Customer Reviews:
Awesome Set!.......2007-07-01
I am a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith. They did a great job preserving his vision. I can listen to this collection for hours. Great music!
Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection.......2006-11-03
This is compilation of hit film music from one of the greatest composers in motion pictures. What is surprising though is the music not included like the Ghost And The Darkness, the 13th Warrior, Rudy and others. To be sure, 4 discs are not enough for a composure of this stature. THe recording, however, is an "engineering masterpiece" which makes the music even more enjoyable than when you first heard it at the movies. When are we ging to get the music that was omittd from this compilaton?
Overall a strong Goldsmith sampler.......2006-04-11
Okay, this is a CD review, so the focus is on music, but I've got to say this first: this has got to be a contender for the ugliest cover art ever. I mean, come on...instead of a tribute to the composer, the cover looks like someone spilled a glass of merlot over a NASA photo.
Fortunately, even an ugly cover will not ruin good music. And the good news is that I'd say about 75 percent of the music is good....and on a 4 cd set, that's a lot. Like other Silva compilations, the strength of this compilation is the variety. There are selections from the big releases (Star Trek, Omen, Rambo), but there is also a healthy dose of tracks from the smaller releases(Under Fire, Lionheart, The Swarm).
Two examples come to mind. Capricorn One and The Great Train Robbery are two movies that are not exactly household names today, but are dominated by two of Goldmith's finest main themes. The City of Prague Philharmonic come through with terrific renditions. And there are plenty of other strong performances...a few being concert versions conducted by Goldsmith himself. Suprisingly, "The Wind and the Lion" works, which is no small accomplishment given the ferentic original performance of "Raisuli Attacks".
It's not a complete success. A few of the performances fall flat, particularly some of the more inventive scores. Total Recall is just bad, mangling the performance with poor percussion and synthesizer choices to boot. Also a letdown is the Klingon Attack from the first Star Trek movie. The Prague Philhamonic attempt doesn't sound bad--it's just that once you've heard the original soundtrack's "blaster beam" with enough bass to rattle your teeth...well let's just say Silva's version is a little tinny in comparison.
But I shouldn't dwell on the negative. Overall, this is a strong sampler of Goldsmith's variety. There are plenty of quality performances here, and despite a few omissions (noticeably Planet of the Apes)this is a very good release from Silva.
Jerry Goldsmith - 40 years of pleasure.......2006-02-22
It was wonderful to hear Mr. Goldsmith's music that went all the way back to The Man from UNCLE, The Waltons, Dr Kildare, etc. And then to hear his music up to the present. The man was a genius!
Almost the perfect compilation.......2005-12-31
Age has its value.... This sweeping collection of compositions brings back so many great memories. This collection shows how significant Goldsmith was for both the movie screen and the small screen. With such a grand collection, every reader can be assured that at least one movie or TV program they like or remember had Goldsmith's contribution. It was an amazing life and the collection well worth having.
However, as sweepig as it is, there are a few holes in the selection. "First Contact", one of the sweetest and richest compositions from the Star Trek is absent. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is missing and the "Medicine Man" music should include the theme song. By dwelling on several selections from the Blue Max, these were squeezed out. Three full and important movie themes got the axe.
However, all but "The Ghost and the Darkness" are readily available and not overly expensive as is the "Ghost" CD. This is a must have for the TV and movie music fan.
Before there was Hans Solo there was Napolean Solo, before ER there was Dr. Kildare. Jerry Goldsmith IS Sci-Fi. "Resistance is futile.. you MUST assimilate this CD collection."

Nice Collection.......2007-03-05
I have many collections of Purcell's Music. This collection stands up to them at half the price. Solid buy.
PERFECT!.......2006-10-26
There is only a word with which I can describe this set of discs: perfect!
The only flaw there is, is not related to the singing or playing: no text enclosed.
Great singing and excellent value for money.......2004-09-19
This is probably one of the best anthologies of Purcell songs around, and not just because it's two-for-one pricing means it contains twice as much music (CD1:74'24" & CD2: 77'41")! Nancy Argenta has an irrepressible sense of style and crystal clear diction. But unlike Emma Kirby, whose vocal purity can become tiresome, these renditions radiate warmth. She is also, I have found, more consistently involving than any one of the singers in Hyperion's three disc survey of Complete Secular Songs (recently reissued as a single set). One marvels at how she judiciously balances restraint and emotional forthrightness. The accompaniments (archlute, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and organ) are well judged and blend with the voice, all helped by an excellently defined recording acoustic. This is an absolute winner at any price!
More than two hours of beautiful 17th century 'ayres'.......2001-08-02
Two CDs, totaling more than 150 minutes of sparsely-arranged (never more than 3-5 instruments at a time), sweetly-sung, 350 year old 'ayres' (a typically English form of secular music). Nancy Argenta's soprano voice is lovely, silvery indeed as her name implies. The instruments are a discreet but friendly accompaniment to her solo voice. Perhaps the instruments are a little too discreet -- there are times when I wish they were a touch more prominent. But that is a very, very minor complaint. A beautiful collection, and quite well worth the money.

The stars of this recording are Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music, entertaining us with rarely-heard instrumental pieces receiving their first modern performances with the endearing poignancy inherent in Purcell's music. McNair's gracile voice and accurate, easy-going coloratura capture the lyricism of Purcell's songs, but none of the subtext's vibrant passion. Emotional variety and vocal color are lacking when she repeatedly calls for Gabriel in "Tell Me, Some Pitying Angel." Still, McNair's light and pure soprano is enjoyable in small doses. When three or four plaintiff songs are programmed back to back, however, the monotony presents a fabulous opportunity to lull insomniacs back to sleep. --Barbara Eisner Bayer
Customer Reviews:
Wonderful Surprise.......2006-01-01
Normally I run in the opposite direction of any baroque music - thought I had heard it all and had enough, but I love Slyvia McNair and I wanted to hear more of her recordings. This recording was such a wonderful surprise, not only interms of McNair's performance but interms of the overall presentation (organization of the pieces) and the energy of the performances by the AAM. I have new-found appreciation of Purcell's music!
One of my favorite CDs.......2003-01-12
When I listened to this CD, I fell in love with Sylvia McNair's artistic and beautiful voice along with Henry Purcell's music. This CD offers a style of music that I love to listen to and sing with. There is a mixture of instrumental only and vocal pieces. When I listen to this CD I feel like I have been transported to the late 1600s. The title "The Echoing Air" appropriately describes the beauty of this music.

Product Description
The fifth collection culled from the annual VH1 Divas specials is a little too genteel. Maybe because the producers are now old hands at pairing up pop's biggest female singers, and they know how to avoid potential fireworks. But it's the fireworks that make these records sizzle. Who can forget Elton John's rendition of "The Bitch Is Back" on the 1999 edition? Except for the rendition of AC/DC's "You Shook Me," inexplicably assigned to Celine Dion and disco revivalist Anastacia, which features blistering guitar by Meredith ("Bitch") Brooks, none of the cuts crackle. Cher's dance floor hit "I Believe" sounds canned and forced, and Latin firecracker Shakira goes low-key with an acoustic version of her soft-focus "Underneath Your Clothes." Even the vivacious Dixie Chicks can't rescue the record with their performance of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide," complete with Stevie Nicks. --Jaan Uhelszki

Divas Las Vegas........2007-04-12
Really enjoyable special.
The highlights would have to be Cher's and Celine Dions performances.
Cher performs Believe and A Song for the Lonely and knocks them dead.
Celine performs Im Alive and A New Day Has Come and practically brings the house down. She was superb.
Other artist were good also, in particular Anastacia.
Very interesting to watch and great to own.

Source of strength and inspiration!.......2006-08-04
This blessed my soul! One of those CD's that you will play over and over again to inspire and strengthen your daily walk.
A praise and worship experience!!!!!!.......2006-07-15
When I was a kid growing up in the early 80's my aunt would play this album like clock work every Sabbath (Saturday) morning, it was how I knew it was time to get up and get ready for church. I learned how to sing by imitating the vocalists on this album (got me a solo with the adult chior singing Right On @ the age of 8 Holla! shoot you couldn't tell me I wasn't Lynette Hawkins LOL ). This album will warm your heart and soul and elevate your worship experience. Yeah I like some of the new gospel that's out but stuff like this is classic, and every song is good. You will not have to worry about skipping to the next song because every song is the JAM!
Pure Gospel At Its Best.......2005-07-15
Love Alive 2 is foot-stomping, pure gospel brought forth by melodic sounding voices. Walter Hawkins is one of my favorite male gospel singers. I have all of the Love Alive recordings. If you want to bring the high praises of God into your home, then this is the CD to get.
A Musical Blessing............2003-01-31
As a child, I used to listen to the LP over and over again. Years ago, when my family moved I lost the LP. It wasn't until recently, when I heard a pastor reference the song "Be Grateful", that I remembered how much I loved that song and how it ministered to my spirit as a child. I'm so grateful that I checked Amazon because I purchased it right away and have been listening to it everyday. Every song is a blessing. "Be Grateful" is still my favorite song in the entire world ("He's That Kind of Friend" is a very close second favorite!). Buy this CD -- you won't be sorry -- and you will be blessed!
These Are Now The Timeless "Classics".......2002-06-04
I was a teenager when Love Alive II was released. I was and still am mezmerized when I hear the gift of Anointed Songs that come through Walter Hawkins.
Not only that, but the songs that were popular in the 70's are now considered "classics"--and rightfully so. The Message is timeless and the rhythm and style is PURE Hawkins!
I never tire of hearing Tramaine sing "He's That Kind Of Friend" or my favorite "grueling" singer Lynette Hawkins belt out "Be Grateful." Each member of the Hawkins Family has their own unique way. Feddie Hawkins is not left out either, because she sings the song I know God has done and continues to do for me on a daily basis--"God Will Open Doors."
Any Gospel Music lover should have a copy of this in your collection.

i'm trying to think straight.......2006-10-18
The live version of "Can't Wait" (track no. 2 of vol. 1) is among the true stunners of live recordings of Dylan. It takes all the virtues of the TIME OUT OF MIND recorded version and then ramps them into a new galaxy of expression. The liner notes are in Japanese. Divine blessings on Japan for evidently providing a market for this cd (which I guess Columbia thinks is too strong for an American audience), but could someone please be so kind as to tell us where and when this "Can't Wait" performance was recorded.
The grammy live version of Love Sick is also a winner. The "Cold Irons Bound" live cut is very fine, though the drums of the live version performed in Philadelphia in 1999 seemed to have even more of the slapping quality so essential to this song. Haven't had a chance yet to compare this "Cold Hours Bound" to the version on the bonus DVD of MODERN TIMES.
This double CD offers the same kind of mix of live and precorded cuts found on the CD's THINGS HAVE CHANGED and NOTE THERE YET. "Things Have Changed," one of the greatest of the recent (last vie years) set of songs, is available, beyond that special, expensive Japanese-import CD (to my understanding) only on the ESSENTIAL BOB DYLAN and on the 4-cut Japanese import CD of the same name and on the bonus DVD extra of MODERN TIMES. Alas, I have been able to find no live cut available for "Things Have Changed." But the live cut on the LOVE SICK CD of "Make You Feel My Love" provides another priceless trace of this last few years of tour creativity and another example of the energy to be found in the live-recordings, most of which, as I understand from other reviewers, some dark things at Columbia seem to be hoarding. But then again, how much good music can a person absorb.
A mixed bag.......2004-10-02
First of all, it's outrageous that only a meagre eight songs feature on a double cd! You know, it's sometimes hard to be a Bob Dylan fan. But the music is mostly worth it. The live Grammy version of 'Love sick' is more human than the album version which sounds a bit like music from outer space. Moreover, what's the album version doing on a live album? Halas, 'Roving Gambler', a folk song of the likes of Woody Guthrie, sounds way too American for these European ears; 'Cold irons bound' is quite the opposite of melody; nor will 'Cocaine blues' (what a plain song...) ever be played on my desert island. But the rest is fabulous! 'Can't wait' is irresistable and very fit for both intense listening and dancing. 'Born in time' is a black pearl that hardly came out that way on the original album. 'Blind Willie McTell' is sadness and tragedy with more power than in the evenly beautiful version of the bootleg series. Knowing this performance, you don't want to go on without. It turns out that Bob Dylan still sings very well from time to time.
Love Sick CD Single, 3 Reviews in One.......2003-10-01
Three reviews in one, because anyone who buys one of these CD singles is going to want to buy them all. Also, it's easier to understand just what you're getting with these singles if you can see them all together.
Love Sick: Dylan Alive Vol. 1. (Japan) Eight Tracks on Two CDs. First CD: 1. Love Sick (Album version), 2. Can't Wait, 3. Roving Gambler, 4. Blind Willie McTell. Second CD: 1. Love Sick (Grammy Version), 2. Cold Irons Bound, 3. Cocaine Blues, 4. Born In Time
Not Dark Yet: Dylan Alive Vol. 2 (Japan). 1. Not Dark Yet (Album Version), 2. Boots Of Spanish Leather, 3. Tears Of Rage, 4. Senor (Tales Of Yankee Power)
Things Have Changed: Dylan Alive. Vol. 3 (Japan). 1. Things Have Changed (Album Version), 2. Highlands, 3. Blowin' In The Wind, 4. Make You Feel My Love
With the exception of the three album versions and the version of "Love Sick" recorded at the Grammy's the rest of the songs were recorded live on that tour of Mr. Ds that never ends.
It doesn't take too much imagination to see that if the people in the suits at Sony threw away the album versions of the above songs, they could combine the rest of the stuff on the three CD singles and make a pretty darned good live album that would be representative of Dylan's Never Ending Tour. Who knows, maybe in the future we'll get lucky and they'll do that. I say lucky, because these songs are great and Dylan is in fine voice. This stuff belongs together, should be listened to together. We can only hope, but until then, they all get five stars.

The live tracks on these two CDs are also available as the second of two CDs in the Australian release of Time Out of Mind. The first CD is the same as the American release of Time Out of Mind. The "bonus" CD in the Australian album is titled "Live '97."
Watch out for this one.... short CD's, same as other imports.......1999-06-25
This one has two CDs, but they are very short. Could fit on one, or half a CD. Same songs as the other import versions of Love Sick live stuff. Good stuff, but I already had it. Too expensive for two short CDs, good for collectors. You decide, maybe they will allow this review to be published.

Customer Reviews:
Urgently recommended despite some production missteps.......2007-01-07
This premiere recording makes some very beautiful music available for the first time. The opera was first performed in 1936, and Vaughan Williams continued to make revisions into the mid 1950s. The music is representative of the composer's mature style. In the opera's later version given here, Evelyn Sharp's original book was revised by Ursula Vaughan Williams.
The Poisoned Kiss is a romantic comedy, a fairy tale about the triumph of true love over revenge. The opera is not through-sung; rather, the dramatic action is carried forward by dialogue in a manner reminiscent of Gilbert and Sullivan or the West End. At times, the witty, good-naturedly sarcastic text and playful rhyme schemes are reminiscent of Noel Coward.
The musicians are just about ideal. Hickox leads a luscious performance, capturing by turn the music's pastoral beauty and (not very threatening) irony. The singers are of uniformly high quality, with the characterization and fresh voices of James Gilchrist and Janice Watson as the young lovers deserving special mention. Anne Collins's fruity, wide-vibratoed contralto at times seems to be a musical caricature, but it works nicely in the role.
The production has two major flaws. First, the sound image is placed rather distant from the listener. I felt as if I were sitting towards the back of the auditorium and wanted to move up closer to the stage. The SACD's surround mode did add compensatory perspective and body to the sound, as well as a little extra punch to the thunder, cat shrieks, and other fairy-tale sound effects. The two-channel version sounded significantly flatter and more distant. Second, almost all of the dialogue has been omitted. It would have been enjoyable to hear the music in its dramatic context. Indeed, the abrupt juxtaposition of musical numbers that in performance would be separated by dialogue and a shift of dramatic tone is sometimes jarring. With less than an hour on each disc (and with singers who display such fine diction and acting skills), this is a major missed opportunity. Fortunately, the dialogue is printed in the libretto.
Despite these quibbles, this set is still urgently recommended!
