title: Every False Giggle

I ordered the whole friggin set and it's fine, open and havin' fun!

Mailed quickly, great color artwork.

The sound quality blows the old "best of" CD away.

Here, of course, you get all the unedited undulations and monthly altercations. Let me inform you, Little Man, that the "best of" Peter and Ray is hardly on the compilation CD. It's in these 7+ hours of absurdity.
They just don't make people like Peter & Ray anymore.

I work long hours in an office, and man it's great to listen to these recordings on headphones. It's major comic relief.

Get it! [...]


title: Beautiful music

text: Plays great, first time I've ordered a cd and it arrived without scratches and cracks. Only losing stars because of price. I've ordered this cd before for a lot less. It's probably rare, so that could come into account.


title: Russian prog

text: Fans of Introitus and ELP should like this album.  Two female artists,with English vocals, front this band which at times sound like Keith Emerson with a middle eastern flair to the sound. There's lots of great keys/synth. pieces with good compositions. I liked it from start to finish on the first spin.


"Easy Listening" music has a bad reputation, perhaps not without justification. Much of it can be monotonous and uninspired (hence the term "elevator music"). Not so these arrangements of popular standards. The first time I heard it, I was awed by the intelligence and maturity of the orchestrations. Each one is so imaginative and different from the others. For years I wondered who the arranger was. This album simply says, "The Romantic Strings and Orchestra". Not a word about the conductor or the arranger. Recently I found out that the man responsible for both is the legendary Charles Gerhardt who did a large number of the Readers Digest recordings. I actually like to use this album as a karaoke accompaniment for some of the songs because it is so nice to sing along with. Anyway, if you can get past your ingrained aversion to this kind of pop music, perhaps you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was.


title: Worth listening to many times.

text: Jonathan gets really deep into metaphysics here. If you think there is more to religion than you are getting this is a listen for you. If you can, get Pathways to Mastership first.


title: Love this album

text: Includes wonderful duets.  Terrific album.


title: Five Stars

text: Wonderful and funny Aussie music that I remembered listening to on my last visit.


title: Finding Their Sound

text: Fast delivery and played absolutely perfectly. Does not come with the lyric sheet, but that's okay. I'm just happy to have completed my Skillet CD collection. They were just finding their sound in these ones and you finally hear what will be their sound in Collide. Excellent!


title: Always a pleasant surprise

text: This is an extraordinary recording. I’ve been following The Haunted Windchimes for a few years now, but each new release still manages to surprise me. They offer a reconsideration of American folk music, folding elements of blues and jazz into their songs, and are more than willing to experiment. Four band members compose, sometimes writing solo, but often working together in various configurations, and I think that contributes to the diversity of each album. I just wish “Rattle Your Bones” was longer. I particularly enjoy “Banjo and the Bottle” and “Traveling Lady.”

title: Packaged well, I arrived on time

text: Love the music


title: Worth having for avid Chase fans

text: While this album is definitely void of Bill Chase (as he died in 1974 and this was recorded in 1977), the high energy of the band is still evident.  His men loved him and they poured that into this "tribute" album.  While Walt Johnson lacks the sheer blistering power of Bill Chase, he plays some wonderful lead licks and great solos.  Again, if you are listening for Bill, you'll be disappointed, but if you want to hear some fine trumpet playing and solid arrangements, it's a good listen and a worthwile addition to your collection.  There are even a few gems on this CD, including "Celebrate" (which was a staple in the Chase book when Bill was alive) and "Watch Closely Now".  If you like disco, "Superman" and "Rocky" are also neat to listen to.  There's some incredible playing by all the band members on here.  In closing, this album is worth the money if you want more Chase music and are open-minded to it.

title: Great listening

title: This gift was perfect!

text: The person I got this gift for loved each one of the cd's. Awesome music!


title: Pat Benatar Greatest Hits

text: Great album. Delivered very quickly


title: Five Stars

text: Love the music!


title: Not soft rock.

text: The first CD might be considered soft rock, but CD 2 and CD 3 are definitely not. Artists include Kiss, Whitesnake, Rush, Scorpions, Pat Benatar, The Cars, Foreigner. Hardly what I would consider soft rock. I was expecting artists like James Taylor and Carol King. While I do like most of the songs, I bought this to play in the background while I worked, and I cannot use it for that purpose.


title: Wonderful choice of relaxing pieces performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.

text: Wonderful choice of relaxing pieces.  I like the full-bodied sound of a symphony orchestra rather than a chamber orchestra, so this was perfect for me. It is not digitally re-mastered, but the sound is still good quality. The Pachelbel has a little too much string for my taste - I've heard other arrangements that I like better, but is still quite nice. I love all the other pieces.  Sit back and enjoy the mood set by these pieces..


title: Five Stars

text: Very nice album. Strongly recommend.


title: Anointed!

text: As a former member of this dynamic choir, I understand the title of Angelic Voices.  I am so happy that this ministry put out this CD.  I am preparing to sing some of these very songs in my church now!  Love this!!!!


title: Great collection!

text: A fantastic collection.  Vocals are original and very clear.  Sometimes, the music is difficult to hear, but all in all a great collection.  Most of the music I was already familiar with is on disc one, some on disc two.  Disc three was mostly new to me.  Many great marching tunes and sing-a-longs.  It really captures the historical period well.


title: Amazing!

text: This might be one of my favorite albums yet!


title: Phenomenal!

text: Have been waiting for their comeback album forever!! It was everything I've come to expect from them. Phenomenal!

title: Great purchase

text: Great program


title: "Since I Fell For David"

text: This is not the young man from the Partridge Family nor even from the 80s. His voice is definitely smoother and a bit deeper, even a bit Sinatra like in some of the vocals. His covers of classics like Since I Fell For You, Blackbird by McCartney, Walk Away Renee, and Breaking Up is Hard to Do, are not carbon copies of the originals. He has his own smooth way of doing them. There is also a bonus CD with songs David is known for from previous albums. This is a nice change of pace. Album easy to listen to and he includes a nice song of his own,  New York City Life. You may find this one less expensive on Amazon UK, or on other sites.

title: Classic Irish Pub Music

text:
I had the pleasure of meeting Gerry Forde at a private party in Massachusetts. He performed for the guests and was absolutely flawless in his performance. He was kind enough to give me this CD and I enjoyed listening to it multiple times on a long 5 hour drive. If you are not smiling and taping your foot to these songs, you just don't appreciate great music!

I look forward to listening to Gerry's other CD's and highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys a traditional Irish Reel.

title: I think you probably had to see this show to appreciate it best.

text:
I love hearing alternate takes on this show besides John Cameron Mitchell's.  This show takes chances and makes changes, some good and some not so good, but I enjoyed it for the most part.

The Hedwig on this CD sounds like Steven Tyler from AEROSMITH, except that he is more often off pitch than on, and lets the actress singing Yitzhak handle all the hard stuff, which makes the CD hard to listen to and enjoy just for its musicality.  This is especially rough on the ear during songs like "Wicked Little Town".

I also think including the preshow banter at the start of the CD was a mistake - it takes a minute and a half for the music to start.  The audience participation section of "Wig in a Box" I found annoying as well.

title: Truly Unique

text:
This is a band that grew out of the Chicago scene a few years back, and has truly done their own thing.  Their music is not a 'copy' of anything you'll hear on the radio, and they've built a fan base through creating a niche that no other band can fill.  This is their first album, and it is amazing.  I did, I will add, see them in concert before getting the cd, and that always increases one's attraction to a band.  It may take a few listens before you get sucked in, but once you do, this is an incredible album, and an incredible band.

Because there is not a track list yet on amazon, I'm gonna put one up right here.

text: Great music


title: Get it for the F Minor Trio with all its Soul-Touching Poignancy

text:
Dvorak is famous for the cheerful Czech rhythms that abound so persuasively in his Slavonic Dances of the 1870s. Yet most of these trios temper that cheerful side with a dramatic eloquence that borders on the mournful. Dvorak wrote his G minor trio shortly after the death of his newborn daughter, Josefina, and you can almost feel as if the desperate and frenetic energy in the Scherzo is Dvorak's attempt to bury his grief in the healing salve of his music.

This is not to say that these recordings are outwardly depressing - simply more pensive and meditative than some of his other works. The Dumky is a perfect example. The term Dumky comes from a Czech word roughly translated as "to ponder or brood", and the Dumky ably embodies that mood. The cello often leads with somber rumination before the other instruments join in.

The trio in F minor, however is easily the supernova among all these wonderful trio stars. Now there are many people who praise the Dumky with great gusto without saying a peep about the other trios. Sometimes I want to smack these people, and if you listen to the trio in F minor you'll know what I mean. If you listen you'll notice that the F minor trio is melodically much stronger than the Dumky and much more poignant. Of all the trios, this is the one that embeds itself in the psyche and won't let go.

All in all the primary reason to own this recording is for the lushly expressive F minor work. Additionally, those with a special fondness for the cello will find satisfaction here. Dvorak wrote what is arguably the best cello concerto of all time; but here in these trios, he engages the cello's strengths just as skillfully.


title: Screaming Whispers

text:
It's too bad this disc is out of print.  "Screaming Whispers" and
"Morphing M.O.R.E." are superb.  I'd like to hear more of this artist's
work.


title: It's mostly about the DVD

text: There's only a couple of songs on the CD. The bulk of this item is the DVD. Which has a couple of the music vids but also has a live show recording with several of their songs. Downside no English translation. It would have been nice if the booklet had translations of the songs. The pictures are nice and the videos and music were enjoyable.

a album u can headbang your head off too.
very fast pace good old school 80s heavy metal
and a good listen while drinking beer.


title: Test 1 rocks...

text: Not since Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks" have I been so moved by a compilation of songs. This record is impossible to categorize.There are no labels that can corral the sheer beauty of this album. It will live in infamy, ladies and gentlemen. You heard it here first. Put your Prozac away. A time-tested cynic, I found myself able to pick flowers and help old ladies with their groceries after listening to this CD... It has changed my life immeasurably. If you only buy one CD for the REST OF YOUR Godforsaken life, BUY THIS ONE!


title: love it.

text: Keep listening to it over and over, love it.


title: Worth buying on cassette!

text: Besides being one of the band's best albums, there is an extra track on the tape, Bill, not included on the album.  It may  have been included on subsequent compilation albums but you'll be getting it on its original release here.


Some of the songs were "alternate takes" versions of the songs, but it is a good cd to have of a "British invasion" era group


title: Five Stars

text: I love the older music, is great


title: A quality band from the British lnvasion

text: This is one of the few CD's available of The Nashville Teens, today maybe best known for superbly backing Carl Perkins on his excellent London recording session in 1964. They had five UK hits, two of which also made the US Hot 100, and two that made the US "Bubbling Under" charts (lower than #100). They were a quality band, their elusive songs providing great listening enjoyment. During this period, Great Britain had on average, arguably, better music than the United States, British rock'n'roll records being generally vastly more rockin' than the drivel that was prevalent in the US at the time! This CD excludes two singles for which the label was unsuccessful in acquiring the rights; but all their five hits are here. The album includes liner notes, and years of release are given; but unsurprisingly, session details, catalogue numbers (UK or US) and chart positions (UK or US) are not given. By the way, the group was neither from Nashville, nor consisted of teens; but the name "Nashville" proves something often overlooked today because it is "politically incorrect": the importance and influence of Country & Western music for the development of rock'n'roll - "politically incorrect" because musicians and aficionados of the genre were and are, largely, politically conservative white people (this, of course, in no way diminishes the role of Rhythm & Blues on the same).


title: Awesome Gospel LP!!

text: I've always loved the ministry of Squire Parsons; I especially loved him when he was a member of The Kingsmen Quartet. Squire Parsons was and still is one of my all-time favorite southern gospel artists.


title: bad recording

text:
Terrible recordings. The first 2 cds are really bad. The 3rd cd in Boston is slightly better. I was at this show. It starts off ok but about halfway through the sound starts to deteriorate. It's too bad because I don't know that there are a lot of recordings with Gary Moore in the band. Save your money, buy any of the other live recordings of the band.

title: Indeed No Compromise.

text: I enjoy Adrian & Paul Gurvitz work. It is a shame it is so hard to come by. This is a fine album as good as any he has done and well worth searching out.


title: Double Diggin' the Q

text: I just so enjoy this band. Having seen them live and owning all original recordings and a few live ones too, this CD is great. As per the original LP plus a nice set of bonus tracks in the same ilk.


title: Very pleased.

text: Perfect quality, a very special song, and  fast shipping!


title: CERQUETTI REALLY SINGS AUDIENCE TURBULENT

text: If a patron wishes to hear Cerquetti sing O Patria Mia, then it is worthwhile. Aside from this, it is a poor recording.  Was it pirated from a live performance on 1 side of the stage? There is a disturbance that occurred during the performance during the Amonasro/Aida scene, Impossible to distinguish what is taking place since there is a great deal of hooting and carrying on by the audience. It is rather muddled otherwise.


title: Cats

text: For cat lovers.  All that needs to be said.


title: Duh - It's By Enya!

text: What would be not to like?  Every Enya album is a home run, hole in one, goal, the finest sound one's ears can behold since the last Enya album.  Really - I do not believe that there is anyone on the entire E-arth qualified to rate an album by Enya; Songstress to the gods.  Enya fans will buy it - those not Enya fans OUGHT to buy it and become Enya fans.  So - order it NOW!  And have a nice day.

text: After receiving Enya - Greatest Hits in the mail from half way around the globe,St. Petersburg Russia, I listened to all 44 tracks and it was like having her here for my own private concert.

Thanks!

title: For completists

text:
Casual fans: before you pay an arm and a leg for this out-of-print disc, a warning. Six of the tracks on this CD are recycled from the Everlys' 1983 REUNION CONCERT at the Royal Albert Hall. The other tracks run the gamut from inspired to rote, and really present nothing that isn't available elsewhere in similar versions.

Unless you NEED TO OWN EVERYTHING THE EVERLY BROTHERS EVER RECORDED, I'd skip this one, especially if you have to pay close to a hundred bucks for it.

text: This is for everyman (and woman). Jackson Browne is in great voice and humor throughout. Fans who own Browne's two acoustic solo albums know how loose and spontaneous he can be in concert. But string-master David Lindley has always brought the best out in Browne. And that's saying something. This three-CD set is an absolute delight.

title: Roots Rock/Country Sound with Cilette's AMAZING vocals/lyrics and Roman's masterful guitar/mastering

text: LOVE these two! Just saw them live in Prescott, AZ for a holiday show and they were INCREDIBLE. Cilette has a voice like Celine Dion's and writes beautiful, thoughtful lyrics and sings SO incredibly. She can sing 3-4 octaves! Roman is great on the guitar and writes the music and produces most of it himself from what I've gathered! They have been making music for years so it is hard to pick a favorite album, but I just bought 3 copies of "True" as gifts for family (on the musicians' personal website) to get them inspired. Cilette and Roman are genuine true musicians who make authentic music from the heart and if you get a chance to see them live--DO IT. They have incredible presence and are down-to-earth people who are happy to meet and speak with fans. Do yourself a favor and buy an album :)

text:
Beware of buying this album from unknown sources... This is probably the most copied (BOOTLEGGED) album of all time. If you are paying less than 500 dollars for it then it is most likely a fake. This album in ORIGINAL MINT CONDITION sells for as much as 1200 dollars. There is a reissue of this album released by WORLD IN SOUND that is a legitimate legal copy of the original that sells for 50 to 75 dollars. It is a good repress but NOT the Original. There are so many Bootleggers out there now that have copied this album that it is hard to know if you are getting a original Marcus LP or a forgery but the true collectors know the difference and have kept the price of this album to a highly valued price. To all those die hard collectors I give you my utmost appreciation and gratitude because you guys are the ones who make collecting albums respectable and legitimate.

Thanks,
Marcus


title: You Can't Be Disappointed

text: If you bought this you should not be disappointed. It's a standard notation/tabulator book of Metallica's Black Album for guitar. Rhythm and Lead parts of every song are included in the book. Definitely a must for someone that is trying to learn the album on guitar, or are just interested in collecting the sheet music for Metallica's albums. Great buy and I thoroughly recommend this for a fan looking to play some of their music.

title: Cracked plastic case cover.

text: CD itself is fine, sounds good, arrived expeditiously as usual from Amazon Prime. However, while the CD came shrink wrapped , it had a cracked plastic cover, probably because it was just shipped in a padded mailer. Not a big thing, but I'm knocking off a star because of its condition.


title: Heaven-Sent from Cologne

text: Good quality bootleg of Jimi in good form despite rowdy audience. If you grew up listening to 70s and 80s vinyl and tape bootlegs, you'll be pleased by the sound quality. Concert features a rare performance of "Come on" from Electric Ladyland. What can I say, there are some guitarists you can never get enough of.


title: Very nice album!

text:
It did arrive much earlier than expected so I was pretty pumped! It was in great condition, no dents or creases (it was wrapped in bubble wrap thank goodness)!! The photobook was so pleasing to look at and the photocards were very nice!! I'm sad that Lay isn't in the photobook and about the lack of lines he gets in the Chinese version of Tempo T_T

title: Breakthrough

text:
If Undercover's previous album, Branded, was where the band found its stride, Balance of Power is where they perfected it.  Dark, heavy, brooding, this album sheds the bouncy keyboards that were still present even on Branded and goes with mostly guitar.  Keyboards are still present, but now offering textures instead of providing the ubiquitous rhythms which characterized the band's earlier work.  Vocalist Sim Wilson may have one of the most powerful voices in rock and roll, Christian or otherwise.  Wilson left Undercover to move to Florida after the band's next release, Devotion, and the first album recorded without him -- 1994's Forum -- suffered for it.  Rob Gallas did a worthy job, but couldn't match the power and depth in Wilson's vocals.

Undercover has never been a band of top-shelf players.  They are not bad players, and hold their own, but this is music you listen to for power and emotion.  If you like to feel something in your music, Balance of Power is a must-have.  Recorded shortly after the death of guitarist Gym Nicholson's wife, this is a dark album that does not offer simple solutions to the problems it confronts.  The opening track is titled World Come Crashing Down and it seethes with pain and anger and intensity, setting the tone for the rest of what is to come.  In sharp contrast to the band's earlier bouncy and lyrically naive pop-punk, this record offers questions but few answers.

Perhaps the album will speak with special power to those who have lost someone they loved.  It beautifully sets to music the pain, the anger, the questioning, the restlessness, and the fear one experiences in those times, but does not do this with melancholy music.  This album wails and rages and demands to be heard.  If you choose to hear it, you will not be sorry you did.

title: This is not Arrau, this is Beethoven himself

text:
First of all I would like to say, I have to disagree with a reviewer that says Arrau plays "too slow" this I can handle although I consider his speed is fine... but mostly when he says something like "he gives a romantic touch to these sonatas that were dedicated to men".

That is a huge blasphemy and here's why: Beethoven was a passionate man, I guess every Beethoven fan and student knows that, and if you still don't believe it just listen to his piano, violin and cello trios to see how much passion and romance there is involved. So it doesn't matter if he dedicated these sonatar (or any of his works) to a woman, a man or an alien, it is quite clear that whoever it was intended to, Beethoven would have probably execute it with passion and romance.

The execution of the Appassionata sonata is the ultimate execution. I need more words from other universe to describe how you can easly breeze into the composer's mind and actually feel what he felt and thought when he composed this piece. The 3rd movement is to me the best around and the best I've heard (from dozens of dozens), especially the last two minutes when it's clear the composer went drive mad. With other performers you will see that in these two minutes (when the piece reachis its climax) they will normally slow down which obviously a clear mistake and not what Beethoven intended). The last two minutes are to be played with madness, more madness, anger, more anger and all the passion you can put into those 88 keys. You can't slow down the climax of the piece ! That's why it is called Appassionata ! Such a beautiful piece.

The moonlight execution is the best I've heard too (with the exception of the 1st movement). Each one of the three movements take you to a mind state where you can feel how and what Beethoven felt about countess Giuletta Giucardi: love, joy and then hate, respectively. Just like the appasionata, the 3rd movement's performance is stunning. By the time you reach half of it, your mind will think you're listening to Beethoven.

Patetique is a good execution. I haven't really heard a notable performance, probably due to the fact of being one of Beethoven's earlier -more Mozartian/classisist- works. Still it is very good, and the movement that impresses me the most is the second.

Do your self a favor and get this CD. You will trash any other Beethoven Piano sonatas CD, and you will eventually look forward to buy the 32 piano sonata box set by Claudio Arrau -to listen to the man himself playing all his works-, which I proudly own and just like this disc, it is worth every single penny.

text: I bought this for my kids as they are now getting into classic rock.  They have an affinity for Queen, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.  While I already have this CD, I was looking for a Vinyl version (they got a record player for christmas and they dig it) and this SACD came up.  I did find a, supposedly unopened, vinyl for $1,000 so that was not an option!<br /> Well...I put it in with headphones on and I got lost.  The sound was amazingly clear, the depth was amazing and now I don't want to give it to them!  Excellent album, excellent sound, excellent, just excellent.

His work will live on for an eternity because he was such a great orator, influence, and great man.

title: AWFUL SOUND !!!

text: I thought I was buying an original CD. Awful sound! Seems like the company who released this "original " cd used poor audio quality. It sounds like it was downloaded from YouTube with the poorest sound quality possible. I don't blame the seller. Obviously the company who released this CD is to blame.  A total rip off with this crappy copy. Very disappointed. sold as an original, which is not near the quality of an original. The company who released this cd is called  "DISCOS MOZART" its obviously a pirate company. I wish I had researched it before buying it, Oh well... Hope people find this information helpful and think before buying this cd or the vol 2 of this same singer from this company, which also has the same problem with the crappy audio.

title: Immersive experience?

text: The music is good - classical music interwoven with nature sounds, and the Atmos effect was decent, though could be better.  I think calling this an immersive experience is a bit of a misnomer.  There are multiple "chapters," each with it's own theme and the music is intended to transport you to a similar scene in nature.  But there is no video, just a still image which changes with each scene.  I was expecting/hoping for video clips along with the music to add a visual element to the experience.  The sound alone, while pleasant, isn't enough to qualify as immersive, in my humble opinion.

title: A Lot To Love And Absolutely Perfect!

text: I have A LOT of GD and The Jerry Garcia Band.  This is right there at the top with the best of both incarnations of Jerry and his music.  Considering it's from '72 and an FM Broadcast I am blown away with the remastering of it.  To make it as good as it can be I have great headphones and an amazing equalizer on my phone.  With a little tweaking of the sound nobody can complain when you realize this is Jerry from another dimension in his playing.  His guitar work is stellar.  I think a really important aspect to this is Kahn's fantastic bass delivery and Bill's drumming which keeps pushing the tempo.  Then add the amazing organ ... WOW. I am on my 6th straight time listening to this.  No telling when I'll stop.  This is coming with me to my desert island.  Get it.  If you don't like it ... there's no hope for you :-)


title: Every step Kurt is taking leads him in only one ...

text: Every step Kurt is taking leads him in only one direction which is the TOP. Kurt Rosenwinkel, Aaron Parks: piano keys Eric Revis bass; Justin Faulkner drums deliver a powerful skilled two disc set that leaves you with just one wish: please continue... This is a must have


title: Great early (1971-75) compilation.

text: My favorite of all the Leo Kottke compilations - excellent.  Mostly instrumentals, and of the highest caliber.


title: Excellent for the serious fan

text: The sound quality is a bit dodgy at times, but overall this set is very listenable and contains numerous jaw-dropping solos by FZ.


title: ridiculous dreck

text: This dreck was what was playing when I was in the womb. Ghost Rider In the Sky was number one when I emerged, I think. An auspicious beginning, but I think the "race" records chart would make a hella lot better collection. This is the unbearable crud that made the incipient rock & roll so welcome. Still, this ridiculous music has its charms. Not all at once, though.


title: It is available now

text: It IS now available on Amazon digital music, thankfully!  I agree with previous reviewer, don’t have much to add.


title: joy

text: The best music to keep me focused on joy of life!  Life is beautiful and I am so appreciative of beauty around me.

text: WHAT A GIFT THIS WOMAN HAS. HER AND DIANA KRALL COULD BE TWINS IN THEIR EXQUISITE PLAYING!!! I FIRST HEARD SOME OF HER SONGS ON EASY LISTENING AND WAS SO HAPPY TO FIND THE ALBUM AT AMAZON. A BIT EXPENSIVE BUT I WILL MAKE GOOD USE OF THE CD AT HOME AND IN THE CAR.


title: Warm and sensitive playing

text: I have this CD and also recently had the opportunity to hear Gayle Martin Henry play a live concert that also included Pictures at an Exhibition.  I know this piece well since I have played it as a violinist in an orchestra multiple times. I am also a pianist and this is by far the most beautiful piano rendition I have ever heard - with gorgeous, rich (but not banging!) tone colors that are as close to an orchestral sound as you'll find.  Her Beethoven, Debussy and Chopin are absolutely wonderful.  A versatile artist whose playing is totally captivating!


title: The ce box was broken

text: I like the cd but the box arrived broken.


title: A go-to selection in my piano collection that delivers every time

text: This is an excellent arrangement and very fun to play. It is easy, but not too easy. Has just the right amount of notes for a satisfying beginning and end. One issue I had was the crescendo is divided onto one page, front and back, which I fixed by making a copy of the page to place beside the previous page for continuous play at the best part of the song. Very happy with this one.


title: stylish songs for unforgettable gals

text: Great, I love it!!!!!!!!!!! Great singing with the orginal artist from the swing era and others nice for a long ride or working about the h ouse.


title: Four Stars

text: Not Tokyo Tapes but an excellent snapshot of the hardest rocking scorpians


title: Buyer Beware!

text: Be careful when ordering these DVDs we couldn't play them on our DVD player because regional code does not match.


title: My favorite CD!

text: This album has so much energy and the music I so enjoy.  I put it on whenever I am in a really good mood.  It has enduring value.  I keep giving to others and having to order more for myself.


title: Gravitation

text: YAY!!!! I had been looking for this CD for FOREVER. If you love the TV series you HAVE to get this CD! Also contains Music from the OVA series!


title: and it’s great to finally have it on CD

text: Well, it’s about time this soundtrack was produced on CD. Still have the LP, and it’s great to finally have it on CD. One of the great ‘easy listening’ music scores. Hauntingly melodic. It’s criminal that so many forgettable LPs made there way to CD so quickly and we’ve had to wait quarter of a century for ‘The Other Side of Midnight’ - even at double / triple the price of what most CDs cost. Well worth the money just to own it. Yes, I could have converted the LP to mp3, but I much prefer the original. Thank you for this long overdue gem, Intrada.

title: The Greatest 10th Ever? Plus Two Other Fine Historic Recordings

text:
I nominate this 1954 performance of the 10th Symphony by Dimitri Mitropoulos & the New York Philharmonic as the greatest Shostakovich recording ever. At the very least, it belongs in that conversation, and it's a shame that it had remained O.O.P. for so long. It's great to have it back in the catalogue--even if it's the Japanese catalogue! Some U.S. distributors are now carrying it, however, so perhaps it has finally been released domestically here in the U.S. At any rate, the total price for the 2-CD set this performance is now a part of is relatively reasonable at the moment, hovering at just over $20 + shipping.

Mravinsky had premiered the 10th Symphony a year earlier, in Leningrad in 1953. His much later recordings of it are amazing and authoritative. I've heard two, one put out by Erato, the other put out by Melodiya, both from March, 1976, if the recording dates are to be believed. In the 10th I also love Neeme Jarvi, both Karajans and Frank Shipway, as well as (per usual) Rozhdestvensky and Kondrashin.

But this premier recording by Mitropoulos has "a real sense of discovery." I put that in quotation marks because the phrase has become such a staple of classical music reviews, but for the moment I can't come up with a better way of stating the obvious. I don't know if Mitropoulos typically rehearsed more or less than your average conductor, but his performances tend to feel much more spontaneous than most. No matter how many times I've heard this recording, the percussion section's entries and accents often catch me off-guard, especially in the climaxes - just a bit ahead or behind the rest of the orchestra, but the effect is electrifying, better than perfect in a way.

Like Mahler, Shostakovich had a great gift for turning a simple haunting melody into something grotesque, an elegant dance rhythm into an awkward stomp. This performance of the 10th has a closer relationship to dance than any I'm familiar with. I think this is because Mitropoulos fully commits his orchestra to every subtle shift in tone. He finds brisk expressive tempos that sweep things along and we have to scamper to keep up. It reminds me of the way people can get swept up by the tragic events of history - history as an unnatural force of nature, if that makes any sense. History as a dance band. . . .

Some readers here might find a comment made by Marc Vignal in the original Australian liner notes archly provocative, surprisingly illuminating or just plain crazy. I'll quote it here without comment: "The Tenth was Shostakovich's first pessimistic symphony...."
_____

NOTE: From what I understand this 2-CD set (which includes Mitropoulos's 5th and Efrem Kurz's 9th) has been newly remastered by Sony Japan. My comments below relate to the sound quality of the O.O.P. Australian release. [[ASIN:B00133ZK2G Shostakovich: Symphonies Nos. 10 & 9]] I will update my comments about the new remastering once I have a chance to compare it with the old. . . . Sony's digital remastering for the old Australian release was clear and good enough to surprise people about the mid-50s recording date, but be aware going in that you won't hear the kind of instrumental detail or get the kind of dynamic range that the other recordings I mention have. The only movement where I'm at all conscious of the sound being less than immediate is the Allegro - the "portrait of Stalin." When I want to listen to just this short bit, I usually crank the Jarvi.
_____

Mitropoulos's 5th is also available in a very cheap Membran box. That 5th is a wholly riveting experience. However, I expect the sound on the new Japan set will be superior. I will report back on that soon. [[ASIN:B003BF8V3E Dmitry Shostakovich: Symphonies, Concertos, Piano Works, Chamber Music]]

It's praise enough to say that Kurz's 9th doesn't feel out of place in the company of these amazing historic Mitropoulos recordings.

What follows is not a proper review but simply a listing of the contents, which I hope prospective buyers will find helpful. Like the only other "reviewer" of this set, I haven't heard it, at least the whole box, so please take my 5 star rating with a grain of salt. I offer it in part as a corrective to the 1 star rating.

I do have, however - and have repeatedly listened to - a tantalizing single disc of excerpts, 73:10 worth, which includes movements from the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th and 7th Symphonies, as well as "Die zwei blausen Augen" from Songs of a Wayfarer and a brief sample of William Malloch's "I Remember Mahler," an audio documentary made for radio broadcast. These excerpts suggest that this box is chockfull of truly amazing performances, and the numerous reviews I've read say as much.

title: Excellent East German Rock

text:
I came to Puhdys as a Rammstein fan via the single they collaborated on (Wut Will Nicht Sterben).  I was introduced to a pretty incredible rock band (from East Germany, no less) that wasn't afraid to move with the times, moving from a pretty standard 70s hard rock band into incorporating synth pop and even industrial textures on their later music.

Now, finding English language information on this band was easier said than done.  The internet made it infinitely easier to find the albums, but there was no quick way to pick up a load of their albums in one go, save for a German Original Album classics including their first three albums and two catalog stragglers from the early 80s.

Fortunately, this set addresses that, including all (to my knowledge) of their studio albums save for their most recent along with live albums and compilations.  There is a LOT of music to go through here and most of it is incredible.  Amazing to think that, in the US, we were basically led to believe that there was nothing of cultural interest happening on that side of the iron curtain.

Before I continue gushing, what you are getting here is a solid box inside of a glossy sleeve with a lift-off lid.  There is a perfect-bound booklet (in German only, unfortunately - time to get Rosetta Stone, I guess) which has an essay, album information and track listings.  The albums themselves are in cardboard sleeves, some of which have rather low res prints of the album artwork.  However, given the relatively budget pricing for this much music via Amazon sellers at present, I'm more than willing to overlook "Oh, the album sleeves didn't look as good as they could have."  The cardboard used is of a softer variety, so I'm less concerned that the discs will end up looking like they were mauled given repeated playback, but some may want to invest in japanese rice paper sleeves (or slimline jewel cases) to protect the discs.

I previously had the Original Album Classics set for Puhdys and the sound for the albums contained in that set are here much improved to my ears, so I can only assume they did go back and remaster these albums specifically for this set.  Those with a better grasp of German who want to do some web research for the specifics can either confirm or pop this theory.

For those interested in German rock and music in general, but not sure they want to take the plunge into a full catalog box set, I recommend you check out their third album, Sturmvogel, from 1976 (do ignore the AWFUL album cover - it doesn't do justice to the music inside) and then jump forward to 1999's Wilder Frieden.  Both are incredible albums and show how open the band are to incorporating new sounds and influences in their music.

I've barely scratched the surface in this box and it'll take me a while to properly take it all in, but everything I've heard so far has held up to my initial impression of this band as well worth following.

title: Gave up on this band and boy was I wrong!

text:
So I was a HUGE Zebrahead fan back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Right up until Justin left, and I gave this album one cursory listen, then gave up on them thinking Justin was the glue. Boy, was I wrong. I stumbled across their latest album a couple of weeks back, Brain Invaders, heard the first song and was stunned at how good it was. It made me go back and revisit their stuff that I missed.

Not listening to this album was a curse and a blessing - a curse because i missed 14 years of their music, but a blessing in that I get to catch up on it now as if it's new. What a GREAT album. It's almost like they took MFZB (in retrospect my favorite of the earlier albums, though back then I would have said Waste of Mind) and mixed in some of the guitar work from Playmate of the Year. Even better from my persepctive, they added in some of those Offspring/Rise Against high-pitched background vocals. You almost can't go wrong with those in my opinion - love them.

While I don't think they'll ever be as diverse as they were on Waste of Mind, but they don't have to be. The poppy punk, harder-edged stuff from MFZB is what has stood the test of time for me - and this album is a continuation. It sounds like they did a sequel to MFZB, and that is a huge compliment. Matty's vocals are not as good as Justin's in my opinon - his standard register is a little too typical and sounds like it could fit right in on some of the truly poppy punk bands like Simple Plan (the one that I hear the most), but thankfully he's in a bit of a higher register most of the time. Justin's lower singing was much more unique, but that's forgiveable. The songs are always what has stood out with Zebrahead. And the songs on this album are top notch. The "lower end" songs are great as well, there's no true filler songs. There's a couple that are definitely lower in quality (in my opinion. Here's To You is standard catchy pop junk, and the unbelievably popular Anthem to me is actually a weaker one as well) but none are bad.

Now the highlights - the title track is fantastic. After a few listens, it strikes one that it's hugely powerful and catchy at the same time. If you're looking for songs that sound exactly like their older stuff, try Postcards From Hell and Lobotomy For Dummies - both sound almost exactly like the MFZB stuff.  Wake Me Up and Back to Normal both come close as well.

The "power ballad" that to me harkens back to "Expectations" (a killer and totally underrated tune) is Your New Boyfriend Wears Girl Pants.  A moronic title for sure, like they wanted to be Fallout Boy, but if you can get past the stupid name, it's actually a very good song.

If there are others out there like me who thought they stopped producing good music when Justin left, hopefully you'll be open-minded enough to trust me - you'll love this album if you loved MFZB and are a Zebrahead fan in general. They are an acquired taste, but if you love them, you love them.  And I love them.

5/5

title: The classic LA Rock/Pop Album goes to 11

text:
The Anthem Records Collector's Edition digitally remastered Buckingham Nicks CD [Anthem 5058) is an Australian import that provides a clean digital sound and a comfortable, 39 minute trip back to the '70s.  A mainstay soundtrack for numerous mid-70s college parties, its lack of an official CD release has been quite puzzling (lawyers, probably).  Not surprisingly, the songs have held up quite well and retain their flow.  Fundamentally, the solid musicianship has allowed this work to stand the test of time.  A great addition to any Fleetwood Mac fan's collection.

The real treat of this release, however, is the almost obligatory CD bonus track of an alternate mix.  While the original LP had 10 tracks, this release goes to 11.  The "45 version" of Crying in the Night is a rather raw little ditty with lots of electric guitar power chords, slides, and riffs...a wonderfully unpolished gem of a familiar song with unexpected flashes and sparkles of sonic delight.  Overall, tickety-boo, mate.  Tickety-boo.


title: Details for serious Beatles fans

text: The songs credited to Hamburg June 26, 1966 are really from the film made of the Munich June 24, 1966 second show.  Both Paris and Houston are the second shows on the respective days for those interested in details.  The Houston show is missing the opening song Twist and Shout.  Both Paris shows and both Houston shows are available in complete form.  Both Houston shows are available in equal quality to this disc.


title: Archive Surprise

text: Second acts exist. After a 26-year absence from the Jazz scene, the emergence of Bob Szajner on these sessions is an indication second acts can happen. This look back at that period now becomes part of his second act. Compare Bob's work in the 21st century to this 1978 work and you will see the roots were planted firmly decades earlier.<br />-Bob Rusch


title: Showcase Szajner TRIAD II

text:
The liner notes indicate that Bob Szajner has become nothing more than than a footnote to
Detroit's thriving jazz scene, but this CD is part of a movement to show how much of an impact
he could have made had circumstances not turned him the other way.
When Szajner performed at the Detroit Montreux Jazz Festival in 1981, most had not heard of him
even though he had been playing for a number of years. When he moved away from his piano bench, he along with bassist Ed Pickens and drummer Frank Isola had the crowd crying for more.
This CD released by Cadence Jazz Records is an archive of that live performance, and don't let the humble cover photo fool you. it looks like a simple live performance done in a small outside venue, but as the music goes on, they show an incredible knack on how to move the crowd and eachother, each of them driving the momentum to the point of no return, all without playing into a frenzy.
The anticipation in the music is similar to those live albums Dave Brubeck would record at colleges, many of which were recorded for release. In songs like "Three Four Montreux", "Travesty", "Isolation", and "Class Conscious", it's almost as if they feel this is a make or break performance. They start out getting golf claps, but by the end you have people demanding encores.
The liner notes indicate that Bob Szajner would eventually leave the world of music altogether, but returned briefly a few years ago. Those who were at this 1981 show still remember it fondly, and now jazz fans will get a chance to hear someone who was on the... I was going to say "on the verge of making an impact" but he definitely made an impact on his music scene, as everyone had to know who this hot piano player was. But he didn't take the aggressive road and some have argued his disappearance from the Detroit jazz scene also made an impact.
Perhaps if younger musicians hear this and pay attention to what he, Pickens, and Isola did that afternoon, it will encourage them to stick it out for the love of musical communication.

title: Showcase Szajner TRIAD Iv

text:
On The Bench In The Zone is a Bob Szajner album originally released in 2008, but was recently reissued by Quixotic Records. It received a good amount of reviews back then, and now it's being pushed to a new audience who, like myself, missed it the first time.
What appealed to me about this album upon first listen, right off the top, was Szajner's piano playing and sound. It reminds of the old juke joint style of playing, I hate to say "jingle jangle" but the sound that comes from a stand-up piano where the sound is open and in the air? I love that sound, and while the piano is pushed a little forward in the mix (Szajner is credited as the producer with Colin Zyskowski as engineer), it fits perfectly since he is and becomes the focus, but without dampening the contributions of drummer Allan Colding and bassist Ed Pickens (who along with Szajner are credited as being apart of Triad IV, or the fourth variation of trios Szajner has had over the years.)
The title of the album is telling, as immediately you put yourself in the position they want you to be, in that comfort zone to simply listen and allow yourself to become a part of that music.
"Seems Like Spring", "Nichols For Your Thoughts", and "Delicate Balance" are just intense, even at its most delicate moments, and it makes me wish I was able to witness this album being recorded.
Highly recommended.

title: Sviridov at his best, in its best performance

text:
Of all the Sviridov recordings I have heard over the last twenty years, this is my favourite, both for the quality of the music and the power of the performances. Among the chief items on this CD are seven settings of the great symbolist poet Aleksandr Blok for choir, largely unaccompanied. Written around 1980, these short works show Sviridov at his most resourceful in writing for choir (with highly effective use of half-choirs and soloists, contrasting with the full choral sound) and at his warmest in the harmonic language employed. The other main work on this CD is the 'Kursk Songs' of 1964 -- which takes simple peasant chants and enriches them with choral harmony and percussion (tuned and untuned). The result is utterly exhilarating, making this (in my opinion) the most unqualified triumph among all the works by this composer. Minin and his choir have been performing these works for decades (originally under the composer's direction). The result could not, however, be further from routine: the intensity and freshness of attack in these performances are utterly riveting and put all other recordings in the shade.

The cover of the brochure shown above is different from the original one (of 2000), which I have, and which is totally blank inside. It is possible, therefore, that some information has now been added. I doubt, however, that the words are provided. But with music as resourceful as this, and as immediate in its impact, one doesn't actually need them, and their absence should not deter anyone from buying the disc.


title: Musical modernism at its most communicative

text: This is my favourite Denisov CD. Snap it up before it becomes unavailable! The Cello Concerto is one of my favourite of his instrumental works -- with its interweaving lines of chromatic melismata, which combine the complexity of musical modernism with a plangent expression that takes one back to centuries-old Russian dirges. Meanwhile, the extracts from Denisov's opera based on Boris Vian's fantastic yet tear-jerking L'Ecume des Jours (here sung in Russian) show an exhilarating range of styles, from dissonant modernism, through jazz, to Russian dirges again. This is eclecticism at its most spontaneous and communicative. Among the high points are an exultant wedding march, hovering between solemnity and riotousness, and the two lovers improvising a love duet over a piece of Duke Ellington. No words are provided in this issue. I got hold of the score and typed out (in French) all the words that are sung in this suite. If you'd like a copy, send me an e-mail (you'll find my contact details on the Heythrop College website, under Academic Departments, Theology Staff).


title: Music was just horrible recordingsneeded a lot of work

text: Just awful sound and editing to what could have been great music


title: A Musical Adventure!

text: All songs are top production and classic. Not one sour note. I play this cd all the time and it never gets tiring. The singing is superb as is the musicianship. It is as near perfect as you will find a recording. People always ask why I listen to this(I am African American)music. Because I love it! If the music pleases your ear it doesn't matter where it is from. The joy of the music comes through and goes straight to your heart.


title: What a great double cd of Johnny Rivers!!

text:
Love all songs on the 60's folk and the rock
Songs of the mid 60's are totally great. I
Listen all the time!! Thanks John 😊.


title: Would of been good !

text: So disappointing that the CD skips.


title: Still Exo's Best

text: This is one of those ultra rare albums in kpop (and in life in general) that has no bad songs. Imo the weakest song on here is "Playboy", and it's still not what I'd call a bad song. Still Exo's best album, even better than Ex'act.


title: Rare Soundtrack

text: I'm was glad that I got this soundtrack. Anyone who is thinking of buying this soundtrack; buy it before its gone, it's one of the rare soundtracks on Amazon.

I also got 5 extra photocard
Definitely recommend

text: This will be a classic issue. IT was well protected got to be in great condition 10/10


title: Excellent Music

text: We were first introduced to this music at my in-laws church.  It was the soundtrack of their VBS theme.  Even my oldest son (18) loved it and wants to buy it.  Christ-honoring music, solid doctrine, and something the whole family can enjoy listening to.


title: Fast service

text: Not real thrilled with the new cd


title: Love it!

text: Came in perfect condition


Perfect


title: Scam

text: Do not preorder this. It’s a scam. Everything is labeled FAME, but it’s all from SACRIFICE. Now I have to find it elsewhere. So mad right now.

text: Came in perfect condition, nothing missing. Everything is perfect and the album looks so stunning. The best album by far I’ve ever bought!


title: I loved it but the only problem was that my poster ...

text: I loved it but the only problem was that my poster had a huge blade mark on the bottom so it was ripped like 5-7 inches. I love that poster though. but overall it came really quick and it came really good. I highly recommend!!!


title: Never thought much about this kind of music, until this CD!

text: This Cd was put out by Pier 1 imports as a compilation in 2000.  I worked there at the time, and collected a few of the Cds they put out.  I simply love this kind of music, and I'm scouring the internet to find another compilation of this kind...any suggestions?  Is this considered rhythm and blues or just blues?


title: Anointed

text: Many years ago the original group sang in Pike place. Maybe in the 80s. Bought a tape and cried when it became unplayable. Found a store that after checking the copyright with success reformatted it on a cd. I played it to death. Mr John was blind and his voice so resonated with me. Blessed me in many dark times. I hope Mr Cliff still has access to one. It would be so great to have. Bought this CD many years later from him and although wonderful Mr John is so missed. Thank you for your ministry 40 years strong and hope many more.


title: Devotional praise music

text: One of my favorite CDs, especially when I'm exercising.


Wonderful item.  Shipping was just like they said.


title: Satisfied Customer

text: Overall I was quite satisfied with my CD.  My only criticism might be that it was billed as "like new" and the CD was, the case a little less so.  But it was a good value.


title: Perfect

text: Great sounding and plays on 45


A great music score soundtrack by Harry Manfredini , and with some pretty great horror theme's on it, as well.


title: Original?? Pics original please!!

text: Original??<br />Pics original please!!


title: AWESOME.

text:
It arrived earlier than expected, which really made me happy. I also received the album in a bubble wrap inside a package. The album is not damaged at all, just a few bumps in some corners, which is accepted and expected.

Now about the actual album. It has amazing 23 tracks, each one I enjoyed very much. The photobook's concept is really beautiful, and it helps me find inspiration. The photocard I got is very cute (hoBI HOBI), and I'm very glad I got my bias. ^-^ There is a folded poster inside, it's so pretty, and I'd rather not ruin it so I kept it inside, folded, safely.


title: Classic Kool and the Gang

text: HIgh quality CD. Excellent sound. Makes my copy of Kool and the Gang; Live At The Sex Machine, sound like someone walked on it.


title: I love these guys-Clint

text: I love these guys-Clint, the lead singer and I were very good friends back in the day-And still friends on FB-I used to go watch them practice in a warehouse space before they started touring-And the other review was correct-Fontane spearheaded the new post-punk movement-I love their style, artistry, lyrical content and musician-ship-The honesty in these aongs is gut-wrenching-They come from real experiences they were going through at the time-YOU MUST GET THIS CD WHILE THERE ARE STILL SOME LEFT!


title: Beautiful

text:
Former lead singer with one of the vocal groups that used the name 'The Seekers.'  Probably their best known song is 'Georgy Girl' from the movie.

Her voice is still beautiful and her choice of songs includes some thought inspiring and philosophical ideas.


title: Pat Matheny, Still Life Talking

text: This is classic Metheny with the Brazilian rythm section sound. This came out in the late 80's and it sounds just as good as during the days of cassettes. I recommend this and for the late 70's, American Garage!


title: Five Stars

text: Satisfied, good job!


title: Great band / CD

text: The Veldt was a great college band of the 90's. They were regulars on the Frat. circuit in the Triangle region of North Carolina (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill). I remember seeing them many times while at NC State. Together with the Connells and Dillon Fence, the Triangle produced some great college bands during this time.


title: First track is excellent

text: Bought this CD after watching the movie "Parentesis". The first track "C'est plus pareil" is awesome, the rest is not that great.


title: Maegashira

text: This is basically Death n' Roll with stoner and doom metal influences. These songs tend to be relatively slow paced and just brutally jam away into the 6-22 minute marks. You get psychedelic lead guitar, catchy grooves, chunks of cool acoustic goodness, screamed and roared vocals, and long jam sections. This is a good cd to have if its your kinda thing.


title: I just wish I could have experienced the set live...

text:
You've just got to hand it to him. Rarely does he put a foot wrong, these mixes proves that he deserves his place at the high end of the DJ premier league.
Disk 1 starts kinda' mellow, building track by track towards a  pulsating climax, through great cut's like Breeder's remix of Orbital's  'Nothing Left'. Slip disk 2 on and suddenly the direction takes a 90-degree  turn towards breakbeat before seamlessly turning back towards some great  progressive melodies. Tracks such as BT's 'Mercury & Solace' evoke real  emotive responces as you can't help but be swept along on cutting-edge  journey through tomorrow's dance music.
Usually I wouldn't touch any  Ibiza compelation with a barge pole, but I've come to respect Sasha's  excellent mixing over the years. Mixes such as this manage to effortlessly  blow away the stench of cheese in what has unfortunatly become a somewhat  comercially-driven genre of late.
If you love his & John Digweed's  work on the 'Northern Exposure' CD's, then this is an essential buy.


title: Good entry into country music

text: This is is a solid CD, although it's less "country" than I expected. Perhaps I might describe it as Southern Rock / Alternative Country :). It's Mac Powell for sure, but out of his natural element, there is less depth and variety of the kind Third Day fans have come to expect. But for a first country album, it's solid and enjoyable to listen to.


title: Rating CD

text: I was disapointed that Noel Gallagher was not the lead singer. i would have not gotten it had I known

text: cd's were in good condition and sound great


title: Have so enjoyed the music

text: this was a used CD and as promised absolutely no scratches. Have so enjoyed the music, for it is no longer circulating. Kevin's music is wonderful and this one carries a real sentimental value for me.


title: Five Stars

text: Very pleased


title: Don't miss it, but don't spend a fortune either.

text:
First, don't spend $50 on this album!  It will show up somewhere for far less.  I certainly didn't pay that much for it.  It is worth that much, but 2 CDs at $25 a piece in this kind of sound is outrageous.
The performances are often spellbinding.  As noted by Amazon's reviewer the La Mer is in a class of its own.  Koussevitzsky, who had trouble reading orchestral scores and practiced with a pianist to get the parts right makes this complex composition into a masterpiece of color.  He understood nuance in orchestral sound in ways that few other conductors did or do today.  The Shostakovich 5th is right up his alley as well.  For the time period, you'll be hard pressed to find such idiosyncratic readings of all the works presented here.  Bide your time and spend around $20 if you can wait that long.  There are other used stores that don't overcharge for this kind of thing, but I doubt I can name them here.  They're in Western MA if that helps!
Of course Koussevitzsky had an overpowering personality.  He had been a bass player and understood the balance required from any orchestra as only a player of of the instruments that forms the foundation for an instrumental ensemble could;  those instruments are the basses and timpani.  The best conductors have them leading by microseconds.
A great set!

I'd like to add something to the "official" review concerning the orchestra under Barbirolli.  Who on earth was going to follow Toscanini with great success?  Futwangler?  Maybe.  The terrible news for Maestro Barbirolli when he arrived to take over was Toscanini's pilfering of the NYPO's very best players, including the superb timpanist Saul Goodman.  Those men joined Toscanini's NBC Symphony.  One cannot heap the entire blame on Barbirolli for not being "the world's great maestro" as his predecessor was falsely billed.  Barbirolli managed to conduct some lovely concerts in his short tenure with the NYPO that are available on CD.

title: THE Best Out Gay Album Ever

text:
7 songs.
7 masterful songs.
This album introduced me not just to a talented songwriter and recording artist but opened my eyes to just how wide the world of Out Gay musicians speaking to Out Gay audiences was.

1. Loud Boy Radio
For many years this was the opening (or theme) song for the long-running radio show Generation Q on WRSU-FM.
2. Boy With A Secret
is about coming of age and out of the closet: "I'm the boy that the priest picked from the choir... talking God while his eye was on my crotch." It's as Out, lyrically, as a song can get.
3. Do I Get What I Want
deserves to be a theme song of its own, for times when you deserve what you haven't got, and have the dignity to raise the issue without becoming an issue yourself.
4. Inside Out
still gives me chills as I relive the experience of hearing the hard-shell exterior of a man of great passion and with great doubts give way to a strong vulnerability underneath. "If I were Inside Out / would you love me as you do / ... Feel my passion / Burning raw like a sun deep inside / ... If I were Inside Out / And you were looking at my fear / Would you have to turn away?"
5. Human
is hauntingly assertive of one's humanity: "How I need you... flesh and blood and nothing less than human."
6. If I Was The D.J.
then we would all dance to this often.
7. I Will Follow
knows no peer among songs which are an epitaph by a survivor toward a lover.

As Jay of the long-gone Outvoice-Outloud sites put it, "These are simply just great songs that come from a place of unflinching honesty."

I simply love this album.

The production values are excellent, the lyrics are consistently evocative, the singer is expressive without being cloying, the moment in time is captured perfectly, and most of it is dance music for people who think dance music all sounds too much the same. If you somehow should chance upon this review, take the opportunity to avail yourself of one of the 99 cent copies of this CD often available here. Or go ahead and indulge in a full-price copy: It's not like this set is readily available everywhere. (It's not.)

The power of this set has stuck with me since 1999 -- over 15 years since I first heard it. (It was released in 1998.) I honestly don't understand how it is that great records with wide-ranging appeal like Loud Boy Radio get lost while cliquish fans zealously keep the memories of minor-genre lesser efforts alive. These musical times of ours are not as golden as we like to imagine. Experience discovering some unfairly overlooked and underappreciated music for yourself.


title: Sitting strong after 5 months...

text: I was given a copy of this cd just a week before Halloween Alaska played at the club I am a sound engineer at.  Since my very first listen of this album, 5 months ago, it still remains my favorite album of all time.  Many cd's come and go out of regular rotation in my cd player(s) but this album has never lost it's appeal to me.  It is beautiful in more ways that I can comment on.  I can only imagine what the next album will do to me.


title: Five Stars

text: Very good cd


title: Kenneth Higney - Attic Demonstration

text:
The first time I heard "Look at the River", I was horrified, but the recording slowly grew on me.  I was intrigued by the quality of the recording and the vocal undulations and coarse sounds that Higney produced.  I wound up listening to "Look at the River" repeatedly, and I wound up really enjoying the song.  I read other peoples' reviews of the entire album, hearing that it was considered a very popular album with cult status. I decided to take the plunge and purchase the whole album on CD.

What I realized is that this album is quite addicting...I love every note and imperfection. This album is really fun to listen to.  The music works its way into my brain like an unwelcome guest, and what it has become is an "I wish I discovered this album years ago!" piece of art.  What initially sounded like a discordant, chaotic, almost sloppy recording has grown to become one of my favorite albums.


title: An Austrian Tubthumping?

text: A smattering of quintessential tracks for any 90s themed party. An album in the rare class of albums that holds together as a work of art. Compare to Dark Side of the Moon, Random Access Memories, or Pleasureman.


title: Good album.

text: Most songs are heartfelt.

text: This thing is awesome! And for a great price you can’t beat it.


title: Excellent Educational Tool

text: Bought this for our 4 year old because it was recommended by her school. This CD stays on rotation in the car and is a popular request. Its very repetitive which I feel lends to increased memorization. Quite frankly, it drives me crazy, but she's committing the presidents to memory and she's four...I think I can deal with that!


title: Five Stars

text: Super fun, catchy tunes.


title: Five Stars

text: Great music from a band that is so overlooked in the USA.


title: Emerging indie rock band from England

text:
I saw Life In Film when they opened for The Wombats last year. It took some time to find out who they were and where to buy the CD. The song that stood out to be when they performed live was "Get Closer". It has a nice southern country feel to fit while still being a rock song. "Full Circle" has an excellent pace to it and the lyrics and background vocals add to its overall presentation. "Anna, Please Don't Go" is a nice slow song for the band and it's clearly something different than than what is on the rest of the album which tends to be mostly optimistic.

I would give the album 5 stars but it lacks the mega-hits which could really put them on the map.


title: Missing scene card

text: Each album is supposed to come with 2 random photocards and 1 scene card. My Protocol Terminal version came with 2 photocards but no scene card. Great album musically but I’m disappointed that I didn’t receive the scene card.


title: Beautiful!

text: The sounds of Claude Debussy are finally swishing around in my own on a vinyl record that I own. The record is great but it seems a little crackly and dusty so I wiped it down with a soft cloth and now it sounds beautiful!


title: the best CD from Kirkorov!!!!  I love it.

text: delivery.fast in  3 days  spasiba  lov Kirkorov music  CD DRUGOY  is great original style of music...recomended to Kirkorov fans


title: I didn't enjoy "Magic People" as much as I enjoy "Ellis Island," though this isn't bad at all ...

text: I didn't enjoy "Magic People" as much as I enjoy "Ellis Island," though this isn't bad at all.  Some of the background vocals contain harmonies which are too reminiscent of mid 1960's pop for me, but I found it interesting to hear how The Paupers evolved as a band, and how this led to their second and final album "Ellis Island" the following year.


title: Very unusual album, very difficult to describe the style-  The 1920's and the 1930's meets the late 1960's perhaps...

text: Sometimes I hear an album which is simply very difficult to describe-  The musicians in The Great Metropolitan Steam Band blended styles which were popular in the American ragtime and vaudeville music of the 1920's and the 1930's with musical styles that were popular among the progressive rock bands and the folk- rock musicians of the late 1960's, thus creating a unique "fusion" or blend here-  I don't know what else I can say about this album, if you listen to it, it become very obvious from the first 2 songs that they're not playing 1920's or 1930's style songs true to the style of that era, they are intentionally blending styles from different eras.  I am NOT a music historian, I have only the knowledge of a layperson here, the lyrics and the singing styles sound more reminiscent of songs from the 1920's and the 1930's, some of the riffs that the guitarist and the pianist are playing sound very late 1960's-esque to me-  The sound is very interesting, the songs are all well done, and I do recommend this album-<br />  I don't know anything else about this band, they may have been blending the styles from different eras to make a comment about a comparison between some of the social or the political issues of the 1920's and the 1930's with the social and the political issues of the latter half of the 1960's, or they might have just been having fun blending styles from different eras purely for fun...


title: Not the best collection of Renata Tebaldi arias

text: This is a compilation of Renata Tebaldi's most famous arias culled by the Metropolitan Opera Guild.  The transfers are not great and are heavily cut/edited.  The fidelity of the transfers are muddy and not great.  The best thing about this disc is the booklet which has many pics of Tebaldi costumed for her roles. Instead, I would suggest buying "Renata Tebaldi:  The Early Recordings" on Decca/London or "La Tebaldi" also on Decca/London.  These have more interesting selections and the sonic transfers are much better.

title: A wonderful listening experience

text: Lovely, haunting and restful.  A wonderful listening experience.


title: I love Bach

text:
With this collection we have a lot to review: the recording--it's just fine; the artists--they play perfectly well; and Bach.

About Bach. He is perhaps undervalued today, but I believe he is the most imaginative, inventive, and capable composer of the baroque era--but let's not stop there. He is great for all time, always keeping within those forms of his day but pushing the formal lines with his great variety of sounds. These "piano" concertos (or concerti, if you want to be Italian about it) are favorites of mine. I have two other recordings of them. Which brings us to the major idea of my review.

The renditions on this recording allow me to lose interest. That does not happen when I put the other recordings on. My guess is it's the tempos (or tempi). They are a bit too slow. And I think the musicians here see Bach as a little ploddy, and that's how they play him. Bach doesn't have to be played that way. And he shouldn't be played that way.

So there it is. I may be picky, but so be it. I give this CD set 2 1/2 stars out of 5.


title: Incorrectly described

text: This is not an original 1988 CD.  This is a 2006 remaster with compressed dynamic range (db 6~8) on TT DR Meter.  Sounds awful.


title: Can't go wrong with Rob Thomas

text: I've been a fan of Rob Thomas since 1999 and have loved every song so I don't need to talk about how great this c.d. is especially since I'm biased anyway. So I'll review amazon instead. I got my order within a week in excellent condition and have played it multiple times without a glitch. The price was kind of high for me, but I'm pretty cheap though I prefer the word practical. However it does have bonus tracks and I didn't find it in stores so I went for it. All in all I'm really happy with this c.d. my only complaint would be the price.


title: Amazing

text: This album is amazing. It came faster than the expected date and there wasn’t really any damage. Came with everything it said it would. I recommend buying it.


title: Wonderful music

text: the artist is a wonderful friend and an excellent artist. I am just sorry I lost the signed copy I received from him. God bless. Great man and hope he keeps writing.


title: album is fine, but SONY disk stinks!!!!!!!!!

text: Sony is taking us back to the Stone Age--I was unable to copy this disk for use in other locations in my home, nor to use on my player.  I received about 5 blue screens on my new computer. . .bad, bad, bad.  I will never buy a SONY protected disk again.


title: treasure of country music.

text: we can listen alive country steel guitar sound by leon mcauliffe, member of bob wills's texas playboys and star players of LP record days. this album made with favurous country music musician, don reno, alvino ray, bonnie guitar<br />and walter brennan???. good album from lost DOT label. it's miracle.


title: Wonderful and catchy

text: Love this CD.  The whole CD is great from track to track.  To me it is like Coldplay and Travis.  Very catchy music.  I will definitely buy another CD by A Silent Film.


title: Sounds Great

text: I love this CD, I can enjoy the sounds of being outside when I can't go outside!


Really works well, but over a 30 day period the stiffness gets more flexible and you may need to adjust where you are wearing it on your finger.  Suggest not getting it wet. Works very good and works as it advertised. I highly recommend.

title: Love it times 20+

text: Years ago I bought this CD as baby shower gift.  The parent and the baby LOVED it.  Since then I have give out over 20 of them and each time it has been loved.  Many parents tell me it is the only music their child peacefully sleeps with.  More recently, I played this always for my little niece at nap time.  She loves this music and asks for it as her "nap time music".  I admit I love it too.


title: Great selection of oldies.

text: One of the best collections of the music some of us love and cannot be without! I made the mistake of getting an extra copy for a friend and now several other friends are asking for a copy.


title: Great Seller

text: I'm going to be honest here, mine came with a few things missing and a bit damaged but as soon as I contacted the seller, they quickly offer me options to make things right, they were very nice, kind and attentive. I'll most definitely buy from them again. 😊


title: Very nice!

text: I'm very happy with this purchase!! It got here sooner that it was supposed to and it came with awesome gifts!! I love it! Definitely recommended! I'll buy again soon!
