Music for Meditation.......2007-01-04

This is a delightful collection of music appropriate to meditative prayer. It is often my prayer companion, and I like the style and performance found on this CD. I highly recommend it to people who enjoy deeper reflection with a wordless musical background.

Be Thou My Vision.......2005-10-19

Track 3, Be Thou My Vision, was a surprise as the song was the final song played at my father's funeral. It set the closing mood most fittingly. While Be Thou My Vision is my favorite the entire collection is wonderfully mellow. I recommend it for for the mellow moods.

Reverent, beautiful.......2003-09-21

After criticizing Windham Hill in the past for often recycling the same songs over and over in various collections, I have to hand it to them with the new "Prayer" CD. It's a fine set of all-new acoustic versions of hymns or spiritual songs, plus a good number of original compositions. Producer Dawn Atkinson has done an excellent job of lining up a bunch of top-drawer people for "Prayer," and in working with the artists on the song selection.

Customer Reviews:

Forget what they SAY.......2003-11-10

Many of these prior reviewers complain that the abundance of operas and vocals degrate this compilation. They don't know what they're talking about. These genres are what made Classical music popular in it's age. In that era the forum for showcasing "classical music" was operas! Hence why most of these works are lost in the shuffle. Most of us know Mozart and Beethoven's compositions by ear but there are so many other great composers that existed and these CD's will show you but a PIECE. But, fair warning, these CD's show only a small fraction of the whole movement (song). If you truly dig the genre you're in for a treat, investigate!

Most Aggravating Album in the World!.......2002-05-26

This CD is the first thing I ever returned to Amazon. It is an inferior product--selections cut off abruptly before the end, volume fades and returns in the middle of a cut...production values are pure schlock here. Maybe I should have expected as much from such a sophomoric title.

A fair introduction to Classical Music.......2001-03-03

I purchased this CD because I am new to Classical Music and thought this would be a good introduction CD. There is some wonderful music on this CD. The only problem I have with this CD is every other track is Opera of one form or another. As a new listener I found that after the Opera tracks I felt I had been yelled at and it was a distraction to the other music contained on the CD. I now know to hit the skip button on my CD player just about every other track. I only gave it 3 stars because I felt put off by the vocal tracks. I believe that when someone is new to Classical Music they do not think of Opera. If you don't mind hitting the skip button a lot or if you like Opera this CD is for you!

Great for Beginners.......2000-07-14

This is a nice recording for folks who don't know much about classical music, and would serve as a wonderful introduction. It covers centuries of great music in a very listener-friendly format. I am sure that I will use this CD in my music classroom. For a seasoned classical music lover, however, the CD proves a bit frustrating, including only segments of masterworks (not even the entire movement of the Holst). I bought the CD for a few recordings, which I truly enjoy and make the CD a worthwile purchase. But I found (and I think that most classical musicians will find) that I already had many of these works in their entirety.

Exellent compilation.......2000-04-12

This is a fine collection of classical songs for those that have little experience with classical music. Howver, I truly love it.

Album Description

Eric Ewazen is known as a mainstream American composer in the tradition of Aaron Copland. On the faculty of the Juilliard School, Ewazen enjoys an international reputation for his very listenable American style. His music for brass instruments is part of the repertoire of every conservatory student in the U.S. and has become part of the fabric of the American concert scene. He performs as pianist on this recording of his music with the great American Brass Quintet, augmented by other artists. The top seven trumpet players in New York City are featured in the Fantasy for Seven Trumpets. This album is already a favorite with conservatory students all over the country.

Ewazen Does it Again!.......2000-04-26

Eric Ewazen has yet again written some wonderful new works for Brass instruments. The Fantasia for Seven Trumpets is played by Raymond Mase and his cohorts. It is full of excitement and is a clinic on precision. The Sonata for Trumpet is perhaps Ewazen's best work. The eloquent second movement is both simple and heart warming. It is premiered here by Chris Gekker who has also premiered several other of Ewazen's works for Trumpet. A Western Fanfare is Ewazen's fourth work for Brass Quintet. Although the frequent listener of these pieces my find this one a continuation of old ideas, it yields some good things. And, if nothing else, the listener is left floored by the American Brass Quintet's masterful playing. For the Brass chamber music fan, this is a must buy.

Experiments in Modern Music.......2002-01-26

This is a great disc that features four chamber pieces by composer Eric Ewazen (Hence that creative title!). First of all let me say that Ewazen is a rising star among composers especially for brass music. Like the liner notes say Ewazen is lucky among composers because he has "An expanding roster of world class musicians who perform his music." True words. To get open the disc the AMAZING American Brass Quintet performs Frost Fire. A piece, which they commissioned for their 30th anniversary. The piece is filled with great rhythmical movement and beautiful melodies. I particularly like the final movement. The American Brass Quintet is hands down the best classical brass quintet in the nation if not the world. Next on the CD is "..to cast a shadow" a very dramatic song cycle with William Sharpe, baritone, Chris Gekker, trumpet and Colette Valentine, piano. The trumpet introduces a lot of the material and is constantly dancing around as a sort of chorus. Chris Gekker is a marvelous trumpet player (who commissioned this work) and William Sharp gives an amazing reading. The piece itself is very sensual and for text uses poetry by Katherine Gekker (Chris Gekker's sister). Quintet for trumpet and strings is another Gekker commission and truly a vehicle for his automatic technique and beautiful phrasing. Finally the Sonata for horn features the composer at the piano and the stunning playing of Scott Brubaker who is simply amazing. The Sonata for Horn I think is a true masterpiece and is gaining wide recognition for a very fine piece. Overall this CD is a must have for fans of Ewazen and/or fans of brass chamber music. Or any music lover. This is beautiful and accessible modern music.

A freshly unique voice in the world of modern music!.......1999-07-01

Eric Ewazen is composer-in-residence with the Orchestra of St. Lukes and a faculty member at The Juilliard School in New York. His music is very popular among brass players and his quickly gaining a large audience in the musical world. This disc contains some of his most brilliant works. The performers on the recording are exceptional. This music is appealing to all listeners and has an excitement and unabashed lyricism which is missing in the music of so many other contemporary composers. Wider recognition is truly deserved for this composer and his wonderful music. This recording deserves a listen!
