Every track on this CD contains a beautiful melody, many of them easily recognizable, all of them exuding tranquility. "O mio babbino caro" from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi opens the disc, with Bell delicately accompanied by a harp and spinning the long melody with great sensitivity. Bellini's "Casta diva" from Norma lives up to its reputation as the epitome of bel canto in Bell's hands; his violin sings. The middle movement of Mozart's 21st Piano Concerto takes well to the violin, and Debussy's "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" is played with great warmth and sensuality. It would be easy to turn a recital like this into treacle, but Bell is wise enough to realize that the music is already sweet enough and he plays with great reserve and a minimum of sentimental slides. The light accompaniments always support, with woodwinds prominent but used with grace. This CD, in short, is a beauty: a fine gift, a lovely mood setter. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:

Romance of the Violin.......2007-07-16

While it's not my very favorite Joshua Bell CD, this is a pleasure to listen to!

End of the Day.......2007-06-08

I am a Joshua Bell fan, and this album is the one that I enjoy with my dessert, it calms me at the end of the day, and makes me think of my 6 year old granddaughter's visit. She has to have music on during meals at her home. Usually it is some kid stuff, but I do not have anything like she has at home, so I chose to play Joshua Bell during our dinner. When I placed the dessert before her, she looked up at me and said: "This music is so beautiful, I want to play the violin just like that". What more could I say.
He is inspiring, and she is right. This album is beautiful.

Wonderful!.......2007-05-30

I play this for my grandson to nap by. It is so relaxing and wonderful!

Over and over and over...........2007-05-17

That's how I want to play this CD! It's a wonderful line-up of rich, mellow, captivating compositions played with a warmth and vibrancy that is seldom heard. Joshua at his very best. You won't be disappointed.

Non-standard CD format.......2007-04-22

The music on this CD deserves five stars, but the CD itself is a non-standard format that doesn't work on all players. There's a tiny warning on the back of the CD. You won't notice the warning until you discover that the CD doesn't work on your player. My Macintosh computer wouldn't read the non-standard format so there was no way for me to listen in my office or put the music on my iPod.

A friend's PC was able to read the CD and make a copy in standard format that can be read on any player, including my Mac. The story had a happy ending, but I can not comprehend why the publisher chose the oddball CD specification.

The music is excellent and worth the trouble of making a copy, but the publisher really shouldn't make you go to that effort just to listen to a CD that you paid for.

Great songs, but this collection has many country-style songs.......2006-12-02

This CD is tolerable. We own Volume 1 and love it. I bought this one specifically for one of the songs it contains.

My son loves it, but a note to parents - this CD has a country music feel to it.

Excellent! Highly Recommended!.......2006-04-20

I've got all 4 volumes of these Favourites on Audio Cassette! Yeah, that long ago! I've been looking to get them on CD but they don't have them on the Amazon UK site so I've come here.

They're an excellent collection. We first started listening to them in March 1995 when my 10 month old son was seriously ill in intensive care. There's something magical about the music. This music and all other music that has followed. Any kind, be it children's songs, chart music, classical etc. He loves it and I truly believe this music (and these 4 volumes being the start) has helped him talk. My son has an excellent sense of rhythm which was apparent before he could talk and he's still got it today. He's forever imitating tunes on his little toy piano and considering he's visually impaired, this is excellent. He works purely on memory and the sound of the notes. It's all thanks to these 4 volumes that he has achieved what he has so far.

Album Description

When it was first released as a four-LP package in 1972, this marathon live recording hit #3 on Billboard's Pop album chart and was certified RIAA gold. Following up their 1971 album Chicago III, this historic set features all the early hits and spotlights Chicago at the peak of their initial success. Painstakingly remastered, it now includes a full disc of previously unreleased material showcasing their trademark horns, Robert Lamm's keyboards and vocals, and the guitar virtuosity of the late Terry Kath. The set's packaging makes a nod to the original LP release, with an outer cardboard slipcase, four CDs in individual jackets, a 36-page booklet with original LP artwork, and mini-reproductions of the three huge posters that were part of the original release.

Walter Parazaider (sax, woodwinds), Lee Loughnane (trumpet), James Pankow (trombone), Robert Lamm (keyboards, vocals), Terry Kath (guitar, vocals), Danny Seraphine (drums), and Peter Cetera (bass, vocals) formed Chicago in the Second City in 1967. They released their debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, in 1969. The double LP sold more than two million copies on the strength of sweet pop hits and psychedelic rock explorations that appealed to traditional Top 40 fans as well as hipper listeners tuning in to the new free-form FM radio.

This was just the start of Chicago's enduring popularity, which includes five consecutive #1 albums, 21 Top 10 singles, and worldwide sales of over 120 million. Chicago continues to be a major concert draw, their lineup now including Bill Champlin (keyboards, vocals), Jason Scheff (bass, vocals), Keith Howland (guitar), and Tris Imboden (drums), along with founding members Lamm, Parazaider, Loughnane, and Pankow.

Customer Reviews:

One of the greatest live recordings of all time.......2007-07-04

Chicago in their early days cranking out jazz/rock inovative music at Carnegie Hall. Terry Kath is sorely missed from the group. His influence on Chicago was essential to their early sound. If you like electric guitar buy this collection.

At Carnegie Hall, Vol. 1-4 Chicago IV.......2007-01-19

This is a must have for any true Chicago fan.

an absolute must !.......2007-01-12

One of the greatest bands of the pop/rock world in full swing! All of Chicago's indispensable tunes are there and the recording, in the present Rhino transfer, is more than adequate; and, to top it all,the documentation and packaging should be seen as a model by the industry. This box-set would definitely be part of my remote planet discography !

Passionate, timelessly captures the moment.......2006-11-03

When I was 13 I had an album collection consisting of Zeppellin, Sabbath, Cooper, Cream, Beethovin, Bach and the brand-new Chicago at Carnegie Hall. I haven't heard this album in 20 years (since my last record player gave up the ghost and I switched to cd's and electronic formats) and my wife surprised me last night with this 4 cd set. WOW! This is how live music should be performed. For those out there who actually LIKE live music to sound just like the studio version this isn't for you. But if you want to hear what a late 60's era hard-working touring band sounded like night after night when mainstream audiences cared about musicianship and composition without the "repairing" of such recordings by later studio work...then this set is an excellent example. This has got to be on anyone's list of top ten live rock albums. I recommend a strong buy!

CHICAGO AND TERRY KATH IN A DIFFERENT ERA (APRIL 1971).......2006-09-25

Beautifully remastered, excellent packaging. This set contains a fourth disc which you hear some really awesome Terry Kath guitar solos. The fourth disc really solidifies the great guitar work of Terry Kath. The extra disc includes "an hour in the shower" which makes the price of this set worth buying, and is a must for any hardcore Chicago fan. The fourth disc was done under Lee Loughane's supervision and painstakingly mixed by veteran engineer Dave Donnelly.I am not a live album fan, but Carnegie Hall really has some tunes that closely match the studio recordings beautifully. The horns and flutes are really loud and sharp and really stand out while listening. I enjoyed this live recording.Carnegie Hall was done when James William Guercio was the producer of Chicago records, long before the days of David Foster who turned them into a 1980s hit machine. Foster during the 1980s helped Chicago score some huge hits, while Chicago became nothing more than Peter Ceteras back up band, setting up Ceteras own solo career. Foster also limited drummer Danny Seraphines drumming during the 80s recordings. Carnegie Hall, catches Chicago in an incredible stage of thier career. The remastering has been done with great care and expertise. Rhino has done another excellent job with the packaging, includes (booklet and posters). One thing that amazes me is while reading the booklet I found out Chicago has been putting on live shows since May 23rd, 1967 and still going strong today, amazing! Enjoy carnegie hall if you dont like live recordings you might make an exception for "Chicago at Carnegie Hall"

Amazon.com's Best of 1998

Nineteen ninety-eight: The same year he dances with Soy Bomb at the Grammys, his record label finally issues Bob Dylan's ultimate live document. A classic case of not giving the audience what they want but what they need, Mr. Dylan's oft-bootlegged 1966 gig begins with lovely and supple folk that foreshadows folk music's turn from protest song to introspection. The album's true highlight is the legendarily ill received and rocked-out electric set, with Dylan backed by members of the Band. There are too many perfect, on-fire guitar solos by Robbie Robertson to count, and Dylan himself responds to the audience's angry bewilderment with equal parts menace, grace, and brilliance. --Mike McGonigal

Amazon.com essential recording

The greatest live recording in rock & roll history was--officially, at least--buried in the vaults of Columbia Records for more than a quarter of a century. But no more: Live 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert has surfaced on two discs mixed and mastered from three-track source tapes that put the myriad pirated recordings to shame. More important, Live 1966 documents a momentous artistic showdown between a willful, inflamed, and utterly fearless performer and his headstrong core following. The Dylan of the mid '60s had made the leap from socially conscious voice of his generation to surrealistic electric poet, a transformation that was met with contempt by a vocal element of his audience. The most telling moment of the recording centers on the standoff: A folk zealot in the audience shouts, "Judas!" earning cheers from the contentious crowd. Dylan responds by snarling, "I don't believe you. You're a liar," then turns to his group, the Hawks (soon to become the Band), and, as the intro to "Like a Rolling Stone" takes shape, commands, "Play loud!" A crucial moment and, time has demonstrated, the correct call. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

Bob Dylan: 1966 Royal Albert Hall.......2007-07-06

I resisted buying this CD for a long time, because I have a bad habit of assuming that overhype = bad. In reality, of course, overhype usually indicates that something is good, and worthy of hype, just not so MUCH hype. I finally bought it, mainly because it was one of the last real holes in my Dylan collection. I never, ever expected it to be a 5-star CD.

But it is. The whole audience/Dylan interaction is every bit as fascinating as its legendary status suggests. In fact, it's all so perfect, it's hard to believe it wasn't planned: the "Judas" cat-call comes right before the very last song; and what is the last song? Only the all-time greatest Dylan classic, "Like a Rolling Stone." Dylan's response, too, is great. It's not witty at all--in fact, it reveals that the "Judas" accusation really caught him off guard. He is silent for about 10 seconds, just keeps on fingerpicking the intro to the song, and then he leans into the microphone and says in an even tone, "I don't believe you." It seems like he had to spend about 10 seconds to even convince HIMSELF that the Judas charge wasn't true! Then he delivers his verdict very calmly. But after thinking about it for another five seconds or so, he becomes more self-assured, and yells, "You're a LIAR!" People think of this concert as a defining moment for the Cult of Dylan, but when you listen to it, it seems like it was really a defining moment for Dylan himself. He may have decided, on that very stage, that he would never turn back from his rock experiment. He was plugged in for good.

So, if you are buying this set for the novelty factor, you'll get you're money's worth. However, the first disc--the acoustic set--is a real treasure, probably even the better of the two discs. I don't own much live Dylan, so I can't compare to other concerts, but in comparison to the studio versions this stuff is really great. I mean, solo acoustic versions of Blonde on Blonde songs sounds awesome, but it is even awesomer than you think. "Just LIke a Woman" and "Visions of Johanna," in particular, are way better here than on the original albums they came from.

All in all, despite my original expectations, this is a 5-star CD. Get it soon.

Must have.......2007-06-09

This is a must have for anyone interested in rock and roll hisotry. Someone earlier said it's not worth listening to multipule times, but I disagree. This is one of my most played CDs ever, every track being a great version of the original. "Like a Rolling Stone" might be even better live, with so much energy from Dylan and the band. Any Dylan fan will love this!

Monumental.......2007-05-04

A Dylan fan is occasionally asked what album they would recommend to someone who is interested but not yet sold on Dylan. With 40+ albums representing a wide range of work it is almost impossible to limit a choice to one album.

But this -- more so than any studio album may be the place to start. You get some of the highlights of his 60's legendary trilogy (HWY61, Brining It All Back Home and Blonde on Blonde). This is Dylan at his absolute peak. He's done other phenomenal work -- but nowhere else is this so clearly heard as in the two sets that make up this concert.

This is arguably one of the greatest single act concerts in the history of rock and roll. It is also an important milestone in the history of one of rock's and culture's more important contributors in the last half a century.

Bob Dylan at his best........2007-03-17

Not only is this a great live album, but it's also a slice of Rock and Roll history.

The first disc is Dylan, acoustic guitar, and harmonica. It's classic folk era Dylan.

The second disc is Dylan backed by the Hawks (later known as the Band).

There was a major backlash by folk music fans, because they didn't want to hear Dylan with electric gutars and drums.

SOme of the songs are booed and one fans even calls Dylan "Judas", which Dylan responds to by finishing the concert by having the Hawks play "Like a Rolling Stone" "f*cking loud".

big dylan fan.......2007-03-14

I got this after loving "Visions of Johanna" live acoustic from "Biography." I like having acoustic version of some classics. "Just like a Woman" and "Tambourine" are my favorites. ("Visions" is better on "Biography") The long drawn out harmonica is interesting. On the second cd, the electric cuts, I think people are looking at this with I
love Dylan rose colored glasses. All it is is an important historical document. By any stretch it is not great music and will not bare repeated listening. I agreed with the crowd even though my favorite Dyan albums are Blond on Blond and Modern Times. It's awful, even the song selection is lame. The few times Dylan says anything he sounds like a stoned nerd. (Also, by the way, from some of the included pictures, I now know what they are talking about when they say that in the Dylan biographical movie a woman is going to play him for a few years of his history.) So anyway, it is impossible to give Dylan less than four stars, but I would buy this only if the first cd might hold your interest.

DG has put together a fascinating compilation of Segovia's art that reminds us what a protean figure he was. Segovia single-handedly put the instrument on the map by making classical guitar concerts popular events, broadening the instrument's repertory through commissions and transcriptions, and convincing even doubters that it could be a vehicle for serious music. He's heard here in brief pieces recorded between 1952 and 1969. Even in those made when he was well into his 70s, his fingers remain nimble and interpretations lively. Listening straight through, one hears many all-time Segovia favorites as Turina's Sevillana and Albeniz's Asturias and Zambra Granadina and renews appreciation for path-breaking composers like Castelnuovo-Tedesco. He wrote extensively for Segovia and his Capriccio diabolico and Tonadilla are pieces of real substance. Disc two is largely made up transcriptions and it's amazing how well so many of them work on the guitar, at least under Segovia's magic fingers. Thus the transformations of Bach's violin music and even a Chopin Prelude sound idiomatic, and the gorgeous melodies of the Canzonetta from Mendelssohn's Op. 12 String Quartet are irresistible here. An entrancing set. --Dan Davis

A Man and His Art - Magnificently Captured.......2007-04-06

This 2-CD set produced by Deutche Grammmophon and first released in 2002 is one set of the hundreds that could have been or the dozens that actually have been made and sold successfully all over the world. The exceptional feature of this particular collection is not, of course, the performer. Quite to the contrary, the miraculous consistency of stylings and performance are amongst the most remarkable aspects of the man who was, arguably, the 20th Centry's virtuoso supreme of the classical guitar, Andres Segovia (1893-1987.) Rather, it is the collection itself - the pieces chosen to be produced on this one set - this, to steal a German word, gestalt. While his style did not remain constant throughout his long life and career, by the time he had developed his most masterful skills that included doing his own arrangements - the era represented on this particular set (1951-1960) - his playing had become completely his own - unchallenged and unmatched by even other clearly great guitarists with whom he shared this era.

There are a total of 31 pieces played on these CDs and while a playlist would be an unnecessary use of space here, a list of the composers represented is not. More than the specific pieces Segovia gives us here, the range of composers chosen by the compilers and editors - with each piece rearranged by Segovia himself, tells us a great deal about his interests, talents and musical range. These composers include:
Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy, John Dowland, Manuel de Falla, Cesar Franke, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Edvard Grieg, George Frederic Handel, Felix Mendelsohn, Frederico Moreno Torroba, Modest Mussorgsky, Nicolo Paganini, Felipe Pedrell, Manuel Ponce, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Joaquin Rodrigo, Albert Roussel, Domenico Scarlatti, Alexander Scriabin, Segovia's own composition of Estudio sin luz, Fernando Sor, Francisco Tarrega, Joaquin Turina and Heitor Villa-Lobos. A truly magnificent and broad ranging collection held together by Segovia's unique personal style, approach and sound.

Largely self-taught, Andres Segovia did things with a guitar that others only imagined. He didn't just play Bach, for example - music written for an entirely different type of instrument (keyboards.) He went a step further, and recorder Bach's keyboard lessons written for his students (the Two and Three Part Inventions) and made them sound as if they had been written for the guitar! His artistry is evident to even the casual listener and in this collection, any devote of classical guitar and/or of Segovia as an individual artist, will not be disappointed.
Perfect listening for anytime. Hypnotic and, simply, unsurpassed. A necessary addition to any serious classical guitar collection.

What can you say - it's Segovia!.......2007-02-10

I saw Segovia perform live in my youth. What a treat! Anyone who loves Classical Guitar should love this collection.

EVERYBODY KNOWS.......2007-01-13

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT ANDRES SEGOVIA WAS/IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST CLASSICAL GUITAR PLAYER. THIS CD IS A COMPILATION OF HIS RECORDINGS FROM THE THE EARLY 50'S TO THE LATE 60'S. HIS GUITAR MASTERY IS UNQUESTIONED AND HE IS AN INSPIRATION. I WISH I COULD PLAY GUITAR LIKE ANDRES SEGOVIA (BUT I CAN'T AND I NEVER WILL!).

Immortal guitar.......2006-08-02

Two CD's with Segovia's immortal music - an incredible treat at a great price!

WOW.......2006-02-23

Even though there is hiss from the original analog recordings this one is a must. Segovia! What more can you say. Anyone who likes classical guitar will love this.

Dipping into the latest installment of Disneymania is like hitting the local cineplex to watch a new Pixar flick: by reputation alone, you know your 10 bucks is being well spent. Production quality is only half of it: matching the character or, in this case, the classic Disney song to the unmistakable celebrity voice behind it also can be a real kick (just ask anybody who watched Wanda Sykes play a skunk in Over the Hedge). Which is why the latest disc in this unapologetically spunky series is worth shelling out for. If 3 served up a buffet of pop's bright young things, 4 hauls out a smorgasbord: Christina Aguilera, Teddy Geiger, Jesse McCartney, and Jonas Brothers all line up with their mouse ears in place, delivering renditions that would do Walt Disney himself proud. As is so often the case in the Mania series, though, it's the lesser stars that twinkle brightest. Here, Sara Paxton's big-hearted "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" clobbers the songs around it with raw emotion, and the relatively unknown B5 slay the Big Bad Wolf with some of the catchiest hip-hop to spin off a Disney disc ever. --Tammy La Gorce

Wich songs rock & wich songs suck!.......2007-06-02

1 A Dream is a wish your heart makes is the best song in the whole CD. Everyone sounds great!
2 Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah is ok but it's not the best version.
3 If I never knew you is awesome. The ending is the best part.
4 Who's afraid of the big bad wolf is ok but i don't listen to it that much.
5 Reflection the remix is an awesome song.
6 I'll try waz very suprising. It waz great.
7 Look through my eyes is the best song ever! Everlife's voice at the end roxz.
8 Candle in the water, hated it at first but after a week without hearing it i heard it and loved it. Guess it's one of those songs you need to listen to a lot before you like.
9 You'll be in my heart is the same thing as #8 but now i love it!
10 Hawaiian roller coaster ride Jump5 totally did it better.
11 Someday my prince will come waz kinda fast but i still loved it.
12 Yo ho sucked. The worst jonas brothers song ever.
13 Can you feel the love tonight roxz but i like sclub's version better.
14 SuperCali was ok.
15 Never heard monkey's uncle cuz i don't know who the heck is Devo 2.0.

Pretty good.......2007-04-13

A job well done here. Here is some review like things

Miley Cyrus: sorry to Miley but she is doing a really bad job on Disney Mania she has done Part Of Your World on num five. I just find it weird I find it so easy to listen to her in Hannah Montana and doing duets with her dad. But on disney mania she overdoes it. Her voice sounds like oh I don't know how to describe it.

Ashley Tisdale: her version of kiss the girl is on disney mania five and thats good this ones pretty too. Ashley doesn't have the best of voices but she is better than some when she is given good matirel.

The Cheetah Girls: now this song rocks. If I Never Knew You is very pretty. I like this version better. But the people out there who hate these remakes don't let them get to you if you like these songs cause they are just not flexible to modern change. Anyway this song is modern change and it is very good

there are lots more on this CD that are good to so enjoy I would remomend you get it.

from Sabrina who is addicted to Disney

Good for the kids..........2007-04-06

I grew up with Disney songs; beautiful, romantic, and touching songs that you fall in love with over and over again.

Disney's idea of re-designing these songs wasn't a bad one, but risky. There are now five albums, that in my opinion and my young neice's opinion, have gotten steadily worse.

We have our favorite songs, such as Album 4's "I'll Try" by Jesse McCartney and Albums 3's "Reflection" by Christina Aguilera. These stay fairly true to the melody, and are a breath of fresh air to listen to.

However, other songs, like Skye Sweetnam's rendition of "Part of Your World" on Album 3 and Sarah Paxton's version on "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" on Album 4, are ones my neice and I skip over. The difference with these two songs is that the melody was changed (up-tempo) so much that we want to cover our ears!

I wish Disney would keep the melody the same as the originals, and just have their stars singing it like it should be. If they did this, I wouldn't be surprised it more teenagers like myself bought these CDs.

Also, if their voices matched the song better. For instance, I know Miley Cyrus is huge right now. But her voice hardly matched "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Da" at all! If they want these popular stars, at least give them music that matches their range.

Disneymania, Vol. 4.......2007-01-16

Perfect gift for a tiny-bopper. I normally dread the idea of finding room for all the gifts after the holidays but the gift of music was the way to go this year. My little girl is almost 8 and Disney is not risky with its music.

Disney keeps going with good stuff.......2007-01-05

These are songs from the Disney Channel. Good Songs for kids.

Old School Review.......2007-01-17

This CD and the music chosen for it has brought back many memories of those fun times. The beat, rhythm and vocals are great. I just feel like dancing every time I play this CD.

You have got to be kidding.......2006-09-23

I get so tired of seeing the same songs put on Old school CD's. All they know is Maze "Before I let go" and the Isley Brother's "Between the Sheet", these artist have other hit songs that are worthy of Old School type CD's. If I see "More Bounce to the Ounce" on another CD, I am going to scream.

classic jams.......2006-08-22

This is a great CD. Highly recommend it to those who danced in the 80's.

Old School Jam - JAMS!.......2006-01-15

Great collection...brings back great memories. Highly recommended.

WHAT!!!.......2005-12-03

This was FAN TAS TIC, it brings back memories of house parties, jamming til the early morn'. My friends and family all want to borrow the CD's, I suggested they buy their own because it is an investment they won't regret. Loving and listening to it 24/7.

Great collection of songs you'll recognize .......2007-07-13

This collection is a great mixture of the songs I was listening to on the radio in my pre-teen years. But they are 1000 times clearer now, the talent of the singers is more evident and the melodies are much more enjoyable.

Song's of the great 50's.......2000-06-11

I've heard and played all of these song's from back in the 50's on this CD. Some of the greatest music of all time's came from that era. I am looking for the song's "Love Walked Right In" & "Hernandoes Hideaway" from that era. The Singer's I can't remember. If you can be of help, I am Larry F. Rees "E" mail - lfr@ee.net Thank You

Though he's as close to being the quintessential trance DJ as anyone, Tiësto has in the past used his mix records to drop new, sometimes challenging material (e.g., 2003's Nyana). But that's never been what the Sunrise records are about. Like 2004's Olympics-anthem release Parade of the Athletes, the vibe is all-inclusive, overtly positive, and infused with a strong orchestral bent that broadens its appeal. The first disc works up a lather after a lukewarm start, ending strongly with tracks from Gabriel & Dresden and BT ("Force of Gravity," spiffed up with a Tiësto remix). The second disc isn't so shy, though the Ibiza sheen gets a little glossy. If there's one thing this DJ can do, it's convincingly integrate a distinctive vocal ("Silence," anyone?), and his collaboration with Aqualung's Matt Hales on "UR" is no exception. One gets the sense that Sunrise 4 could have been just one disc and still delivered the essential punch--but even though it's a bit bloated, this collection unquestionably has the epic heft for which Tiësto is known and revered. --Matthew Cooke

More house than trance.......2007-06-06

This is my first Tiesto CD that I heard. IMO It's a very good House CD. Not as laid back as I would have liked to call it a trance CD.

Once again, great CD. .......2007-05-07

This is yet again, a great CD by Tiesto. However, I still liked Panama better, although just slightly, and so I think that this album deserved a four out of five stars. I love Tiesto's stuff, so I hope he keeps on pullin through!

5 Stars for reeeaaalll!.......2007-03-07

Alright I'll break it down to you due to the fact that you're debating about buying this CD right? Let me put it this way, if you love trance than you love this CD--honestly. Trance can't get better than this! Both discs are beyond solid. Go ahead and buy it! Trust me you won't regret. FYI, also check out vol. 5 and Armin Van Buuren's "In State of Trance 2006". They're both top notch just like this one!
