In the wake of the '80s comedy boom that made casual obscenity and bodily functions safe for TV, a listen to these '50s classics from a piano-playing Harvard grad student with a thin singing voice sounds tame if not quaint. Yet Lehrer's first two self-produced albums, among the first generation of comedy LPs, remain beloved gems of musical parody, and noteworthy for their original success in an era when their topics were strictly taboo for broadcast media. He kids cold war paranoia ("We Will All Go Together When We Go"), sends up then-hip folk revivalists with a cheerful murder ballad ("The Irish Ballad"), and gets laughs out of incest ("Oedipus Rex"), drugs ("The Old Dope Peddler"), and racism ("I Wanna Go Back to Dixie"). Closer to Gilbert & Sullivan (whom he in fact raids for one melody) than Def Comedy Jams, Lehrer can still raise a modern frisson when he plays necrophilia as romance ("I hold your hand in mine dear, I press it to my lips/ I take a healthy bite from your dainty fingertips..."). --Sam Sutherland

Wit and Satire - Tom Lehrer has it all.......2007-05-13

A wonderful collection of Tom Lehrer's songs with the kind of humour which will take you back to your college days.

There's hardly anything that puts you in a better mood than listening to Tom Lehrer!.......2007-05-13

I bought this disc to send to my partner as a surprise blast from the past to cheer him up. It contains all my particular favorites, so I considered it a great introduction to Tom Lehrer's songs for someone who somehow missed the great man back in the day. I hadn't actually listened to these for quite a long time, and was interested and delighted to see that they mostly stand the test of time, and then some. Even National Brotherhood Week is as apt and hilarious now as when it was written - maybe we need to revive this commemorative week?

Songs and More Songs absolutely did the job for my partner, and we amuse ourselves now all the time by singing the songs together! Great, great recording!

Should have bought this earlier.......2006-02-25

I had some old tapes of Tom Lehrer, which got lost or damaged, and were replaced by this one CD. I wish I'd bought it earlier. Of course the sad thing is to hear what he sings about and remember the times, and realize he stopped writing songs and performing in part because the world was getting just a little too scary even for him, and really difficult to make fun of.

Tom Lehrer, satirist........2005-10-14

I have been listening to Tom Leher for years, on LP records and, twice, in person. He is the most talented satirist going, since Gilbert and Sullivan. This CD is a gem.

If I could give it ten stars, I would........2005-10-13

This is quite possibly the best music written, along with Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd. The songs are not out dated at all, as one actually could wish in some cases. The world is still the hysterical place Tom Lehrer described.

On this album Tom Lehrer flawlessly demonstrates how really good music depends on text and melody, and text and melody alone. I can't really understand how people have dared writing music since this was first published as everything else pales in comparishion.

They Might Be Cover Songs.......2006-07-14

TMBG rocks and so does this tribute album. Best of the best is Frank Black, Long Winters, Charles Douglas, & The Wrens. Good is Self, David Miller & Hotel Lights. Decent is Steve Burns, Ok Go, Brett Kull & Fluid Ounces. Bad is Recepter, This Radiant Boy, & Jason Trachtenburg and the fact that Reel Big Fish are MIA. If you get this you will like it, though as many of the covers top the TMBG originals.

worth it.......2006-07-13

I've been waiting for this collection to be released for a while now. The easiest way to review it is just to do a track by track breakdown of the good songs. I'll pass on the ones I didn't like and let someone else savage them!

1. "Ana Ng" by Self. On first listen this sounded somewhat close to the original, mainly because of the vocals. HOWEVER, this is now my favorite track and is far better than the original. It's done with tons of guitars and layering, and sounds like Self (duh) and a little like some of Brendan Benson's more rockin' stuff. Grade: A+

2. "Pet Name" by The Long Winters. I love the Long Winters, but this track is not as good or polished as their albums/eps. The vocals sound kinda sloppy and off. But it's also much better than the original TMBG track, which I always found annoying. This sounds like some drunken garage-rock REM or Replacements b-side (in a good way). Grade: B

3. "Narrow Your Eyes" by David Miller. Very cool 60's sound on this one--made me think of classic power pop stuff (Who, Raspbberries, mid-Kinks). I've never even heard the original but this is neat, thanks to great guitars and handclappy choruses. Grade: A

4. "She's An Angel" by Charles Douglas. This one's also a really great track that I like more than the original one. Sounds like the Pixies or Lou Reed, and has Pavement-y guitars galore. Nice strange keyboards at the end too. Fantastic, weird stuff that transforms the original catchy oddity into a great spiky rock song. Grade: A

5. "Road Movie to Berlin" by Frank Black. Strange to think the previous Charles Douglas track sounds more like the Pixies than this does, but there it is. Another strong cover that reinvents the original as a country-rock stroll. Not perfect, but I love Frank Black, so this gets Grade: A-

6. "They'll Need a Crane" by The Wrens. My second personal favorite track on here. A complete deconstruction of the song. It becomes an agonizing, bizarre lament that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stick up. The Wrens are such an incredible band. This, like most of their music, gets a Grade A+

7. "Dead" by Steve Burns. The guy from Blues Clues! This one doesn't blow me away, but it's nice enough. Sticks close to the original but with a little bit of a psychedelic/laptop element, if that makes any sense. Pleasant but not essential. Grade: B-

Pass on tracks 8,9,10--none of them hooked me.

11. "Dr. Worm" by Jason Trachtenburg. This is a love-it-or-hate-it song to begin with. I personally find this version endearing and fun to listen to. It sounds folky and playful. Yet obviously some people are going to hate its silly quality... Grade: B

tracks 12 & 13 are okay, but not great.

14. "End of the Tour" by Hotel Lights. This blows the original right out of the water--completely perfect in every way. Hotel Lights have taken a great song and made it completely their own. Sounds mellow, emotional, reminds me of Hotel Lights other stuff, also Kingsbury Manx, and 70's singer-songwriter stuff. Grade: A

Thus concludes my overview of this album--hope it's useful to some of y'all.

Full of suprises, both good and bad.......2006-07-13

No matter the what band you base them on, tribute albums always have the inherent quality of being both great albums and total letdowns. However, in an offhanded sort of way, that is the point of a tribute album: to show how different classic songs can be interpreted by different groups of people. With that being said, "Hello Radio: The Songs of They Might Be Giants" does exactly that. And while some of the covers do tend to fall flat, the number of good (and great) completely outweighs the bad.

While some of the more faithful covers (see: "It's Not My Birthday" and "Another First Kiss") tend to be strictly "just fine," a few of the more deviant covers are the ones that stand out the most. The Long Winters' more upbeat, somewhat racous version of "Pet Name" is terribly fun to sing along, as is David Miller's "Narrow Your Eyes" (listen for the great The Who inspired guitar solo in place of Linnell's accordion solo), and Receptor's "Boat of Car" is suprisingly well done, making the song sound much more interesting, as well as more grimm at times.
As far as the less-than-favorable tracks, This Radiant Boy's obligatory punk cover of "Don't Let's Start" is so lazily performed that it almost sounds more like a parody than a tribute (at least there's already a great cover of "Don't Let's Start" by Common Rotation on their "The Big Fear" album to make up for it). OK Go doesn't do much better either with their cover of "Letterbox." While I commend them for experimenting outside of their usual upbeat sound(the song has a very glitchy and fuzzed out distortion feeling to it, almost reminiscant to Trent Reznor's work), it fails completely engage the listener.

Overall, "Hello Radio..." does exactly what a tribute album should do, and nothing less. Still, I completely recommend that any fan of They Might Be Giants should buy it to at least view (and possibly rediscover) some of their favorite songs from a different perpective.

Not worthy.......2006-07-13

I have been a big TMBG fan since... forever. I preorded this disc a while ago, and it showed up an hour ago. My initial analysis of this is that it should be in the collection of a die-hard TMBG fan, but it is not great. A lot of tribute albums are more enjoyable to listen to than the originals straight through. However, this is not the case for this one. Get this if you have an Amazon Gift Certificate to spend, but don't spend your hard earned cash on it.

awesome tribute to a great band.......2006-07-13

They Might Be Giants is one of my favorite bands. However, you don't need to be a fan to enjoy most of the stuff on here. Most of the songs on this album basically take a guitar based indie rock approach to TMBG's catalog. Some of the cover versions are better than the originals, especially Self doing "Ana Ng," but also the tracks by Frank Black, The Wrens, and Hotel Lights. I would definitely recommend picking this up if you're into TMBG or some of the bands on here.

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf was one of those singers whom one either loves or hates. She was a "stylist," who inflected every phrase, every note in her urge to communicate what she considered to be the meaning of the text. Others feel that the only thing she communicated was her own need to impress people with her ability to communicate, and I believe she often forgot the difference between art and artfulness. Be that as it may, she was an outstanding Strauss singer, and her performance of the Four Last Songs, in particular, is legendary. Of course, having George Szell on the podium doesn't hurt either. He insures that the music shows the singer in the best possible light. --David Hurwitz

Customer Reviews:

This is just a review of the transfer and booklet.......2007-03-30

I have little to add to the excellent reviews here--I owned a previous transfer, and it was worth it to me to buy another, given its low cost at Amazon.

I think the transfer is excellent, removing a surprising amount of murk from a 1991 version (I think). In fact, I'm wondering if some distortion hasn't been removed as well, at least in the voice. As for Szell & his orchestras, their playing sounds fresher and lovelier than ever. Instrumental placement in the sound image seems more firm, and details are more clear.

As for the booklet, well, EMI is not one for documentation, and it should be ashamed of itself for wasting our time in the middle of the song texts with ads for their other recordings. However, yes, the texts for these songs are all there, and that is a minor miracle.

So yes, this is a no-brainer purchase. In my view, the improved sound quality does merit purchasing it if one's transfer is prior to 1997.

A wiser Schwarzkopf in one of her best latter recordings.......2006-11-04

One of the landmark opera albums of the 1960s', Elisabeth Schwarzkopf's recording of Strauss' "Four Last Songs"; and the twelve Lieder songs of Burger, Dehmel, Bierbaum and others, is beautifully-remastered here for compact disc.

Schwarzkopf was in her fifties when she recorded these works, and there is a lot to be said for the mature, knowing performance from a soprano voice of that age. It speaks of life's joys and heartaches, and a heart still longing for youthful romance. I seriously doubt that anyone will ever fully eclipse Elisabeth's sheer dramatic intensity in this recording. She transforms herself back into a young girl, yet still retains the dramatic use of her maturity.

This recording has been remastered using Abbey Road's Prism SNS system, which gives the recording a natural soundscape, free of annoying echo or reverb, allowing Schwarzkopf's voice to come forth with astonishing clarity. Simply, it's the best this recording has ever sounded. A bargain price too.

HEAVENLY.......2006-09-14

The "Gramophone" magazine reviewer couldn't have put it better:- "a heavenly record, so beautiful that I find it goes against the grain to attempt to analyse it". A must-have for any self-respecting classical record collection.

Schwarzkopf and Szell Team Up For An Incandescent Strauss Record.......2006-09-09

Four decades later this remains one of the greatest recordings of this final, transcendent Richard Strauss masterpiece. Some have shown preference for the earlier Schwarzkopf sung, Otto Ackermann conducted EMI record. I can't imagine why someone would want that mono recording over this gorgeous stereo version. Schwarzkopf here is just as radiant if not more so, the speeds are perfectly judged by Szell and everything has an luminous glow about it. The fact that 12 extra Strauss songs are here too puts this CD over the top, a must buy.

There have been plenty of great versions of the Four Last Songs since Schwarzkopf, the likes of Gundula Janowitz with Herbert Von Karajan and especially the spectacular Jessye Norman with Kurt Masur, yet the Schwarzkopf account can still match any other version in the catalogue for sheer beauty, the tender articulation of words and deep understanding of the music. Jessye Norman surpasses Elizabeth Schwarzkopf for operatic splendour and voluptousness of sound so you definitely need to get that version too. Having several performances of this immortal masterwork is a must!

A thing of beauty ..........2006-02-06

... is a joy forever, John Keats wrote, referring to the unending beauty of the things in Nature. The same can be said for the music making as captured for eternity on this recording, which seems to have been touched by a muse of fire, making it truly ascend the highest heaven of invention ... and art. The interpretations of all of these songs by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is ever intelligent and astute, but always deeply human. Her singing is finely intimate, I believe, revealing her unrivaled mastery of invoking every single syllable with deepest possible meaning. The same can be said for the orchestral playing, so very intelligent, utterly complementing Elisabeth Schwarzkopf's gorgeous, deeply human, deeply moving singing. A marvel!

The current Schwann catalog lists nine versions of Górecki's phenomenally popular Symphony 3 (Sorrowful Songs) composed in 1976. During his early career, Górecki embraced serialism and concentrated on instrumental sonorities in the vein of Messiaen. But in Symphony 3, his atonality disappears into a strategy of gently mounting thematic pitches, taking the strings through all possible registers. All three movements are marked lento, rare for any symphony. The Elektra Nonesuch recording has tended to be the bestseller, but give this Naxos release a try--it's just as good. The sound is excellent and the performances are above reproach. --Paul Cook

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful music!.......2007-05-19

"Symphony of Sorrowful Songs" is one of the most beautiful music pieces ever composed! If you can listen carefully, and let yourself be swept up by the piece, you will be very effected! While listening to the music, my heart started racing at one point, and I felt flushed from the reaction to the music! Beautiful!

Among the greatest Classical compositions.......2006-12-07

It is rare when a composition has consistent appeal from beginning to end and one with such quality makes Gorecki's Symphony #3 a very rare find.
The beginning is unusually understated. For those with home theaters or a bass speaker, it will heighten the beauty of the string instruments. At a moderate volume, the introduction can vibrate the house. The first movement has a slow crescendo that cumulates to a very profound point. The second and third movements have such emotional beauty that I can justifiably claim that the vocal soloist is seraphic and sublime and it is as close to angelic singing that mortals can achieve. As one who does not care for opera, I want to stress that this music is not like opera in any way . For those who enjoy Beethoven's 9th, Ode to Joy, or In Trutina from Carmina Burana, this symphony can't disappoint.

Dark poetry; tragic exuberance!.......2005-12-20

Poland has been always a land of courageous and untamed spirit; stubborn to any single bit of domination. This territory has given sublime artists. Gorecki is one of the last exponents; even he was born just in the final of the WW2.

His famous Third Symphony is widely known all around the world and constituted definitively a mass phenomena, its consecration and full acceptation. Gorecki employed an admirable sense of the musical texture inviting us to imagine an enormous birch's forest with astonishing austerity of means economy in what orchestration concerns. This music suggests me the kaleidoscopic awakening of slept centuries under the history 's carpet. Ancestral sorrows, delirious visions with that contemplative gaze in the mirror 's memory. In this Christmas, it is a magnificent chance to listen it once more.

This is possibly the most idiomatic version recorded until this date. Wit made no concessions of any kind. The reading is marvelous and heartfelt; emotion and epic have been magnificently blended and besides, supported by an inspired ensemble. Zofia Kilanowicz is simply bewitching as Soprano. The Second Movement is perfect.

Go for this spelling recording.

Sorrow wrapped in radiance.......2005-11-26

I can't waste time comparing versions, as I have only heard the other bargain version with the same soprano, which lacks the lusciousness of this CD in my humble opinion. I see no reason to look beyond this version anyway, which is a sublime offering from artists clearly steeped in the emotional heartland it surveys.

Others have said it all, this is music (and indeed a performance) that elicits tears on almost every listen. To a Buddhist as myself, who can see unresolved suffering and sorrow even on the faces of those encountering temporal happiness, this music is a vivid portrayal through sound of our human birthright of disquiet and dissatisfaction, which can be transformed only through connection with our divine nature. Compassion, which can only be generated through our encounters with suffering - how can we hope to wish others to be free of it if we have never met it face-to-face? - radiates from this CD from opening note to close.

The review below that gave this album 5 stars, but only because of the performance, rather than the music itself, is one of the most pathetic offerings I have seen among Amazon reviews. How can any performance be divorced from the piece itself? To compare this glorious piece of music with a relaxation tape merely highlights the ignorance of the reviewer. Did you actually LISTEN to this album? I doubt it!

THERE ARE FEW 'CLASSICAL' OFFERINGS THAT OFFER THE EMOTIONAL RANGE OF THIS CD. IT STANDS AS A LANDMARK OF BOTH 20TH CENTURY COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE - A MUST BUY!

When sorrow becomes exquisite beauty..........2005-11-18

I own several other recordings of the haunting "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs", a masterpiece which doesn't need the explanatory "modern" in front of it. Górecki's works have aroused intense criticism from some music critics who feel that modern music must eschew lyricism, cease to be enslaved to the major/minor tonality of the "past", and tread bravely into the waters of atonality, arhythmicality, and a-beauty.

But music is primarily audio rather than intellectual. It is there to be listened to, which means that AT LEAST one of the criteria for music ought to be how it sounds. It's all very well creating an incredibly clever tone row and patting oneself on the back for writing a concerto for a gravedigger's spade, an electric blender and a toilet being flushed, but who is going to listen to such a work, over and over? A hundred years from now, it will probably be rightly regarded as a curiosity rather than anything else.

Górecki has composed some works which are so extraordinary that the listener is spellbound, mesmerised by the almost elegaic quality of it. Is it non-intellectual? By no means! It is a strange point of view which considers intellectual quality to be discerned only as the inverse of listenability.

There are, of course, several recordings of this remarkable work currently available. All of them are good. But this one... well, it's beyond good, because the singer, soprano Zofia Kilanowicz, is so immersed in the words, and immerses the listener so completely into the words, that the heartbreak becomes our own. We feel as never before the terrible pity of it - Mary in front of the cross; the words of the young girl written on the wall; the woman looking for the body of her son fallen in battle. It is no shame to weep in listening to this recording, because the sorrow transcends the personal, although it never becomes LESS than personal. But it reaches out to touch the core of human understanding. This is a lament for all loss, all death, all grief, all injustice. It is simply... heartbreaking... and very, very beautiful.

That a listener is able to come away with a sense of hope as well as intense grief is due to the music, which shimmers and shines in the dark places of the heart.

Other versions of this work, while lovely, do not have the same plangent quality as this. I was surprised that I did not feel more intensely when listening to the Susan Gritton recording of this, as I consider her a superb singer with a wonderfully expressive quality, but strangely she did not quite achieve the colour of tears that the work requires. The Yvonne Kenny recording is lovely, but it's more about sound than meaning. I can feel Yvonne Kenny being careful about making the right sounds - I DON'T feel her twisting my heart with the meaning. The Dawn Upshaw recording is lovely but bland in comparison, as well.

In every respect - the incredibly cheap price, the exquisite orchestral playing, the wonderful singing - this is the version to have.

Here's a delightful coupling: Mahler's First Symphony and the song cycle that donated many of its themes to the larger work. Best of all, both performances are superb. Rafael Kubelik is the dark horse among Mahler conductors. His interpretations are always fresh, unforced, and seemingly without exaggeration. However, he knows how to build a climax, and his generally swift tempos never permit a minute's boredom. There are many moments to cherish in his performance of the symphony, not least the delicious woodwind playing and the tangy trumpets in the third movement's Fiddler on the Roof music. Reissued at midprice in excellently remastered sound--better than most new digitals in many respects--this is a performance that remains one of the best, and as a coupling it's unbeatable. --David Hurwitz

Dieskau Does Mahler.......2007-07-23

Combine Dieskau with Kubelik and you have a winning proposition! With the clarity and depth of emotion necessary for the music of Mahler, Dieskau brings the texts to life like no one else. The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra responds precisely to Kubelik's baton, giving a stirring performance of the Mahler 1st and of the Songs of a Wayfarer. For all Mahler fans, this is a must!

Mahler Universal.......2007-01-04

I recently listened to officials of Israel's principal symphony orchestra being interviewed regarding the Venezuelan prodigy who was conducting the ring of Mahler symphonies in Tel Aviv. Not once was the issue of Mahler-in-Israel mentioned. Clearly, the conductor's reputation has been rehabilitated from its unfortunate association with the Führer and the musical predilections of his comrades-in-murder.

How fortunate, then, that one can celebrate this Deutsche Grammophon re-release of none other than Rafael Kubelik and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra making their briskly paced way through Mahler's First and then the Lieder without having to say more than a passing word about the constellation of musicians and composer. The performances were recorded in 1968 and 1970, respectively.

The BRSO sounds agile, almost petite, under Kubelik's baton. Those accustomed to linking Mahler to bombast may find themselves pleasantly surprised. The flute in the first movement lingers, but almost nobody else does.

Very fine Mahler, carried off with homeland panache.

Fantastic Performance, Recording Lacks Bass.......2006-09-01

Even with the DG "Original Image Bit-Processing", this famous account of Mahler's 1st symphony sounds a bit wiry and thin in the big climaxes, negating some of the grandeur in the work.

Nonetheless this is one of the best performances this symphony has ever received. It's fresh, it's fast and full of life, something that many other slower interpretations tend to forget. I'm positive that Mahler himself would conduct the music in this more upbeat, driving fashion than the more plodding shenanigans of Bernstein or Solti, fine as they may be on their own merits.

If you want to hear a great but little known account of this symphony in wide ranging, high impact digital sound, seek out Andrew Litton's recording on Virgin Classics coupled together with a great performance of Mahler's 9th symphony by Libor Pesek. Other alternatives are of course, Bernstein, Solti, Abbado and the usual suspects. Still for me, this Mahler 1st by Kubelik will never go out of style.

An amazing performance that plainly justifies its cult status!.......2006-07-07

About Mahler' s birthday's one hundred forty sixth, it particularly results interesting to underline this version is without hesitation, one of the most prodigious performances ever recorded before or even later, until this date. It would be risky to consider Rafael Kubelik as a Mahler' s specialist conductor, but he certainly was gifted of a clinical eye and the necessary wisdom to understand the universe of this kaleidoscopic musician who typifies as any other composer, the stressing and anguished world of the contemporary man, without emotional, affective center, profoundly desperate, immersed in a real existential whirlwind, without hindrances, imaginary futures, hopes and illusions.

This first symphony's performance is flamboyant, that reflects with lavish idiomatic spirit, the fears, but besides the hopeful and triumphal final climax in the last movement, that finds to Kubelik in the peak of his conductor powers, totally immersed in the core of the work.

A must-buy due, it's a collector item, deeply venerated and famously phrased by several generations of listeners and dilettantes.

A Poignant Rendition by a Musical Painter.......2006-06-12

I love it when a musician will go out of their way and sacrifice everything to sculpt a piece of art for us. If they are fearless, they will obtain it all: Technical and Musical. And there are only a few successful examples of this. Kubelik's 'Titan' Symphony happens to be my favorite.

The playing is just beautiful. Flourishing, natural lines, and deliciously sonorous tone: its remarkable. Kubelik allows the players to make the most of everything without being too indulgent. The Brass section is especially exciting! The Finale, (Which is one of my dearest) is an historical moment. The communication between the conductor and his orchestra is precise, exact, and astonishing.

Upon first listening, the interpretation will sound very different- I guarantee that. but youll come to love it. Every bit of this recording is very personal and with Mahler, i believe that's important. Kubelik's touches are just right for that perfect character of music.

Underrated, Unrestricted, Unadultered Music-Making. Something that is sadly a rarity in the music world.

Composer, premiere player, soloist - Yin Cheng-zong's authentic Yellow River Concerto.......2007-07-03

I owned this disc for more than 12 years already. The CD cover was already the third one.
Lang Lang recently made a new recording of this piece with DG.
I heard master Yin play this piece (in Lang Lang's stead) last evening in Hong Kong Cultural Centre, and he moved me to tears.
Yin Cheng-zong is over 60 years old now. He lived through the various turmoils of China. It requires life experience and patriotism to interpret this piece, so very sorry, I haven't heard any foreign pianist playing this piece yet, let alone on record.
HOWEVER, Yin Cheng-zong did made a recording of this piece with Claudio Abbado, but the recording has never been released by the PRC official broadcasting agency. Yin himself claims that this was one of the most memorable performances he had of this piece - Abbado understands the piece so well that Yin was highly amazed!
The foremost player and interpretor of this piece remains Yin Cheng-zong, but I must say that ALSO hearing Lang Lang playing this piece a couple of days ago (also in Hong Kong), Lang's playing of this piece is vastly improving.

something missing and deadly wrong here.......2006-11-07

when i listened to this concerto, the first impression was something deadly wrong. if you want to portray and describe a river, the best way is to start from its origin, it might be just a trickle of dripping water and a small stream at first, then when going down, meet and entwine with other small streams, it gradually evolving into a great river all way down to the ocean. that's the way how you use the music to portray a river.
but the composer of this 'yellow river' was educated in the chinese communist system, his composition was still dominated subjectively by the blind chinese revolutionary passion, the concerto from the very beginning sounds like listening to a cultural revolution marching song, banging and pounding so headstrong against almost all the foreign elements, condemning so viciously and so mercilessly with hatred, like revolutionary army at wars, like those stupid formula musicals, songs and plays created in the cultural revolution era to please the butcher chairman mao. there's almost no big difference here. when you listen to this concerto, only a small part and portion make you feel like something good and wonderful offered by the river, most part of it sounds too clueless military.
we all knew that the chinese civilization and it's culture was originated from the yellow river, it's like a mother of china. yes, yellow river is always unpreditable and changing, its inevitable floodings in the history caused a lot of deaths and tragedies, but a river could never be always so merciless and vicious. this concerto and this music is not an appropriate interpretation of the yellow river but a chinese communist revolutionary marching song by a die hard communist composer. it's a very bad concerto actually.

Contains many piano solo treasures.......2006-03-26

The most important thing about this CD is its beautiful solo piano music from classical Chinese literature. You'll be amazed and delighted.

Trust me~ You will never get tired of it........2004-08-07

This is an excellent album that worth adding to your collection. Moreover, such great music for such low price, there is no reason you shouldn't buy it.

Very nice Music.......2003-01-15

I've heard The Yellow River Cantata for long time before I got this CD, this CD would be a very nice CD on your collection. And when I came to Yellow River (Hoang He) in the summer and spring, I knew this concerto said the trust: The river is always changing, savage and quiet. There is enough Asian spirit on this CD. As you know, every old chinese word and song are based on a story (called Gu dian, means classical) and if you know much about chinese stories you will feel completly this CD. One of famous Gu Dian is the fighting of Chinese people against the flood every year at the river's banks, for thousand years. You can find more information and "Gu dian" about this river in Chinese histories or stories.

Don't expect the original!! .......2006-12-07

I was so looking forward to this CD as it has all the old hits and bands of my era. I was sorely disappointed when I discovered that not only were they not original cuts but I don't think they are even the same bands. Often times very poor imitations. If you're looking for the real thing - stay away from this one. Having the original band associated with the title of their hit is very misleading and nowhere does it state not by original artists. Is this what "IMPORT" means?

Mild ripoff.......2006-01-16

This is a very short CD -- obviously recorded at a club. The audio quality is not very good. That could be forgiven if the CD were packed with several live shows. Excerpts from two shows is not enough.

Additionally there is NO information booklet so I have no idea where and when these sets were recorded.

Look for a better collection of Rusty's remarkable performances.

Wish there was more.......2004-03-01

I was given six of her LP's and wish they were available on CD.
Her humour is timeless and such Great fun.
Hope you can get her other LP's on CD It's what comedy SHOULD be. Funny not Foul mouthed.

A Little Female Trouble!.......2003-07-27

Rusty Warren is the comic whose albums your parents hid in the closet and forbade you to touch--and you obeyed, unless like me you merely waited until they left the house and then dropped them on the stereo. I laughed until I cried, and receiving this CD was very much like meeting a very dear friend you haven't seen in much too long a time.

By modern standards, Warren's act is fairly mild--but in the 1950s and 1960s it was more than enough to blow the doors off the nightclub scene and get her banned from conservative communities, not to mention radio and television. And like the legendary Sophie Tucker and Mae West, Warren relies more on the lost art of sexual innuendo than on open expletive. She also has tremendous charisma, and in these two recordings you can feel the power of her spell.

Both offerings on this CD are from among her earlier recordings. The sound quality of KNOCKERS UP is a bit rough, and the tempo of Warren's performance on SONGS FOR SINNERS is perhaps a shade, er, laid back--but no matter how you look at it, this is still the Queen of Classic Blue Comedy working near the top of her, er, form. Are you ready for the ballad of Red River Sally? How about a rousing rendition of Roll Me Over, Lay Me Down, Do It Again ("now all the virgins sing the chorus!")? Or one of the naughtiest versions of Frankie and Johnny you've ever heard?

Yes, it's a trip down memory lane to a simpler time. But it's a good trip, and if you enjoy this brand of 1950s comedy you won't regret the time or money spent. "Just a little female trouble, dear"--from one of comedy's great but now sadly neglected treasures. Open up the bar, invite a few friends in, and put Rusty on the stereo. You won't regret it.

--GFT (Amazon.com Reviewer)--

Another "one of a kind" which we love to hear.......2001-09-10

Rusty, you wanted to do your act on TV. We are ready for you. At the time you did your album, we listened to it on the fronts in Vietnam, at home, and away from home. We laughed at ourselves as well as your great presentations of comic and song which in those days were almost strictly taboo. 30 years later, I am buying the album. You have stayed in our hearts and lives for that long with only nice things to say about you.

Grab your sesame seeds!!!.......1999-05-15

Rusty is the funniest dame around!!! We listen to her on at least a weekly basis & she just keeps getting funnier!!! Rusty is so bawdy she will brings tears to your eyes & a massive pain to your side! (This coming from a couple of young hotrod/monster loving/surf & rockabilly - type tattoo weirdos should tell you that the generation gap thing doesn't apply here... she is just the funniest)!!! Do yourself a favor & pick up anything that you find on her... and remember ladies, keep your knockers up!!!

These Guys Should Be Superstars.......2006-02-22

I have now purchased all of their albums, and I can't pick a favorite - each is excellent: thoughtful lyrics and wonderful harmonies. Dan Navarro's voice is so smoothe and Eric Lowen's high harmonies just fit perfectly. I've been lucky to see them in small venues three times in the last six months - and can not believe they don't command more of a following. They joke about being a non-profit organization (not by design). If you have a chance to see them live - don't miss it: the music is wonderful, they are both witty and intelligent and they have a real connection to the audience. If you can't make their show, this disc is the next best thing. Next, you will want to buy "All the Time In the World" and then "Walking On a Wire." Then, you will be like me, saying "Why the hell aren't these guys SUPERSTARS!!!"

Lowen and Navarro at their best.......2003-11-19

L&N combine terrific harmonies with an accoustical backdrop. The quality of the album demonstrates their strength as musicians and singers, capture the qualities of a live show with nearly the production values of a studio recording. Their music touches the heart and appeals to people young and old.

Fantastic.......2002-09-30

I feel like I've been missing something for many years. Heard L&N on NPR this past summer and then ordered Live Radio on line. I can't get enough of this CD. Usually after a while the newness fades but with this gem there is something different to hear all the time. Their songwriting is superb, the playing totally clean, the harmonies powerful, and the production on this CD perhaps the best I've ever heard. Hard to imagine it wasn't done in a studio with numerous takes. These guys must be fabulous live and I'm looking for them to come anywhere near here. Can't recommend this CD enough. It's 6+ stars.

Wow!.......2002-08-30

I first heard about these two very talented songwriters/singers during an interview on NPR's Morning Edition. I thought I'd buy the CD after they played two of the tracks from it. I haven't been disappointed. In fact, I listen to it every day at work and plan to purchase the rest of their CD's. They are so good that it is hard to believe that these recordings are live performances. Great lyrics, amazing harmony, solid tunes.
