good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

TV Theme Songs.......2007-01-13

This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.

TV themes.......2006-07-05

Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.

Deja Vu.......2006-02-17

Listening to these familiar themes as performed by the original artists certainly brings back wonderful memories! I was particularly pleased, not only with the quality of the pieces, but with the actual performances themselves, just as we remembered them!

Pierre Boulez's Complete Webern Edition appears just over two decades after his last traversal. Well, it's not literally complete, but does have enough early works to set the mature ones in the right context. These days, Webern is no longer seen so much as a new music guru as he is a major composer, pure and simple--his expression as concise as it is intense. Performancewise, there's a quality of musicianship here that few previous recordings have matched; familiarity with the idiom certainly plays its part, but so does Boulez's belief that what we're hearing needs to be presented with conviction. Try the Passacaglia, sensuous music that combines the soundworld of Brahms and Mahler, or the string quartet or orchestra pieces--miniatures in duration, but whole dramas of expression.

Ease of performance doesn't always make this music easy to come to grips with: the song cycles need several listenings to grasp the meaning behind the compression, while the later instrumental and choral works have a luminous austerity that looks back to Bach and beyond to Renaissance masters such as Schütz and Isaac. While much of Webern's music has long been admired, only now is it becoming possible to respond to it through the heart as well as the brain. This set, superbly packaged and comprehensively documented, marks a major step forward, and deserves investigating by anyone keen to appreciate something of the music's quiet, calm essence in an often strident, dislocated century. --Richard Whitehouse

Customer Reviews:

Thank You Boulez.......2001-10-23

If you are a fan of the "New Vienna School" (Schoenberg, Berg, Webern) or 20th century "classical" or "serious" music, this disk set is very rewarding. Beautifully recorded and packaged, and with equally good liner notes, it is a treat to strap on the headphones and listen.

I debated between buying this or Boulez's older Webern set and went with this one. There is much more music on this set because pieces without opus numbers are included. They lend a lot of insight into his "published" works. I also went with this set because it is a modern digital recording, the previous set being from the early 70's. I will often side with a classic recording when needed-performance over sound. Here, I'm happy to report, the listener gets both. Every detail is captured.

Thank you very much Pierre Boulez and DG for making this project happen. Please keep the Schoenberg and Berg disks coming. And thank you Anton Webern for continually opening my ears.

5 Star music. Some very good performances, some are aimless........2001-08-25

Webern's music demonstrates a level of craft, in which few composers ever contend. The more that I listen to the works of Webern, the more I hear that each note must be just as it is. There is nothing wasted in this music. The expression is never vague, always intense. I do admire the works of many modern composers, but few are so discerning and meticulous in their works. Webern's craft is equal with the greats of music history; Guillarme de Machaut, Carlo Gesualdo, Claudio Monteverdi, J.S. Bach, Franz Joseph Haydn, Ludwig Beethoven. He is a towering figure. The music that is played here is first rate. However, I have not yet heard performances of many of his works that bring out everything that Webern's music has to offer. For example, the Op. 27 Piano Variations are seldom done justice. All of the movements are given `circa' tempo indications, but many take the movements much slower or faster than indicated. Unfortunately, on this recording the fast movement is slow and the slow movements fast. Presumably the slower tempo in the fast movement would allow for more accurate interpretation of the frequent changes between piano and forte. The problem is that the F's typically don't fade away fast enough and drown out the P's. The other option is to make the P's a little bit more like mezzo forte's. The recording that Pollini did of the work on Deutsche Gramaphon with the Boulez 2nd Sonata manages to reconcile the dynamics with the tempo. However, what I have not heard with the work is the full impact of the affect in the work. What the Pollini performance fails in is the coldness of the interpretation. For those interested, I believe that DG is currently putting out the Pollini performance with Stravinsky's Petruska and a Prokofiev sonata at a fairly low price. This recording brings together several performances of more `high profile' ensembles than the older recording on Sony, which mostly featured performances of musicians from Juilliard. The performances are often more colorful, but I can't say that I always think they surpass their predecessors. The interpretations of the works are a little bit `hit and miss.' The ensembles that Boulez conducts tend to bring out the same sorts of things in the works that the previous ensembles did with the last `complete Webern.' This is good in places; I appreciate the more resonant quality that the recent recording equipment affords, and Boulez conducts a comparable performance of the orchestral works such as the `Symphonie.' The recording of the `Konzert' for nine instruments is good. The performances of the early expressionist works, such as the `Five Orchestral Pieces,' are powerful. Boulez is less afraid to see the human in Webern and let the shocked silences speak. Furthermore, the peaks are less harsh, allowing more of the subtle affects to become visible. Some of the performances just lack a certain power of expression that the previous `complete webern' had; a viscerally that the strength of the `Webern - Vogue' afforded them. The musicians that played the previous complete were looking at Webern as a giant, they are young and virile performances. These performances sometimes view Webern as a curiosity, a historical anachronism, the way that your grandfather will tell you a strange story, of which he himself doesn't understand the point, but he relates as a bit of curio. All in all, I wouldn't say that this set of recordings is the final word on the majority of Webern's works. Many of the performances in the previous set are just as good, but neither do those constantly surpass these performances. Both have their faults. The previous set tended to be cold and more aggressive than was necessary in places. The new set tends to wander at times, as if the performer does not understand the point. It's always difficult to sum up a complete works set for a prospective buyer. Just as in `complete works' of Bach sets that I own, the performances are not always amazing. However, the strength of the compositions often overcomes my desire for a strong performance, and I'm just glad that I have a recording of someone performing that Bach work that I want to hear. Here, similarly, the performances aren't always the best, but there is a wider range of Webern's ouvre represented and many of the performances are quite good. I suppose my counsel would be that one should consider the price of this set vs. the older sony set. The sony set is less complete, but it does include all of the really monolithic, profound Webern works. You also get a view of the younger, romantic Webern in this new set, in addition to better sound quality. Certain performances are better in each set, and so you'll get some good and some bad in either choice. For those that already have a strong taste for Webern's music, try this set. For those who are looking for a starting place, you might try the sony set. The highlights of this set are the Boulez orchestral performances. He has honed his vision for Webern since the last set and they are `worth the price.' For those further exploring Webern, those performances should be heard.

not much more to be said.......2001-08-01

... i could be extremely nit-picky, and complain about the solo piano pieces, and their performer's occasional humming, and the baffling ordering of the quartet disc, and the discrepencies in the translations of the booklet, and how the english left out any explanation of sator arepo etc..., yet the french seems to, and all the little tiny errors, in the booklet... but... these are all moot points when any of the performances are heard. it brings to light all facets of the composer, so he no longer seems ascetic and overly intellectual, just check out the highly romantic string quartet op. 28, and variations for orchestra, yes even the solo piano pieces with the humming. all in all, a very enlightening experience.

a transcendent masterpiece.......2000-07-17

The performances here are absolutely brilliant.

Nuance, detail, sensitivity.

This is not merely music, this is magic!

Five stars and a bullet.......2000-06-13

Pierre Boulez, the enfant not-very-terrible-any-more of French music, has surpassed himself. Twenty-two years ago, CBS released his Complete Works of Anton Webern, and it's remained the definitive Webern collection. Until, as they say in movie trailers, now.

This consists of the three Webern albums Boulez has recorded for DG over the past five years or so, plus everything else Webern ever wrote. It thus scores straightaway over the earlier CBS/Sony set, which was restricted to works that had opus numbers and filled three CDs. This one includes the charming early songs, the equally early "Im Sommerwind" for orchestra and a number of posthumous and otherwise non-Opus works that didn't make it onto the earlier set. Webern is a composer whose entire output takes about six hours to listen to in its entirety, and it's all here, on six CDs.

That's fine; is it any good? Well, it's digitally recorded, and if ever a composer was born for CD, it's Webern. The pianissimos are more ppp than ever, thanks to better recording techniques. Boulez himself has also unbuttoned a bit. His earlier set, recorded between 1967 and 1972, was high on austerity and, if it fell down at all, did so on emotion. The older Boulez (he's 75 this year) is more relaxed about letting tuttis blare and climaxes, well, climax. The result is both as intellectually satisfying as we've come to expect from Boulez, and warmly expressive; in general, a more moving and less didactic set of recordings than the previous lot. And all the better for it, as far as this composer (and this listener) is concerned.

There are many benefits of a digital set, not the least being the better registration of timbral variety, which Webern (as is well known) made into a compositional principle. Even those allergic to twelve-tone music can't help but be ravished by the intricate sweetness of his arrangement of the Bach six-part fugue from the "Musical Offering". The arrangement of Schubert's German Dances has been re-recorded, and can be heard now in all its sprightliness. (The CBS/Sony set has an archive recording conducted by Webern himself in the thirties, but dodgy sound quality prevented it from shining forth properly, despite Webern's witty conducting.)

An extraordinary surprise!.......2000-07-27

I am a physician, who in the process of making rounds on the Alzhemiers unit of a nursing home, was stopped in my tracks by the sound of beautiful music coming from the room of an elderly woman with a history of severe depression. Beethoven's Pathetique, in all is melancholic beauty saturated the room with meaning, very sensitively interpreted for strings which lent a gentleness to the work without sacrificing passion. She invited me to sit and listen, which I did. It made a wonderful beginning of my day. I plan to use this in my office in the expectation of similar calming effects on my patients. What a lucky find, and an absolute steal at this price.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-02-09

The earliest examples of the German Baroque solo song are to be found in a collection by Johann Nauwach as early as l627. Nauwach was the first to venture into the continuo accompanied solo song. It seems perfectly natural for a German singer to put out a recording of some of these songs. And it is a great disc! I think Scholl is in his element when he sings these German songs for it should be a person who knows every meaning of every word he sings so that every nuance is automatically built into each word. They include all the human emotions that one experiences in a lifetime. I particularly enjoyed : "The Rhenish Wine dances so merrily" and "The Art of Kissing". The accompanying booklet includes all the translations and once you have followed them you need not look again for Scholl's interpretations will cue you into the correct understanding.

Significant service to Baroque music.......2000-12-16

The tracks on this CD convey many different moods, from the passionate young suitor to the old, melancholy man; from a drinking song to a cheeky treatise on kissing; from the mournful to the magical. Some of the composers and most of the songs were unknown to most people until Scholl recorded this CD and he has done Baroque music excellent service by doing so. The recording quality is typically Harmonia Mundi, excellent throughout: expertly close-miked to convey the Scholl voice without being too close. Andreas Scholl's tone is as pure as ever on every track, his diction famously clear and his expression excellent. The lute song An der Eisamkeit (Solitude) is particularly affecting and reminiscent of Dowland's sad songs. For Scholl fans, even those whose German is shaky or non-existent, this is a must - Scholl full-on. For countertenor fans, a revelation of some delightful elements of the early German CT repertoire - a significant discovery. One of my very favourite Scholl CDs.

Very polished.......1999-05-09

Andreas Scholl is really inimitable - in a very peculiar way. To my ears, his pure voice is so perfect that it is faceless. Nobody else is like that. Scholl's hallmark is lack of any hallmarks. Scholl sounds technically superb, but somehow I can never finish the entire disc in one sitting: my mind drifts off. Maybe it's I who's peculiar, although I can think of a good half dozen countertenors who don't put me to sleep. But I won't bore you with their names.

Hagen's Humble eloquence.......2003-09-26

Baritone John Koch makes a strong case for Daron Hagen's elegant settings of a variety of poets, as well as two of the composer's own translations of Verlaine and Baudelaire. What is particularly striking about Hagen's piece is that it conceals its craftsmanship so well: never does the voice have to fight to be heard over the large assemblage of winds, brass, and percussion. And the seeming casual effortlessness of his text setting is already well-known to singers. The best thing about both the Maslanka and the Hagen is the true songfulness of the melodies. Hagen, especially, writes some of the loveliest art songs in print -- and there are so many of them!

The Maslanka Will Beguile You.......2003-08-28

This CD is performed by musicians--students and faculty alike--from Illinois State University, Normal, Illinois. Listening to releases featuring university musicians can be a chancy business, but recently I've heard a number of CDs that convince me that instrumental playing in American universities is in a golden age. And that certainly seems to be the case here.

I am fond of the music of David Maslanka (b. 1943), having heard mostly wind music written by him. Indeed, I think his music has become quite popular among brass and wind players. The main attraction here, the instrumental collection called 'Song Book' (2001), is for solo flute and wind band. The flutist, ISU professor Kimberly McCoul Risinger, is superb. Her playing is gorgeous-toned, subtle and moving as is that of the Illinois State University Wind Symphony Chamber Winds. The 50-minute suite consists of five similarly orchestrated pieces that weave reminiscences of three of Maslanka's favorite Bach chorales throughout. The overall tone is gentle, personal, meditative, private. And although there are some reminiscences at times of the chugging arpeggiated style of Philip Glass, on the whole the main features here are expert orchestration, ravishing melodies, and formal coherence. When the last piece ends with a spare reorchestration of Bach's 'O Gott, du frommer Gott,' the listener experiences a sudden exhilarating sense that this was where it was all heading. I wouldn't be surprised if this collection becomes very popular among flutists and wind band conductors. It must be rewarding to play and it is extraordinarily beautiful to hear.

The second of the 'Song Books,' (as this CD is titled), is 'The Heart of the Stranger,' a 16-minute collection of ten very brief 'real', i.e. vocal, songs for baritone and orchestral winds by Daron Hagen set to texts by such disparate poets as Andrei Codrescu, Baudelaire, Verlaine, William Blake, Keats, Whitman, Housman, Theodore Roethke, Kim Roberts and Gwen Hagen. The accompanimental group of instruments varies from song to song. Baritone John Koch does a good job of projecting the words and has a striking voice. This said, this group of songs did not particularly move me. The settings are expert but the melodies are undistinguished.

I have noticed recently that the proofreading in Albany Records's booklets often leave something to be desired. Most glaring here is the misspelling, in a large-type heading, no less, of Daron Hagen's name. There was also a glaring mis-capitalization of the title of one of the Bach chorales. Heads up, Albany!

I strongly recommend this release for the lovely music contained in Maslanka's 'Song Book' and for the expert musicianship of all concerned, under Director of ISU Bands, Stephen K. Steele.

Holy Thursday.......2003-04-19

I bought this CD so that I could hear the composer accompany his song "Holy Thursday," which has been making the rounds the past few years among singers. I wasn't disappointed by the performance -- Kreider "lets it all hang out" and Hagen is right there, supporting him. It is a pretty nervy disc, both from the perspective of the performance and the material.

Equal Parts Bernstein, Barber, Wilder = Hagen.......2003-01-17

I am new to Hagen's music and I am surprised to find that I really love many of the songs on this CD. He definitely has his own style, but that style ends up sounding like a cross between the composers above and something very different -- probably the fact that he is a gen x'er who grew up in the 70's. I strongly recommend this CD and Hagen's songs to anyone who loves beautiful vocal music set to texts of high literary quality.

Hear the composer play!.......2002-12-23

Kreider is an old friend of Hagen's, and it is a pleasure to hear Hagen accompany him in these songs. Imagine what it would be like to hear Barber accompany his own songs, and you get an idea of what this CD is about. A real treat!
