Only half the songs of the original set!!.......2007-01-17

Although I love the CDs, I was disappointed that there were only about half of the songs I thought there would be. I bought the original double cassette set back in the early 90's and when I found the CDs with the same name and cover, I thought I was getting the same thing only on CD. But the Cassettes had twice as many songs, including Let it Snow,Have Yourself a merry Little Christmas,The First Noel, Jingle Bells by Jim Reeves, The Christmas song by the Carpenters and so many others!!

Its all Christmas.......2007-01-09

It reminded me of Christmas as a child. I played this all throughout the holidays.

A Good Basic Collection.......2006-02-11

This is a good, basic collection of Christmas Music. As a general rule, Time-Life has selected what is probably the definative artist/arangement of each song.

My only complaints are that there are only 24 songs on two disks and one or two of them are not ones that I would have picked (not my style).

Overall, it's a good set that I would recommend to anyone who wants to start a collection.

cd reviews.......2006-01-15

this cd was very good, much recommended

Poor Quality.......2005-12-05

The only good thing about this collection is the inclusion of so many Christmas standards. I was very disappointed in the quality of the recordings, they obviously need digital inhancement.

Album Description

Not as famous as he should be, Derroll was a contemporary of Woody Guthrie. He was a singer/songwriter who could make magic on the 5 string banjo. In the mid-1950s he and Ramblin' Jack Elliott headed to Europe. They busked around, made some records and become an important part of the British folk scene. Jack returned to the USA but Derroll stayed on permanently in Europe until his death in 2000 at age 75. He influenced a whole generation of musicians on both sides of the Atlantic. This tribute was lovingly put together by a few of those artists from both sides of the Atlantic to a man they considered a genius, a mentor, and a friend. A 62 page booklet comes with the cd and includes Derroll's life story, photos, reproductions of his artwork, lyrics, more.

An incredible experience.......2005-09-02

I bought this CD for Arlo Guthrie, and found a treasure that I will listen to for years to come. Every song, every performance is so finely tuned (no pun intended) and brilliantly performed. The only performers that I knew besides Arlo were Donovan and Dolly Parton so I had the added treat of finding many new artists. This will be a collector's item, no doubt about it.

gift to a banjo man .......2005-03-04

Though this disc was released in 2002, I learned of its existence only recently. Since it came into my life, it's been practically impossible to remove it from the CD player.

Derroll Adams is little known to most American folk fans. Until I held the CD in hand, I knew four things about him. One, he was the deep-voiced guy who played banjo on some early Ramblin' Jack Elliott records; second, he shows up briefly in the celebrated Dylan documentary Don't Look Back; third, on his 1967 hippie-folk album Gift from a Flower to a Garden, Donovan dedicated a song, "Epistol to Derroll," to him; and fourth, he was an American who lived in Belgium for many years until his death. I learn much more from the fascinating, generous-spirited liner booklet that accompanies the disc. Adams died on February 6, 2000, in Antwerp. The royalties go to his surviving family.

Adams had many loyal and lasting friends on both sides of the ocean. Among them are the folk compadres captured here on this project, conceived and put together by Dutch folk-blues singer Hans Theessink, Arlo Guthrie, and Donovan. The result is music that is both delicate and powerful, simple and complex, warm but not sentimental, and never far from the soul of whatever matter it is addressing. The production is as bare-boned as it could get: acoustic guitars, banjo here and there, the occasional fiddle, the focus on the singing and the telling of the tale, with never a word or note more than necessary.

The songs include a few traditional standards from Adams's repertoire, but here they somehow sound larger than themselves. The performers have polished melody and phrasing so that the songs become newer and deeper, with meanings that you never would have imagined were there to find. It doesn't take you long to grasp that something's up. The first cut, the well-traveled "Columbus Stockade Blues," by Hans, Arlo, and Donovan, will grab your full attention in about the first three seconds. Hans and Arlo's reading of the Roy Acuff warhorse "Freight Train Blues" also surprises and delights, surely the first time it has ever been sung as if it were a rueful reflection on unhappy fate. Wizz Jones transforms the often-recorded Appalachian tragedy "Willie Moore" into something from the same British countryside from which the classic Child ballads sprang. Ramblin' Jack, who contributes three songs, sounds as good as he has in a long time. In a sprightly duet Arlo and Dolly Parton revive the Carter Family's "Dixie Darling." Somehow I doubt that Dolly had ever heard of Adams before Arlo told her about him, but it's nice to have her here anyway.

Donovan resurrects "Epistle," a sort of fairytale song which I remembered as on the twee side, but here it is unexpectedly moving. There's a trilogy of Adams originals, "The Mountain," "The Sky," and "The Valley," the first and third performed by Donovan, the second by Allan Taylor. These are stunning, precise, understated meditations on life, memory, landscape, travel, and music, brilliantly arranged and sung, floating on images that linger to wonder, disturb, and inspire long after the songs themselves have gone silent.

I have never heard a folk album that so seamlessly fused earthiness and spirituality. Banjoman is a thing of the rarest beauty, and as deep and lovely and joyous as a celebration of a folk hero could ever be.

A light and legato approach to Strauss waltzes from the young Welser-Most.......2006-01-05

Franz Welser-Most was thirty in 1990 when he recorded these famous Strauss waltzes and two overtures (Gypsy Baron and Fledermaus). EMU clearly believed they had found their natural Staussian--they assigned a Thomas Hampson operetta recital and the rarely heard Simplicius to W-M. Certianly he has the touch; the Viennese rhythms are impeccable, always alive and moving. There is not a trace of the mechanical; however, W-M may be a touch too legato and light compared to a conductor like Karajan who fully dramatize these works (this is one gypsy baron without Magyar swagger or fire).

If you want waltzes that glide without touching the floor, sing sweetly, and radiate dappled sunlight, this is a five-star recording. I am holding back a star because the London Phil. doesn't play exceptionally, and I do like more drama. Even so, this super-budget CD is miles ahead of programs I've heard from Boskovsky, Mazzel, Kempe, and quite a few others.

Looking for Vienna Ballroom Music?.......2004-11-05

This is it! A inexpensive yet elegant Strauss waltz collection featuring London Philharmonic Orchestra led by Franz Welzer-Most.

Although seven cuts is its entirety, it is over sixty-five minutes of just gorgeous sound to practice your waltz moves or just enjoy this relaxing, beautiful music.

A steal of a deal at this price.

Superb performances of truly great music........2004-05-01

Johann Strauss II is that most rare of composers--a writer whose works gain rapturous popularity with the public while also garnering the praise of the most austere critics. Strauss was the most popular and financially successful composer of his time, travelling the world with his orchestras and making millions (yes, millions) from both his waltzes and his operettas. Meanwhile, musicians on the level of Hans von Bülow, Richard Strauss, Johannes Brahms, and Richard Wagner marvelled at the fertility of his melodic gift and the brilliance of his orchestration. For a composer, this is the ultimate dream, and none have so totally achieved it as Strauss. Perhaps Gershwin comes closest.

In these wonderful performances from the early 1990s, Frans Welzer-Möst, then the wunderkind of the conducting world, performs Strauss' finest waltzes with the London Philharmonic. If you are going to buy only one Strauss recording, let this be it. Welzer-Möst and the Philharmonic completely capture the joy and vibrancy of Strauss' music, and these renditions are possessed of an unusual rhythmic vitality. Perhaps it was the youth and enthusiasm of the conductor, but this is as fine a Strauss recording as I've ever heard.

The waltzes of Strauss capture the romantic neverland of late-19th century Vienna better than any other music. Of course, that world never actually existed, but listening to Strauss' music, one wishes it had.

Awesome blue .......2005-02-24

This album landed on my desk one day from a workmate, his exact words were "...thought you might like this...". Well how right was he. It is a very delightful album, nicely compiled together. I listened to this album in the middle of the night, at a relatively low volume and it was magical. My fav has to be Stay Here the bass on that track is very cool, it makes ya wanna move. City for Us is very good too, all the other tracks are equally good.
Thoroughly recommend this album, you won't be disappointed if you're into jazzy/blue chillout music.

Have You Heard...?.......2004-01-01

I had been eyeing this album for quite some time, and I finally bucked up and bought it. How glad I am! Amazing, I thought of Zero 7 and Goldfrapp while I was listening to this album ( I swear I didn't look at Amazon before writing this review!)! Rachael Cuming has a lovely voice, the songs are eclectic with arrangements lush at some points, sparce at others. Overall a very enjoyable affair. Here's hoping a new album comes along in the near future.

Spacious recording, Viennese charm, grand selection.......2004-11-06

Although this disc can in no way compete with the musicianship and the atmospherics on Willi Boskovsky's New Year concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic, it is nonetheless praiseworthy and recommendable. Ondrej Lenard has proved often enough on disc that he is a fine conductor, and whenever one sees 'Festival Orchestra' on a CD label, one knows that the recording was (probably) made using musicians specially selected for this occasion. The thin Naxos booklet gives no details whatsoever, so it is anyone's guess who is really playing here. Nevertheless, the result is good: The recording is a good deal more direct and spacious than on many other early Naxos discs (this one was recorded in January 1988), and the playing (Strauss is taken at a comfortable speed) is rather attractive with a good deal of Viennese charm about it, despite being recorded in Bratislava in Slovakia. And the Waltz selection is grand: here are all those tunes that many of us grew up with and have always loved

Enjoyable Performances of Delightful Music.......2004-10-16

This bargain-priced CD is a perfectly acceptable recording of Strauss Waltzes, and contains some of the most well-known ones. If you wanted one recording of Strauss Waltzes, this would be an ideal choice.

Confidently recommended

ASMF, The Best Pachelbel Canon Performance!.......2002-01-15

I love classical music and this is one of my favorite classical music CD's which I bought for Pachelbel Canon which is my favorite piece of Classical work and the performance by The Academy of St. Martin's in the Field is my favorite, I first heard it in the Movie Ordinary People when they used Pachelbel Canon by ASMF as their theme and I have just loved it ever since. I have heard others also play Canon but I have found ASMF to be the best! The other Classical works are great too and I very highy recommnd this CD for any fans of Classical music and Pachelbel Canon!
