Frank's view.......2006-08-19

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

GREAT!.......2003-02-28

spartan.......2002-04-25

I decided to pass on this package, pull out my old vinyl and put together my own compilation instead so it would include must-have numbers like "I Knew You When" and "Flirtin'". To the compilers' credit they did include an album cut, "Chilly Winds", one of the Osmonds' finest moments ever. But I'd expect a box set to include a few b-sides or rarities too, things like "Keep On My Side" (the so-so flip of their best single, "Yo-Yo"). Yes they're from "Utah", include that song too!

All they really needed to do was to intertwine the songs from all the careers in chronological order over a four disk set to provide the depth that a worthy box set should give. With that kind of career perspective they could even afford to make you smile by including something ancient like "When The Red Red Robin..." from the Andy Williams show. Where the careers were seriously divergent, the cool and simple inclusion of interview sound bites between, e.g. "Last of the Red Hot Lovers" / "Crazy Horses" or "Going Going Gone" / "My Drum" would both help the segue and flesh out the box set beyond just a rote recitation of popular recordings. When they put THAT box set out, I'll buy it.
