4 out of 5 stars Flashy, Fun, and Flamboyant.......2007-05-31

The Circus March is unfortunately a style of music that is often ignored, yet can be one of the most difficult things to play. Musicians almost have to have a feel for it to achieve the desired effect. Each march contained herein captures both excitement, showmanship, and even a certain degree of comedy that is associated with this style. Listening to these brings back a by-gone era of bearded ladies, roller coasters, and kettle corn. If you play this regularly, you may even begin to smell the peanuts roasting....

5 out of 5 stars stunning musical review.......2005-09-27

This is music I have not heard, or played, for years. Most impressive musicianship. And the tempos are unbelievable! For this size group, it is amazing--and nothing less would be expected.

I am a retired music teacher, and this brought me back to the times when I played in large marching bands, or smaller groups for the local rodeo, as a college student. Great excitement in listening, and being swept away to a time when I had less to worry about.

The music itself has a great affect on me, besides the impressive way in which it is delivered. Great sound. Great precision. Great music that just isn't played or used much anymore. How fun to relive those moments--especially the ones featuring the trombone.

5 out of 5 stars Nice and lively!.......2004-04-28

I was specifically looking for music of the circus and this recording just blew me away. It is clean and well done -- technically speaking. The Eastman Wind Ensemble is spectacular! If you are looking for something that sounds like a circus band, this is NOT it. This is a very professional, high quality recording of some of the best march music ever composed.

5 out of 5 stars Sounds even better than when I first heard it.......2004-03-01

When I first heard the last eleven marches on this recording; I heard them on tape, and I really enjoyed them, this was back in 1988 when I was in the seventh grade. When I moved in the winter of 1988, I lost that tape. I was very sad when I did, and it was not until the summer of 2002 that I saw this recording at amazon; 14 years later still great, and sounds even better on CD than it did on tape. This time was even better, because it has even more marches, in the old tape, it had what on this recording are tracks 17-28. Tracks 1-16 are equally good, this recording is of a great sentimental value for me...I hope you enjoy as much as I have 14 years later....

5 out of 5 stars A staple.......2003-06-14

A great collection of marches not by Sousa conducting by none other than Fennell. You can't go wrong having this in your band CD collection.

The final album Steeleye Span made before their initial breakup finds their lineup in serious transition--the great folk guitarist Martin Carthy had returned to the band after six years away, but several longstanding members had left, and punk and disco had become their Scylla and Charybdis. Consequently, Storm Force Ten is their most experimental album, centered on a pair of long tracks that go rather far afield from the British folk tradition: a strangely glossy cover of the Brecht/Weill classic "The Black Freighter" (from The Threepenny Opera), and "The Victory," a multi-part song about Lord Nelson with a gorgeously harmonized chorus and an L.A.-inflected arrangement. --Douglas Wolk

5 out of 5 stars Quintessential "Classic" Steeleye Span..........2007-05-02

Steeleye Span pioneered folk rock along with Fairport convention (whose music I still haven't picked up yet, though I've been meaning to for variety's sake). If you're a Steeleye Span fan, you will like this CD. Period. It's a Steeleye classic, and one of my many favorites.

Skip the newer releases, like: They Called Her Babylon, Bedlam Born, Bloody Men.

Go for the Classics: Tempted and Tried, All Around my Hat, Sails of Silver, Storm Force Ten, Rocket Cottage, Hark! The Village Wait, Please to See the King, Ten Man Mop, Commoners Crown, Now We Are Six, Parcel of Rogues, Below the Salt, Back in Line.

If you must pick up "modern" Steelye albums, pick up: Time (one of their best "modern" releases) and Horkstow Grange (their other good "modern" release). "Winter" is supposed to also be good, on par with the classics (traditional arrangements of holiday songs), though I haven't yet seen it.

The above "classic" albums cover the early and middle years.

4 out of 5 stars It Isn't Steeleye Span, But I Like It!.......2006-05-30

It's okay.It's kind of like when Jehtro Tull started out bluesy. I'm no too much of a blues fan, but Tull is so talented, they make it sound good. It is the same with Steeleye Span. They kind of went into this weird faze with Storm Force, but they snapped out of it. I hate the mellotrons. But basically it is a very relaxing album, not many of the songs will make you really want to dance. One song makes you feel like you're at the carnival. A new member, John Kirkpatrick, plays the accordion. I don't really like the accordion, I would prefer Pete's violin to John's squeeze box.

4 out of 5 stars mostly great.......2003-11-26

Other than "sweep," which is a bit too trad-stiff and hymn-like, I find this album quite wonderful.

5 out of 5 stars A brilliant return to form.......2003-11-25

After the commercial failure of "Rocket Cottage", Steeleye Span regrouped seriously for the first time in their history, rerecruiting Martin Carthy and adding accordionist John Kirkpatrick for "Storm Force Ten".

Though this might have seemed a fatal mistake, in fact "Storm Fore Ten" was a surprising return artistic form, with Kirkpatrick's accordion adding a touch that had not been seen beforehand, notable at the end of the beautiful, complex Bertolt Brecht tale "Wife Of The Soldier", which Maddy, John and Martin turn into exemplary folk-rock. The next song, the epic "The Victory" was an amazingly enchanting epic of ever changing mood that yet managed not to repeat the same line in its eight minutes. The alternating lines of fuzzed-out rock and mystical folk - and everything in between - enchant in a way Steeleye had not done since "Sheep Crook and Black Dog."

The album's other Bertolt Brecht piece, "The Black Freighter," featured even more prominent accordion work and a tearfully slow chorus that actually fitted the mood of the faster sections of the song. Maddy's amazing voice here has more range and clarity than one might even suspect from previous Steeleye works. Martin Carthy's melodic solo reminds one of the things Tom Verlaine was praised lavishly for at the time of "Storm Force Ten"'s release.

After those two amazing epics, the simple "Some Rival" sounded like a return to earth, but Maddy's melodic and pure voice cannot let the song down. The a capella "Sweep, Chimney Sweep" showed that Steeleye's voices had developed on a par with the band's ability to produce original and challenging interpretations of traditional folk songs, a point reaffirmed yet again by "Treadmill Song" with its quasi-danceable beat and vocal inflections.

The closer "Seventeen Come Sunday" showed how well the accordion fitted into traditional folk songs, and the joyful voices sounded utterly quirky, and by no means serious. John's accordion produced a long yet brilliant melody that recalls the band's best years when it interplays with the fiery guitar at the end of the song.

Though overlooked for many years by both listeners and critics, "Storm Force Ten" is a blend of classic folk-rock and unconventional song structures that sounds like nothing you will ever hear. Though sounding more modern than "Hark! The Village Wait" or "Below The Salt", it was the first time since then that the band was really on form - and at their best Steeleye has few rivals in the 1970s.

4 out of 5 stars Unusual Steeleye and very good........2003-05-04

One of Steeleye's most uncharacteristic albums due to the use of accordion, and the rendition of a relatively modern non-British song (The Black Freighter, a redo of Brecht's Pirate Jenny). Pretty good stuff, though, by any measure. One of their lost treasures.

5 out of 5 stars Tall Ships Suite.......2007-01-05

This has been off the market for a number of years except for its occasional play on classical music stations. But Arkiv music is now distributing the album under license from Sony BMG Masterworks and it is superb. This is the original 1992 recording by Conifer Records, and still without notes. There are five tracks. The Suite itself has three of them: (1) The Race Begins, (2) The Open Sea, and (3) Landfall and The Grand Parade of Sail. Then there are two additional tracks with pieces by the composers Dave Roylance and Bob Galvin: Ocean Fantasia and Voyager. They are as good or better than the Suite itself, and that's a feat. Total playing time is 54:38. As the other reviews suggest, this is Romantic music at its best, conveying the imagery and feel of the Tall Ships under sail. If you saw them entering New York Harbor, you have some inkling their magnificence. Listening to this suite takes you there. It offers the same kind of inspiration you might get from Beethoven's Eroica, Dvorak's New World Symphony, Holst's Planets, or any number of other musical epic saga's. It's an extraordinary piece of music without cliches. The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra does a marvelous job, but because it was written as background music, you may find yourself cranking up the volume to match the vast expanse of its imagery. Don't hesitate. Get your copy before it disappears again.

5 out of 5 stars Where Oh Where?.......2006-02-22

Majastic,soaring music....I too have heard segments over the Radio(Phx Az) for the past 5/6 years......scoured the Internet all the way to Europe....... no luck. Where can I find This??? any help would be greatly appreciated. Tnx

5 out of 5 stars The item as described doesn't exist.......2006-01-22

I, too, heard the same broadcast. After a year of constant searching I finally got it. The tracks as listed here are terribly incorrect. As listed, the 5th track "Grand Parade of Sail" is actually the last movement of The Suite. "Ocean Fantasia" is not part of the The Suite. Since they're out of order, I'm pretty sure this listing is wrong. The CD I have was released in '92- MAYBE they changed the tracks for a '94 release. Considering how hard this CD is to get, I don't think so.

5 out of 5 stars Most beautiful music I have ever heard.......2004-07-03

I was driving to work one day when I heard this album being played on 89.5 FM KBAQ, the local radio station in Phoenix, AZ. This was the most incredible piece of classical music I have ever heard. I had tuned in to the station in the middle of the first song, "Tall Ships Suite", and straight away I thought of large sailing ships on the open ocean; without even hearing the track title. Very, very few pieces of classical music can invoke a specific type of imagery in your mind, but this one did. Beethoven's Pastoral symphony is another good example of such a type of music.

How does this music sound like? Grand, dramatic, powerful, sweeping; along the lines of other great symphonies like Dvorak's 9th or Tchaikovsky's 5th. I also believe this is the best piece of music by an English composer(s).

I have been searching for this album on and off for the last 4 years since I first heard it, but to no avail. I can find no trace of the the composers, conductor, or record company anywhere. Its as if they disappeared of the face of the earth after creating this wonderful piece of music. Oh well; such is life...the greatest treasures are experienced only once in a lifetime.

4 out of 5 stars Would be better with a different title.......2006-08-27

I didn't look close enough at the track list before buying this. I was very excited to see a soundtrack of the BBC versions of The Chronicles of Narnia, since I love the music in them (not to mention the movies in general). Unfortunately, the Narnia music is only the first 7 tracks.

The whole CD has great music, and I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been expecting the whole thing to be Narnia. A lot of the other music on it reminds me of Sherlock Holmes music. It is a great CD, and I definitely recommend it...but don't expect a full CD of Narnia music.

5 out of 5 stars BBC Narnia music=magical.......2006-04-10

I never get tired of hearing this narnia music over and over again. Mr. Burgon really captures the heart and soul of Narnia through his music. In opinion, it easily surpasses the new film music at times (both Tumnus themes are very good).

I did not care for all the choral (enya-like) music from the new film, and this music has none of that.

      When listening to this recording, one can see why St. Louis was so disappointed to lose Slatkin to D.C. This recording of Britten's "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" and his "Sinfonia da Requiem" is excellent in every way. Except for Britten's own recordings of these two works, I rate this as the best recordings of these works. The clarity of expression and the precision the ensemble exhibits are beyond reproach. Buy this recording.

      5 out of 5 stars Another gem from Slatkin.......2001-06-05

      Slatkin has become one of my favorite conductors, and this CD adds to that confirmation. Both the Young Person's Guide and the Peter Grimes Interludes are marvelous, with lots of passion and powerful playing by the London Philharmonic.

      5 out of 5 stars Beautiful music........2007-01-10

      I sat back with the lights dimmed and a cup of hot coffee and enjoyed the beautiful haunting music of years gone by. Memories abound.

      4 out of 5 stars 5 stars for performance, 4 stars due to omissions.......2006-08-29

      Why doesn't this get a perfect five stars?

      Simple reason.

      The producers at Silva, for wahtever reason, decided to cut down their SHE suites and Hands of the Ripper suites.

      On the previous Hammer releases, "Draculas - Classic Horror Films", released in 1993, recorded in 1989, they had seven additional minutes of "Hands of the Ripper" that could have been included on this set.

      Additionally, The Devil Rides Out: Film Music of James Bernard, released in 1997, recorded in 1995 and 1996 had about a minute more of additional music from SHE, PLUS about seven minutes worth of suites from Quatermass and X: The Unknown.

      Both discs in this new re-issue round out at around 68 minutes, so there was room for some of these omissions.

      Silva Screen gets big kudos for a reissuing these recordeings in the remastered HDCD format, but I don't understand these omissions. In fact, one of the tracks included, "Vampire Hunter" isn't even from a Hammer film, and its the only recording on this collection not on previous Silva CD's.

      Again, 5 stars for the performances, the 1989 performances with Neil Richardson and the Philharmonia are fantastic. (Dracula, Dracula: Prince of Darkness, Dracula Has Risen From The Grave, Taste the Blood of Dracula, Hands of the Ripper, Vampire Circus.)

      Additionally, The Westminster Philharmonic under the baton of Kenneth Alwyn do an excellent job as usual (Kiss of the Vampire, Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, She, THe Abominable Snowman, Quatermass II and Curse of the Werewolf.) Finally, the City of Prague Philharmonic, who get a bad rap more often than they deserve round out hte album and IMHO, deliver the goods, under the trusty batons of Paul Bateman (Scars of Dracula, Frankenstein Created Woman, additionally, Bateman also plays the piano solo on Kiss of the Vampire.) and Nic Raine (The Devil Rides Out, One Million Years BC, When Dinosuars Ruled the Earth, Creatures The World Forgot, The Vampire Hunter)

      I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could.

      Much thanks to producers David Wishart, Eric Tomlinson and James Fitzpatrick and recording engineers Mike Ross-Trevor, John Luard Timperley and Jan Holzner for contributing to these fine historical film music recordings.

      5 out of 5 stars "Hammer & Silva...raises the hair on the back of your neck".......2002-04-09

      Silva Screen takes us on tour through the castles of Transylvania with a collection of
      outstanding scores from James Bernard on Disc One ~ "DRACULA" (1958)..."KISS OF
      THE VAMPIRE" (1964)..."DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS"
      (1966)..."FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN" (1967)..."THE DEVIL RIDES OUT"
      (1968)..."DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE" (1968)..."THE SCARS OF
      DRACULA" (1970)..."TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA" (1970)...even though the
      blood doesn't flow as easily in "KISS OF THE VAMPIRE", the score from Bernard is
      seductive, sensual to say the least for "creatures of the night", masked ball scene blends
      atmospheric trance-masquerade themes, intoxicating main title is hauntingly mesmerizing with
      "VAMPIRE RHAPSODY", just listen to the piano solo from our character in the film Carl
      Ravna (Barry Warren), son of Dr. Ravna (Noel Willman) along with daughter Sabena Ravna
      (Jacqueline Wallis), a cult of vampires in early 20th century Bavarian, praying on a young
      honeymoon couple...Bernard's rhapsody captures the listeners heart and BLOOD!

      Let's look at Disc Two with the other Hammer themes and their composers ~ "THE
      ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN" (1957-Humphrey Searle)..."QUATERMASS II"
      (1957-James Bernard)..."CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF" (1960-Benjamin
      Frankel)..."CURSE OF THE MUMMY'S TOMB" (1964-Carlo Martelli)..."SHE"
      (1965-James Bernard)..."ONE MILLION YEARS B.C." (1966-Mario
      Nascimbene)..."WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH" (1969-Mario
      Nascimbene)..."HANDS OF THE RIPPER" (1971-Christopher Gunning)..."VAMPIRE
      CIRCUS" (1971-David Whitaker)..."VAMPIRE HUNTER" (2000-James
      Bernard)...difficult as it may be, there is a stand out ~ "THE CURSE OF THE
      WEREWOLF", fine direction from Terence Fisher (director) with an outstanding cast Oliver
      Reed (Leon-the Werewolf), Clifford Evans (Alfredo), Yvonne Romain (Servant Girl) and
      Catherine Feller (Christina), Hammer's departure from the old stereotype of the beast is
      refreshing, Reed's performance as the tormented sole, from man to wolf is touching, the score
      by Ben Frankel is tense building at it's best, to say the least, setting the tone and mood for the
      transformation with counterpoints is stimulating, inclusive orchestration development for what
      lies ahead during a full moon.

      Without a doubt the highlight pick hands down is "SHE", composer James Bernard gives of
      himself without question, the SUITE takes the orchestra into lilting melodic exercises with
      percussion chiming in, the harmonies are hypnotic blends of textured fabric, listen as The
      Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Alwyn display stirring strings and
      a solo harp run the scales in "THE ETERNAL FLAME AND THE DESTRUCTION OF
      SHE", hold-fast arrangement has haunting echoes of Bernard's constant theme, with a final
      beat from a drum in the percussion section.

      Must make mention the cast of players that made this possible ~ The Philharmonia Orchestra,
      The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, The Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra ~ and
      their various conductors Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, Nic Raine and Neil
      Richardson...supported by the illustrious staff from Silva Screen Records LTD ~ Reynold da
      Silva (executive producer), David Stoner (associate producer), Gareth Williams (Dolby
      Surround/HDCD Mastering) and of course James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), who
      has the knack of developing quality in every Silva Screen release...similar to "A History Of
      Horror:From Nosferatu To The Sixth Sense" (SSD-1111/2CD Set), guaranteed to raise the
      hair on the back of your neck!

      Total Time: Disc One 68:01 on 14 Tracks & Disc Two 68:46 on 14 Tracks ~ Silva Screen
      Records SSD-357 ~ (2002)

      5 out of 5 stars Living Stereo.......2003-05-13

      Excellent historical recordings from the AGE of Living Stereo-the way recordings should have been done-the quality behind these reecordings, and the teamwork that was involved with these as well.. John Phieffer well deserved the credit due in his efforts in turning around RCA-VICTOR to an audiophile quality production.

      5 out of 5 stars A GREAT introduction to a legendary recording technology!.......1999-03-24

      The time was right in the early 1950's when RCA tasked the mild-mannered newcomer, Jack Pfeiffer, to not only bridge the gap between corporate management and its roster of sometimes outrageously ill-tempered classical superstars, but also to develop a commercially-viable recording technology that would send a resounding shock wave throughout the industry. Working on information gained from previous stereo experiments of the 30's and 40's, Pfeiffer knew that he had to make stereo technology not only a practical medium returning optimum results in the studio, but also to get that technology transmitted from the studio to the long-playing record player in the home. This album provides wonderfully-recorded samples from the early 1950's and a booklet relating the search for attaining that goal. Interesting annecdotes abound about Reiner, Stokowski, Horowitz, and others, with many providing a chuckle. This album is a good investment to accompany whatever number of purchases you make of the RCA Living Stereo CD series.
