Handel's Greatest Hits.......2007-02-26

I found this recording disappointing in many respects. The sound quality was much lower than expected, especially on track 7 "Largo" which on the origional, Ormandy had created such a quiet grandeur. In trach 11 "Let the Bright Seraphim" Wynton Marsalis overpowered the singing of Edita Gruberova, whereas the music should always be the backup of the singer, and not vice versa. I don't know what happened to the "Hallelujah Chorus," but it didn't come off very well at all.

Music for feel joy and peace..........2006-11-03

...the music is one of the most authentic feelings from human soul...it says without words the real feeling of the composer and listener...enjoy this beautifyl music to serenate your spirit....thanks God for music..

All Handel's Greatest Hits are not created equal........2004-02-25

Nothing else tops this unusually gorgeous rendering. Leppard's is the finest conducting of Handel to this reviewers ears. Especially the Xerxes Largo and the Watermusic
Hornpipes and Fireworks Oveurture tempi, legato and orchestration is full of warmth and energy. A true chiara scuro interpretation. Fabulous!!!!

Could use more oratorical works, but nice intro to Handel.......2001-08-08

This collection of George Frideric Handel's "Greatest Hits" leans more heavily towards "The Water Music Suite" than his oratorical work, which is my only serious complaint about this CD as an introduction to the composer's work. Although is does have "See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes" from Judas Maccabaeus and ends with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir doing the "Hallelujah Chorus," it does not have "For Unto Us a Child is Born" from Messiah, which I consider a glaring omission. The "new" piece for me on this CD that is a nice discovery is "Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne (Eternal Source of Light Divine)," performed by Wynton Marsalis and the English Chamber Orchestra.

Marches II.......2004-01-17

i'm trying out for drum major, and part of the try outs is marching an L-pattern, the kind of pattern that you would do in a regular drum major competition. it shows your parade marching skills, your ability to stick to tempo, and your directing abilities. so for tryouts, i need to pick a march and this cd has so many to choose from, its awesome! and its also great if your a band director looking for a good march for your marching band to play, or if you just like listening to John Sousa, who rocks. yay for this cd!

Absolutely Beautiful Music.......2007-03-08

This is an excellent CD of music by some of the greatest composers of all time. It shows just how beautiful the flute is. The only criticism I have is that I thought the three parts of Bach's Orchestral Suite should have been grouped together on the CD. But this is only personal opinion and by no means takes away from the gorgeous flute music.

best, best, best........1999-07-14

This Cd will take you to the higher realm with Dance of the blessed spirit then suddenly awaken you with it's vigorous polonaise by Bach. TUNE in with this CD and it will take you to a different level of reality

Excellent for Piano Students.......2006-10-06

Perfectly performed versions of classic piano pieces for the advanced beginner/early intermediate piano student. Very useful and enjoyable to listen to for such piano students and pleasant enough for others.

Great listening, any time.......2006-08-25

I purchased this cd after hearing one song from it on classical radio. Because it is a cd meant to show students how to play songs, the songs are played simply, without embellishment. They are lovely. This is a great cd to play when you want to relax and just hear simple melodies played beautifully.

A must-have for piano teachers.......2002-03-15

I am a piano instructor at a large conservatory where I instruct many younger players. This disc stays in the CD player in my studio almost constantly. Nowhere else will you find such a great collection of pieces which are in the standard teaching repetoire. The playing on this disc is very clean and clear, with great attention to each and every musical detail. My students have all benefitted from this fine recoding.

My family loves it!.......1999-12-04

I can't believe no one thought of this before. A major pianist has recorded the music that my children play. Now that my they have heard Mr. Shehori's CD, my children started to play at a noticably higher standard.

Apart from the educational aspect, this CD is really a pleasure for me to listen to. I always loved these pieces (particularly Bach's Inventions and Schumann's Happy Farmer) Now I can finally hear them played by a great artist.

I do regret that Mr. Shehori didn't record more sonatinas by Clementi. I hope to see these in future Series.

Amazing Music!.......2006-06-14

I was fortunate enough to catch The Carl Palmer Band last week in Glenside, PA. Having seen a few in my day, I can't recall many heavy metal bands that played with such volume and intensity. Most everything in the show I saw is on both "Working Live" albums and I recomend them both for those looking for a great reworking of classic Emerson, Lake, and Palmer music along with some other good stuff. This is a really tight band and I could not have been more impressed with this concert or with the CDs. If your the least bit interested, pick them up.

MONSTER DRUMMER and BAND.......2006-06-09

I just saw the Carl Palmer Band at the Birchmere in Alexandria , Va. last night. I'm so glad I went. This was some hard driving
technically astounding rock music played by 3 of the most overachieving talented musicians I have ever heard.

Carl Palmer is the most turbo charged dynamic drummer in the world. He is in a class all his own. He was playing double bass drum solos, cymbal solos. He had great showmanship, very witty warm personality and he new how to touch the
crowd by speaking to us between every song, telling a little story about the next tune to be played. --

"And here's a little song off of Brain Salad Surgery titled 'TOCCATA' "!

His guitar player looked about 18 years old ( bass player looked about 20) and both have already mastered their instruments.

They played a ton of ELP tunes and I am still amazed how the guitar player was able to pull it off!!

This was some solid straight ahead HARD Rock. Very loud and moving. I still can't get over how strong of a drummer CP is. Two straight hours of Heavy Metal THUNDER with a brief interlude of some soft jazz guitar virtuosity . Finger tapping for both bass and guitar players. Tasteful vibrato with distortion and very heavy playing.

I hope the Carl Palmer band comes back to town because I'm ready for round two.

E, Your ears still ringing? I think we got some good pictures. -v

Raw, heavy and magnificent.......2004-05-10

Having seen Carl and his virtuoso companions at the Basingstoke Studio last Saturday, I just had to buy one of their CDs on the way out, as this music is truly awesome!

Whilst queuing to get in I heard the end of the band's soundcheck - a portion of Tarkus, and thought to myself "hey they must have a keyboard guru to rival Keith Emerson!" I was wrong. The fast and furious keyboard parts are all played on screaming lead guitar and, oh boy, does it sound incredible!

Whilst Carl's live band is now sporting a new young guitarist (sorry don't know his name), due to Steve Baxter (who plays on this album) suffering from severe tinnitus following a car crash, their styles and skills are very similar and at first I couldn't believe that the guy playing on Working Live Vol 1 wasn't the one I saw in concert.

All of the tracks will be well known to ELP fans, but you will never have heard them like this before. Barbarian opens the album and sets the scene for what is to come; oh-so-heavy brooding and intricate bass from the greatly talented Dave Marks, coupled with blistering guitar from Steve Baxter and, of course, pounding, weaving mesmerising percussion from the master himself. Enemy God from "Works" is an even greater vehicle for Carl to display his mighty skills. LA Nights, which ELP fans will remember featuring Joe Walsh on "Works" has a slightly more jazzy/bluesy feel and contrasts nicely with the more gothic material here (and also has an almost miraculous guitar outro), whereas the seminal Tank is supremely evocative. Bullfrog is, for me, perhaps the only slightly disappointing track, as it comes over as less tight and more discordant than the rest and with no particularly enjoyable melody. It does, however have some scorchingly fast guitar work to redeem it. Then we have the album's highlights; Ginastera's Tocatta from the classic "Brain Salad Surgery" album is nothing short of a masterpiece here. This eerie and magnificent piece has never sounded better. Then Canario (probably the only good thing from the disappointing "Love Beach" album) gives the axeman par excellence a chance to display his ample skills and will have you agog with awe. Carl then rounds the album off with the drum solo to end all solos.

Throughout this set, the musicianship is stunning - rarely will you find three musicians working so hard - each masters of their own art, but also coming together to create something far greater than the sum of its parts.

Live, the band's encore is a delightfully bombastically gothic rendition of "O Fortuna" from Orff's Carmina Burana. I gather this will feature on Working Live Volume 2. I can't wait to get that.

A Musical Marriage.......2003-11-04

The Barbirolli Society and Dutton Laboratories have reissued yet another brilliant session by the great British conductor Sir John Barbirolli. "Oboe Concertos Volume 2" finds JB with wife Evelyn Rothwell again making beautiful music together. The three Concerto performances by Haydn, Marcello and Corelli (from 1957, 1969 and 1968 respectively) are the highlight of the disc, which also features six chamber pieces. This is music that Barbirolli likely would not have played were it not for Evelyn, but it is a testament to their love that they found the perfect pieces to perform and share together. Like other releases in this series, the recordings have been digitally remastered from the original sources superbly by Michael J. Dutton. Barbirolli Society CDs are certainly a treat, but they don't stay around very long. Buy this JB title while you can!

Charming!!!.......2004-03-13

This is an absolutely charming little compilation of baroque and classical music. It concists mostly of Mozart, then Bach. The cd has only stimulated my thurst for more! Next, I'll purchase the Bach Hits Back CD. The technical adroitness of this group is amazing... and to think: they started out doing what they do only to warm up before concerts!!! The music induces a light, airy, and always delightful atmosphere. A good pick-me-up.

I've always dreamed about this.......2000-07-18

This has been one of the first Stereo records my Dad brought from States in 1966! For some time, since I've got my forst CD player, I wondered, whether there are any Swingle Singers' CD releases. Trust me -- this one won't disappoint you. As (I guess) all the others. Swoingle Singers have been one of the REAL artists of rythm and melody, feeling this unique swinging line in the classics, finding a way to show it to the masses. Their music is greatly suitable for any public ocasion and a must in the collection of a real Easy Listening fan!

Interested oboe player.......2007-05-13

It is a fine collection of oboe pieces, and I really enjoy listening to them. The only complaint I have is that the case was broken when it got here (I'm not sure if it was before it was shipped or not).

Oboe cd.......2007-01-11

This cd took a little while to be delivered (a few weeks) but it was in excellent condition. I bought it along with another oboe cd so it could be that one of them was out of stock and they waited for that so that both could be shipped at the same time (which was fine with me).

What a great CD for a Great Price.......2007-01-09

I really love the music on this CD.
I just cant stop listening to this. If you enjoy classical music. You will like this CD and if you would like a introduction to classical music than this is the CD for you.
(If you find that you dont like it, you have not spent a lot of money on it).
Enjoy :-)

Good for orchestra studies.......2005-07-24

The record presents the oboe very well. Price can't be beat too. Oboe music is always enjoyable (well, that's somewhat subjective, of course, but if you like oboe, you'll like this collection).

Just a small caution: this is a study aid sort of thing. I find listening to fragments of music -- frequently very familiar music -- somewhat distressful because of this coitus interruptus sorta feeling, kind of like when in the middle of Watermusik the Dying Swan piece suddenly heaves into sight.

In other words, this is a perfect CD for teaching kids the orchestra, but if you simply want some oboe music for pleasure, then I'd recommend to pick something else; for example "The Handel Collection" (a pretty old record), by The City of London Sinfonia (cond. John Rutter), 1990 American Gramaphone Records -- it is a collection too, but not excerpts, pieces are played fully, and the performance is sometimes better. It's just one example; I have it handy so I've mentioned it, that's all. I don't like listening to excerpts, that's what I'm trying to say. But I'm not saying this CD's bad, it's very good for orchestra studies.

Excellent.......2004-06-15

I really enjoyed this! It was really great for all oboe and classical music lovers! Very Very Nice!

There are some standard songs on this cd and there are some other songs arranged for the horn. I've listened to a lot of French horn playing and these tracks are pretty good (and I play the instrument). This cd is not one of the standard horn cds that every person should have (see Dennis Brain's recordings of the Mozart Concertos), but this cd will not disappoint. Bottom line, if you play the horn, like the horn, or have never heard the horn, don't pass this cd up because it is a good addition to any collection.

Wonderful CD.......2004-02-13

This is an amazing CD for French Horn enthusiasts. The last few tracks aren't centered on the FH, which is a disappointment, but the rest of the CD is amazing.

good selection, good performance.......2000-07-24

This CD is a very good selection of pieces from a number of well known composers featuring the horn. The performances are also very good. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the music of the horn. As one who plays it myself, I can recognize a good performance and this is definitely it.
