5 out of 5 stars Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

5 out of 5 stars Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

5 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

3 out of 5 stars Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderfully fine performance.......2004-10-10

This is one opera I have been searching for for a very long time. I read about it in a book about Sullivan. Of course, when they wrote of the opera, they showed the scene, in drawing, where Rebecca informs Ivanhoe of the battle with the Black Knight. The drawing (based on the actual performance when it premiered) grabbed my attention completely. I just wondered what this composer could do with real opera (I loved his operettas completely, and they showed quite often Sullivan was quite capable of deep emotional pathose, even if in the end he was spoofing it more than reflecting it).

Well, all the years of searching and waiting to know were not a waste. Firstly, I have never been able to locate a score of this work (as I have done with many ancient operas or forgotten ones), so I was just as in the dark as anyone else as to what to expect. I was incredibly surprised, not to mention, thrilled with the results. No, Sullivan is no Wagner, nor is he even Verdi, but he is wonderfully beautiful in his own right. Why this work has not entered into the opera houses, I have no clue, excepting maybe because it is English opera, which never does well. Speaking of "ENGLISH OPERA", here we have a recording where for the most part we CAN understand the words (a thing I never seem to find in professional recordings of English opera, or American opera; they may as well sing in gibberish, for that is exactly what it sounds like -- perhaps the composers have no clue what works in their own language?). The performers, as we know, are not professionals, but rather semi-professionals. There are some uneven performances, and sometimes the characters are not quite as developed as one would like, there are even times the orchestra sounds like it lost the beat (but this is EXTREMELY RARE), the sound quality of the recording is OK, but nothing stellar, however, it is not bad either. Yet, in spite of these drawbacks, we CAN and DO understand the words, and for once a rather strange sounding English libretto sounds natural and unforced with stupid poetry that really leaves you laughing. These wonderfully dedicated performers, no matter their individual difficulties, give us a wonderfully vivid performance where we can finally understand the opera (like all our Italian friends do when Italian opera is sung for them). That was such a treat for me, to finally actually understand the words of opera sung in my own language.

What makes this opera such a thrill, at least for me, is the natural fall of the words and the music, especially in the recitatives. Unlike most English opera where the musical line sounds completely foreign to the natural lilt of the words, Sullivan has an uncanny way of writing lines, melodies, and recitatives that flow naturally from the language itself. That was a really exciting experience to endure. For once, I didn't wish that someone would teach the composers to listen to the flow of English to gain an insight into melody. Maybe it was all those operettas that he wrote prior to this "serios opera" that taught him what he knew, or maybe, he just had a good ear for his own language and enough sense to know that trying to graft Italian or German musical idioms onto things just wasn't the correct choice.

Is it a great work? Well, no, it will never get into the record books as a perfect opera, nor will it shove Mozart or Wagner off the stage, but it is really quite good just the same. Even with all the flaws this recording has, I am so glad it is out there so I could at last hear what music fleshed out that old drawing I saw in a book all those years ago. Though Sullivan's music is not anywhere near as dramatic as one may imagine it should be, it fits well with the scene and the over all concept of the work.

I really recommend this recording, for it, at least for now, is the only one we have (and if they make a professional one, I really hope they screen the singers well, no big names if they can't sing English so we can understand it; Sullivan, as with Wagner, you MUST understand the words or the meaning is completely lost). The entire recording is really quite enjoyable, and it doesn't disappoint.

3 out of 5 stars Not ideal, but all there is.......2000-08-05

If you are interested in Arthur Sullivan's Music without Gilbert, this is one of the works you should have in your collection. Unfortunately the quality of the performance is inconsistent. The orchestra is at times good, at others sloppy. The soloists are also of varying quality. This is, after all, a recording by a semi-professional group. That said, if you are willing to accept the flaws, this is currently the only version on disc. Perhaps someday the BBC will record a version, as they did with Sullivan's "Rose of Persia". In the current recording, the most pleasing selections are: The Act 3 Scene 2 ensemble "Look where thy moody father walks apart", Friar Tuck's rollicking "Ho, Jolly Jenkin", The Templar's passionate scene "Woo thou thy snowflake", and Rebecca's evocative aria "Lord of our chosen race". Not all it could be, but it's all we've got.

              Awesome CD, awesome Band, awesome Singer!! This is the band to watch out for in 2006 and beyond. Marty Casey is smoking hot!

              5 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!.......2005-12-22

              Awesome indie album!! Something for everyone: ranges from acoustic "Sleeper" to sizzling "Summer in the City" to hard-driving, head-banging "Real Man". The Lovehammers write great rock music with hooks that keep the songs looping over and over again in your mind. Not to be missed!

              5 out of 5 stars LOVE.LOVE.LOVE This CD!!.......2005-12-08

              As a fan of Marty Casey (from Rockstar:INXS), I originally purchased the Lovehammers CD, Murder on My Mind. I totally enjoyed it. I had to search a bit harder to find this one. My first impression was slight disappointment, as it is much slower, less "hard rock" than MOMM. However, after listening to it a few more times, I like L'Strange so much better than MOMM! I listen to this over and over in my car and I never tire of it. Bulletholes and Never Forget are definitely my favorite songs but the whole CD is great. I highly recommend this!!

              5 out of 5 stars The best Face to Face album by far !.......2006-10-17

              A true punk rock classic one of the rare albums in my collection where every damn song is a classic !

              5 out of 5 stars BUY THIS RECORD.......2004-09-28

              Im a huge fan of this band. Although im older, and my tastes in music have changed...this band, never-the-less this record still is in constant play in my tape deck or CD player nowadays. Every track is awesome, you can relate to all the lyrics. Everyone benifits. Pick up Dont Turn away and youll be holding arguably the best punk rock record of the 1990's!

              5 out of 5 stars A Classic: One Of The Best Punk Albums.......2004-07-23

              This was the first Face to Face album that I purchased in 1994 and I was hooked on the band instantly. This album is truly a punk classic, and I still listen to it almost every week ten years later. The lyrics are inspiring and influential and the music is fast. Every song on this CD is great; however, my favorites are "I'm not Afraid" and "I want."

              This album even has a version of Disconnected for all of you KROQ (Los Angeles) people who are probably only familiar with that song. Anyway, this is an essential album for any music collection. Don't just sit there looking at the screen. CLICK "ADD TO SHOPPING CART" and you will not be sorry.

              "I'm not afraid to face myself but is it me or something else?
              Makes me exactly what I am, that's something I will always doubt." - Trever Keith

              5 out of 5 stars Definetely one of the greatest punk rock albums ever made.......2004-04-26

              Face to Face's debut full length album and in my opinion their best! It starts off with 1,2,1,2,3,4... with one of their best songs, you've done nothing. This album is a must have for any fan of punk rock music, or music in general. I listen to this album on a consistent basis and It's not one of those albums where you skip tracks to get to the good songs. All songs on this album are great, sound wise and lyrically as well. If you've never really heard Face to Face, but this album and you will be a fan!

              5 out of 5 stars 1 2...1 2 3 4.......2004-01-20

              From the measured beginning of the first song, "You've Done Nothing", to the radio friendly hit "Disconnected" to the very last song, "1,000 X" this record will kick your butt! While "Ignorance Is Bliss" is my favorite album from Face to Face, this is the record that propelled them into the public consciousness and rightly so. For straight ahead, heart-pumping punk rock, this is the best there is.
