth 10 stars and more!


title: Second time I purchased this cd because I gave it ...

text: Second time I purchased this cd because I gave it to a friend who did not know about the San Patricios and the history and legacy they left in Mexico and in the hearts of the Irish. Ry Cooder has lifted many musicians and historical music from obscurity, and this cd is another treasure.


title: Love this cd

text: Love this cd...New Mexico music never leaves one's blood, and this cd took me home. The interview at the end is terrific. Career musicians don't have conventional jobs...theirs is just to make people happy. Well, they succeeded!


title: Yoshio...

text: This cd is great, and am delighted to have it. Yoshio came into my life while I was in Mexico...I had never heard of him here in the states; there, suddenly, was this Japanese/Mexican bolero singer whose comprehension of a bolero's lyrical sense was magical. This was a great find and buy for me!


title: Five Stars

text: One of my favorite albums, this group has yet to disappoint


title: Love it!!

text: I heard this song on my Dance/Electronica music channel on cable and fell in love with it! YouTube is the only one with it right now, and I can't find it to download anywhere!! Great remix (and I'm not a fan of the original either).


title: Five Stars

title: Popular hits from early 2000 redone overseas- Still can not get enough

text: Bought this from the Saturn department store in Germany back in 2006, I still enjoy listening to the songs and several are addicting. Upbeat fitness music. Ladioo will get stuck in your head. Love it.

title: Recommend!

text: Wonderful CD. I would highly recommend it. Great for Worship!


title: A vintage classic rarity.

text: I bought this back in the 1980's if I remember correctly at a record store in Greenwich Village in N.Y.C. I am currently re listening to it as I am writing this. It's been many years since I last heard it. Depending on the sound system and or headphones that you have It's ok. It's sort of like a bootleg and if you like vintage stuff this is definitely something you will cherish. I don't remember how much I spent but to me it's priceless. If you ever see this at some record shop or yard sale and are a huge fan of the band grab it. Hopefully it isn't scratched and they kept it in good condition.


title: Excellent soundtrack, often overlooked.

text: Top notch. What I expected and more.


title: Awesome Album!  Dance & Blues Tracks

text:
I absolutely love this album.  It's been on repeat play ever since I received it.  Favorites are 30 SEXY and LA SONG followed by everything else!

1.  Rain Effect - :34 second Intro 30 SEXY remix. It's a great start to a fabulous album.

2.  30 SEXY - Funky dance track.  LOVE it!  Check out the official MV on You Tube. Great choreography.

3.  LA Song - Another funky dance song,  The MV is also on You Tube.  Can't help but sing along with the chorus. Watch the vid and you'll be doing the hand and hip movements.

4.  어디 가요, 오빠(feat.현아)  - (OPPA OPPA is what I call it)  A interestingly funky song and lyrics, but strangely addictive.  Danceable.

5.  마릴린 먼로 - (BEAUTIFUL is what I call it) A great love song full of rhythm and blues.  I'd love to dance to this with someone who really knows how to fast slow dance.

6.  차에 타봐 - Sexy slow dance song.  This man can sing with the best of them if not even better.

7.  SUPERMAN - Funky dance track.  Interesting lyrics.

8.  알아버렸어 - Part soulful ballad, part dance track.

9.  Dear Mama Don't Cry - Soulful ballad with a fantastic sax solo.

10. 30 SEXY (mix) - Club style remix of the title track.

If you like Rain, you'll love this album.


title: Fantastic Album!  LOVE it!

I have toe Wolf (Korean version) of this album, but wanted the two extra songs Growl and XOXO so I purchased this version too.  I absolutely love it and the two additional songs are just as great.

The only thing that I don't like is that I had the Korean version loaded on my pc and when I loaded this version, it retained 12 song playlist from the Wolf (Korean version), but wrote over the audio tracks with the songs from the XOXO version and added the 13th and 14th songs as Track 13 and Track 14.  It kept the Wolf artwork too.

It's going to be one of those things where if I want both albums on the pc, I will have to disconnect from the internet and manually type in the playlist from each album.  So sad that this is starting to happen so often, that I am beginning to expect it when I buy multiple versions of the same groups album.  At least it wasn't as bad as when I uploaded Shinee's Misconception of You and got the playlist for a Shinhwa album.  At least I'm getting the actual music I ordered.
