Customer Reviews:

Very pleased.......2007-06-10

I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this CD. True, I could have listened on line before buying but that would have taken the fun out of the purchase. Besides, I really didn't care for the CD the first couple of times I listened but now I really love it. It's not something to listen to all the time but given the right circumstances e.g. a small gathering of friends, it's perfect. If I'd listened to online, I wouldn't have purchased it.

Sumptuous and mellow.......2002-11-28

The six men of the King's Singers present sweet and light-hearted madrigals of such English composers as Morley, Weelkes, Dowland, Wilbye and Byrd. The thirty five selections include "Now is the Month of Maying", "Though Philomela Lost Her Love", "Sing We and Chant It," the celebration of tobacco entitled "Come, Sirrah Jack, Ho!" and a host of other fa-la-la-la-la venues interspersed with wistful laments. I love the rich, sonorous sound of a male vocal ensemble, with countertenors, tenor, baritones and bass, and these six singers do a great job. Occasional instrumental accompaniments by lute and tabor are included, but this group doesn't really need it--I could listen to them for hours all by themselves. Also quite enjoyable, as well as educational, is their earlier release, "The King's Singers' Madrigal History Tour: Italy, England, France, Spain and Germany". For a more risque' take on the vocal music of Renaissance England, you might get a kick out of "The Art of the Bawdy Song" by the Baltimore Consort with the Merry Companions.

One of the Best Collections of English Madrigals.......2002-03-27

Any fan of the King's Singers will regret not having this album in their collection.

This album offers a veritable feast of the choicest English madrigals found on any comparable album. From the obligatory "Now is the Month of Maying" and "Fair Phyllis" to the more obscure "Tan ta ra, cries Mars," there is certainly enough on this album to bring a smile to lovers of Renaissance music - and a spark of recognition to anyone who sang traditional madrigals in high school or university. For serious students of early music, this album comes very highly recommended.

Among the more sonorous offerings on this album, Jones' "Farewell, Dear Love" and Dowland's "Come Again," cannot be ignored. Nor can Bennet's immortal "Weep O mine eyes" be matched more musically than here by the King's Singers.

This album has been played again and again for almost 6 years as both serious listening and background working music. And it has yet to lose its delight.

A Delightful Collection of English Madrigal.......2000-08-16

With 35 tracts to enjoy you're sure to find a couple of favorites. I gave this CD 4 of 5 stars compared to 5 stars for the King's Singers World Madrigal Tour CD. If you prefer all your songs in English, this will be your 5 star CD. Tract 32 "Come again" is my favorite due to the surperb tenor lead and melodic development. Compared to many polyphonic early music styles (1300s-1485), this era (1500-1610) provides many memorable melodies.

A wide variety.......2000-04-28

This is an excellent sampling of English madrigals. This presentation, given by an older roster of the Singers, is a nice introduction to the world of the madrigal, and English madrigals in particular.

A Real Treat!.......2007-02-16

As someone who works from home, this is a wonderful collection to put on during the day. The beautiful arrangements of some of film's most memorable music is a treat to listen to day in and day out. I was one of those looking for music from the "Cousins" soundtrack. I'm so much happier to have found this CD with more great music than I could've bargained for. I'm very glad to have this in my collection!

I LOVE IT!!!.......2005-09-11

The producers of Mike Leigh's vibrant Topsy-Turvy took many big studio meetings seeking financing for their film. Word has it all went swimmingly until time for the pitch came--there are apparently no two words as unsettling to Hollywood film execs as "Gilbert & Sullivan." But the studio system's loss turned out to be the indie film's--and our--gain. Leigh's film brought the composers' late-19th-century mounting of their breakthrough The Mikado to an all-too-familiar life, filled with as many neuroses, foibles, and fragile egos as any modern Broadway musical. The film's score, an inviting pastiche adapted from Mikado (and other G&S staples) by veteran Carl Davis, may upset purists with its time-conscious liberties. But then, it might just win over a receptive yet unexposed new audience for whom this music may seem strangely familiar, as well it should: this is where modern musical theater began. --Jerry McCulley

Here's a How-De-Do!.......2007-02-22

It's brilliant, really! I am a self-confessed Gilbert and Sullivan fanatic, and so the release of this soundtrack to accompany a truly delightful movie provided me with an "Oh, joy! Oh, rapture!" moment ... many of them, actually! To hear some of my favorite tunes from some of my favorite G & S operetti performed so well makes my heart "sing-o" - and me, too!

Topsy-Turvy is TOPS!!!.......2007-02-21

This is Gilbert and Sullivan like you will never hear again! These performances are so fresh and alive with comedy flourish that my formerly "purist" ears reveled in delight at this magnificeant rendition of these great operettas.It is wonderful to hear excerpts from PRINCESS IDA,IOLANTHE and SORCERER (as well as THE MIKADO) when so many recordings already exist of the other G&S chestnuts,PINAFORE and PIRATES OF PENZANCE.
The actual cd itself fills the speakers and is a true listener's dream.A great soundtrack of a great film.Wonderfully recorded by SONY.

Superb.......2005-02-25

This is a fantastic cd, one that I have listened to many many times without growing tired of it. The particularly nice thing about this cd for lovers of the movie is that you get to hear the entire performance for many songs which are necessarily cut short in the film, most enjoyably "A Wandring Minstrel I". As has been noted in other reviews, the vocal performances are not what you will typically find in other G & S recordings: they are far less burdened with mannered belle canto nonsense, to their immense benefit. And I must disagree with one reviewer who disparaged the staging as portrayed in the film. My wife and I saw a touring production of the Mikado which used the costumes and set from the movie, and it was fantastic. Even better, the performers seemed to take some cues from the film actors too, singing and performing in a way that was much more accessible and not a bit less pleasing.

Better than many a G&S non-sountrack.......2003-09-16

I was compelled to get this after seeing the overlong, flawed, but nonetheless all-around amazing 'Topsy Turvy'. (Seriously - almost every supporting actor in the film deserved an Oscar, and Jim Broadbent was robbed; his Gilbert is magnificent and real.)
Inspired then to hear a true G&S performance, I bought several Carte recordings. What broke my heart is that the genuine Savoy performances are not as good as those of the 'Topsy' actors! Contrary to a review here, the articulation is just dandy. And the tenor in 'Wand'ring Minstrel' alone is far, far superior to the thin, reedy, annoying versions on the several concert cds I've heard. As is the riveting soprano on the beautiful 'The Sun Whose Rays...' of 'Topsy'; again, the actual Savoy recordings are merely shrill in comparison.
I remove one star only because of the necessarily abbreviated performances here.

Put on the CD, close your eyes and..........2003-03-02

You are back in the Savoy Theater in Victorian England, watching a Gilbert and Sullivan production of the Mikado, or Yeoman of the Guard, or the Sorcerer, or Princess Ida. The qualiity of the music is superb, the voices are wonderful and I only wish I could have videos of all the G&S productions to watch along with the music.

Buy the DVD of Topsy-Turvy if you don't already own it. It's magnificent. See my other review.

Home Alone Movies.......2004-09-03

I Love Both 1 and 2 of the Home Alone Movies , but i dislike 3 and 4 , i dont supose anyone knows the song that uncle frank sings in home alone 2 in the shower ?

a really must have ^_^.......2004-08-01

Well unfortunately not all the soundtrack used in the movie is on the cd but MARK WILLIAMS from SCOTLAND asked about the song in Home Alone when Kevin is shaving and singing a song it's called (I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas for Frank Sinatra) and there's another song in the same movie when Kevin is moving the shadows when having a party on X-mas eve it's called (Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree) so if these 2 songs were in the cd it'd be just perfect.
all the best

^_~ Ray , KUWAIT

I love it!.......2002-08-11

I have to get the soundtrack, the film just sells it to me! One thing however, i remember in HA2 that when kevin does his shopping in the start of the movie and all the sightseeing, i remember a song about shopping on fifth avenue and things. I really enjoyed the song, is it on the CD or does anyone know what it is called?

Regards,

Mark, 20, Scotland.

Can't believe it's out of print.......2001-12-04

This is one of my all-time favorite holiday CDs, and I'm heartbroken that you can only buy it used. I hope it gets reissued.

Definitely good stuff.......2000-11-08

This is a great CD, it's full of great Christmas music, and I'd substitute it for any other holiday CD. The songs are all great, and they're a nice compliment to the first Home Alone soundtrack. BUY IT!

Better than I expected.......2007-01-24

I bought this after hearing Mind.in.a.Box's second album ("Dreamweb") first, and while "Lost Alone" doesn't have any of the big powerful smashing songs, I think this album is overall better. Every track consistantly brings the melodies and voice modulation that I have come to love from this band. And while industrial music's lyrics sometimes make me cringe, Mind.in.a.Box does not suffer from this problem.

When I listen to this, I don't have to skip any of the tracks, but on the flip side, none stand out as better -- very consistant. Similar artists are few, but I'd place VNV Nation among their ranks. Industrial music is not my favorite genre, but this album is a "diamond in the rough".

My best buy in a while.......2005-08-14

I found this to be an album where you have to listen to it, start to finish.. it's, in a sense, like an unfolding story, done with very good atmosphere and rhythm. It's not exactly the most club-friendly disc around, but with the abdunance of club-friendly, lyrically-lacking material around now.. that's not a bad thing, at all. The lyrics are very involved and sensible.

That's not to say that the album is musically boring.. it just approaches it in a different way. It's not a constant 120 bpm throughout.. it's varied throughout, with well-timed peaks and build-ups when needed.

A complaint I've heard a lot of is about the vocals.. and to that, I can only say, it mixes so many kinds of vocals through the length of the album that it's never monotonous.. and it's a different way of approaching the vocals. A lot of bands take a single method.. such as VAC's cookie monster vocals, or totally natural, unmodified vocals.. whereas this band mixes nearly every spectrum into the album. They approach everything in a different way, and different is good.

It was bands like Assemblage 23 and De/Vision which drew me away from the sagging mainstream that's so.. boring, to say it bluntly, and after some years listening to this scene, it became apparent that a lot of bands were just copying others, resting on the laurels of those before. It's bands like Mind.In.a.Box that remind some people that the genre is far from dead, and far from played out.. and this album is a perfect start for exploring the "off the beaten path" of the electronica scene.

Impressive Debut That Understands When Less Is More.......2005-07-07

Many electronic bands try to constantly beat you over the head with high energy and hyper-speed beats throughout the entire album. That really isn't very interesting. Just like having sex or being a baseball pitcher (you didn't think you'd ever see those 2 things together now did you?), it's important to know how and when to change speeds. M.i.a.B. have figured this out early on. They also do a great job of creating atmosphere without boring the listener. The FX are interesting while never bombastic.

The complaint, from the few who are complaining, concerns the vocals and I disagree wholeheartedly. They mix up the sound of the vocals frequently and it's very engaging. They layer various vocal FX, male and female sounding voices, human and computer, computer and alien voices, all within a single track sometimes and it works well. It also makes a point about how all of these things collide within the context of the M.i.a.B. universe. It's a fine point lost on the people who say, "Duh, me no like da compooter voice." Another point I'd like to make is that if you have a huge CD collection then you shouldn't be looking for the same type of vox on everything that you own. Having a few that heavily incorporate artificial, or greatly altered, voices is fine and in fact desireable. Oh, and if you only have 10-15 Cds in your collection... why the he11 would something this obscure be one of them?! It's an obcure Cd in a genre that prides itself on obscurity. In other words, people are going to take a different approach to things.

The CD has numerous good songs with a perfect array of different speeds and vibes although it all has a very sci-fi overtone. The pervasive air is one of mystery, the mysteries within the human mind to be specific, where other industrial may focus on rage or angst. The music and vocals often are understated as opposed to being in-your-face all of the time. The songs that sound like singles like "Change" tend to build up in non-obvious ways. I think most fans of the genre will love this excellent first strike from M.i.a.B. even though it isn't full of dancefloor stompers.

You Will See.......2005-06-11

LostAlone is an album that transports you to strange intense futurenoir places. Sometimes it fails. But Mind.In.A.Box is a music venture i've been waiting for, and for the first time since the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis, has music been able to create such brilliant atmosphere and tell such emotionally driven stories. "Change" is probably my favorite song on the album, it is strong lyrically and driven by all the aforementioned elements that makes this album strong.

I'm quite fond of the "alien" voice, it enhances the lyrics and sounds great on the dancefloor!

A quality, complex production with a lot of original, memorable songs. It's going to be a hard one to follow up!

Can not get enough!.......2005-04-28

I was exceedingly satisfied with the vocals on this album. This whole album is so intense and new and freakin incredible! The vocal effects create it. I guess some people are used to the same ole' mainstream and they don't understand real art with heart and passion. I heard this album one time on Cyberage Radio and I was hooked. I haven't stopped playing it in months. There's almost a Typo Negative sound in the vocals.. it's deep and sexy. I dig that. And then it switches off. It does have that alien sound to it. It's awesome! It's creative.. it's cool! It sounds killer! It swallows you. It makes you feel and think. That is music to me. It's real. At first, the first two tracks were my favorites.. then I kept playing it over and over and now "You will See" and "Take My Soul" are my current favorites. It's one of those albums where you can't play one song over.. Once you've heard a song, you want to replay it and then the next one comes on and it's ..just as awesome.. so you have to hear that one too.. the entire album is like that. The music is fabulous and the lyrics really hit home. Nothing about it is cliche. It definately comes from a genious mind. I have to be careful when I'm driving to it.. it sucks you in so much, I tend to loose track of how fast I'm going. That's pretty unusual for me. Track 5 "Questions" especially does that to me. I guess maybe you either get it or you don't.. but if you have good taste in music and you appreciate what's great.. you won't be able to stop playing it either.
Listen to it alone. I mean, put on headphones, go outside for a walk and let it absorb you. Listen to what he's saying. If you've ever had a broken heart.. he just states it so perfectly. You can't help but appreciate it.

If you're a fan of the score..........2002-12-09

..then it's advisable leave this edition be and get the brand new Varese Sarabande limited edition Home Alone 2 score on 2-discs with a massive booklet containing loads of info about John Williams music.

This particular edition features cues never before available, including alternate, never before heard cues that take a totally different approach to the ones that ended up in the finished film. Also this release fixes a major problem that dogged the CD release featured here. This soundtrack release was not mastered from the first-generation session masters and, the tape that it was mastered from, was even running at the wrong speed so it sound kind of all off-pitch and 'just odd'. The new limited edition sounds so brand new and approved by John Williams himself. If you have a great sound system then no doubt 'Preparing the Trap'-Disc 2-Track 1, will sound awesome. This is my fave track by the way, it's featured here on the regular release but it doesn't sound as good.

Though if you're not a serious collector and only want to put this on as your family tucks into their turkey then go right ahead and buy it. Any CD with such beautiful Xmas cheer is a good purchase

Another Williams winner!.......1999-12-18

With his second installment of the "Home Alone" scores, John Williams once again captures the beauty of Christmas, the wonder of a big city to a little boy, and the dangers that also dwell there. Add to that songs that are heartwarming, and should remain a Christmastime staple, and you get a thoroughly enjoyable soundtrack, that while extremely fitting for the holiday season, is also good enough to be played all year round.

For this score, Williams brings back his original "Home Alone" themes, complete with the pretty "Somewhere in My Memory". He then adds a number of new variations for tracks like #5 Arrival in New York, and #6 Plaza Hotel and Duncan's Toy Store, which really portray the scenes they coincide with, and further add to the tenor of the soundtrack. He also brings in a new song, "Christmas Star", which although not as pretty as "Somewhere in My Memory", is still a winner.

All in all, Williams did it again, weaving a wonderful masterpiece, and leaving the listener with a good feeling. I definitely suggest getting this and the first "Home Alone" score, if you're a Williams fan, a lover of pretty music, or just looking for some nice christmas music for your parties, or gift opening. You won't be disappointed!

THE BEST!.......1999-10-05

I agree with the music fan from Taiwan. This is the best Chritmas cd ever. I congradulate John Williams for having such talent, and I thank God for giving it to him.

Amazon.com essential recording

Continuing Riccardo Chailly's topical Shostakovich recordings (he's already visited the composer's jazz-inflected and dance pieces), this collection of music for film offers the series greater heft. The music here is as entangled in politics and pop culture as the jazzy and dancy material, but here the emotions are more complex and the execution more exciting.

The films Shostakovich was scoring somehow sought legitimacy or outright approval from Soviet power regimes, but as in all his music, Shostakovich enacted subtle subversions. The parade-step march cadences of The Counterplan are exaggerated just enough to integrate all kinds of conflicting dark undertows, emphasized coyly by Chailly and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. The excerpts from Alone are all over the map, spooky and turbulent and bleak in equal measures, in answer to so many mandated bright, blasting musical ventures elsewhere in the Soviet cultural regime. The works continue until 1967, with a twisty waltz from Sofia Perovskaya, which seems more like a distant comment on the notion of a dance piece than music scripted for dance. For its mix of big, lit sweeps and minute, shadowy motions, this is one of the best single-CD Shostakovich sets--themed or not--in print. --Andrew Bartlett

A Little Gift I Treasure Very Much!.......2007-07-23

I have always been very good about seeing my doctors, etc. regularly, and taking good care of myself.

~flashback to 2002, at my opthalmologist's, and have just had dialators placed in my eyes, and have been shuttled into the inner waiting room until I am ready for my examination. Dr. "D" always had classical music playing at a "just right" level for relaxing. This particular day, this lovely, lilting, and sort of hypnotic piece came over the speakers, lulling me nearly to sleep. I could not get it out of my head, and was still "playing it" in my brain after the visit was over and I was at the reception desk, paying his wife for my visit, and scheduling a two week follow-up. I asked her what had been playing, and so she went in and brought out the two album cases that were in the machine. One was Schubert sonatas--I knew it wasn't that. The other album was this one, the Shostakovich film music. So I thanked her, and said I'd have to watch for it. When I went back for my follow-up, she passed me a little foil shopping bag with a ribbon on the top of it with a cheery "Enjoy, Greg"! In the bag was a copy of this album that she had picked up for me! (Such a lovely lady)

When I got home I played it, and the piece is the op.97, Romance from Gadfly...what a lovely piece of music. Just like a lazy summer afternoon, when you would, surely, see these insects floating indolently in the air.

The other pieces are all very interesting, and fun, too, and this is a wonderful foray into unknown or uncharted waters (at least for me). I love this album, and listen fairly frequently to it. There are 3 albums in a series, this "Film" one, a "Jazz" one, and the "Dance" one. I enjoy all of them, but this one I play most frequently.

Riccardo Chailly is a truly great conductor, I feel, and is one of the few that "take me back", or "make me think about" the conductors from earlier that I remember. This album in particular makes me think, fondly, about Stokowski, and Reiner frequently when I play it. Presentation? Or something else? I do not know, but it does, and, it IS a great album. A worthy addition to your collection, be assurred. ~operabruin

recording of ligfhter music by Shos the heavy composer .......2005-11-24

This recording is excellent. The works are rather light so one does not notice at first that the recording is that good. After some listebning I notice and i Am sure you will do too. Pirogorov and Sofia Petrovskaja i like best. Great recording.

yep, i'd agree.......2004-12-29

This is the perfect album for anyone who believes Shostakovich was only capable of writing music that expressed his inner turmoil.
Here is an album of the composer just doing his job (writing soundtracks for propaganda films) and showing he's capable of playing the field like a consummate pro.
Many of the melodies may sound vaguely familiar, and it's no wonder; they were often pilfered by other assembly line arrangers for Hollywood musicals and other upbeat entertainment.
I'd have to agree with the previous reviewer, who thinks track 25 is the best. It's the Romance from "The Gadfly", which is arguably Shostakovich's greatest melody, played here with perfection; the "lazy" pizzicato and slightly staggered fourth beat in the measure is something I haven't heard before on this piece, and it works very nicely for these ears.

A Unique Collection of Works.......2000-11-25

The film scores of Dmitri Shostakovich are certainly not his best works, but they are definetly worth a look. There is a great range of music on this CD, from the joyful 'Tale of the Silly Little Mouse' to the harshness of 'Hamlet', and Chailly and his players give solid performances throughout. I wouldn't really recommend this as an introduction to Shostakovich's works, but if you're a fan, then it would make a great addition to your collection.

Track 25 is the best.......1999-06-17

Shostakivich wrote some 'heavy' music, but in his better moments he wrote some beautiful melodies (e.g. The Jazz Suite) and film themes including The Tale of the silly little mouse'. What a pity that you have to wait until track 25 for the best piece - the Romance from the 'Gadfly' (Theme music from the BBC series 'Reilly, ace of spies'). The definitive recording of this piece was the version by the USSR Cinema Symphony Orchestra, with Khatchaturian conducting, but the version on this recording is also excellent.

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

Review of Americans in London.......2006-03-09

The recording is excellent and replaces my old 78 recordings which I transferred to tape some years ago. But they have that horrible hissing noise which spoils my enjoyment of them.
It is to be observed that although the cast is American, the orchestras and conductors are British (except for Debroy Sommers). I know qite a bot about Deboy Sommers and Lew Stone, but can anyone fill me in about Reginald Burston?
The CD is great. Thank you to Amazon for this.
