A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

5 STARS AND THEN SOME !!.......2006-02-10

Oh Julie, the songs you sang on this CD are superb. I wish you could still give us that joy. If you can only sing in the low registers, give us jazz!! You can do it I just know you can!!

Pretty Sad, .......2005-10-27

Hollywood veteran Julie Andrews has had a glorious career, but not without its downsides. Her legend is built on "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins" and other glorious roles. Her abilities as a singer were never impressive or great, her voice often sounded weak, but she always knew how to sing around her very limited vocal range. On this collection she performs some of the greatest Broadway tunes ever written and even though she does a good job, her voice just doesn't hold up against many of these tunes. Her warmth is felt all over the album, in "Here I'll Stay" she wraps her gentle, but narrow, voice around it and in "My Funny Valentine" she sticks to the lower register of her voice. However, in the re-recording of her classic "Sound of Music" and in "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" her voice fails her, it often sounds thin and airy and it's actually quite sad to listen to. When all is said and done Julie Andrews remains a great talent, and most of that talent is largely due to her amazing capability as a performer and her genuine warmth.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH JULIE ALL OVER AGAIN.......2005-06-25

As a young kid growing up in the Philippines I remember my Dad playing his state-of-the-art Aiwa tape recorder back in the 60s and hearing Julie Andrews' voice - truly the voice of an angel! Now, hearing these songs again with adult ears I fell in love with her voice all over again !

A Great Julie Andrews CD.......2002-01-27

If you are a fan of Dame Julie's and musicals, this is the cd for you. It is a compilation of songs from prevously released albums; The King and I, The Music of Richard Rodgers, Here I'll Stay, and Victor/Victoria, Original Broadway Cast Recording.
I found the material to be very well put together giving the listener selections from My Fair Lady, Camelot, The Sound of Music, Victor/Victoria and others. What more could you want?
As for Ms. Andrews, she is superb. There is simply no one like her. I have heard comments that prior to the infamous throat surgery she was unable to handle the difficult material and hit those high notes. This is just not true. All you have to do is listen to these songs recorded in the early 90's to know that she still had a marvelous voice. Lets hope that one day she will be able to sing and record again. If not, these may be her last recordings so treasure them.

The My Fair Lady suite is wonderful and Ms. Andrews definitely hit the high note at the end of "I Could Have Danced All Night".
Her version of "Edelweiss" and "The Sound of Music" are lovely.
Also worth listening to is "Living in the Shadows" written for the Broadway production of Victor/Victoria so you won't find it on the movie soundtrack. The lyrics are by Leslie Bricusse who also penned "Crazy World", which is another great selection on this cd.

Overall this is a cd worth having in your collection, so buy it today. Otherwise you are missing out.

Climbing Every Mountain with Mary Poppins.......2002-01-22

Julie Andrews and her music have been an inspiration to me
every since I stepped into a theater and watched Mary Poppins
(many years ago). I admire her talent and her voice on this CD. I know it is not as clear a voice as she used to have but I still enjoy listening to her. I listen to this CD when I want a "pick me up" and am proud to have it as part of my collection.

Lerner & Loewe Songbook.......2006-02-24

If you like Percy Faith's music, you'll like this one. He quit recording and died much too young. But while he lived, he recorded some great music.

Wouldn't it be lovely?.......2005-09-26

This CD represents some of the best of Broadway done in a great pops style. There are five orchestral suites, one each for the following: 'Camelot', 'My Fair Lady', 'Gigi', 'Paint Your Wagon', and 'Bridgadoon'. They are all arranged for orchestra by Robert Russell Bennett, save that for 'Paint Your Wagon', which was arranged by Cincinnati Pops Orchestra director Erich Kunzel.

The works of Lerner and Loewe were a mainstay of Broadway for decades in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, but it was during the late 50s and early 60s that their true glory days took hold. The presidential term of John F. Kennedy gained the nickname 'Camelot' in part because of the influence of the Lerner and Loewe production going on at the start. The songs contained in these suites are instantly recognisable by many, as the Lerner and Loewe songs have become so well known that many know the songs better than the musicals or the composers from which they come. 'I Could Have Danced All Night' and 'Wouldn't It Be Lovely' come from 'My Fair Lady', 'Thank Heaven for Little Girls' from 'Gigi' - these are but the most of famous of the familiar tunes.

There are a lot of pieces here that the listener will appreciate, both in remembering old pieces or in learning new nuances to the tunes.

This particular disc by Telarc has a feature called 'Spatializer', which gives a three-dimensional quality to the sterophonic sound, enhancing regular players and working well with surround-sound systems, too. The Cincinnati Pops are expert at this kind of music, having produced dozens of CDs of popular music and modern composers of musicals, film music, and pops-oriented major compositions.

This is a fun disc to have.

A Successful Sequel.......2005-08-03

This CD is a follow-up to the Rodgers & Hammerstein Songbook for Orchestra (1991) from the same team. It is a thoroughly successful sequel: I believe anyone who enjoyed the R&H will enjoy this one as well. If I am very slightly less enthusiastic about this one than the R&H, it's not because of any shortcoming of Kunzel, the Cincinnati Pops, or Telarc, all of whom are at the top of their form. Rather it's because Frederick Loewe, for all his undoubted expertise, is not quite in the same class as a composer with Richard Rodgers. But that's asking a lot, since Rodgers was the American musical theater's leading light. Lerner & Loewe's musicals were second only to R&H's during the golden age of the American musical, and their My Fair Lady is by any standard one of the best musicals ever staged. If Loewe did not create as many unforgettable numbers as Rodgers, he nevertheless wrote many delightful songs and much enjoyable music. This CD features five orchestral suites, ranging in length from 9 to 18 minutes (total playing time 68:06), from Brigadoon (1947), Paint Your Wagon (1951), My Fair Lady (1956), Gigi (film 1958; staged 1973), and Camelot (1960). The arrangements (all but one by Robert Russell Bennett) are expert. The performances are masterly (if perhaps lacking in just a tad of the infectious brio that the same team brought to R&H). And Telarc's robust sound (recorded 1993) would be hard to improve on. Warmly recommended.

Delightful Listening.......1998-12-05

Some of the nicest and nearly forgotten music (Paint your Wagon & Brigadoon) is nicely compiled here. It will make you want to listen to the full soundtracks again, but for a quick tour of Lerner & Lowe, it is very nice.

Album Description

Brother Dave Gardner's fourth long-player is in many ways his most acerbic and direct. The performance captured on 'Did You Ever?' comes from an appearance in the heart of Dixie and the proverbial buckle of the Bible belt, upon the campus of the Universit

Album Description

In 1970, Kingsley formed the pioneering First Moog Quartet, a four-synthesizer ensemble that attempted to prove that the electronic music could be played 'live' on stage, even in classical musical venues like Carnegie Hall (where the group gave the first live performance of synthesized music ever on January 30, 1970). Kingsley said, 'People were kind of confused about the concert, I understand, because it was just so new.' In order to get the Moog Quartet going, Kingsley had to convince Robert Moog to build the three other synthesizers he needed. Then hire & train four musicians to play them. Not an easy task. But Kingsley's First Moog Quartet (originally released in 1970 on Audio Fidelity) is the astonishing result. Original artwork. Features 8 tracks & 8-page booklet. Dagored. 2003.

Jackie Lomax - how can someone this good, still be unknown?.......2001-08-27

Jackie Lomax is a long-lost/never found gem. One of the best white R&B/soul voices to have come out of the sixties and seventies, he was unappreciated at the time and unheard of today and what a shame that is for lovers of great blues/soul/pop music. After the Undertakers, Lomax Alliance, his spell on Apple records, his time with Heavy Jelly, his two Warner Brothers albums and one album as a member of Badger, he signed with Capitol in 1975 and this, his second album for them appeared in 1977. DID YOU EVER HAVE THAT FEELING? was released in the USA but didn't receive a European release. Its cover was designed by Klaus Voorman who played bass on his Apple recordings and did the artwork for the Beatles' REVOLVER. I remember being slightly disappointed by this album the first time I heard it but it grew in stature with every play and rapidly became one of my favourite Jackie Lomax LPs. Every track is good but ONLY FOOLS, PART OF MY LIFE, ROOM TO MOVE and FLOATING are excellent. Toshiba-EMI in Japan have given us all a chance to listen to the album again and hopefully, it will be appreciated more than it was in the mid-70s. This and its predecessor LIVIN' FOR LOVIN' are long overdue for re-issue/re-appraisal and a welcome addition to any CD collection. I wonder if Jackie Lomax will be getting any royalties from this issue though? I hope so.

What a Great Voice!.......2005-01-05

Adding another album to his growing list, Russel Watson presents 13 more tracks to his fans and new listeners. If you enjoyed The Voice and Encore you're definitely not wasting your money on purchasing yet another album.
Watson's combination of classical operatic pieces with symphonic pop orchestration puts a new twist on some old favorites. If you prefer listening to old remastered Caruso recordings this may not be the album for you, but if you like hearing old favorites remade with a twist and a great voice this is definitely for you.
With just enough spice to promote further interest and the same stunning delivery of each song as in his previous albums, Watson delivers another nearly flawless piece of work for us to enjoy!

better, but still awful.......2004-12-15

ALthough he has improved immensely since his other recordings he still is incredibly sub-standard as an opera singer. Clearly, his adoring public don't seem to realise, or care. He continues to show a sloppy, ugly lack of technique and simply does not grasp foreign languages at all, not the italian which dominates this album, or the spanish, french or latin which is also included. Many of his higher notes are strained and forced, especially evident at the end of Granada.
The Grandiose, lavish orchestrations are again the best thing about this CD, and overtake as the star of the album.
The selection of songs is very pleasing though, with some surprisingly nice pop songs, which he actually does a decent job of.
He shamelessly imiates Dean Martin in That's Amore, and his impression is actually quite entertaining.
In the Pearl Fishers Duet, he arrogantly sings both parts himself, neither done very well, with the song irritatingly abridged to minimise the amount of singing he must do as a "baritone" (snigger).
Ave Maria is mundane, and uninspired in all aspects.
La Danza is tediously slow, with a dreadful orchestration and awful pronunciation.
Bohemian Rhapsody is a song that should not be redone by anyone, and this recording is dreary and uninspired.
Vesti la Guibba is done without much conviction. His cry of pain sounds like a forced laugh, and the "emotion" in his voice sounds incredibly false. He also ventures off-key at one stage.
Without a doubt, the best part og this album,in my opinion, was the duet with cleopatra, The Best That Love Can Be. I know people will disagree with me here, and i'm surprised myself that i like this song, but i think it is a very lovely song, with very nice singing for both performers.
If you're thinking of buying this CD, download the best that love can be off the internet, and forget the rest. It's really not worth it, unless you want a classic example of how not to sing opera.

"Reprise" is no Prize.......2004-11-05

A very poor CD both in choice of music and voice quality. Mr. Watson's voice sounds strained and tired in many of the songs. I was very disappointed and sorry that I purchased "Reprise".

Better than the second time around.......2004-10-06

Russell Watson and his hyper publicity machine have returned to bless or curse us once again with both pop and operatic selections, over orchestrated and over-hyped as always.

I bought this CD knowing full well what to expect because I have the first 2 and had absolutely no reason to buy this other than to see how Watson would fare against a spinto aria like Canio's lament in "Vesti La Giubba".
I didn't expect it to go that well and I wasn't disappointed.
Seems this guy's voice is starting to sound stranger with each release....not bad mind you, just well...not good in an operatic context either.

Anyhow, I liked this CD much better than his sophmore CD "Encore".
The song selection is well balanced between arias, neapolitan favs and the usual fare of Euro-pop.
I even like some of his Euro-pop stuff like "In the living years".

The main reason I couldn't bring myself to give this a 4 star rating, though tempted, was because of the odd sounding vocalizations on the operatic arias. His voice seems like it's tired or pushed...I can't place it but it has me wondering why this kid doesn't take some time off, buy himself a top-notch coach / teacher, fix his vocal problems and come back better than ever.While he's at it he should really go live in Italy for a year and get a grasp of the language. One would think that over the span of 3 CD's his Italian would be near perfect by now but that's not the case....thus 3 stars.

Being a tenor myself I respect his talent, but I also believe that singing operatic selections is a touchy deal and can hurt an artist as much or more if not done right, as it can help.
I'm glad that Russell's label continues to promote his career as well as it does but I hope that the self-proclaimed "people's tenor" will give the people a finished product, vocally, in his next release.

All in all this could be called "The Voice" part 3 because the formula hasn't changed and it seems to be quite profitable to both Decca and Watson so I don't expect things to change too much in the years to come. Love him or hate him...he'll be back.

Terrifyingly bad.......2004-07-09

The worst singing I've ever heard is embodied in this recording. Russell Watson just don't have the voice and emotional intensity for almost all the music that he has chosen to sing. The result is hoarse vocalism and uninvolving performances.

A thoroughly bad recording.

Soulful blues from a local legend!.......2005-05-02

I've been watching Tad Robinson play for a few years now and must honestly say that this guy has one of the greatest blues voices I've ever heard. The man is flat-out dedicated to beautiful, well-thought music that packs a punch to the soul. "Did You Ever Wonder" is by far his best effort to date. If you ever get a chance to see Tad play live, DO IT!!! If you're in the Indy area, chances are you will get to see Tad's fun and energetic show topped off by local musicians Paul Holdman on guitar and Kevin Anker on keyboards. These guys will knock your socks off with their talent!!!

W.C. Handy Blues Awards Nomination for 2005 best Soul/Blues album of the year and best Soul/Blues male singer of the year.
I LOVE this album.
Course, I wrote half the songs so I'm kind of biased.
If you like soul blues, you can spend a long time with this one.

Man oh man! If _anyone_ in history can put the
"Can a white man sing the blues?" question to rest for good, it's this guy. (The answer is YES.)
Inspired original material, played by an ace band and sung by the greatest singer you,(may have), never heard of, (until now).
