Album Description

The sounds for this series were recorded in 3D by Chuck Plaisance. His recording system is designed to simulate human hearing, using a binaural head microphone to capture depth, height, width, as well as directional movement. No special equipment is needed to get 3D sound from traditional stereo speakers. In fact, these albums will make your system - speakers or headphones - sound like it never has before. You are the experience.

All pieces contain compositions of pure Nature Sounds produced, arranged, edited and mastered by Chuck Plaisance and Suzanne Doucet. (aka Virtual Audio Environment).

Perfect To Fall Asleep To.......2006-07-20

I bought this CD because I didn't really know which type of sound I'd relax most too be it ocean, rain, forest, etc. Well I love all the sounds on this sampler, and I play it every night. My hubby says that 20 mins into the CD there's a rooster crowing, but I wouldn't know because by that time I'm already fast asleep. Great stuff!

3-Dimensional Pure Nature Sounds.......2005-11-21

This excellent compilation of 20 different Nature Sound albums was out of print, but is now finally available again through ONLY NEW AGE MUSIC(repackaged and remastered). This album creates a journey through different Nature scenes all recorded by Chuck Plaisance, with a special microphone that simulates human hearing. The sounds were then edited and composed, arranged and mixed like an orchestrated piece but still remain pure Sounds of Nature. Like Bernie Krause Doucet and Plaisance take essential Nature Sounds and recreate an ambience that takes you even deeper into the essence of Nature.

This set tells you why Jussi Bjorling is a perennial entrant in the "Tenor of the Century" sweepstakes. Even as the voice darkens from the light lyric to the full, darker instrument of the later recordings, we hear a singer whose elegant style, lovely timbre and innate musicality touch the heart. Many of the selections are sung in Swedish, less of a liability than you might suppose. In whatever language, Bjorling's molten gold flows lavishly. He eschews the sobs and sentimentality that disfigure so much verismo repertory, making his points with stylish vocalism. He's been called a "cool" singer, but try his Puccini and Verdi arias on Disc One and you'll find more than enough vocal and emotional heat. The selections include many neglected Scandinavian songs, sung, like the arias, with a naturalness that disarms criticism. -- Dan Davis

Amazon.com

Swedish tenor Jussi Björling gets many votes for the distinction of greatest all-time tenor. Up to the end, the voice projected a boyish vulnerability, though he also had enough stentorian power to sing the heavy Puccini roles and was ready to take on Lohengrin when he died. He was so deeply musical he eschewed the usual tenor vulgarity without ever slighting the music's theatricality. Even these four well-filled discs of arias and songs can't fully encompass the vocal riches he left behind, but there's a lot here, much of it from his earliest years and (hope you don't mind) sung in a Swedish translation. --David Patrick Stearns

Customer Reviews:

Superb!.......2001-07-29

This is an wonderful compilation of one of the most incredible voices on record. Whether you are a new or old Bjorling fan -- and who could hear that voice and not be enthralled by it -- this is a fine CD to have. The quality of the recording is excellent, and the range in years, from 1930 to 1959, gives a splendid overview of his dazzling talent. In addition to many of the arias one might expect, there are also lieder and songs in Swedish, as well as some charming duets with Jussi's wife, Anna-Lisa. I have quite a few other Bjorling CDs, and this is one of the best in terms of quality and scope. It is a most worthy addition to any Bjorling collection, regardless of its size.

Beatiful singing - but where are the Swedish texts?.......2001-06-22

This is an excellent collection, the best available overview of a great tenor.

This would get 4 stars but has been marked down for only supplying token texts and translations in the large booklet. It is understandable (sort of) that the Italian opera excerpts don't merit texts and translations as (apart from the Callas recitals series) EMI generally doesn't provide texts with historical issues. However the tempting inclusion of a dozen or so texts to the Italian and Swedish songs makes one all the more aware of the miserliness of not providing all the texts.

if you like bjorling this is the best thing you can get!.......2000-06-26

this is so awesome, i love his voice, this is good for anyone, the professional or just someone who wants to hear the greatest tenor of all times! this is so great

The ULTIMATE Collection.......1999-11-02

When starting my Bjorling collection, I saw MANY CDs, with his early recordings. I was in a quandry as to what to buy, UNTIL I found this set. TRULY remarkable in many levels.FIRST and foremost, the voice. Captured in all levels, from the earliest to the latest. Truly wonderful, and the Swedish versions are a real treat to hear, don't worry, the Italian versions are here too!!Secondly, the remastering process. This set was remastered at Abbey Studios in London. For the first time I've heard, they actually pressed NEW 78s from the metal plates, and THEN remastered the new discs!!! Inspired, and the results--incredible.I find myself listening to Disc 3 the most. Very interesting, as it is the Swedish one. When the songs are terrific, along with the "standard" tenor arias, and it all comes together, it is PURE MAGIC!! I will admit that due to time limitations of recordings of this era, the opera house Bjorling is not fully conveyed. There are other CDs for that. Most notably "Romeo and Juliet", and for a REAL thrill, his ATLANTA concert, in STEREO, so much so, that the piano is even divided; left hand left, right hand right. Wait a minute, am I playing TWISTER??:-)) But if you want to skip all those unknown labels, you couldn't have a MORE complete set. ALL wit the great remastering I spoke of. Bjorling--His voice will NEVER die, at least in MY house!!!

Definitive survey of one of the finest singers on record.......1998-09-25

Jussi Bjoerling was one of the greatest singers of the century. His voice is pure, effortless and yet thrilling. Even better than the quality of the voice is his style. He never scoops up to a note nor does he ever whoop down from one, instead, he uses perfect legato and faultless intonation to deliver the cleanest sound you'll ever hear from a tenor.

This collection, from the large set of EMI recordings, provides a wonderful survey of Bjoerling's career. He was a straight 'spinto' tenor, that is, between a lyrical tenor (like Pavarotti) and a dramatic tenor (like Domingo). Most of the Puccini roles demand a spinto and those are the roles that Bjoerling was unbeatable in (particularly Des Grieux in Manon Lescaut). However, I think I most prize this collection for the songs sung in English on the last disc. I had some of them on a cassette I wore out in the car and others on a vinyl disc I wore out at home. For shear beauty of voice, the Berceuse by Jocelyn is stunning. For perfect diction, intonation and style, Love but a Day is breathtaking. Buy this set and I guarantee you'll fall in love with what many think is the finest voice on record.

Accomplished bravura performance.......2003-04-13

This recording was highlighted by the recently updated Penguin Guide, and deservedly so. However, there are a number of things that stop it getting 5 stars.

The highlight of this album is undoubtedly the Third Piano Concerto. Rodriguez puts in a bravura performance which, whilst fast, avoids vanishing into a stream of notes like Argerich. Indeed in the quickest passages one cannot help but wonder at the sheer lyrical quality of his playing. The orchestra, whilst not being particularly well known, provides able support throughout.
There are a couple of slightly annoying problems with the recording though; Firstly, there is a large amount of coughing heard during some of the quieter parts in the first movement. Second, at the end of the third movement, the quality of the sound changes quite a bit, I suspect that a microphone on the audience was switched on in order to record the applause, unfortunately this makes listening to the recording via headphones an ultiately flattening experience.

As for the other pieces, the Elegy is well played and draws immediate comparisons with Rachmaninov's earlier Romantic influences. However a lot of the rest of the playing is slightly wooden, this is especially so in the final B flat minor prelude - probably the most dramatic solo piano composition - which is rendered slightly heavy handedly.

In conclusion, buy it for the recording of the Piano Concerto.

The magic of Herr Corbeil..........2005-10-15

Yet, again... another great masterpiece by Mr.Normand Corbeil (Hitler:The Rise of Evil,The Statement,Pentagon Papers). He's a talented composer!I was introduced to him through the mini-series of Hitler: The Rise of Evil by CBS which, by the way,have captivating scores especially 'Geli's Theme','Helena's Theme' and another one which i cant remember. Too bad it does not come in CDs.
I have not heard of the other composers, but from the result that they achieved for the scores of NAPOLA, I can say it is a work of art! The scores are so beautiful that you will immediately escape into another world! The Opening theme is wonderful!
I have not heard of other tracks besides the one that they play at the official website, but seeing Mr.Corbeil's name as the composer and heard two to three songs from the album, it is justified enough that this is one album that is truly captivating!

Very polished, if you like your Carmina to behave itself.......2000-08-17

I essentially agree with the reviewer below. The Robert Shaw Chorale and the Atlanta Symphony do a very commendable performance here. The singing is polished, expertly timed, and blends beautifully with the orchestra. If you prefer this more exacting style of performance, you will probably rate this recording highly. On the other hand, if you prefer this piece to reflect its highly spiritied and indeed profane nature, there are other recordings that go in that direction. Herbert Blomstadt and the San Francisco Symphony have done a nice job in getting the "racous and raunchy" feel for this music across. There is an older recording with Eugene Ormandy on the CBS label that does likewise, but it suffers from its age (digital technonology can only do so much for older recordings). The best, most spirited recording of this piece that I have heard was over a public radio station, and it was the Berlin Radio Philharmonic (and unfortunately I did not get the conductor or featured singers). I am still searching for this one, because you could easily visualize the "knowing glances" of the male and female choruses as they worked themselves up to the sensual parts. They seemed to be having a lot of fun, keeping with the spirit of the music. Finally, the comment about some of the softer parts getting "lost," and requiring adjustment in the volume (for the Shaw verision) strikes me as accurate. That is exactly what I did upon first trying this CD, and I think any recording should not require fiddling with the volume control.

I have heard this "Fortune, Empress of the world" on so many movies, and I have always loved it, and now I have found it!

Thinking the 100 tracks this four volume set has to offer would be a relaxing in the car, or underscored during work time, I found the compilation of various composers to be rather jarring. Each CD contains 25 tracks of different movements from 6 to 8 artists, which don't follow any pleasing through line. If you are interested in learning just who composed which famous piece, or if you need to have on hand the top 100 classical pieces (according to whom? I don't know), then this may be right for you. If you are looking for leisure then I suggest you find something that actually completes a symphony.
