5 out of 5 stars Take a Dip Into The Early 1960s.......2006-05-23

Henry Mancini gave us so much of our consciousness of the 1960s and 1970s, and yet was "out" almost as soon as he was "in."

His work became synonymous with much-despised "elevator music" in the later 1960s. This stereotype (or monotype, for his earliest works) can mislead.

For example, "Lujon" [not in this collection] was used in a movie just last year to exemplify mystery and an exotic atmosphere.

Mancini died way too young. While some would argue that he'd become a self-parody, his innate gifts compromised by relentless commercialization, you cannot take away his lasting gift to our culture. He was an original, and he captured an essence of our collective experience.

He's here in this collection, waiting round the bend, my Huckleberry friend.

5 out of 5 stars The best of the best from the best ..........2006-04-04

Sometimes the cover alone is worth the price, and this one really captures the spirit of the music. It's martini-retro and somewhat self-indulgent, but it's also great music. For all those (like myself) who've fallen in love with chill-out and lounge sounds, this is the real deal.

5 out of 5 stars If you don't have any Mancini, why not?.......2004-07-29

This album is a great survey of Henry Mancini's work. I am only 20 so I didn't get to hear all his hits the first time around and I've really enjoyed listening to this CD. There are a lot of great instrumentals here and some songs have singing as well, of course. This album made me appreciate Henry Mancini's prolific career. I would highly recommend this album.

5 out of 5 stars great set.......2004-05-24

I have not received my cd yet, but I was expecting to receive one with balalaika only, so I am already disappointed. In the samples, the orchestra is so predominate I cannot tell which is the balalaika. Thanks, Violet

5 out of 5 stars From Russia, with Strings.......2004-08-09

The Osipov Russian Folk Orchestra made this fine recording some four decades ago, when the U.S. and the Soviet Union were barely on speaking terms. I imagine that some of the people who bought this record found themselves on FBI or CIA observation lists. Still, it would have been worth it, for the sheer exuberance of the music alone. The performances are bold and exciting, tinged with a hint of danger, and the listener is carried away on a crest of winter sleigh rides through places like Moscow and Vladivostock. Sure, the orchestra was capitalizing on the popularity of Dr. Zhivago, but at least they were able to find an audience. There's a little bit of hiss, given the antiquated recording instruments of the time, but it isn't enough to distract from the music. In fact, it's barely audible. I understand that they have since released a remastered version of the disc, but I'm always suspicious of perfection. One other thing: the cover leads you to believe that this is solely a balalaika show, but that isn't quite the case. There is, in fact, a whole orchestra here, but it is used quite smartly. Those other instruments give the music the air of authenticity, and create a kind of old world mood, but it's the balalaikas that carry the day.

5 out of 5 stars Spectacular.......2004-07-15

This album is not only one of the finest technically, but also musically. It was recorded back in the early sixties with the finest equipment and the finest audio technique ever devised. This has to be one of the most enjoyable listening experiences the listener will ever experience, as is all of the Mercury Living Presence series. We are privilaged to have these great recordings re-made on CD, and this particular one has to be at the top of the list. It will challenge any other recording technique, and it will lift your spirits every time you listen to it!

5 out of 5 stars Nothing beats this for exuberance.......2000-02-06

The sound of massed balalaikas is a real treat, especially when recorded with as much vividness and realism as on this disc. The Osipov Folk Orchestra also consists of bass balalaikas, accordions, flutes, Vladimir Shepherd's Horns, and percussion and they produce quite a kaleidoscope of sound! I particularly enjoy the comedic Vladimir Shepherd's Horns, heard to their most humorous effect in the Tchaikovsky piece, which is guaranteed to make you smile. This recording uncannily conveys the impression of a live event. Of course, the performers deserve most of the credit for this. Their unanimity of attack and sheer exuberance are heartstopping. Even if you think you don't like Russian folk music, give this a try!

5 out of 5 stars Classic Movie Pieces.......2003-10-04

I am a pinaist, and several of thses pieces find themselve in my repertoire, and by hearing them on this cd, one is able to truly appreciate the composition and performance of these songs, which are not very popular nowadays. A great collection that I highly recommend to all musicians and music lovers.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.......2003-02-07

If you like light works for piano and orchestra, this is the BEST I have heard. With the popularity of movie themes in this genre, this CD will not disappoint you. There are some great undiscovered gems on this CD. Every pianist should have this to 'expand their horizons'. Simply the best!

Album Details

Digitally Remastered Double Anthology of the Pop and Soundtrack Composer from the 50's and 60's. Perhaps his Best Counterpart of Today Would Be John Williams. A Film Maker Could Always Rely on Mancini to Deliver a Composition that Hit the Mark for a Film and Conveyed Exactly What was Required and More. He also Filled the Role of an American Mantovani, Recording 'muzak' Versions of Popular Hits. He was Handsome, Personable, but Most of All, Well Respected for his Craft.

3 out of 5 stars not enough Galway.......2003-10-02

There are only four songs with James Galway. The way this recording is presented is misleading and buyers should be aware that this is NOT a joint effort between these two great artists.. I was totally disappointed. I think Henry Mancini is wonderful but was expecting to hear a collaboration. So if you're looking for flute music this isn't it. However it's a great collecton of Henry Mancini's work.

5 out of 5 stars Too Good to Last.......2000-03-03

I heard this on PBS. Galway and Mancini may be two of the most talented musicians of our century. Galway for his complete mastery of the flute and Mancini for his ability to arrange , produce and in this instance direct the orchestra while Galway performs. They do several duets of a comical nature as well. This is important because it is one of Mancini's last efforts prior to his unfortunate passing.

5 out of 5 stars Can I give this one 15 STARS??.......2005-01-30

It is so rare nowadays to hear a CD that is fascinating from beginning to end, that engages the mind and heart as this one does. Though I am sure there are many out there who would consider "A Midsummer Night's Dream" to be one of Shakespeare's lesser plays, the delightful fun and wordplay make it, to me, one of his most whimsical and fanciful creations. And Mendelssohn wrote some of his most whimsical and fanciful music for it.

The problems with its presentation, however, are twofold. First, one must have a conductor who is not afraid to take it at or near score, which means not only swiftly but also light and delicately. To this end I have only heard three recordings that fulfill those requirements, the 1942 Toscanini-Philadelphia version, an old and now-forgotten 1950s recording by the great Paul Kletzki, and this one. Otherwise, you have the music played at the right speed but too heavily (Toscanini-NBC and De Burgos-New Philharmonia), or played too slowly (everyone else).

The second problem is, how much of it do you include so that it will make some "sense"? Quite aside from the full-length pieces that we all enjoy (the overture, You spotted snakes, the Scherzo, Nocturne, Wedding March and Finale), there are so many "little snippets" meant to accompany the spoken drama that simply sound odd and disembodied when presented without text. This is the only recording of the music that I find completely satisfying, as it includes large excerpts of the play as foreground to Mendelssohn's music, as it was intended. I can see where, to some music-lovers, this might seem annoying, but this IS what the composer intended! (I once actually saw a performance of the play with Mendelssohn's music in it, and it was quite delightful. And I still own a copy of the 1935 Max Steiner film which uses a good portion of the Mendelssohn music, along with lesser pieces written by Korngold.)

What we have here, then, is a "concept" CD that works brilliantly. The actors of the Oxford and Cambridge Shakespeare Company are all excellent in their roles (though I am more used to Puck being performed by an adolescent boy, not by an adult actor who sounds like a truck driver!), and to hear the music "in context" provides a theatrical experience similar to listening to a radio play.

I cannot thank Virgin Classics enough for producing this magnificent album. I agree that soprano Kathleen Battle was much finer on the Ozawa set than Rebecca Evans here, but that is a very small caveat...after all, the soprano only gets 2 songs and Evans is by no means terrible, she's just not Battle. (Besides, the conductor on the Battle recording is Ozawa who is just too slow, especially in the Overture and Scherzo, whereas Nelson is just right.) The Ensemble Orchestral de Paris plays superbly (is this a studio-only group? I'm not sure that I know of this orchestra), the chorus is wonderful, and the recorded sound is simply breathtaking. Virgin's engineers have managed to capture, without over-exaggerating, both the spoken and musical aspects of this performance in a completely natural soundstage (oftimes I felt as if I were actually listening to the orchestra live!) without losing the soft, delicate passages or overblasting the loud ones. This is a recording that belongs on the shelf of EVERYONE who likes either Mendelssohn, Shakespeare, or both!!

    4 out of 5 stars Enjoyable - but not beddy-bye music.......2003-06-07

    "Midnight Adagios" advertises itself as featuring "over two-and-a-half hours of the world's most relaxing music" and while it is beautiful music it is not particularly relaxing. The dynamic changes from track to track--something I find in all musical compilations from disparate sources--are too great. I constantly have to fiddle with the volume control when going from track to track. For instance, on CD 2 of this two-CD set, if I get the volume just right for track 1, Bach's "Air on a G String," then track 2 (Debussy's "Clair de Lune") is almost completely inaudible.

    'Adagio' means 'at ease' or 'slow'--somewhere in between 'largo' and 'andante'--but it doesn't necessarily mean 'soft.' There are a few forte movements on both CDs that seem to occur just as I am finally drifting off to sleep. That's why I wouldn't recommend this album to those who are looking for music to lull them to sleep.

    "Cello for Relaxation," "Celtic Lullaby," and "Soothing Harp" are all very soporific CDs if sleep is what you're searching for.

    Other than the above caveats, "Midnight Adagios" is wonderful music to paint by or cook by (when I'm not fiddling with the volume control). There are a total of twenty-nine tracks interpreted by such artists and ensembles as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Pilar Lorengar, Kiri Te Kanawa, The Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, etc. etc.

    CD 1 begins with Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" (how could it not?), the andante movement (oops, what happened to adagio?), and ends with Satie's "Gymnopedie No.1."

    CD2 begins with Bach's "Air on a G String" and ends with Offenbach's "Barcarolle.

    You've probably heard all of the musical offerings before except, perhaps, for the Marcello "Oboe Concerto." So if you can be lulled by the familiar, serene in the knowledge that the music won't send any adrenaline racing through YOUR bloodstream, then maybe you will find "Midnight Adagios" to be a truly relaxing experience.

      Simon Rattle leads the 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic beyond their popular South American Getaway project with this trip north of the border, where they mine the sounds of American jazz, popular song, spirituals, and film themes. The results are varied, and the tracks that work best may surprise you. Chick Corea's "Spain" begins as a moving lament, but unfolds to become sweeping, grand, and celebratory. The Pink Panther theme is a lightweight but fun romp through the familiar tune (the cellists even do a little whistling while they work). Meanwhile, the oddest cut has to be Sergio Cardenas's "The Flower Is a Key (A Rap for Mozart)," on which Sir Simon Rattle himself performs both spoken word and conducting duties (he's far better at conducting). All in all, this is a pleasant, relaxing album of timeless pop favorites. --Jason Verlinde
