Product Description
A new one-act musical featuring the award winning performance of Shonn Wiley, David Epstein and Tim Byrnes. A nameless novelist arrives in New York intent on getting his first book published. As he recounts his daily misadventures in a series of letters to his girl back home, we see through his eyes the colorful eccentric, vibrant and wildly bizarre characters that make up his new life, and the tragic events that make up his old one. With music and lyrics by Timothy Huang, The View From Here "...plays like a fresh variation on 'Wonderful Town' propelled by stunning music and a tremendously appealing solo performance by Shonn Wiley. Timothy Huang's score boasts masterful plot- and character-driven songs and comedic set pieces... Some have a contemporary throb, but others have a haunting melodic quality that seems torn from the annals of the Great American Songbook, populated by such folks as George Gershwin and Harold Arlen..." - Ron Cohen, BackstageCustomer Reviews:

Customer Reviews:
It's wonderful to have Bernstein back, but the performances fall short.......2006-11-26
For me, the performances themselves fall short. They were often recorded in a rush, sometimes late at night after a summer concert. I know that the Stadium Sym. is actually the NY Phil., but they don't sound particularly fine, and Bernstein's interpreatations, though vigorous, often border on the slapdash. Plowing through Beethoven's 3rd, Dvorak's 9th, Schumann's 2nd, Brahms' 4th and Tchaikovsky's 6th, I found few sparks of originaity, much less genius. This is a tough admission from one of LB's geat admirers, but there you are. The original recorded sound is also a bit thin and harsh.
Come back Lennie, we need you.......2006-02-22
Then there are the performances. I'm not the biggest fan of mono symphonic recordings, but these positively leap down your ears, unmannered, committed and electric. It's hard to believe what was achieved under the hasty recording conditions described in the booklet. The sound is a little fierce, but good enough to make this set a wonderful gift for any open-minded but symphonically ignorant acquaintance. I can easily imagine it turning someone on to classical music.
For Bernstein enthusiasts, it's like owning a gold mine.......2005-06-19
The performances are a revelation, because they demonstrate conclusively that Bernstein did not always "exaggerate" or "overinterpret" great music, as critics frequently claim. His performances here are very, very direct and straightforward, more like Fritz Reiner or Toscanini than like Bernstein.
If this album contained only Bernstein's early performances of these symphonies, it would be interesting, but it might not really attract that much attention, since he re-recorded all of these pieces in stereo in later years, and with the same orchestra.
What makes this set so valuable is that it contains his long out-of-print lectures on these symphonies, and far from what the previous reviewer claims, they never become boring and monotonous. No musician in our time, or maybe even in the history of music, was a better or more articulate and sensitive lecturer on music than Leonard Bernstein. His legendary appearances on the "Young People's Concerts" did more for the appreciation of classical music than all the "Beethoven's Wig" albums combined. (If you don't know what "Beethoven's Wig" is, check it out and shudder at how far music appreciation has fallen since Bernstein's death.)
Bernstein had a unique ability to make classical music accessible to everybody, without ever condescending to the listener or cheapening the music. His lectures on this album, previously only available to 1950's Book of the Month Subscribers (except for part of the Beethoven lecture, which is the only one that Bernstein did re-record in stereo), are invaluable both to music students and to those who are willing to listen. All of the lectures included cover all four movements of the symphonies discussed, except for the Brahms; that one is just as extensive as the others, but it covers only the first movement of the symphony.
However--be warned, the lectures do have a flaw that the symphonies themselves do not, and that is why I have subtracted one star.
The symphony recordings are obviously remastered from magnetic tape, but the lectures have been transferred from LP's. Thus, you will be able to hear an occasional click or pop from time to time, and there is a clearly audible "skip" on the Brahms lecture. It is NOT the CD being defective, or the laser beam on your player skipping; it is clearly the lecture recordings themselves. Deutsche Grammophon, which released this CD set, is very honest about the source of the transfers to compact disc, and is to be commended for this. (They mention it in the last page of the accompanying booklet.) But this shouldn't deter anybody from buying this enormously important Bernstein set.

Cold Quarters to fire up your spirit.......2002-10-31
More than anything else, this cd makes the new Phillips, Grier & Flinner album (Looking Back) even more disappointing. I will never understand why a group with 2 composers on the level of Matt Flinner and David Grier decided to waste an album on lackluster Beatles, Hendrix, etc.. covers. There are a couple noteworthy tracks on that album, but it pales in comparison to their greats.... The View From Here, Latitude, and the original PG&F album.
Matt Flinner's biggest gift, to my ears, is his ability to write such memorable, sometimes haunting melodies. His tunes aren't derivative, yet sometimes they feel like they could be 150 years old. On this cd, the tune Cold Quarters puts visions of the Civil War into my head every time I hear it. Red Shift is just a flat-out masterpiece. One of my favorite tunes in the entire spacegrass, newgrass, jazzgrass (whatever you want to call it) world. This songs just never gets old. Another Valley could be a lost tune from the brilliant Tony Rice Unit album, Backwaters.
The core band here is Matt Flinner (mandolin), David Grier (guitar), and Todd Phillips (bass), plus we get some fantastic guest appearances by Stuart Duncan, Darol Anger, Tim O'Brien, Jerry Douglas, and Mike Marshall. Darol still has some of the best fiddle tone in history, and I swear Stuart makes his fiddle cry in a couple spots on this cd. The way Todd and Jerry lead into Jerry's Red Shift solo will certainly grab your ears and soul.
Simply put, at their best, I love this band. Matt's mandolin style is wonderful, David is THE acoustic guitarist right now, and Todd is as strong as ever.
I won't say that this cd is great from start to finish, there are a couple tunes I usually skip over, but the majority of this cd places it (and Matt) at the forefront of acoustic American string music.

Not Random At All!.......2005-05-06
In addition to playing with Peter Gabriel for the past 25 years, David Rhodes has done a great deal. [...].
I'll add my 2 cents........2005-03-04
Gabriel couldn't have done this group justice. Hammill really put together a sawtooth-waved, menacing, formalist masterpiece in Avalanche (which this album is, with live stuff of uneven merit tacked onto the unused part of Disk 2).
If you can find Avalanche on vinyl, so much the better.
If you like songs like P. Gabriel's "Not One of Us," I believe you'll like this CD.
An excellent overall compilation.......2004-08-28
I've been waiting for this.......2004-02-29
The music is a mix of new wave and progressive with the opening tracks being amazingly proggy sounding (almost King Crimson-like in their rhythms and harmonic structure). The more New Wave-ish stuff sounds an awful lot like Kid Creole to my ears.
If you're wondering if it's worth the money, I would say sure. You get well over two hours of music between the two discs.

Album Description
Through the craggy mountains of sound that North Carolina metal acts have pushed up through the years lies the lulls and valleys populated by pop bands that once dominated the local music scenes, and their younger brethren eager to return to the melodies that first put the state on the map. Climbing down from the monoliths towering above to forge something new and unique is Yearling, featuring Sid Menon, bassist for the uncompromisingly brutal Glass Casket. Cutting his teeth touring the nation with the metal outfit, Menon realized that as much as he enjoyed the shredding and destruction Glass Casket provided him with, his heart still lie in the golden sounds of 70's AM pop. A sound he was eager to breathe new life into and bring back to the forefront in the scene at home. On their debut full-length, The View From Here, Yearling takes the arena-rock appeal of artists like Todd Rundgren and T. Rex and updates it with an ambience and soul all their own. The result is an album bursting with lush harmonies and fluid, textured guitar-work. There are hints of synth and sound loops that flesh things out and make each song it's own animal, an impressive feat in a sea of pop that pays tribute to yesterday and yet all sounds the same. The most impressive thing about the album is that you'll barely notice as the instantly catchy choruses bury themselves inside your head, unable to be shaken for weeks. But that's certainly not a bad thing as you'll find that the mood of the record is such that every time you hum it to yourself you'll be smiling.

Not bad, but not remarkably good either..........2003-09-11
THE VIEW FROM HERE makes for half-way decent "chill" music, largely because there's not much musically that'll draw your attention. Not that it's unpleasant, but it'll ultimately act as filler in your jukebox or on your CD rack.
