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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

A Great Intro to American Classical Music - Almost a Short Course!.......2005-07-12

Many reasonably sophisticated American and European musiclovers still think there are really no American classical music composers of note other than perhaps Gershwin and Copland. It is to the credit of the Naxos label, via their 'American Classics' series, that the lie is put to that notion. Each month there are new issues from Naxos containing music by American composers. And it was a brilliant idea for them to take selections from their dozens of releases of this music to put together this sampler of such music to illustrate a 100+ page essay on the subject by an eminent writer on music, Barrymore Laurence Scherer. The combination of 2 CDs of music tracks, Scherer's essay, a chronological outline, suggestions for further listening, even a map showing where various composers were born helps the 'student' learn much about our nation's musical heritage.

There are selections by twenty-eight composers stretching from the amazing Wagnerian 'Macbeth' Overture by William Henry Fry (1813-1864) to the very recent 'Rapture,' a percussion concerto by Michael Torke (b. 1961). Some selections are complete movements, others are shorter passages from larger works. Included are such gems as the first movement of Arthur Foote's Piano Quartet, the third movement of Henry Hadley's Fourth Symphony, Charles Ives's 'The Unanswered Question,' 'King Cotton' by John Philip Sousa, 'Maple Leaf Rag' by Scott Joplin, a passage (the exciting Spanish Waltz) from Walter Piston's 'The Incredible Flutist,' the finale of Copland's 'Billy the Kid,' the opening of Samuel Barber's luminous 'Knoxville - Summer of 1915,' 'Tonight' from Bernstein's 'West Side Story,' the opening of George Rochberg's masterful Violin Concerto, and John Adams's incredibly popular 'Short Ride in a Fast Machine.' Plus selections by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Edward MacDowell, George Whitefield Chadwick, Amy Beach, Charles Tomlinson Griffes, Charles Wakefield Cadman, George Gershwin, George Antheil, Zez Confrey, William Schuman, John Cage, Gunther Schuller, Alan Hovhaness, Elliott Carter and Philip Glass. The performances are more than acceptable and in some instances ('Knoxville,' Rochberg's Violin Concerto) definitive.

I would heartily recommend this set (especially at its superbudget price) to anyone wanting to know more about the history of American classical music -- Scherer is a master of cogent, clear prose -- and wishing to hear examples of the broad range it has taken over the past couple of centuries. I can easily imagine this set being used in a music appreciation course. And I am sure it will spark interest in the newcomer to this branch of classical music.

Don't really like this single anymore!.......2005-03-14

These days, who have you come across who still like the spice girls!?

Anyways, tracks on this CD are very atrochious, the tracks which I actually used to like, apart from song 4.

The first three tracks are pathetic, the first two not having much difference than an instrumental & orchestral song! Versions of 2 Become 1 are really downhill but I did like these songs. Just check out the Dave Cross Remix for the amazing music!

Three, One Of These Girls, is the worst of the worst. The lyrics make you cry and they are pathetic: One Of these girls is doin' their own thing, one of these girls is just not the same. I prefer Bumper To Bumper but that's pretty rubbish too!

Track four is the look-foward to track. It's a remix of Wannabe by Junior Vasquez. It's a great 5:57 minute remix which will keep you dancing and suprisingly, the song is a one to treasure! It starts off with a thumping beat and will for-definate keep you on your feet!

Bad single, good remix of Wannabe.

One of the best value Spice singles.......2003-12-09

This single is great value for money. You get four all unique tracks for one great price. I got this CD from a used CD store, to help complete my Spice Girls collection.
2 Become 1 is still a epic ballad that needs to be recognised. It is still very beautiful. Emma, Geri, Victoria, Mel B and Mel C all shine on these four tracks. Here is my track rundown

1. 2 Become 1 (Single Version)
A classic Spice Girls song! Their third single and the 1996 Christmas No.1 single, this is a beautiful ballad. This is one of the best Spice ballads to date. Emma sounds fantastic on the bridges and Mel B does a great job on the choruses. Very good. 5/5
2. 2 Become 1 (Orchestral Version)
This version is very cool. I love the orchestral music at the beginning and end. This is the same as the above song, but with orchestral music instead of the normal music. The vocals are the same. Even better then the single version. 5/5
3. One Of These Girls
This song is soooo good! The Spice Girls have brilliant B-sides. You can't not like this song! It is very catchy and upbeat - a refreshing difference from the last two tracks. Each girl gets a chance to sing during the verses and the chorus will get stuck in your head. Brilliant. 5/5
4. Wannabe (Junior Vasquez Remix Edit)
This remix is very, very funky. I don't like remixes usually, but this is seriously cool. It starts off with a thumping beat, with the girls singing 'Ahhh' and 'Wannabe' over and over again, then kicks into the chorus, being sung very fast. You can never get bored of this remix, it keeps you on your feet and dancing, and singing along. The beats are fantastic during this 6 minute track. 5/5

Overall, a good value single with a different version of 2 Become 1, a bonus track and a remix of the girls' debut single. It would have been better though if they'd included the Spanish version of 2 Become 1, which is better then the Orchestral version. But this is still a great single. Long live Girl Power!

My Favorite CD-Single Purchased On Amazon.com!.......2000-02-16

This is a very good CD. Along with an Orchastral version of 2 Become 1 and the original version. This CD-Single also has a really sweet # called One Of These Girls! Its a great song! (Should have been included on the album!) A must have for any Spice Fan!

2 Become 1 is an awesome single, a must buy for any Spice Gi.......2000-02-10

This title is very good for the true Spice fans. It takes one song, gives us a slightly different version, totally cool remix, an awesome b-side and a remix of an old favourite. Since the songs on this title are different it's good just to put on repeat. Spice Girls did a great job with this song, and they will do an even better job on the third album!

This is a great CD!.......2000-01-21

The Single version (track 1) sounds the same as the one on the album SPICE, but with Victoria singing and with different words ("Once again if we endeavor, Love will bring us back together, Take it or Leave it, Take it or Leave it"). I personally like Victoria singing this part more than Geri. The Orchestral Version (Track 2) is the same as the single version but with no drums until the end. This sounds emotional & romantic. One of these Girls (Track 3) is a hip, up-beat, classy, dancy song that is perfect for parties. Every girl has her say in it, and the acapella part ("Pushing in the gloves, keep jumping.....") is my favorite. Wannabe-Vasquez Remix Edit (Track 4) is another great one. This is very Spicy and fast-paced until the end before they say the final "If ya wannabe my lovah!". This is great and is long enough (5:57) for a big thing. ENJOY THIS CD. IT IS A GOOD ONE!

The people who promote Jewel are dumb!.......2005-09-23

I just don't get the lack of promotion for Jewel! 0304 had so much potential but the promoters ignored it in the beginning stages of promoting Stand.

As for the third single 2 Become 1- It's one of the weakest on the album! I don't get why they'd choose it as a single.

SWEET TEMPTATION should have been the third single and they make it out to be a B side which makes no sense. This rocking song could of had an awesome video and been a huge hit. It disappoints me so much when I see an album like 0304 overlooked so much.

Here's to hoping her next album, slated for release early next year, gets the promotion it deserves!

LOVE STAY STILL.......2004-10-08

I don't get who's in charge of the promotion team of ATLANTIC RECORDS, but the surely understimate the power of Jewel's album 0304, that album was crowded with HIT singles, that with the right promotion would have taken off. 2 BECOME 1 is a nice melancolic song, but, shockin enough, I agree it wasn't the best choice as a thrid single, sure it was close to the old sounding Jewel, but if 0304 was praised about something it was Jewel's boldness to don't be affraid and try something new, SWEET TEMPTAION included here was a far better choice as a single, but not the one, I have chose, listen to HAUNTED on 0304, it's really something different, although is Jewel goin' Amos route, but it's deep, dark and strong, a nice tune. Either way the video for 2 become 1 was simple, the song was nice, but close to fall into average Adult top 40 tracks, Jewel had much more to offer from her brilliant 0304 album, sure to be one of my favorite albums of all time. This is what artist are truly made of, confidence, eclectic and evolution, nic egoin' Jewel.

Album Description

This new 72-minute CD features Russian pianist Vassily Primakov performing Chopin's most beloved piano works, including the Fantaisie in F minor, Barcarolle, Scherzo in C-sharp minor, Berceuse, and all four Ballades. Frédéric Chopin's compositions, full of moonbeams and longing, sweeping passion and revolutionary outburst, are among the favorite literature of all pianists today.

Of his four compositions in the fantasy form, the Fantaisie in F minor, Op. 49, is one of his highest achievements, moving from start to finish through a relentless course of drama and dreams. Some have called it his "fifth Ballade" for its musical narrative and melodic flow.

Among Chopin's most imaginative (and popular) works are the beautiful Berceuse, the composer's only lullaby, and the stunning Barcarolle, with its rocking rhythms and hints of the splendors of old Venice. The Barcarolle has also been called the "sixth Ballade" for its rich complexity of musical invention and harmonic development.

Chopin's four ballades are rooted in the musical form of an old story (stanza) and refrain, a "sung narration" that in the case of his particular compositions has given rise to various programmatic tales about each piece.

Chopin's scherzos, also four in all, include the stormy C-sharp minor Scherzo, Op. 39, full of anger, protest and fighting spirit. Composed in 1839 during the composer's miserable stay on the island of Majorca with George Sand, this work is also interlaced with zal, an almost untranslatable Polish word meaning "sorrow," and is also, according to Huneker, a subtle quality that is "ironical, sad, sweet, joyous, morbid, sour, sane and dreamy."

In the final analysis, zal permeated all of Chopin's music, his life as well as his death, after which his heart was removed and buried in Poland, while his precious silver urn of Polish earth was buried with his body in Paris. "Poland, Poland," wrote the French music essayist Georges Jean-Aubry, "how many nights has he held her to his heart."

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful!.......2005-05-07

The pianist is gorgeous, and his art marvelous indeed! The decadent beauty of his art is betrothed to the poetic nobility of Chopin. One would feel high after having listened to this wonderful performance.
