Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

LETTER PERFECT CLASS(ICAL) ACT!.......2003-01-19

Great Tracks -- Great Value -- Great Book, Who Can Complain?.......2002-08-30

At this price, how can one complain?.......2001-09-30

Still, any possible weaker performances are of little importance after you get your hands on the fat booklet with over 500 pages. The booklet offers a short intro about the great composers, a glossary of musical terms, a list of works used in films and dozens of illustrations of several composers.

Overall, at this price, this is a must-have pack for any beginner, and might be useful for the occasion "quick check" of the work of many composers. Do not expect many detail, nor references to all the works of some composers; I often got frustrated with the lack of detail in some cases, but in general, the booklet is very effective for a quick reference.
You will need more titles that offer more complete information, and you won't truly learn to love classical music just by reading it, but it is small and compact.

It really puzzles me why Naxos did not include a full index of composers, a serious omission. To find a particular composer you will have to look for it yourself in over 500 pages. Also, the separation of the text is not so good, making the search even a bit slower. The lack of the index is truly annoying and I am sure it will be corrected in future editions.

Even with a few weaker pieces and the lack of the index, at this price, there isn't much to argue about. This is truly a bargain that you should not miss. I would also recommend the A-Z of Opera, which offers a bigger booklet with over 700 pages, focusing on opera works and mentioning several composers that are absent from the A-Z of Classical. That other booklet has a very complete index, and much clearer text layout and separation, that's the way both booklets should have been designed.

The two sets complement each other very well. Highly recommended.

Too Seldom Seen and Heard.......2000-02-26

This CD and each of the thirteen songs I rate 5 stars each. Each song is poignant and profound, as sung by Starling, Duffy, and company. When you've heard any of them by these fine musicians/singers, you've heard the definitive version of the song. Duffy's tenor will pierce your heart and Starling's voice can sing any song better than anyone. That dobro and mandolin are signature Seldom Scene. And the songs: "The Sweetest Gift" always brings me to tears; "Reason for Being" is the best statement of love I know; "Gardens and Memories," "Keep Me From Blowin' Away," "Small Exception of Me," and "Train Leaves Here This Morning" will touch the soul of anyone who has lived and loved and lost; "House of Gold" speaks of values convincingly. I could go on and on, but words can't convey the experience of the music.

If you hear ACT II (not on computer but on a good sound system), you'll buy it (or I wouldn't want to know you).

No Offense to the Weavers, But "Wasn't That A Time".......2000-02-22

Prior to this introduction to the "true" sounds of American Folk, I had been a big fan of Bob Dylan, James Taylor, The Burritos, and The Eagles. Somehow, bluegrass seemed to fit right in. During this short term employment in DC, I had the opportunity to listen to legendary Alexandria, Va. disc jockey, Red Shipley. I believe that it was on a Saturday morning that I first heard the Seldom Scene do TRAIN LEAVES HERE THIS MORNING. It knocked me out. I was very familiar with the Eagles version and somewhat less familiar with the Dillard and Clark version, but I loved them all.

I began desperately to find out who this "Seldom Scene" was. Lo and behold, they were from right there in the Washington area and played at a place called the Red Fox Inn on Thursday nights. I had a chance to see them and was immediately hooked. The first album that I bought was ACT II. I took it back to North Carolina and became a Johnny Appleseed of sorts. I converted several people to blugrass with this record. The very first weekend that I returned to N.C., I hitchhiked to Chapel Hill with my duffle bag and ACT II in hand.

This original version of the SS is the best in my opinion. Eldridge, Duffy, Gray, Auldridge and Starling (still the favorite singer of my wife although I will, on occasion, argue in behalf of Otis Redding.) had everything. The voices, the harmonies, the chops, the songs, they covered the gauntlet of acoustic artistry. Subsequent versions of the band were great and I bought records as they were produced, but they never quite got to that pinnacle established by these guys.

26 years later this album (now CD) continues to excite me. LAST TRAIN FROM POOR VALLEY, SMALL EXCEPTION OF ME, PARADISE, every song is great. Many people in my circle of music listener friends, prefer the more traditional sounds in both instrumentation as well as vocals. Sorry guys, this is the best bluegrass record ever made. If you're just getting interested in this kind of music, invest in this CD. If you're disappointed, send me a bill.

Eleven Amazing Songs And One Classic.......2007-06-03

Possibly the best Seldom Scene album..........2006-04-20

Mother's Milk to me..........2002-04-18

Fireflies, honey sweet humid nights, and bluegrass.......1999-11-24

This was, I believe, this first album and the music never grows old -- always fresh, bright, and crisp. Unlike some of their other albums, this is an marred by the caprice of exuberant concert goers competing with the musicians.

Makes you want to sing, dance, hum, and even do house work with a smile.

I was never a "Dead Head" but I became a "Scene Head" and if you get this album you might understand why.

The old group is the best of the best........1999-05-13
