Time Capsule.......2006-11-30

The voices and instruments, like the songs, are straight from the mid-19th century. If you want to be transported back in time 150 years to a wonderful parlor performance of Foster's songs, this is the album to do it. The voices are marvelous and trained, and one must imagine that the strict phrasing and style are what one would have expected at the time. The cheap upright piano is perfect.

But the one perfect moment for me is the ONLY good extant rendition of "Was My Brother in the Battle?". Accompanied on a harmonium or pump reed organ, if this song doesn't tempt a tear, you simply aren't a romantic.

Very highly recommended.

Unexpected.......2005-11-26

Quality of this recording is fantastic! Performances are superb! However, they don't fit being an example of Foster's music and times. I was expecting banjos and a Mississippi Sound - therfore, very, very disappointed in this CD and consider and a waste of money. Be sure to LISTEN to a few examples to match what you are looking for and what the CD offers. I, unfortunately did not listen before I bought. I rate this low only because my expectations were shattered. This IS a fine CD if opera styles are ok for an example of this southern, 1800's composer's work.

An album to treasure.......2004-09-23

The landmark Library of Congress album, now on enhanced CD. Years
ago, I went on a six-months field assignment to a remote area of
Africa, where I could take only what music I could carry in a vest
pocket. I chose a tape player and two albums: a recital by Perlman
and this album on tape, and was content. If you love American
music, sung poetry, beautiful singing and deeply moving musicality,
this is an album you will treasure for a lifetime.

A classic recording of American songs.......2004-08-22

What can I say that hasn't already been said below? I only wanted to reiterate how wonderful this album is and assure the reader the sound is spectacular on CD. This is a live recording, and intentionally so, as the idea was to create a "parlor" experience as these were parlor songs to be sung by family and friends around the old upright piano. I especially liked the comment about the upright piano which, indeed, does croak and clank throughout the performance adding a note of "authenticity" without becoming obtrusive.

If only Ms. DeGaetani had graced my parlor...

The sessions of sweet silent thought stirred.......2003-11-22

I have never heard such unadulterated extraworldy sound emanate from two human voices and what would otherwise be firewood (the period instruments played by Gilbert Kalish). It stirs profound patriotism and a deep sentimentality for our early days when a civilized people pined to find virtue by examining its own body-- the north and the south, the small town, the simple flag, and the beauty of gentile manly and womanly love expressed through equisite song. There is no other music I would rather hear 'when summoning up the remembrance of things past.' The ghost of the early American parlor will prick your skin through these simple hymns and you may escape for a moment our troubled and busy times.

Brian Hughes first, and his best at that!!.......2005-01-20

Unbelievably, his first release is considered his greatest accomplishment.His first most memorable song here would be "Over And Over"!That song is very memorable and is very relaxing with a little bit of western influence, but just a little short on the jazz and a spice of fusion."May Dance" is what Brian Hughes is about.That song is so good and it has been described as "Jazz meets folk music"!Now, maybe one of his greatest accomplishments of all time, and my personal favorite song "Deux Cafe" is probably the most memorable songs on this cd, it is his trademark sgnature song and it is very fusion-like.Look, my advice is to get this cd, forget pat metheny, this is Brian Hughes we are talking about, Pat Metheny is 200 years old already, this is the real deal, its time to evolve, forget metheny, just erase it out of your mind, and replace it with fusion guitarist Brian Hughes, and trust me, youll thank me later!!!

Great jazz guitar CD!!.......2004-12-26

I have heard a lot of jazz guitar and I have to say that after hearing this CD... it's one of the best in the genre! Brian Hughes does sound like Pat Metheny except for the tracks listed below.

1. ...And Dreaming
2. May Dance
3. Promise You (A really great tune!)
4. Over and Over

You won't be disapointed with this CD! Don't miss it!!

Pat Metheny's Brother.......2004-08-23

If You listen to Pat Metheny he is the greatest musican around but watch out because his brother brian hughes is even better. There music is so similar you just have to call them related. Promise You is the true key I would like to see both of these guys on stage together plus Mike Metheny on Trumpet.

"Still Life Talking" Reprise.......2003-11-08

The comparisons to late '80s Metheny are right on. Actually, this CD was originally released in 1990 (not 1996). This little-known, underrated guitarist from Canada is a model of consistency. I had the good fortune of seeing him live in Niagara a few years ago. While I'll agree Metheny has evolved and is, overall, more versatile as a musician, I preferred his late '80s efforts. Fortunately, late '80s Metheny is Brian Hughes, and he has not deviated from this style. "Promise You" is a smooth jazz and Weather Channel standard from the early '90s, and is the finest track on the CD. His guitar work on "...And Dreaming" is vibrant and vintage '80s Metheny. If you like this sound, check out Brian's follow-ups "Straight To You" and "One 2 One."

Pat Metheny ? Or Brian who?.......2000-07-25

What you dont understand Bob is that Pat Metheny only experimented with Brazilian Jazz flavors for a while during the 80s when it was hip. But Pat Metheny made it hip. Someone with Pat methenys geinus has to keep on moving and changing and trying new things. Pat metheny Evolves. Brian hughes stands still.

Breathtaking.......2007-02-03

I've never heard of Shanti Shanti until I heard Celtic Saraswati on the music channel: Soundscapes on Cable. I was hunting for some violin pieces on different music genres.

When I switched to Soundscapes for new age/world music/folk, I then heard an enchanting violin piece: Celtic Saraswati. Searched Amazon, Bought the CD. What a breath of fresh air. I love the mellow sound of Vedic Lullaby and the upbeat Language of the Gods. The track that was unusual, yet unique was Dreaming in Real Time.

If you want to explore your music world, Shanti Shanti should be one of your stops.

Another beautiful hit.......2006-11-23

I have been a fan of this group (two sisters) for some time. Their music is different and breath taking. I enjoy listening to the sanskirt and now realize why it is considered the mother tongue for most of the languages of today.

WOW!!.......2004-01-09

I just recently purchased this album. It is absolutely wonderful! There is a lot of vibration raising energy here. If you are reading this review, go ahead and purchase the album. You will not regret your decision.

Seems like only yesterday the Kronos Quartet stepped up their career as musical mavericks with a coveted, wide-open contract with Nonesuch Records. Now it's Nonesuch's turn to give Kronos the big-package nod, gathering key works recorded by the group--from younger composers and time-tested veterans alike--into this 10-CD box set. As one might expect, the set is stuffed with contrasts, from the first CD, with its 11-part, upstepping John Adams suite and then the far more solemn Missa Syllabica from Arvo Pärt. Nearly 20 of these pieces here were composed expressly for Kronos, pitched and sculpted for their easily-racked mixture of straightforward string quartet roles and intelligently restructured approaches to the even the simplest gestures. Perhaps most key here is George Crumb's Black Angels, in large part due to Crumb's role in inspiring David Harrington to form Kronos 25 years ago. Crumb's music spirals and chases through the air, engaging high pitches and fast pacings as if they were ends in themselves. Gone from this set are most of the short snippets that have filled some of Kronos's other fine single CD recordings. In abundance instead are some of the legendary works: Morton Feldman's long, endlessly patient Piano and String Quartet (with Aki Takahashi), Steve Reich's unnerving Different Trains, and Henryk Górecki's String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2. There are also some of the astounding Eastern European works from Night Prayers as well, including the stunning Quartet No. 4 from Sofia Gubaidulina. And of course there are the Kronos biggie pieces: Philip Glass's works fill one CD, and so do Terry Riley's. What's more, Riley's Cadenza on the Night Plain and "G Song" are presented here in entirely fresh, new recordings. What the listener gets is a huge block of music, full of shifting colors and textures but perfectly apt in giving a wide-angle vantage on what Kronos has done for contemporary music. --Andrew Bartlett

A worthwhile investment.......2003-10-06

It would be an understatement to say that this is a fabulous box set. All 10 CDs are packed with some fabulous music that beautifull highlights the first 25 years of the Kronos Quartet, and the booklet included provides a great history of the group as well as nice blurbs on the composers and their pieces.

Equally nice about the box set is the inclusion of multiple new recordings, thus making this a worthwhile investment for fans. The Peter Sculthorpe Quartets are a particularly nice addition, as are the added Piazzolla, Part, and Riley compositions.

Along with this, the "classic" Kronos recordings are all here: "Black Angels" "Different Trains" "Salome Dances for Peace" (well, exceprts), and Feldman's Piano and String Quartet. Of particular note, I think is the inclusion of Gubaidulina's Quartet No 4, a fabulous recording that is otherwise hidden in Kronos' recording "Night Prayers."

Yes, this is quite an investment, but I firmly believe that it's worth it - longtime fans and newcomers alike have a lot to gain from this collection.

Excelent compilation!.......2001-09-09

I like more classic period, like Hayden, but Cronos does it very well, technicaly excelent. The ten sets are wonderful recordings and the selection is unique. It deserves the investment, If you buy it, youre going to have more than ten hours of joy.

Amazingly Now Retrospective.......2001-06-26

Since their youthful start in the NW back in the 70's, Kronos has collaborated with, commissioned, or just played such a breadth of musicians it almost seems that breadth - and especially non western world culture - is their mission. But, while this conservatively and esthetically designed 25-yr-retrospective box (with its increasingly sophisticated photo-portraits) belies the pulsation of social angst and conscience that underlies the bulk of the inclusions, the latter concern, its vitality and relevance - and not some stylish chasing after cultural breadth - is what overtakes the listener/reader, rather soon. I say reader, since the booklet is very helpful, especially to the relative novice, and well balanced in its coverage of composers, historical contexts, performers, individual texts, etc.

There are probably more non contemporaries performed by the Quartet over the years than this selection would indicate. That undercuts their ties with the sense of revolution in music throughout the ages, but it leaves more time for the present: and that is where one expects the group wishes to be, is most contributory and challenged, and is best and most fairly judged. Highly recommended, both for those who know Kronos's work well and wish a handsome tribute on their shelf, and for those who do not but are open and ready to be affected, whether impacted esthetically, reminded socio-morally, or whatever combination of both befits.

How Could You Not Listen?.......1998-12-19

My opinion pales when compared to this CD. Indeed the group's ingeniousness, its knowing and its balls are in full display here, hopefully to put to rest any lingering contention that there is little more to Kronos than form. To any person who accepts the merits of 20th-century music, this CD presents the genius of our culture and teaches that daring and ingenuity do not have to be sacrificed on the road to technical brilliance. My only regret is that the CD does not include Kronos's interpretation of Bartok. But, so what? Górecki's here, as are Part and Benshoof. Listen to this CD -- soar and struggle with it.

Good for help to know up-to-date contemporaly music.......1998-11-28

The Kronos Quartet has released many albums. There let us see what the quartet has tried new titles and arrenges in each period. But this is the best set for understand the quartet as summary of thier works. The CDs are distributed by each composers and we can see thier identities easily.Unfortunately this dose not include all but be enough to see what the quartet has been.I hope that every classical music fans(not only contemporaly music fans) listen this CDs.

Triple shot of prime Waylon.......2005-10-14

BMG U.K.'s 2-disc set pulls together three prime Jennings LPs: 1974's "This Time" and "The Ramblin' Man" and 1975's "Dreaming My Dreams." Though he'd recorded fine albums before, and would record more in following years, this triple-shot represents the core of Jennings time as an outlaw country artist, and an unmatched trifecta. "This Time" has a slightly muted energy, almost as if Jennings was taking a breath between the outburst of "Honky Tonk Heroes" and the pair of albums that would follow. This is the most soulful and introspective mood Jennings ever got down on record, and the presence of Willie Nelson (as writer of four songs, co-producer and electric guitarist) is strongly felt throughout.

"The Ramblin' Man" expands on the unruly outlaw spark of "Honky Tonk Heroes," and the follow-on "Dreaming My Dreams" combines the best aspects of its predecessors - both irascible and soulful. This third LP is the most eclectic of the lot, ranging from Jennings' hardcore country anthems ("Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way?" "Bob Wills is Still the King") to the Jack Clement scored strings of the title tune. Ralph Mooney's fine steel playing is heard throughout all three albums, each of which is filled with hits and equally worthy album sides.

This double-CD also includes most of the bonus tracks that appeared on BMG's U.S. reissues, including the five tracks recorded in 1973 with Jerry Allison and Sonny Curtis of the Crickets. Completists might opt for the individual CDs (specifically to get two more bonus tracks: "All Around Cowboy" and "Ride Me Down Easy"), but you'd be hard to beat this collection's triple-shot of prime Jennings, complete with detailed liner notes and credits and several choice photos.

Perfect introduction to Waylon and acquire these albums.......2004-07-20

I'm a slow convert to a country fan. I bought my first Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline record probably six years ago. I only came around to the Outlaw stuff recently. My loss. These Waylon Jennings albums aren't so different from some of the more country leaning rock albums of the time. Waylon had an amazing voice and was a great interpreter of songs, he also is one of the few country stars who should be heard on an album to album basis, rather than singles. Here are three of finest from the classic Outlaw period bundled together for a good price.

This Time is probably the mellowest of three, and features several great takes on Willie Nelson songs. Its an indisputable classic. Dreaming My Dreams is equally revered and perhaps Jennings' most avowedly Outlaw leaning album. Finally, Ramblin' Man is the most outwardly rockingly and grandiose. It doesn't tend to get quite the accolades of the other two but to me is every bit as good. On it as polar opposites is one the finest uptempo Country songs (Rainy Day Woman) and the most heartbreaking ballad (Amanda).

Its also important that this "boxed set" is merely a package of the three albums as they're not haphazardly thrown on two CDs, brekaing up the flow. Finally, the bonus tracks scattered across the albums gives one an idea of just how diverse of music Waylong was putting out during this period. If you're going to become a Waylon you're going to need all of thse albums eventually. This is the most efficient way to do it. Essential.

Waylon from 1973 to 1975.......2003-04-05

This double-CD is made up of three original albums, plus some tracks that were recorded but never released, most of which were Buddy Holly covers. Some of these eventually appeared in a medley on another Waylon album, I've always been crazy.

The first album, This time, shows a strong Willie Nelson influence. Willie wrote four of the songs (Pick up the tempo, Heaven or hell, It's not supposed to be that way and Walkin'), while he has also recorded at least two of the others (Slow moving outlaw and If you could touch her at all). The title track provided Waylon with his first number one country hit.

The second album, Rambling man, contains some interesting songs, especially Midnight rider (a cover of a Gregg Allman songs) and Amanda (first recorded by Don Williams), a song that eventually became a country number one when it was released as a single several years later in 1979. In 1974, I'm a rambling man was Waylon's second country number one, while Rainy day women (written by Waylon himself) just missed out, peaking at number two. Other notable songs such as Oklahoma sunshine, Cloudy days, It'll be her and The hunger make this one of Waylon's finest albums ever.

The third album, Dreaming my dreams, is another high-quality album. You might even prefer it to Rambling man, but in any case, there's not much to choose between them for quality. Although the title track was a top ten country hit, the album's most famous songs are the two odes to past legends - Are you sure Hank done it this way (a country number one) and Bob Wills is still the king. Also worthy of mention are I recall a gypsy woman (originally a British top 20 pop hit for Don Williams, but not released as a single in America), The door is always open (a country number one for Dave and Sugar) and Let's turn back the years (an obscure Hank Williams song).

So, this collection brings together three of Waylon's finest albums and several previously unreleased tracks. If you are unfamiliar with Waylon's music, you might be better to buy RCA country legends, a double-CD containing all his big hits, but for those wanting to buy his original albums, it doesn't get any better than this.

Beautiful.......2006-12-02

The music on this CD is absolutely lovely. It makes you feel like you're in a cozy cabin in the Alps. The instrumentals are excellent as are the voices. Excellent CD.

Lovely album!!!!.......2005-11-07

For those of us who are willing to listen to music far from popular tastes , this is a lovely cd. This could be likened to a christmas card in sound.All the songs have an indescribable charm and brings to mind images of how christmases must have been far from our concrete canyons in the beautiful alpine countryside.It is a shame that so few copies are available but if you are wondering whether to buy it, by all means do try to buy it.

Relying upon many handmade, primitive musical instruments, Hawk gratefully draws from the ancient wisdom and beauty of cultures from all over the world: from the gentle, melodious tones of the Native American flute found throughout the CD; to the fun-filled Island tune - Kokopelli Jamboree; to the deeply primal sounds of the Australian Didgeridoo as heard in the The Ancient Ones; to the subtle rhythms of the clay UDU drum, found in Udu You Think You Are, this album delivers from start to finish!
