4 out of 5 stars It's good, but! .......2007-05-12

As with all greatest hits packages theirs a lot of the radio friendly stuff and not enough of the really good stuff. Heart are a great band period. Their early stuff is simply fantastic and truly stands the test of time. The reinvented 80's heart was also very good, even if it's not quite as good as the early releases were. Their latest release, Jupiter's Child was a back to the basics what got us noticed in the first place release and it was another gem.

Ann and Nancy and supporting cast should be very proud of what they've accomplished in their careers. They have given us some true classics to look back on with fond memories and they have given us some newer releases that are every bit as good and even fresh sounding in a world of corporate crap.

I really wish Heart would go back and re-master all their releases and give us the listener a Sabbath style Black Box release and that would truly be a greatest hits package.

This collection of tunes is very good, but any true heart fan will be disappointed as it's just missing to much good stuff!!

I give it a 4 because it's Heart and because it rocks from start to finish, but I want more!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars The Best Best of Heart.......2007-01-12

This compilation from the Capitol Epic label is the best available over- view of the female operated hard rock band Heart. It has all the great songs from their early, middle and late periods. The early period features hard rock with incredible guitar performances, the middle period (after their lead guitarist was fired for drug burn-out) features fine rock arrangements and great songs. The late period has beautiful arrangements of beautiful songs beautifully sung. For someone wanting to find out what Heart is all about, this is the double CD to buy. My only beefs are the few live performances here are not their best and you only get the reprise of "Dreamboat Annie," one of their best songs.

1 out of 5 stars SONY MUSIC producing defective HEART cds.......2006-12-09

I bought the "Essential Heart" cd from Tower Rercords this weekend.
I just tried listening to it but Track #17 SKIPS and shuts down my media player.

The store (TOWER) is closing down & they refuse to even EXCHANGE IT!
They told me to contact the ones who release this album. All the info. & links on the back of the cd are no longer valid. I went to SonyMusic and even their links to this cd are defunct. I was able to find [...]which links back to SonyMusic - but when I call the two "QUALITY MANAGMENT" phone numbers they have, both are defunct and refer me back to the store I bought it from.

I am extremely angry and want my $15 back! No wonder Tower is going out of business with such bad customer service. All I'm going to be more careful before I buy a Sony/CapitolRecords cd!

4 out of 5 stars Great, but it's missing a few songs........2006-11-10

I would have given this compilation a 5-star review except that there were four great songs that were ommited: 1. "Strong, Strong Wind" 2. "Surrender to Me" 3. "Tall, Dark, Handsome Stranger" 4. "Back to Avalon". Other than that, this is a wonderful 2-CD package from an awesome group.

5 out of 5 stars Best of the best.......2004-03-14

There's something for every Tchaikovsky lover on this disc. From Swan Lake to Onegin, many of Tchaikovsky's most-known melodies are on this disc. I'd have preferred more than an excerpt of the first movement of Piano Concerto No. 1, but this disc is a great introduction to Tchaikovsky's works.

5 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled........2007-05-30

The cover can be deceptive, but trust me, Krystal still ROCKS! The cover looks like the early Britney, but Krystal is far from that lost soul. Take a listen and check out her vids on Yahoo! You will not be disappointed, unless you miss one of her concerts this summer....

4 out of 5 stars Good CD for any age.......2007-05-13

I bought this CD because I liked Krystal's first CD, but wow, "Dying for a Heart" was much better than even her first album!

Her voice is beautiful and unique and by the songs you can tell she has a passion for God.

You would think (as I did at first) that she would have more appeal to the younger group, but hey, I liked it! I think this CD will appeal to any generation. Enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars A Worthwhile Album.......2007-05-09

Krystal Meyer's second album is another quality effort. She has a beautiful voice that she uses in positive ways. Her songs are solid Christian pop/rock. She makes it clear that Christ is her focus. She does that while making very pleasing music.

There are several very good songs on this CD. One particular standout is, 'The Beauty of Grace'.

I would recommend this album. It is one that will be particularly good for teenage girls/young women.

5 out of 5 stars Refreshingly good!.......2007-03-29

It was inevitable that people would compare Krystal Meyers to Avril Lavigne, but honestly after listening to this cd (and listening and listening...) I have to say that Krystal is in a whole different leauge than Avril. She is exceptional on this 2nd album. I also reccomend checking out the video for "Beauty of Grace" its the best music video I've seen so far in 07 (in ANY genre!) Way to go Krystal!

4 out of 5 stars Solid sophomore release.......2007-03-19

When making a sophomore album, an artist has two basic choices: Try a new direction and risk losing the audience built up by the debut, or keep the same basic sound and risk making the follow-up album sound like merely a repeat of the first one. Either way, the goal is to avoid getting the album labeled "sophomore slump."

Krystal Meyers has chosen the latter route on her second album, sticking with pretty much the same sound she had on her first album. There are some minor differences - the rhythm guitars are heavier, bringing more power to the album, but the melodies are more pop, offsetting the heavier guitars, with the end result being something similar to her debut but at least not sounding completely identical to it.

There are some weaknesses on this album not found on her first, though. The melodies on most songs on this album seem less catchy and memorable than those on her first album (despite the more pop sound of this one), and the lyrics are not nearly as compelling, at least to me. It's a great energetic album, another solid, excellent production from Krystal Meyers, an album that I listen to frequently and I do enjoy, but doesn't quite measure up to her debut.

The album begins with a powerful opener that does have a memorable melody, though a bit too pop, and a vertical focus: "Collide: Crash into me--I want to be broken by You and made brand new." The second song has my favorite lyrics on the album, words along the theme of such books as "Waking The Dead" by John Eldredge, "Don't Waste Your Life" by John Piper, or "The Barbarian Way: Unleash The Untamed Faith Within" by Erwin Raphael McManus: "It's time I start to LIVE, unafraid of tomorrow, knowing You're in control--life wasn't meant to waste away." I also like the words in "The Beauty Of Grace" and "Hallelujah," whose subjects you can surmise from the titles.

What brings the album down are some of the other songs' lyrics. "Only You Make Me Happy" and "Together" have some awkward lines--"Elvis is dead, but my King is alive" from the former, and "Loneliness is our disease, still we bite the hand that feeds" from the latter. I haven't yet quite figured out the exact meanings of "Love Is On The Run," "Stand And Scream" or "Shake It Off." And I find one of the points in "The Situation" to be rather offensive. This song deals with the sexual temptations single people face--particularly young people judging by the context of these lyrics, though not exclusively--first dealing from a girl's standpoint, then from a boy's standpoint. What bugs me about her stance on the boy is that she makes it sound like the only reason young guys push the limits physically with girls is to "be a man," a trophy kind of thing, not recognizing that a boy is probably more likely to be truly fond of the girl but is just thinking with the wrong head.

While these complaints of mine make this album not as appealing as her debut, this is still an excellent album that I would highly recommend. Her first album would be 4.9 stars in my book, while this one would be about 4.1 stars...still excellent, just slightly less so. The energy is still there, and there are some moments of beauty that surpass anything on the debut. "The Beauty Of Grace" is a power pop ballad that immediately screams "I'm a radio hit!" It's as perfect in the pop-rock world as Stacie Orrico's "I Promise" or "That's What Love's About" are in the dance-pop world. This album ends with a beautiful, melodic song, "Hallelujah," that like "The Beauty Of Grace," is a spine-tingler.

So, while there are some disappointing moments on this album, there is plenty to please, and enough solid material that I expect Krystal Meyers will continue to turn out albums definitely worth having.

5 out of 5 stars wonderful.......2007-04-04

This record is wonderful; simply Jessye Norman. What else can I say: loved it!

5 out of 5 stars Favorite Soprano: Gorgeous Dramatic Voice.......2006-11-05

The first time I ever heard Jessye Norman sing was a recording of Dich Teure Halle from Wagner's Tannhauser, and I was immediately enchanted. She has a gorgeous ringing tone and powerful voice. However, she can also bring her voice to a delicate sweetness that other dramatic sopranos find difficult. This album is put together particularly well. I love her Carmen and Isolde here, but I cannot stop listening to the other songs either, the non-operatic ones included. This my favorite CD, and I would definitely reccomend it to anyone considering the purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.... if you get it somewhere else.......2006-05-28

I got it for HKD $69 in HKV in Hong Kong (which is around 8.70USD)

5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE..........2006-02-09

The American soprano Jessye Norman was born in Augusta, Georgia (the segregated South) on September 15, 1945 in a family of amateur musicians; her mother a pianist, her father a singer in a local choir.

Norman received a scholarship to Howard University (a historically black university in Washington, D.C.) -NOT INDIANA-, graduating in 1967 with a degree in music. The following year, she won the ARD International Music Competition in Munich. She made her operatic debut in 1969 as Elisabeth in Richard Wagner's Tannhäuser at the Berlin State Opera, and in subsequent years performed with various German and Italian opera companies. She returned to the US to make her professional concert debut at Lincoln Center in 1973.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Voice.......2005-07-06

Jessye Norman has possibly the greatest voice I have ever heard. Being a bass/baritone, I usually shy away from higher voices (especially tenors), but I find this soprano to be flooring. For being a classicaly trained vocalist (she attended Indiana University) Ms. Norman has an incredibly versatile voice. In this album alone, she sings broad French arias, light Mozart, spirituals, and Broadway. Each is done superbly. Out of every track, her rendition of "Ave Maria" is my favorite. She sings it so tenderly and intimately, it is like she is singing it directly in front of you. You will be moved, certainly.

I suggest this CD to everyone, a fan of classical music or not. It is important for everyone to have these songs to relax, calm down, or to just listen to. You would not regret it.

    Just as beautiful as you remembered from years past. Joan has a clear, sweet voice and these live versions of the old favorites are wonderful.

    5 out of 5 stars It's Surreal!!!.......2000-08-30

    Joan's voice is at it's magical best especially with songs like Sacco and Vanzetti and Blowin in the Wind. A stunningly powerful performance that left me wanting for more.

    5 out of 5 stars ¡Fantástico!.......2000-06-26

    5 out of 5 stars Robert King deserves to be famous in America, too.......2006-07-23

    Robert King and his King's Consort have made dozens of recordings, establishing themselves in London as a pre-eminent Baroque group. They benefit greatly from King's unflagging energy and musical insight. Twenty years ago you couldn't say that the period movement had attracted the best musicians and conductors. That situation has changed radically, and this sampler CD from King's complete recordings exhibits first-class playing throughout. Baroque singing is at a high level, too, but you couldn't say that his singers are of Met or Royal Opera House quality--even so, they are very good.

    As an indicator of the strides that period performance has made, this is an eye-opening CD, but it's also engaging for the general listener, like me, who only dips into Handel's many, many operas and oratorios occasionally.

    5 out of 5 stars Bargain-priced first-class overview.......2006-05-01

    This is a great CD for beginners, but also for those who already have a few Handel CDs. So often samplers have all the favourites which you already have on other CDs. But this set has a few well-known tracks, such as Zadok the Priest, See the Conqu'ring Hero Comes and La Rejouissance from The Fireworks, but mostly wonderful music, superbly played which is not extremely well known.

    Highly recommended.
