Customer Reviews:
Wonderful, but not my first choice.......2007-04-07
I believe this was the first recording of Elijah in English that used an "international" conductor and some international singers. Fruhbeck gives a good, dramatic sweep to the piece, with some wonderful dramatic moments. This is an old fashioned performance, with only a solo quartet, and if there is a semi-chorus, I can't tell the difference. This means that the soprano is the Widow, and an Angel, the mezzo the Angel and Queen Jezabel, etc. You really should have a libretto, but you don't get one at this price.
Fischer-Dieskau roughens up his voice for the role, and therein lies a problem. The voice spreads and his diction suffers because of it; that and his unidiomatic pronounciation, with far too many rolled "r"s. He does the drama well, but what works well in lieder works here less well on the large scale. Odd, given his success as on opera singer (check out his Iago), that here he frequently comes off blustery.
Dame Gwyneth Jones belies her reputation and gives a contolled, dramatic performance, using her "edge" to advantage in "Hear Ye, Israel". Gedda's diction is amazing, with exactly the right color for this literature, and projecting a little more blood than an English tenor.
Dame Janet Baker is my star in this performance. Dramatic, heart-rending when need be, and in wonderful voice. She'll chill your blood when she tells the people of Baal to "slaughter him, do what he hath done!".
And as for the people of Baal, the Philharmonia Chorus is wonderful. Incisive and dramatic, with beautiful tone. I could do without the trick of the boy choir for "Lift Thine Eyes", and I miss the small ensembles, but all in all a fine performance, and good recording, circa 1968.
First choice in English, Daniels/Terfel: better Elijah in Terfel, better recording, more authentic orchestra, small vocal ensembles (as per the score) but inferior women (including Fleming: beautiful tone, but where's her head?). In German, it's Sawallisch/Adam all the way.
But if you're singing Elijah, and have a score, this is a good choice.
THE BEST recording of the BEST oratorio ever..........2006-08-15
Okay, I'm gonna admit I'm biased- I first sung in the chorus of Elijah when I was 14 and it made a BIG impression on me!
This recording is in every way wonderful. Starting with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. He IS Elijah to me. His singing is perfection. He has amazing phrasing and his diction makes it possible to understand the lovely, inspired libretto to this heavenly music. There are so many pieces that are ephemeral, but a couple of my favorites are: #14, Lord God of Abraham and #37, For the Mountains shall Depart. Dieskau does a great job of what I think of as compassionate, heartfelt singing. His interpretation sounds like the voice of God himself. It has a quality of kindness and yet he sounds just as convincing reprimanding the people of Baal. He is the true highlight of this recording.
That said, the rest of the cast is wonderful as well. Gwyneth Jones has a lovely, silvery voice that has a clarion bell-like tone that rings over the large orchestra with ease. She has occasional "misfire" but is a consistent performer. Dame Janet Baker and Nicolai Gedda both perform at a consistently lovely level. The orchestra and chorus are both wonderful. #15, Cast thy Burden upon the Lord, #32 He that Shall Endure to the End, and #38 Then Did Elijah are all highlights.
All said, for me the main reason to get this recording is Dieskau's Elijah- after all, he's the main character. But don't forget the lovely music. This story is exciting and passionate and sacred all at the same time. For me, it's the best oratorio that has a moving story and great music too.
Too bad there are so few recordings of Elijah.......2006-07-03
This is a good recording of an oratorio that deserves more attention. The chorus and soloists are very good--I just wish Fischer-Diskau wouldn't slide around so much in singing the title part!

You really can't have a supergroup without superstars, but the Yayhoos are pretty close to the real thing--at least in the roots-rock world, where guitarists Dan Baird and Eric "Roscoe" Ambel are noted heavyweights. Baird, the former Georgia Satellites frontman, takes the lead vocal on half a dozen tracks, including "Oh! Chicago," which previously appeared on the Bloodshot Records fifth anniversary compilation Down to the Promised Land. A veteran of Roscoe's Gang and the producer of albums by Blue Mountain, the Bottle Rockets, and others, Ambel sings two tunes on Fear Not the Obvious and had a hand in penning one of the disc's highlights, the brawny rocker "What Are We Waiting For." But the greatest contribution from Ambel, a sought-after sideman on the six-string, is the avalanche of greasy guitar he unleashes throughout. To hear the Yayhoos tell it, music history starts with the Stones and ends with Skynyrd, and in this case that's a fine excuse for a party. --Anders Smith-Lindall
Album Description
These guys bring it on. Some folks may not like the loud guitars and swaggering attitudes but that's their loss. I swear I haven't rocked this hard since "Street Survivors." Even though "Fear Not the Obvious" doesn't have dueling guitar solos, the rocking songs more than make up for it. That song where they tear Hank Jr. a new one is pretty good too.
Customer Reviews:
Fear not the mojo.......2006-08-09
These guys are so good. There isn't a bad track on this disc. The singer of the Georgia Sats, the brilliant production and guitar work of Eric Ambel ( ex Delords, present lead on Steve Earle ). Run don't walk and dig the vibe. They cover "Dancing Queen" better than Abba.
It keeps getting better !.......2005-06-18
This is an album that keeps getting better by the years, I tell you. The first times I listened to Fear Not the Obvious the stand out tracks were What Are We Waiting For & Oh! Chicago. And the rest of the songs were pretty ok. Not more.
But now with a few years on its neck, this album is a killer! Monkey With a Gun, Bottle and a Bible, Hunt You Down, Get Right With Jesus and Baby I Love You are all stand outs. The only song that doesn't work for me are the Abba cover Dancing Queen.
The Yayhoos have over the years proven to be one of my favourite Alt. Country rockbands. They are up there with Drive-By Truckers, Slobberbone, Bottle Rockets, Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt.
ROCKIN!!!.......2004-04-25
Without a doubt this is, hands down one of the best discs you will ever purchase, being a long time fan of Eric(Roscoe) Amble from the days of the "Laughing Gnomes" to the the "Del Lords" and "Bottle Rockets" you can only expect a quality product,add Dan Baird you gotta a winner , this disc kicks from start to finish!! Like one of the other reviewers mentioned, this is one of these great bands that you feel very maternal towards, glad to know that they have not become an item for the masses!! buy it, buy a bottle and enjoy!! viva Yayhoos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rawk'n'Roll.......2003-11-12
In a perfect world, Britney, Christina, Justin, Beyonce, Linkin Park, and Fred Durst would be wallowing under the Rock Of Obscurity while the Yayhoos and their ilk rocked souled-out shows at the Garden and the Hollywood Bowl. From beginning to end, there's not another album of this caliber out right now, or in the past decade at least. It's real rawk'n'roll, baby!
After mulling over the knee-jerk first sentence of this review, I reconsider. What would be the fun of knowing and diggin' this band if EVERYONE did? It's cool to be a part of a kinda "secret club" where we can silently giggle when some bonehead elitist in Billboard prints that "rock and roll is dead". Rock on, boys!
Right Funk and Wagner On!!!!.......2003-10-17
I firtst heard this being played in the intermission at a Steve Earle concert. I went " Holy S***, who's this!" These guys are smokin'. I inquire around and found them on a website. This is
the most pure rock and roll album I've heard in a long time.

Customer Reviews:
These are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks.......2007-01-21
I was disappointed that these are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks. For example, in Colonel Bogey, the countermarch from the movie soundtrack is not included in the arrangement on this CD. Don't get me wrong, the songs are good, but I would have preferred the same arrangements as the original movies.
An outstanding compilation.......2006-08-25
This compilation is superb and a real must-buy. From Band of Brothers to A Bridge Too Far: every war movie theme is represented here. An all time classic.
The really good ones are missing........2005-07-18
While this compilation has some masterpieces such as the theme from The Great Escape and Is Paris Burning, it's missing some of the finest tracts ever written. Where is the theme from Victory and Ernest Gold's stirring epic from Cross of Iron? The closing theme from Inchon was also a feast for the ears, but it's not here. It was written by Jerry Goldsmith, one of the foremost soundtrack composers of our time. Instead we're subjected to the likes of Hanover Street and The English Patient. I'll admit Inchon and Victory weren't Academy Award winning movies, but their soundtracks were second to none. As John Stossel would say," Give me a break"!!!
"many were winners by the Academy for best scores".......2004-05-26

More than just a good listen... it stir the soul! .......2007-05-31
Soon as you put the CD on, you are transported to another time... another place. The music sooths, as the words spoken by the beast penetrate to the deepest part of your soul. You're emotionally spent, yet feel more alive than ever after your journey.
I bought this years ago when it first came out on Cassette (gives you an idea how long ago that was) I listened to it so many times the tape wore out. I just ordered the CD.... I can't wait for the journey to begin again...thank you Vincent!
I Loved this Show and this Album.......2006-06-09
I bought the CD today as a backup in case my original signed by Ron Perlman CD wears out. I keep waiting for the owners of this series to release at least the first 2 season on DVD. I have no interest in owning the 3rd season when the show broke my heart. I wish someone would redo this show in it's original conception as a movie or a TV series. I loved the show and was a great fan of the Love and Hope shown by Catherine and Vincent.
Of Love And Hope.......2006-04-07
Hi! I bought "Of Love & Hope" last November, through Amazon.com, and I must say, I enjoy it! However; the producers of this album, which I love, should have used another introduction instead of just the MUSIC. Why not use the main theme, where Vincent and Catherine introduce each other? THAT would have been great!! After all, Cathy was also a great character on the show!
I hereby recommend this album to all Beauty and the Beast fans out there. I have listened to it so often, that now, I can recite more poems by heart! BATB FOREVER!
Lushly Romantic!.......2005-09-04
I was a great fan of the TV series, "Beauty and the Beast" and owned the cassette version of "Of Love and Hope" in which Ron Purlman as Vincent reads poetry by Shakespeare, Lord Byron, Shelly, Rilke and other greats, interspersed with beautiful music, mostly from the soundtrack of the series. As I love beautiful music and beautiful words, I counted this tape among my treasures. When the tape eventually became damaged, I truly was distraught. I am delighted to now own the CD, which brought me instant pleasure which can only continue for the rest of my life.
Moves me to tears..........2005-07-06
I actually have this on cassette, bought years ago before television network executives butchered this incredibly beautiful show, and dug it out of storage recently. Interestingly enough, I found that I had forgotten none of it. Never has music spoken so eloquently to my heart, nor represented a television show so clearly and wonderfully. Ron Perlman's "Vincent" voice, interpreting the classical literary selections in this, is sensual, articulate, undeniably romantic. It's one of the most unusual collections of music and poetry I've ever come across, a fitting and fine representation of the show.
My favorite is the opening theme of the series, with lyrics sung and "Vincent's" "No one, not even the rain, has such small hands" intonation.
The television show and it's tragic, other-worldly love story was too perfect to last long on tv. I'm glad that fans such as myself have been able to hold onto rememberances of the show such as this marvelous, sweeping score. I only wish that it could be re-released on Cd, along with dvds of the series. Fans have been keeping the magic alive all these years; it's time we were recognized.

Customer Reviews:
All Around Great Album from the King Of AfroBeat!.......2000-04-16
Originally released in 1977, this is a studio recording so it has a more polished sound than on the recent Best Best. BTW, none of these tracks are on Best Best... Stalemate and Fear not for Man are the stand outs, but the rest of album is good too. It's another intoxicating organic mixture of African harmonies, bebop, and James Brown. Listen to the samples!

great, great!!!.......2006-12-05
This is the way ,I think, Purcell should sound. No pomp and surcomstance but only great music.
ALL THE MUSIC YOU EVER NEED!!.......2003-05-23
This boxed set is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. As a Purcell freak, this hits every button I have. The cast of characters include the inequitable Robert King, New College Choir, Bowman, and a host of other venerable persons. Likewise the attention to period performance of these works makes it an essential addition to the library of any serious anglophile/Musicologist etc. Now if only the Britten Realizations of all Purcell's songs could be recorded alongside the originals! You will Love this set!

Very Surprised.......2006-03-12
Heard this band for the first time in 2006 (thanks Reign Radio) and must admit I'm very surprised that they received negligible publicity given the quality of the music they produced. I highly recommend their music to those that are fans of such 80's Metal bands as Stryper, Holy Soldier, and Guardian. Unfortunately, it is very difficult finding a copy of one of their CD's.
IT ROCKS WITH AN ANNOINTING !!!.......2004-09-28
I knew these guys personally and hung out with them wherever they played in so. cal. the lead guitarist went on to another project and that really rocked as well. would love to see them get back together and record. if they were going to play another gig i would fly out from new mexico to see them. this cd was GOD inspired and that's why it lives on! if there is anyone out there who has contact with them please post it!

One of the best christian metal bands ever.......2001-11-12
One of the best christian metal bands ever since Stryper. I saw these guys in Concert and they rocked with Novella! I would recommend them getting back together and recording another cd. I would go see them again!
One Christian Band that really rocks........1999-09-18
Fear Not takes the heavy sound of the 80's and combines it with the punch of the ninety's. I would recomend this CD to anyone who had a love of hard rock.
AWESOME!!!.......1999-01-25
Fear Not in my opinion is one of the best Christian rock bands that ever existed. Sadly, they are not together any longer but, their incredible sound lives on. With a sound similiar to Saigon Kick, this is one CD that should not be over looked. I have played this CD at bars during band breaks and have had many people ask who they are....liking how it rocks!!!
