Aviary

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
A closely guarded secret is about to take wing for a second time. Of all the great Pomp Progressive bands, perhaps none can rival Aviary. The vocal majesty of Queen combines with the musical prowess of Yes, one listen to the Aviary album proves that they do not make them like this anymore and that music is unspeakably worse for that. After 20 years, a very special record is finally making its first Cd appearance. Includes complete 'Aviary Story' with band interviews and rare photos. 9 tracks. Standard jewel case. 2001 release.

Children's Favorites a solid purchase.......2006-03-09

The perfect package.......2005-10-23

A Wonderful Introduction to the Classics.......2003-03-11

This disc is far superior than most other "Classics for Kids"-type recordings I've sampled for a number of reasons:

1) This album was expertly engineered. The production quality on this disc is first-rate from start to finish with crisp, clear sound.

2) The pieces were expertly picked. There is wonderful sonic variety here, spanning hundreds of years of wonderful melodies. There are orchestral pieces, harpsichord pieces, solo piano, and a piano concerto, capped off with Saint-Seans whimsical Carnival of the Animals. What kid (or adult) wouldn't love that?

3) The performances are, without exeption, expert! The pieces were definately screened for quality as well as content. Many are simply a joy to behold. Walter Klein is a particular stand-out, almost giddily prancing through Schumann's pieces. Believe it or not, he sounds even more impressive when backed up by the always inspiring Minnesota Orchestra on Mozart's Piano Concerto #17.

In short, this album is a great album even before you factor in the great price. You and your children are almost guaranteed to enjoy every 6-cents worth!

Customer Reviews:

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Average customer rating: Interesting Mix, but not for serious classical music listeners a must have flute cd takes you to another place and time!

Exciting performance.......2007-04-16

A no - brainer.......2002-04-16

Great Fun.......2001-11-22

Beautiful music, but too much narrative........2000-09-03

Odgen Nash's verses, written to accompany Saint-Saen's work are too clever for young children, who will miss out on the word-play and puns. Also, they tend to interpret the experience too much, which interferes with their imaginations. If a child prefers to make-belief in dragons, for example, as opposed to lions, then there is all of Hugh Down's recitations to sit through and ignore first, since the tracks do not separate the narrative from the music.

Nonetheless, this is one of the better classical recordings I've heard geared specifically for children.

Not P.D.Q. Bach, but not bad either.......2007-03-25

execrable.......2006-08-12

Thanks for prompt replacement of this stolen item!.......2005-10-07

Joyful performance.......2003-11-06

Carnival des Animaux does not wear Schickele's silliness quite as well, suffering from bad puns and failed tricks. Still, compared to some narrators I've heard Schickele is mildly distracting rather than plain awful. More importantly, the orchestra plays with an exuberant joy which actually makes this one of the better recordings I've heard. It's by no means a subtle performance - but I believe that that would also miss the point in a piece that's traditionally considered "Classical music for young children". The same is true for Peter and the Wolf - this recording can't be beat for simple joy in music! (Although Prokofiev's music is complex enough to benefit from a more dynamically varied performance.)

Try to find "Schickele Mix" on your local radio station! Peter Schickele is not only very funny, he has a deep understanding of music and performance.

A brilliant "humor break".......2003-02-04

Do not be misled into thinking that this is suitable for the same audiences as the original, however. Whereas Prokofiev's original story was equally suited to adults and very young children through its simultaneous wit and simplicity, Schickele's version is clearly aimed at a more adult audience.

Schickele's version of "Carnival of the Animals," while delightful, is slightly less successful. Ironically, the liner notes say that the original idea for the recording came from a belief that Ogden Nash's poetry needed some updating. Nash's version has a certain timeless, artistic quality that is lacking here. While Schickele is a great humorist, this rendition resorts to really, really "bad" puns and lacks Nash's artistry. Still it is quite funny and, most of all, "cute."

I must say that in order for "Carnival of the Animals" to be realized to its fullest potential, the interruptions should be as brief as possible. With the excessive length of some of the narration, certain things in the music that usually lend significant additional wit and overall coherence are completely lost in this recording. I would recommend making an extra effort to concentrate on what happened at the end of each previous movement; however, one is unlikely to want to have to "work" so hard when listening to such a lighthearted recording.

Nevertheless, the playing is quite good, and I find myself listening to this recording of the Carnival, despite its flaws, when I need a good "humor break."
