5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Pure & Beautiful.......2005-10-31

If you buy no other classical music, buy this collection. CD 1 (Relax) is perfect for dinner, quiet entertaining or just soft music while you're working. From "Come Away With Me", to "Whiter Shade of Pale" to "Knights in White Satin"... each piece is it's own movement - and moved you will be... Perfect for a romantic evening. CD2 is more robust, but equally entertaining. "Layla", "Livin On A Prayer", Stairway to Heaven", "Run to You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" - you owe it to yourself to hear these licks performed by the RPO.

5 out of 5 stars Symphonic Rock.......2005-07-25

It really isn't rock, but it is a very pleasant presentation of popular music, rendered in creative ways by a full symphony orchestra. It sounds like the orchestra had a great time making these CD's.

3 out of 5 stars pleasant easy listening.......2005-07-19

It's not extremely interesting music, but nice background, relaxing and pleasant with full orchestra. Not a bad buy at all!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent CD.......2005-03-20

I received this as a present and at first I wasn't sure if I would like it because I don't like some of the original songs, but there's something about hearing the orchestra play that makes me like all of them. Just try it out.

5 out of 5 stars American Music of Hope and Glory.......2007-04-09

Although I have known about Sacred Harp Music for many years, this album utterly overwhelmed me in its power, beauty and expression of pure American strength and faithful surety. I grew up in the churches of Christ, one of the few American denominations that uses only a capella four-part harmony vocal music in their worship services. Shape notes were known to me since I was able to understand a musical staff, and we used shape notes for each note on the scale (a few more than The Sacred Harp Tradition). Alas, over time, the immense power and beauty of true Sacred Harp music was "homogenized" into congregational singing that remains quite beautiful, but no longer has the vigor of The Sacred Harp tradition. (The churches of Christ still, to this day, occasionally have "Sings" - an all afternoon singing festival with food and fellowship, as do Sacred Harp "Singing Classes" today). This album above all speaks - rather SINGS to the immense faith of Frontier America, and the absolutely majesterial beauty of music well-sung from the human heart, which is, of course, The "Sacred Harp". To any who want to experience a new (and very old) musical tradition, this recording will be one that you will never forget. All choral music singers and admirers should own this marvelous album. (Having a copy of the "1991 Sacred Harp Hymnal" in hand will make your enjoyment all the better!)

5 out of 5 stars Unbridled spiritual energy.......2005-01-01

Anyone who saw "Cold Mountain" and was struck by the vitality and energy of the hymn singing in that one brief scene in church will be immediately impressed with this stunning album. The album's only flaw is that, unfortunately, it does not include that hymn that was in "Cold Mountain" (it is titled "I'm Going Home").

Otherwise, it is pure joy to listen to. The singing is full of that same raw passion that makes it sound so primitive. I've heard other albums where the sound is polished, concert-hall like, and as a result very dead. This is not that way; it moves and stirs as good spiritual music ought to.

This is a new field of music for me, even though I've sung in church choirs for years and listened to all kinds of classical music. Hearing this album makes me want to go find the sheet music and start singing it myself, it is so infectious.

To get a sense of just how authentic a listening experience you're in for when spinning Jasmine Flower, flip through the liner notes first. Four pages in you'll find nothing but characters, and the second half is so pocked with bungled possessives and punctuation you wonder whether it was penned by the menu writer at your favorite hole-in-the-wall kung pao place. Sung in dialects from a jigsaw of Chinese regions, Flower dazzles with nectar-sweet harmonies, exotic instrumentation, and a spirit of innocence that transcends cultures and languages. China-specific sounds like the moon guitar and long lute slant the vibe in a spiritual direction, but each sentiment unfolds easily to willing Western ears. "The Anthem of Parents," from the Hunan Province, harnesses a distinct vocal reverie in describing the love that parents feel for their children; the Tibetan "My Beautiful Homeland--Xigaze" speaks, through gentle woodwinds and an exacting, chanted refrain, of a heavenly paradise with fragrant wine and flowers; and the Cantonese "A Rainy Day," drizzled in the sounds of nature and a mood of solemnity, illustrates the universal bummer of being at Mother Nature's mercy. Though the Beijing Angelic is strictly a kids' choir, Jasmine Flower exudes a Zen-style agelessness that anybody who's patted a Buddha's belly will warm to, tranquility-seeking New Age types especially. Educational applications are an option should Asian studies be in bloom at your household, but so is sitting back to simply to listen to the choir's gentle artistry. As the title track suggests, the jasmine's fragrance permeates everywhere, and everybody loves its white, lovely flowers. --Tammy La Gorce

We bought this album for my niece. She is just two and a half but she likes music.
I think her parents are going to teach her to be bilingual in both the Taiwan language and English.
I listened to the album in its entirety and enjoyed all the music. I recommend it for children and adults!

4 out of 5 stars Angelic Choir.......2006-03-22

I actually bought this to use as background tracks for digital show on trip to China. I had a number of Chinese CDs, but this one is really excellent. The variety of moods and the angelic voices are a pleasure to hear. I especially liked the happy "Fiery Horses" song.

4 out of 5 stars Shows you how good they were in concert.......2003-03-23

Since the Levellers have never really headlined in the States, the average Yank does not have a very clear idea of what a good live band the Levellers are. Sure there are bootleg concerts out there, but they are harder to find than an import album.

Pressed in 1996, this album gives a one-hour serving of songs collected from various European stops on their 1995-96 tour to support the album Zeitgeist. The sound of the music washing over all of those bodies makes you wonder why only the Europeans know about these dudes. The crowd singing along with Sell Out, One Way and The Road are very touching indeed, while Liberty and The Riverflow can absolutely rock your teeth out.

I've always been fond of Zeitgeist. Here there are three songs representing the album.: Hope Street, Exodus, and Men-An-Tol.

The Levellers sound just as good live as they do on CD. Maybe even better. I got hooked on this CD when I was a college freshman, and it really felt like an album in its own right. If you think the Levellers are good, this will make you think they're great.

5 out of 5 stars A Classic!.......2001-12-01

Although China White rarely comes to the top of anyone's head when thinking about the early 80's California punk scene, they are one of the best bands to emerge from it(and this includes such great bands as DI, TSOL, Circle Jerks, Adolescents, Social Distortion, etc.) The reason why they are so underrated is because they only released one album, and it is all but impossible to find, I can't beleive Amazon carries it. The album, entitled Dangerzone, is one of the classic albums of this era, right along with Group Sex by the Circle Jerks and Damaged by Black Flag, but it is better than either. The music is very fast, but not so much so that you can't keep up with the beat, and the vocals sound a little like Keith Morris. Every song is a classic, there are no boring parts to this album. The Flyboys ep is included, and even though it is a little slower and not quite as good, it has great melodies and it compliments the China White album well. Be warned-all of the other China White releases you will find are from the re-formed, post-1991 band, which are nowhere near as good and sound completely different. This is the one to own.

5 out of 5 stars Eighties Punk Rock Lives!.......1999-06-16

Don't miss out on this great band! Birthed in the punk movement in Los Angeles, China White made the rounds and gained a great reputation as a seminal hardcore punk band. The band is still together, and still has it together. The key to the band's sound, displayed in all its glory on this recent offering, is their guitarist and his trademark sound. Mike Raffino has both the chops and style to catapult this band into upper eschelon status in any hard rock genre. This cd mixes older China White standards with newer songs. It never lets up, but each song has a careful craftsmanship that belies good song writing. China White demonstates that hard core punk can be performed with a great musician's skill and still be loud (and good)!.
