Not Just An Album - But A Gift.......2007-07-16

I have to take a bit of exception to all the negative reviews that has been given to this album.

It seems that the purpose and context of this Album has been lost on more than a couple of people, mainly those calling for a "remix" or complaining about the "sound quality".

Historically, Rush live albums have been highly polished affairs, known for their musical perfection, thanks to the magic of post production cleanup. In fact, Exit Stage Left does not have much of a live feel as the entire album feels like a studio album with applause scotch taped to the beginning and end of each song to give it a "live vibe"

And as a result, this is what we've come to expect from "The Three Stooges". Studio and Live albums that are mixed and played with perfection, but lacking, sometimes in soul.

Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense, is arguably one of the best live concert movies ever produced precisely because if feels less like a movie and more like a concert. When I first saw it in a Movie Theatre, the entire auditorium treated it as a live event, with dancing in the aisles, and lighting of bic lighters (much to the dismay of the theatre manager). However it's resulting CD suffered because of the perfect nature of its recording and mix. The "I was there" aspect did not translate well from "movie" to "CD"

The same, thankfully, does not hold true for Rush In Rio. Due partly to weather conditions beyond the band's control, and partly due to a conscious decision made on the part of the band, Rush In Rio, feels more like being at a live concert than any album I have heard to date.

The energy and enthusiasm of 40000 rabid Rush fans is truly captured, and it is evident that the "Boys" fed off the energy of the evening. What you hear, is something that Rush has not been noted for: Emotion.

Emotion, in the fact that this may have been farewell show for the band (thankfully not). Emotion, in the fact that Neil Peart, having overcome great tragedy, reunites with the band and plays his heart out. Emotion, that the band is overwhelmed by the love of the fans that they received on their first ever trip to Brazil.

Rush In Rio, therefore, is not just an album, but a gift back. A gift back to all those rabid fans that experienced a once in a lifetime concert in the torrential tropical rain. A gift to all Rush fans who have stayed true to this band throughout it's 30+ years of performing. And a gift to themselves: a souvenir of a truly special night, never again to be repeated. A slice of life, to cherish and hold on to.

Those who prefer the more glossy live stuff can find nearly the entire setlist on Rush's other albums (All The Worlds A Stage, Exit Stage Left, A Show Of Hands, Different Stages, and the R30 album).

However, for those who wish to have an experience of a single night, with all it's emotion, humanity, and yes even the occasional drowning out by the enormous crowd, this album is for you.

Rush has given us, in Rush In Rio, what few bands have the guts to do. They give us a complete document of one special night, a true concert "on the go" for us to enjoy time and time again, anywhere we please.

For those who wish to have their live music sanitized for their protection, I offer you this advice (My apologies to "The Stooges")

"You can choose to berry pick your live tracks from I-Tunes...I will choose the path that's clear, I will choose RIO".

I WISH I would have read these reviews first!.......2007-06-23

HORRIBLE sound. I came here to see if it was just me or my equipment. This sounds worse than some bootlegs I've heard! All the Worlds a Stage was recorded in 70what?? This is now the 21st century and that 70's live album sounds FAR superior. What a waste of $25. Good setlist.. if you could hear it over the crowd.. and terrible mixing!

Rushing Along The Amazon.......2007-06-10

Rush is one band whose music and lyrics are always superb. Imagine my disappointment when I heard the indifferent sound quality and non-existent mastering. It falls prey to the thing live concerts always do: the giant purple monster: the audience. If those Brazilians had just put a sock in it, maybe we just might have something. I cannot see that in an age of digital recording/mastering that this collection of noise could be seriously released as a high priced album. And I know such live albums has successfully been done: Genesis Seconds Out (1977), U2 Under A Blood Red Sky (1983), Simple Minds Live In The City Of Lights (1990), and your pick of Pink Floyd performances. If these live concerts can sound good with primitive caveman equipment, I wonder what happened. I know: it's the Brazilians that happened. I am sorry I have write such review concerning RUSH, but, if you cannot enjoy something with such price tag, then buyers beware.

confused!.......2007-06-10

When I bought this item, I though that it was going to be a DVD, however, when I played it, it was only a CD. I do love the music but, it was not what I was looking for. Is there a DVD available on "RUSH IN RIO"? If so, I would really be interested. Thank you!

Rush in Rio needs a major Redo.......2007-05-23

The last reviewer wrote a review back in 2003, and I'm writing this now in the hopes that the audio on this CD can be remixed to be as good as the audio on the DVD.
Oddly enough their new CD Snakes and Arrows is mixed just as badly as this one is. If you like your music muddy, crowded, and sounding musically claustrophopic and dreadful, then buy this CD and Snakes and Arrows.
Rush is one of the best progressive bands ever to make music and it is a disservice to not be able to hear the music clearly. A remix/remaster as soon as possible will reinvigorate this CD. I don't know what they were thinking when they mixed and mastered these discs for release in 2003, but make this right, now.

last tango in rio.......2007-05-25

There are a least two songs on this CD that are totally outstanding.Some of the most romantic melodies that I have ever heard. I play these songs over and over... When are you going to make another CD Gabriella ?

There's been some thieving going on.......2007-04-11

I don't know who stole from who first, but at least four of Gabriela Anders songs have arrangements and music lifted directly from Bebel Gilberto's Tanto Tempo and Tanto Tempo remixed CDs. One song sounding alike is a coincidence, but four? Either they share a lazy producer, or...

The Claudine Longet of Bossa Jazz Has Arrived!.......2006-09-28

Anders'first album was a DNA match for Sade, but much more for the songs, band and arrangements than for her just barely on-key voice. I must give props for taste here, as the the players on this and the last Anders CDs are first-rate, and they groove wonderfully. However, if Gabriella Anders didn't look like she does (she's gorgeous!), she'd be playing a Holiday Inn in Yonkers. I gave the CD 3 stars, 1 for Anders and 5 for her Way-Out-Of-Her-League band.

The album Norah Jones can only dream of making...........2005-06-27

The very attractive album is the first I have ever heard from Gabriela Anders. It makes for very enjoyable listening on two levels - quietly and at a much louder volume.

Ms Anders has a very pleasant Jazz styled voice and her singing is relentlessly sensuous! (whatever THAT means! ;-))
Gabriela Anders' instrumental ensemble adopts a very suave and low key Latin approach. There is some very tasteful acoustic guitar, keyboard and accordion playing on this album. Some nice random ambient elements also keep the instrumental aspect of this album agreeably and tastefully "left of centre".

Needless to say, this the sort of thing that Robot-of-Romance, Norah Jones, was probably trying to do on her hapless first album. Gabriela Anders is the real thing and a 'class act' unlike her aforementioned peer. Last Tango in Rio is ideal late night listening - with a glass of wine, candle light and someone you fancy!

Less smooth jazz, more tango ... works for me!.......2005-03-13

Gabriela boldly steps away from the more smoooth-jazz style that marked her 1998 WANTING CD. While the earlier album is unlikely to appeal to those who are looking for more progressive sounds (e.g., contemporary Brazilian, acid/jazz groove, etc.). LAST TANGO IN RIO gives Anders' softly emotive voice a more intriguing context. One could argue whether or not she was previously miscast as a smooth jazz singer, but in my opinion if she wants to distinguish herself as an artist, it is going to be via a musical approach such as what is heard here. The presence of such instruments as the bandoneon may win over fans of the likes of contemporary tango group GOTAN PROJECT, while the mixture of acoustic and electric instrumentation -- even with subtle electronica effects at times -- bridges the past with the present effectively. Throughout, RIO has a considerably more homegrown feel than the studio-polished WANTING.

In reading previous reviews I noticed one reviewer who first heard of this album in the L.A. TIMES as I did, but was not happy with the results. While I'm a satisfied customer, this disc may not be for those who are looking for a more traditional jazz vocal approach. Granted, there is a perhaps-confusing "FILE UNDER: JAZZ" reminder on the back cover. Yet Anders' style is much more in line with the current generation of Brazilian singers (Bebel Gilberto, etc.) than with most so-called jazz singers. RIO is nothing like Diana Krall's albums of pop standards, for one. While Anders does interpret a number of pop classics that jazz vocalists have frequently turned to ("Love Is Here To Stay," "Body And Soul"), they are reconfigured to fit Anders' style. The difference is particularly striking on "God Bless The Child," which in my opinion is one of the album's highlights but may be too big of a change for some. To each their own, and in my case RIO is much more in line with what I want to hear than the other Anders album I mentioned.

Recorded during Iron Maiden's headlining 2001 performance at the Rio Rock Festival, this double CD finds the legendary metal outfit in fearsome form. Revitalized thanks to the return of original singer Bruce Dickinson for 2000's Brave New World, the one-time East London bar band clearly relishes tearing through old and choice new songs in front of 250,000 people--the biggest crowd they'd ever seen. This is traditional metal at its squealing, pummeling best. Established classics like "Wrathchild" and "Two Minutes to Midnight" reemphasize all that is unashamedly great about proper heavy metal, including the rock-solid riffing, the brick-outhouse rhythms, and the outrageous solos. The early 1980s hits "Number of the Beast" and "Run to the Hills" prove that Iron Maiden can deliver a sing-along chorus that will rattle around the inside of your skull for hours, if not days. What really makes Rock in Rio, though, is the near studio-quality production and the rabid reaction of the South American throng, who do their best to drown out the band. Here is proof, if any is needed, that Dickinson and company are up there with the rock greats. --Ian Watson

I THOUGHT TO MYSELF "BIG DEAL ANOTHER LIVE MAIDEN CD" WRONG!!!! "ROCK IN RIO" BELONGS WITH "LIVE AFTER DEATH" PERFORMANCE WISE. .......2007-06-13

I have to admit this live Maiden album surprised me at how good it really is. The thing that amazes me is how a crowd of 250,000 people sang along with Bruce and sounds so damn good. Usually when a crowd sings along with a live band performance it totally blows, but with Rio I was totally amazed at how well Bruce and the Maiden pulled this off. Bruce Dickinsons vocals are ripe and blistering. There is alot of "Brave New World" material on this cd, because "Brave New World" was released several months before this January 2001 "Rio" show. "Brave New World" was new and fresh so alot of material from this BNW was played on this Rio cd. The early 1980s songs were performed beautifully. There were also three guitar players on this Rio cd. Believe me Maiden needed three guitar players to pull of some these excellent live song performances. Bruce performs "The Clansman" and "Sign Of The Cross", believe me Bruce sang this Blaze material really well, and actually sounds better than Blaze himself. Whatever Blaze lacked in the vocal range in these two songs Bruce more than adequetly filled in, and it shows when you hear these two songs performed on this "Rio" cd. The only thing that annoyed me, there was no "Wasted Years". After all these years Maiden still got that great live performance magic. I did'nt think Rio would be so good, I have to admitt this Rio cd rocks. Any metal hard or rock fan should own "Rock in Rio" along with "Live After Death"

Iron Maiden - 'Rock In Rio' (Sony).......2006-09-29

Review no.105.'Rock In Rio' is a good 2-CD,21 track live audio document of Iron Maiden playing to a crowd of reportedly a quarter of a million(supposedly their largest crowd ever)at the 2001 Rio Rock Festival.Nice to see the return of frontman/vocalist Bruce Dickenson. Tunes I liked experiencing once again were the the title cut from their new (at the time) CD,"Brave New World","2 Minutes To Midnight","Trooper","The Evil That Men Do",the band's namesake "Iron Maiden","Number Of The Beast" and of course "Run To The Hills".I saw Maiden earlier on this very tour and I remember other fans complaining they didn't play ENOUGH older material. Actually,I myself thought they performed an extremely well balanced set. Great cover,no?

Watching it is another experience all together.......2006-01-11

If you get this live album, you will soon thirst to see, own and feast on the DVD.

Enjoy!!

Scrrrrream for me Brazil!!!! .......2005-12-06

Holy crap!! With the 2 last great studio albums, Maiden put out another excellent live album. This live album is the proof that the modern Maiden is just good as the 80's Maiden and that even these days they can still crank metal that is actually metal. This live album is easily Maiden's best, even better than 'Live After Death' (which kicked ass as well), and I'll tell you why.

Some reviewers here claim that LAD was better because that had the best tracklist, but c'mon, what do you wan't them to do, to make 5 live albums with the same tracklist?
Other complain that it has nothing from the late 80's albums except for 'The Evil Men That Do', and even this sounds better here. I was surprised to not see 'Wasted Years' or 'Heaven Can Wait' here, but 'Somewhere in Time' is actually my least favorite IM album from the 80's so it doesn't really bother me.
Here you have what the 90's songs lacked, and this is Bruce vocals and Adrian's killer solos. My favorite track here is 'Fear of the Dark', and it is the best version ever made to this song, with Adrian's solo. 'Sign of the Cross' is also much better than the studio version, Blaze sang this well but Bruce did it better.
Most of the early 80's songs sound better on LAD with the exception of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' and 'Run to the Hills', because of Bruce vocals, but the still kick here.
There is also 3 guitarists, and believe me, it helps here. And there is also double bass drumming, which wasn't on LAD, and that really helps in tracks like 'Hallowed be thy Name', but this song still sounds at its best in the studio.
There are some songs that sound even better live like those I listed above, but as well 'Blood Brothers', 'Ghost of the Navigator', 'Clansman' and 'Run to the Hills'.
The production is also good, although on LAD it was better but slightly. It's certainly better than the production crap on 'Live at Donington' and 'Real Live Dead One'.
If I have any complaints, it should be as people said, there are too much songs from 'Brave New World', there should be more songs from 'Powerslave' (the best metal album ever, period). The only 2 tracks I was dissapointed with are '2 Minutes to Midnight', and 'Wrathchild', they sound at their best in the studio and here the vocals don't fit the instruments.

If you like live concerts and Maiden and don't have this, get it now. Don't waste your money on Metallica's or Linkin Park's concerts (Metallica has good stuff, but today their concerts just blow), Maiden destroys them live (and LP in the studio, IM can get away without a DJ and millions of synthersizers to enhance their sound).

Still kicking out the jams!.......2005-11-11

I really like this album. Hearing the crowd sing along to all of these songs is nearly worth the price alone. I will say that I tend to listen to the second disc more often than the first one. I also skip Dream of Mirrors. That is the first song on the second disc, and I have not been able to get into it. I thoroughly enjoy hearing Bruce sing The Clansman, a song that was originally recorded with their other singer (gasp!). The Number of The Beast on this album is simply amazing!. This album is definitely worth the price.

great music bad presentation.......2005-06-08

There is no doubt that the music in this so called boxed set is very good and for further info I humbly refer you to previous reviews. My disapointment comes in the destruction of the artist concept and display of the product. After reading the reviews I realized that most of you recall the album release, the albums came in a box format hence the title. But i do not know if the same people recall the original release of the cd which came in a clam shell box cleverly reproducing the album presentation. What is being past as a box is now a jewel case inside a flimsy slip cover the title should now be changed to Mike Oldfield jeweled cased.

A Must for Oldfield Fans.......2004-02-27

I have to say it... this is one of the best showcases of Mike's earlier work. This remixed version of "Tubular Bells" was created as a way to convince Mike that a quadraphonic mix should be created and released. Mike listened and proclaimed it perfect as was, so it was released. The original version, compared to this remix, sounded cluttered and confused. Also, the original American quad pressing, using the CD-4 system as opposed to the SQ format used in England, was marred by a very poor quality pressing. Contrary to what was said in the booklet accompanying this box set in CD, the recordings held on these discs are, in fact, SQ quad despite claims otherwise. I also have the LP set, and I directly compared them. So if you have a Dolby Pro Logic II setting on your playback system, by all means use it. The mix of "Ommadawn" is the same as was originally released on both SQ and QS quad versions in England, and on SQ here. The first part contains a chant, by Clodagh Simonds, that builds up toward the conclusion. Played back in surround, this chant takes on an etherial quality; Clodagh's voice suspended in mid-air as the additional instruments gradually come in. This is lost in the stereo mix, which I also have on another CD. "Hergest Ridge" features a musical tone poem, as it could be described, of where Mike was brought up. The shorter selections in the "Collaborations" album are also quite good. "In Dulci Jubilo", which is a Christmas song, takes on a highland fling style. As for "Speak", it's a duet with Mike and David Bedford on the vocals. This is a great box set, and I encourage any true Mike Oldfield fan to add it to their collection.

Gives a new light on early Oldfield's recordings.......2003-08-06

This is a must have for real Oldfield's fan..."Ommadawn", "Hergest ridge" and "Tubular bells" are his classic works, here they come along in slightly different versions and unreleased songs...The songs are really interesting especially delicate piano tune "Speak..." with vocals by Mike and beautifull "first excursion", that signals a beginning of "Incantations" era....
"Tubular bells" has a bit different sound from original and it features diffrrent ending - very funny "sailor's hornipipe" version with crazy commentary by Drunken Vivian Stanhall (master of ceremony in part 1) - a very nice suprise...
If you are a big fan of Early progressive and instrumental music,or just a Mike Oldfield fan this is a must have for you - it is also good for those fans that don't have internet to collect Mike's rare songs...

Mike and Me.......2003-04-05

Like most people, I suppose, first became aware of Mike Oldfield when THE EXORCIST first came out. Those haunting strains from TUBULAR BELLS really affected me when I saw the film lo these many yuears ago and again when I bought the album. I hyave owned that one in just about every format possible from Long Playing Record through Cassette tape to midi file and now on CD thanks to this beautiful set. A set which also features HERGEST RIDGE, OMMADAWN (another GREAT Mike Oldfield composition btw) and an album of collaborations. Unlike the LP version (which I have also owned of this boxed set) the cd boxed splits the collaborations on to the three cds that contain his first three albums. This seems to me a better way to hear them then all piled together on a separate cd the way they were with the record. They seem to complete the listening experience one has when one puts a Mike Oldfield work into one's cd player one soon notices that---whatever one is listening to: Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn...whatever---it's just not long enough. One wants the listening experience to continue..or, at least, one wants a few encores. And that's what you get here. What can I say, kids? BUY IT!!!

Superb.......2003-01-31

I was thrilled to see that this was available. I had to get my copy through a friend in England.

This CD set is an excellent collection of Oldfield's early work, and the re-mix on Tubular Bells (including the original Sailor's Hornpipe, as opposed to the toned down version used for the original American release) is hysterical (but a bit blind-siding if you're very familiar with the original -- first time I listened to it I almost pulled the needle off the LP so I could check the LP for problems).

Well worth the money, as among other things it includes Hergest Ridge, which is hard to find.

Dimitri Tiomkin was one of the most prominent composers of Hollywood's Golden Age and beyond, his career spanning a half-century and some of America's most classic films. This sprawling, four-disc anthology (its title a marketing nod to the modern remake of one of Tiomkin's notable collaborations with John Wayne) features new digital recordings of full-bodied performances by the City of Prague Orchestra and Festival Chorus, the most ambitious and comprehensive tribute to the composer yet attempted. There's something here for film score buffs (rarities like a suite from his sci-fi genre-defining Thing From Another World and the "Main Theme" for the pilot of TV's Wild, Wild West) and novice alike; indeed one could scarcely ask for a more complete overview of Tiomkin's robust orchestral oeuvre. Divided into four chapters, disc one chronicles how the Ukrainian immigrant concocted a rich Western film heritage (including such genre landmarks as Red River, High Noon, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and Rio Bravo) from largely European traditions, while the next two CD's cover his rousing work for epics and thrillers of every stripe, and collaborations with Hitchcock, Wayne, Capra, Stevens and more. The concluding disc pays homage to Tiomkin the unlikely pop tunesmith, via his hit vocal themes to Rawhide, Wild is the Wind and High Noon's "Do Not Forsake Me." --Jerry McCulley

More expensive than the other Essential but worth it........2007-04-22

This is an excellent set of music of Dimitri Tiomkin's music! The 4th disc is short (at just over 30 minutes), but thats because it is just the vocal versions of tracks which appeared in instrumental form throughout the first 3 discs. Whenever you buy a silva screen compilation, the first thing you ask yourself is 'when were these recordings made' and 'do I have these tracks on other compilations? Thankfully, this set has TONS of new recordings, but there is some recycled stuff and they are as follows:

Dial M For Murder is from the 1993 History of Hitchcock Vol. I, while Strangers on a Train is from 1995's History of Hitchcock Vol. II.

Excellent compilation of an important composer........2004-07-16

This long overdue collection of Tiomkin standards and rarities is a must for any fan of symphonic music; albeit, for film or concert hall. As the liner notes clarify; these recordings are a real labor of love for James Fitzpatrick and the Silva Screen team. Tiomkin is; undoubtedly, one of the most difficult of composers to replicate. This recording comes extremely close to "hitting the nail on the head" particularly with tracks such as: "Across the Texas Panhandle" from the Unforgiven, The Entr'acte from Duel in the Sun, The Guns of Navarone, The War Wagon, and the main title and Jett Rink theme from Giant. This recording is a bargain, particularly for collectors who have sought after many of Tiomkin's composer conducted soundtracks (which are getting harder and harder to obtain). Listeners who enjoy this set should consider seeking out previous cd releases of the soundtracks to "The Guns of Navarone" (SONY, Varese Sarabande), "The Fall of the Roman Empire" (Varese Sarabande, PEG), "55 Days at Peking" (Varese Sarabande), and "The Alamo" :original soundtrack (still available on SONY-Legacy).

"film composer Dimitri Tiomkin gave his all and then some".......2004-07-13

Silva America presents the ultimate in film music during the illustrious career of an icon and legendary composer of film scores ~ "Alamo:Dimitri Tiomkin Essential Film Collection/O.S.T", featuring some long forgotten 53 cues that sent chills and thrills into the pulses of world events ~ selections from a limited collectors edition that would make any "film-score-buff" green with envy.

Tiomkin was born in Ukraine, Russia [1894-1979] attended and graduated from St. Petersburg Academy[studied under the famed composer Glazunov] ~ had a degree in music as well as law ~ came to America in 1925, shown great interest for Native American music early in his film career.

Great fondness for "The Western" ~ "DUEL IN THE SUN" (1946) (Gregory Peck, Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotton, Lionel Barrymore, Lilian Gish and Charles Bickford - one of biggest and successful epic Westerns ever, score & photography was simply breathtaking), "RED RIVER" (1948) (John Wayne, Monty Cliff and Walter Brennan - the Duke should have won an Oscar for his performance as the aging cantankerous cattle baron)"HIGH NOON" (1952)(classic film with Gary Cooper in his Oscar winning performance of Will Kane), "TENSION AT TABLE ROCK" (1956), "GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL" (1957)(Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp & Kirk Douglas as Doc Holliday pulled this off with the help of the Main Theme), "NIGHT PASSAGE" (1957), "RIO BRAVO" (1959) (top box office leaders John Wayne, Dean Martin, Walter Brennan and Ricky Nelson), "THE YOUNG LAND" (1959) (young Dennis Hopper), "RAWHIDE" (TV Series) (1959-66) (Eric Fleming as trail boss Gil Favor & Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates), "THE UNFORGIVEN" (1960) (Burt Lancaster, Audie Murphy and Audrey Hepburn), "THE WILD, WILD WEST" (TV Series) (1965-69)(Tiomkin's music never saw the light of day), "WAR WAGON" (1967) (John Wayne & Kirk Douglas starred) (beautifully melodic) ~ it's easy to see why Tiomkin loved Western lore.

Second disc contains The Epics ~ "LAND OF THE PHARAOHS" (1955) (Jack Hawkins as Pharaoh Cheops and a beautiful Joan Collins as his scheming wife), "55 DAYS AT PEKING" (1963) (Charlton Heston, David Niven and Ava Gardner is the all star cast), "THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE" (1964) (featuring Alec Guinness as emperor Marcus Aurelius), "CIRCUS WORLD" (1964) (John Wayne, Claudia Cardinale and Rita Hayworth under the big top) ~ next we Hitchcock Thrillers with "STRANGERS ON A TRAIN" (1951) (a masterpiece film featuring Robert Walker and Farley Granger are both very convincing as we learn, never talked to strangers on a train or anywhere), "DIAL M FOR MURDER" (1954) (tense moments come from Grace Kelly, Ray Milland and Robert Cummings - they don't get any better than this) ~ finally Drama and High Adventure with "HIGH AND MIGHTY" (1954) (another outstanding performance by John Wayne, as the co-pilot of an airline whistling the haunting theme), "GIANT" (1956)(another big epic film with Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean and Chill Wills show us what it's like to be a Texan, with oil and money), "WILD IS THE WIND" (1957) (Anthony Quinn, Anna Magnani and Anthony Franciosa), "THE GUNS OF NAVARONE" (1961) (World War II film featuring Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, David Niven and Stanley Baker on a small Greek Island trying to outwit the Germans and a very big gun) ~ some of Tiomkin's most inspiring themes rise to the surface.

On disc three ~ as we continue with Drama and High Adventures "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" (1946) (James Stewart, Donna Reed, Thomas Mitchell, Lionel Barrymore and Ward Bond with wholesome warm and endearing themes from our favorite composer), "TARZAN AND THE MERMAIDS" (1948) (in his 12th film as Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller still had what it takes to swim and defeat the man-god Balu - Weissmuller and Tiomkin the perfect combination for this Tarzan adventure), "CYRANO DE BERGERAC" (1950) (Jose Ferrer stars as Edmond Rostand's famous swordsman with a even more famous nose), "THE WELL" (1951) (intense cues give the film musical triumphs in final scenes), "THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD" (1951) (exciting Howard Hawks film with a score to match), "FRIENDLY PERSUASION" (1956) (director William Wyler shows the life and times of a Quaker family played by Gary Cooper, Dorothy Mcguire and Anthony Perkins during the American Civil War, very touching), "THE ALAMO" (1960) (big budget epic western with Big John Wayne it's producer, director and star as Davy Crockett with a haunting and never to be forgotten "The Green Leaves of Summer"), "TOWN WITHOUT PITY" (1961) (Kirk Douglas in a post-war Germany story, blends jazz themes with Tiomkin signature arrangements) ~ Tiomkin always made the difference when it came to scoring a film.

The last and final disc four ~ The Tiomkin Vocal Songbook featuring "This Then is Texas" (Giant), "Rawhide" (Rawhide), "Do Not Forsake Me" (High Noon), "Follow the River" (Night Passage), "The Ballad of Jett Rink" (Giant), "Thee I Love" (Friendly Percuasion), "It's A Wonderful Life", "Wild Is The Wind", "The High and the Mighty", The Ballad of the War Wagon" (The War Wagon), "Rio Bravo", "Strange are the Ways of Love" (The Young Land), "The Ballad of Jim West" (The Wild Wild West), "The Wild Wild West" (The Wild Wild West) ~ many were hit makers of the day and in the top ten.

Outstanding performances by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (Nic Raine, Paul Bateman, Mario Klemens - are the conductors), Crouch End Festival Chorus (David Temple - choir master), featuring vocals by Jason Howard and Keith Ferreira ~ hats off to James Fitzpatrick (producer), Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Olilvia Tiomkin Douglas, John Waxman, Rick Clark and Gareth Williams (associate producers) ~ all film producers and directors welcomed the legendary composer with open arms for their forthcoming projects ~ the "film-score-buff" collectors are ecstatic about this four disc release on the essential film music collection of DIMITRI TIOMKIN, the arrangements and performances are top notch inclusive of HDCD/Dolby Surround.

When listening to the music of a film, you had the feeling of the storyline, characters and convictions of the whole picture, they'll never be another to come this way again ~ Silva America has outdone themselves on this one, it is definitely a five star film score box set...gotta love it!

Fun and Refreshing.......2006-03-05

I purchased this CD on a whim, and I was absolutely shocked when I got to track #4- "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel," by the cast of "Hairspray." I loved the upbeat humor, and as the song progressed, I realized I'd heard this version before- it was on South Park! I could not BELIEVE what I was hearing, but I completely adored it. As I listened through the rest of the 2-CD set, I concluded it would undoubtedly be one of my favorite holiday albums. It was a wonderful combination of traditional renditions, such as a beautiful "O Holy Night" performed by the cast of "Rent" and new, humorous songs, including "Too Fat to Fit" by the cast of "The Producers" which was had a personality reminiscent of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," "Angelo Rosenbaum," sung by Thom Christopher Warren of "Lion King," and "Sing Out" by the cast of "Gypsy."

Overall, the CD set was a wonderful surprise; I had expected a 2 CD set filled with well-sung music, but I was rewarded with a compilation as diverse as peoples' view of the holidays, ranging from the somber expression of religious value to the whimsical, with a jab at the commercial attitude in the middle!

Product Description

APOCALYPSE has been the first Brazilian band signed by Musea for a new record. Released at the end of the Eighties, "Lendas Encantadas" (1989) revealed an exceptional band playing Progressive rock music full of energy, obviously inspired by MARILLION. The reissue includes four bonus-tracks recorded in 1996. The second album "Perto Do Amanhecer" (1995) proves to be in the same vein, but even better ! These twelve concise pieces mix peaceful acoustic moments with more agressive and nearly hard-rock passages. And the Portuguese singing gives the music an exotic and very nice touch. Discover the warmth of this sunny music, when admiring the superb pictures included in the booklet. "Aurora Dos Sonhos" (1996) displays a luxurious Progressive rock music, halfway between influences from the Italian school from the Seventies (BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI, QUELLA VECCHIA LOCANDA) and the recent neo Progressive efficiency. A successful and subtle mixing. "Refugio" (2003) includes ten tracks (Plus two bonus tracks) and a fantastic booklet with photos, lyrics and information about the band. More than the usual quality Progressive rock with symphonic influences, it delivers us those forgotten feelings like peace, love and compassion. It is, undoubtly, an album worth listening to ! "Live In Rio" features the band performing in the Rio ArtRock Festival 2005. That's the occasion to discover a new repertoire, as well as old tracks sung by the newcomer Gustavo DEMARCHI. His particularity is to sing in English, unlike his predecessor. Thanks to this, the music sounds more neo Progresive than ever ! One hour and a quarter of music you cannot afford to miss !

Customer Reviews:

Absolutely brilliant!.......2003-04-16

Wow! Maiden gig at Rock in Rio must be one of the best live albums maiden ever recorded (yes, even better than Live After Death). The return of Bruce to lead singing, 3 guitars, awesome sound, great crowd... Not to mention the 2 videos that you can play on your PC after experiencing the music. The video on the second disc is really fun to watch. Better than this, just the DVD. This is a must-have. You won't regret it! :)

Best Live Maiden Since Live After Death.......2002-11-04

Iron Maiden has always been strong in the studio; but live is their forte. Even though they have released live material via A REAL LIVE/DEAD ONE many agree that they never captured the immortal performance of Live After Death. Well Rock in Rio nails it. With 3 guitars and a power not seen since Maiden's glory days, this album will prove that Maiden are back on top. You can spring for the DVD and see it unfold; but the live album is a great compliment. It's crisp, clear and has probably the best live engineering that you can get. New to Maiden makes a great compilation; Maiden fan and you haven't gotten it yet what are you waiting for. I caught the BNW show in Ohio and this is exactly what I heard, same set. So if you have never caught Maiden live this will help until the next tour comes along. Try and find this album with the rare LITHOGRAPH it's a Maiden treasure. Both the CD/DVD are great for your collection. UP THE IRONS.
