title: CD is phenomenal, but inside of case arrived broken

text: I bought this CD solely for the tracks released in 2014 (especially "Steal") and am super happy with the quality of the disc itself and the track list.  Unfortunately though, the little "teeth" in the middle (inside) of the case were all broken so the CD doesn't stay in place.  Aside from that, I have zero complaints and still recommend it!<br />Rating I'd actually give: 4.5/5


title: Wonderful CD

text: This is fresh, imaginative  Christian music. I love this CD and the video that accompanies one of their tunes.


title: Excellent, Riveting, & Challenging!

text: Our entire family was enthralled and riveted on the story as we listened to "In Freedom's Cause"!  What a wonderful way to teach our children about their Scottish heritage... AND the importance and cost of our freedom!


title: I truly enjoyed "In Freedom's Cause"

text: I truly enjoyed "In Freedom's Cause", and was pleasantly surprised at how great it was. Heirloom Audio knocked it out of the park again. Engaging, entertaining and informative. I can't wait for the next project!


title: Five Stars

text: Happy to hear truthful historical facts finally being told.,  Well done with excellent actors.  .


title: FIVE STARS - Great, Engaging Story!

text: My four kids (ages 3 to 9) LOVE this series! It is exciting, educational and inspiring. I have recommended it to all my friends who love history retold in an engaging and informative way!<br />Jessie


I knew when I happened upon  the In Freedom's Cause site, that this is exactly what we needed.  Reading aloud has its advantages, but this dramatic rendering blows it out of the water.  My daughters listened intently and couldn't wait for the next installment.  I wanted them to soak it up, but they would've been happy to listen to all of it in one sitting.  Can't wait for the next one!


title: A thrilling adventure

text: We loved 'In Freedom's Cause.'  Everything about this production was top notch.  The actors really drew us into the story, the sound effects had us on the edge of our seats, and the story itself took us on a roller coaster of emotions.  We often found it difficult to pause the story because we felt like we were right in the middle of the action.  I highly recommend this to everyone that enjoys radio drama.  You won't be disappointed.


title: History + Christian Entertainment = Good Clean Fun!

text: Our family listened to In Freedom's Cause on a road trip recently.  The 6 of us were captivated through it all, and that's saying a lot for 2 teenagers, a 12 yr old, and a 7 yr old.  The audio quality was excellent, and the dramatics were outstanding!  We look forward to more productions like this from Heirloom Audio!


title: If you don't have this, you are missing out!

text: One of our favorite stories!  We have listened to it twice on trips from home.  Thank you for making this story come alive for our family!


title: Just what we wanted

text: Perfect, we love our CD


title: Great Entertainment & Education.

text: Your dramatic accounts just get better and better.  I found the "Lee" episode amazingly riveting and have already listened to it twice.  You handled the issues with honor, truth and openness.  Thanks again for a great product of entertainment and education all at the same time.  Thank You to all of you.


title: Great production!!!

text: What a wonderful production--great drama, adventure and on top of all that, great true accounts of godly people.  I loved the first one, but I know like this one just as well if not better, and I'm so looking forward to the next one on Lee.  I encourage everyone to get and share this productions....  Love it!!!


title: Enlightening!

text: The release of this engaging and captivating audio drama was perfect timing for us, as we had come to the Scottish Rebellion in our homeschool history lessons, but did not have a lot of information to teach on for my middle school aged son. "In Freedom's Cause" not only brought this period of history to life in such a thrilling manner, but it taught the valuable morals of staying true to not only your country, your fellowman, but to God as well, and the additional Bible Study especially brought these lessons home. We thoroughly enjoyed the Study Guide that came with the program and looked forward daily listening to the adventures of the characters that this talented group of actors did so well to portray and bring to life! We would definitely recommend this audio program to any other homeschoolers and teachers who are wanting to teach this part of history to their students. It will truly enlighten them and have them thinking about and appreciating their own independence!


title: We want more!

text: We used "In Freedom's Cause" to supplement our homeschool curriculum and everyone loved it!  Great for road trips, too.


title: My 10 year old son loved it !!!

text: My 10 year old son loved it !!! He loved both "In Freedom's Cause" & "Under Drakes Flag". He keeps asking me when the next audio adventure is coming out! He's learning real history in an entertain story format tinged lightly with core Christian principles without being overt or preachy. I'm looking forward to the next one!


title: Swashbuckling Story!

text: The audio book, In Freedom's Cause, is exciting!  As I listened to it, I was on the edge of my seat because the story and the narration were one of the best audio dramas I have ever heard.  I love William Wallace and how he was so heroic in his duties.  It is amazing how you put the action, drama, and sound effects in this audio story, and this story plays an important role in Christian history.  Keep on producing the Henty books!<br />~Elijah Sprague, age 11


title: Better than the book!

text: I bought this for my nephews for Christmas.  Their dad is not really one for radio dramas, but on the 10 hour trip home the boys asked if they could listen to it.  My sister said her husband was so into it he was driving slower up their driveway so the trip would not end before the CD!<br />I loved the book In Freedoms Cause, but the drama was even better than the book.


title: Awesome audio

text: With Lee in Virginia is an awesome audio production. It has the best dramatization of any audio drama that I've ever listened to.  My family and I enjoyed this immensely. We listened to  the whole audio at once. I homeschool my kids and this makes learning history fun and exciting. I've bought every Heirloom Audio production to date and never have been dissappointed. We can't wait until the next audio drama is released.


title: Truely Amazing Theatrical Production!!

text: This drama is amazing. My children and I love it! We had to listen to the whole thing at once. My kids listen to it over and over. I'm so glad that I do not have to worry that when listening to this that they won't be hearing anything but good character building traits. This makes history come alive and be exciting. Please continue to produce more of this kind of audio productions Heirloom Audio. I will definitely buy every one they produce!!!


title: Excellent story!

text: As a descendent of Robert the Bruce, I was very interested to listen to the audio version of In Freedom's Cause.  I had read the book, but the audio version really brought the story to life in a way that was very accessible to the younger children.  The acting, music, and production quality were superb, and right up there with other big name audio drama productions.  Highly recommended!


title: The Best Audio Dramas I've Ever Heard

text: This audio drama is amazing! The sound quality is superb and we really enjoyed listening to it all the way to Syracuse, NY and back.

My children love to listen to dramatized historical fiction. This is professionally done....You will not be disappointed. My children from 10-25 ...all love it!


title: Wonderful Family Audio Book

text: Our family enjoyed listening to In Freedom's Cause, and learning the true story of William Wallace.  The actors made the story come alive and we could not wait to listen to the audio book each day.  Thank you for publishing such wonderful stories about true heroes.


title: Great 2-lp vinyl set!

text:
I have owned a copy of this vinyl 2-lp collection since a teenager (that I bought when this promotional album first came out).
I don't remember the exact year, but it was 1969 or early 70's when radio station WRKO in Boston offered this fantastic good sounding oldies compilation.

They are hard to come by, but worth a reasonable price if you are a vinyl collector.

About the music:  Every cut is the original recording,  no re-recordings here,  and there are some real treats, for example, the Crimson & Clover version by Tommy James & the Shondells is the longer 5 minute plus version

Here's the track listing:

Side 1:
1. House of the Rising Sun - Animals
2. Happy Together - Turtles
3. Girl Watcher - O'Kaysions
4. Sweet Little Sixteen - Chuck Berry
5. Simon Says - 1910 Fruitgum Co.
6. I'm so Lonesome I could Cry - BJ Thomas
7 Incense & Peppermint - Strawberry Alarm Clock
8. 96 Tears - ? & the Mysterians

Side 2
1. Hush - Deep Purple
2. I Love How You Love Me - Paris Sisters
3. Sweet Pea - Tommy Roe
4. Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley
5. Grazing in the Grass - Hugh Masekela
6. Since I Don't Have You - Skyliners
7. La La Means I Love You - Delfonics

Side 3
1. Monday Monday - Mamas & the papas
2. I'm Your Puppet - James & Bobby Purify
3. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
4. Kind of a Drag - Buckinghams
5. Barefootin' - Robert Parker
6. Will You Love Me Tomorrow - Shirelles
7. Hold Me Tight - Johnny Nash
8. Green Tambourine - Lemon Pipers

Side 4
1. Crimson & Clover - Tommy James & the Shondells
2. Do You Believe in Magic - Lovin' Spoonful
3. Papa's Got a Brand New Bag - James Brown
4. Suspicion - Terry Stafford
5. 16 Candles - Crests
6. Expressway to Your Heart - Soul Survivors
7. You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling - Righteous Brothers

All Great Music!

A note on the listing on Amazon,  I just noticed the pictures associated with this "Volume 2" feature pictures of both the Volume 2 AND the original Volume 1.  There may be some confusion on this listing!
The playlist I presented above is for the 30 Now Goldens VOLUME 2 - this goes with the black & white album cover depicting a couple standing in front of the Paul Revere statue.
The other album cover displayed in this listing which has a background of orange & red and people apparently grooving out to the tunes is the 30 Now Goldens VOLUME 1 - BUT, it's not called Volume 1 because I guess they didn't know there would be a second volume!

So be sure of the lp set you're buying!  This listing is a bit confusing, you might want to clarify with any seller you purchase from the volume you are receiving.

And not to complicate anything any further, but WRKO put out a third compilation set (and equally as great as the first two sets),  but that set was called the WRKO Hall of Fame...  all three sets were released on Post Records & produced by Buzz Curtis.

text: Live performances, vigorous but a bit sloppy. "Ma Vlast" is played out of order, starting with 'Vltava."  This was recorded during the Prague Spring, and the nationalistic enthusiasm is palpable. The performance is nevertheless fairly messy.


title: If this album was ice cream, I would have gained two hundred pounds by now

text: Not as killer beginning to end as their 7-song EP (Shixtupu Jinrai), this full-length offering from cute-metal outfit Fruitpochette is still, nevertheless, a supremely entertaining blast of great songwriting, face-melting instrumentation, and the tag-team vocals of Teratani Mina and Azuma Shiori. It's probably not for everyone, but it's turned into my favorite guilty musical pleasure of the summer - one of those rare albums that I listen to repeatedly, often several times a day. It was worth every penny of the forty-three bucks (!) I spent to get it. I just wish they would perform with a live band instead of backing tracks (and do a U.S.tour), but you can't have everything, I guess.


title: Don't forget about this one

text: Very unique enjoyable record.  Political overtones can be disregarded; it's instrumental.  Sadly these one-of-a kind acts of 30 years ago are falling into obscurity.


title: Iron Cross:  Florida's Best Kept Secret

text: I use this product for scaring away guests who have overstayed their welcome.  This creative effort is an integral part of the Florida prog. metal and more general Florida '80s metal scene, a strong scene at that.  This band is pretty obscure, particularly from being up Pensacola way.  Standout track is "Mistress of the Dark."

title: Forgive them, for they no not what they do--or do they?!

text:
This film set in Italy towards the end of WWII features the relationship between a local "concentration camp" for Jewish children and a nearby convent dedicated to freeing inmates by devious means and smuggling them away out of the neighbourhood.

The transition from an Italy under Mussolini, closely allied to the Nazi regime, to one rebelling against the tyranny of Nazism by the populace, is crucial to an understanding of the story.

At the commencement of the film the camp is in full control from the Italian military under the command of Major Spoletti (Ronald Lewis) who has a lenient approach to the goings on there. This all changes with the importation of Nazi Colonel Horsten (Albert Lieven), a cruel, complex character hell bent on carrying out his duties to the letter, ably abetted by his Nazi right-hand man Lt. Schmidt (Peter Arne).

In the camp hierarchy Major Spoletti falls between the two Germans providing an irritant to both and in particular the Colonel himself.

The Covent is resolutely led by Mother Katharine (Lilli Palmer) with her faithful band of followers, save one who fears both for the safety of her fellow sisters and to some degree at odds with her faith. Despite the increase security at the camp the nuns continue their mission of mercy with increasing tension from the Colonel's surveillance that puts in peril sympathisers for the nun's cause well outside the convent itself.

The film should challenge our understanding of conflict no more relevant than in today's world of racial intolerance and growing demonstrations of anti-Semitism in Europe.

An outstandingly scripted, directed and acted masterpiece, at times almost too tragic to bear.

You were once a child,
remember that, and
before that--?

And now you are a man
and in possession of a loaded gun
with which you kill men, women and children--
and for what--in the name of some ideology,
or simply to kill for killing's sake?

Remember, you were once a child
as defenceless as those you slaughter with the gun,
but understand this, death is the ultimate reality
we all have to face, with the total
of our earthly conduct at our backs.


title: One of the greatest landmarks in music's recording history

Haydn Complete Piano Trios Beaux Arts Trio

Meneham Pressler (pianoforte)
Isidore Cohen (violin)
Bernard Greenhouse (violincello)

The recordings were made in Switzerland between 1971 and 1976. This Philips compilation was released in 1991.

The fact that these discs are still available speaks for itself.

On Amazon UK the opinion is unanimous--all ten reviews have 5 star rating and I would wholeheartedly endorse this assessment. The picture is slightly different on Amazo.com with one dissenting voice giving a single star. (See my note in the comments section.)

Amazon themselves do a great job here too by giving a comprehensive listing of the trios featured, a luxury not always afforded their product data.

The discs are neatly packaged in 9 paper sleeves with an accompanying, informative 70 page booklet in four languages.

The title "Complete Piano Trios" is comprehensive rather than strictly accurate for two main reasons. First, the authenticity of some of the earlier works is open to debate. Second, the earlier works were written for harpsichord, the transition to piano (more accurately foretpiano) coming at around Hb XV11 within the mid-1780s.

In my review of the Joseph Haydn Piano Trios Vols. 1 & 2 Florestan Trio, 22 Dec 2011 I remark: With all this in mind one often senses a lack of adventure when groups come to record the Haydn Trios--after all, they have only to step back a few paces from "Gypsy Rondo et al" to confront some of the finest of Haydn, as in the D minor No.23 and E flat No.22.

The Beaux was the only collection of the trios that addresses this salient point. In more recent years we have a notable contribution from the Haydn Trio Eisenstadt who record 39 trios in two box sets each containing four discs.

Unfortunately, there is no comparable collection of the trios on so-called period instruments.

In his The Piano Trio (O.U.P. 1990, Cahp. 5, page 97) Basil Smallman writes: The repertoire gained by the piano trio during the Viennese classical period up to the death of Schubert, though high in quality, is relatively modest in size. As a result largely of the genre's delayed origins, no more than two dozen first-rate trios produced (half of them Haydn's last works in the form) etc. . .

An earlier reviewer (Marcolorenzo) remarked on Robert Schuman's negative comment in respect of Haydn, which went something on the lines that the older composer had little or nothing to offer cotemporary composers of the Schuman era. This is quite extraordinary from the writer (Schuman) who quickly noted Johannes Brahms as a flowering genius. Brahms had a more enlightened view of Haydn who could be said to have informed the younger man in many aspects of composition not least the piano trio itself. (Sample the fine Haydn Hb.,XV.22 in E flat to get a whiff of Brahms!).

One would need many pages to do full justice both to the trios and to the Beaux Art Trio's rendering of them. As it is these recordings may be seen as one of the greatest landmarks in music's recording history.

title: First CD recording steps along the Eternal Road.

text:
This is a useful 70 minute long disc of excerpts from Weill's epic opera/oratorio. It is the first ever recording of any of the Eternal Road, a work for which there has up until relatively recently been scarcely any performance tradition. There is a DVD of the 180 minute long exemplary Chemnitz production. The main drawback to the CD is that there is scarcely a single word of spoken dialogue. It would have been better if some of the dialogue that occurs between biblical scenes was included, and in particular the dialogue that forms the opening scene.

In the spoken opening scene a synagogue community is surrounded by hostile forces during Krystalnacht or similar happenings, a scenario that exists throughout the work. One of the characters we are introduced to is the Adversary, a substantial spoken role, whose critical voice recurs from time to time throughout the work. The community decides to perform their history in order to educate a 13 year old Jewish boy, from Abraham calling, to King Zedekiah's scene with Jeremiah and the King's decision. The biblical enactments are mostly sung throughout and are interspersed with spoken dialogue between members of the synagogue congregation.

After the spoken dialogue that opens the work, the Rabbi starts to sing and the score's glorious musical opening unfolds, leading into the first biblical scene with Abraham. This first music along with the opening spoken dialogue set the tone of the magnificent epic that is the Eternal Road. Both this opening spoken dialogue and the opening music are excluded in the CD. It opens with the Abraham and Isaac on the mountain.
Excerpts are chosen to convey a sense of continuity but the scope of the CD is greatly reduced by excluding of most of the spoken dialogue. In particular, the climactic spoken biblical enactment with Jeremiah and King Zedekiah is excluded from the CD. The exclusion of the opening and concluding biblical scenes rids the CD of much of its dramatic context. The CD conveys neither the epic nature of the work nor the relationship between spoken and sung text. There is meant to be spoken dialogue between biblical enactments.

On a musical note, on the CD powerful orchestral passages come from nowhere. Moses has powerful arias but there is no sense of large timespan such as in the DVD of the Chemnitz production. On the CD the orchestra and choirs are excellent. The solo singers are generally good but occasionally variable, alongside a top Berlin orchestra and the wonderful Ernst Senff Chor. The oboe and flute playing is also wonderful. However, partly because of contextual dialogue, they do not come over as members of an endangered synagogue community. Hannah Wollsclaeger, a wagnerian singer, gets hardly anything to sing. In the Chemnitz production everything is done with utter conviction and something very special is achieved. This CD is however a worthwhile first recording of some of the Eternal Road in English. From November 2016 there will also be a 105 minute long version of excerpts from the Eternal Road in English entitled the Road of Promise.


title: 3 inch diameter CD/EP from Daniel Johnston side project

text:
Great little 4 song CD/EP. And when I say little, I mean little. It is 3 inches in diameter.
 Because of size, it will play in most cd players, but not all.
Highlight of cd for me is "Long Lost Love".
The photos attached to this review is of actual item, the 1st pic is of the actual 3" CD, and the 2nd pic is of the 3" CD next to a normal sized CD for comparison.
 Highly recommended for any Daniel Johnston fan or completist. RIP Daniel.

title: The Bomb on the Cover is Apt.

text: Do not be fooled by any shill reviews, this show was a disaster in its commercial off-Broadway run last fall. As a matter of fact, they were so desperate for audiences that they told people how to get half-price tickets in the famous New York times ABC ads; absolutely unheard of! The score is a mish-mash of derivative music aiming to be satirical and lyrics that (as one critic noted) "have a distressingly casual sense of rhyme." Having suffered through this show (luckily on a free ticket) the only saving grace of this recording is that one will be blessedly free of most of the book, quite possibly the stupidest seen in a "professional" musical in a generation; yet even with being blessedly ignorant of the story's shortcomings the score to this is all but unlistenable. Look up Variety's pan of this show online and you will see it actually contains the phrase "bring barf bags." Buyer beware.


title: absolut hit

text: Ania perfectly blended classic jazz with very lyrical and sensual words.


title: Great service

text: Liked CD


title: Not really my cup of tea, but...

text: I suppose if you're into jazz standards, you might really like this.  The band is very accomplished, and the interesting variety of mostly pop singers trying their chops on these chestnuts/torch songs are very committed and do themselves credit.  I found Bjork's performance to be by far the quirkiest, but I'm not that familiar with her work, so that's not too surprising.  A great listen, if you're into this kind of music.


title: The first female rap group on wax!

text: If you like "Funk You Up," you'll love the rest of this. And it's cool to hear Angie Stone at the very beginning of her career when she was better known as an MC than as a singer!

title: Possibly the Best Of KV Yet...PowerPop For Today's Listeners

text: Whether you've known about Kyle Vincent for a while or are new to his music, you won't be disappointed with his latest creation, Whatever It Takes.  There's something for everyone:  the peppy, happy tunes, the belted out ballad, the songs about life and love and our place in this world.  Kyle's music is your favorite classic pop with a current twist.  You'll want this one with you on your next road trip so you can sing along, tap the steering wheel and sift through your favorite memories as they fit into his songs.  Kyle's done it again!


title: Passionate, soulful and touching....go on a Detour with Kyle Vincent

text:
Have been listening to Detour so much since I received it, and can't recommend it highly enough. Every single song is a beautiful journey that you can't tear yourself away from. The arrangements are so carefully planned and thought out. Varying keys, the falsetto sprinkled throughout, differing time signatures and sometimes surprising extra notes/lyrics/hidden gems in each one...this CD has it all. You'll sing at the top of your lungs, you'll get chills and goosebumps, you'll gasp out loud, you will find a piece of yourself in every single song.

Kyle Vincent has the ability to craft a song that leaves an indelible imprint on you and your heart.  You won't want to miss this collection.

title: A Really Good Album

text: I bought this CD after hearing this group on internet radio from the UK, and I was not disappointed.  The songs, while mellow, are very strong, and I find that I can easily listen to the whole CD without wanting to skip over some of the songs.  I think that the voice of the lead singer is brilliant.  This CD is definitely something that I am recommending to all of my friends here in the states!


title: Songs of the West

text: I have the old album of this and have been hunting for years for a CD.  It is one of the finest of vocals for the old "Cowboy Songs" turned into a fabulous edition of evocative western music. I hope they cut a CD soon, because it is the best of the Norman Luboff Choir.

title: Knocked Out!

text: In a world of plastic music, Jahn Xavier and the Bowerytones offer flesh, blood and bone music, music to take your pulse by, music to get wet by.  Masterful!


title: Excellent album, should be on your playlist!

text: Love this CD, catchy, REM-ish (no not trying to pigeonhole them, they definitely have their own unique sound!) songs which should played daily on the radio. Love the vocals and the steady, trance-inducing guitar work. They're definitely on my daily playlist. Also check out their great album "Life in Antarctica."

Very touching and incredibly interesting anime, sensual, and imbued with such kindness and tenderness that is simply not possible not to laugh, cry, or experience some other moment, no fake feeling. Music and fully complies with panache. One of the best OST. I RECOMMEND. AAA I cried =))) !!!


title: Cracked

text: The cd container came broken. All the little things that hold the cd in the case were broken off. I’m not too upset about it just because I bought it for a collection plus it came in the little cardboard cover and poster, which are both in good shape


title: Medium Tempo Mellow is a Good Thing!  A Top Pick from Future of Forestry.

text: A carefully constructed album, amazing melodies and lots of detail in the sound.  The only unnecessary track is "Time after Time" which interrupts an otherwise mellow but not dirge-like listening experience.  Future of Forestry has a history of being awesome, (I have 2 other albums) so I expected greatness and greatness is what I got!  The lead's voice is pitch perfect, and thank goodness the rest of the band understands music, and what is pleasing to the human ear, too many other bands these days do not understand so much as a chord.


title: Exceeds EVERY other recording I've heard for the fourth movement

text:
The first three movements are interesting rather than moving. They have fresh ideas and personal insights from Chung but the orchestra sounds curiously cautious. I would give this recording 3 stars for these movements only.

But the 4th movement is absolutely transcendent. It is more intense and explosive than any other recording I've heard (I own all the usual suspects including Furtwangler Bayreuth, Karajan 60s, Bernstein 70s, Solti 70s, Szell, Barenboim, Hogwood, Gardiner, Harnoncourt, Zinman,  Norrington, Chailly, Rattle Vienna and Berlin, etc). The whole team, especially the choir, sounds like they are possessed by something. They pretty much redefine the word "incandescence" here.

Lately I have been re-listening to a lot of recordings of the 9th and nothing comes close to this recording for this movement. For the 4th movement only, I would give it ten stars.

Tastes vary and reviews are subjective. But in this case, I am certain you will agree with me once you give a good listen to the 4th movement of this recording. Skip the first three though - you wouldn't miss anything :-)


title: Astonishing Clarity

text:
I recently heard Brendel's 70s recordings of the "famous" Beethoven sonatas first time in quite a few years (I heard them before). Initially, I was not moved. It sounded like he was just playing the notes. As I listened more attentively, however, I started to get impressed. Clarity is the key word here - the clarity of playing and intention. No detail is too small to Brendel. Every marking by the composer (staccato, legato, crescendo, decrescendo, diminuendo, etc) is observed with utmost care. He is one of the few musicians who understand the importance of clearly differentiating between forte, mezzo-forte, and fortissimo (and varying levels of piano in that matter). It also appears he painstakingly prepared the voicing of certain chords so they sound in very particular ways. Listening to Brendel is like watching familiar movies through an HDTV. Compared to his playing, Ashkenazy glosses over quite a few details even though I love his romantic view of the works. Brendel's Beethoven is like a house solidly built inside and out, with every nail firmly hammered in. In comparison, Ashkenazy's is like a house that is glamorously painted outside without as much craftsmanship committed inside.

Perhaps the downside of Brendel's approach is that everything sounds too intentional. It's as if Brendel pushes the score into my face, pointing at notes and markings for me. More imagination and spontaneity may have helped. But no one can deny this is a faithful materialization of what Beethoven wrote, astonishingly executed. Of course you can supplement Brendel with the Russian guys such as Gilels, Richter, Horowitz and particularly Kissin, whose rendition of Moonlight sonata defies any comparison. They truly know how to conjure up a perfect storm or squeeze every drop of juice from the score. But it would be misleading to think Brendel delivers no emotion from these sonatas. After all, the emotions are already in the music when played right. And no one knows more how to play the music right than Brendel does.


title: Comparison between Rosen's and Brendel's

text:
Both Rosen's and Brendel's are great recordings which testify their unquestionable musicianship. But their views of these monumental works couldn't be more different. Rosen tries to bring the emotion and meaning of every bar to light. Brendel on the other hand chooses to hide inside Beethoven's subconscious. Rosen is explicit. Brendel  suggestive.

The first thing I noticed in Rosen's is his bright, immediate tone. This tonal quality serves his voluptuous interpretations well. Loud passages are thunderous and percussive. Quiet ones are unmistakably lyrical. Transition from piano to forte (or from forte to piano) is sudden and dramatic. His piano shouts, stomps, moans, and sighs with the music. And you are right - Rosen here reminds us of the great Horowitz in every way.

Brendel is on the other end of the interpretative spectrum. He never bangs on the keys. His careful voicing of certain chords always makes them sound just the way he wants. His fortes are incisive rather than explosive. In slow passages, you get to meet Brendel the hypnotist. He truly knows how to create long arch-like lines while expressing the hidden nuances. Unlike the ever flexible Rosen, he keeps his pulse rock steady. Combine all these qualities with his delicately veiled tone and you are taken to the world of the subconscious.

There is no point in trying to choose between the two recordings. The lights they shed on these works are so different they are like two different movies based on the same story. Stick to only one then you will miss a lot.


title: Warning - This Is NOT Quintet / Sextet with Milt Jackson

text:
There's a strange "Editorial Review" comment on the amazon.com site that says this is "the first time this LP has appeared on CD with it's original cover...". (The cover being Miles on the phone and a small boy in a doorway with a trumpet).

In fact the tracks on this disc are NOT those of Miles Davis and Milt Jackson "Quintet / Sextet". Please don't be confused into thinking this is the actual Prestige release from 1955, as I was.

The tracks on this compilation are in fact:

1-4 Little Melonae, Budo, Sweet Sue Just You, and Two Bass Hit - from " 'Round About Midnight".

5-8 On Green Dolphin Street, Fran-dance, Stella By Starlight, Love For Sale - from "Kind Of Blue"

9-11 On Green Dolphin Street, Bye Bye Blackbird, Bye Bye (Theme) - from "Friday Night at the Blackhawk".

Same musicians and exact session dates as those original releases.

No sign of Dr. Jackle, Bitty Ditty, Minor March, or Changes from the original Miles/Milt Jackson release, Quintet / Sextet.

Just the usual standard of record company ignorance? (in this case "Essential Jazz Classics")  or an attempt to rack up some accidental sales? Either way, it looks like amazon in the UK will give me a refund.

text: Buyers beware - these are later stereo re-recordings. Not recommended for those who look for the original 940s / 50s recordings.


title: why wasn't she the sensation Sutherland was?!!!

text:
Listening to this CD, I am amazed at the brilliance of the coloratura, the sweetness
and perfection of the singing, and above all the clarity of enunciation and
meaning imparted to all these selections. That NY and the world went gaga over Sutherland
when an infinitely superior soprano who was cultivated on home turf was simply a routine
house performer for over three decades boggles the mind!  I hear her in the late 1980s
and she was still spectacular. Thank goodness there are a few (alas, only a few) souvenirs
of America's answer, on equal terms, to the wonderful and much-recorded Rita Streich, neither
of them mushy-mouths!


title: very good

text: yet another very good album by Subtle. this one isnt as good as For Hero: For Fool in my opinion but it is still very very good. this band has redefined music


title: Excellent!

text: This is an excellent buy. The ASMF proves to be an outstanding Mozart-orchestra. Symphonies no. 36 and 40 are among my favorite symphonies now. The only downside is the break-up of Symphony 39, but despite that, I really recommend this one!

title: A deeply-satisfying roller-coaster of emotions

text:
Maria Schneider - "Sky Blue" (audio CD, 2007)

This is the latest CD by a modern jazz orchestral composer/arranger/conductor who has already deservedly established a great reputation.  It contains a set of 5 separately-commissioned pieces, each with its own very distinct and distinctive character.  Maria's own liner notes provide detailed information about how they came to be inspired and created.  The first, "The 'Pretty' Road", with a particularly attractive central theme, reflects happy childhood memories.  The second captures flavours of Peruvian music and rhythms, while the third is a ruminative piece framing Rich Perry's tenor saxophone playing.  "Cerulean Skies" celebrates the joyful arrival of migratory visitors to New York's Central Park.  Finally, the title piece features Steve Wilson's soprano saxophone over rich orchestral writing reflecting a mood of deep personal sadness but an eventually uplifting realisation.  The musicians in the orchestra - most of whom have worked with Maria before - perform superbly, to do justice to her excellent material.  Bob Wright, UK


title: Masterclass in swing.

text: Wow, I really enjoy listening to this CD over and over again. If you want to learn how to swing listen to this, it's like attending a masterclass on swing that I think every musician should own. Every musician swings, you could hear it in every details of the phrasing. Frank Sinatra with Basie, what a combination! Surprisingly you want hear all the most familiar Frank Sinatra tunes on this album. Highly recommended.


title: rock licks

text: You can hear favorite Rock guitar licks from Hopkins on these early records. I usually prefer electric, but his fluid acoustic<br />work and good vocals are very satisfying.


title: Great Holy worship.

text: This has been a great worship CD!!

title: Perfect

text: A little bit expensive but since it's sold out everywhere else this is what I had to opt for. Came in perfect condition, with posters and no PC cards missing :)


title: Amazing!

text: Fantastic cd! Everything Fen has put out is amazing!


title: Samurai Metal

text: I guess you could call this electronic death metalcore.  Its basically a new genre and the songs are extremely epic, melodic and very technical.  They also use traditional Japanese elements in many of thier melodies and mixed with modern metal creates what I call Samurai metal, something a kin to the Viking metal genre.  The vocals are a blend of clean female and male vocals with a range of different screams.  The fact that this band has no record label amazes me.  I'm sure they will be signed soon which will make this unlabeled album a rare find in the future.  This band is definitly in my top five favorite bands.


title: Masterpiece

text: Another Masterpiece. Looking forward to SEVEN.

text: my favorite gospel c.d by far. Ralph Stanley has the best voice going for bluegrass gospel. these song's will lift your spirit and you will want to listen again and again.I give it a high 5. if you love bluegrass gospel,this is a must have for your collection.


title: Underappreciated maybe, but definately not underrated

text:
This is one of the most beautifully put together and performed albums I have ever heard.  Every song has a purpose, and every song has a distinct message.  It is an absolute joy to listen to this dynamic and in many ways perfect album.  It makes you think and allows you to get lost in the lyrics.  I had never heard of Love before I heard this album, and I have since listened to their other albums but did not find them equally moving.  I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves music.  I can't really even compare it with anything or give a generic "If you like ______ then you will love this" because it is really honestly different than anyone else, and in a mind blowing way.  Definitely give the sample clips a listen and if you like the sound of them you will love this album.

This album mixes different musical stylings, with its roots firmly planted in the psychadelic sounds of its era.  But many of the songs have a blissful orchestral element added to their backgrounds, making the songs very rich and full sounding.  One of the songs which sticks out for me is "Andmoreagain" (Track 3).  This song is VERY beautiful and has a string section and spanish like guitar sound implanted perfectly into its background.  And the song is thought provoking as well.  This is just one example that typifies the beauty throughout this album.  The song "The Red Telephone" is very eery and has its basis in the cold war/communism which was obviously a prominent thought in 1967. The darkness of the cold war cuts through the track and you are left with a very real sense of paranoia and uneasiness when the song closes with a chant of "They're locking them up today, they're throwing away the key, I wonder who it will be tomorrow, you or me..."  I will not ramble on about all of the songs, as you need to experience them yourself.  I would like to say my favorite line from all of the songs (from "You Set the Scene" - my favorite on the album, and basically Arthur Lee's goodbye to the world song as he was sure he was dying during the making of this album):

"And for anyone who thinks that life is just a game, Do you like the part you're playing?"  - Arthur Lee

Just one of the many brilliant lyrics in this album which I can't give enough praise.  Musically, lyrically, production wise, this album is almost perfect.  It is as though the best elements of the Beatles psychadelic albums (notably Sgt. Pepper) was mixed in with a little bit of crazy thought provoking lyrics (a la Pink Floyd - before AND during the Roger Waters era) and set to a great musical score, but this combination still doesn't do this album justice as it is a very "different" album in the greatest way possible.

With all that said, I must give this album five stars as it easily ranks near the top of my list as one of the greatest albums ever.  Rolling Stone agrees, placing it at #40 all time.  I have to disagree with that ranking as I own all 39 of the previous album and I think musically this album is better than many of those which precede it.  I cannot speak for its effect on society since I am still young, and was not around when this was released.  In any case it will do any music lover good to get and to study this album.  A masterpiece.

title: Timeless quality, a soundtrack for rainy days.

text:
Noon (Mikolaj Bugajak) is a hip-hop producer and studio engineer from Warsaw, Poland. He was discovered via the internet in 1998 when he sent a cassette with demo's to the Dutch dDrecords label, the first internet-only label worldwide. He was 20 years old.

This resulted in Bleak Output, a --proven to be-- timeless concept album, that reminds the listener of DJ Shadow's groundbreaking Endtroducing.
Just like DJ Shadow's release, Bleak Output is 100% constructed from audio samples, taken from vinyl records only (compliant to the existing hip-hop standards). It is also similar to Endtroducing in style: nostalgia and a strong mood are dominating. Bleak Output was Noon's first release and was an instant classic in both Poland and the US.

Noon used to be a member of one of the most popular polish hip-hop bands Grammatik and one half of the Pezet-Noon duo. He was born in 1979.

title: overblown mediocre effort from great band

text:
If you're looking for a good place to start with Crash Vegas, buy 'Red Earth' or even 'Stone'. This doesnt have any of what made this band a college rock radio favourite of many in the early 90s. Its more of a typical inoffensive corporate post-grunge altrock sound that was prominent in '95-'96, especially with Canadian acts for some reason (and it only got worse as the decade progressed, but i digress...)

There are way too many overly angsty, slow, middling tunes that are all about 2 minutes too long. No hooks or good driving rock to speak of unlike their earlier records. It seems like the singer Michelle McAdorey can't decide if shes going for an acoustic downhome folk sound or the modern angry 90s chick with a guitar sound and succeeds at neither. However, there are 3 good songs that showcase what once made them a great Canadian band, like 'Old Enough', 'Scarborough', and 'On and On'. Having said that though, the best song on the album is still the Neil Young cover.


title: Another Great Imagining of Reeves' Performances

text: Larry Jordan continues his quest to keep Jim Reeves' music alive for the 21st Century.  He has a great subject to work with, as Jim Reeves is the greatest vocalist of all time, and adding modern accompaniment helps brings this great voice to new generations and will please all the old fans as well.


title: Last hurrah of the original-ish Burritos line-up

text:
Recorded in early 1971, shortly after Chris Hillman and Al Perkins left to join Manassas, this is roughly similar to the live show recorded on "Last of the Red Hot Burritos" about 5 months earlier -- part of the show was Burritos classics, and yje other part was bluegrass from the "Hot Burrito Review".

Personnel:
Rick Roberts - lead vocals, guitar
Byron Berline - fiddle
Kenny Wertz - guitar, banjo
Roger Bush - bass
(the above 4 were on the Last of the Red Hot Burritos LP)
Alan Munde - guitar, banjo
Don Beck - peddle steel (ex-Dillard & Clark)
Erik Dalton - drums (ex-Southwind)

After these Burritos dispersed Berline, Wertz, Bush and Munde formed the bluegrass group Country Gazette.

What will come from a a capella group doing an album called "Instrument". No good enough stuff...

Since this is Neri per Caso's second album we may guess they thought: "OK, our first album  was a hit, now let's move to be a normal pop group." But the result  was a mediocre pop album. With the exception of two tracks,  "Improvvisando" and "Perche' di Notte" that are almost  a capella, the rest is plain italian-pop, so there is nothing special with  this album.

For the real Neri per Caso go with the first album (Le  Ragazze) and their fourth self-titled album.


title: Is This Trip Really Necessary?

text:
There are three categories of tracks here: new cover songs (most of which were previously available as free downloads); re-issues of previously released tracks; and re-edits of same. My advice in a nutshell: Buy the downloads of any tracks you don't have, but skip the $35 import price. I'll review these categories in reverse order:

First, let me stress that the "re-edits" are just that: They are EDITED versions of these songs--not remixes, not extended versions, not remasters. Ever hear the radio edits of Gerry's hits "Baker Street" or "Right Down the Line"? And don't they make you want to puke? If not, maybe this is for you. But as a fan who already has the long versions of these, my question is, "WTF?!"

Second, the standard re-issues. This is NOT a "Best Of" by any measure. Look, I like "Love and Affection," but can anyone argue it's among his stellar tracks? Same with "Waters of Forgetfulness"--which, ironically, is not listed as a "re-edit," but does sport a slightly extended opening. If you're really interested, again, I recommend just the download, and only to hardcore fans who MUST have everything.

Finally, the "new" songs. As I mentioned, many of these were made available as free downloads from Gerry's website (which, at the time of this writing, appears to be defunct). So if you don't have them, I guess you could collect them here. But don't expect these to be stellar songs.

None are Rafferty originals. (Ironically, a download-only track from his website, "Imagination," is not included on this disc, even though it would probably be of greatest interest to his fans.) Of the songs he chooses to cover, well... A Christian chant ("Adele Fideste") and an Xmas song ("Silent Night")? Pretty tame stuff. Sure, "Because" is a great song, but Gerry's version is SO CLOSE to the Beatles version, what's the point? If you have the Beatles version, there's no point in picking up what is essentially a duplicate but with Gerry doing the vocals.

So what have we got? Lame covers, lame edits, no new originals, not even a good "Best Of" collection. It fails on every level. I recommend instead getting the albums from which the older stuff were drawn; not only will you hear better songs than are included here, you'll get them UNEDITED.


title: If you like happy energy individual rock this is for you

text: I saw this band live at a house concert years ago and was blown away by their talent and energy. To this day the best small home concert I've been to across all genres. This album has a very good late 2000's indi vibe. Good listening and highly recommended.

title: A fascinating album - essential for Hank Williams collectors!

text: This is an essential CD for any Hank Williams collector, as it features previously unreleased material (from Naughton Farms) in early 1950. The sound quality is remarkable given the age of the original recordings, and Hank sings without his Drifting Cowboys, which alone makes the recordings fascinating listening. Let's hope this album is followed up by others from the same shows.

title: The greatest live album from just one concert

text: Live and dangerous is a composite of several concerts. Thin Lizzy life live is also a composite of different shows on the farewell tour. This recording is the entire show from there farewell Reading show in 1983, they played the best they ever played on that tour in this one show. If you have a chance to get it I recommend behind it, I bought it when it first came out and I've never been disappointed


title: Bold, punchy performances.

text: More fine performances of Haydn's late symphonies. This is very muscular, energetic Haydn. Even more so than Harnoncourt's. If you prefer Haydn more middle of the road, gentle, polite then you want Fischer, Dorati or Szell. If you've never heard Fey in Haydn then start with volume #1 that has the Surprise (94) and London (104) symphonies on it. Every single release including this one has very good recorded sound.


title: Love this album

text: Love this album! I have the cd in my car so one half plays on my way to work and the other half on the way home. Wish there were liner notes. The older tunes are fun to sing along with and bring back happy memories of my Cowsill family days.


title: Wow!

text: Absolutely incredible! Natalie has one of the most amazing voices ever recorded. This album is up there with one of those albums that one must have in their collection.

title: Eddie Clendening is...Knocking At Your Heart

text: Eddie Clendening is continuing his tradition of putting out cd's with great rockabilly songs.  This cd finds him backed by The Modern Sounds, one of the best bands around anywhere.  They blend perfectly with his rendition of each song, including "Long Tall Lou", "Knockin' At Your Heart", "Blues Stop Knockin' At My Door", "Comin' Home Baby", and my own personal favorite, "Respectfully Miss Brooks". Once again, whether Eddie is rockin' to "My Baby's Gone Away", or singing a beautiful ballad such as "Hey Little One", he delivers a great selection of songs that is sure to please the palate of every listener.  I look forward to Eddie's next cd to be released.

title: Buyer Beware...This is a bootleg

text: While it is cool to see this so called "SHIM" boxed set from Japan, it's important to note that this set is a bootleg.  Metallica's discography was not ever released in the SHIM format as a boxed set.  The discs themselves sound ok, but the inner artwork is sometimes wrong (I ReLoad for Ride the Lightning) and the outer artwork is very washed out.  There is a cover present for Garage Days Re-Visited but no disc since the songs appear on S&M.  Do not pay this much money for this.  If you really want this boxed set, you can find it for about $30 on eBay.  With Metallica remastering and releasing their catalogs again, you'd be better off buying each album at $5.00 each with official mini LP sleeves.

title: Another Copland Stunner!

text: With so many great albums to his credit as leader or sideman, "Zenith" needs to be added to the list, thanks in large part to the significant contribution of Ralph Alessi on trumpet, not to mention the infallable rhythm section of Drew Gress and Joey Baron.  Absolutely beautiful, with flawless group interplay and musicianship.  A real gem!


title: SPLENDID CD

text: A grateful thanks to Operetta Foundation that resurrect american musical comedies of the past with such perfect style. This GINGHAM GIRL has a musical score which surprises for melodies that are real beauties and, if you may wish an orchestra instead of these two marvellously able pianists, I can state that the pleasure is anyway total.<br />It's hopeful this label may continue to give us more surprises like this one, not forgetting the several Jerome Kern works (his early period) still unavailable on the cd market.


title: A "Norma" to Remember

text: This is a wonderful live recording of "Norma." The sound is good and Muti's conducting makes us understand what makes this opera great. Montserrat Caballe truly rises to the occasion with her finest recorded Norma, which was one of her specialties in the mid seventies. I don't think I've ever heard her with so much control, emitting floods of glorious sound throughout the performance. Fiorenza Cossotto, who was Caballe's preferred Adalgisa, also delivers a stellar performance. And Carlo Cossutta has never been finer than here, as Pollione. It all comes down to Riccardo Muti, who shapes this cast into the great trio of singers this opera demands.  It's a privilege to have heard this recording. I only wish I could have been there to see it in person. What a night!


title: Great Tracks!

text: "Safe and Sound" is one song that I really enjoy.  It's a song worth hearing "over and over" --- beautiful trumpet work (sets this song apart from the "ordinary".  The remaining few tracks are also good.  Perhaps, this collection is a case of quality --- not quantity (which is a good thing).


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent piece of music. As a military person I've always enjoyed the sounds of the Fires and drums


title: OPM Klasiks

text: OPM Klasiks is such a wonderful compilation music album, a kodus to a producer on this album.  They combined all great singers with their classic well known songs.  My wife and I loved this music so much.  Once you played this music, you will never get bored listening to their crystal and an angelic voice.  What matters most is, it brings back wonderful memories back home (PI). I played this music everytime we have gathering at home and my friends asked me where I bought it from.  They really enjoyed it as well.  Highly recommended to those who really love filipino OPM classic music.

title: Instrumental at its best

text: so, if you thought Herb Alpert and The TJB was hot back then, well, try this one.  Bob Crewe was a very famous composer/producer in the 50's and 60's.  His forty piece orchestra played instrumental music by the 4 Seasons, and later on, he had a 20 piece brass combo combined with his string one with his first hit; "Music to Watch Girls By", which in turn, Herb Alpert did the same with; "Taste Of Honey", with marginal success.  Now if you want some good tunes with strings, this is the one for you!


title: This band is brilliant at what they are doing and it really shows ...

text:
This band is brilliant at what they are doing and it really shows on this album. There's so much going on in the music on this disc and it feels very fresh. Really good cd to buy if you are into Heavy Metal music.
The standout tracks for me is:
1.Spyborg
2. The last three songs as they are a triology
3. Nothing Defeats The Skull
4. Beware The Thrash Brigade
I highly recomend this album to anyone out there who is into metal music


title: Vow !  one of the most beautiful bollywood BSO from the last years

text:
Sajid-Wajid made a wonderful job. A bouquet of  beautiful soundtracks for every sort of people. If you are young, probably you will love "Mukthasar" ! If you are a romantic , listen "allah jaane"  sung by the mesmerizing voice of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. If you like a lot of fun , dance, chorus and punjabi beat you will certain think that you are in heaven listen to " Humse pyar Kar le tu ". In this track give a special atention to the " accordion - harmonica " tune.
The originals are so beautiful what it makes the remixes completely useful.
And  even more beautiful,  it's to  watch the video clips and the coreographies on You tube. It is impossible to think in another couple than Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor to get into life this 3 love stories and respective characters.They seam to be  made for each other!


title: An amazing BSO

text: An amazing BSO . Very well integrated with movie's theme . Very modern for an Indian movie .


title: Vow,..... a great movie score !

text: Another great movie score from A.R.Rahman ! A mix of traditional indian music with western notes . Just great !


title: I loved this music back when it came out & I ...

text: I loved this music back when it came out & I highly recommend it.  Crystal Lewis & the other collaborating artists have made the vocals incredible.  ITunes does not have this available & that is a disgrace.  This music should be available to everyone.

title: GREAT blues band!!!

text:
This is a great discovery - KOKLER is a really brilliant blues album with a tinge of Turkish roots music. Istanbul Blues Kumpanyasi is the natural successor to the US blues band Canned Heat, and the comfortable easy-to-listen-to quality that one associates with Canned Heat is found in this album in abundance.
To be honest I just keep listening to KOKLER, and when I want a change I listen to their second album, SAIR ZAMANLAR.
Great music from a great band.


title: Scratched

text: Came with a giant scratch on the disc


title: Excellent CD's

text: Songs form now and years ago. Brings back memories of when I was younger and my Mom playing the same songs sung by the Cookes then and now. I love both CD;s This is a wonderful selection to buy.


title: Noteworthy

text:
Since the dawn of Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience through ZZ Top and Rush to Nirvana and Green Day the power trio has proven time and again you don't have to have umpteen musicians in a band to produce a great sound.

Degrees of Saturn  -featuring the vocals and bass of Kelvin Houston, the guitar work of Emil Gagliardi, and some outstanding percussion by John Schaffner - continue the three piece tradition with this eponymous first release.

By shunning corporate trends and chasing their own sound Degrees of Saturn present the music lover with an offering that lands them somewhere on the power trio scale between the Police and Eric Johnson ... minus Johnson's blistering virtuosity.  Don't take that the wrong way.  There are ample examples of fine fretwork here from Houston's vigorous bass runs on the opening track: New Orleans to Gagliardi's sonic glimmer of a glossy soundscape on the final track: The Game.

Since this is a freshman release you will come across a few rough diamonds in production that are ready for the polish of a seasoned jeweler, but within the bulk of the energetic and lively cuts you will hear plenty of gems.  And the thoughtful lyrics add to the brilliance.

If they could get samples working on this page and make the songs downloadable there is no doubt Degrees of Saturn would sell itself.  Until then, throw it in your cd player and take it for a test drive ... but you better buckle up.


title: Issue with Orchestral Suites?

text: Superb performances with all star soloists. There is a criticism regarding the Orchestral Suites I'd like to address.  It is said that the overtures to each suite have been cut by half.  I have compared the timings of the subject tracks with six other recordings. I found a difference of + or - 1 to 2 minutes between these recordings and the other six. There are no complaints regarding the tempos used in the other six recordings. So tempo is not the cause of the alleged cut.  I reviewed a couple of the scores and while I'm not a professional musician I can't imagine playing the overtures in more than 9 minutes without turning them into funeral marches.  Thus far I have not been able to discover the basis for the criticism regarding the overtures to each suite.  Unless it has to do with the performance editions, and I have no idea if that is the case here.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent


title: Interesting music

text: just as used in the film and no official release was made  Only available as CD-R from private sellers. Soundquality is excellent.


title: Finest example of French Caribbean music

text: I was introduced to Kali by Putumayo compilation in late 90-s, then bough all his albums found in CD shop on Martinique in 2001 as well as the first album of his son Tiken, who appears on the jacket of this album. This is great roots music - if you like his style of singing and banjo playing you wouldn't be disappointed.


title: awesome record

text: It is their best record.


title: This Guy's Good !!!...

text: Wow, this album/CD is amazing !... Spotify "threw" it at me randomly and I started to listen more of him. Have purchased his other CD's also. "Destination Unknown" from his latest LP is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. He's for real !...Check him and his other music out !...


title: Great re-issue treatment

text: This is a great re-issue treatment for an unknown German artist.  You could go as far as saying if you're a fan of Eno and CAN and Krautrock then you should invest in this piece.  The bonus CD is a nice touch and some great artists (mainly NY-ers) took a hack at but I would love a download code so you can put it on your iPod.  Still five stars though as I would have never known anything of Grosskopf if not for this re-issue.  A great LP with a great groove that is ample for playing loud around the house while you're doing stuff.

title: Patika - the CD of Turkish singer - worth a buy

text: I purchased the CD "Patika" at the Istanbul airport in 2012 because I liked the tracks when I heard the CD during my flight to Istanbul. The tracks struck me as a different type of music that I hand not heard before.  The singer has has a soothing voice. The first track is the best one in my view. I would strongly recommend the purchase of this CD.


title: Can Atilla CD feedback

text: I discovered his '1453 Sultanlar Askina' accidentally at Istambul airport and was completed smitten by it. Being a deep appreicator of music and being a long time student of music, per my analysis - '1453' remains his best...do purchase that one - strongly recommended.


title: A Work of Art That Affords Both Delight and Instruction

text:
“Soul of a Nation: Portraits of Presidential Character,” describes in music and narration the special qualities of the four U.S. presidents that most Americans would probably rate as the ablest and most admired apart from Abraham Lincoln; the portraits are of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the two Roosevelts, Theodore and Franklin. Lincoln was, of course, the subject of “A Lincoln Portrait,” a collaboration between composer Aaron Copland and poet and author Carl Sandburg, which seems the obvious model for the work here reviewed. Like that earlier collaboration, “Soul of a Nation” marries music with selected words of the presidents themselves, together with commentary by the librettist and others to help link and contextualize the selected presidential utterances.

Victoria Bond, a distinguished composer, and Myles Lee, a retired cardio-thoracic surgeon, who has immersed himself in serious study of the subjects of “Soul” and other leaders who have displayed special qualities of character in facing daunting challenges, prove to be as felicitous a pairing as Copland and Sandburg. Dr. Lee’s librettos reflect thoughtful choices drawn from the speeches, letters, and other writings of the four presidents, combined with artful use of his own and others’ reflections.

The music, taking the form of four concertos, whose soloists are paired with string and wind ensembles, artfully reflects the musical idioms of the eras represented and compellingly evokes the qualities of presidential character and the challenges that tested them. The choice of solo instruments for the concertos was, in each case, made with imagination and care. In the case of the title piece, “Soul of a Nation,” a violin is employed, both presumably because Jefferson was an accomplished violinist and because that instrument best conveys musically the third president’s lament that his natural inclination to engage his passion for music and literature had to yield to his duty to publicly serve the new country, enduring the “torments of politics.” The use of a clarinet in the piece about FDR echoes the popular music of his time. It is, perhaps, not too much of a stretch to think that the composer saw the clarinet as being the “indispensable” instrument of most jazz ensembles, echoing the characterization of Roosevelt as the “indispensable man” in a time of economic crisis and war. His cousin Theodore’s musical representation in the form of a trumpet is, perhaps, too obvious to require comment. The flute chosen as solo instrument in “Pater Patriae,” the piece that limns the character of George Washington, nicely evokes the fife, iconic instrument of the American Revolution.

At the present time, when the norms that have shaped the U.S. presidency for more than two centuries are challenged as never before, the portraits presented in “Soul of a Nation” are especially welcome. Ms. Bond and Dr. Lee have given us much to ponder. Their fruitful collaboration has produced a work of art that affords both delight and instruction.

title: Yes, Virginia, Tebaldi could Sing Coloratura

text:
I am only giving **** because the audio is deplorable, but it's not much worse than the old 78 vinyls on a manual Victrola.  Yes I am that old. In fact its only raison d'être may be Tebaldi. At about 30, her voice was agile & surprisingly  secure at the top.  The Cesear is not a trouser role, but sports the great Cesare Siepi & Sesto is also sung by a male, Gino Sinimberghi.

The old 78's of this (and Giovanna d'Arco) are what gave me my first love of Tebaldi; frankly I am glad I found these two CD's and was able to purchase them.  Both of these performances are truly historic and these recordings should be preserved.  It is a revelation to experience Handel & Rossini as played in the early 50's; quite different than today.


title: A Must For All Mesh Fans

text: Good Lord! this MCD is a total Gem.  Between all the wonderfull remixes of "Friends Like These" and the fantastic B side "From This Height". Mesh is the only band that I know that puts strong songs on thier B sides as well as their A side. Just like the last MCD which had the amazing B side of "Let Them Crush Us" which may be the best Mesh song ever, this MCD continues that trend. As if this were not enough, this MCD has Videos of several Mesh favorites on it. You simply can't go wrong in buying this single. Simply Perfect. Peace to all.


title: Memories

text: When this first came out I was given a free copy I suppose it was it was a promo but I did a television commercial for them filmed at my local mall that aired on the WB Network probably. I never saw it. But apparently folks in my town did. It's worth it as far as late 90s go

title: Master P Grows Up on Record.

text: Cd is not the greatest thing ever released by the Coloniel but it is a good cd to listen to especially if you are looking for something family friendly.  Master P and Romeo released this cd and it is free of cussing and is just a good clean rap album.  My Life is a great song and there are others that are good also like Money Don't Make Me, Outchere, Can't Please Em All, Black History, Got That Work, Be Like U, I Hope She Likes Me, Stay Ready.  Overall pretty good album definitely worth a listen or two!!!!

text: jazz, prog, rock, fusion, all mixed up by this awesome chilean band. Sounds really good (what a production!), with a powerful female voice, strong rhythm section, groove songs. Zappa lovers, Weather Report fan? this may be your target. Mediaband. What a band!


title: not the one

text:
Dr. Pagano is right. But don't take our word for it. Just a simple
a/b comparison with the same cuts on the new Phil Spector Retrospective
(excellent) not only reveal these versions to have been remastered into oblivion but that a layer of echo has been added, all apparently to make a more "modern" sound. Yech!!! See for yourself. I wish I could recommend this since a few of the tracks I really like here are not available elsewhere that I know of, but this is not the one!


title: Simply great Mozart

text: K. 482 is the most visionary, musically-expressively complex, and difficult-to-bring-off of Mozart's piano concertos, a true concerto for wind instruments, piano and orchestra. Fischer, as conductor, extracts unusually well-balanced, articulate, expressive performances from this "minor" orchestra (in itself a remarkable feat), while searching out virtually every pianistic nuance of this unique work.  Some might question whether this is "Mozart-styled" performance; no, but it should be. (I am often an admirer of "period" performance; but there is a difference between "period" and fundamentally "eternal" -- forgive the old-fashioned rhetoric.) This review is based on another company's LP issue of the same 1954 performances. Fischer's unrecorded earlier performances of this concerto with Furtwangler are legends; now one can imagine why.


title: Four Stars

text: as expected


title: Andrew M

text: During the early 90s I lived for seeing this band at many different venues in the Twin Cities. Holiday Ranch is an enormously talented group that produced original, well-crafted songs that are still catchy today. I listen to this band in my office almost daily. Great group, great album. If you like this CD, check out the band Bug and look for Monday Morning and Calypso .


title: One of Cathy Fink's best.

text:
Cathy Fink is a GREAT musician, who has made a few great albums. And...

Her children's music albums with Marcie Marxer are fine, but I would recommend the Duck Donald/ Cathy Fink album to almost anyone with an ear for advanced "trad". Ditto her album "Doggone My Time". Donald and Fink is more oriented to the humorous inclinations of Homer and Jethro.

The children's albums... excellent music for children, tolerable for adults. Much better than Raffi.

PS: If you have not heard "My Old Kentucky Home" from the "Doggone My Time" album, you haven't lived.


title: Fresh music

title: best of Doobie Brothers

text: I just read the Doobie Brothers book and thought I'd purchase this


title: Wooden Mozart

text:
I bought this Box set after being bored by Walter Klien's Glib playing of Mozart Sonatas.I find Ms Uchida's Playing rather rote and wooden,Lacking in Character and personality;the lilt,Bounce and adroit twists and turns typical of Mozart are nowhere to be found.The Music does not live and sounds pretty mechanical,the Repeats do not have any subtle inflections or variations and sounds like mere repeats than recollection of the earlier phrasings.The pacing is pretty even as if set to a metronome.
Repeated listenings made this lack of character and Life too apparent,I did not find Uchida using the 'pause' at the end of a phrase but mechanically chugs along.
Thoroughly bored,I purchased the Christoph Eschenbach's set-and voila ,this is turning out to be quite a fine one with plenty of the typical rhythmic thrust and dash of Mozart,with charming phrasing.
Yet I find that I have been spoilt by Clara Haskil's wonderful playing of some of the Mozart sonatas.No one ever comes close.What joy and lilt in her playing!The space in between notes are crucial and this adds the magic in her phrasing,and this is totally missing in this Uchida set.
I also have in mind to explore Pires's set of Mozart sonatas.I would suggest that listener's explore these sets that are far superior to Uchida.
Ofcourse clara Haskil is unmatched in Mozart.How many of her recordings of Mozart Sonatas are available?!


title: Too Bland for Haydn!!!

text:
No doubt that Haydn is one of the greatest composers of all times both in terms of quality and quantity of his diverse compositions.I have always found his piano sonatas very witty and enjoyable having listened to Jando and Richter.I was completely floored by one of the Haydn's Piano trios featured in the Stern,Rose and Istomin recording of the Schubert Piano Trios-Perky,springy,Bouncy playing keeping the listener constantly guessing.It is with great expectation that I bought this complete set of Haydn Piano Trios by the REPUTED Beaux Arts Trio.Listening to the First 2 CDs of this set was a bit of a let down.I find their playing totally bland and Lifeless-Yes,they are pretty but lacking in perky,quirky humour that Haydn is justly known for.They sound like Rameau's compositions!I find that the individuality and personality of Haydn is totally absent.

I know that the Beaux Arts Trio has a Big Reputation but I need to say this.I found their Beethoven Trios a Trifle Bland as well.The Stern Rose Istomin Excel in that recording as well!Ditto for their Schubert Piano Trios.Just what is the Difference?I find the Stern Rose Istomin Trio play with Fresh Abandon whereas the Beaux Arts Trio seem to be too Studious,a little too serious!This robs a little bit of spontaneity and LIVING IN THE MOMENT vitality.(More so for Franz Joseph Haydn!)

Yes,This may be the only complete recording of the wonderful Haydn Piano Trios,but I would strongly advise that you collect the individual performances by different groups after due listening.


title: a treasure

text:
A wonderful collection of some well known and some much less known music, mainly a superb Italian music and also beautiful pieces by Biber, Locke, etc., and a magnificent performance of the complete Brandenburg Concertos.
The star instrument in many pieces in this collection is the recorder, and no wonder, since the director of Il Giardino Armonico, the great Giovanni Antonini, is a recorder player - and what a recorder player he is! He makes his hollow stick to sing so sweetly, to sing in Italian, and in this respect, the works here for the recorder are a definitive performances. After all, music is not just universal, but also local, and when you compare other non Italian recorder players to Antonini, you certainly can admire them for some things, but they all lack that strange and enchanting Italian mix of mellifluous and fieri facet with that unpredictable sinister facet which exist all the time bellow the surface.

Nevertheles, as i wrote, the Brandenburg Concertos receives here a magnificent performance...

A treasure of great music by the great Il Giardino Armonico in a ridiculous price!

The recordings are usually good, but not extraordinary.

As usuall in the last few years, there are no linear notes in those bargain boxes - and this is a shame and a mistake! If the record companies wants to fight illegal downloads and all sorts of copying, they should tempt the potential buyers with a lavish and very informative booklet. It's not so difficult, they know it.

title: An Intuitive Compilation to the Greenwich Village 'Scene'

text: In a way, this is an indispensable addition to your Bob Dylan collection, even as the set doesn't have a composition from the Minnesotan singer-songwriter. This is a compilation that shows great intuition, perceptiveness + care to what made the Greenwich Village 'Scene' so dynamic. It is an eclectic mix -- from Eric Andersen to Allen Ginsberg to Richard + Mimi Farina + the Clancy Brothers. I am happy to have this MOJO-produced CD that goes by briskly, though packs a jolt of literary-music adrenaline.

title: Great band with potentianal to be beyond exceptional

text:
In an age of corporate manufactured pop/rock groups and the eluding prescence of so many rap artists that all sound the same, Clear Static is a breath of fresh air. One would best describe them as a band with 80s roots but a modern-day touch. "Careless Lies" could easily fit into the climax of any 80s teen drama, while "make-up Sex" can easily fit into any modern night-club that would for sure have the patrons dancing with ease. "Out of Control", the song that stands out the most on this well-produced album and produced by 2 of the band members, Michael David and Tom Pedersen, could easily be a huge top-10 hit if their label markets it and their current, loyal fan base demands it.

One album is not a accurate factor in how great a band can be. Sure, Clear Static is great now but I believe they are no where near how exceptional they really can be.  Keep rocking, Clear Static!
