title: Great recordings

text: I completely agree with the assessments about Ms. Uchida's interpretation of Mozart's sonata pieces by other reviewers found elsewhere in this section. But I'd like to comment on two rather mundane issues. First, if you have children taking piano lessons, this is an efficient and economical way to introduce them to Mozart's sonatas. You can then purchase the sonatas collection (by Schirmer's at sheetmusicplus.com) so your child can have the music sheets and the audio to appreciate at least one style of expression for these sonatas. Second, this set of CD's can also be bought at bmgmusic.com for about $14 and change, plus shipping charges (another $10 and change).

title: Hit Em Up&Wake up T-Rex! : here is the GO's new Ep!

text: This Ep is a precursor for the forthcoming record due to be released in May/June, "The GO".<br />Detroit's The GO are flying under the radar of the recent mainstream rock critics infatuation of digging a hole into the ground with the so called new-garage rock, but hopefully not for long. Yes, Jack White of the White Stripes played guitar briefly in this band and on The GO's first album on Sub-Pop, "Whatcha Doin" which is a near perfect rock and roll record. Like the twelve songs on "Whatcha Doin" and on the new record, these tracks are all sure to be sung and hummed by any listener. Lead singer Bobby Harlow and guitar/bass player John Krautner's perfect authentic sounding vocals evoke a kind of rock n roll feeling and sound that does not exist in contemporary rock any where, and this is exemplified here perfectly on the lead track "Capricorn" also on the track "Hey Linda". "Come Back" is a Stonesy, Wild Horses sure rock song and "Growd Up Wrong" is glam rock hard. This Ep is worth owning because having already heard the new record the tracks here are different takes from the ones chosen on the album and like myself, you may dig one version more or less when comparing-either way hearing two versions one gets the sense of a true Detroit rock band working it out. Nevertheless like "Whatcha Doin" this little gem is a must have for true rock and roll fans also a necessary accompany piece for the new album to come from a great band who are a well kept secret in an unfair rock world.


title: Father and son so to say

text: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King let loose on terrific blues amongst them the nugget Stormy Monday.  Both play very well and Stevie times down his Hendrix influences to showcase super straight up blues guitar. Albert as always is solid steady and confident. A great match up


title: perfect 💖

title: Huge poster!

text: This was amazing. It came with 2 extras a joy and irene  Polaroid and the poster was huger than I thought it would be. It came in really cold which I loved and had everything. It also came with a Seulgi photocard which I loved!! (she is my bias wrecker though ripppp)

title: Companion story, no doctor

text: I enoyed the story very much but at some point It just felt too slow, I think it's because I expected a doctor to be in it, but did not realize I purchased a companion story


title: Four Stars

text: Great record!


title: Good Quality

text: I was trying to find different sites as to where I can buy this album and settled for Amazon because I knew I would get it in a timely manner. The album was beautiful and in perfect condition!


title: she loved it.

text: I was a Christmas gift for my little sister, she loved it.


title: I love this album

text:
I love this album. I 've been a Buckethead fan for many years now. I 've collected a large number of his recordings. Recently I got (back) into vinyl and there is very little Buckethead to be had in the LP format.
The pressing is good, maybe a little noise, but not bad. In comparison to the cd, well, not a huge difference in fidelity.
As far as the music itself, it's great. Not really the over-the-top shred that Buckethead is known for, but more blues-rock jamming, with the occasional face-melting lick. It's a great listen on both vinyl and cd.


title: We like Paul WIlbur a lot and have almost all of ...

text: We like Paul WIlbur a lot and have almost all of his edited albums. I just put 4 stars, because many songs in this collection were realesed earlier and we have them already. Otherwise, great collection!

This has just the piano parts to some beloved classic praise and worship songs.  It's perfect for background music or meditation music.

One of the best I've seen in this mellow instrumental genre.

title: Forgotten album from an underrated songwriter!

text:
I'm an 80s pop junkie, for me the production values of the time had never been, and will never be better when it comes to pop music. There was a great blend of new technology, but no "Bedroom producers" like today, so good songwriting was rewarded, you couldn't come out with nonsense like Rebecca Black's Friday and have it hit the Billboard 100. And Michael Sembello was a great songwriter. Known best for his #1 hit Maniac from the Flashdance soundtrack, and his Top 40 hit Automatic Man from his first album Bossa Nova Hotel, Sembello wrote songs for Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Sergio Mendes, Diana Ross, George Duke, and many others. But he had a great voice in his own right, and while his pop career never really took off, he did cut a few great albums, and Without Walls is one of them. If you like 80s Kenny Loggins, Lee Ritenour, Mr. Mister, or Journey, you'll like this album. Sembello blends together the West Coast production values of the time with some really catchy hooks, and his voice is actually quite nice. He's got a great range, and the songs on the album benefit from it. I really like the opener "What You Really Want", the ballad "Wonder Where You Are", and the darker rocker "The Picture." And Sembello got some great artists to perform on this album with him, including Bobby Caldwell, Steve Porcaro of Toto, drummer Carlos Vega, and Stevie Wonder.

Overall, great album. Shame the CD re-release is Japan-only and very rare, as this album is very good. Definitely give it a listen if you like 80s Pop!


title: Amazing

text: One of the most underrated albums of the 80s


title: CD is good but not as described

text: It should be  a double CD; however, only one of it arrived.<br />I got the refund of the other CD although I prefer the CD not the refund.


title: Amazing

text: This is one of my all time favorites. Mishra is always amazing!


title: Great service

text: CD arrived fast, in great shape, and has been a joy to listen to!


The one song I was ordering it for was GREAT. The others were ok.  The songs were done by a very young Waylon.  He sounded great, but the  band and background was so plain it seemed dull compared to the more mature Waylon.  I still like it just because it is Waylon.


title: He was amazing and when I played the CD for my son ...

text: I was able to attend a live concert with this fella.  He was amazing and when I played the CD for my son he thought it was an original HANK WILLIAMS I was playing.  I recommend this to anyone who is a Honky Tonk fan!!!


title: She loved it!

text: Bought this for my mom.  She loved it!


title: Great

text: Awesome worship anthems and song of praise in the way from PAssion conference, the dvd is a taste of this great movement


title: A few big hits

text: Cachamba and La Vaca are just monster hits.  Absolutely love those two songs.  Worth the price for me anyway.  Word.


title: Not very dynamic tracks - fairly static

text: These jam tracks are pretty basic.  By this I mean there is no real variation/modulation in the music progressions.  The tracks are good for practicing leads for the beginner or intermediate guitarist as they are very predictable.  If you are an experienced guitarist, they will be somewhat boring after a while.  If you are just cutting your teeth on lead guitar, they are not too advanced and you won't get lost.  Recommended for basic lead practice.


title: This Is What Metal and Tony Martin Should Sound Like

text: I previously reviewed Rondinelli's Our Cross, Our Sins and heralded it as the best post-Sabbath, non-solo use of Tony Martin's voice, and while I still think the Rondinelli CD is awesome, this project with Giuntini is simply superior.  As another reviewer noted, this is the closest you can come to Tony's work with Black Sabbath.  Not to slight the obviously-talented work of Giuntini himself, I really did track this CD down for Tony Martin, and it took months of continuously searching eBay to find a mint copy from a German seller.  This CD is worth every penny I paid.  The guitar work is phenomenal, the musicianship is tight, the lyrics are darker, and Tony's voice reaches all of its glory to shine in stellar form.  You'll have to search a long time, but this definitely is a CD worth buying.  It gets five stars for Tony's performance alone.  If I were rating it for Guintini's performance alone, I'd still give it 4-plus stars because he really can shred some awesome riffs.  This CD is tight no matter how you look at it.

text: This is a celebratory and festive collection!


title: His genius lives on!

text: When I was a boy, public resources about the organ were limited to books, LP recordings (only about three pages listed in the Schwann catalog), and a few weekly radio broadcasts if you were lucky enough to live within range of a sufficiently high-minded station.  What a refreshing difference today!  Organ aficionados have made wonderful use of new media to spread the gospel about their beloved instrument to everyone interested.  This package is a sterling example, put together not only with much research but a tender-loving care that makes every moment a delight. Interviews with authorities are mostly in English but partly in French. Subtitles are provided in several languages.  Cavaille-Coll was a walking miracle, whose life mission was to build the finest organs in the world whether it made him rich or not.  I'm with those many who think he succeeded.  He certainly transformed the musical life of France, both with his innovative instruments themselves and his promotion of those organist-composers creative enough to make full use of them.  Highly recommended not only for organists, but anyone interested in French culture, and votaries of beauty in general.

title: Music for mountain climbers

text:
I gulped the first time I listened to the latest Morse masterpiece.  I sort of liked it, or at least I thought I might.  However, I knew this was was going to be an exhausting adventure...but oh, so worth it.

This is not a album for the Tweeting generation.  Like classical music compositions of old, this is not just a collection of  'hits'.  You can't listen to the 'best-of' in 5 minutes.  It is a great work, but you've got to treat it a little like hiking in the Himalayas.  You need to be well-prepared for the long journey.  Physically and mentally fit.

I love the album, more, every time I play it.  The catalyst for me was seeing it performed live.  You realize this isn't a bunch of seasoned pro's, stretching things out, because they get paid by the hour.  This is a work of art, from craftsmen.  On stage, you see Morse, put everything he has into his music.  It is incredible to witness such passion.  Anyone who knows his story will know why.  Its real.  You feel it.

Wonderful songs.  Breathtaking musicianship.  Unbelievable passion.  Great for a long car journey.

Don't worry.  If you don't like the length of the album, or the font on the cover etc, just wait 5 minutes and Neal will have another beautiful album come behind it.  That one might suit you better.  For me, I'm just grateful, I can listen to man and a band at their prime.


title: Desperately Searching for This CD for Years

text: This CD is one of the most anointed projects I’ve ever had the privilege to experience. Years ago, before I had the forethought to upload this CD, it BROKE! I have been searching for it ever since. If you’re blessed enough to listen to it, savor it!


title: The best

text: First discovered this band years ago when I first bought this CD. The songs are amazing, and well written. My first copy got lost in the move, but I was relieved to find one here!  Wish they were still around.


title: This is a heart cry!

text: The pastor of our church is being burdened to earnestly pray for revival, and as my husband and I want to come along side him in this, I've found that the songs on this cd-especially Arise Oh Lord and Come Holy Spirit, have captured our hearts' cry.  We are thankful for Lindell Cooley's desperate need for the Lord as it comes out in his music!


title: Awesome musical group

text: $900 who's selling this cassette Biden, > can bring g the whole group to my house for that , better loose some zeros.


This two disc set album contains  very nice interpretation of Croatian and some Italian tunes.


title: Five Stars

text: A very good set of songs of Lubiana from  the singer Arsen Dedic with a Mediterranean air..


title: Five Stars

text: Great purchase, great seller


title: Epic

text: I remember these guys back when I heard Reevolution for the first time. Their first album is still technically amazing and purely awesome on every level. They take the "Industrial Metal" label to a far off and unreachable new level that defies all labels. Sybreed is truly unique and honestly, they seem to get better and better every new album they come out with. Very few bands that can pull that.


title: Five Stars

text: I listen to this all the time.


title: AKB48

text: I've chosen 5 stars because I like everything done sharp with this girls group on CD/DVD. Good luck to all the listeners!


title: Great video for those interested in dub music

text: This video (that also includes a CD with all the music in the video), depicts an amazing musician and his achievements. The photography does not have the best quality, most of the video is dark and the rest of the musicians are always in the background. The title of this video says "Lee Scratch meets Mad Professor", but I did not see Mad Professor anywhere, maybe is one of those musicians left in the background.  The best in this DVD is the sound quality (it even has the Dolby 5.1 option) and the music. Lee Scratch is one of my favorites musicians in dub/reggae, it mixes all kind of sounds to create extraordinary songs, they can take you from the mood to the extasis.  Something funny about this video is that Lee Perry is smoking weed along footage, you may feel the smell of weed in your living room.


title: ANOTHER SUPER WILLIE NELSON PURCHASE!

text: I was very pleased with this purchase.  The service was quick and accurate, and Willie Nelson's unique singing voice and style always satisfies his fans!


title: The best.

text: Anything by Beth is great. One of the best female singers alive IMO. She could sing the dictionary and it would be great.


title: Great live and great music

text: I new Dave and the guys in Belleville Il. Great live and great music. So is this from dave or a fan bootleg? He gave me another album which I would never profit from. Dave on vocal & guitar, his brother on base?  and another guy i've seen in other bands. twenty years ago so memory is fuzzy but music is timeless. Self produced and recorded so I hope they get the money.


title: Another Great Harry James Recording!

text: I am an unabashed Harry James fan.  This was one LP I didn't have in my collection and I have never seen a CD version.  The music is a great example of HJ at his finest in the '60s.  I am not only happy with the LP itself but the manner in which the seller advertised, priced it and shipped it.


title: Completion of My Set of the RCA Victor Encyclopedia of Recorded Jazz

text: I chose this rating because it completes my set of records which provide a "sound" history of Jazz by its most important interpreters.<br />While all of these greats have passed, it is important for me to have my own personal set of their important recordings of the day.


title: yo man who is this?

text: One of my favorite albums out of the tde camp well put together and creative, absolutely ab soul


title: Samples

text: With such an intriguing title appealing to Western and Eastern Christian chant, too bad there is not a sample of the music to get a sense of how this was accomplished.


title: Joy was the thing

text: John Denver said that he never thought his studio albums were as good as his concerts, so I have been collecting as many live concert recordings as are available.  I think he had something there.  The energy that a live audience projects, and with John Denver concerts the energy is enormous, brings out perfection. Fun too are his comments around the selections. I highly recommend this set, recorded in the 80s from three live concerts when John's voice was at its richest.


title: Delightful and Timeless Christmas Music

text: I love this music because it's timeless.  The songs are done in an unconventional way, yet they delight me every year.  This will uplift you and get you in the mood for Christmas as you listen to it.  Great and diverse vocals, clever arrangements and great instrumentation.


title: Great to hear the harmonies

text: Most likely you need to be a certain age to love this music. They are excellent and it brings back great memories and the music is truly great. If you don't like them, please just move on, no comment necessary


title: Great sounds and music

text: I had this recording on cassette years ago.  Now on CD, love it.


title: There is a place...

text: So happy this was a true 1991 cd that features Tony the Pony. Classic album


title: Bootleg CD

text: Nice collection, but it is not an authorized release.  I bought a copy from a bootleg vendor in Canada.  I am happy with the product but purchasers should be aware that it is a bootleg.


title: OK "Unofficial" Crazy Horse CD

text: This is listed as an "unofficial" release on a European record label.  The quality is just OK.  The source of the recording is not listed anywhere on the packaging.  There is little depth to the sound.  It almost sounds like cassette quality.  It is in stereo.  The bass is particularly absent.  On the other hand,  it is a fairly complete Crazy Horse performance.  It includes some humorous dialogue by the band between a couple of songs that makes this CD fairly unique.  I have many Crazy Horse performances on bootleg CD's that are far better quality than this CD.  But for the obsessive collectors among us,  this CD is probably a worthy purchase.

She is a little disappointed that they are not all the versions we picked (from first and newer on some of the people), but she still really likes it!

title: The real...STUFF!

text: Great live recording from Paris of the Sonny Simmons/Michael Marcus working band The Cosmosamatics. The highlight must be track 4 "Telergy". Sonny solos like a demon for the first 14 minutes of this 24 minute track. This is the real...STUFF! (not the s-word I was going to use!). Cecil Taylor Unit alumni Andrew Cyrille is the special guest on this disc. If this isn't what you live for do an Amazon search for Kenny G or Kurt Elling or who knows what barf!??


title: Saxes and Drums sans Bass

text: This 3rd disc from The Cosmosamatics features 4 studio cuts and 4 live tracks. All are performed by the saxes and drums sans bass. Overall it lacks the fire of their 1st disc, but not bad either.


title: Phenomenal!

text: Sam Rivers recorded this disc the day before his 80th birthday! He plays with the energy of an 18 year old! He is backed by percussionists Adam Rudolph and Harris Eisenstadt. Just under 53 minutes in length. Absolute must-own for anyone who likes adventurous free-form improvisation. One of Sam Rivers all-time greatest recordings!


title: Unlistenable

text: I have tons of Sonny Simmons discs but this was so awful I've already traded it away. Life is too short to listen to bad music!!!


title: NOT "As It Should Be"...soundwise

text: Ornette Coleman(alto,trumpet,violin), Dewey Redman(tenor,Arabic oboe),Charlie Haden(bass),Ed Blackwell(drums). Recorded at Bilzen Festival August 24,1969. Tracks: 1. As It Should Be 2. Space Jungle 3. Song For Che 4. Broken Shadows 5. Count Down. Sound quality: poor. On an audio fidelity scale of 1 to 10 I would place this in about the 2 to 3 range, for serious Ornette collectors only.  On reconsideration I might give this a 4. Maybe I'm just accustomed to not so great live recordings. There are plenty of Coltrane boots that are worse than this.


title: Keeping the flame alive

text: Sonny Simmons and Michael Marcus playing music in the spirit of the jazz avant garde of the sixties. Albert Ayler fans may either appreciate or be put off by Marcus' playing on track 1. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but as a Caucasian male I have decidedly mixed feelings when I hear a non African-American aping a jazz legend. Overall though not a bad recording, just not terribly original.


title: Excellent

text: As good as any of his blue note albums from the sixties. Great album

title: A new Krekie

text: I am a native Louisvillian and feel somewhat guilty that I have waited until this point in my life to discover one of Louisville's treasures!  A friend I work with began telling me about Tim being in concert locally and suddenly my mind twirled back to the 70's & 80's when I heard his name mentioned and remembered he was from Louisville and had toured with Jimmy Buffett, but for some reason I wasn't compelled to find out more until now. I have to admit I am 100% addicted, I listen to him at my desk at work, in my car, on my IPod, on the plane and I go to every local concert I can.  Folks, Tim is just like you and I, having experienced life from both sides, the good and the bad, but remains positive and upbeat and committed to bringing Louisvillians a wonderful concert 2-3 nights a week and writing songs with a local flavor. I recommend this CD "Underground" as well as his 2 newer ones,"World Keeps Turnin'" and "Soul Season".  You can find out more about Tim and where he's performing at [...]. Thanks for reading!


title: Grazie a Dio! Grazie a Dio!!

text:
I think this might be what Andrea and his family say - perhaps in their quieter moments with family and friends enjoying a Mediterranean afternoon - Thanks be to God! Thank God!!
And who can blame him because the wheel of fortune has indeed been kinder to him for fame and finances than for his physical affliction.
This CD has received very mixed reviews I think based on people's prior exposure to tenors, Verdi and just operatic singing in general.
Andrea would be the first to agree that his voice is not up there with the best, but if people get a good feeling from it - then so be it.
But opera singing is one of those few areas of endeavour where true talent is on show and there are no excuses and no hiding the outcome regardless of how we might feel about the individual. Is that good or bad? Who knows but it’s been that way for several hundred years now.  So someone from the least likely background will bubble to the surface if they have the talent.
It doesn’t matter how one spins it, but Andrea is not in that league. One only has to listen to the two Rigoletto pieces to see that.  The Duke is a virile and unprincipled character and the very voice, words and music tell the story - Andrea's delivery is thin, weak and unconvincing.  But that’s not the point - for if people like it then: Grazie a Dio for Andrea!


title: Excellent customer service

text: This seller sent me the wrong cd and evidently did not have the correct cd in stock.  When I notified him of the error, he promptly refunded my money and told me to keep the cd.  That's what I call customer service.  I will not hesitate to purchase from this vender again.


title: Worth Every (Metric, Not Imperial Butt Ton Of) Penny

text: zOMG! Totally worth the price! Nevermind I had to give the world's currency away, and put the world in debt for the next 50 years to buy it. I guarantee every penny you spend on this (That's a lot of pennies, I KNOW!) will be worth it! Beethoven has NEVER sounded like this. Your only dilemma may being find anymore money to buy your own copy. So sorry! You know what they say, you snooze you lose!

title: "We Are Love"...TWO VERSIONS!

text:
Be warned though: there are two versions of this CD. One has "Il Volo" in blue on the cover (as shown here) and the other has the words in white. The one shown here is longer, having the songs "Cosi", "Tous Les Visages De L'amour" plus some X'mas songs.
The one with white letters has "Angel", "Little Things", "Surrender", and "Can You Feel The Love Tonight". Both have "Questo Amore", "L'Ultima Volta", "Il Canto", "Beautiful Day", "I Bring You to my Senses", "We Are Love", "Historia de un Amor" and "Luna Nascosta".
You need both to compete your Il Volo collection.

you was pretty expensive but my father was very happy


title: authentic renderings in Italian mostly, I believe, and some Neapolitan.

text: I first heard Signore Ruggiero sing at the Jarvis Conservatory. He possesses a warm, loving and deep baritone voice, capable of rendering<br />each song his own, and I feel he delivers an authentic, expressive interpretation of Pennino's turn of the century music written for the Italian stage and theater. As an accompanist, I was especially interested in hearing how these were performed because my tenor was starting to learn some Pennino when we performed at Coppola's in Geyserville. We learned a great deal from listening to Ruggiero's CD and enjoyed every track. This CD is truly Italian "roots" music in the old salon style.

text: Arrived sooner then it supposed to!  Nice quality.  The album also including a poster and 2 IU cute pictures from this company!


title: Waltz Across Texas

text: This is an good Waltz record. I use it for different occasions. If they do not want to do a line dance or just want to Waltz. It's easy to show how to do the Texas Waltz.Nice beat and song goes great for Waltzing. You do not have to know how to do the Texas Waltz to do this record.You can just Waltz to it. I don't use the other side of this record much unless it's for fill in.


title: the best

text: i've personally met this dude and he's awsome, as is this album. Seriously this has got something for everybody and its all great. A slamin album from the dude.


title: Essential music; available cheaper elsewhere

text:
If you are at all interested in post-1965 developments in jazz as art, this music is absolutely as good as it gets. If you're a serious listener/collector (or a musician interested in this area), it's absolutely essential.

At this writing, the lone copy available here is going for around US $900.00.
You can find significantly cheaper copies (around $200-300) at Discogs. Just so you know.

title: Find this CD

text: I have over 1000 cd's in my collection. This cd is easily in my top 10. In fact, based on how much I listen to it, it's easily number one. It has the great sound of slow blues, rockin' blues, upbeat tunes and one acoustic tune for a change of pace. The lyrics, guitar playing and vocals are all top notch. The lyrics are well written, meaningful, and emotionally sung. Zito's guitar playing can keep up with the best of them. You need find this cd online somewhere. You won't be disappointed.

text: Great Album. I feel it should be noted that this material and more is available on the Tarkio album Omnibus which is a compilation of all their recorded music. The first disc comprises this album in entirety and the second disc has all of their other recorded material. It is available on Amazon with free prime shipping. This is great for hardcore fans and collectors either way.


title: Brilliant.

text: I had not even known the band made a third album.  When I found out, I searched everywhere for it.  Luckily I found it on Amazon.  This CD was much rawer and stripped down than the first two, but it was boldly experimental.  It is more mature and maybe somewhat darker, but it is no less brilliant.

title: As Close To A "Continuation" As We'll See Of The Original Battlestar Galactica

text:
This professionally made audio drama of four stories is for fans of the original "Battlestar Galactica" a labor of love where the grabber is our ability to hear many surviving members of the show come together to take part in the effort in which they are playing the characters we knew and loved......but because of the legal rights issues we can not hear them address each other by name, and that is also why the words "Battlestar Galactica" and the term "Cylon" can never be uttered (which is ironic when you think of how original fans would use term "Galactica In Name Only" for the other entity but this project is Galactica in all *but* name!).

The first story actually takes the B-movie "Space Mutiny" which used a lot of Galactica F/X footage (and was sent up mercilessly on MST3K) and turns its plot into something within the Galactica universe.  This episode allows for equal participation of the returning Galactica cast, Terry Carter (Colonel Tigh), Sarah Rush (Rigel), Laurette Spang (Cassiopeia), Anne Lockhart (Sheba), Jack Stauffer (Bojay) and Noah Hathway (Boxey) with Carter getting the big heroic moment.  Richard Hatch was supposed to be part of the project but sadly passed away in the pre-production stage.  Nonetheless, references are made to the "Commander" who is supposed to be Apollo and it is also said that Commander Adama is currently in a coma (some archival audio of Lorne Greene is used at a couple points, as is archival audio of John Colicos to provide a link to Baltar with one of the new characters in "Space Mutiny").  It obviously helps if you are a Galactica expert and you know right away who is supposed to be who.

The second story "Fail Safe" is a two-character story of Laurette (Cassiopeia) and Sarah (Rush) saving the day.  The third story "Quarantine Void" features Noah and Robyn Douglass from "Galactica 1980" and even if you are like me, part of the majority who regards "Galactica 1980" as a horrible nightmare, the story that emerges is actually a very interesting attempt to show how the long-term future of the Fleet can potentially include a path to either the events of Richard Hatch's 1999 trailer project *or* that of "Galactica 1980".  The final story "Paradise Void" features Jack (Bojay) and Anne (Sheba) and also two new characters as the ruins of another planet's civilization are explored.  The overall end of the storyline arc offers a callback to the final episode of the original series "The Hand Of God".

Fans who have had to content themselves with their own subjective impressions and visions of how things turned out in the universe of original Galactica should approach this series from the standpoint of appreciating that we get to hear so many cast members reunited once again.  In the process, hearing them interact offers a reminder of how the chemistry and camaraderie among the actors in the characters they created has long represented the heart of Galactica's enduring appeal with those who first experienced the show as children and learned to keep enjoying it as adults.

Thank you Daniel Earnshaw for your work and effort in making this possible.


title: Good CD

text: If you like something different like Chronic Future or Linkin Park you'll probably like this.


title: A deeply appealing CD

text: This beautifully produced CD begins at the highest level with a deep, soulful piece called "I Still Yearn" and grows from there. The singing and songwriting are superb _ adult and insightful but still melodic and structured. It's a very strong sound, made without compromises, and calls out for repeated listening. There are no duds here, and the style is direct and personal. This one yields more the more you listen.

title: Very nice.... very nice...

text:
Great CD of relaxing, moving and invigorating compositions. really a good cd, even for those not necessarily into classical. Different symphonies, conductors and composers give different dynamics to each song. Wonderful track list, opening with the Sleeping Beauty Waltz, marching into the Toreadors, from Carmer, and then the delicate Swan Theme, from Swan Lake.

The transition into Hebride's Overture fits well, retaining the delicacy, yet gradually rising in intensity level and builds to a great finish. The Swan, from Carnival of the Animals, provides a nice, relaxed, bedding to rest after the previous song. From here, it is to the grand, mighty and majestic, In the Hall of the Mountain King.

On from this is the Radetsky March, which most likely is my least favorite on the album, but nonetheless gets me with it's builds and swells, going very quiet, making you want to dance in a ball room, then picking up a bit with big, loud horns and percussion, with the strings carrying the main melody.

From here, the Cd begins to get into even more moving territory. Light Cavalry Overture, with many parts invoking different feelings and emotions.

Onto The Sea and Sinbad's Ship, with strings playing a slow, almost haunting melody, that puts you right onboard of a ship at sea, swaying back and forth from the waves, sailing into the horizon.

Then it is The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, always nice, which is complemented by the Dance of the Reed Fultes.

Then it is the moving Willam Tell Overture.

Then the March to the Scaffold, which starts very dark and quiet, yet builds to a charge of a revolt!

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik now comes, and while I enjoy this work, it doesn't seem to flow well with the other tracks. Perhaps because I'll always remember it from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, with Jim Carrey, and always relating it to acting like a connoisseur.

The CD ends with the 1812 Overture, which works very well. A great work to provide a great finish.

Highly recommended CD!

text: This is great CD!  I love the piano -  he writes and plays beautifully.  I enjoy listening to the entire CD over and over - very relaxing.  I have two of his CDs and you can't go wrong with this CD.


title: Pitiful.

text: This looks like a collection of just a few good songs, with the rest B sides from who knows where. I wouldn't waste even a few dollars on it.


title: Not right.

text: Most of these songs don't sound like the originals. They are either album cuts, outtakes, or very poor remixes. Whatever they are, they aren't correct, and I wouldn't buy this compilation.


title: Another blatant rip-off.

text: I don't see the CD I was going to buy locally (Chapter 10), but if the other chapters are similar to 10, forget about them. Only 3 of the 15 tracks are the originals. The other 13 are new stereo recordings. This is "revealed" in very tiny small print near the bottom of the rear cover, and almost invisible asterisks next to each of the 3 original songs' titles. And, the 3 originals are readily available on other, much more honest compilations. Avoid this rip-off, and save your hard earned money.


title: Could be much better.

text:
While this is a good collection of early songs, overall (except for the Little Richard track; it seems to be very difficult for compilation producers to clear and include his single version originals), it is just about the most poorly edited and authored CD I have seen.
And, the other reviewer is correct that the Beatles used a variation of Little Richard's "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" song, and not Wilbert Harrison's, for their Kansas City version. I don't have the Peggy Lee version of "Till There Was You", but will take his word for it that this is the one that the Beatles used (which I do have, and it does sound like more her style).
If you can live with the jarring sound of segments of previous and succeeding tracks playing when an individual track is selected, and the abrupt ending of all of the tracks, then this is a good deal for $1.94.
The CD I have only has 15 tracks, and Amazon sells one:
[[ASIN:tracks Roots Paul Mccartney]]
that has more (24 tracks), for only a few dollars more, from some sellers.


title: What a sad, sad mess

text:
Deserves zero stars.
Like many other albums from this company, this one comes with a small print disclaimer, almost hidden on the bottom of the rear cover insert: "Selections marked (*) are the original recordings. All other selections are new stereo recordings performed by the original lead singer with one or more members of the original group."
Aside from the fact that these new recordings, on this and other such phony "compilations", are really gag-inducing, awful caricatures of some great songs, this particular album is mis-marked, with only one of the three supposed "originals" actually an original (Track 5; Cool Jerk). Even that track is mixed so poorly for this CD that it is way down in the mud, audio level-wise.
This thing is a total waste of money, which is better spent on the actual originals, by the original artists, as originally released.
Life is short, so why settle for anything less?

title: Disk 1 lays it down and Disk 2 brings you home

text: This is maybe the best single album in the global underground series, surpassing the Oakenfold New York album and Warren's Budapest 2 disc triumph. Disk 1 is more housey and danceable with two standout tracks being the superb 'Move!' by Christian Smith and John Selway and of course the classic Stage One by Space Manoeuvres.<br />Disk 2 is simply outstanding. Starting out with three outstanding tracks. The first song on the album by Sasha's "discovery" Brian Transeau (BT) is "Fibonacci Sequence," a hell of a tune that breaks and pops all over the place with a ripping bassline-- can be played over and over again. Track 3, Cass & Slide's "Perception" is excellent with a pounding bassline that sets you right up for expander... Listening to this album on Mini at the end of a long day it just puts you out of the rat race into your own world on the tube. As I was saying... Sasha slams into a hard edged version of his club anthem Expander on track 4.  My favorite track on the record is BT's mercury & solace, a song of breathtaking beauty that Sasha blends magically. When the bass drops around the 4:30 mark and the vocals precede a hard kick back in, you'll be like, "TUNE!" jumping around on the subway with all the other people looking at you like your some kind of junkie :) Solid. The disc concludes with table partner Digweed's enterprising Bedrock anthem, "Heaven Scent," perhaps THE SONG that 1999 trance music will be remembered by. All that's left to do when it fades out is to hit PLAY again. A MUST HAVE ALBUM.

I think this review is more a response to some of the complaining here than anything else.  Yes 10-14 years ago Reznor looked like he might be the biggest musical genius in at least a generation.  No, that hasn't turned out to be the case.  His last real masterpiece was the Fragile.  If you include Still, he's done 5 albums since then.  It should be pretty clear by now exactly what he does and that he probably won't be reinventing the wheel again.  If you're still around after all this time and all these albums, you have to be taking some pleasure from the records he's doing.  Yes, it would be fair to call him a 2 trick pony (if you include his other formula for ballads), but he's good at it- very, very good at it.  My advice is to just sit back and enjoy the ride (silly lyrics and all).  It's taken me some getting used to the fact that new NIN albums now only stay in heavy rotation for a month or two (TDS was in constant rotation for over a year, and the Fragile has managed to stay in regular rotation for an amazing 9 years now), but compare to anyone besides Reznor, a month of heavy rotation is quite respectable.

Just take him for what he is now, and enjoy him.  That's my advice.  He's still quite talented.

re: love - forever changes

after all these years (40!)love's "forever changes" is still relevent lyrically. their music is truly representative of the l.a. scene back in the day... looking past the material concerns of a previous generation and speaking to the brotherhood of man. and those mariachi horns and the flaminco guitar stylings... definitely provided the ethnic appeal that set Love apart from other great bands playing our multicultural city in the mid to late sixties. and there were many great bands to be heard, indeed.

title: John Harbison's take on The Great Gatsby

text:
It is almost impossible to adapt F. Scott Fitzgerald's [[ASIN:0743273567 The Great Gatsby]] and please every one. Indeed, the readers often have very different takes on Fitzgerald's multi-layered characters. To cite 2 examples: Very few have called [[ASIN:B001K3KK0Q Jack Clayton's 1974 film]] or [[ASIN:B0067EKYVI Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film]] unmitigated success.(*1) With full knowledge of the difficulty, it was a brave decision by the composer John Harbison and the Metropolitan Opera's music director James Levine to create a new opera based on Fitzgerald's iconic novel.

John Harbison, born 20 Dec 1938 in Orange, New Jersey, is one of the most prominent and established (American) composers. When this opera was commissioned jointly by the Met and the Chicago Lyric Opera, he already had a Pulitzer Prize (1987) and MacArthur "genius" Fellowship (1989) under his belt. The commission was part of celebration of the Met's 25th anniversary with Levine, who conducted the premiere performance on 20 Dec 1999 in the Lincoln Center. It was quite an event, as "we" knew back then that this would be the last "grand" (i.e. non-chamber) opera of the last millennium.(*2)  The current recording was made from a live performance broadcast on New Year's Day of 2000 with the original cast and original score. (Harbison slightly revised the score for the Chicago premiere and a reduced version was done for the Boston premiere.)(*3)

Harbison's score reveals craft and imagination of a great composer. It mixes the popular idioms of 1920's and the idioms of the contemporary art music seamlessly if not absolutely effortlessly. "Ambient" music, like radio and jazz band music, has key moments in the opera.(*4) Asked about the transitions between different music idioms, the composer said in an interview that "it didn't feel difficult. Either I'm deluding myself or I've found an idiom that bridges the gap." Even though a fully modern work, it is imbued with rich, brilliant orchestraion and with lyrical outpouring. Whenever called for, modern harmony and instrumentation are there to serve the drama. Such as near the end of the interlude between Act I Scene 1 and Scene 2, the "machinistic sound" evokes Wilson's garage, to be seen soon by the audience. Indeed, the orchestral interludes and the opening overture are among the most interesting music of the opera and can probably stand on their own and form great "orchestral suites" for the concert hall. Levine greatly admires the music. In an interview, he said that "The Great Gatsby is one of the greatest new opera scores I've seen in years." Not a small compliment when it comes from the most experienced opera conductor living today.

The composer Harbison writes the libretto himself, helped by Murray Horwitz who writes the pop song lyrics. In the accompanying program note to the score, Harbison writes that

""The Great Gatsby is a music-driven opera in which the composer bullied the librettist as they worked together. Every choice was in favor of musical opportunities; Fitzgerald's novel was "respected" only insofar as it furthered the musical design.""

And yet, personally, I find that Harbison's libretto might still be too respectful of Fitzgerald for its own good. What opera is good at is theatrical (melo)drama. It is often not good at literary nuances. Harbison must have known many successful examples inside out, more than I can possible know. For example, Foster and Crozier's adpatation of Hermann Melville's Billy Budd for [[ASIN:B0012L0TEI Britten]] and Arrito Boito's adaptation of Shakespeare for Verdi. Boito and Verdi were not afraid of tearing Shakespeare's beautiful prose-poetry apart in the name of opera. There lies a lesson.

When listening to this opera on CDs, I cannot help but comparing it with Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande, Wagner's Parsifal and sometimes [[ASIN:B00005M998 Bolcolm's A View from the Bridge]]. When I find things I don't completely agree with, I search for similar examples in those operas and imagine how "things" can be made even more effective. Might some consistent usage of leitmotifs be of help, especially during the prolonged "conversational recitatives" when the orchestra carries more musical weights? Might some trimming of conversations in favor of emotionally more direct arias or duets carry the drama better? -- But really, who am I to teach Harbison how to write an opera or its libretto?!

Indeed, these small reservations might just be my personal biases. Perhaps it will take decades for the opera to take off, as in the case of Boris Godunov. I am therefore hoping that this opera gets staged often in the next decade(s). Time will tell.

The recorded performance is generally excellent. Levine directs the music which mixes American popular idioms of the 1920's and contemporary art music as only an American can. The female singers are simply amazing. With Dawn Upshaw as Daisy Buchanan, Susan Graham as Jordan Baker and Lorraine Hunt Lieberson as Myrtle Wilson, you have a dream cast! Sadly to say that Jerry Hadley's forceful and rather straightforward Jay Gatsby does not carry the character for me. Still this is a very good performance, one that serves the opera well.

The 3-CD set is housed in a cardboard digi-pak, and the libretto is *not* included. The libretto can be obtained separately from G. Schirmer [[ASIN:0793575419 The Great Gatsby: Opera Libretto]].

Listening to this opera again on CDs reminds me of William Bolcom's opera [[ASIN:B00005M998 A View from the Bridge]], adapted from Arthur Miller's play by the playwright himself and Arnold Weinstein. (Good performance and music there too. Do not miss!) I should also mention that André Previn's [[ASIN:B00000G3XH A Streetcar Named Desire]] was premiered just one year before [[ASIN:B0064THP7M The Great Gatsby]] in San Francisco. It was said that two composers often called each other to exchange thoughts. My feeling is that Harbison's score is the most ambitious of the three.(*5)

Very highly recommended.

-------------
(*1) Note, however, that Tennessee Williams, in his book Memoirs (p. 178), wrote: "It seems to me that quite a few of my stories, as well as my one acts, would provide interesting and profitable material for the contemporary cinema, if committed to ... such cinematic masters of direction as Jack Clayton, who made of The Great Gatsby a film that even surpassed, I think, the novel by Scott Fitzgerald." -- Quoted from Wikipedia.

(*2) This new millennium starts on 1st January 2001.

(*3) Living in Princeton back then, I was able to attend the 2002 revival of the opera at the Met. -- This recording of the 2000 performance was finally available only a few months ago. To the best of my fading memory of the 2002 performance, there is no major revision. -- For those who can make it, there will be performances of the reduced version in July 2013 in Tanglewood Music Festival!

(*4) The jazz music in this opera is original. Harbison feels that the quoted jazz music would be distracting for his opera and decided to compose original jazz music in the style of 1920s. (He started a jazz band when he was 12.)

(*5) I was not aware of Bolcom's opera when I first attended the 2002 performance of The Great Gatsby, and I was too poor (a graduate student!) to buy tickets for the premiere performance of Previn's opera, even though I was at Berkeley at that time.


title: Excellent performance, but ...

text:
This budget set contains 4 previously issued CD sets:

[[ASIN:B001JJX7MO Händel: Israel in Egypt]] (and 2 coronation anthems Zadok the Priest and The King Shall Rejoice) (2CD)
[[ASIN:B0018NUM5Q Jephtha]] (3CD)
[[ASIN:B000KQGOCW Händel: Saul]] (3CD)
[[ASIN:B000E8N7QM Handel: Solomon]] (2CD)

However, it does not give too much price break, and the libretto is *not* included. If the budget is of the greatest concern, and you don't already own any of these, all the libretti can be found at OperaGlass's website.

As for the performances, I haven't heard Israel in Egypt, but all others are top-notch. Reviews can be found at the links above.

Note that this performance of Israel of Egypt consists only 2 parts: Exodus and Moses' Song. The first part (Lamentation of the Israelites for the Death of Joseph), which was an adaptation of the Queen's funeral anthem to a new text, was omitted. For a complete 3-part version, [[ASIN:B000083LQN Andrew Parrott's rendition]] can be highly recommended.

title: A mystery solved

text: Great fun! Here is an obscure budget classical LP which was probably sold in drugstores, supermarkets, etc. The "Rome Symphony Orchestra/Leonardo Scotti, Conductor" is a fiction. Most of the releases on this label were known to have come from Everest or Vox; Leslie Gerber of Parnassus Records purchased a copy of this one to find out what it was, and it turns out to be the only known issue of the stereo master of Jascha Horenstein's recording of The Rite Of Spring, with the Southwest German Radio Orchestra of Baden-Baden, said to have been made in 1957. The copy I purchased through Amazon was in pretty good condition for a 50-year-old second-hand record; the stereo sound is very good for that era, and nobody knows why Vox only ever issued the mono edition. The stereo image wanders a bit, as though an engineer was playing with the controls during the editing or mastering, and the reverb added to the recording is mono, which is obvious if you listen with headphones. These minor imperfections may have been regarded by Vox as defects serious enough to prevent its issue. At any rate, a fascinating discovery for Horenstein fans!

This film looks great and the acting is pretty good, but the story line is so dopey it ruins the film overall.  The posse has got to be the dumbest bunch of fools to ever hit the trail.

WARNING: PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD (as if the plot wasn't already spoiled by the writers)

Previous reviewers have pointed out some of the more ridiculous gaffes, like a guy getting gut shot one day and riding around just fine the next.  Here's a few more: Despite the villain getting away repeatedly, nobody in the posse ever thinks to put a blindfold over his eyes or a sack over his head.  Nor do they ever tie a rope to leash him to someone or something.  Then they head into Injun' territory with the bad guys hot on their trail.  So what do they do?  They stop and camp for the night (instead of pushing on) with a nice big fire so the Apaches can easily find them!  When they get to town they decide to wait for the train by hiding at the hotel.  Gee whiz, I bet them bad guys will never think to look at the hotel.  Not!  We later find out the hotel is half a mile from the station.  Hmmm, not a real good location unless you want to give the baddies plenty of chances to blast you as you run for the train.  They probably should have put the 14 year old kid in charge of the posse - he seems to be the only one with brains and initiative.  I wanted to like this film but the implausibility is almost as bad as "High Noon."  Apparently, if you believe this story, the West was won by cowards and fools.


title: Brilliant Album!

title: Love this CD from Marty Goetz

text: Love this CD from Marty Goetz!  That his songs are based upon the Word of God is an added bonus.  Marty has an excellent voice and presents all of his offerings with reverence. Believers would welcome having these songs sung in their home from beginning to end.  "Search Me O God" touches my heart every time I hear it and "He is Here" is a joyous song of His return.  Well done, Marty!


title: Kids Enjoy this CD!

text: I use this CD with my special needs students. They enjoy the soothing sounds of the steel pans. Great music activities to use with or with out instruments.  Knote


title: Cultural fluency for travelers

text: These CDs complement a German language workbook which has the potential to assist travelers to Germany to be fluent in everyday situations involving transportation, hotel accommodations, restaurants and shopping.


title: Great update for timeless material.  Very good quality and clarity.

text: Faulty cd  will get refund


title: Fantastic Latin Funk

text: Ivo Merielles is a Brazilian Samba musician. He is the son of Fernando Meirelles, who has directed films like City of God about Brazilian street kids.  In Funk N Lata, Ivo put together a band of those kids.  They mainly played carnival percussion, which gives the recording a huge bottom end to complement the keyboards and Ivo's guitar.  My only quibble is that the recording doesn't catch the band's raucous live energy, which can be heard in their medleys on the compilation CD Brazilian Beats 4 [[ASIN:B000XJ4248 Brazilian Beats Box Set]], and at the end of the film Moro No Brasil [[ASIN:B000FIHNHU Moro No Brasil]], a film about Brazilian Music.


title: A memento

text: I already knew the "La Traviata" of 1955; I just got this one in order to compare both interpretations. These are the kind of artists who know very well their job; everything they do is good, so the classification is A+.


title: Excellent!

text:
These are enjoyable concertos, full of joy.

The Budapest strings make a delightfull sound and you can get a complete set of the Op.5, 7 and 9 concertos on the same box, for a very affordable price (look for).

The sound is not cristal clear but the playing is exciting.

You can try either the Naxos series of these concertos, the Nikol Matt with the Sttutgart Chamber and even the Negri version on PHILIPS with a clear spaciouos sound although a bit old, but very good.

Get them.

title: The best 4 Seasons

text:
The I Musici ensemble, even playing with modern strings, still have a singular all-Stradivari group sound and a Vivaldi verve you can't find anywere.

This reading with Pinna Carmirelli is shurelly the best avaiable, much better than the paralel recording (older) with Felix Ayo and Roberto Michelluchi.

Get this and be carefull not to 'fly away through the window'...

Nice listening,

Capezio


title: Not the best I Musici Four Seasons - try the digital version

text:
Listening to the track samples is easy to know that this CD is one of the old Four Seasons recorded in ADD by this great ensemble.

I particulary suggest you to change your mind buying instead the same recording piece (except the L'estro Armonico), recorded by the same team on digital format.

The recording was made far back in 1982 but is much more clear and Pina Carmirelli (the violin soloist) and the crew put's far more blood and tension than this old one.

The CD is avaiable in Amazon.com on:

[[ASIN:B0000040VO Vivaldi Quattro Stagioni Four Seasons]]

 This is my sincerelly advice.


title: Poor Performance of Awful, Maudlin Music

text: The only saving grace of this CD is the Cover Art -- a rotogravure of the RMS Aquitania. This music is really quite terrible. I've tried listening to it about a half a dozen times but to no avail. The only reaon I keep it<br />around is for the CD cover.


title: Perhaps Walter's Best recording of Mahler's Fourth

text: The pace of this version of Mahler's Fourth is so much more appropriate to the greatness of this early work. The slow movement desrerves more of a sense of occasion than Walter gave it with the NYP in 1946. Thus, this emerges as the best of Walter's effort in this work. Seefried is quite superior to Haliban in the solo part of the last movement. This is a live recording from 1950 in Salzburg with the Vienna Philharmonic, the same orchestra with which Walter premiered the work in Vienna.


title: Christoph Ullrich may be the New Gold Standard for Scarlatti on the Piano

text: I used to listen to Pletnev, Babayan, Pogorelich, Sudbin, Arodaky, Haskil, Horowitz, et al. When I discovered the Ullrich recordings in Germany, I was completely converted. Although I still listen to Babayan and Arodaky, Ullrich's crustalline transparency, technical brilliance, and poetic imagination has me collecting each Tacet CD volume as they are released, until all 550 are recorded. Each volume is gorgeous and sets the gold standard in Scarlatti pianism. So far Volumes 1-5, 11, 14, and 15 are available. Don't wait until they go out of print. Each volume is 2 or 3 cds and generously full. Sample any one and you' won't regret it

title: A Really Excellent Recording, both Technically and Artistically

text: Nosrati seems to have devoted herself to perfecting this great, complex late Bach masterpiece. Over 85 minutes on just one disc, this performance exudes an extreme transparency of exprtesion with the utmost pognancy and long sense of line. A great performance, in the same league as other solo piano versions by Nikolayeva, Sokolov, Rosen, Feltsman, Ivo janssen, Kocsis, and Hewitt.


title: Natural Russian Lyricism

text: Dripping with sadness, the string tones are particularly mournful. The Borodins also naturally possess a Russian sensibility that is evident in their playing – not hesitating to move easily from being songful, conveying melancholy, or being morose, but all with natural lyricism. They perform this music with an easy familiarity, as if it was always part of their repertoire. However, they are in no way perfunctory; just very comfortable in music that is not that familiar to most listeners. They are very skillful in the 2nd movement theme and variations, with a brief but particularly joyful chorale at 10’15” of that movement that the Borodins play as a moment of wonder before the elegy sets in again. Even with that brief moment, this is not a performance of extremes. If anything, it is very even-keeled – in the 3rd movement coming to rest calmly at the end of the recapitulation of the opening funeral march to end the work.

Rachmaninov, Elegiaque Piano Trio No. 2, op. 9, in D-minor : Additional Notes and other Recordings
Like Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Chopin, Rachmaninov showed his compositional talent at an early age. He composed two piano trios: the first in G-minor, a one-movement elegiac work in the early months of 1892, and the second in D-minor, upon the death of his mentor Tchaikovsky in the last months of 1893. Although both works are regarded as youthful, they are separated by nearly two years (actually, 22 months) of significant maturity and compositional accomplishment by Rachmaninov – including, Aleko, the very famous and still-popular Prelude in C-sharp minor, his first Piano Concerto (later revised in 1917), his first Cello Sonata, and a symphonic fantasy titled The Rock, op. 7 -- of which Tchaikovsky had agreed to conduct the premiere the following spring, 1894.
The second Elegiaque Piano Trio of December 1893 was dedicated to Tchaikovsky and partially modelled on Tchaikovsky’s own Piano Trio, op. 50. The trio was composed at white heat in six weeks of intensely felt grief, sorrow, and admiration for the older composer. It was premiered in Moscow in January 1894, “In memory of a great artist” – the same subtitle Tchaikovsky had used in dedicating his own Trio, op. 50 to the memory of Nikolai Rubinstein. Since Rachmaninov’s own death in 1943, and the increasing popularity and importance accorded to his second symphony and second and third piano concertos, the Elegiaque Piano Trio, op. 9 has been recorded by most major professional trios and there are currently over 30 CD recordings (many that include the earlier one-movement piano trio of 1892 as a filler). The highly publicized 2017 Deutsche Grammophon recording under the title “Preghiera,” by Gidon Kremer, Giedre Dirvanauskaite, and Danil Trifonov, has done much to call attention to this music – although there are many worthier contenders for 5-star ratings. I have reviewed these separately under their individual Amazon.com listings and include: Trio Tchaikosvky (Concerto), De la Salle, Niziol, Herrman (Philharmonia Zurich), The Borodin Trio (Chandos), Trio Portici (Pavane), Gobel-Trio Berlin (Thorofon), Yoo, Sakharova, Arnadottir (Tavros), The Copenhagen Trio (Kontrapunkt),  Safariants, Uryayev, Shukayev, St. Petersburg Academy Trio (Audiopile Classics – in Amazon.com under Rachmaninov Trio Elegique Nos. 1 & 2 Safriants), Trio di Torino (RS), Svetlanov, Kogan, Luzanov (Russian Disc), Pasquier, Pidoux, Pennetier (Saphir), Budapest String Quartet (Bridge), and Serebrekov, Vaiman, Rostropovich (Russian Legacy).
For me, a great recording should take seriously the composer’s intent that it be performed as an elegy. Also, since this music is the very essence of romantic Russian chamber music, all these selections evince lyrical poetry and the composer’s unique brand of yearning melancholy. Reviewed but not making the 5-star category included the above-mentioned Kremer, Dirvanauskaite, Trifonov under “Preghiera” (too much wandering around and willfulness), Ashkenazy, Visontay, Lidstrom (poor tonal blend), Beaux Arts Trio (4-star), Golub, Kaplan, Carr Trio (4-star), Makhtin, Berezovsky, Knaziev Trio (too much distortion), Pizarro, Tetzlaff and Tetzlaff Trio (too intense), Rachmaninov Trio Moscow (too willful), Wiener Schubert Trio (too Viennese), Grohovski, Wulfson, Yablonsky (too willful), Trio Solisti (4-star).

title: Possibly the finest of all versions.

text: This has always been one of my favorite symphonies, ever since hearing Eugene Ormandy live in concert in Ann Arbor in 1963 perform this great work. When Previn came out in 1973 with the first recording of the longer version it was like a great gift of 15 extra minutes. Since them, I have always listened to new recordings of this work. Among my favorites are Litton, the new release by Pappano and the St. Cecilia Orch.,the live 1995 version by Svetlanov, the slightly edited version by Sanderling on DGG and Rozhdestvensky with the LSO. If I had to choose only one to save in a fire it would be this one by Rozhdestvensky. It is perfect. The long-breathed phrases are stunningly carried out without flaw, the long line is always there structurally, and the sense of melancholy and nostalgia are not overdone but lovingly conveyed. The highly rated Jansons recording is simply not in the same league. This has now been reissued on Regis and, although hard to find in the States, available very inexpensively at Presto Classical in the U.K. with very low shipping costs to the USA.


title: This CD set is great

text: The music is great , they make me think back to my childhood listening to them on the radio. It brings back some great memories.

title: Where sound enhances vision

text: You've got to be careful listening to this CD the first time, as the sound levels on the first track are not uniform and there is the possibility of some harm if the volume is too loud on your ear buds or speakers. The first 40 seconds of this CD feature the wind-up of the inertia starter of the Daimler-Benz 605 A engine, which slowly builds to a very loud start-up. This CD is mainly a series of recordings of the Daimler-Benz 605 A engine of a Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-2, captured in North Africa by Australians serving in the Desert Air Force of the RAF. As an added bonus, also included are recordings of other aircraft, notably the engines of Allied fighters such as the Curtiss P-40, the P-51 Mustang (flying past in the air), and the start-up of the radial engine of a P-47 Thunderbolt. This CD adds another layer of experience to understanding this iconic World War Two fighter plane. Of special interest is the whine of the supercharger when the Bf 109 revs up and begins its move to the runway, and the shrill whistling sound the supercharger makes on fly by and also in the in-cockpit recordings. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then sound surely is an equal partner in re-creating history.


title: FIRSTIES!!!

text: I love my MUSEikians. Everything they do is wonderful. If I did not already own everything that they have released in the United States then I would prob buy this album. Oh well.


title: Great buy

title: Awesome Tunes!

text: I bought this for my wife who likes 60's tunes.  What an excellent choice.  I guess you could get the whole set but for a fraction of the price you get quite a bit of very well known tunes on this double CD.  Excellent!


title: Great recording.

text: Records in perfect shape. A little wear on the cover, but otherwise a near perfect buy.

title: Buen sountrack, mal dvd

text:
Soy fan de floricienta, y como tal no podia dejar de ver lola, la version mexicana de floricienta. La serie como tal no me gusta tanto debido a que no esta tan bien actuada y algunos personajes sobreactuan demasiado, o sea no hay un buen balance en las actuaciones.

Sin embargo el soundtrack si merece la pena, Eiza tiene una gran voz, es super talentosa, la mayoria de las canciones contenidas en los 2 cds son pegajosas.

El dvd que incluye es un dvd con varias de las canciones en version karaoke pero no incluye karaokes de canciones como "Magico" o "Tu circo".Lo malo del dvd es que al parecer fue hecho de prisa ya que en todas las canciones usan el mismo fondo y las letras no estan a tiempo con las canciones, siempre estan muy retrasadas por lo que no se puede cantar siguiendo las letras en pantalla, una gran perdida, ahh y para colmo los 2 videos musicales que incluyen parecen ser ripeados del youtube, digo la calidad de los mismos es muy pobre para ser dvds. Por la mala calidad del dvd es que no le pongo calificacion de 5 estrellas.

Sin embargo a pesar del dvd recomiendo que compren este pack que de seguro no se arrepentiran y lo van a disfrutar tanto como yo.

title: The Best of MJ

text: This was one of the greatest Michael Jackson concerts from his HIStory Tour. He added some wonderful unique touches like sitting on his suitcase like Charlie Chaplin before beginning his Billie Jean performance. For anyone who wants to go back in time and watch Michael's magic at his best this is definitely a DVD to watch🎤❤

title: Luis' guitar is on a leash!

text: I had seen a Youtube of Luis Maldonado doing an equipment demo of a Rivera amp (Knucklehead Tre, I think) and a G&L S-500 (one of my favorite guitars), and there was serious smoke coming off of the fingerboard.  He is an incredible lead player.  So, imagine my dismay when I dug up this CD (used copy, out of print), and there is virtually no lead guitar at all on these well-crafted pop-rock tunes.  He is a fantastic singer, as well, but I was hoping for more guitar craziness.  This is worth a listen, just not at all what I expected / wanted.

You won't experience more awe and wonder in this life until you hear the next Infected Mushroom or Phutureprimitive album (true for a majority of psytrance fans). If you want their best album get Friends on Mushrooms Deluxe Version. 2nd place tie Vicious Delicious, Army of Mushrooms, 4th place: IM the Supervisor

text: Bought tons of things off Amazon and never left a review. It's 12:30am and I must be up to work in the morning by 8am. Can't stop listening to this. It's been a looong time since I purchased a cd collection with sooo much amazing music, granted I purchased the original album back in '83, this sounds better than my 30 year old cd. Enjoy having the different edits and b-sides along with vault tracks like possessed, purple music, rearrange, bold generation. I feel like a kid Christmas day listening to this. Been a long time since I felt this way. This was worth every penny. Hope they continue working through Princes music catalog remastering and releasing related unreleased vault tracks!!!

title: Very best of the Christian Blues

text:
Recorded live at the Cornerstone Christian music festival in July, 1992; It has all the energy of a live album. It has some of the best artist and coming together to play as friends. The 5-song tribuit to Mahalia Jackson.

The style varies a lot, from fast to slow, with a few driving rock blues (Guardian, Mark Farner), Delta Blues, Gospel Blues (Jessy Dixon), and a lot of Chicago Electric Blues (Glen Kaiser). Eddie Degarmo and Margaret Becker are not known for the Blues, but they sing the blues here. Glen Kaiser and Darrell Mansfiels with his harmonica are at their best.

I have about 40 CDs of Chistian Blues. This is best Christian Blues CD I have heard.

text: From Wet Dolphin: "Dues fly like an ostrich"


title: Manose Music

text: Manose music evokes deep listening - he seems to disappear and only the flute notes move like rolling waves in a vast sea of melodic change.<br />Bansuri is very sweet.  The muse comes out to play him when he is steeped in the mantras of Deva and Miten, as in Moola Mantra.


title: Great CD

text:
This CD comes with her Northern Mystries book (which I highly reccomend).
I agree with a previous reviewer that lacking the liner notes (when purchased with the book) is an unfortuneate oversight.  However, for those who are interested in hearing the vibration of Rune names, some recital of norse poetry (translated into english) and an invocation for ritual, this CD is a must have.
Her voice is incredible and, where appropriate, chilling.  Buy this CD!

title: Awesome collection of rare original recordings.

text: I really enjoyed listening to some songs I hadn't heard it over 45 years. Though many of these recordings got limited air play when they were out, they sure brough back memories for me. I would listen to the radio late at nite when the "big sellers" weren't played and these kind of records were. Here's the track list of this Teenage Dreams Volume 17:1-Pen pals-Willie Walker 2-Remember me to Julie-Otto Brandenburg 3-Say-Mel Tillis 4-Little girl-Joey Brooks 5-Why does my baby cry-Rick Sheldon 6-Without you-Bobby Coffman 7-Imitation heart-Johnny Sablan 8-A letter to my love-Alan Gari 9-Turn on the moonlight-Ray Smith 10-When my heart speaks-Jerry Dyke 11-Beach boy-Eddie Simon 12-Pitter,pitter, patter-Jimmy Charles 13-Man with a broken heart-Continentals 14-Love is the spin I'm in-Bobby Clark&Rhythm Knights 15-Phyllis-Larry Meadows 16-The torch is out-Bobby Paris 17-Little Tina-Paul Hondo 18-Do you love me anymore-Helge Nelson&Stringers 19-A pin to a piano-Bob Dante 20-Tongue-tied-Barry Russett 21-A fool and his love-Ronnie Mann 22-You mean the world to me-Dallas Harms 23-Beggar or king-Sammy Licano 24-Before a heart breaks-George Weston 25-Dearest little angel-Jane Bowman 26-We have it made-Pete Votrian 27-Tear a love-Spark Plugs 28-She's gone away-Gene&Echo Tones 29-So many sleepless nights-Sierra's 30-It's all over-Rodney Lay&Blazers 31-On our way from school-Doug Connell&Hot Rods.


title: Before they were Coasters they were Robins

text: This is an awesome collection of original recordings for the real fan of early rhythm and blues. The quality is excellent and the following 28 Robins songs are contained on this great package:1-A fool such as I 2-My heart's the biggest fool 3-I'll do it 4-All nite baby 5-Oh why? 6-Let's go to the dance 7-How would you know? 8-My baby done told me 9-Ten days in jail 10-Empty bottles 11-Don't stop now 12-Get it off your mind 13-Double crossin' baby 14-I made a vow 15-Key to my heart 16-All I do is rock 17-Riot in Cell Block#9 18-Wrap it up 19-Loop De Loop Mambo 20-Framed 21-If teardrops were kisses 22-Whataya want 23-I love Paris 24-One kiss 25-I must be dreaming 26-The hatchet man 27-Just like a fool 28-Smokey Joe's cafe. I have played this CD over and over and you will too!


title: Rare Clovers records finally on CD!

text: The Clovers, one of the early rhythm and blues vocal groups,continued recording into the 60's. They left Atlantic for other labels and many of their songs didn't exactly sell well or chart too high after the 50's. This package is the second of the Clovers Rarities series and contains many of these "odd ball" releases that are so hard to find on vinyl and now made available on this interesting package. Quality varies but generally the songs here are clean enough for me and certainly better than whatever of these songs I had on 45. Here's the tracks on this Volume 2:1-Please Mr.Sun/2-Gimme gimme gimme/3-Bossa Nova baby/4-The Bossa Nova(my heart said)/5-One more time/6-Stop pretending/7-It's all in the game/8-That's the way it will be/9-Love,love,love(Brunswick version)/10-The Kickapoo/11-Love potion #9(Grand Prix version)/12-Please don't mess with me/13-Out there/14-TV fanatic/15-Pen and tablet/16-Devil or angel(Lana version)/17-Poor boy/18-He sure could hypnotize/19-Too long without some loving/20-For days/21-Try my lovin' on you/22-Sweet side of a soulful woman/23-For sentimental reasons. Note almost all these songs are nowhere else to be found on CD. I'd grab this package while it's still available! I can see $100 plus on Amazon when it goes out of print.


title: Ric Tic Relics Volume 1 is terrific!

text: What a great collection from one of Detroit's lesser known labels! The quality on everything was fantastic and many of these songs do not appear anywhere else on CD. From the hits you probably remember like Hungry for Love and Agent 00 Soul to rarities like Holding hands by Rose Batiste or To win your heart by Laura Lee this is certainly a CD package that is well worth putting in your music library. When this goes out of print I can see $75 plus for used copies on Amazon.


title: Two hit 60s wonder finally available

text: Great collection from master tapes, most tracks new to CD including a killer extended version of Tar and Cement. This collection includes Verdelle's complete Capitol album "In My Room" plus single releases. Her voice,her style, makes me wonder why she never recorded more than this. Verdelle wherever you are we still love the music you left us!


title: aka Devil's masquerade

text:
This album was recorded in Australia in 1972, with lyrics in English.
The first track, called "Concerto For A Three-Stringed Violin And Five Mugs Of Beer"(2'38"), might be compared with Frank Zappa and early Soft Machine. Other tracks are: "Crooked Man"(6'55"), the bluesy "I've Been This Down Before" (4'27"), "Devil's Masquerade" (5'34"), "Psychomania" (5'44"), "Observations Of An Honest Man" (1'46") and the more psychedelic, predominantly instrumental "In The Bosom Of A Shout"(8'53"), which culminates in the declaration "music is the healing force of the universe".
The titles of tracks perhaps indicate the band's disassociated state of mind when confronted by a comparatively unhip audience and a degree of "ocker" Australian culture after their arrival. This pretty "way-out" Hungarian prog/jazz-fusion band would have been way out on a limb back then in Australia, although the prog scene was beginning to burgeon quite nicely.
Total time is only 35'57 but the music is, in the context of the times in Australia, quite oddball, offbeat and interesting. The style is driven by late 1960s' organ, acoustic piano, flute and a brass and vocal sound akin to Blood, Sweat and Tears. The drums and bass are very snappy and fill out the tunes with great colours and textures.
For my tastes, and compared with much progressive music of the period it's a little under-produced (no electric guitars, no synths, and seemingly little overdubbing). But Devil's Masquerade is a highly original and pioneering album of European prog/ jazz-fusion as well as an early cross-cultural hybrid that indicated the future of life in Australia, with its vast mix of peoples from all over the globe...


title: Uplifting

text: None of the other versions I tried come close to this perfection (if you have a better take at 1014, I'd love to listen to it). Authority and emotion seldom mix that well. disc 1 should be prescribed to all Bach lovers (breakfast, lunch, dinner).


title: A Magic Record!

text:
OK, the only reason I love it is because it was burned into my brain cells as a child. Each side of this "magic record" (a thin floppy square plastic rather than the hard vinyl of most records as I recall) had four different groves cut in it, one for each song, rather than a single grove with all four songs in series. Thus each time you put down the needle on the record, you did not know which song you would get (which is the "magic" part.)

We listened to it a lot.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent versions of these songs, plus some good extras
