CD- "Dinner Classics: THe French Album".......2006-07-03

I have bought 3 of these items, the first was an audio tape from Avon. The 2 CDs I bought from Amazon were bought because I knew how beautiful the music was. One was a gift and the other is for my classroom. They were in perfect condition,the music is incredibly beautiful and I highly recommend it to everyone!

PAR EXCELLANCE!.......2006-03-14

This is one of the best classical cd's for dinner music, relaxing,reading or even just putzing around the house. Elegant, pure classical and beautiful. Fills your home with a higher ambience if you are so mentally inclined. Everyone who hears it wants a copy. This the third one I have owned as I have worn out and given away one. I first purchased this in the early nineties and it still is timeless in it's symphonic artistry.

It will grow on you.......2005-12-11

I didn't know what I was getting when I first purchased this work. Now, I can't imagine being without it. Debussey's Claire De Lune is the best I've heard. This is the same piece that was used on the movie "The Right Stuff". I believe you will enjoy this compilation.

French Essentials.......2001-12-07

Maybe the best compositions of the impressionist epoca.
It includes the best performances of Debussy pieces I've ever listened.

CBS Masterworks French Album.......2001-12-07

This is a great starter CD to buy if you're just beginning to build your classical music collection. It only covers French composers, and the melodies are superb. When I bought this CD I was looking for the Debussy Arabesques, but arranged for an orchestra instead of just for piano. It turnes out THIS was the CD I was searching for without even knowing the title to it! Reason being, a few tracks from this CD is used as background music for a 15 minute presentation of the daily Holy Rosary on EWTN, the Catholic channel. It's the Rosary prayed by what seems to be a 12 year old girl in the middle of a big grass field who starts out praying alone then is joined by several people. The rich melodies complement this presentation very well. No one else has mentioned the fact that in the liner booklet there are several French recipes presented by Martha Stewart! I haven't tried any yet, but they seem easy enough to attempt and enjoy while playing this marvelous CD. I highly suggest purchasing it as a sample of some of the finest French classical pieces ever composed.

Incredible musicianship, beautiful arrangements . . ........2001-01-11

When I first heard this group in the movie, "Brassed Off," my first thought was "Who *ARE* these guys??" My exposure to brass bands had been in high school (some 35 years ago), and more recently in the drum-and-bugle corps competitions televised periodically on PBS. NEITHER of these comes close to the level of technical excellence and incredible musicianship evidenced by the Grimethorpe Colliery band.

This particular CD, a collection of musical gems by French composers, includes only two pieces originally written for brass band (and one of those is a "fantasy" on melodies by Offenbach). All other tracks are transcriptions/arrangements of French pieces from piano and orchestral/opera literature.

I can find no weaknesses in this offering. Every track is beautifully played. The arrangements are amazing. They maintain the feeling and style of the original work, yet play up the band's strengths.

One thing that has always impressed me about Grimethorpe is their dynamic control, and this disc doesn't disappoint. Listen to the beautiful duet from Bizet's "The Pearlfishers," arguably one of the most beautiful duets written for two male voices. Alan Fernie's arrangement captures all the subtlety of the original, and the solo playing of Mike Kilroy (euphonium) and Jonathan Beatty (trombone) convey the pure emotion of the original solo tenor and baritone voices.

There's a particular style involved in playing/singing French music, especially music of the late 19th / early 20th century. It requires a delicacy, a "light touch," and yes, careful dynamic control. The selections on this CD demonstrate clearly that Grimethorpe has mastered these stylistic requirements. The three selections from the Debussy "Petite Suite" are shining examples of this, as is the Faure' Berceuse from "Dolly Suite."

If you want to hear a brass band playing something besides marches and "pop" tunes, check out this CD. I used to be a purist when it came to this kind of thing -- I used to believe that no transcription or arrangement would ever do justice to the original -- but I was wrong. Thank you, Grimethorpe, for widening my horizons!
