Customer Reviews:

Great collections, with poor quality sound.......2003-01-09

I expected to listen to great professional classical orchestra ...for this classical music collection, but the quality of the music is not too good.

There are a lot of great music collections, but they will sound better when they record it right.

It is good when you just want to have more classical music, but for a CD, the sound quality is like a [poorley made] CD.

I give 3 stars for this product.

The Greatest Collection Of Romantic Era Music.......2002-09-05

The Top 100 Classical Music series is a must have for novices of classical music, or someone already into the classics but wishes to amassa an "essentials" collection. This particular cd's span the Romantic Era, and although the 19th century saw much more music than what is covered on these recordings, this is nevertheless a brilliant and essential body of works. The Wedding March of Mendelsshon's Midsummer Night's Dream (played in weddings all over the world I'm assuming), Franz Lizst Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (The Looney Tunes Theme Music by the way) and other jewels of the era, such as the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss, the operetta overtures of Franz Von Suppe, Verdi's preludes to such operas as Nabucco and La Traviata, Wagner's intense, dramatic music for his Ring of the Nibelung operas, regarded as the epitome and the zenith of Romantic Era opera, and the music of other composers such as Tchaikovsky, Bizet, Sibelius, Rimsky Korsakov and many others. I highly recommend this cd to anyone wanting to sample and taste what Romantic Era music was all about. Five stars all the way.

Customer Reviews:

A century of British art songs to delight those who love them.......2006-06-26

These 53 songs have been collected by Naxos from their extensive acquisitions from Collins Classics, and perhaps other British sources now out of business. There's a steady cottage industry, year after year, producing the typical English art song, which is usually based on folk songs, but even in more modern idioms is profuondly conservative and nostaligic. Half these songs, not to mention half the composers, are totally unknown to American audiences, but the familiar names of Vaughan Williams and Britten represent high quality, and the lesser lights, such as Warlock and Quilter, are mainstays in this repertoire.

I'd challenge all but the most addicted listener to make it through more than ten songs at a sitting, and many of these pieces are tepid, offering comfort rather than inspiration. The singers are among the best, but Graham Johnson and Steuart Beford, who do most of the accompaniments, are lackluster. I know that won't be a popular comment, yet if you compare any of these songs with rendiitons done by Janet Baker, John Shirley-quirk, and most recently Bryn Terfel and Ian Bostridge, you immediately notice how much more intensity and drama is pesent than htis colleciton reveals.

A "Whitman's Sampler" of British Music.......2002-04-11

This budget collection contains selections from various popular British composers ranging from Clarke (Trumpet Voluntary) to Malcom Arnold. This is the kind of music that would (and often is) played on BBC "light" classical radio. Many of the pieces are familiar but the inclusion of Bridge's "The Sea" is a happy exception. The performances and sound are uniformly good and at this price you can't really go wrong. I enjoyed these musical bon-bons and unless you're looking for deep and serious works, I suspect that you will too.

German Univeristy and Folk Songs.......2003-04-22

Excellent rendition of German university and folk songs by
Erich Kunz,one of the outstanding performers of the Vienna Opera. Unlike newer recordings of these songs (which practically all tend to be done in a kitchish "oompah-oompah" style), these versions are are done in the manner in which the songs were meant to be performed. Kunz is backed up by a singers from the Vienna Opera and performs under the direction of Anton Paulik ... so the music is solid, the direction is crisp and the arrangement of the music adds to the depth and distinctness of each song.

Most traditional German music today is split into either classical or the beer garden variety. This series demonstrates what the music was like before that split occured. The songs here range from 15th Century to the middle of the 20th and come from the various regions of both Germany and Austria. Notes on German music throughout this period and the composers and songs are well written and provide an good insight into what went into the making of these pieces. The CD's also come with complete lyrics to all the songs in both German and English.

German Univeristy and Folk Songs.......2003-04-21

Wonderful singing, wonderful songs.......2003-01-08

So you can *pretend* you understand Tscherman.

The lyrics, in English and in German, are included. Erich Kunz manages to make each song its own little world, and what wonderful songs. I love all 5 records in this set - I'm sorry the first 2 are hard to find (one of those is my other fave of this series).

The solo pieces alternate with pieces with a choir, and as on the other 4 records, you can tell all involved felt a tremendous affection for these songs - singers, orchestra, conductor, everyone. The set is a wonderful way to learn the folksongs that are part of the heritage of the German language. "Ich hab' die Nacht getraumet" is a wonderful night-shadowed Victorian mood piece, like a (if you can picture this) sweet Edward Gorey drawing. "The Pinschgauers go on a pilgrimage" (by choir) is a humorous skit - you picture these stalwart, happy pilgrims, so full of faith and so inept, going on a pilgrimate to see their beloved saint and assoted things screw up as they go along. And who can ignore the story of the tailor who goes to Hell and drives everyone there so crazy they send him away (choir and Kunz together)? "There is a reaper whose name is death" (choir) is an oddly comforting but also sad song, and like others in the various collections taken from the wonderful classic, Des Knaben Wunderhorn (a collection of German folksongs collected by a poet in the 19th c.). The solemn, rousing "Prinz Eugen" (choir) is worth the whole album -then turn around and listen to Dietrich Fischer Dieskau singing Lowe's Lieder with the same title, telling the story of the making of this song! "The Two King's Children" is based on Greek mythology; Kunz becomes a medieval troubadour when he sings that. He is a cheerful Schwob when he sings the delightful "Drunten in Unterland" (in a bit of a Swabian accent, probably not a challenge in Austria, where so many Danube Swabians settled in the 1840s). The bold last song, in a knight's voice, the linen-weaver's song - I could go on and on, it's a gallery of stories and characters.

Beautiful voice, beautiful heart, beautiful music.......2006-05-10

I bought this disk when I heard the title track on CBC radio. The song in the arrangement by Healy Willan is gorgeous and achingly sad. Edith Wiens won me over immediately with her beautiful voice and the way her singing invites us to feel the love and hurt in the song. It is hard to tell from the words whether it is the love or the hurt that is the greater emotion. The only event I can conceive of that would contain such complete love and utter pain would be the death of one's love, and the words are even more powerful in such a setting.

Ae fond kiss and then we sever
Ae farewell and then forever
Deep in heart wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee

These are words adapated from a poem by Robert Burns, a man who knew how to write.

Imagine my delight when the rest of the disk contained treat after treat. Songs and ballades by Copeland, Ives, Foster, Britten, MacMillan, Lucas, Butterfield, and others. There are art songs and such familiar songs (or were familiar in my generation and earlier) as "Home, Sweet Home", "The Last Rose of Summer", Jeanie with the light brown hair", "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" and more.

Edith Wiens is a wonderful Canadian soprano who grew up as a Mennonite in Vancouver and attended Bible College there. She spent three years in Hanover on scholarship studying music and received her Masters (and later an honorary doctorate) from Oberlin. She sings all over the world and gives well received master classes - I am aware of one at Julliard as well. She has sung major roles in operas including several of Mozart's and her recitals are well loved. Once you hear her voice, you will fall for her singing as well.
