5 out of 5 stars "performances light up the heavens ~ Crouch End Festival Chorus".......2005-06-25

This reissue originally released in 1997 was on the top American Billboard Charts, ranked number #13...dramantic in every respect "CINEMA CHORAL CLASSICS", featuring the CROUCH END FESTIVAL CHORUS and their leader David Temple (Choir Master), world renown with a strong reputation for hitting the mark everytime...for additional listening pleasure THE CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC, conducted by Paul Bateman, Kenneth Alwyn and as always Nic Raine these gentleman are the icing on the cake...for additional listening pleasure we have the classical favorite "CARMINA BURANA"(1981-Carl Orff), the dark tale of Camelot...now that's just for openers.

Silva Screen Records takes us on a journey of adventure "CONAN:THE BARBARIAN"(1981-Basil Poledouris), with Arnold Schwarzenegger and resounding singers with brilliant orchestration...then we have two selections from "THE MISSION"(1986-Enno Morricone), beautiful choir blends emotion, enhanced by haunting themes and counter melodies..."THE LION IN WINTER"(1988-John Barry), a favorite among Barry fans, this arrangement and rendition has it all...next we travel with helmet in hand(with horns included) with "THE VIKINGS"(1959-Mario Nascimbene), if it's action you crave, then this Kirk Douglas epic is a real winner, but Nascimbene's score adds color and breaths life into this tale of the Viking God "Odin"...another remake leaps to the screen with "HENRY V"(1989-Patrick Doyle), one can only marvel at Kenneth Branagh's Shakespeare film, but the music from a solo to full choir gives you goose bumps...the CD is excellent, recorded in Dolby Surround sound is completely mesmerizing and outstanding...orchestration, every intstument, every voice, crystal clear...for all the "film-score-buffs", do not pass this one up...needs to be in your every growing collection (nuff said)...gotta love it!

Hats off to Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman and Nic Raine conducting the world renown CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA...plus James Fitzpatrick(album producer)...Reynold da silva(executive producer)...and a special thanks to David Temple(Choir Master) and our favorite-dynamic choir that made all of this possible...THE CROUCH END FESTIVAL CHORUS!

5 out of 5 stars EPICS THAT DO NOT DISAPPOINT.......2007-05-14

WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA TO TAKE HOLLYWOOD'S COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL EPIC MOVIES, EXTRACT THE BEST PORTIONS OF THE SCORES AND COMBINE THEM FROM THE DAWN OF MAN TO THE RECENT PAST. I PARTICULARLY ENJOY THE SUITES FROM GLADIATOR, BRAVEHEART AND THE VIKING. THE REPRODUCTION OF THESE SCORES BY THE CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS IS BRILLIANT, AND THE RECORDING WAS EXCELLENT. I ONLY WISH THERE WERE EIGHT DISCS INSTEAD OF FOUR TO COVER THE VOLUMES OF SCORES THAT COULD NOT BE INCLUDED. LET'S HOPE FOR A VOLUME II.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting selections . . ........2006-12-15

This compiiation album makes an excellent gift for that person wanting to discover great, epic scores. I'm surprised, however, that Vangelis' Alexander is included in this one. Not bad, just surprised.

The reason I give this album 4 out of 5 stars is because of the swashbuckler section. How is it that CutThroat Island - one of the greatest epics in history - was scrubbed out of the list? Pirates of the Caribbean is included on the selection but nothing from Debney's masterpiece?!

Yes, that is a huge compilant. If you haven't discovered CutThroat Island, I suggest you get it then you'll understand my frustration. Still, this album is a great buy and worth looking into!

5 out of 5 stars "Epics featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra ~ 60 years of film scores".......2005-09-07

When I think of the "Golden Age of Hollywood", many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "EPICS:THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HOLLYWOOD", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades right and up to the present 2005.

There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classics that even the youngsters today recognize...sweeping scores that capture the drama, mystery, adventure, action and romance...one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this...many nominated and winners by the Academy for Best Original Score...

Silva Screen Classics as usual, has put quality into this 4-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come...this collection is aimed directly at the "Serious Film Score" music fans and collectors...Silva is as always, perfect in every way...just the way we like 'em!

5 out of 5 stars Speechless.......2007-01-06

I cannot say enough about this disc. My introduction to Schutz's music occurred 5 years ago, when I stumbled upon an LP recording of the German Requiem, and this Naxos CD served as my reintroduction to this work and Schutz in general. I find it interesting that these two major works were recorded onto the same CD, since they represent two of Schutz's most personal expressions in music.

The German Requiem was composed in the mid-1630s on the death of Schutz's good friend Heinrich von Reuss, on texts which were engraved onto Reuss's coffin (this work was written to be performed at the burial, hence the formal title 'Concerto in the Style of a German Burial Mass'). Comparable to his other output, this work is harmonically conservative, and very much in the old contrapuntal style cultivated in the 16th century. The soloists, choir and instrumentalists (viols and continuo instruments on this piece) do an outstanding job of portraying the deep emotional undertones present in the piece. The chorale settings in Part I (Track 2) truly dance, and the brilliant portrayal of seraphims and the Beata Anima by 2 soprano and a baritone soloist against the choir in Part III are executed well. In agreement with Mr. Morrison, the purity of voices and flawless execution on this disc is phenomenal.

The Seven Words of Christ is a later work, and also one of Schutz's most personal (this is speculated, since it remained in manuscript and was never published). On this recording, the choir sounds fantastic (similar to the Requiem) on the Introit and Conclusion. The instrumental sections (for viols and organ), Parts II and IV are convincingly meditative, as if to first prepare the listener for Christ's words, and then to allow him to reflect afterwards. The middle Part III consists of a recitative style portrayal of the Seven Words, with Jesus portrayed by a tenor and 2 viols, and narrated by a variety of voices. This particular tenor is exceptional, and even without knowing German one can imagine which words are being uttered...this is the extent of his wonderful expression. (For example, Jesus's beckoning cries of Vater [father] and Johannes [John] ache with pain and passion).

Of the closing 5-voice motets, 'Die mit Traenen saen' is frequently performed for its contrast of slow, sorrowful portrayal of 'They that sow in tears' with the fast triple time response of 'Reap in joy' in a bit of madrigalism on Schutz's end. I REALLY enjoyed the brisk triple time of this recording...some others which I've heard take it slower and safer, but fail to capture the 'Joy' inherent in this passage.

For anyone at all, lover of Schutz or not, I believe this disc would make a fantastic introduction to his music or addition to a Schutz collection. This recording is a steal...it's worth twice the Naxos price. Buy it.

5 out of 5 stars Beloved Schütz Works Radiantly Performed.......2004-09-22

The two important works here are the 'German Requiem' ('Musicalische Exequien'), SWV 179-181 and 'The Seven Words of Jesus Christ on the Cross' ('Die sieben Worte Jesu Christi am Kreuz'), SWV 478. The two short works that fill out the CD are the five-part tenth and eleventh motets from 'Geistliche Chor-Musik' ('Sacred Choir Music'): the 26th Psalm ('Die mit Tränen säen' ['They that sow in tears']), and 'So fahr ich hin zu Jesu Christ' ('So onward I go to Jesus Christ') whose text it taken from a funeral choral 'Wenn mein Stündlein vorhanden ist' ('When my hour is come').

The German Requiem and the 'Seven Words' are well-known and well-loved. They have many recordings. These are done by a a small group of soloists, the Himlische Cantorey, and a small choir, the Alsfelder Vokalensemble Bremen, all dedicated to presenting ancient music. The orchestra is the Barockorchester I Febiarmonici, all conducted by Wolfgang Helbich. All the participants are expert; one notes particularly the purity of tone of the singers. The recording was made at the St. Petri Dom in Bremen and the sound is that of a spacious cathedral whose warm acoustic lends a rich and lovely ambience to the music. It's really quite extraordinarily well recorded.

What can one say about the stunningly beautiful music of Schütz, surely the most celebrated German composer of the 17th century? His use of anguished suspensions, open fourths and fifths and slow harmonic motion all allow for the ringing tone of a cathedral acoustic and yet preserve absolute clarity of text. Having sung just last year in the 'Seven Words,' I can still remember the goosebumps that one gets from performing this serenely beautiful music. Given the stunning performances and recorded sound, along with the budget Naxos price, there is really nothing to keep anyone the least bit interested in this literature from snapping up this CD. It's that good.

Recommended without hesitation.

Majestic hymns sung with British accents. A great combination! I haven't noticed any objectionable sounds on my copy.

4 out of 5 stars hymns we sang in church.......2003-02-16

i grew up in a traditional presbyterian church that had a pipe organ. i wanted a cd of many of the hymns that we sang in church sung by a choir and accompanied by a pipe organ. this cd fulfilled my wishes perfectly. the hymns are performed in a very straight-forward fashion with no show-boating or excess flourishes which is exactly what i wanted. this is not gospel music but what i refer to as liturgical music to indicate that it is religious music but not gospel music. i would give it 5 stars but there is a slight hiss. other than that the recording quality is very good.

    This recording focuses less on the music than on the performers: Andrew Parrott and the Taverner Consort, Choir and Players, which he founded 32 years ago. Under his direction, the group has achieved international acclaim and produced a large discography; this 2-CD set was compiled from its recordings of the 1980s and '90s, supplemented by a few numbers played by the Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra, also led by Parrott. The selections were clearly chosen to display the group to best advantage: its vocal and instrumental repertoire, technical polish, tonal beauty and balance, style, versatility, and expressiveness. The program has almost too much variety, consisting mostly of excerpts from longer works; indeed, four movements of Bach's D-major Suite are divided between the two discs. However, several concertos appear in their entirety and, in excellent performances, constitute the most substantial, musically rewarding parts of the set: Bach's Second Brandenburg Concerto, a Harp Concerto by Handel, a Flute Concerto by Vivaldi and the "Spring" and "Summer" Violin Concertos from his "Four Seasons." Other instrumental highlights include the famous Pachelbel Canon--really a set of increasingly ornate variations on a ground bass--a glorious-sounding Sonata for brass by Gabrieli and several arresting, beautiful pieces by Purcell. Some of the program's "favorites" are better known in a different guise, such as the Sinfonia from a Bach Cantata, which he adapted from the Prelude of his third Partita for unaccompanied violin. The instrumental tuning alternates between normal and low; the reason is not explained, but the difference in timbre and resonance is immediately apparent even if one does not know the work's original key. The choral selections, with and without instruments, are all wonderful. Appropriately, the program begins with the bright opening chorus of Vivaldi's Gloria and closes with the heart-breaking final one of Bach's St. John Passion. --Edith Eisler

        5 out of 5 stars Great CD!!.......2003-08-07

        This is a must for all trombonists and music historians!! The sound of these groups is just amazing! Nowhere else can you get a sound like you do with the instruments that these trombonists use. Where else can you hear a contrabass, bass, tenor, alto, soprano, and sopranino trombones all together? A great CD for a historical reference on the trombone also...tromobone chiors are one of the oldest forms of music, and THE oldest perfoming groups in the USA are the Moravian trombone choirs. This CD gives us a rare look into the past of how trombones were commonly used in centuries past, and how the tradition continues today.

        5 out of 5 stars Favorite Moravian chorales from childhood........1999-11-20

        Trombone choirs! I love them. Everytime I hear this recording, I see again the church of my childhood and the trombone choir standing out in the snow near the front steps playing Christmas chorales during the hour before the Christmas Eve service. Why were they out there a full hour before the service? If you wanted a seat, you had to arrive an hour early, because late comers sat in folding chairs in the cloakrooms, or stood in the back. That church was filled to brimming only on Christmas Eve, because music lovers came from miles away to hear traditional Moravian Christmas music, and where else could one possibly hear it? Some of it is on this recording. The words sung to track 8 are "All my heart this night rejoices...", and that sense of anticipation and pleasure is exactly what Moravians feel as they enjoy a night of great music, sung mostly by the people in the pews, not just the choirs. It's all here. The great songs from Advent, Lent, songs of repentance, forgiveness, joy, for baptising babies and burying old people. When you hear track 19, Hosanna, think of a room full of singers on Palm Sunday, echoing back and forth to each other, the little girls and women singing back to the boys and men. My only criticism is that there are perhaps too many songs in minor keys grouped together. They evoke too much sadness and start to sound like endless dirges. The musical interpretation and masterful rendering of the chorales is absolutely delightful, not only for us who hold all the words in our heads and are singing along, but also for those who will assign their own meaning to the music.

          I'm so delighted to have been discovered the Musica Mexicana series. This is wonderful music, totally unknown to most of us, and beautifully played. Of the pieces on this disc, my favorites are the two works by Silvestre Revueltas, Redes (Nets) and Homenaje a Garcia Lorca, both works from the mid 1930's. Revueltas was a colleague of the more well-known Carlos Chavez--and dare I say it, in my opinion, a superior composer. That he died at age 41 (of alcohol related problems) and didn't leave the number of pieces Chavez did probably contributed to his lesser reputation. His music is vibrant, rhythmic, and weaves between wildly dissonant and unabashedly tonal--it's rather like Prokofiev or Shostakovich, but with Mexican folk melodies. Fantastic stuff, I can't get enough of it.

          Miguel Bernal Jimenez and Blas Galindo Dimas are both represented by three movement suites; Tres Cartas de Mexico and homenaje a Cervantes, respectively. Both their works are reminiscent of Copland's 'Western' music--El Salon Mexico and Billy the Kid--but to me, superior. Dimas studied with Copland, so the resemblance is understandable.

          The only piece on this disc to which I felt complete indifference was the Vals Capricho of Ricardo Castro Herrera, who hails from an earlier generation than the other composers represented here. It's a Chopin-eque piece for piano and orchestra, entirely competent but uninspired. I'm certain others will disagree with me and find it delightful, but it's not my cup of tequila.

          The disc wraps up with a minor piece by Chavez, the Zarabanda for string orchestra. It's 6 minutes of lush string writing, with none of the rhythmic drive of other Chavez works like Sinfonia India; it reminds me of the string ensembles of Benjamin Britten or Raph Vaughn Williams, oddly enough.

          I can't enthuse enough about most of this disc, especially the Revueltas. Anyone interested in Art music of the 20th Century, especially music of the Primitivist school, should grab this now!
