The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09

Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.

Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02

Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.

A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06

John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.

There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.

Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11

Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.

" one of cinema's greatest composers...John Barry".......2001-07-06

This collection of four compact discs...are worth their weight in GOLD! Barry creates visual moods for each film he scores...romantic, sentimental, action, adventure, suspense and mystery...the list could go on. Strings, brass and lush-velvet arrangements overlay each cue in his distinctive style of legendary scoring...we have ~ "John Barry:The Collection", Silva Screen's release traces 40 years of film music, featuring "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" ~ conducted by Mr. Nic Raine (outstanding)..."Crouch End Festival Chorus" ~ David Temple, Choir Master...perform 56 selections, over four hours of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!

Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Nic Raine (conductor, arranger, orchestrator & associate producer), a tremen!dous asset to every project he undertakes...and the man who made it all possible...a legendary icon always leading the way in film scoring ~ JOHN BARRY!

Strauss without the bombast.......2006-01-06

This disc has been enthusiastically reviewed by several serious Amazon reviewers, so I just want to make a few additional comments that may be helpful. I think it's fair to describe the music as lush and richly orchestrated, and compare it to Strauss and, to some extent Debussy and Bax. Two points, though, one positive and one (slightly) negative: (1) Marx, as interpreted by Sloane at least, is not as intense or as given to bombast as Strauss (or Bax). An hour with this CD is not going to get your blood pressure up--in fact, with any luck, you'll more likely be carried away into a fin de siecle Viennese dream of luxury, more like Korngold or Strauss in their more sensual moments. I really enjoyed that, and have spent a fair bit of time with this disc as a result. That having been said, (2) I don't get the sense that we're dealing with a truly great composer of deeply affecting and memorable music here. At least for me, the music doesn't really stay with me the way Debussy, Strauss, and even Bax (on his good days) did when I first heard those composers. In part, that may be Sloane's doing. He obtains a relatively voluptuous sound (in conjunction with some good engineers) from what sounds like a medium-sized orchestra, but it's not Berlin or Vienna or even Dresden. And my sense is (though I don't have the scores or alternative performances to be certain) that Sloane tends to be relatively relaxed on the rhythmic side, such that the architecture of the pieces may not be as clear as it could be.

None of that stops me from giving this 5 stars, but it does cause me to be interested in hearing alternative performances. I would add, too, that, of the ASV releases in what I gather is an on-going series of Marx explorations, I'd start with this one. And I wouldn't hesitate to jump in, if the various descriptions sound the least bit tempting.

Simply gorgeous music.......2004-05-18

The reviewers below have said pretty much all one needs for a recommendation. The music is incredibly effusive, involving and technically superb. Marx, like Strauss, Korngold and others, is a very self-referential composer. A motive that is heard in all three movements of the Natur-Trilogie actually originates in the opening of Marx' 1st violin sonata, used again in his 1st String Quartet (Quartetto Chromatico), and subsequently appears in virtually all of his orchestral music. I don't know the significance specifically, but it must have meant something strongly autobiographical to Marx, much like Korngold's rising fourths "Motiv des Frohlichen Herzens" did for him.

Overall, Marx' music, while sharing some influences and stylistic similarities with Franz Schreker, is more pantheistic and reverent of nature, where Schreker is very much attendant to psychological concerns, particularly those leaning toward the neurotic.

There's nothing decadent about music this beautiful. I'm amazed anyone could turn up their nose at this stuff when Marx was living. Buy it. You just can't go wrong.

Absolutely First-Rate Austrian Romantic Impressionism.......2003-09-19

In the past few days I've been listening, quite by chance, to works by two Austrian contemporaries--Alban Berg (b. 1885) and Joseph Marx (b. 1882)--whose approach to music couldn't be more different. And I'm loving it all. I'll be writing a review of the other recording--Berg's 'Wozzeck' in English--shortly. But this review is about what amounts to a major discovery for me. I'd vaguely heard the name 'Joseph Marx' in the past but I don't think I'd ever heard a note of his music. He was known primarily in his day as a song-writer, most of which were written before he was thirty, and as a hugely talented, kind, generous teacher in Vienna; it is reported that he gave composition lessons for free to needy students. Unlike some composers who are unknown in their lifetimes but discovered only long after their deaths, Marx was well-known--at least in Germanic countries--before his death in 1964. He was privately supportive to musicians threatened by the oppressive tactics of the Third Reich and after the War made efforts to get their music performed again in Austria and Germany. After his death he and his music were quickly forgotten.

During his lifetime he was an intransigent critic of the Second Viennese School (i.e. Schönberg, Berg, Webern et al.) and probably made some enemies as a result. His musical sound-world remained resolutely romantic although it is clear from the music at hand that he was smitten with the emerging impressionism coming from France.

The work recorded here never really had a full performance even in Marx's lifetime; it was severely cut, or parts of the trilogy were played separately. This recording is reportedly the first time it has been heard in its original form. And what a piece it is; I listened to it three times in row, so transfixed I was barely able to breathe

One hears echoes of a number of other composers in Marx's style, although the totality is uniquely his own. It's as if an English pastoralist (Bax, Delius) with Mahlerian melodic ability had strengthened his backbone with Germanic contrapuntal technique (Schmidt, Reger), and added a soupçon of Italian pictorial orchestration (Respighi, Casella) resulting in lushly romantic yet impressionistic sweep.

The 'Nature Trilogy' comprises 'Symphonic Night Music' (about 16 minutes long), 'Idyll' (15 mins.), and 'Spring Music' (23 mins.). It was composed in the early 1920s, primarily during summers when Marx repaired to the countryside near his hometown of Graz, and where he often met with his buddies Franz Schmidt, Leopold Godowsky and Franz Schreker, along with other less familiar composers like Wilhelm Kienzl [now there's a composer who is due for thorough reinvestigation!] and Anton Wildgans.

The first movement is a nocturne, subtitled 'Mondnacht' ('Night of the Moon') and depicts a moonlit garden in which two lovers spend a rapturous night. They dance to a sensuous slow waltz in the middle part of the movement before the movement ends in shimmering ecstasy.

The 'Idyll' is an homage to Debussy's 'Afternoon of a Faun.' It begins with a medievalized deconstruction of the famous flute solo that begins Debussy's piece, but this time with a solo clarinet. It, like the first movement, is mostly slow music but this time in the soft light of a misty day. A distant cuckoo is heard, almost as if in a dream.

'Spring Music' depicts the world's reawakening after the winter's freeze. Rivulets form brooks, leaf- and flower-buds swell and unfold, the sun shines brightly, birds sing. The world exults. Momentarily the moonlight of the first movement and the idyll of the second are recalled.

The Bochum Symphony Orchestra is led by American-Israeli conductor Steven Sloane. (I had to look up the location of Bochum which, I blush to admit, I'd never heard of, and find that it is a city of half a million in the North Rhine Westphalian region that includes Essen, Dortmund, Dusseldorf and Cologne. On the evidence of this recording I'd warrant that it is a major orchestra without a single weakness that I can detect. Forty-five year old Sloane, a native of Los Angeles but long resident in Israel, has been the orchestra's conductor for ten years and has recently been named music director of the American Composer's Orchestra in New York. He is someone to watch.

I give this CD my highest recommendation. On the strength of this music I have ordered CDs of his first piano concerto (with Marc-André Hamelin) and of his three string quartets. I am gratefully beholden to the exceptionally useful booklet notes written by Berkant Haydin and Martin Rucker, included with this ASV release.

An Orchestral Gem.......2003-08-02

Joseph Marx is an Austrian composer whose work seems to be not so much influenced by an Germanic/Austrian lineage as it approximates French impressionist tendencies. If there is any listener out there who likes the music of, let's say Debussy, Bax,Vaino Raitio or Scriabin, should like this work. The music is full of orchestral, harmonic color and is quite sensuous. I am reminded of some representative English "pastoral" moods when I listen to this nature orieted orchestral poetry. Recomended for those who like 'sensuosity" and color in music.

The culmination of romantic impressionism.......2003-06-09

Natur-Trilogie (Nature Trilogy) for large orchestra, written 1922-25

1. Symphonic Night Music
2. Idyll
3. Music
Total time: 64'19

Not quite as resonant or opulent as the monumental earlier Autumn Symphony ("Herbstsymphonie", 1921), the Natur-Trilogie is a richly-coloured work brimming with romantic, lyrical passion, and yet deeply indebted to Impressionism. The thematic development testifies to the spiritual oneness-with-nature of the composer who was able to translate the inspiring moods of the untouched landscapes of his homeland in a magnificent way. In questions of harmony and orchestration, it is the work of a true magician of sound, fascinating in its perfect polyphony and its supple modern counterpoint. All these strengths merge into a highly individual, unmistakable style and emphasise Marx's deserved fame as a `master of melodious sound'.

It's about time we whales get our own music. Sure we lack the buying power of humans but is that any reason to ignore us? More whale music!

excellent!.......2003-12-15

I had been looking for a pure whale cd off and on for awhile and came across this one. As others have noted, this is just the whales and the ocean, and their songs are indeed beautiful songs - its nice to hear them without any embellishments. They have so many different sounds that they make.

A classic recording.......2003-09-09

Comments are worthless. A pure recording of whale sounds ... no additives, and some treatmens (when they exist) are clearly defined ... It would be great if there were many recordings like this ...

A must for a whale enthusiasts.......2001-09-17

I fully recommend this CD. It contains whale songs only!! No human additives. Only whales and the ocean ... Amazing.

Impressive live performances given with the Queen present.......2002-08-08

It is very nice to hear Britten's work as a performer. He was such an impressive composer that we often forget how compelling he was as an interpreter and conductor or works other than his own.

These performances were given for the dedication of concert halls and Queen Elizabeth II attended both performances with the performance of Britten's own works being given at the Queen Elizabeth concert hall on the South Bank.

The Handel performance is, since it was 1967 after all, not according to modern tastes of period instruments and performance practice. But it is a fine performance nonetheless. We should enjoy the artistry and remember how people used to perform this music and make it work. It is hard to believe that THIS is the exotic sound now. Handel's composition for St. Cecilia's Day - the patron saint of musicians and a tradition that started a couple of decades earlier, is a wonderful piece and in the tradition of Purcell's accomplishments for this day.

However, Britten conducting his own music is even more compelling. The "Choral Dances from 'Gloriana'" are exciting and the performance has that wonderful quality of all the resouces perfectly matching the musical requirements. All the resources and performance methods are absolutely right on for what the music asks for. It is an interesting study in performance practices if for nothing else.

To our ears the Handel performance seems to have things a bit grafted on, but still wonderful, while the Britten (conducted by Britten) seems perfectly matched in all aspects. It sounds compelling.

This is a good disk and deserves careful listening.

Some of the best whale song ever captured.......2000-12-01

I recently purchased a number of whale song CDs including this one, and found this particular recording to far outshine any of the others I picked up. The clarity and vibrance of the audio surpasses the usual, under-water tone, that sort of murky quality the sound seems to have.

Beyond the sound quality though is some of the more amazing music ever captured. Whales change ther songs each season, and this particular snapshot captures the haunting beauty that will never be heard under the waves again.

Fine recordings of classic whale songs.......1999-10-01

I bought this recording after I heard Paul Winter's "Whales Alive" CD that included whale songs used in the movie Star Trek IV. "Songs of the Humpback Whale" is amazing because the sounds of the whales are amazing. Some of the tracks have a lot of deep bass noises. All of the whale songs are complex and varied. The liner notes are well written and explain some of the sounds the recording captured besides whale song. This is a good recording of songs from the largest creatures on earth. There is another release of Roger Payne's whale recordings called "Deep Voices" which is also very good. "A portion of the royalties will be shared with the Wildlife Conservation Society to benefit the work of the Whale Conservation Institute."
