5 out of 5 stars Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

5 out of 5 stars Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

5 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

3 out of 5 stars Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

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.

This is the one that got the Grammy. Excellent music. Specilly for guitar lovers like me.

5 out of 5 stars Spirited, fiery, gorgeous, soulful 'neo-flamenco' guitar HEAVEN!.......2006-02-15

Strunz & Farah are INCREDIBLE, masterful guitarists! If you like Latin, Meditteranean, Flamenco, etc. nylon string acoustic guitar, you will LOVE these guys! Jorge Strunz hails from Costa Rica, and Ardeshir Farah from Iran. The eclectic beautiful guitar sound is 'Latin meets Middle Eastern', and if this gorgeous playing doesn't touch your soul, you are an automaton! The guitar playing is highly soulful, passionate, and emotional. Acoustic guitar doesn't get any better than this! Clockwork performance!

5 out of 5 stars A Gifted Acoustic Guitar Duo Make Primal Magic.......2005-05-08

The dynamite guitar duo Jorge Strunz and Ardeshir Farah make musical magic and create a wonderful new, high energy sound for the acoustic guitar. Costa Rican Strunz's and Iranian born Farah's fusion of Middle Eastern, Latin American and Mediterranean music is simply outstanding. I had mentioned to a friend how much I enjoy the Gipsy Kings. He proceeded to play "Primal Magic" for me, which I immediately bought - my first Strunz and Farah album. While not the same mixture of Flamenco and Spanish the Kings produce, there is a certain quality in these exotic instrumental cuts that is somewhat reminiscent of their style - perhaps the Mediterranean influence with a wild touch of the gypsy.

"Huixamatli" (Luna Llena), with its enticing, indigenous sound of ancient Mexico and exotic percussion, is one of my favorite tracks, as is the Andean cueca "Zumba," and "Twilight at the Zuq" with it's Near Eastern rhythms. "Anochecer" is more nuevo flamenco and one can hear calls of tropical birds and the voices of the rainforest and river, in "Amazonas." "Rainmaker is a fabulous cut with Mexican vocalist and percussionist Ixonztli performing a traditional chant.

I love this award-winning CD, one of my favorites and highly recommend it, especially to those who love the sound of acoustic guitar and world music.

5 out of 5 stars Magic of Flamenco!.......2003-10-06

We come across scores of musical pieces/songs that evoke memories of the good times or make us melancholy, yet, there are other types of music which can induce sheer energy into our system and titillate our inner most feelings. The type we call "nourishment for the soul". Primal Magic by the duo Strunz and Farah positively belongs to the later type.

The original recording was done in digital domain, however the editing which followed was performed with Analogue equipment. This resulted in a perfect marriage between Digital and Analogue. The sound is open, detailed, free from digital harshness, and in one word "CLEAN". The instruments in the mix are as distinct as they can be. If one wishes to concentrate on a single instrument it would not be difficult to pinpoint its position on a good system. The separation of the two channels is superb. My head was going from left to right listening to the two guitarists performing on each channel, as if I was attending the final at the Wimbledon.

After listening to this album one cannot help but want to give a standing ovation (even if you are alone in the room) for the mind boggling tempo that these two virtuoso's cook up, with an equally interesting melody and to top it off, manage intricately woven complex rhythm patterns all at the same time. A feat few have managed to achieve no matter what music genre they belong to.

5 out of 5 stars How do you Spell Magic?.......2001-07-13

Strunz & Farah are truly magic in everysense of the word. I bought this CD to complete by catalog of S&F and I can't stop listening to it. It is very upbeat and I really got into the last track. I believe they may have won a Grammy for this one, I think. If so, it was well deserved. Buy this disc, or even better, buy their whole catalog. You won't be sorry.

5 out of 5 stars THIS ALBUM IS A WINNER !!!!!!.......2005-02-20

I usually don't write reviews, but when I heard this album, I just had to have it. I do a lot of traveling and this album is my favorite for any road, train, bus or airplane trip. It really kicks buttox!!! It's blend of Mediteranian music is beautiful...I can't wait to get his long overdue next album. I have to travel really light, and this album had literally been around the world. It is one of my limited twenty music cd's I pack on my extended backpacking trips in Thailand, Burma (Mayanmar), Australia, Spain, and the many other distant parts of the globe. I share this music with a lot of people in many countries, and I just love the smiles on the peoples faces. Everyone wants a copy!!! I wish I knew of other musicians of his caliber of the "International" genre. Every tract on this CD is great!!! If you know of any other musicians of his caliber, drop me a line...rogue@mentor2000.com and I'll buy it!!
Best of Luck and ENJOY.

4 out of 5 stars Not Bad.......2004-12-05

It's no Nomad, but the gypsy flavor is strongly apparent in this enjoyable CD. again, he's no Jesse Cook, and no Gypsy King either, but it is flavorful and catchy. i'd give it a three for replayabilty, but a one on favoritisim.

5 out of 5 stars Jesse Cook's Nomad CD is incomparable to you.......2003-11-03

I have been a fan of Jesse Cook but after listening to Eric Fernandez's cd, he's beaten Jese Cook's new Nomad CD by a long shot!

5 out of 5 stars Magnificent!!!!!.......2003-04-14

This album is simply brilliant!!!! Each song is very unique, and the blends of different genres of musical styles is simply phenomenal!!! Bravo, Eric!!! Please, please come out with another album!!!! I bought this album simply on a whim in a Colorado airport after vacationing in Tucson, Arizona. It's one of the best albums I own! Its music is exquisitely sensual - makes your spirit want to come alive!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!!.......2002-07-21

I love this music! When I first heard it, I thought it was Gypsy Kings. Close your eyes and listen to how beautiful each piece is.
Every cut is just as good as the one before. I highly recommend this CD. I hope Eric comes out with something else soon.

4 out of 5 stars MOVE OVER GIPSY KINGS!.......1999-03-12

These guys are absolutely incredible the way they exchange solos throughout a song; you can hardly tell when the transition from one guitarist to the other occurs, except after many listenings. The only reason I did not give this album 5 stars is because I feel that another of their albums, "Americas" is an absolute masterpiece. That album which isn't listed here, is one of my top all-time albums of any type. Play it for guests, play it for yourself, play it for those moments with that special someone; any which way, you will love the album.

5 out of 5 stars Struz and Farah - Fantastic New Age Flamenco!!!!.......1999-02-11

Strunz and Farah reach in and touch you in every way, this cd will make you feel great and will also soothe you when you've had a bad day. I especially like the Latin/Middle eastern flair it presents.Track 8 "Tierra Verde", is magnificent! I recommend any of their cd's, but this one has a place in my heart.

          Album Description

          Belomancy is defined as a divination anciently practiced by the greek and arab people in which arrows were thrown in the air and depending on how and where these landed was the course to be taken by the inquirer. Djilia Phralengo - Belomancy is an approach to flamenco that evolves from traditional Gypsy music into a fusion of new age, celtic, and acoustic nylon and steel-string flare, emphasizing on vocals and guitar leads with backing orchestral strings and strong rhythmic flamenco strumming.

          5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Entrancing!.......2003-09-03

          I had the incredible pleasure of hearing Djilia Phralengo at the 2003 Michigan Renaissance Festival. From the very first notes that crossed my ear, I was entranced. This music is an amazing artistic creation fusing several different sounds into what is at the base Flamenco music. I know that every time I put the CD into the player, it becomes very difficult to merely sit and listen. The music delves right into your core, and makes your feet itch to dance. Anyone who wishes to hear some fantastic music, get this album! Or, if you read this early enough, come see them at the Michigan Renaissance Festival!

          5 out of 5 stars What a wonderful CD.......2003-08-26

          Djilia Phralengo (Songs of the Brothers) is a wonderful CD. The stringed instruments blend together in a flawless and magicical explosion of hand clapping gaity that both sooths and excites. I saw this group at the 2003 Michigan Renaissance Festival and they were extremely impressive. Their CD does not dissapoint in any way! 2 more members are slated to join the group and that will add mandolin and another guitar, as if this group wasn't strong enough. WOW!
          I love Celtic music as well as guitar. You guys are a success in my book!
