5 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack to one of the best & most important video games in video game history, but could of been much better!!!.......2007-03-28

this soundtrack is with out a doubt one of the best musical scores i own hands down. theres just that it about it. very relaxing, very happy, very dramatic, & very whoa...thats creepy & just gave me goose bumps. all 82 are classics in my opinion. with that said there are some annoyances & drawbacks. one is that alot of these tracks are just to short plain & simple. a coulple more loops per tracks would do these tracks more justice(I.E. ice cavern & fire temple with an average of 40-45 sec.?????). speaking of the fire temple, there was supposedly some sort of anger some muslims had reguarding the messages(fire temple chanting), there was a protest by them, & nintendo(in the muslims favor)respectivly removed the chanting(as found in the 1.0 & 1.1 versions of the n64 game)& instead replaced it with a new reworked version(as heard in the 1.2 n64 version & all gamecube versions). i like both versions but i like the reworked version a little better(it just has that creepy goose bump feeling about it). it reminds me alot of the shadow temple with those weird deep voices(organ like). i just basically call the new version shadow temple part 2. now with that said...the fire temple theme on this cd is only 42 sec. long. they could of indeed used the new reworked 1.2 version with the organ like voices to make it better & more complete. no istead they just strip most of it & all you end up with is just the fire temple intro. pretty dumb on nintendo's part to do this. bottom line...this should of been a 2 cd set to really let the tracks have their time to shine, & the reworked fire temple theme should of made it to this set(with about a 2 min average)instead of this short track thats on this set. i still recommend this great piece of history along with the the majora's mask 2-cd soundtrack, majora's mask orchestrations, the ocarina of time hyrule symphony, ocarina of time re-arranged, the wind waker 2-cd soundtrack, zelda the music soundtrack, & the zelda sound collection soundtrack. there are other zelda soundtracks floating around that have'nt made it to their official pressings yet(the minish cap, the legend of zelda, the adventure of link, a link to the past, link's awakening, oracle of ages, oracle of seasons, a link to the past: four swords, four swords adventures, phantom hourglass, & twilight princess). all this great music just sitting there in the nintendo vaults just rotting away. when it could in fact be made into the ultimate zelda anthology cd set. 21 cd's worth of essential zelda greatness. i wish nintendo would stop letting their music go to waste & just do something with it like turn them into big box sets. anyway i recommed this OOT soundtrack to all.

5 out of 5 stars Great music, bad price.......2007-03-22

When people think of Legend of Zelda, they don't just see Link with his Master Sword and shield; they hear his music, too! As a Zelda fan, this CD is a very good reflection of the sense of pride I can feel when I play the game. =D

However, you shouldn't pay $50 for it. If you go to a Japanese import site, like CDJapan, you can find it new for only $20! Amazon just can't compare. Just search for "zelda" and you should find it. ^_^

5 out of 5 stars BUY THIS CD!!!!!!.......2007-01-12

JUST BUY IT!!!!!!! and get a master sword too. there both found here on amazon!

5 out of 5 stars Phenomenal.......2006-09-29

I've always been impressed with Koji Kondo's compositions for the Zelda and Mario series, and this is no exception -- most styles of music are represented here, and all of them have fantastic melodies. The instrumentals (all simulated, of course) are just right. Purchase this immediately if you're a fan of the video game, or just good music.

5 out of 5 stars Best stuff ever--period........2006-08-31

Okay, I don't usually listen to orchestras and stuff. I listen to Heavy Metal, like Trivium and Slipknot. This CD is a LONG way from that. I love it. I played the game 1 year ago. I still remember, picture perfect, what I was doing when that song played. Shooting arrows at the sun, fighting Ganondorf, fighting Ganon, everything. This CD is just awesome. If you have played Zelda: OOT, you better buy this CD. It kicks butt.

Amazon.com

In these days of the crossover, it is hardly surprising to find two great opera singers making a foray into numbers from Broadway musicals by such composers as Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. What's remarkable is that they seem completely at home in this music. Both say they grew up listening to it, and indeed they approach these songs with no less care and seriousness than they'd give the most demanding operatic arias, and without a trace of condescension. However, their vocal, expressive, and interpretive styles are very different, both in the solos and the duets. Terfel projects assertive manliness, tender, intimate affection, and rollicking humor without external effects, using only his incomparably sonorous voice and powerful personality. His diction is impeccably clear, and though he has sometimes let his theatrical flair spill over into Schubert songs, he is the soul of simplicity here. This is in stark contrast to Fleming's tendency to exaggerate colors and dynamics and to turn sentiment into sentimentality. Moreover, though she claims a background as a jazz singer, her "crooning" sounds artificial and unnatural. However, her top notes, culminating in a triumphant high C at the end of the final number, ring gloriously. Her voice glows and shimmers with irresistible luster, soaring from seductive whispers to thrilling climaxes. The program features a great variety of love songs, and includes an antiwar protest (from Beautiful Game), a celebration of the American dream (from Ragtime), and a rousing fun piece (from The Music Man). Unfortunately, even the best songs are marred by thoroughly corny arrangements. Listeners will find their own favorites, but the real "stars" on this record are the two singers. --Edith Eisler

4 out of 5 stars Delightful .......2006-07-24

I truly enjoy Terfel's vocal talent and found it to be well suited for this genre. Fleming's impeccable soprano voice is a bit overpowering for this style of music. (I own this CD)

5 out of 5 stars A Master Class in Singing.......2006-06-20

This CD is a must-have for any person interested in the singing art. Ms. Fleming and Mr. Terfel gives new light to these Musical Theatre classics. Their fine vocalism in the musical theatre genre coupled with the depth of musicality and dramatic phrasing in each of the selections is truly a breath of fresh air. This recording is indeed a Master Class!

4 out of 5 stars Bryn is swell, but the bombast is annoying.......2006-05-03

Love Bryn Terfel, the finest bass-baritone in Opera. Love Renee Fleming's luscious soprano. But the arrangements! Kettle drums and bombast and bang, bang, bang! Once Renee starts swooping, things go downhill, with little redemption.

It starts out beautifully. "Not While I'm Around" has never sounded more intimate to me than Terfel's caressing pianissimo. Fleming's "Moonglow" is stunningly good. Terfel makes a medley out of "I Don't Remember You and Sometimes a Day Goes By" that makes you want to cheer, and Fleming does a lovely Sondheim medley as well. Bryn sings "Stars" and makes me long for him in Les Mis. And then...things tend to go downhill. The bombast takes over and gets to you - it overwhelms two of the biggest voices now recording. Then Fleming begins to swoop and scoop, over-coloring and often coming off as simply self-indulgent, reminding one of a kid who makes a point of putting his face in a camera shot.

I don't mind Bryn as Prof. Harold Hill - I frankly think the Welsh accent is kinda cute - and it doesn't bother me on "Wheels of Dream," either, but Fleming seems to have lost her mind on that great song, and rather than indulging her, it would have simply been better left off the album. Ditto "All that Wasted Time" which is pretty much unlistenable. Ms. Fleming needs to stop thinking she is a jazz singer.

The four stars are because this album does contain some truly GLORIOUS moments, particularly in the duets, and in Terfel's solo's which are warm and memorable. Without him, the kettle drums and Fleming's self-indulgence would have made the whole endeavor unbearable.

5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Fine Crossover from Fleming and Terfel.......2006-04-18

Bryn Terfel and Renee Fleming are two of the most acclaimed opera singers of our day. But the musical theatre fan who puts on their Broadway CD, RENEE AND BRYN: UNDER THE STARS, expecting to hear a carelessly compiled hodgepodge of songs sung by voices ill-suited to them is in for a big surprise, beginning with the first phrases of the duo's warmly sung "Not While I'm Around" from SWEENEY TODD. True, these singers' beautiful voices have greater power and range than even the best of the Broadway stars', but this is an asset in these songs, most of which are either semi-operatic in nature or call (like THE MUSIC MAN's "Seventy-Six Trombones") for such an outsize personality as Terfel's. Fleming's sensuous and tonally gorgeous rendition of "Moonfall" from THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD can be placed among her very finest recordings, operatic and otherwise. And Terfel is ideally suited to both "Pretty Women" from SWEENEY TODD and "Stars" from LES MISERABLES; few if any Broadway Javerts could match the impact of his "This I swear by the stars!" Kander and Ebb's "I Don't Remember You" and "Sometimes a Day Goes By" make a perfect medley here, as do Sondheim's "I Wish I Could Forget You" and "Loving You" from PASSION. And though I don't care for the Andrew Lloyd Webber selections (ersatz Puccini) or the Jason Robert Brown one (which sounds too much like a pop song), Terfel and Fleming's singing of them is beyond reproach. The program ends with a bang: a rendition of "Wheels of a Dream" worthy to stand beside the now-classic one by Brian Stokes Mitchell and Audra McDonald on the original cast album of RAGTIME. Welshman Terfel's natural accent is noticeable here; but if one imagines him as, say, an Irish immigrant married to an African-American woman (as Fleming here sounds uncannily like McDonald or like Leontyne Price) his accent is appropriate and his voicing of the "bridge" section ("Oh Sarah, it's more than promises/Sarah, it must be true...") especially moving. Fleming's ecstatic final high note makes one want to applaud and cheer, both for the song and for the successful "crossover" effort.








5 out of 5 stars BREATHTAKING VOCAL MAGNIFICENCE~BRAVO!!!.......2004-10-11

So captivating are these incredible singers in the glorious live concert "Under The Stars" creating an unforgettable musical masterpiece of epic proportions that is so moving and great to watch that I ran out and purchased this studio recorded Compact Disc the next day!! The brilliance of the live broadcast carried over into the recording studio capturing Renee and Bryn at the peak of their incredible powers emotionally and vocally making them the most effective crossover artists since the great Barbara Cook who like Miss Cook sing with emotion that is accurate for this type of material which is usually not the case with classical voices. Renee Fleming sings with genuine passion and stirring emotions and her timing is absolutely flawless and this lady has alot of soul and the Torrie Zito arranged "Moonfall" is a stunning masterpiece that clearly illustrates this. A dazzling medley each show both singers in glorious peak form with Bryn splendid in the enchanting "I Don't Remember You/Sometimes A Day Goes By" and Renee spellbinding and haunting in the gorgeous "I Wish I Could Forget You/Loving You" which will make anyone who loves a great voice fall in love with this amazingly gifted singer. "Stars" features a commanding performance from Bryn that raises the roof and this is so refreshing and inspired in these musically tired times!!! This superb showcase is full of wonderfully exciting performances which are capable of making people feel again and this is what is sorely needed in music today and BRAVO to Bryn Terfel and the gorgeous Renee Fleming for achieving this with complete artistic brilliance. Captivating duets fill this wonderous collection and never have classics such as "Not While I'm Around" or "All I Ask Of You" been sung more brilliantly than here. Renee is magical with "Hello, Young Lovers" while Bryn is commanding and winning with "Pretty Women". Renee's stunning "All The Wasted Time" is a vocal and emotional tour-de-force that is like a wild roller-coaster ride that you won't want to end as this is one of the most riveting songs that I have ever heard from a Broadway score and this certainly must be the definitive performance of this great song. This lady can really really sing and this is some deeply serious singing~WOW!!! Gorgeous together again in the beautiful "How Could I Ever Know" which is hair-raising and wonderfully soulful and sophisicated together in Cole Porter's "So In Love". A grand finale by these two awesome vocal wonders lives up to expectations being a complete blowout vocal festival and they definitely do not disappoint here!!! "Wheels Of A Dream" is mesmerizing and soars to magnificent heights with Bryn and Renee in peak form singing to the skies and hitting notes that I swear I have never heard before~BRAVO!!!!!!! You are both magically inspired and simply put as good as it gets!!!! Highly recommended if you love two awesome vocal wonders at their absolute peak in a magnificent beautifully orchestrated setting!!! Thank you Bryn & Renee...

If you enjoy the sounds that the mighty Wurlitzer Pipe Organ can produce - you'll enjoy this album. George Wright is probably the best ever at mastering the multiple banks of keys and pedals of this complex instrument, and the music is very relaxing and entertaining. The sounds he coaxes out of the Wurlitzer on "Quiet Village" are remarkable. Easily one of his best - excellent on either a small office stereo, or played on a home theater system.

5 out of 5 stars Varèse Sarabande à son meilleur!.......2003-04-17

Robert Townson célèbre ici le 500ème cd à être édité par Varèse Sarabande en créant une compilation receuillant les nombreux réengistrements que Varèse Sarabande sut faire au travers des dernières années. Regroupant du matériel de Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, John Williams, Alex North et plusieurs autres, In Session propose un parcours éclectique au travers des années de compositions de chacune des bandes sonores présentées au sein de la compilation. Le voyage commence à avec la musique rejetée de 2001 d'Alex North, pour faire un parcours passant par Rebecca, Citizen Kane (Félicitons ici le FABULEUSE voix de la soprano Janice Watson et la direction impécable de Joel McNeely), Viva Zapata!, Psycho, The Sand Pebbles, Patton, Jaws, Platoon (Autre musique rejetée du regreté Georges Delerue, pastiche du célèbre Adagio pour cordes de Samuel Barber), Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Musique composée par Joel McNeely pour le livre se déroulant entre The Empire Stricke Back et The Return of the Jedi) pour finalement clore avec Tara's Bulba. Il s'agit ici d'une sélection très riche, des morceaux d'une durée appréciable et d'une direction et d'une sonorité incroyable. Il s'agit ici d'un merveilleux cadeau de Robert Townson et Varèse Sarabande (Label qui célèbre en 2003 son 25ème anniversaire. Surveillez aussi la compilation de Varèse Sarabande (4 cds pour le prix de un!) qui verra le jour le 22 avril 2003) et c'est une compilation que toute personne sensible à la musique doit posséder! Chapeau Varèse!

5 out of 5 stars A copy in every household . . ........2003-02-09

This disc is so chock-full of classic scores from classic films that every movie-and-music lover should own a copy. Thanks to Robert Townson for producing this collection and the entire Varese film score catalog. My favorite tracks from this disc are "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"; "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"; and "Midway".

5 out of 5 stars A sampler feat. some of the greatest film scores in history........2001-09-06

Words cannot convey what a collection like this means to a film music collector such as myself. Varese Saraband has been releasing quality film scores and music for the last 20 plus years. My vinyl and CD collections burst with so much great stuff from Varese. One day I was looking in the bins of my local record store and noticed this little gem of a collection. I looked at it and saw a virtual cornucopia of the great film score cues for only $ (and 2 discs). So I purchased it and opened it up. Much to my surprise, the booklet is chock full of information about each scoring session and pictures to boot. I also learned more about some of these wonderful pieces as well. Well thanks to Mr. Townson and this nice collection, I plan to purchase some of the recordings these cues were released on since I don't own classics like Viva Zapata, Alex North's 2001, Superman (not the Varese version, I do have the other release), and Patton. Guess I will have to save a few pennies, but it will be worth it. I recommend this collection to anybody who wants to discover and learn about the history of film music. I also think it's a great listen from the first song to the last on both discs. My compliments to Varese on a great collection of classics (and keeping it under $).

5 out of 5 stars "the man behind Varese Sarabande ~ Robert Townson".......2001-04-06

The music that this label releases is without a doubt in a class by themselves, always perfection. Here we have the 500th CD release from ~ "The Man Behind The Music" ~ Mr. Robert Townson. So much care is taken with each album, that you feel you are witnessing the birth of a newborn baby, and that may be just what it is.

For those of us who buy each album ~ people who work to create them ~ the artwork ~ musicians ~ and a list of some of the most talented composers and conductors ~ John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, John Debney, Georges Delerue, Cliff Eidelman, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, Michael Lang, Henry Mancini, Joel McNeely, Alfred Newman, Alex North, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Shostakovich, Frederic Talgorn, Franz Waxman, Rick Wentworth and John Williams ~ and as always the sound quality and performances by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra and National Philharmonic Orchestra is dynamically flawless and simply superb.

This economically priced 2-CD-Set ~ pure film score sampling ~ is worth it's weight in gold. One should not have a favorite from this vast collection, but if asked ~ it would be "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" (1962) composer Elmer Bernstein took it to the limit and beyond, the story-line, cast and score was the perfect marriage.

A big, big thank you to ~ Matthew Joseph Peak (cover/session photography) ~ Jonathan Allen, Geoff Foster, Bernie Kirsh, Mike Ross, Mike Sheady and Al Swanson (recording engineers) ~ Rich Breen (mastering engineer) ~ and for the extensive 28 page liner-note booklet featuring "behind the scenes" memories of these past 500 albums, may we look forward to future classics on the next 500 CD's from producer...ROBERT TOWNSON!

Fox's sports department is celebrated (critics would say derided) for the giddy, high-energy attitude it brings to its productions. Aside from commentators who act like they're sitting on whoopee cushions, music plays the biggest role in setting the wired mood for Fox's NFL broadcasts. This set collects some Fox pregame favorites--you know, the kind of stuff that accompanies footage of a big hit or breakaway run. Here, alternative rockers (Blur, Smash Mouth), mix with hip-hoppers (Master P, Snoop Dogg), and electronica aces (Moby, Crystal Method), with jock analysts John Madden and Terry Bradshaw turning up in interludes. For pigskin devotees, Game Time is more fun than a forearm shiver. --Steven Stolder

4 out of 5 stars GET PUMPED!!!!.......2001-01-11

I can't hear this CD without getting thoroughly and completely pumped! Especially good is the "Fox Football Theme" which is played in its entirety. The commentaries by Pat Sumerall, John Madden, Terry Bradshaw, and others which are also included on this CD are especially interesting. Whether you are getting ready for the "big game" or just feel low, listening to this will boost your spirits 1000% It's great!

5 out of 5 stars One Hell of a CD.......2000-04-17

A rock-jock compilation to top all others...rap edge tightens up the tracks. One rollicking good time.

4 out of 5 stars Big Variety of Different Music.......2000-01-17

This cd has got every kind of music that they would play in stadiums or arenas around the country. It has rock,rap,techno,and a lot of mixes of songs. It also features some big hit songs. The reason why I gave it a 4 star rating is because it does have some rap,which I'm not into, but its a great album to get pumped up for a sporting event.

3 out of 5 stars I waited for this for five years.......2006-06-30

Between Amazone, Ebay and Napster, I don't usually buy CDs anymore, and I usually wait till I can buy them cheaper "new and used". When this set came out, I was excited, mainly by Disc 5, but wasn't going to spend $70 on it. I waited till it was cheap enough, and got it for Father's day this year.
It was worth the wait.

The concept is great. The packaging is great. The recording is great. Disc five is really cool for an ALW aficionado. There are a few real gems on it; my favorites are Petula Clark's "I Could Have Given You More" and "Benedicite."
I've always thought "Gus the Theatre Cat" made a great medley on the piano with "Unexpected Song" and "I DOn't Know How to Love Him," but wished there was an alternate lyric to match the other two songs. Now that I know there *is*, and it's a good lyric, it's a dream come true.
The melody of "Benedicite" is one of my favorites from _Sunset_ (the book mis-identifies it as "SUrrender"; it's actually "The Lady's Paying" and "Eternal Youth is Worth a Little Suffering"). The lyrics are the canticle from Daniel 3, which comes up every odd Sunday in the Divine Office, so it's nice to have cool music to sing it with.

I haven't bought _By Jeeves_ or _THe Beautiful Game_ yet, to it was great to sample them.

There are other parts of the CD taht aren't found in my collection. I like CD 4 "The Hits."

But the selections on CDs 1-3 don't make sense.

First, any self-respecting ALW fan has the Original London Cast of _Phantom_, so six tracks are totally useless. Why not draw from the Canadian cast with Colm Wilkinson? Or pull out some obscure recordings never published.

Why two different tracks with Michael Ball singing "Love Changes Everything", yet they're hardly any different?

On Disc 5 is "It's Only Your Lover Returning," sung by Julie Covington. It's an early draft of the song (Lloyd Webber and Rice went through several suggested titles) and quite nice. The very thing one expects on a Boxed Set.
So why have the Julie Covington "Don't Cry for Me" on disc 1?? The only difference is a few words, but it's otherwise identical. Why not Elaine Paige or Patti Lupone or Madonna?

The _Evita_ section is otherwise the best, choosing a sample from each major recording, though I'd have chosen slightly differently (as above).

There is a great selection of "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer" from the Sydmonton festival, using the original music that was changed when _Cats_ went to Broadway_. It would have been nice if they'd included more recordings from Sydmonton, like the original lyric of "All I Ask of You" shown on the second DVD to the _Phantom_ movie.

With so many great actress-singers who've played Norma Desmond, why does the collection beat us over the head with Glenn Close?

Paul Miles Kingston must be set for life in royalties, for the number of albums the original recording of "Pie Jesu" has appeared on. "Amigos Para Siempre" is nice, but it reminds me of Shari Lewis's "The Song that Doesn't End," especially when it's been used on so many compilations.

In short, this is a great collection for the obscure material, if you can get it cheap. But for a boxed set, it's a poor sampling, drawn mostly from the most familiar recordings.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent collection but BIG PUBLISHING MISTAKE! .......2006-01-10

Please beware they made a mistake on this. It's actually the shortened Ray Shell version of STARLIGHT EXPRESS from the original 1984 London cast - NOT the El Debarge single from 1987 like it says on the box. I don't know how they let that goof pass. Sorry to Ray Shell. Having said that, this is an outstanding compilation of Lloyd Webber's greatest hits.

4 out of 5 stars ONE OF LLOYD WEBBER'S BEST COMPILATIONS, DESPITE A FEW FLAWS.......2005-03-21

Regardless of the fact that some of his latest efforts (most notably, The Woman in White) are disappointing, there can be little doubt that Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of the greatest composers ever to work in the musical theatre. Ever since his "Jesus Christ Superstar" hit the stage in the early 70-is, it was clear that the conception and perception of musicals are never going to be the same again. Many of his songs became standards not only in the theatre history, but also as tops on the charts. Even though he's British, his influence on the shape of the modern musical theatre expanded over the West End boundaries long ago and has thus made an enormous impact on Broadway. Two of his shows ("Cats" and "The phantom of the opera") hold the record as two the longest running shows in the history of Broadway. He has also been the only composer to have three of his shows running at Broadway concurrently. Some of his awards include three Grammies, a Golden Globe, an Oscar and a bunch of Tony awards. But perhaps most of all, Lloyd Webber is responsible for bringing the musicals and the theatre appealing to the wide audiences, who in different circumstances would not consider seeing a musical. The secret of his success is probably the mixture of beautiful and catchy melodies, interesting subject matter (though some, like Starlight Express, are too thin) and grandiose staging.

Over the years many compilations of his work have emerged. In the late 80-is and early 90-is it was the "Encore" series and lately the one-disc collection called "Gold". The one in question here can be considered one of the best currently on the market. First, it includes a 3-disc selections from all of his shows, minus the latest one, i.e., "The Woman in White", which, considering the triviality of the score, is no great lost. The fourth disc covers some of his most known songs sung by the famous artists. Then, there is the fifth disc with previously unreleased material, most of which are the songs ALW wrote with Tim Rice for various artists during the 70-is. The disks are all neatly packed in a hardcover book that features 67 pages of pictures and text with information about each of ALW's shows. One of the other assets here is the perfect sound quality, since all of the tracks have been digitally remastered.

Here are my basic impressions and comments regarding the material on the discs:

* Disc #1 has the selections from "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Evita", "Cats" and "Song & Dance". The Superstar material mostly comes from the Concept Recording. Although the songs sound beautiful as always, their orchestration is a bit dated now. Only Steve Balsamo's "Gethsemane" from the 1996 revival cast has a modern rock sound. "Evita" comes with the material from all of the major recordings: London, Broadway and the movie productions, as well as the Concept album. No objections here; since this is one of ALW's most satisfying works, every song is just perfect, although Patti LuPone, the Broadway and overall the best Evita, is left with only a couple of lines. With the selections from "Cats", however, I have some doubts. A plus to the choice of the "Jellicle ball" impressive orchestral sequence from the 1998 movie version and "Mister Mistoffelees" from the 1981 London cast. One of the best known ALW's songs, "Memory", also comes from that album. It's a pretty version and Elaine Paige's rendition cannot be matched, but why include this when the definite version, featuring an 80-piece orchestra and Elaine Paige with much better interpretation, can be found in the same movie version. Thusly, one has to buy Elaine Paige's latest 2-disc compilation "Centre Stage: The very best of Elaine Paige" to get that one. And "Gus the theatre cat" is more a recital than a song, so there was not much point in including that. Marti Webb brings her vocal charm to the "Song & Dance" sequence, Sarah Brightman sings "Unexpected song" with her famous soprano, but as much as I like her version, Bernadette Peters, who was in this show on Broadway is strangely left out here.

* Disc # 2 starts with "Starlight Express". This was never one of my favorite ALW's shows; the plot is even lighter than in "Cats" and the 1984 original cast recording is terribly dated. Yet, here we have one terrific duet, "I am starlight" from the original together with three songs from the later revivals and it seems that fresh orchestrations were just the thing Starlight needed. My favorite remains a touchy ballad, "Next time you fall in love". "Requiem" is the most solemn of all ALW's compositions, written in 1985 to commemorate the death of his father. Placido Domingo's tenor rides together with the chorus all the way through the strong "Hosanna", only to be joined by Sarah Brightman in the final moments of this song. She then gives an echoing deliverance of "Pie Jesu". What can be said of ALW's next show, "The Phantom of the Opera"? A phenomenon in its own right, it's easy to see from the six numbers included here why this is one of the best and most beloved musicals of all time. The cast, the music, the story - everything is perfect. Although "Aspects of love" was never a popular hit, it does have some of the most beautiful love melodies ALW has ever written. "Love changes everything" sung by Michael Ball is probably one of the best tunes ever about love. The rest of the selected material here has a dreamy love flavor and the melodies find their way into your brain in the best Lloyd Webber way.

* ALW's first musical, "Joseph and the amazing Technicolor dreamcoat" was more successful in its revival form than the original from the 70-is. The three songs included here are sung by the show stars, Jason Donovan and Donny Osmond. Maria Friedman was not a lucky choice to play the narrator, as the track from the 1998 movie version shows. "By Jeeves" was ALW's only big flop when it came to the stage in the 70-is. The 1995 revival sounds much better though, full of funny numbers in the best manner of the musical comedy. "Travel hopefully" remains one of the show's highlights on this compilation. "Sunset Boulevard" comes next. "Sunset" remains for me one of Webber's best scores; lush and beautiful. I listen to the original cast recording with Patti LuPone all the time. However, here most of the songs are performed by Glenn Close. A big mistake. If you've ever listened the American premiere recording with her, you'll know what I am talking about. She may have a strong stage presence, but her vocal abilities are too limited, and her aggressive approach to the role lacks any subtlety. Therefore, the two big numbers from this show, "With one look" and "As if we never said goodbye" are ruined by the fact she can't sing. The same goes for the American Joe Gillis, who was played by Alan Campbell. Luckily, Patti LuPone and Kevin Anderson, the original Norma and Joe from the London production, make their brief entrance here with the "Perfect year"; enough to show how better they are. The funny thing is, on the jacket and inside of it, Glenn Close and Alan Campbell are credited as performers in this song as well. If this was a mistake on ALW's part, it was a good one. The next ALW's show, "Whistle down the wind" was never a critic's dear and yet the audiences rushed in to see it in London. The score brings back ALW to his rock and roll roots of the seventies and the story is quite interesting. But the selections here are not the happiest, since the cast recording boasts with much better songs. And finally, "The Beautiful Game". Again, we have one of those ALW's shows that is worth in its individual parts rather than as a whole. "Our kind of love" and "Let us love in peace" are two catchy ballads. The latter is a nice amalgam version not available elsewhere. The two other tracks here I could live without.

* Disc # 4 has the songs from all the above shows performed by different artists. The assembled tracks have their pros and cons. For example, we have some previously unreleased stuff, like Dame Kiri Te Kanawa's operettic rendition of "The heart is slow to learn", or a stunning and epic "A kiss is a terrible thing to waste" from "Whistle down the wind", performed by The Metal Philharmonic Orchestra. Then again, what was the point in including almost identical tracks as the ones on the previous disks? So we have Michael Ball again singing "Love changes everything" with only a bit different orchestration; Sarah Brightman comes out again with the same Phantom duets, but only with the different male singers. It would be much more appropriate to include tracks from the Toronto Cast of the Phantom, with Colm Wilkinson. Other pop deliverances (Tina Arena's "Whistle down the wind", Barbra Streisand's "As if we never said goodbye", Boyzone's "No matter what" and many more) were wisely chosen. Patti LuPone is again nowhere to be found and Petula Clark's "With one look" sounds too worn-out.

* The last disc is probably the one that will be of most interest to Lloyd Webber aficionados. It consists of entirely previously unreleased material ALW for the most part wrote for various artists during his early years, with Tim Rice. Some of these tunes, not successful as a singles, were later used in his shows. Thus "Down thru' summer" became "Buenos Aires"in Evita, "Try it and see", an unsuccessful attempt for the Eurovision was used for "King Herod's song" in "Superstar" and so on. Some of these songs are nicely made pop songs: "Make believe love", ALW's first recorded composition, for which he provided the lyrics; "Goodbye Seattle", sung by Paul Raven, who later became Gary Glitter; "Come back Richard, your country needs you", from a never made musical, sung here by Tim Rice, or Latin flavored "Magdalena", with Tony Christie singing. My all time favorite here is a song called "It's easy for you", sung by none other than Elvis Presley himself. Lloyd Webber and Rice sent him a demo recording that he accepted and recorded this live version a couple of weeks before he died. It's amazing to hear how his voice remained in the perfect shape. Also, there is a track of Andrew Lloyd Webber singing "Policle dogs and Jellicle cats" while plying the piano. His voice doesn't sound bad at all.


Taken as a whole, this compilation makes a perfect birthday or Christmas present to any fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber shows, or just anybody interested in some of the best tunes from the modern era of the musical theatre; despite the flaws I mentioned above. To the former, it may just be the final addition for the Andrew Lloyd Webber collection.

5 out of 5 stars SUCH MAGICAL MUSIC OF THE NIGHT!.......2003-01-19

"Evita." "Sunset Blvd." "Starlight Express." "Jesus Christ Superstar." "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." "Requiem." "Aspects of Love." The man who is the most recognized composer in the history of the musical theatre, the man who has won more Tonys than any other composer, the man who boasts the best-selling show of all time ("The Phantom of the
Opera") and the longest-running show of all time ("Cats"), the man whose homes are filled with three Grammys, five Oliviers, a Golden Globe, and Oscar and too many other honors and hosannas to mention, the man knighted in 1992 certainly doesn't need an introduction. Now Decca Broadway pays tribute to Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber with "Now and Forever," a spectacular 5-CD set compiled and produced by Sir Andy himself. It's cheaper than a
ticket to "The Producers" ... and more much exciting. This treasure trove contains highlights from all of Webber's shows, and a bonus disc of tunes sung by Betty Buckley, Barbara
Streisand, Jose Carreras, Boy George, Charlotte Church, Madonna, Tom Jones, Petula Clark, even Elvis! A must for lovers of theatre---and good music.

4 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Sir Andrew fans.......2002-05-21

This five-CD collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber's career is fantastic. It leaves virtually no stone unturned. I have no doubt that diehard Webber fans will love this, especially for the 5th disc entitled "From the Vaults." This disc alone is worth the price as it contains tunes never before heard by the typical fan. Who knew Elvis did a Lloyd Webber tune?!? I didn't! Also the tune "Benedictine" which the composer wrote for his most recent marriage is not only pretty, but it has the same medley as "The Lady's Paying" from "Sunset Blvd." which I found highly enjoyable. Another great track is the composer himself singing a cut song from "Cats" entitled "Pollicle Dogs and Jellicle Cats" which has the same tune as "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats," but to hear Sir Andrew sing is a blast...he sounds a lot like Al "Year of the Cat" Stewart.
The cuts from the musicals are great but are likely owned by ALW fans as they are on the original cast albums. And I'm glad that there were tunes included from the composers most recent efforts which have yet to make it beyond London (Whistle Down the Wind, Beautiful Game).
My only complaint is the inclusion of way too many tracks by Sarah Brightman. She must've received a great divorce settlement that included having tunes on any ALW collection until the end of time!! Her interpretations of some of the tunes were limp and uninspired. I would've much rather heard casts from around the world rather than yet another song by this disdainful soprano! How about Colm Wilkinson's version of "Music of the Night" from the original Canadian cast of "Phantom"? Or Michael Crawford's version of "Unexpected Song"? What? No Betty Buckley from "Sunset Blvd."? And of course there are songs you KNOW are going to be on the collection before you even listen to it as they have been on EVERY ALW collection for the past decade or so.
A great collection but too much Sarah Brightman!

4 out of 5 stars The Sands Of Time provide an excellent soundtrack.......2005-12-23




If you've played UBI-SOFT's remake of Jordan Mechner's Prince of Persia series, THE SANDS OF TIME, you'll know that aside from the charming characters Princess Farah and The Prince himself, the game's big drawer were the beautifully designed castles and enviorments of Ancient Persian and Indian kingdoms, the intense fights (zero boss battles save one), and the puzzles that made the gears in your head turn. But of course, its hard not to forget the music that set the atmosphere for each battle or cinematic throughout the game.



The music as a stand alone is a true treat for the ears; You can picture the battles fought in whatever way and the cinematic scenes as the music plays on your radio or computer. Composer Stewart Chatwood provides and excellent soundtrack to the game with varying string instruments, sitar electric gituars along with the meserizing Arabian vocals of Maryeem Tollra and others playing in sync with most of the battle or cinmatic themes on the soundtrack that define each track. The CD is over fifty minutes long which and should please anyone who like a soundtrack that isn't too long.



However, like with most videogame soundtracks, this Japanese IMPORT for The Sands of Time is riddled with thirty to fifty six minute tracks inbetween two to three minute songs, which may disappoint the listener a great deal. Another letdown with the SOT - OST is the price tag coming along with the CD itself.




The $49.99 price tag is bound to get higher with the cost of shipping and handling, so this will defiantly make some people weary of purchasing. There is also 15 (the 16th being a comerical song titled "A scratch in time" performed by DJ-Melo-D) tracks from the game itself availble for downloading on the internet.


If that still doesn't please your purse, a page on SoundtrackNet describes an "Prince of Persia: The Official Trilogy Soundtrack" CD which combines several tracks of music from all three 2003-2005 Prince of Persia games --The Sands Of Time, Warrior Within and the recently released The Two Trones--- for a estimated consumer friendly price of only $13.00 wherever it is sold.


If the Import Tax price doesn't bother you, "The Prince of Persia - Sands Of Time OST" from Japan will be a surprisingly enjoyable buy for those who don't mind the thirty second cinematic tracks and looped battle theme music. Others will have to look elsewhere.


The best battle themes of the game are downloadble internet titled battle themes:

1): Introduction (The Start Menu theme) 5/5

2): The 1st Battle (Prince battles through Indian palace) 5/5

8): The Magic Cavern (The Prince dreams of a fantasic oasis with Farah) 4/5

7): The Final Fight (The Prince Battles the Vizier after the sands are reclaimed in the Hourglass) 4/5

4 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings.......2006-01-15

Well this cd had some dissapointments, One was the tacky Techno songs. Yes I know this cd was arranged this way, but some just go too far with it. The "Shop" song though is a good take on it. Changing it into a neat jazzy song. Last Battle, and Zeldas Theme arn't too bad either. Anyway to make a long story short, If you arn't a big fan of techno (like myself), but want to own this, go ahead. Just a warning you might be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars Expands on underappreciated tunes. In a great way........2004-10-29

I bought this CD about a year ago, and I still enjoy listening to it. I especially recommend to anybody who likes techno music - you probably should like Zelda, too. I'll give my impressions for each track below.

1 - Title theme - takes a sleepy, kinda boring music (that I always skipped in the game, anyway) and gives it a beat. It makes it much more interesting than it was. 8 out of 10.

2 - Battle - an interesting choice for sure. Usually, the battle theme, while ever-present, isn't something you'd pay attention to. It's more of a warning about nearby enemies than a full-fledged music track - or at least it seems that way in the game. Here it's greatly expanded (again with the techno beat treatment) and becomes a tune you might expect to hear in, say, a sub-boss fight. Another 8.

3 - Lost Woods - while this tune can be hyper-annoying in the game (especially if you happen to forget the way in the Lost Woods and end up spending hours there...like me...), in non-repeating doses it's quite good. In fact, this would be an excellent track if not for the annoying yelping noise (what IS that?) towards the end of the track, when it repeats the beginning - only with yelps. 7 out of 10.

4 - Shop - here's where this CD shines. It takes a simple tune and repeats it about 4 times, using different instruments. A simple recipe for success - this song is entirely fun to listen to, and the tune is deep enough that it doesn't get boring. My favorite is the part that sounds like an electric organ - and of course the end part repeats the opening, only somehow better. More climactic. This song is pure fun. 10 out of 10.

5 - Epona's Song - Hm, Amazon missed this one in their track listing. The music isn't anything to write home about - just the sleepy ranch music that sounds much like the game's. What makes this song really interesting is that it's actually sung - with lyrics, which the games have never done (the most speechlike thing I've heard in a Zelda game was "Oy!" in the Wind Waker). And it's good! Probably best if you can understand the Japanese lyrics, but another reviewer did us all the favor of posting a translation. It suits the game, and sounds great overall - especially that part towards the end where - what are those, bagpipes or something? - join in with the aforementioned "ranch" music. At least an 8 out of 10, though I may be underranking this one.

6 - Zelda's theme - I wasn't going to say much about this track, but I just listened to it again, and it's better than I remember. The main part sounds exactly like the game's ocarina, and the outstanding backup makes this an ultimate version of the game's most important theme music. 9 out of 10. Doesn't make 10 because it doesn't do anything really unique with the music - just does it really well.

7 - Middle Boss battle - I wish the regular boss battle had been remixed, too, but I'll make do. That being said, this is excellent, and keeps up the pattern of taking rather forgettable music excellent. I'll give it an 8, because 9's and 10's have to be special. Still good, though.

8 - Temple of Time - the background vocals are great, but the main one (to the actual tune of the Song of Time - you know, C-Down, A, C-Up, repeat) doesn't do it for me - it sounds too much like the game's...that is, it doesn't sound like real people. You can tell by the change from note to note (though when the notes are held, they sound convincing). Ignore that, and it's fine - did I mention the background vocals are fantastic? 6 out of 10.

9 - Kotake and Koume's theme - good overall, but this track commits the almost criminal offense of not including the original's opening music - the one that accompanies the two witches laughing. How could they miss that!? Still, the rest of the rendition is excellent and blah blah blah, but without that opener, I'd have preferred something like the Gerudo theme instead. 7 out of 10.

10 - Hyrule Field - wonderful. Simply wonderful. The original was good, but not all that memorable (I remember people lamenting the lack of the usual Zelda overworld theme), but this changes all that. Takes the original and makes it spectacular. The violins, the saxophone at the end (don't quote me on that, I know squat about music) - beautiful. 10, no question. Also gets my vote for "Best on CD".

11 - Great Fairy's Fountain - it's all right, but I can't think of anything to really recommend it with. It's hardly any different from the game's, to be honest. And despite being classic Zelda, it's kind of boring at this length. I would've preferred a more ambitious attempt on a different track, like say the Forest Temple music (with lots of drums) or maybe a long version of the Bolero of Fire (personal favorites of mine). 5 out of 10 - I usually skip this one.

12 - Last Battle - I won't be as generous as some with this one, but I can't deny that it's an excellent rendition. Would've been perfect for the game itself - it's climactic, epic, and tense, just like a final battle should be. The only reason I don't score it higher is because, for a actual standalone music track, it's really long and doesn't really go anywhere - it remains fairly constant, without especially building up to anything. It's best as background music when you're doing something else (maybe fighting off evil sorceror beasts). 8 out of 10.

Overall, on my personal scale (not an average), I'll give this CD a 9 out of 10. The Hyrule Field and Shop tunes make everything worthwhile, and despite my saying that, it's not like they're really compensating for anything bad to start with. Some tracks are very similar to the originals, others less so, but they're excellent, all in all. Highly recommended for Zelda fans, especially those that appreciate techno/dance music, since they're more likely to share my tastes.

2 out of 5 stars A few great tracks, but most of them...aren't.......2003-12-02

There are a couple of gems on this cd, but I don't like most of the songs. The majority of them are low-mid quality techno arrangements of songs that sounded just fine the way they were.

There are a few songs of noteworthy concern. The Lon-Lon Ranch has Japanese vocals in it, providing an interesting experience. I didn't really like it, but some people might. The Temple of Time is completely vocal(no words, just sounds and wordless chanting), but you can tell that it is just a bunch of recorded sounds edited together rather than people singing, and it ends up sounding very tacky.

The Great Fairy's Fountain is ok, but sounds very similar to the original track.

There are only three songs that I like on this cd, and I consider them to be excellent pieces. The Hyrule Main Theme captures the adventurous and upbeat spirit of the original and successfuly takes it in a new direction, adding some light jazz, percussion, and string instruments. Very fun to listen to. Zelda's Theme(track 6) is a slow, beautiful arrangement of the Song of Time, played by an actual ocarina and backed up by soft chimes and violins. The Last Battle theme is unarguably the best song on here, capturing the intensity and tension of the last battle with Ganon while at the same time expanding on the original theme.

If you can buy a used copy on here or ebay, those 3 songs are worth it. But don't pay full price for this cd. It isn't worth it.

5 out of 5 stars BEST GAME MUSIC CD EVER.......2003-10-28

I have both Ocarina of Time soundtracks: the original game soundtrack, and this new rearrranged music. After hearing this CD, I have a new respect for video game music. Best game music EVER!

5 out of 5 stars Don't miss out on this awesome CD!!.......2001-05-13

The very first thing I wish to note about this CD is that it is NOT the original soundtrack to Ocarina of Time. It consists of certain tracks taken from the original soundtrack which have been remixed by an artist known as MOKA. That being said, here's my review:

I can hardly describe just how well MOKA's variations compliment Kondo's fantastic compositions, while still managing to stay surprisingly true to the originals. At first the music is slightly alienating because it initially seems so different from the original music, but the more you listen to it, the better and better it sounds! These remixes are unforgettable and will quickly end up among your favorites. Listen with headphones and it's like hearing it for the first time all over again. Reeeeally nice....

The lyrics to Epona's Song are printed (in Japanese) in the enclosed booklet. Here is the elaborated English translation:

Epona, Epona (Epona, Epona)
Come close (Sobanioide)
Together the two of us (Futari de ireba)
Won't be sad (Kanashi ku nankanai)
So I say (Dakara)
Epona (Epona)
Come here, come to me (Koko ni ite)
You are the one (Omae dakeba)
I will protect (Mama deageru)

This is the way I remember it (Koshite iru to omoidasu)
That day's dawn (Ano hino yoake)
The moon was going down (Tsuki ga shizu mi)
The sun was coming up (Taiyou to)
And then you were born (Omae ga umaneta)

Epona, Epona (Epona, Epona)
Come close (Sobanioide)
Together the two of us (Futari de ireba)
Won't be sad (Kanashikunankanai)
So I say (Dakara)
Epona (Epona)
Come here (Koko ni ite)
My song (Watashi no uta wa)
Listen to it (Kiiteite ne)

This is how I remember it (Koushiteiruto omoidasu)
Back in the day (Ano kudano koto)
I think that for your sake my mother (Omae no tameni kaasan ga)
Made this song (Yukuta kono uta)

Tu lu lu, tu lu lu
Tu lu lu lu lu
Together the two of us (Futari de ireba)
Won't be sad (Kanashi ku nankanai)

Tu lu lu, tu lu lu
Tu lu lu lu lu
Don't forget (Wasurenaidene)
This song (Kono uta)
This song (Kono uta)

The only downfall I can think of to this album is that Malon sounds a little too old--but certainly nothing that'd cause it to lose any stars. I highly, highly recommend adding this CD to your collection. You'll be glad you did!

Lil Romeo is by far the worst rapper in the history of hip hop. Thank God though that everyone knows that execpt the little kids who buy his crappy albums. This is the kind of music that 6 year olds listen to. Real rap fans don't buy this garbage. I don't recomend this to anyone. This kid makes MC Hammer look like Big Pun. Hell I'd much rather listen to Hammer than this bubblegum trash.

1 out of 5 stars Earlier review explained my sons favs.......2004-12-23

My son LOVES Chingy, 50 Cent, and Nelly, though I don't listen to rap, as I listen to AC. Even if I listen to a completely different genre of music, I know Lil' Romeo is a horrible rapper, because I know Nelly and Lil' Bow Wow are better because I've listened to both from my son and Lil' Romeo is horrible! My teenage son hates Lil' Romeo too!

5 out of 5 stars Yes, the 2nd best CD evuh, better than Powerballin!!!!!!.......2004-12-23

OMG another mastapiece from my boy Romeo!!! This time it doesnt have any oh-so-sad songs that I love, but thats aiight since I luv partying better!!!!!! 2 Way is tied with Right Thurr as the best song evuh!!!!! Master P sucks but at least he has the most talanted young son of a rappa a guy could have!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure to add this to ya x-mas list, along with both Chingy albums, 50 Cent Get Rich Or Die Tryin & Nelly Nellyville!!!!!!!!!! YAY, THE BEST ALBUMS EVUH!

5 out of 5 stars LITTLE ONE LOVES IT!.......2004-12-02

My little 5 year old wanted Romeo's cd last year and after sampling it I bought it. He absolutely loves it! He raps along and everything. I think that it is nice to have rap music that will entertain the little ones also. Thanks Romeo.

1 out of 5 stars The most sarcastic review ever........2004-11-07

OMG I love Lil' Romeo! His beats are so big and hot. He is one of the biggest rappers on the Billboard Charts right now. He's so cool, I can sit at the cool and hip table at my school! Holy crap! So good. I'm recommending everyone to buy this. Best CD ever. Oh yeah, I love his TV show. Finally, a show that's not stupid or gross or for 2 year olds. Seriously, you'll love Lil'Romeo.


And that's why you should buy.
