Absolutely Pure & Beautiful.......2005-10-31

If you buy no other classical music, buy this collection. CD 1 (Relax) is perfect for dinner, quiet entertaining or just soft music while you're working. From "Come Away With Me", to "Whiter Shade of Pale" to "Knights in White Satin"... each piece is it's own movement - and moved you will be... Perfect for a romantic evening. CD2 is more robust, but equally entertaining. "Layla", "Livin On A Prayer", Stairway to Heaven", "Run to You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" - you owe it to yourself to hear these licks performed by the RPO.

Symphonic Rock.......2005-07-25

It really isn't rock, but it is a very pleasant presentation of popular music, rendered in creative ways by a full symphony orchestra. It sounds like the orchestra had a great time making these CD's.

pleasant easy listening.......2005-07-19

It's not extremely interesting music, but nice background, relaxing and pleasant with full orchestra. Not a bad buy at all!

Excellent CD.......2005-03-20

I received this as a present and at first I wasn't sure if I would like it because I don't like some of the original songs, but there's something about hearing the orchestra play that makes me like all of them. Just try it out.

well, if you like elevator music then you should get this cd. if not then dont waste your time, its lame. big time lame. just listen to the audio samples im so glad i didn't waste my money on this piece of crap.

Old Fashioned Sincerity.......2006-12-30

This is not the best recording of Messiah but it is by no means a disaster. Susskind was an able conductor with a valid view of this great piece. The recording from the 1950s is more than adequate (there is some roughness in the treble but it is full and clear - though some edits are very obvious indeed). The orchestra is excellent and the choir sing well. The soloists - all of them - are superb, among the very best in any version of Messiah! Susskind's tempos are slow by modern standards but there is good rhythmical bounce and a genuine sense of the greatness of the piece. If you can adjust to the broad tempos and the big scale conception then you will discover important aspects of this masterpiece in this performance - and the set costs next to nothing!

One of the worst recordings ever made.......2006-05-10

This is only my second one star review. And I am rather generous with stars. But this recording is just horrible, especially considering that all of the participants are legendary musicians. First of all, this is extremely old fashioned Handel. The textures are way too heavy for music of the baroque. But worst of all, the performance just sits there like mud on your tires that won't come off. Yes, the price is very low, but whatever you do, do not buy this recording.

Pete's Dad.......2005-12-11

I have had a CD of the London Philharmonic version of the Messiah conducted by Fredrick Jackson for several years and enjoyed listening to it. However, the quality of the recording leaves something to be desired.

Good Covers Of Druggie Tunes.......2007-03-17

Way back in 1989, the Make A Difference Foundation convinced some (at the time) prominent hair metal and hard rock bands to cover some of their favorite rock songs from bands who had members die due to drug use. Money raised from the project would then be used by the foundation to fight drug addiction. It was a great idea at the time but it's funny that many of the bands on this album were actively using drugs at the time.

None of the covers are that bad. The best songs, in my opinion, include Gorky Park's "My Generation," the Scorpion's "I Can't Explain," and Ozzy's "Purple Haze." Cinderella's version of Janis Joplin's "Move Over" is also excellent. Other bands on the album include Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and Skid Row. There's also a drummer's delight in "Drum Madness" and highlights from a Moscow music festival.

Overall, it's not a shabby album. The live performances are pretty forgettable, but the album's other tunes are worthy of multiple listenings. If you really love hair metal and hard rock like I do, you'll be just fine purchasing this album.

A once hard to find title now easily available!.......2006-05-10

Yep, back in the day - well, pretty much straight after it's release - this was darn hard to get hold of. But now the wonders of the internet blah blah blah allow you to get your your hands on your own copy of this little gem.

But don't get too excited over it just yet. Since nobody else has reviewed the plain jane, non import version of this release, I'll give you a track by track synopsis.

Gorky Park - a bunch of Russians from memory cleaned up and passed off as some sort of 80's hair metal band. These boys were probably totally wide eyed at even getting a look in - some might have expected the Russian band Autograph to get the nod. But luckily for Gorky Park they sang in English. Here they do a take of My Generation. During the late 80's cold war whether they got the irony of this choice is unknown to me. They don't do a bad job if it though Who fans may roll in their graves.

Skid Row - These boys were on a high at the time and give us a rousing rendition of Holidays in the Sun, Sebastian Bach having the right amount of middle finger pull off the trick of taking this track from silly to kicking butt.

Scorpions - Can't Explain. The Scorps deliver here, in fact this track seems to suit them and by keeping it to a somewhat subdued delivery, they actually produce a better result that if they'd blazed away. It's even made 'best of' collections by the Scorps over the years.

Ozzy Osbourne - Yep, the Prince of Darkness was actually better known for his music and weird antics back when this was recorded, as opposed to being on a reality TV style show. Of course his vocals are totally different to Jimmy Hendrix but this track works, weirdly enough.

Motley Crue - A remarkably dumb band. And a fairly lacklustre run through of this cover tune. Any Crue completists out there thinking of buying this album for this track should really think again.

Bon Jovi - BJ were given some hassle even at the time for being particularly unadventurous. So to hear them do a Thin Lizzy track, well it's kinda different. They actually managed to give it 'the old college try', but it's still a fairly average track.

Cinderella - Move Over, the track Cinderella contributed to this exercise, is totally forgettable. In my personal opinion the original wasn't worth much, and their version of it is pretty poor. Avoid.

Drum Madness - By this stage of the disc, if your still listening you'll actually be hearing... well nothing much of worth.

Jam - the jam session at the end isn't bad as it allows us to see our heroes in full flight doing a weird medley of stuff, namely Hound Dog, Long Tall Sally and Blue Suede Shoes. Not my personal faves perhaps, but it's certainly a fun way of bringing the album to a close.

Overall fans of this era should probably buy this disc, it's a kinda cool recorded document to have in your collection. But as there are only a few great tracks on it, you won't find it life changing or anything like that. But turn your brain off and drift away to those halcyon days of the late 80's. And remember, this product was all done in a good cause, so that's gotta be worth something too.

Finally a Messiah with fervor!.......2005-10-20

I've hunted a thrilling performance of The Messiah through 240 versions so far. This is the best I've found. Some are self-conscious, dutifully singing as instructed. Some are almost childish in their lilt. Some are overblown with so much bombast that you can barely hear the heart of the music. Some are concentrated on faithfulness to the original instruments. If you want a performance that will make you shiver with the power and joy of the music, this is the one. The singers are singing about GLORY. They sound as if they are ecstatic. The musicians are at one with the music and they create a virtual cathedral wherever this CD is played, just close your eyes. Or, let your own imagery, be it celestial, or of great oceans...carry you away.

Great recording!.......2003-09-22

There are so many performances of the Messiah out there that it is very difficult to point to a difinative one, but I'd put this in the catagory of the "very good" ones. As other reviewers have said, every performance is different and has its own character. Each has stronger and weaker points. Here the conductor and musicians have made good, solid musical choices. There is an amazing attention to detail which is not so obvious the first listen through but which makes the piece shine. The tempos seem to be right on, and there is no frivolous over-embellishment by the soloists. There is no attempt to be showey. The dramatic dynamics in the first section of the overture are interesting, but seem to work after you hear it a few times. This performance also includes sections which are often omitted (Second half of "He shall feed his flock," "Thou art gone up on high," "Great was the company of the preachers," and "Death where is thy sting"). I prefer the more intimate quality of a small ensemble of musicians to the mega-performances by the London Philharmonic, Vienna State Opera Orchestra, etc.. As with this performance, the smaller group lends a clarity to the music, where the larger ensembles can get a little "muddy" at times. Just my personal preference. Overall, this is a very good performance, and certainly the low price (being on the Naxos lable) makes this a clear choice.

Good and Bad.......2000-04-09

I was more interested in "The Messiah" for the religious content than as a music critic, but this was too much. The strings are tinny. The orchestra is plodding. The soloists and choir are thankfully very good and seem to understand the meaning of the words. It is a shame the sound mix is uneven. The male parts come across loud and clear, but the poor women. For instance, No. 9 Oh thou that tellest..., the soloist sounded like she was singing in an echo chamber far from the mike. This is one of the most disappointing versions of "The Messiah" I have heard in a long time.

This is a great recording!.......2000-02-11

I was really surprised with the new that the Messiah's New World premiere was held at Trinity Church in October 1770, twenty-eight years after it was written. This fact only will make one proud in having this CD among his collection.

Anyhow, this is nothing more than a historic detail and would not count if this recording had not an outstanding first-rate ensemble of singers. Without doubt there is no definitive version of Messiah. Each one has its own distinctive touch and feeling and exploring it is always a pleasant journey through imagination.

As stated by the conductor: "we must concede that performing Messiah with twenty singers and an appropriately balanced instrumental ensemble represents, at best, an imperfect comprimise", it will be easy to understand that this recording does not stand among the greatest and will probably carry some imperfections. I will mention two that kind of disppointed me a little bit. The Overture and the Chorus Worthy is the Lamb, for some reason misses the habitual vigor and strenght. Everything else is great and this is definitely a worth buying.

OZZY, SCORPIONS, MOTLEY CRUE, CINDERELLA - 'NUF SAID!.......2005-04-14

This is a really unique CD. It's got all the great 80's Metal bands set loose to belt out their favorite tunes. A great way to see another side of these guys and to get a feel for what influenced them when they were young and aspiring Headbangers. Some of their picks surprised me. I HAD to buy this so I could have every recording by OZZY. (I even have his funky "Shake Your Head" with Was (not Was) and his duet with Miss Piggy on "Kermit Unpigged".) His choice of "Purple Haze" on this CD was interesting. He nailed it as only Ozzy could. By the way, the correct title is, "Stairway to Heaven/Highway to Hell". Every Headbanger should have it!

Strange interpretation of "classical".......2005-01-17

I bought this CD because it contained some songs I was having a hard time finding elsewhere, such as Passo pel prat, Chants d'Auvergne sung by Fredrica Von Stade. However, some of the songs on this CD do not seem to belong e.g. all three songs by John Williams, Mack the Knife, Barbra Streisand, and the Psycho Murder Theme for starters, and many more.

I gave the CD 4 stars only because I was happy that I was able to find a few somewhat rare tracks.

An interesting mix..........2002-05-18

This is a sampler in the truest meaning of the word. I bought this 4 CD work primarly for two tracks, but also because I was interested to see what else was out there without investing a fortune in CD's I wouldn't like! I was surprised by the wide diversity of music ranging from true classical and jazz to contemporary compositions and interpretations.

While I find some tracks divine (Williams's _Schindler's List_), I find other tracks unsettling (_Beau Soir_ performed by Barbra Streisand). But when you are trying to span 100 years of music, you will (and should) encounter all tastes and styles. Overall, I really enjoy listening to this set. My only regret is that I don't have a CD changer...

A touch of history...........2002-01-28

An exceptional set. The history of music making of the 20th century in 4 CDs. Even from the first track with Giuseppe Campanari and Charles Adams Prince you can see that people put much time in collecting the best interpretations and putting together an amazing collection. Other highlights include the "Mack The Knife" with Lotte Lenya, the Bachiana Brasileiras, The Fanfare For The Common Man with LSO conducted by the composer and so many more. An undespiuted *****

Three tracks stand out; the rest are o.k........2006-07-08

This provides a sonic snapshot of indie British/US "college radio" bands circa the late 80s covering VU tunes, and not only those played to death. The best three: Lady Godiva's Operation via Chapterhouse manages to lessen the jarringly phased vocals of the original while keeping the swirling backing intact and adds a gauzy shoegazing texture to the tune to bring out its melody more than the rawer original. Nirvana (I think this came out before they hit it big; the album gives no date but Kur[d]t's hair's longer!) as they would later show their skill with covers so earlier they here give an earnest Here She Comes Now that picks up the insistent tone of the original and amplifies the nagging effect well! The last cut, Ride doing European Son, is my favorite. They dive into this challenging piece and as would be expected provide lots of depth and texture within which to roam and stretch out the tune.

None of the other cuts are less than acceptable, but they do not give the individual spark that enlivens the songs; they repeat the originals appropriately if less memorably. Those by James, The Wedding Present, Screaming Trees all satisfy, but mimic too closely the original vibes to stand out on their own.

Motorcycle Boy, Terry Bickers, and The Telescopes all muddle along unwilling to swim away from the wake left by the original VU songs, and they simply float or drift along for awhile. The weakest track: Buffalo Tom's All Tomorrow's Parties, which drags out into hoarse yelling and ruins the climactic thrust of the tune. These versions do not inject enough imagination into their renditions--a fault of many covers/tributes here proven sadly again: why do so many artists only imitate the original when they can re-interpret it?

Apparently now a rare album, I doubt that it's worth what's being asked for it used, but as I said, the three tracks recommended remain vibrant, and are worth hunting down on their own. By the way, no liner notes, only promo photos of each band, and apparently done on the cheap. (The follow-up vol. 2 covers Lou Reed solo songs with less success.)

Fine Velvet Underground tribute album. Well known Velvet songs recorded by excellent bands. This is the first of three volumes "Heaven And Hell". Most I like "Candy Says" by The Telescopes, "Here She Comes Now" by Nirvana, "Sunday Morning" by James, "Run, Run, Run" by Motorcyle Boy and "European Son" by Ride.
