Amazon.com

Adagio follows in the rosin-dusted footsteps of The Impressionists, A Different Mozart, and A Different Prelude. As with those releases, it was produced by Dawn Atkinson and features many of the same artists. The results are as varied as the musicians. Violinist Tracy Silverman cuts one of his patented echo-delayed pizzicato violin arrangements of a Bach arioso, while Patrick O'Hearn drapes a somber keyboard shroud around the Adagio from Rodrigo's Fantasy for a Gentleman. Jeff Johnson and Brian Dunning find the Celtic air in the Adagio from Handel's Sonata in G, while Philip Aaberg discovers infinity between the notes of Barber's ubiquitous Adagio for Strings. He stretches the melody across his piano in finely drawn lines, subtlety filled out with synthesizer undertones. Subtlety is a casualty on Philipe Saisse's bongos, bells, and synth arrangement of Bach's Air on a G String. It's also sacrificed in a corny confection of Handel's Sarabande by Paul Schwartz. His ham-fisted electronic keyboards would've sounded dated even before Switched-On Bach. But Adagio features plenty of musicians who are willing to surrender themselves to their elegiac themes, including guitarist Steve Erquiaga, Mike Marshall, and Edgar Meyers. --John Diliberto

Simply Gorgeous !.......2003-10-05

This is the first Windham Hill compilation I've purchased in a long, long time, and I am thrilled with the music.
The artistry is stunning, the artists bring themselves to the music while at the same time maintaining the integrity of the original piece.
My favorite is Grieg's Nocturne, arranged and performed by Steve Erquiaga. I have been in love with his music from the moment
I heard his CD "Cafe Paradiso" (Imaginary road Records). It is absolutely stunning!
When I saw that he was on "Adagio" I went for it. I'm so happy that I did ...
Other hightlights for me are Philip Aaberg's "Adagio for Strings", Tracy Silverman's "Arioso" ..... they're all beautiful.
Thank You for this wonderful music.

Che bella voce.......2007-04-13

My husband and I LOVED this album. Nothing beats the stirring voice of Connie Francis. It brought back memories. Bellissima!

Connie's Italian songs.......2006-03-28

Its a very good Connie Francis Album. My favourite songs on the album are "Non Dimenticar" , "Mama" , "Tango Delle Rose". These songs sounds just like she sang them some 30 years ago. The voice is just the same. Its quite remarkable. I also rate highly the songs "Return to me" and "Addio me amor". The other songs also are very good but on some of them sometimes her voice lacks finesse(not much - sometimes just the end of the song) perhaps due to the constraints of the Italian language itself or perhaps she is not so young anymore. These songs would have been perfect otherwise. I would highly recommend this album to anyone.

Brava Connie!.......2005-10-20

This review is a little late but this two disc collection culled from her Italian LP releases are a MUST HAVE. The standout selections come from her last Italian release "Love Italian Style" which was recorded in Milan. Her voice is powerful and fluid and the orchestrations are pure genius. I'm not Italian, but after hearing this disc--I felt like one. Just another example of Connie's unique ability to submerge herself and become part of the song. Perhaps this is why she has baffled the critics for years and is terribly underrated today--because you could never pidgeonhole her or classify her. She was always too versatile to be labelled. Another splendid compilation. Volume II is equally magnificent. There is contention about Connie never being inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. She should be because she was the first female to break into an entirely male dominated territory and on her own terms. But Connie Francis is not a "rocker" per say. She is the finest intrepretar of the pop standard around today. And she's still going strong!

Love, Italian-American Style!!!!.......2005-06-03

Love, Italian-American Style

I love this album of Italian/Continental songs sung by Ms. Francis from the 60's. Francis had a lovely voice and it is no surprise that she was the most popular "pop" female vocalist of her day. Her renditions of these songs are just great, with Ms. Francis going from very good sounding Italian to English and back again. I have versions of some of these songs by Italian-born singers of the period such as Mina, Dalida, and Pino Donagio and Francis holds her own quite well alongside those marvelous vocalist. I would like to think that people, after hearing Connie's Italian/American interpretations, would also be interested in hearing the singers I mentioned above, in addition to other fine recording artists born in Italia.
Brava Concetta!
Luigi ~ NYC

Why are not there actually singers like her?.......2005-02-11

To say Connie was a triumph of the nature is not exaggerate. She was by far the best female singer not Italian who sang as anyone else the music of that beloved land. Her vocal inflexions, commitment and above all the absolute involvement in every piece he performed.

And despite her personal disgrace she had the spiritual courage to keep going and shine like an eternal star.

Ugh!.......2007-07-01

I was looking for music for an island theme party. The selection looked fun -- a lot of recognizable summer party songs with the steel drum flair. But then I bought it and actually listened to it. The steel drum parts are really good; however, the synthesized accompaniment is over powering and really cheesy (it sounds like it should be on Barney). Please, save your money and look elsewhere.

We listen to this CD while we are swimming in the pool or just hanging out with neighbors on our deck. It is great background music and makes you feel like you are on vacation.

The BEST Lullabies!!!.......2007-06-28

All three of my children loved this album. It was given to my daughter as a gift when she was born and she went to sleep each night listening to the tape. Unfortunately she wore the tape out so we had to order it on CD for our twin boys when they came home from the hospital a year ago. We played it for them each night to go to sleep by. The songs still remain their favorites and we love listening to them too. This album will always hold happy memories for us.

Easy to listen to over and over and over.......2007-05-14

I received this as a gift when my daughter was born 15 years ago. I had other lullaby CDs but, frankly, they got on my nerves. This music is beautiful, the lyrics original. I played it over and over because it soothed my daughter. I never got tired of it. When I need to give a baby gift, I always give the Rock-A-Bye Collection. It's magic.

2nd Generation Satisfied.......2007-02-16

I was fortunate enough to find this cassette when my son was very small. We both loved it for many years. I even tried singing May All Your Dreams Come True to him just before his wedding, but of course, couldn't make it through the tears. With my son's first child on the way, I was so happy to find this, now on CD, for my first grandchild.

Soothing lullabyes of which your kids won't tire!.......2005-09-27

I bought this CD when my first son was just a month old, and recently bought a second copy for a back-up. That little baby will be six in a few months, and he and his little brother still listen to it almost every night! (We have a third baby on the way who will probably learn to sleep to Rock-A-Bye, too.)

All of the original songs on this CD are first sung by a great female vocalist, and then repeated instrumentally. My boys really like the music, and while it's very sweet, it's not annoying to listen to. (Some children's music -- let's face it -- is just a little too cute.)

I have purchased this for baby gifts and my friends have all loved the CD as well. I definitely recommend this one!

The greatest lullabye collection ever!.......2005-09-02

I am buying a new CD since we have worn out our old tape! I was given this at my baby shower 9 years ago. I have 5 children now and I have used this music with all of them. They are easily soothed to sleep by the music and when we are not at home, I sing them these songs. We even take it along for long car rides. My children ages 9 and 5, beg me to sing these precious songs at bedtime. When I am not able to, we play the tape in their room. It is a huge part of my children's lives and will certainly continue with their children as well. I am so grateful for this precious music and the joy and soothing it continues to bring to my family!

The closest thing currently available to the Tempts' first Greatest Hits album, this CD actually provides partial redemption for the generally redundant Millennium Collection series. Sticking with one exception (the ambiguous drug song "Cloud Nine") to the group's '60s love songs, it's a quick reminder of what made them such a major part of radio-listening romancers' lives then and now. From the sweet "My Girl" and "The Way You Do the Things You Do" to the rough-edged, nearly paranoid "(I Know) I'm Losing You," these hits demonstrate the many ways Motown knew to say "I love you." --Rickey Wright

good intro to the tempts if you're a new fan.......2006-09-14

If you're a new fan (like I was when I 1st bought this) then this is a good CD for you to purchase but if you're a die-hard fan don't buy it cuz most likely you already have all of these songs! I bought this CD a year ago & now I can't get enough of The Tempts!

Ripoff.......2006-05-26

Universal could, of course, have put both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 on the same disc (22 songs total). And music companies wonder why CD sales are down/illegal downloads are up. Universal isn't the only offender in the cheapskate sweepstakes, but it certainly leads the pack. Great artists, and great music, done in by greed. Very sad.

A Great Cd.......2006-01-02

This is a very good cd, I don't know why the other reviewers disagree. I think this is an awesome cd. the Temptations are the best at what they do. This cd has thier most famous songs on it Like. My Girl, Papa's got A Brand new Bag, Ain't To Proud To Beg(My Fav.) & Others. I recomend this cd to who ever is a true Temptation's Fan.

If you liked this cd Check out the whole Temptaions, Cd Collection.

Laughable.......2003-02-16

I am a (as another reviewer put it) "die-hard" temptations fan. Always have been. Infact, my latest thing going on is trying to get their rare 80's albums [Together Again, Special, To Be Continued, etc] on CD. It is truly amazing that you can find the songs available in this particular collection on countless "greatest hits" collections. Save your money and buy the Emperors of Soul Box Set. You won't be disappointed.

For casual listeners ONLY...........2003-01-05

...because if you love the Tempts like I do, you already own these songs on other so-called "greatest hits" CDs or the original albums. This MILLENNIUM COLLECTION is merely a sampling of the incredible music that the Temptations have made over the years...a series like this doesn't really serve a group of their magnitude very well. So-so to start out with if you have absolutely NO Tempts music or if you aren't really a fan of theirs and you want to know what all the hype surrounding them is about.

It's clear that Motown/Universal is once again doing what they do so well: repackaging the same old hits that everyone has already on other Tempts CDs with a shiny, new look, because they know that it is pretty much classic Motown music like this that is keeping the ghost of this once-great label from going under! I gave this CD three stars only because The Tempts are one of my favorite groups and I like the songs on it, but honestly, this is a waste. Do NOT buy this CD - spend your money on ANTHOLOGY or the original albums instead, where the work of this magificent group can be better represented and appreciated.

Album Description

The Grateful Dead's revered and mercurial Jerry Garcia pursued an eclectic array of side projects throughout his life. Many were folk/bluegrass-oriented, but for a brief time a Garcia band incarnation known as Legion Of Mary conjured up an inspired rock and jazz vibe. Featuring Jerry on guitar/vocals, Merl Saunders on keyboards/vocals, John Kahn on bass, Martin Fierro on reeds, and former Elvis drummer Ron Tutt, the quintet played just over 60 now-historic shows from December 1974 through July 1975. Distinguished by hard grooves and that unique Garcia improvisational style, the unit disbanded in the wake of concurrent Dead activities such as the Blues For Allah sessions, but these never-before-released recordings capture their magic.

Customer Reviews:

Disappointing.......2007-03-02

Eh. I had high hopes for this one (having never heard the tapes), with the sax player in the band and the word "jazzy" used in all the hype. It's just OK, and it's not "jazzy" at all--this is basically a blues band. The sax player--instantly recognizable as the honker on the original studio version of Music Never Stopped--pretty much sucks. Why is it that in any rock band with a saxophonist, the sax is the weak link (yes, I include the E St. Band)? He adds nothing of interest, gets in Jerry's way pretty often, is out of tune most of the time, and keeps playing (at whim) through a wah-wah effect that makes him sound like a singing AFLAC duck. Jerry plays pretty well, but he hits a lot of clams on Melody and never really blows me away (as his playing often does). *shrug*

Very impressive.......2007-02-20

Thank you Rhino for putting out these amazing CD's. Since I've branched off in to the non-Dead Jerry area, this is one of the best I've found. I love the combination of guitar/organ/saxophone. It just works. The sound quality of this release is top notch. Listening through a good 2 speaker setup, there is a very distinct separation of instruments, ie, you can focus on just one very easily. This is one of the crispiest live recordings I've ever heard. My only complaint stems from the music itself... it does get a bit repetitive. It starts out with a bang with "tough mama", and for the rest of the first disc, they play at one speed - intense. Maybe my only problem here is track order. There are some slower numbers on the second disc. If you listen closely, they repeat some riffs very often. Very sweet, but in some ways it's a bit one-dimensional.

Very good, but not as good as the Keystone CDs.......2007-01-08

It's great that these old tapes are being put out on CD. The sound quality is very good and the playing is top rate as well. This selection is very good but does not measure up the the Keystone discs with Merl. The music is energetic enough, but the slower tunes and blues songs don't sway and move me. The guitar solos are good, but are not as emotional as fans have come to expect on the Keystone series. I'm being tougher in the comments because there seems to be a tendency among GD and Garcia reviewers to say everyting is the best as long as Jerry's voice isn't cracking and the sound quality is pretty good. With that said. this gets 4 stars based on how it stands alone and not in comparison to other great Garcia discs.

How Sweet It Is.......2006-07-28

Wow! How great to find such a great collection. Just got this CD set and the music is wonderful. I'm a long time Dead and Garcia fan, but I'm not like some that love everything they did just because its them. Jerry's later performances were not what they were earlier in his career. So its exciting to find some "new" music like this with Jerry in his prime. What great jams...what great guitar. The addition of the horns also brings a jazzy element (similar to "Wake of the Flood" songs) that is welcome here. The sound/recording is also top notch. This is a must buy!

Nice to have more.......2005-10-04

Taken from Portland,12/14/74, Berkelely,3/01/75,& 5/22/75,and San Francisco 2/27,7/04,& 7/05/75. With Garcia is Merl Saunders(keyboards,vocals),John Kahn(bass),Ron Tutt(drums),and Martin Fierro (sax, flute)this line up makes what was called The Legion of Mary. There is some great playing,and a a jazzy relaxed feel through out. Quality is excellent but nothing really new, just more and thats just fine,because when you love his music you can always here something just a little better or at least different in these types of releases ,that is new to our ears. I just hope Rino doesn't over saturate us with too much too fast with their Jerry Garcia Collection, this being Vol 1. There has been a lot of releases in the past 7 years, and this is one of the good ones.The shortest number here is just under 8 minutes,most around 11 minutes,lots of bang for you buck.

The engaging poetry!.......2006-12-19

One of the maxim exponents of Chopin in the first decades of the Century was undeniably Arthur Rubinstein. He knew to create - if I may - the perfect link between image and the Polish sentiment ; although the pioneer in this sense was Ignaz Jan Paderewski. Lodz was his birthplace and if Chopin was a self exiled in his historical moment., Rubinstein must have taken into account in September 1 1939.

He nourished the last traces of a dying romanticism - as well as Rachmaninov did it - after his forced exile from URSS. His golden sound was far from the tragic approach given by of Alfred Cortot, for instance. He played the piano according the canons of the artist of the Century XIX, expression and sentimentality, hovered by an ardent nationalism that still inflamed the poetic imagination in some corners of the world, specially in the enormous immigrant wave who chose different places in America in order to search a promised land.

His direct phrasing without intellectual or philosophical approaches deserved to him a special name in the Western hemisphere.

He is now part of the keyboard's legend as well as one of the Chopin`s champions.

Still beautiful to me.......2005-11-04

As a piano student during the 1950s and early 1960s, I remember that there were "knock down drag out" arguments between the "pro-Rubinstein" factions and the "anti-Rubinstein" factions of the classical piano performing world. I was made keenly aware of the aforesaid because my piano instructor was a "dye-hard" member of the "anti-Rubinstein" faction. Rebelliously, I purchased all of the Rubinstein recordings that I could get my little untalented hands on including this recording of Chopin's Waltzes. I remember loving them at the time as I still do now that I've restored this recording on CD to my collection.
Rubinstein's performance in this recording really touches my very soul. Upon hearing this recording again, I'm reminded of how much I loved them almost 50 years ago. Whatever one may call his playing (eccentric, sentimental, syrupy, etc.) it certainly has retained its appeal to me--as a young person or now as an older person. (Note: Rubinstein particularly plays the "sad little" waltzes in minor keys exquisitely!)
If you want to hear a master (at least to me) of Chopin playing some wonderful works, buy this disc.

barcode piano for barcode lovers everywhere!.......2005-04-23

i must repeat myself over and over again.STAY AWAY FROM RUBINSTEIN.his playing is just too eccentric its as if he was abducted by aliens and had chopins works downloaded into his brain.what you get is a sort of robotic chemistry with a dire attempt to sound artistic.
these high reviews do baffle me to oblivion.

Artur Rubinstein great recording of Chopinýs Bolero, Waltzes.......2004-01-05

Artur Rubinstein great recording of Chopin's Bolero and 14 Waltzes
By Peter Dietrich, president, Chopin Society of New England

Artur Rubinstein's performance of the fourteen waltzes seems to be among the definitive versions. This stereo recording from a one day session in June of 1963, issued on BMG in the Rubinstein collection volume 47, and the earlier version first issued on LP RCA Victor LM-1892 recorded in December, 1953 and issued on BMG Rubinstein collection volume 29, equals in sound and profound understanding the two great versions by Alexander Brailowsky (1896-1976) recorded in the early fifties on LP for RCA Victor LM-1082 as well as the stereo recording from the early sixties issued on Sony Music SBK 46346 in 1990.

The four recordings are milestones of the classical waltzes. Their interpretations have achieved expert fluidity with grace and elegance of nobility. As Robert Schumann remarked "should be danced at least by countesses." To the above recordings I will add Dinu Lipatti's recording issued by EMI in the Great Recordings of the Century series. My opinion is based on hearing a great number of outstanding as well as good performances through more than fifty years. I will just list several additional names from my collection who have recorded fourteen waltzes: 1) Robert Lortat (1930), 2) Alfred Cortot (1934 and 1943), 3) Edward Kilenyi (1952), 4) Moura Lympany (1959), 5) Witold Malcuzynski (1959), 6) Regina Smendzianka (1959 and 1961), 7) Samson Francois (1964), 8) Stefan Askenase (1964), 9) Adam Harasiewicz (1965), 10) Tamas Vassary (1966); pianists who have recorded nineteen waltzes: 1) Augustin Anievas (1970), 2) Geoges Cziffra (1979), 3) Claudio Arrau (1980 - several of the waltzes are played too slow), 4) Vladimir Ashkenazy (1984), 5) Lidia Grychtolowna (1989), 6) Istvan Szekely (1992), 7) Garrick Ohlsson (1996 - 20 waltzes in this recording) 8) Jerzy Sterczynski (1996 - 23 waltzes, which will be discussed in the future).

The famous Polish poet Kazimierz Wierzynski author of the "Life and Death of Chopin" (1949) makes the following observation. "Chopin's Waltzes have little or nothing in common with the atmosphere of the ballroom. Niecks calls them Tanzdichtungen (dance poems). How does Rubinstein play the Chopin Waltzes? Surely, their worldliness and elegance are particularly suited to this worldly and elegant pianist whose incomparable virtuosity goes hand in hand with his unique feeling for Chopin. Without in the least sentimentalizing Chopin, Rubinstein fully renders his warmth: he is the ideal interpreter of the waltzes in which tenderness is so subtly blended with sparkle, playfulness and deep emotion."

Other Chopin works included in this compilation are the four impromptus recorded in 1964 and the Bolero recorded in 1962. Harvey Sachs, author of Rubinstein's biography published by Grove Press, New York, 1995, wrote the following notes for this compilation: "The 1964 version of the Impromptus, heard here is typical of the beautifully poised, yet deeply poetic Chopin recordings that Rubinstein made in his seventies as a sort of summa of his interpretations of the music of his great compatriot." However, the glory of this compilation is the Bolero in A Major, Op. 19. Until the Rubinstein recording in 1962 when he was almost 75 years old, this work was "obscure" Chopin, almost completely forgotten and recorded very seldom as well as terribly underrated. Despite the obscurity of the work for such a long time, there are several recordings of it in existence. I will list the notable recordings from my collection according to their release:
1) Adam Harasiewicz, Philips (1972); 2) Arnaldo Cohen, Dischi Ricordi, LP (1978); 3) Nikita Magaloff, Philips (1979); 4) Vladimir Ashkenazy, London/Decca (1987); 5) Georges Cziffra, EMI (1987); 6) Nelly Ben-Or, Meridian Records (1989); 7) Idil Biret, Naxos (1993); 8) Garrick Ohlsson, Arabesque, vol. 8 (1997); 9) Emil von Saur (recorded 1940) Arbiter (1998); 10) Anatol Ugorski, Chopin Complete Edition DG, vol. 7 (1999).

All the above recordings, although inspired performances and technically excellent, do not reveal the hidden beauty of the dance, as does Artur Rubinstein in his performance. Mr. Rubinstein unhurried tempos and magical play with the pedal plus his affinity for Spanish music brings this work to interpretative splendid heights unknown until his recording and since. These five star performances are highly recommended for every music lover.

The Great Chopin Master.......2003-07-26

This CD is superb. It shows the best of Rubinstein's Chopin.He did this CD with so much clearness and feeling. Rubinstein ends the CD with the little known Bolero. I reccomend it a lot.

The seductive music of Don Williams has an insulated quality about it that makes it hard to resist. It's as if the world is swirling out of control around the Gentle Giant, yet he barely raises an eyebrow, blithely singing his soft, calming tunes. Give a Hot Country Star these songs, and their simple truths about love, faith, and country life would seem like platitudes. However, in the caress of Williams's warmhearted baritone, they come off as sincere, timeless nuggets of wisdom. With the barest of accompaniment, Williams took 10 of these 12 songs to the top of the country charts (while the remaining pair reached No. 2) in the '70s and '80s. Though he penned hits for many others, his own smashes usually came courtesy of writers such as Bob McDill and Wayland Holyfield, though Williams, a Texas native, clearly relates to their unpretentious, bucolic sentiments. Throughout, Williams gives good ol' boys back their good name and women back their dignity, and through the strength of his quiet determination, he makes such conventional concepts sound unfailingly hip. --Marc Greilsamer

Don Williams is a real voice master.......2007-01-11

l love the soothing, rich sound that Don Williams has. His voice is so mellow and I just find myself relaxing and forgetting the stress of the day frome the sound of his voice. I really think this is one great cd.

The Best of Don Williams Vol 1.......2006-07-04

This is a great CD and I recommend it to any Don Williams Fan. I received this item within 7 days of my order.

Don Williams The Gentle Giant.......2005-06-12

What a great album. I have this one and I can honestly say that I don't know which one is the best. But how can I say that anyone of Don's song aren't the best. Don has been a favorite of mine for along time. He has such a gentle voice and when you go to one of his concerts - OH MY!!! what a show. They are well worth attending and you will definitely fall in love with this gentle giant and that beautiful voice. I am never afraid to buy any of his albums or CD'S because I know that I will never be disappointed.

Warm Blanket of Country Sounds.......2003-08-15

What bad things can you say about Don Williams? Nothing comes to mind. His voice makes the simplistic, pure songs that he sings sound like nothing else. Mr. Williams' voice is like a warm blanket. If you feel bad, put on "Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good." Feeling a little reminiscent? Play "Good Ole Boys Like Me." There is not a bad song on this album, not one. From "I Believe In You" to "Tulsa Time" and finalized by "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend," this album has it all. I didn't give it five stars for the simple reason that I listen to other artists a little more than Mr. Williams. However, this album ranks as one of my all time favorites and I love listening to it.

Best of Don!.......2001-11-06

If you're a Don Williams fan, you certainly don't need a review to tell you about the songs on this CD. If you're not yet a fan, then this CD is a great place to start. This CD provides the basic "Don Collection", his older works. I don't believe anything on this work was recorded after about 1988...which is good news for you. I believe Don's best work is his oldest. He has a truly beautiful mellow, barritone voice that stands above any other you'll ever hear. Once you've enjoyed this CD, do yourself another favor and buy the oldest works of his you can find (Greatest Hits Vol. 1, or Listen to the Radio).

Worth a listen.......2005-10-01

This disc serves a number of purposes, all good. First of all, it's a sampler disc, giving you a taste of some music you might otherwise not hear. Secondly, acoustic versions (and live ones, for that matter) allow other interpretations by the original artists, which you seldom hear outside the concert venue. Overall, the quality and selections are good, and I got a chance to hear Henley do a cover of "Rain or Shine", which was worth the price of the disc.

One good track.......2005-09-29

Ok - maybe two good tracks.

Stevie Ray Vaughan opens the album with a powerful voice and a 12 string accoustic. We miss you Stevie.

But for me the album is worth it for the blues version of Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lennie Kravitz.

Why not just download those tracks from iTunes.

Fun Disc.......2005-07-15

This is a fun disc to throw in the stereo while you're working. Filled with some old favorites, each done with a unique twist. Enjoyable.
