Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Fayre..........2007-07-06

I'm afraid I can't agree with Captain Jax, when he says Blackmore's Night lack the spark on stage of a realy talented band, I assume he hasn't seen the Castles And Dreams DVD..however, onto this album, my one criticism is that "The Clock Ticks On" is not it..otherwise it's a very good representation of how BN sound live.Everyone plays well Candice is in fine voice and they sound as though they are having a great time, I've been a fan of Ritchie since Deep Purple In Rock, and I think he has paid his dues to the rock world. Carry on Ritchie.This is great music.

This double live album contains an intimate atmosphere from a cool audience which adds to the power of this truly wonderful performance. It's also an excellent sounding live album. You got to love these traveling minstrels. Their live versions are extended and are different from the studio versions. If you haven't heard Blackmore's Night before, "Past Times With Good Company" is a great introduction.

Past Times With Good Company ~ Blackmore's Night: 4 1/2 stars

3 out of 5 stars Brilliant musicianship, sophomoric lyrics and commentary.......2006-03-18

Blackmore's brilliant musicianship is poorly reflected in Candice Night's sophomoric lyrics and commentary. This was OK for the first album and has become more obvious, particularly on this release.

Buy this CD for Blackmore's performance but grit your teeth when Candice Night starts talking like an "Oh wow, isn't this great?" tourist.

1 out of 5 stars What a joke!.......2006-02-07

I can't beleve that Ritchie Blackmore- the premier guitar virtuoso of Deep Purple and Rainbow would plummet to a style that has no relationship with Rock and Roll. This is all midevil crap that sounds like it should be in a musical or footstomp or the toilet! If you are looking for vintage Blackmore don't buy these Blackmore's Knight recordings. You will be disappointed, shocked, stunned and disillusioned. [...]

5 out of 5 stars Excellent and Majestic!.......2005-12-18

I loved this live CD of Blackmore's Night. It's a great addition to any Blackmore's Night collection. Candice's voice along with Ritchie's wonderful playing blends together to make a haunting and marvolous CD. I recommend it for any devoted Blackmore's Night fan.

5 out of 5 stars Blackmore's Night at their best release.......2002-12-27

The live album captures the spirit of the band at its best: Colourful and vivid. Beautiful orchestrations, great vocals, and amazing atmosphere. The band shines on all tracks but my favorite is the title track played at the two versions. If you must find a fault on this live is that they should be using some 15 horns instead of synths but you cannot have everything in life! I beleive that with this release and Fires At midnight the band is really expanding, writing and playing beautiful music, and (i think that all of us Ritchie fans agree) my favourite guitar player is cleary shining again playing music in a way he only knows instead of repetitions of a great past (for whom the bell tolls?). Do yourself a favor. Go by the album. Ps the greek version of Home Again (i am Greek) has wonderful lyrics and singing but the accent is somewhat greekamerican - anyway we are honoured by such an act of the band!

4 out of 5 stars Solid addition to any GBL collection........2007-07-05

This is probably my third favorite BGL CD, right behind my favorite: This Life, and their newest, Shake Them Ghosts (2nd fav). The production is solid and as always, the songwriting is top notch. The only thing missing is the majority of the new band lineup. If you ever get a chance to see these guys live, do it. The CD's are great, but the energy and passion, as well as obviously the sound, live, are as good as a band gets. Being a musician myself, I've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with these guys a couple times, and you just cannot compare the live sound with the CD. But don't get me wrong, ANY GBL fan should add this to their collection.

5 out of 5 stars Excelent and pure;an album full of great tunes!!.......2001-08-02

This album was that kind of album that makes me fells so better after the first contact.All of the lyrics are modern and with pop-rock influences,and blues tunes in a happy way,that reveals the great capacity of this great productor Jim Gaines to be at the right way, in the company of great musicians.G.B. Leighton and his own style will hit the top of any great particular collection.All of the musics touched the soul,specially something like "Trouble with Sophia" like only few other albums done yet!!Great album,Great revelation!!

5 out of 5 stars G.B. Leighton.......2000-12-21

This is another work of art by G. B. leighton and company. I enjoy everyone of his CD's more and more. Minus seeing him live I recomend owning this or any of his CD's. All music listeners will love the quality of this CD and I would hope pick up at least his live CD to add to their collection. This CD is an A+ in my book.

5 out of 5 stars It's better than just "all good".......2000-09-15

GB Leighton's "It's All Good" is an upbeat, grooving album. Plenty of catchy tunes that you will be singing along with over and over again. A perfect album to ;isten to when you need some cheering up or to listen to when you are in a good mood.

5 out of 5 stars Heart of a Bad Machine.......2000-11-29

After repeated listenings, I cannot find one bad song on this CD! I would have to say this is the boys' best work yet. If you haven't heard Gluecifer, pick up this release for a good, solid introduction. From start to finish, the band smacks you in the head with a rock-hard wallop of pure, driving rawk and roll that seems a queer mix reminiscent of Kiss, the MC5 and true 70s punk rock in every respect. This five man band from Oslo includes lead vocalist Biff Malibu (gotta love that handle!)who always sounds like he's just smoked 5 cartons of Marlboros washed down with the dregs from an Alabama still. This adds a fierceness and grittiness to the songs - unlike in previous releases where his vocals seemed obliterated by over-production. Gluecifer always delivers great backup vocals as well, which lend to the 70s Rock God sound they've managed to perfect. If you don't believe me, check out these songs first: BossHeaded, Go Away Man, Silver Wings, and Gimme Solid Gold. And if you hate pretentious goth types, you'll get a kick out of Lord of the Dusk. Check it out.

3 out of 5 stars Limited Value.......2000-08-11

The first three songs on this CD are great. "Go Away Man" especially, prompted repeated listenings. However, after the first three songs, it loses my interest. This band is great live but uneven on records.

      Album Description

      Dowland's penchant for gloomy subjects was well-known - his most representative piece is the pavane Lachrimae - but this exceptionally rich and varied program also shows him at ease with humor, amorous dalliance, virile and extrovert dance music. This recording features the countertenor Gérard Lesne, who was last heard on Naïve's "O Solitude,"a collection of songs by Purcell.
