Do you remember Red Dust and Spanish Lace? Yeah, it's that good and more. The Crossing is destined to become a classic.

Same as "The Very Best of Acoustic Alchemy" I consider very relaxing music while I am driving going home no matter traffic jam and of course listening the CD at home with my family.

I have been a fan for 12 years and still love their sound. Since the death of Nick Webb Acoustic Alchemy has continued in his memory and honors his influence while moving forward and trying to incorporate other styles. Radio Contact and American English continue on with quality music. This is worth adding to your collection.

Elevator music.......2006-04-21

A pale, half-hearted set. Reminiscient of Positive Thinking from 1998, but without the energy. I can't fault the technical musicianship of the band: they're all super-accomplished. But this album left me cold. Blah.

Phantasia - Julian Lloyd Webber
The Woman In White Suite - Simon Lee

Amazon.com

The arrangers of these Andrew Lloyd Webber works aspire to carry on the operatic tradition of Mozart, Verdi, and Wagner by transforming his vocal compositions into independent instrumental pieces. But the music's origin in theater and film is unmistakable, and the transitions between the tunes and sections are pretty bumpy. Phantasia combines material from both the stage and movie versions of The Phantom of the Opera in a double concerto which showcases a virtuoso violinist and cellist with brilliant cadenzas, runs, and soaring stratospheric flights. It also casts them as the play's protagonists in ardently passionate love duets. Although the cello part was written for the composer's brother, who plays it very well, Sarah Chang easily steals the show, especially in this technically and tonally stunning, all-out performance. The two soloists play with and off each other, projecting an infectious sense of sheer exuberant enjoyment. The Woman in White Suite conveys the spooky as well as the pastoral and passionate elements of Collins's gothic mystery story and features dances in various styles: straight and parodistic waltzes and tangos and jazzy rhythms. The composer's orchestrations are lush, veering between whispers and crashes, so keep a finger on the volume control. --Edith Eisler

Customer Reviews:

Not very interesting........2007-04-02

This music is pleasant enough for background listening, but I did not perceive much substance.

Beautiful, Haunting, and Inspiring.......2006-11-11

If you think this CD is identical to the movie soundtrack or the show's cast recording, except without lyrics, think again! It is a unique arrangement, organized in a way to be harmonious for what it is -- a violin and cello adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera".

The first time you listen, you might be confused at the order in which the songs are presented, but you'll get used to it quickly. There are no separate tracks, it's a single long piece. (The second track on the CD is a similar arrangement of music for ALW's "The Woman in White".)

This music is haunting at times, inspiring at times, and always, always beautiful! The violin and cellos weave around each other, telling the story of Christine and her Angel of Music -- a story of love, betrayal, and courage. It's perfect to listen to while you drive, or cook, or sew, or draw, or relax in bed. Even while you're reading Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of the Opera"!

Whether you're a lover of violin and cello music, or a PotO fan, you'll enjoy this CD.

5 stars for the use of sarah chang as violinist.......2006-07-18

the use of sarah chang as the violin soloist was perfect. her innocent, sweet, feminine tone epitomizes christine daae's character. however, in fiery/virtuosic passages, she goes all out. her intensity is unrestrained and unwavering throughout the entire piece.

Beautiful and haunting, but sometimes unrecognizable.......2006-06-08

I love this album and hate it. The violins and cellos sound very beautiful, but sometimes I don't even recognize the music. They'll play parts of songs, and that will sound really nice, but then when they transition in between songs, it'll just be random screeching and random music being played where it shouldn't be. It gets me really lost. I was keeping up with all the songs from the begining but then I'll get lost for about three minutes until the tune is familiar again. All in all, not so bad but not so good either.

Andrew Lloyd Weber has never sounded better.......2006-05-18

Andrew Lloyd Weber's musicals have never sounded better than here with a full orchestra and his brother Julian on Cello joining Sarah Chang on Violin for a suite arranged from the music of Phantom. With the two soloists playing the parts of Christine and the Phantom, the beauty of Lloyd's writing (and Geoffrey Alexander's arrangement) is brought forth more clearly than the staged theater productions. While Julian's playing is merely adequate, Chang shines brilliantly as she so often does.

Amazon.com

The Woman in White, Andrew Lloyd Webber's first musical in four years, debuted in London in September 2004. "Freely adapted" from Wilkie Collins's gothic mystery-romance, it tells the story of a young art teacher, Walter Hartright (Martin Crewes), who encounters a mysterious woman dressed in white desperate to tell a secret. But she disappears, and Walter continues on to his assignment teaching a pair of sisters, Marian Holcombe (Maria Friedman) and Laura Fairlie (Jill Paice). Romance develops, but is threatened by the arrival of some shady characters, Sir Percival Glyde (Oliver Darley) and Count Fosco (Michael Crawford).

The score, featuring lyrics by David Zippel (City of Angels), recalls the composer's Aspects of Love, Phantom of the Opera, and Sunset Boulevard, as well as Victorian-themed shows Sweeney Todd and even The Mystery of Edwin Drood. It has some lovely moments, such as "Trying Not to Notice," "All for Laura," "Evermore without You," and "If Not for Me for Her," though for sheer beauty it's no Light in the Piazza. And as with any ALW nearly through-sung musical, a number of the themes recycle themselves to the point where you'll dread the mere mention of certain characters' names. Friedman and Paice give the strongest performances, while Crawford--in his much-anticipated reunion with Lloyd Webber after Phantom--doesn't have a lot to do other than the muggy showpiece "You Can Get Away with Anything." Note that The Woman in White was recorded before a live audience, but "You Can Get Away with Anything" had to be rerecorded in a studio because it was the only number with an audible audience reaction. Crawford's original live performance, however, is included as a coda at the end of the second disc. It's great to have the complete libretto, except that it specifies scene titles while the CD packaging shows track listings and song titles, which means that figuring out where you are takes some detective work. When The Woman in White opened on Broadway in November 2005, Friedman, Paice, and Angela Christian (Anne Catherick) reprised their roles from the London production, while Michael Ball replaced Crawford. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

Great story.......2007-05-23

I love this story - I really enjoyed reading the book. I enjoyed some parts of this soundtrack more than others - there are a couple of songs I really loved and a few themes that I got really tired of by the end. I was especially disappointed by the change they made to the "secret." In the book, Sir Percival Glyde's secret is something entirely different from what it is in the play - I understand the need to adapt the book to the play - but I was disappointed in this particular change. Overall, I enjoyed hearing the story through music - there are definitely some songs I will enjoy listening to over and over!

Ravishingly beautiful music and a thrilling story.......2006-07-22

The best story ALW has tackled since "Sunset Boulevard" seems to have inspired him to write his best score since then too. After a couple listens I grew to love the soundtrack, and then when I finally saw the show on Broadway in Feb. '06 it cemented my opinion that this is in the Top 5 of all ALW works. A perplexing encounter, a forboding country manor, two whip-smart sisters and their handsome young tutor, conniving villians: the story is dynamite. Two moments in the show never fail to give me goosebumps to this day.

The way they've decided to divide the score on the CD makes it hard to get a sense of the songs. Those looking for radio-ready 3:30 minute numbers will be frustrated. You must let the score unfold. Instead of cutting the score down microscopically like the 45-track CD of "Aspects of Love," they've left it in large passages. Rest assured there are brilliant songs therein. "Perspective," "Trying Not to Notice," "All for Laura," and "Evermore Without You" are among the best. Ironically the weakest song is the one that seems to have been penned with radio airplay in mind: "I Believe My Heart" was recorded by two British popstars and released as a single in 2004, and as ALW songs go it's just...blah. Nothing special. The show's greatest emotions are elsewhere.

I haven't even mentioned the spectacular video-projection sets, which let the story unfold in numerous colorful, dreamlike settings rather than having to take place all in three or four rooms. Each time I listen to the soundtrack I have the pleasure not only of the ravishing music, thrilling story, and clever lyrics but of remembering the unique look of the production on Broadway.

Beware Amazon fraud.......2006-07-03

Despite the line "It's great to have the complete libretto," in the amazon review of this product, there is no libretto... just a reference to a web site that no longer exists. Shame on you Amazon!

Webber's Best Work Since Phantom! The Woman In White Is A WINNER!.......2006-05-09

"The Woman In White" is Andrew Lyodd Webber's best work since "Phantom Of The Opera" and undoubtablely one of the few good shows still on Broadway. The musical is a mystery, thriller, haunting, heartbreaking, and chilling at times. The music is gothic meets Broadway which adds a scary, serene sense to the music... This has to be some of Andrew Lyodd Webber's best score and songs since "Phantom." I was lucky enough to see this show in its Broadway run.

While the show is often forgotten among some other Broadway shows such as "Hairspray" and "The Lion King" it is one you should definately not miss!

The musical is based upon the classic novel of the same name. It takes place in Victorian England and a mystery occurs when a strange woman in white emerges from the fog one night- claiming to have a seceret she can not reveal to anyone. What is so chilling is she resembles a women in town- the mystery between the two women unravels and shows a secret cover-up that can only be solved by a death, mutual deception, and a lover.

The theme that emerges from the music/musical is "I Believe My Heart"- believeing in your heart when common sense tells you not to. The "Finale", "Evermore Without You", and "All For Laura" also manage to stand on their own as well.

Maria Friedman and Adam Brazier do excellent jobs in their roles- and deserve Tony nominations for their wonderful portrayal of their characters and their lovely singing voices. Brazier the male lead- reminded me somewhat of Michael Ball in his earlier days.

All in all this musical made me miss the Broadway dramatic musical... but, it gave me hope that one day Broadway will return to the days of "Les Miserables", and "The Phantom Of The Opera." This is definately a CD I would buy if I was a Broadway musical fan. Thank you MR. WEBBER- for restoring my faith that Broadway can be SAVED from mindless dribble- hit the buy now button and enjoy!

Very Good, but..........2006-03-06

In my own opinion, I thought this was the best show Lloyd Webber has done to date. The music is fantastic, and I thought the story was really captivating. Now as for the cast, there are some things to be said. Maria Friedman is incredible as Marian Holcombe, plain and simple. Jill Paice was an amazing Laura Fairlie, and Angela Christian was a great Anne Catherick. I'm not too big a fan of Martin Crewes as Walter Hartwright, I much prefer Adam Brazier from the Broadway production. Finally, as for Count Fosco, Michael Ball totally blows Michael Crawford out of the water. Crawford's performance seems like he's afraid to play the character, not to mention he's getting a little to old to be prancing about the stage in a fat suit. His voice seems to be fading as well, even though I never thought he was all that great as the Phantom, but he often gets off-tempo in his big songs and just seems like he's playing on the fact that he's Michael Crawford and people will love him for that, rather than fully playing this incredible role. IMO, they should have made a Broadway Cast Recording and not a London Cast Recording.

Karina Gauvin is outstanding!!!!.......2005-12-08

I am an unabashed afficcionado of 17th and 18the century operas by little known composers whose works I happen to run across from time to time. Frankly I was persuaded by the previous review and the price was right. So I bought it. Brother, you haven't heard singing until you have heard Karina Gauvin sing. This lady can sing and then some!!! Conradi was born in 1645, some 40 years before Bach and Handel. He was a contemporary of Biber. This work is very German and in my view not reflective of the music being composed in Italy and France at the same time. It is expertly presented. All the voices and the orchestra and chorus of the Boston Early Music Society under the direction of Paul O'Dette and Stephen Stubbs are superb. But for me the feature is Karina Gauvin. She is an absolute winner.

What a find!!!.......2005-09-20

I was fortunate enough to be in Boston in June 2003 for the modern premiere of this opera.. although I had never heard of Conradi, a musicologist friend of mine urged me to attend.. boy, am I glad.. this is a marvelous opera filled with lush harmonies and beautiful melodies.. at the live performance there was also some great dancing (especially the scissor dancers!) I was thrilled when I heard there was going to be a commercial recording made, and bought it very first chance I had. A must own for any opera lover!

In 1995, on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Palestrina's death, Gimell issued this mid-price collection of four excellent Tallis Scholars recordings of music by their "patron saint" composer (the choir's name notwithstanding). The contents of the set include the Masses Benedicta es, Nigra sum, Nasce la gioja mia, Assumpta est Maria, Sicut lilium, the Missa Brevis, and the legendary "Pope Marcellus" Mass. All of these works are reviewed more fully on pages for the individual discs (enter "Palestrina" and the name of a Mass in the "Keyword Search" line); it suffices to say that Palestrina himself couldn't have asked for a finer tribute. --Matthew Westphal

Customer Reviews:

A sublime expression of faith through music.......1999-01-25

Palestrina's music has a sublimity and intensity that has probably never been surpassed since (although Taverner comes close). The Tallis scholars' recording is a superb presentation of several of Palestrina's, unfortunately, lesser known pieces. I am fortunate to attend a Cathedral where Palestrina - particularly the Missa Brevis - is favoured by the Director of Music. The quality and clarity of this recording is equal to any live performance. An absolute bargain for four hours of unequalled beauty, and not to be passed up.

Excellent, moving and inspiring CD.......1999-01-18

The sonority of the cadences, the mellifluous blending of voices makes this the perfect CD for spiritual guidance. If you find chants enchanting, you'll find this CD unmatched its ability to rush you spectacularly into the presence of the numinous.

Lots of Guitar Music.......2004-02-28

Well if you are a classical guitar student chances are every peice you have played is included in this set. the recording is very nice. the playing is alright. this guy plays kind of sketchy. he's definately no Andres Segovia or Manuel Barrueco, but he is pretty damn good.
