5 out of 5 stars A really Fine Romance.......2007-07-05

It doesn't get any better than these two playing these guys! Some of it was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Use your imagination... It's all just swell.

5 out of 5 stars A Musical Treat.......2006-01-08

"The true mission of the violin is to imitate the accents of the human voice, a noble mission that has earned for the violin the glory of being called the king of instruments." ~ Charles-Auguste De Bériot ~

Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grapelli together had made some of the most beautiful music ever-recorded. And I believe that this is one of the many successful albums they recorded together. In this recording, both violinists have showed their excellent musicianship and interpretative eloquence as well, making it one of my most cherished CDs from my collection.

These are the main ingredients of a perfectly-made CD for your listening pleasure: mix violins, piano, bass and drums together, combine two terrific violinists, season with the best melodies in the 20s, 30s and 40s from Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart. Add the musical talents of Nelson Riddle, Max Harris, Martin Taylor, Eddie Tripp, Alan Clare and the rest of the studio musicians. Now all you have to do is to sit back, relax and savor these stunning melodies coming from your CD player. Listen to it in full-volume and fill your music room with the sheer beauty of these classics.

One of my favorite musical instruments is violin. With its four strings, it gives a whole wide range of musical versatility and I simply love the fascinating sound it produces.

My personal highlights are the best tunes from Jerome Kern - "The Way You Look Tonight" (Nelson Riddle arranged this particular track and conducted the Woodwind and Brass section), "A Fine Romance," "Pick Yourself Up," "Why Do I Love You?" and "All The Things You Are."

My choices from Irving Berlin's gems are - "Isn't It A Lovely Day?" featuring the great artistry of Nelson Riddle in arranging and conducting, "Cheek To Cheek" and "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm."

The Cole Porter repertoire represented his musical sophistication in "Night And Day," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Just One Of Those Things."

The choice cuts from the talented and creative team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are "My Funny Valentine" and "Thou Swell."

Listening to this CD is so delectable and equivalent to having my favorite dessert - be it Tiramisu, New York Cheesecake, Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Soufflé, Créme Brulee, Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate-Coated Strawberries! ;)

A musical treat.

      Album Description

      This is his 18th album in 15 years, but the guru of the Hammond is anything but stale on this groove-laden long-player. High on funk, long on soulful organ fills, & full of the Quartet's trademark finesse, this album proves that there is only Room At The Top for one British jazz/R&B combo. 15 tracks. 2002.

            5 out of 5 stars Worth the price.......2000-03-09

            The songs included on this three-song disc are "Room at the Top," "Sweet William," and "Angel Dream" (not "Lonesome Sundown" as reported in another review here). It is the middle song that is the true star of this rare release. Sweet William is one of the most obscure, rocking-est songs Tom Petty has ever put forth. This one is a raucous celebration of major guitar riffs by Mike Campbell, some terrific hardcore jamming by the Heartbreakers, and smokey lyrics by Petty himself. This one cut really harkens back to the loud garage bands of yesteryear. Room at the Top is a fine tune and really a terrific, complex song from the most recent Heartbreakers album Echo. Included also is Angel Dream--one of Petty's admitted personal favorites. It is sweet and haunting and remains an overlooked Heartbreaker gem. However, overshadowing it all is Sweet William. A true treat for anyone willing to buy this import.

            5 out of 5 stars Petty's best "unreleased" song is included on this single.......1999-10-15

            Tom Petty really dropped the ball. The inclusion of "Sweet William," a previously unreleased track borne out of the "Echo" album recordings should have been included on the album itself. Instead, it bows here as a pseudo-"B side" on this cd single. Without hyperbole, it is one of his best rockers of all time. The single includes "Room at the Top" and "Lonesome Sundown" but it is "Sweet William" that really shines. The song includes some tremendously wicked guitar licks. I don't know who's to thank for the jams: Petty or Mike Campbell. The price is a bit steep but if you want to get ahold of a rare Tom Petty gem, get this disc. Any Petty fan will not be disappointed.

            2 out of 5 stars A strange experience..........2003-11-03

            They're both brilliant violinists but in very different genres, and Menuhin by his own admission never learned to improvise (unlike many of today's classical performers): he was trained in the post-Liszt, pre-jazz window when improvisation had died out in classical music and even cadenzas followed the score strictly (if Beethoven didn't write one, play Kreisler's). And it shows, rather painfully. He achieves a brilliant tone but that's about it: he plays these Broadway tunes completely "straight", and any student could do that equally well.

            The CD is worthwhile for its curiosity value, but you'd get much better musical value buying Grappelli's jazz and Menuhin's classical recordings separately.

            Music just does not get any better than this CD! I am a musician and hearing these two artists is a thrill. This is a CD for all music lovers. You will not be sorry if you purchase this CD

            You simply can't go wrong with a combination of two of the most talented violinists of our time. This cd is a wonderful showcase for them both and the choice of music is the greatest classics. It's a fun, winner of a cd.

It is the middle song that is the true star of this rare release. Sweet William is one of the most obscure, rocking-est songs Tom Petty has ever put forth. This one is a raucous celebration of major guitar riffs by Mike Campbell, some terrific hardcore jamming by the Heartbreakers, and smokey lyrics by Petty himself. This one cut really harkens back to the loud garage bands of yesteryear. Room at the Top is a fine tune and really a terrific, complex song from the most recent Heartbreakers album Echo. Included also is Angel Dream--one of Petty's admitted personal favorites. It is sweet and haunting and remains an overlooked Heartbreaker gem. However, overshadowing it all is Sweet William. A true treat for anyone willing to buy this import.

            5 out of 5 stars Petty's best "unreleased" song is included on this single.......1999-10-15

            Tom Petty really dropped the ball. The inclusion of "Sweet William," a previously unreleased track borne out of the "Echo" album recordings should have been included on the album itself. Instead, it bows here as a pseudo-"B side" on this cd single. Without hyperbole, it is one of his best rockers of all time. The single includes "Room at the Top" and "Lonesome Sundown" but it is "Sweet William" that really shines. The song includes some tremendously wicked guitar licks. I don't know who's to thank for the jams: Petty or Mike Campbell. The price is a bit steep but if you want to get ahold of a rare Tom Petty gem, get this disc. Any Petty fan will not be disappointed.
