5 out of 5 stars A Music Score Benchmark.......2006-07-15

This soundtrack is one of my continuing favorites. I tell you that for film scores, this one sets the bar pretty high. Since this soundtrack was released, I have personally used this one as the benchmark test for any new stereo equipment I have purchased. The spectrum of sound included, in the second track in particular, will test the speakers of a new sound system better than many test disks that I've seen. The sound is able to pull you into your mental review of the film more effectively than most other soundtracks out there, with certain exceptions of course. This soundtrack is overall that which many scores fail to be, a musical painting of the film, not just filler music. This is a memorable disk for a memorable film.

3 out of 5 stars Good sound, but themes are redundant.......2005-08-06

I enjoy this CD very much. The music has a sweeping charm and romantisicm to it. My only problem is that this score pretty much consists of two themes, the Rocketeer Theme and Jenny's theme, played over and over again. There's nothing wrong with the two themes, on the contrary they are both very enjoyable, but the CD simply needs more variety.

On a different note, the Cole Porter songs are wonderful for anyone who enjoys his music, and the singer has a sultry voice that's perfect for the selection.

5 out of 5 stars Heroic images.......2004-10-16

Superman and Batman two heroes who get all the movies, toys, cartoons, etc... however with the Rocketeer we can start a new trend. Th Music by Horner fits right in with Superman by Mr. Williams and surpasses Mr. Elfman's work in Batman. on my Mix for heroes I included the Rocketeer as a tune for the golden Age Green lantern The Current GL has the Last Starfighter The Rocketeer is a thrilling adventure of the likes we just dont see any more The Music by Mr. Horner frames it and matches the spirit of it all so perfectly. you could have the worst day of your life and yet feel like a million bucks after listening to this sweeping score!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Score! One of Horner's best........2004-10-09

Since he wrote the score for Braveheart and won an Oscar for Titanic, James Horner has been among the most disappointing of film composers. His works have been highly derivative and this often makes the listener deride the composer for his lack of so-called talent. The Rocketeer proves te depth of Mr. Horner's talent. It's sweeping melodic main theme is a perfect counterpoint to the theme of flight running throughout the movie. His love theme is a classic old fashioned melody that perfectly fits with the movie and his use of the piano to subtly bring out the movie is totally fantastic. The Rocketeer is among the best of James Horner's works and is one of his most enjoyable scores. His work is truly a masterpiece. While the movie's special effects may seem dated, Horner's score is immortal and shows just how beautiful his music is when he writes original music.

5 out of 5 stars The Rocketeer: Another great James Horner score.......2003-08-02

After "Krull" this is my favourite James Horner score. The main theme is brilliant and there is a good balance between action music and slow music. Some tracks contain the "suspense/bass motif" from "Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan". Horner uses this motif often in his work, I like that.
My favourite track is "The Flying Circus", a fantastic action cue. (The bass-trombone is great!!)
The track "Jenny" is very beautiful, and one of Horner's best love-themes ever.
There are also two jazzy songs on the album. I think they are very good.
If you are a fan of James Horner, or you like Star Trek II, you might enjoy this cd very much.

5 out of 5 stars We love this C.D.!.......2005-04-03

We received the Baby Cello C.D. as a gift, and my husband and I just love it. The music is truly moving in the most uplifting way, and the songs chosen are just beautiful; not at all stuffy. The true test was when our two-year-old, who had not had a nap all day, got completely wired and still would not go to sleep after 10 p.m. She screamed for 20 minutes as we tried to get her down, until I put Baby Cello on, and the screaming stopped instantaneously! She went to sleep to the C.D. without another wimper! We highly recommend Baby Cello for parents and babies alike, and have bought it for other parents with babies that we know. It uplifts, as well as soothes, depending upon what time of day we put it on, and it serves as wonderful dinner music as well. We can't imagine anyone not loving this C.D.! A.and J. Pieri, Albany,CA

5 out of 5 stars Glorious sound.......2005-01-23

I am so pleased with Baby Cello. The sound of this music is utterly glorious. Soothing doesn't begin to describe it. My 2 year old and I love listening to it at all times of day.

Most of the tracks were excellent but some were a bit long winded.Tracks by Spencer Wyatt best on the disc and made it all worth while.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent olio of music styles.......2007-02-23

Do you like ethereal New Age? Gotcha covered. Does Boogie piano get your toes a-tappin'? Check. Is Swing more your thing? It's here. All fine reasons to add this sound track to your music collection. As for the movie, I like to think it Carrey's best work. The man has the most expressive face in Moviedom. Regarding the story, it's set in the early Fifties during the rabid Communist scaremongering headed by Senator Joseph McCarthy. One result was the blacklisting of suspected Communists and sympathizers in liberal Hollywood, of which our protagonist Peter Appleton became a victim.

5 out of 5 stars This movie is a slam dunk.......2006-10-29

To hear the roar of the crowd as the player goes in to slam dunk the basketball in the professional sports arenas,this film equals those thrills for the audience as Jim Carrey (Luke Trimble)takes us through the mind of someone that has amnesia and unwittingly becomes the hometown war hero set in 1945 period. Stars abound in this film like character actors Martin Landau and James Wittemore.Boy meets girl,they fall in love,then a twist in the plot as Peter Appleton (Jim Carrey) is accused of being a communist,similar to the Army McCarthy hearings for those old enough to remember.It all turns out like everyone wants.....Ed Lynch 10/29/06

4 out of 5 stars Boogie Majestic.......2003-08-07

This soundtrack is the best soundtrack I have heard in a long time. Bringing the swing big band music was fantastic.I wish they would have included Pennsylvania 6-5000 in the soundtrack though. This by far is the best movie soundtrack next to Swing Kids. So buy this soundtrack. This is real music.

5 out of 5 stars An answer for a question from Texas.......2003-02-15

Music fan from Texas, Yes both songs are there and as strange as it may sound, those where the two songs that cought my attention when I saw the movie. The one with the clarinet is called "Stranger on the shore" while the one with the piano is called "Boogie Woogie Stomp" I believe. The soundtrack as a whole is flawless and I strongly reccomend it.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Single Shaw Disc.......2007-07-03

If you are looking for ONE disc of Artie's work, you can't go wrong with this. The sonics are fine for 78 transfers and the song selection is
above average. This gives a great overview of Shaw's RCA years and the genius he was (he was a trend setter that unfortunatly could never find total happiness in the music business despite the fame and money it brought him). And what a clarinet! There will always be a Goodman/Shaw battle over who was the best clarinet player of the swing era and for good reason. Essential to any big band collection.

3 out of 5 stars It''s good but not what your are expectig. .......2006-08-05

The Artie Shaw band is a very good one. But apart for Begin the Begin and two or three tracks more, the sound is not good and the interpretación has not the brilliance one expect.

3 out of 5 stars Artie Shaw and His Orchestra.......2006-07-30

This music is not my cup of tea but the person I gave it to was happy.

5 out of 5 stars My introduction to Artie Shaw.......2005-06-02

This one is real man. It's has alot of everything from brassing horns, high winds, rhythm sections, banging drums and everything. This marks this as a introduction as a first-time lover Artie Shaw (y'know since '98) since I dug others like Woody Herman, Lionel Hampton, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, among others.

It's sad to hear that he passed from late December of 2004 from seriously of natural causes. God bless his heart and may him rest in peace. I know he left us a legacy that'll live on. As to say ARTIE LIVES!!!

5 out of 5 stars A great deal on the best from this Swing genuis!.......2004-03-13

[First of all, there seems to be some confusion at Amazon as to what tracks are actually on this disc: there are two "editions" listed of the same album (?), but with completely different track details. For the record, here are the tracks on the CD that I own, which I believe is the only one available -- the second listing is a mistake:

1. Nightmare
2. Indian Love Call
2. Back Bay Shuffle
4. Any Old Time
5. Traffic Jam
6. Comes Love
7. What Is this Thing Called Love?
8. Begin the Beguine

If this track listing matches the one you see listed Amazon, then buy with confidence! My review covers these tracks.]

Artie Shaw was an uncompromising, brilliant swing musician and bandleader who was always seeking new creative outlets and stretching the boundaries of swing. He frequently broke up his bands and took vacations from music, only to return with new ideas (he finally retired from music for good in the 1950s, and now lives quietly in Los Angeles). This CD is a great introduction (at a great price) to the man and his music. It focuses mostly on his most popular band: the 1938-1939 band that stole away "The King of the Swing" title from the other clarinet bandleader, Benny Goodman. This was the most popular Big Band of its time, but Shaw disbanded it in disgust at the `business' side of the music business. The CD also contains selections from his band of 1940-41, which enlarged to 22 musicians, including a string quartet, and two tracks from his superb small group, The Gramercy Five. All in all, it's a great overview of Shaw's best two musical periods.

Shaw was an incomparable clarinetist and musical experimenter, and the first track, "Nightmare" (the band's theme song) shows off both sides. As a starter for a swing band, it's an unusual, slow, and very creepy track! But the band gets right into the swing of things afterwards, and we hear the classics that made this 1938-39 band such a powerhouse: "Back Bay Shuffle," "Any Old Time" (with a vocal by Billie Holliday!), "Indian Love Call" (which shows how Shaw could turn a commercial tune his label forced on him into a dazzling work of art -- with a great `skat' vocal from sax player Tony Pastor), "Oh! Lady Be Good" (one of the hottest dance numbers ever!), "Serenade to a Savage" (superb percussion work on this odd piece); and the high-octane power of the one the fastest swing numbers of all time: "Traffic Jam." The band's musicians, which included Buddy Rich on drums, and Georgie Auld and Tony Pastor on tenor sax, just amaze at every turn. The band's principal vocalist, Helen Forrest, sings three beautiful but very swingin' numbers: "Comes Love," "Deep Purple," and "Moon Ray" (which is a live performance from a radio broadcast). Forrest sang with two other great bands of the era, Benny Goodman and Harry James, but she was at her best with Shaw's band: her voice was simply a perfect fit for the musicians, and she seemed to understand exactly what they were all about.

But the big hit of this band was "Begin the Beguine," which Shaw `rescued' from a failed Cole Porter musical and turned into three minutes of the best American music ever recorded. This beautiful jazz performance both swings and croons, and even though Shaw later referred to the piece as an "anchor around my neck" because of its huge popularity, I think any musician would be proud to have such an incredible number so closely connected to him.

The tracks from the second band are "Frenesi," "Temptation," "Blues (Parts I & II)," "Moonglow," and "Stardust." The sound is much different, containing the influence of classical music thanks to the string quartet, but it is nonetheless true swing as well. The sound is unique, even if it isn't quite as amazing as the first band. "Temptation" is the real stand-out here; Shaw's solo is startling and inspiring. Two tracks from the small group The Gramercy Five -- "Special Delivery Stomp" and "Summit Ridge Drive" -- show how experimental Shaw was during this period: he replaced the piano with a harpsichord! These are astonishing small jazz recordings. (If you want more of this, buy "The Complete Gramercy Five Sessions" CD.)

The sound is, for the most part, quite good. There is some crackle and noise, but thankfully the producers didn't use any serious noise reduction, like I've heard on some discs, that dampens the instrument range and cuts off the high frequency. Believe me, you won't notice that hiss and crackles within a few minutes when you hear the clarity of the instruments.

This is a great deal on CD packed with one of America's finest musicians at his peak. If you've heard Goodman or Glenn Miller, you owe it to yourself to meet Artie Shaw. Trust me, you'll be amazed.

5 out of 5 stars Elly Ameling now more available .......2007-03-07

I had a 33 rpm album of Elly Ameling singing Schubert lieder accompanied by piano and clarinet at times. It was one of my all time favorite albums so I have been disappointed that I have not been able to find it anywhere on CD.

Now I can just buy this excellent collection. So much music in one place! Since I confess that I am far from an expert on the rest of her records, I look forward to hearing her sing many other styles and composers.

I think it is silly to criticize her for not singing Wagner, for example, since her version of many songs, especially lieder, are nothing short of sublime. I would like to hear how many Wagnerians sing Schubert or Mozart.

I doubt if they could approach the skill and soul with which Elly Ameling sings lieder.

5 out of 5 stars Delight in every note.......2006-03-10

To speak as briefly as possible about this superb collection from an equally superb singer, what can I say but that Ms Ameling possessed a voice that shone with radiant warmth and star-like shimmer? And unlike many another light lyric soprano, Elly Ameling was possessed of a very high standard of musicianship, considerable intelligence, and a sort of immediate charm that captivates the listener.

So many of her recordings have still to be released on CD, but this 5CD-set goes some way towards remedying the situation. The repertoire spans a wide variety - French mèlodies, Lieder, light-hearted "sentimental" songs, Bach, etc. - and in each piece, Ms Ameling shows that quality of pearl-like beauty. It is a beauty which is also extremely pretty - a beauty of voice that is never overbearing and over-ripe, but perfectly blossoming upon the tree of inspiration.

I recommend this set unequivocally. It truly is sheer delight.

5 out of 5 stars While they last..........2005-05-17

Elly Ameling held the quiet stage for recitals of great artistry and dignity for several decades and sadly most of the enormously successful CDs of her long career output are now unavailable. For those who have little access to the documentation of this very special artist, this box set is a must. It is a compilation of many of her recordings with differing accompanists, conductors, orchestras and composers. And while not all of the choices for inclusion here would be considered her greatest moments, there are enough works that sustain the warm memories of the little Dutch hausfrau who quietly and simply paid homage to composers with her clear and intelligent musicianship and radiant voice.

Ameling was known to schedule recitals of Schubert cycles and songs and in the afterglow of her performance answer the demand for curtain calls with additional Schubert melodies: she gifted her audience with the dignity of honoring a composer's works by maintaining the focus on that composer rather than milk the audience with the usual encore applause-getting favorites. And special moments such as quietly and pensively strolling through the orchestra during the Mahler 4th symphony to arrive at front stage, unapplauded, just in time for the opening line of her singing - those simple homage to composers and collaborators made her selfless manner endearing to audiences.

Despite the fact that Ameling's voice was on the small side she was always able to muster the projection to carry her message solidly in context with an orchestra. Yes, other more famous singers have recorded Ravel's quintessentially French SHEHERAZADE, but few have the perfection of diction and aura of mystery that Ameling maintained. Whether singing with piano or orchestra, or interpreting Bach, Mozart, Handel, and Vivaldi with the same degree of involvement as Brahms and Schumann and Schubert, Elly Ameling spanned a career that engendered passionate commitment from her fans. And this boxed set is a pocket full of memories to be treasured. Buy it before this too becomes unavailable. Grady Harp, May 05

5 out of 5 stars Treasures From a Treasure.......2004-09-25

Treasures from a Treasure.

Ameling, one of the world's most beloved recitalists is captured here in a 5 CD collection offering some of her most beautiful recordings of song. While we are used to her perfection in songs of Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Faure and Hahn, an added joy is her "pop" side, tackling - without a whiff of pretension, Porter, Kern, Gershwin, Ellington, et al.

What an absolute joy it is listening to this amazing artist sing these songs with an almost uncanny natural ease. There is no resorting to a "pop" voice and yet most of these pop standards songs sound as though they could have been written for her. Clean attacks, sometimes a bit of the pop technique of hanging on to a consonant longer than a classical artist normally would shows an appreciation and understanding of the style. Still, there is never once a compromise of her vocal beauty.

I like the way the songs have been arranged for her voice in that she sort of sings them clean, unaffected in the first half and then lets loose and kinda "swings" with it adding embellishments but never really changing her voice (Price, von Stade and other favorite singers of mine seem to have always added a breathy quality to much of their crossover material.)

Ameling doesn't resort to trying to "let her hair down" or get down and dirty, but rather the honest with which she approaches every one of these songs shows how much she enjoys singing them and her style is as refreshing as stumbling onto a cool spring on a sweltering summer's afternoon. A wonderful surprise.

5 out of 5 stars More than fully earned praise for an exceptional singer........2003-07-15

As I had the privilige of hearing this outstanding Lied-singer during her long career in Holland and being the proud possessor of almost all her recordings, I cannot but fully agree with the professional and joyful review of Mr. Robert Holliston from Victoria, B.C. Canada.
Yes, it is unbelievable that of about the 150 recordings Mrs. Ameling made during her long career (for the greater part of course on the 'oldfashioned' LP's, as well as the innumerable Dutch live-recorded radio-concerts), so few CD's have been released.
Speaking of tradition: it was the page-turner of the Wigmore Hall in London who told Mrs. Ameling after her first recital in this hall, that she reminded him of Elisabeth Schumann. (And he certainly didn't mean her looks only!)
For those who are eager to hear her singing Ravel's Shéhérazade (just one example of stirring imagination combined with her Art of Singing) I can tell you that Philips released a 2-box CD of this work in 1999, combined with Debussy's La Damoiselle élue and a compilation of French mélodies, i.e. Debussy, Fauré, Duparc, Satie. One of the gems is Caplet's Le Corbeau et le Renard which even make children, who know the fables of La Fontaine, revel in the singing of the quarrelsome birds....
Her brilliant accompanyist is Rudolf Jansen. Let us cherish great artists in their art!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars An amazing deal for some amazing music........2006-11-02

I do not know how nor why these CD's are so cheap. I am sure that the fact they are simply packaged has a great deal to do with it. The quality of the sound is very good to excellent. If you like the music of Artie Shaw this is one amazing deal. I looked into my Dance Band Discography and for the most part this music is packaged chronologically. You cannot go wrong buying this set.

5 out of 5 stars Magnificent best value 10 CD set of the music of the great Artie Shaw........2006-03-22

I thoroughly agree with your previous reviewer that this would be one of the best purchases you could ever make of the unforgettable music of the late Artie Shaw. Although made in Germany, which seems somewhat unusual for an American Big Band Era Jazz Artist, the CD set has flawless playing, despite being packaged simply in cardboard covers with no accompanying notes.
With over 230 tunes of this great maestro, available at a most reasonable price generally, it is worth the outlay to get a collection of the best of his outstanding music.
The cover contains a printing error in the top left hand corner under his signature, although a minor thing.
It lists Artie Shaw's life covering 1909-2004. He was actually born in 1910 (May 23rd).





























5 out of 5 stars A surprise.......2005-05-19

I have to say at the start I was suspicious of this box - 10-CD's from Germany, public domain recordings, transfers from 78 discs. Usually these things tend to have lots of noise reduction, processing and sometimes phoney-baloney fake stereo.

Not so with this box. I've gotten through about half of it and it is quite impressive. The transfers are generally good and whoever did the remastering used very little noise reduction, and left enough surface noise so that it doesn't detract from the music or deaden the sound. It actually is as good as some of the Chronologial Classics Shaw material I have. The tracks vary in quality based on the discs used for transfers but overall this is a good box. And at sixteen or seventeen bucks for 250 tracks of some of the greatest music ever recorded - well if you're disappointed after that then you may be a tad too critical.

I have a lot of Shaw and he had wonderful bands. This box set is as good or better than much of the recodings I have. I have seen this box retail for fifty dollars - beware you can get it a lot cheaper. There is no booklet and the CD's come in cardboard sleeves but the discs come out easily and they are in perfect condition

Not a bad find for so little.

5 out of 5 stars beautiful album.......2005-04-23

Ron Raines does a fabulous job singing broadway songs. His voice is truly fantastic. He has a perfect voice for broadway songs and ballads. I think the song selection he chose is really wonderful and a great variety from different musicals. His first album was fantastic and so is this one. I'd highly recommend both albums. His voice is truly wonderful and a beautiful experience to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Ron Raines Continues His Beautiful singing.......2005-04-01

This is the second in Ron Raines series of Broadway Classics. It is just as beautiful as his first one. Close your eyes when you listen to him and you will believe that you are in a theater. You won't be disappointed if you like Broadway! The more I listen to Ron Raines sing, the better I like him. I hope he will make a new CD soon. He sings the songs that men sing in the original Broadway shows. It is great! This singer should be in everyone who likes music's collection

    5 out of 5 stars This is my idea of a fine saxophone quartet!!!.......2004-07-01

    A superb recording in every respect, from the perfect intonation, blend, and balance to the unique style and sound of this talented group! An array of tunes to delight the casual listener and music critic alike. Perhaps my best recording...certainly a favorite! As a saxophonist and teacher, I would like all my students to hear this fine recording.
