Great sounds!.......2006-06-16

Take 9 arrangement choices are boring.

Its alright.......2005-12-15

This CD has some really beautiful playing, but a lot of the selections are cheesy. i.e. Titanic. They might as well have hired Celine Dion to sing along with them. And although there are some real "wow" moments like when you listen to Caravan for the first time, (The lead horns sound like the trumpet section in a jazz band), overall, the Cd isn't that exciting to listen to more than once. On the other hand, Take 9 is a CD featuring the American Horn Quartet & The Horns of the NY Philharmonic. Not only do they kill the Londoners with their technique and intonation, but the repertoire better suits the medium than lame pop fantasies. Of note is the orchestral transcription of Overture to Candide. I say transcription because yes, they even play the flute and clarinet solos in the correct octave. TAKE 9 Check it out!

absolutely Inspirational.......2005-10-11

This is THE CD I listen to on the way to rehearsal. It truly inspires me to do my absolute best! You've got to love Roman Carnival - so excellent! I would recommend this CD to anyone, especially horn and brass players. These performers are just phenomenal. What else is there to say?

Heaven on Earth.......2005-08-02

This CD is incredible. The horn is shown for all it is worth. From the beauty of the "Titanic" Fantasy and Hansel and Gretel to the latin Tico-Tico, jazz of Ellington in Caravan and the incredible rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, the horn proves it is not as limited an instrument as some may think. Both the high and low ends of the horn are highlighted. Simply heavenly. If you like horn playing at all or even if you don't, you will want to give this CD a listen. It is well worth your time and money.

A fun and inspirational listen.......2005-05-06

I love this CD. In addition to showing off some of the finest horn playing I've ever heard, there's something here for every musical taste. My favorite track is without question the Titanic Fantasy...I'm a French horn major at the moment, and whenever I really, really don't want to practice, I pull out this CD and listen to that song. It gets me up and going nine times out of ten. It's worth listening to just to hear that final high D...absolutely heavenly!

Beautiful Playing.......2005-05-06

This pianist plays so beautifully that I cannot recommend this album highly enough. I wish I could give it a 10. I had never heard of this pianist before; the CD was in a collection owned by a friend. I have heard most of these played by some very famous pianists but never played with such musical sensitivity and maturity as this man plays. This is how music should be played. A most wonderful album that has now become a favorite. I don't think anyone can play these better. It's too bad the title of this CD makes it sound like some bargain-basement trash. This is an absolute classic of pianism and is excellently recorded.
