This was a gift and the receipant loves it. Amazon responded to my order in above average time and I will continue to buy through their website.

1 out of 5 stars Not for the serious flautist.......2006-06-10

Most of the tracks on this CD consist of saccharine fluff, such as Disney, show-tunes, etc. If I buy a flute recording, I want to hear some serious music, not this ghastly schmaltz. And I hate to say it, I'm not a huge fan of Galway's playing style. It's too light and airy, just on the edge of going into overtones. He overuses his vibrato, especially on the higher notes. When you want them to just smoothly soar with rich tone, they just sort of flutter about. He does have impeccable technique and speed, but his tone leaves a lot to be desired, in my opinion. Seek out another artist!

5 out of 5 stars The Very Best of James Galway.......2005-09-23

Really is one of the best of James Galway, if not the very best. Easy listening, soothing, relaxing - easy to enjoy

3 out of 5 stars Lightweight.......2005-08-24

Admirers of James Galway as a superb classical flutist, of whom I am one, should be forewarned that this 2002 release has been packaged by the mass merchandisers for the "crossover" crowd and the mass market: there's slim pickin's here for serious music lovers. The first CD contains brief, lightweight classical "hits" in "arranged" versions, basically encore bonbons, while almost the entire second CD is devoted to ephemeral, forgettable pop fluff. There's not much of substance here; given Galway's vast (over 50 recordings) discography, the classical music lover would be well advised to look elsewhere.

4 out of 5 stars A pleasant surprise.......2007-03-08

I'm one of those The Sound of Music addicted, having lost the track of how many times I've seen it whatever the format is. Therefore, it was basically for curiosity that I've bought this CD. It's a fine recording that takes you to a typical, cosy family reunion. The male voices are not impressive and I wouldn't include the flute solos in the CD. But the final result is very pleasant, excellent to listen in the car while you're driving in the countryside (before lunch, of course).

5 out of 5 stars The original sound of their music. .......2006-01-15

The original von Trapp Family's twenty years of touring and performing internationally had finished, and Maria Augusta von Trapp had written their story in three books and begun several decades of missionary work in New Guinea by the time "The Sound of Music" hit Broadway, and Julie Andrews later sang about her favorite things in a top-earning film. I don't know if the original von Trapp Family benefitted from show and film royalties; they certainly deserved to, for they worked very hard perfecting, under their conductor Dr Franz Wasner, their natural ensemble and music-making talents.

The results may be heard in this first-class CD reissue of recordings they made in New York in 1952 and 1956. The family amassed a large repertoire, collecting items while touring, for example "Waltzing Mathilda" from Australia. The selection here includes a cross-section (loosely titled "Folk Songs") and some of their instrumental items involving recorders, cello and harpsichord. Perhaps the items from their rich Austrian culture are the most satisfying.

This is the second DGG CD release of their recordings. Duration 52 minutes. I recall from my LP collecting days, that there are enough Trapp Family recordings to fill a third CD. I look forward to it.

5 out of 5 stars Still singin' those mountain ballads after all these years.......2006-12-05

Country music fans today, just listen to the music and enjoy it for what it is, but did we ever really think about the starts of country music? Who started it? What kind of songs did they sing? Were they any good? Did their children follow in their footsteps and were they sucessful?
So many questions!! This CD is the answer. The first family of country music was the Carter Family, A.P., Sara, and Maybelle of Clinch Mountain, VA. But they were much more than mountain hilbillies who liked to party on friday nights. They wrote songs about lost love, the place they knew and loved, and most of all, just fun songs.
We start off with the legendary. "Keep on the Sunny Side," the Carter's theme song. This song is basically about how if we just look on the bright side of things, they aren't so bad after all. "Storms and clouds will in time pass away, and the sun again will shine, bright and clear."
Hey June Carter fans? Did you know where "Wildwood Flower" came from? It was from the good ol' Carter Family! Actually, it was one of their first hits, probably the most reknown carter family song in the world. About lost love, it's a song you'll want to sing 24/7!
"Worried Man Blues," is my very favorite Carter Family song. It has a catchy tune, and a good beat. The song is about a man who is sentenced to go to prison, but he has no idea what he's done. Filled with fun and laughter, this will become and family favorite.
"My Clinch Mountain Home," tells you alot about the Carter's backaround history. It reflects the carter's lives from "Ole Virginny."
"Foggy Mountain Top," is a great song. It features Sara's yodeling, and Maybelle's great guitar pickin'. This song, like "My Clinch Mountain Home", secretly shares backaround information about life as a Carter as well.
Ah, "Single Girl, Married Girl," the Carter's first hit, and undoubtfully their most sucessful. This is a solo for Sara, and also a solo for her autoharp.
In "My Old Cottage Home," A.P. does most of the singing, which is rare since he usually only did backup. Very similar to "My Clinch Mountain Home," but also very different. It's one of my favorites, so yuo will proabaly liek it too.
"The Valley of Shanandoah," is a very sad song. It tells a story about how a man fell in love with a beautiful girl in the past summer and promises to return to her next year so they can be married. Sadly, when the man returns, he finds that his true love had passed away into the great kingdom above. Teh song may be sad, but it capture your heart.
"Chewing Gum," is a really fun song to sing, and it really helps past the tiem away. A song that Sara wrote when she was a child, "Chewing Gum," features many funny lines that will make you laugh out loud as if you were watching Hee-Haw!
If you buy this CD, it's liek hearing the Carter's story through music. It's truly any country msuic fan's treasure. Be sure to read my other revies for June Carter Cash's "Press On", "Wildwood Flower", "Keep on teh Sunyn Side: Her life in Music, and "Live Recordings from the Lousiana Hayride."

1 out of 5 stars All anthems have very poor audio quality. .......2006-08-10

The poor audio quality of the recorded anthems makes this CD unusable for public events and personal listening. The highs are are not clean and the mids and lows are missing. Each anthem is performed so much like the next one that the unique flavors of each does not come through.

1 out of 5 stars mistake over mistake.......2005-12-24

Not only the composer for Romania's anthem is wrong, but so is the tune!!! The CD was released in 1994, but the anthem at that moment was already changed (in 1990).

2 out of 5 stars 'National Athems Of The World' (Madacy Records).......2005-12-17

Cannot believe I'm even reviewing this CD,but I do like other patrons seeing what I have to say about music releases. This is by far very different than any other disc I've ever covered.What you get here are twenty-seven national anthems of countries like the UK, Western Germany, USA, Japan, Finland, Turkey,etc. This is not my cup of tea at all. Not even close. The only people I've ever known to enjoy this sort of music are Civil War buffs,history fanatics and citizens over 80 years old.

5 out of 5 stars wrong composer for romania's.......2005-02-24

composer for romania's anthem on this CD's NOT Matei Socor.
Matei Socor composed romania's anthem used during 1953-1977
but certainly not this one (namely the "Three Colours")on this CD. please correct it and prevent confusions

3 out of 5 stars not reliable, but..........2004-01-08

Waltzing Matilda certainly isn't the national anthem of australia, but speaking as an australian it is a much better, much more australian song than advance australia fair and SHOULD be the national anthem. Granted, it's an inexcuseable mistake but personally it makes the purchase a better one

      4 out of 5 stars Une bonne idée de la musique folklorique australienne.......2005-06-16

      Lorsque j'ai commandé ce disque, je n'avais qu'une très vague idée de la musique folklorique australienne. En écoutant ce CD, j'ai remarqué que cette musique ressemblait beaucoup à la musique folklorique irlandaise, surtout avec l'accent de certains chanteurs. J'ai bien aimé ce disque et il vous donne une bonne idée de la musique folklorique australienne.

      3 out of 5 stars Waltzing Matilda- Songs of the Austrailia.......2000-02-27

      From a historical perspective, this collection of recordings of Australian folk music is worthwhile. However the technical quality of the recordings themselves is easily the poorest I have ever heard in my life. My father's collection of old 78's truthfully has better sound. Unfortunately, nowhere in the liner notes or on the CD itself does it give any clue as to when the recordings were made. The only explanation I can think of is that the recording engineer got blown up in the Battle of Gallipoli (1915) with his wax cylinders by his side. The piecing together of the "records" is what we have today in this CD.

      It's almost unbelievable that Lionel Long is better known as a minor TV actor than as a singer, if he's known at all. His voice is fabulous; warm and clear, with great control and sensitivity.
      There is a great selection of songs here, some humorous, some serious, some famous. You couldn't get a better balanced collection.
      And there is one compelling reason to have it - the best ever recording of a haunting ballad with a stunningly beautiful melody : Moreton Bay.
      Once heard, not easily forgotten.
