Great Performances, Okay Sound, Great Selections!.......2006-07-28

Brahms has always been one of my favourite composers and Bernstein and the Vienna PO have done an excellent interpretation of all his Symphonies and especially of the Violin and Double Concerti. The sound quality for a live recording is also quite okay and this is especially so of the last disc which contains the Concerti.

The packaging of a cardboard box which holds the paper sleeves which house the 5 discs is also nice to behold. You also get a nice 16-page booklet with an essay on Brahms written by Bernstein himself.

I was amused to also discover that when it comes to Brahms' symphonies, it appears the 3rd movements are charms when it comes to "borrowing" the melodies for pop/rock tunes too. The progressive rock band, Yes, have openly used the 3rd movement of the 4th one as one of the tracks on their wildly successful album, "Fragile" while if you listen closely to the one from the 3rd Symphony, you'll realise that Santana totally ripped off the melody for the second track on his "Supernatural" album, "Love of My Life" with Dave Matthews. At least Yes had the decency to give the credit to Brahms when they did it though.

This box set though comes highly recommended.

Bernstein's Riveting Brahms Symphonies and more with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.......2005-09-09

Leonard Bernstein has been praised and condemned by musical critics who have examined his unique, distinctive style of conducting. Along with Herbert von Karajan, Bernstein was probably among the two finest music directors of his generation; critics have thoroughly compared and contrasted Bernstein's emotional approach with Karajan's stern, almost business-like approach to conducting. Regardless of whether or not you may love Bernstein's style of conducting, he is still revered and loved by his harshest critics, the musicians who enjoyed playing for him as members of some of the world's greatest symphony orchestras. For example, I had the pleasure of meeting one of the Vienna Philharmonic's concertmasters last March here in New York City, hearing his lavish praise of Bernstein as both a musician and person. He still regarded Bernstein as one of his favorite conductors, viewing their concerts as among the highlights in his own noteworthy career as solo violinist and concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

The enthusiasm and admiration which the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra had for its favorite American conductor is present in this splendid Deutsche Grammophon collection which has been compiled recently from the original digital recordings made during live concerts held in the early 1980s. Among these are one of my favorite recordings of the Brahms 2nd Symphony, which is a lush, lovely reading of Brahms' most pastoral symphony, and a valid interpretation inspite of Bernstein's tendency for slower tempi. Similarly, the other three symphony recordings are splendid in their own right, with the brooding 1st Symphony a mesmerizing, exciting performance. I strongly recomend this CD collection as a fine example of Bernstein still conducting at the height of his artistic powers, demonstrating the excellent collaboration between the conductor and his favorite European orchestra. Without question, this remains one of the best Brahms symphony cycles available to discerning collectors and novices of classical music alike.

I still find it hard to believe that the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame ignores groups like The Flamingos and The Moonglows, both of whom had several hit singles. The Flamingos are one of the absolute best r&b groups to come along and their voices blend so well you know their music will put you in the mood for love any old time. Maybe someday this wonderful group will finally get their due, they definitely deserve it.

The "FABULOUS" Flamingos.......1999-02-07

This is the ultimate collection of the ultimate group. No one in the music business has ever recorded better versions of new and "standard" material than the Flamingos. These two CDs will keep you in a mellow "wish my girl were here" mood for years to come. Trust me...the tracks on this compilation can not be outdone...Disc 2 will blow you away!

solid doo-wop craftsmanship.......2004-02-25

The Cleftones are at their best in this two-disc retrospective. The hits and the B-sides combine to paint a vivid picture of late 50's and early 60's group harmony. The Cleftones were mindful of the need for commercial success, but without sacrificing their art. Most know them only for "Heart and Soul," but there's much more to savor here. I heartily recommend it.

A Good Addition To Any Early Sixties Collection.......1998-08-02

"Heart And Soul" was the only song by the Cleftones I was familiar with when I ordered this two CD set. I'm glad I took a chance with this. There are several other good songs here. Many are in true stereo and sound as though they could have come from master tapes. Their version of "Earth Angel" is better than the released version made popular by another group. So, if you like this kind of stuff, you won't be disappointed.

The following tracks are in true stereo. Disk one: tracks 4, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Disk two: tracks 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16. Only disk two, track 19 is an exception to good sound quality, it sounds as though it was recorded off an LP.

Decent Alternative Sibelius.......2007-07-08

Leonard Bernstein's series of "Indian Summer" recordings for DG included the beginnings of a second go-round with the symphonies of Jean Sibelius -- the First, Second, Fifth, and Seventh. They're all marked by often exaggeratedly expansive tempos, rubatos, and other indulgences; especially the popular Second, a bloated, belching affair I found hard to digest on first listen. However, Lenny makes a beautiful case for the First, probably the most Tchaikovskian of the lot in most performances, but here given a unique treatment which makes it sound distinctly Sibelian. Still, it's difficult to recommend these recordings for a novice listener.

Not Great To Very Good Sibelius From Leonard Bernstein.......2007-06-21

Deutsche Grammophon has selected wisely from its vaults in re-issuing classic recordings in its special Collectors Edition series. Whether these recordings made by Leonard Bernstein, primarily with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (Wiener Philharmoniker), truly qualify is an interesting observation which I will leave to others. However, I will note that for my own personal tastes, I have enjoyed more Sibelius symphony recordings from Karajan, and especially, Colin Davis. Here Bernstein merely reaffirms for some what an intriguing, idiosyncratic conductor that he had become by the close of his life, with "mannered" performances, of which the Sibelius 2nd Symphony is the most egregious example. And yet I can still rate this box set highly for the very fine performances of Sibelius's 1st and 5th symphonies, and for the poignant performance of Britten's "Sea Interludes" recorded live at Tanglewood in 1990 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in what would be his last concert performance ever. Devoted fans of Leonard Bernstein's celebrated career as a conductor will find much of interest to hear and enjoy in this box set.

A Great Sibelius 2nd.......2007-03-24

Bernstein was an interpretive conductor. This is a performance which makes an event out of the 2nd symphony. The Breitkopf and Hartel score includes a duration of 45 minutes under the scoring page. Bernstein's performance is not far off. As personal as his intrepretation is (including a few changes in dynamics), most of Sibelius' tempo markings are meticulously followed. Molto largamente, Andante sostenuto, Poco allegro, Allegro, are tempo markings which appear in the 2nd movement - all are followed. Bernstein rigorously applies the 'Tempo Andante, ma rubato' to the eight-note (3/8), not the quarter. As a result, the 2nd movement is taken at a slower pace. But the pacing is entirely logical within that context. Careful listeners will also notice that one measure of the 3rd movement Vivacissimo (taken in 1 - one of the fastest on record) equals exactly one quarter note of the tempo in the finale. These correspondences (and there are many) give cohesiveness to the structure of the work.

The 2nd movement, one of the great tragic symphonic utterances, and the finale, one of the most uplifting in the repertoire, are perfectly realized in this great performance. Absolutely not to be missed.

Self indulgence controversy.......2006-06-26

Some reviewers, especially British ones, promotioning Northern values of controlling your passion and never wearing your "heart on the sleeve" etc, have criticized heavily Bernstein's No 2 as being "self-indulgent".
I feel the discussion is meaningless. Are there not enough standard performances available on CD, full of "poise", "dignity", self-restraint, and moderation ? Presumably, one more bland run-of-the-mill recording is more attractive than something extraordinary and personal.
Try to open yourself to the excitement of interpreting Chopin as if he were Beethoven, Ravel as if he were Bach. You will discover new areas of emotional and intellectual stimulus.
I heartily recommend Bernstein's DG Indian Summer self-indulgent recordings, of Sibelius, Mahler, and Tchaikovsky.
The slow movement of Sibelius' Second from Bernstein may be "tasteless" but a hell of a listening experience. Like yin and yang, we humans need romantic passion as well as classical intellect.

A great bargain if you know what you're in for.......2006-03-18

Fifteen years after his death, DG has decided to give us ultra-bargain box sets of Bernstein's late recordings. As is well known, he could be eccentric in this period, often too slow and self-indulgent. Those flaws are at their worst here in the Sibelius Sym. #2 form Vienna and the Elgar from London. But the other Sibelius, particularly Sym. #7, shows real depth of feeling and justifies Bernstein's expressive indulgences. The Four Sea Interludes are moving for being part of the last public concert he gave in Tanglewood with the BSO, and the orchestra plays wonderfully for him. The rest of the performances fall somewhere in between these extremes. They will all remain controversial, I imagine, but there's a great deal of enjoyment to be had here if you know what you are in for.

The Johnny Maestro Cd You Need.......2005-02-22

This is the cd you should buy if you want to hear the great voice of Johnny Maestro(cousin of Carlo from Dion and The Belmonts)It has all the crests songs youll need, plus it has the best of his solo recordings, which are almost better than the Crests recordings. The only downside is that tracks are repeated sometimes,but for the great price,and keep in mind that it is a 2 cd set and it has over 50 tracks,it is a great buy and you should buy the complete Coed works(that is what this cd set is if you didnt know)of Johnny Maestro and the Crests

Great early rock group harmony........1998-08-19

Not just for collectors but for anyone who enjoys late 50's / early 60's group harmonies. Several stunning items on a consistently well remixed CD. Hits and unreleased gems abound. Johnny Mastero and his group are so vocally gifted that one begins to wish this was an acapella release.

Wow! Unbelievable Sound Quality.......1998-07-19

As shown on the track listing, many tracks are in true stereo. All tracks sound as though they came from the original master tapes. To hear "Step By Step" for the first time in hi-fidelity true stereo was awesome. I did not know the Crests had recorded so many songs. I was only familiar with a couple of their hits until I listened to this two CD set. Highly recommended if you like this kind of sound from the late fifties/early sixties.

Can you believe his voice?.......2004-07-29

When i very first saw "Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers" it was on the movie "Why Do Fools Fall In Love?" Which I now have. I fell in love with his music. Now three years and a lot of searches later. I hav the movie "Rock Rock Rock!" and soon to get "Mister Rock 'n' Roll". I try to get everything I can of him. I such a huge fan of him i wanted to get one of there sweaters. My favorite song is "Fortunate Fellow" which he performs in "Mister Rock 'n' Roll". I also like "abc's of love" because of his volcals in the interlude. It doesent sound human. I tried getting all of these songs off of downloading sites. But you can't collect all of these. So if you decide to buy this wonderful collection of frankie's songs. I would suggest you do, it's so worth it. My name is Jeremy. I am 15 years old.

The Best of Doo-Wop.......1999-10-25

I heard "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" for the first time when I was in high school. When I got to college, I found out about this CD set and got it for Christmas my freshman year, and I fell in love with the Teenagers. They were really one of the best early Doo-wop groups around. There's a lot of great songs on these CDs. My two favorite Teenagers songs are "Goody Goody" and "Little Girl."

If you love either oldies or doo-wop, this CD is a must.

COLLECTIBLES have put together a wonderful package of my favorite DOO WOP group of all time. No DOO WOP collection is complete without DELL VIKINGS. Now, you might be thinking, " I don't need 2 CDs of DELL VIKINGS. I'll just buy a single CD of their greatest hits." What a mistake that would be. Skip lunch one day this week and spring for this. You won't be sorry. Try the samples and see for yourself.

NOTE: the Amazon samples here are mixed up. Most of the first disc is actually the second disc. And vice versa. (Also check out THE FLAMINGOS FOR COLLECTORS ONLY from the same series.)

ENJOY.

Got to hear this.......2000-04-01

The Dell Vikings have to be the best of the Acapella "50's" groups. Thier music is the pace setting style to judge all others.

If there is just one album you have in your collection of this style of music THIS IS IT. The only thing you have to do is play several of thier cuts to hear the best of the BEST.

I feel you can't get better Do-Wop and street music than this. I have been looking for this group since 1967. This is a truly a great find. Cuts like "Come Go With Me", "Whispering Bells" and others you will remember are only the tip of what they can do. If you don't find songs like "Senorita" bringing you way back, you just will miss the best of what the "50's" had to offer.

Customer Reviews:

Falling In Love Again.......2003-06-24

To listen is to fall in love with the Chantels all over again. While some of the lesser known tracks fall into the category of "merely interesting," the overwhelming majority of the cuts on this cd leave even the casual listener in awe. A choir of angels. Arlene, I hope the children you teach are aware of the fact that they're being taught by the lead angel. Thank you for the 40+ years (has it been that long?) of pleasure you've given us.

The Girl Group!!.......2003-06-19

The Chantels, this collection is a great overview of the girl group that started it all on the R&B sceen!! NO GIRL GROUP could touch their Voices!!
