5 out of 5 stars Successful crossing over from East to West.......2007-07-06

Nowadays many classical musicians move to 'cross-overs' between Western classics to exotic works, and Chinese musicians and composers pioneer in cross-overs from Chinese music to Western.
Alas, not all attempts are successful. Either there has not been enough nurturing in the Chinese repertoire, or the western playing style has not yet been fully developed.
Ms. Yang is a young classical guitarist. Gathering from what she said in her own introduction to this disc, she is a musician with a great ambition. It is true that the classical guitar may not have a substantial repertoire as other western instruments like the violin and piano. Hence drawing materials from other culture in a guitarist's repertoire is both a necessity and an endeavour.
A guitarist from Beijing, Ms. Yang is familiar with classical Chinese instruments like the gu qin, the zheng and the pipa. These ancient Chinese instruments are like the guitar- all are played by plucking strings set on wooden surfaces. So as Ms Yang herself noted - the guitar originated from the Middle East, a 'cross-over' area of Eastern and Western culture.
In many of the modern works recorded in this disc, Ms Yang played the guitar to the effect of those ancient Chinese instruments, and this is quite stunning. Her familiarity with the Eastern musical style is fully demonstrated, adding the requisite flavour of authenticity to her interpretation. There are a number of great compositions of the gu qing, the zheng as well as the pipa, and I truly look forward to Ms Yang's transcriptions of those to the guitar in due course.
A highly recommended recording for guitar players, guitar lovers and Chinese music fans alike.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best solo guitar albums I have ever heard.......2006-10-06

One of the most original CDs I've ever heard. This CD is full of incredible music. Yang XueFei plays with sensitivity, creativity and passion.
When I played this CD for my guitar teacher, he commented that it was rare for him not to have heard at least one piece on any particular classical guitar CD, yet all these pieces were new to him. Carlo Domeniconi (who wrote the masterpiece "Koyunbaba") has composed an outstanding suite based on the I Ching. The 3 pieces by Stephen Goss, which are based on Asian films, are themselves cinematic: "The Blue Kite" is a work of minimalist beauty. There are many other talented composers lending their gifts to this CD. Most of the selections are either composed for Yang Xuefei or are arrangements by her. All are inspired by Chinese culture and music. My favorite piece is "Long Outstretched Pier with its Shadow" (by Dietmar Ungerrank); it is elegantly written and the execution is sensual and rich.
Yang XueFei's technical agility, especially the right hand, (as in "Yi Dance") goes beyond that of her contemporaries. As impressive as this is, the passion she imbues into each work is what connects her to the songs and ultimately to the audience. Technique is there to help her express what is inside of her. It is as if the guitar is her lover. This just isn't a great guitar album; it is a great album period. Its emotional complexity deepens with each listening. Buy it!
I've also purchased "Romance de Amor" which is extremely good as well (listen to her version of "Requerdos de la Alhambra" as compared to one of her heroes, John Williams on "The Guitarist"), but "Si Ji" is totally unique. Don't miss it.
As an aside, If you do end up buying and enjoying this CD, you might listen to Lily Afshar. The influence of her Persian heritage is similar in effect to "Si Ji" by Yang XueFei. Both artists have breathed life into the modern repertoire of guitar music.

5 out of 5 stars Virtuoso playing and an unusual repetoire.......2005-10-26

I am a classical guitar student, and an over-the-top consumer. So I have a lot (many dozens) of classical guitar CDs. They are for the most part quite good, but they tend to blend. I might be able to distinguish Tennant's Rodrigo or Barrueco's Scarlatti, but too many guitarists play an awful lot of the same repetoire, and they play it quite similarly.

This CD is quite different. The pieces are all Asian in flavor and by composers I had never heard of. And they are quite beautiful. Ms. Yang appears to be quite young, so this could be the start of a long and interesting career. But at least one of the pieces was written for her, so she has already apparently developed a solid reputation.

5 out of 5 stars Deuter, Sea & Silence.......2007-05-18

I travel for a living and sleep does not often come easy in a new bed while on the road. This music is a great help in relaxing me and allowing me to rest when I am in unfamiliar surroundings. It reminds me of home.

1 out of 5 stars bad music .......2005-01-23

Having played industrial and synthesizer mujsic sice I was 5 years of age I music say this CD is really dreadful.
Of course it sounds peaceful - that's one synthesizer button. Of course it sounds inthralling - that's another button.
Fact is there's no heart whatsoever here and it's ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE EVEN BY THE SAME ARTIST.
i dislike to shatter your dreams but this music is [...]

5 out of 5 stars WOW! One of my absolute all-time favorites!.......2004-12-23

This CD is an absolute wonder! I have many serious illnesses and have always been very stressed person. I've never succesfully found ways to relax. With most relaxation CD's I roll my eyes, and try and sit still through them. With this CD, I was completely calm, and for once, at peace. It brought me to a meditative state, and a new awareness of the light within all of us. It is definately a CD I reccamend to you with no qualms or hesitation. You are sure to absolutely love it!

5 out of 5 stars So Peaceful!.......2004-01-06

I love this CD! I have loved Deuter's music for a long time, but I never got his more recent CDs -- I just listened to classics from the 70s like "Ecstasy." But this new one is AMAZING! What makes it special compared to other New Age or Ambient recordings? Ultimately, I have to say it is the feeling of genuineness, authenticity, and joy that suffuses it. There's other music out there which is totally "chilled," but Deuter always feels like he REALLY MEANS what he's saying with his music. He sounds like he is really in the spiritual "place" that his music expresses. And that gives it a totally different feel; it's not just relaxing, it's "describing" a spiritual destination of joy and peace that really exists. There are no dark undertones as there are with some ambient music, no ambiguity; this is really "realm of light" music, but not in an abstract way, rather in a very concrete way, sounding very personal and real. In a nutshell: this is New Age music in a league of its own. If this is your cup of tea, buy the CD for sure.

5 out of 5 stars Deuter's best!.......2003-04-05

I have been listening to Deuter off and on for years, and I feel that this is his best music so far. Perfect for dreaming, meditation, and/or leaving your body, moving away from planet Earth, out into the Void and the foreverness of infinite space! Soft lapping water sounds, lovely rich deep silence, and the haunting longing of simple melodies carry you up and out into the higher frequencies. Yes!
Thank you.

5 out of 5 stars EPICS THAT DO NOT DISAPPOINT.......2007-05-14

WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA TO TAKE HOLLYWOOD'S COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL EPIC MOVIES, EXTRACT THE BEST PORTIONS OF THE SCORES AND COMBINE THEM FROM THE DAWN OF MAN TO THE RECENT PAST. I PARTICULARLY ENJOY THE SUITES FROM GLADIATOR, BRAVEHEART AND THE VIKING. THE REPRODUCTION OF THESE SCORES BY THE CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS IS BRILLIANT, AND THE RECORDING WAS EXCELLENT. I ONLY WISH THERE WERE EIGHT DISCS INSTEAD OF FOUR TO COVER THE VOLUMES OF SCORES THAT COULD NOT BE INCLUDED. LET'S HOPE FOR A VOLUME II.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting selections . . ........2006-12-15

This compiiation album makes an excellent gift for that person wanting to discover great, epic scores. I'm surprised, however, that Vangelis' Alexander is included in this one. Not bad, just surprised.

The reason I give this album 4 out of 5 stars is because of the swashbuckler section. How is it that CutThroat Island - one of the greatest epics in history - was scrubbed out of the list? Pirates of the Caribbean is included on the selection but nothing from Debney's masterpiece?!

Yes, that is a huge compilant. If you haven't discovered CutThroat Island, I suggest you get it then you'll understand my frustration. Still, this album is a great buy and worth looking into!

5 out of 5 stars "Epics featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra ~ 60 years of film scores".......2005-09-07

When I think of the "Golden Age of Hollywood", many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "EPICS:THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HOLLYWOOD", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades right and up to the present 2005.

There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classics that even the youngsters today recognize...sweeping scores that capture the drama, mystery, adventure, action and romance...one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this...many nominated and winners by the Academy for Best Original Score...

Silva Screen Classics as usual, has put quality into this 4-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come...this collection is aimed directly at the "Serious Film Score" music fans and collectors...Silva is as always, perfect in every way...just the way we like 'em!

The waves get a bit loud but its very relaxing while youre sleeping or just meditating. This cd is just one of the many Sounds of Earth cd's and the Sea is one of the best.

    4 out of 5 stars Accomplished Debut for Unique Young Kiwi Bass-Baritone.......2005-05-25

    I was impressed enough with young bass-baritone Jonathan Lemalu's recently released "Opera Arias" disc to get his 2002 recital debut CD, especially since it is part of the bargain-priced EMI Classics "Debut" series, the same series that produced fellow baritone Nathan Gunn's wonderful 1999 folk song panorama, "American Anthem". This time, Lemalu is accompanied only by the sure hands of pianist Roger Vignoles rather than a full orchestra, and the results are no less enthralling. His booming voice is amazingly nuanced and quite resonant for such a young singer (he was 25 when he recorded this disc), and his program is thoughtful and well-rounded here.

    First, Lemalu ambitiously tackles Brahms' penultimate opus, "Vier ernste Gesänge" ("Four Serious Songs"). Written a year before the composer's death, they carry a dark funereal tone, which Lemalu carries with appropriate heft initially and then expertly lightens the tone with each successive song until he achieves a measured level of romanticism on the last one, "Wenn ich mit Menschen" about St. Paul's sermon on love in his first Epistle to the Corinthians. The Schubert series carries a fatalistic romanticism throughout the four selections here, which Lemalu showcases most notably on "Auf der Donau", which places a Johann Mayrhofer poem in a wintry setting, and "Der Schiffer", a beautifully rhythmic combination of rolling piano and sharply enunciated German verse. The four brief pieces that make up Fauré's "L'Horizon chimérique" ("The Illusory Horizon") are dream-like discourses that use images in nature to focus ironically on the disenchantment that comes with love.

    The tone shifts gears with the English folk songs that make up the remainder of the program. Lemalu is downright jolly on the rambunctious "Rollicum-rorum" and openly yearning on the swooning "To Lizbie Browne", the latter my favorite track and his most accomplished performance here. The four remaining songs are devoted to the sea - the melancholy "Lowlands" is a chantey that sounds quite a bit like "Shenandoah" and beautiful all the same; "Sea Fever" and "Trade Winds" both vividly capture a sailor's need for the high seas in individually distinct fashion; and "The Estuary" is a haunting ballad which dramatically describes a ship passing into the distance and into one's memory. There are minor flaws in Lemalu's performance, for example, he has a slight tendency to roll his r's unnecessarily, an affectation that I hope he uses sparingly in the future. But the talent is rich and most promising, the tone velvety and the future quite bright for this New Zealand-born Samoan performer. A highly recommended peek at a talent ready to fly.

    Perfect

    I found this CD in chicago, where this brit now lives, and the tunes and themes are such a retrieval cue for sunday afternoons watching these old stiff upper lip black and white movies on tv. Just what I needed, although the addition of 4 weddings is slightly odd. Good quality recordings...:-)

    5 out of 5 stars Beautiful music........2007-01-10

    I sat back with the lights dimmed and a cup of hot coffee and enjoyed the beautiful haunting music of years gone by. Memories abound.

    4 out of 5 stars 5 stars for performance, 4 stars due to omissions.......2006-08-29

    Why doesn't this get a perfect five stars?

    Simple reason.

    The producers at Silva, for wahtever reason, decided to cut down their SHE suites and Hands of the Ripper suites.

    On the previous Hammer releases, "Draculas - Classic Horror Films", released in 1993, recorded in 1989, they had seven additional minutes of "Hands of the Ripper" that could have been included on this set.

    Additionally, The Devil Rides Out: Film Music of James Bernard, released in 1997, recorded in 1995 and 1996 had about a minute more of additional music from SHE, PLUS about seven minutes worth of suites from Quatermass and X: The Unknown.

    Both discs in this new re-issue round out at around 68 minutes, so there was room for some of these omissions.

    Silva Screen gets big kudos for a reissuing these recordeings in the remastered HDCD format, but I don't understand these omissions. In fact, one of the tracks included, "Vampire Hunter" isn't even from a Hammer film, and its the only recording on this collection not on previous Silva CD's.

    Again, 5 stars for the performances, the 1989 performances with Neil Richardson and the Philharmonia are fantastic. (Dracula, Dracula: Prince of Darkness, Dracula Has Risen From The Grave, Taste the Blood of Dracula, Hands of the Ripper, Vampire Circus.)

    Additionally, The Westminster Philharmonic under the baton of Kenneth Alwyn do an excellent job as usual (Kiss of the Vampire, Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, She, THe Abominable Snowman, Quatermass II and Curse of the Werewolf.) Finally, the City of Prague Philharmonic, who get a bad rap more often than they deserve round out hte album and IMHO, deliver the goods, under the trusty batons of Paul Bateman (Scars of Dracula, Frankenstein Created Woman, additionally, Bateman also plays the piano solo on Kiss of the Vampire.) and Nic Raine (The Devil Rides Out, One Million Years BC, When Dinosuars Ruled the Earth, Creatures The World Forgot, The Vampire Hunter)

    I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could.

    Much thanks to producers David Wishart, Eric Tomlinson and James Fitzpatrick and recording engineers Mike Ross-Trevor, John Luard Timperley and Jan Holzner for contributing to these fine historical film music recordings.

    5 out of 5 stars "Hammer & Silva...raises the hair on the back of your neck".......2002-04-09

    Silva Screen takes us on tour through the castles of Transylvania with a collection of
    outstanding scores from James Bernard on Disc One ~ "DRACULA" (1958)..."KISS OF
    THE VAMPIRE" (1964)..."DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS"
    (1966)..."FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN" (1967)..."THE DEVIL RIDES OUT"
    (1968)..."DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE" (1968)..."THE SCARS OF
    DRACULA" (1970)..."TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA" (1970)...even though the
    blood doesn't flow as easily in "KISS OF THE VAMPIRE", the score from Bernard is
    seductive, sensual to say the least for "creatures of the night", masked ball scene blends
    atmospheric trance-masquerade themes, intoxicating main title is hauntingly mesmerizing with
    "VAMPIRE RHAPSODY", just listen to the piano solo from our character in the film Carl
    Ravna (Barry Warren), son of Dr. Ravna (Noel Willman) along with daughter Sabena Ravna
    (Jacqueline Wallis), a cult of vampires in early 20th century Bavarian, praying on a young
    honeymoon couple...Bernard's rhapsody captures the listeners heart and BLOOD!

    Let's look at Disc Two with the other Hammer themes and their composers ~ "THE
    ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN" (1957-Humphrey Searle)..."QUATERMASS II"
    (1957-James Bernard)..."CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF" (1960-Benjamin
    Frankel)..."CURSE OF THE MUMMY'S TOMB" (1964-Carlo Martelli)..."SHE"
    (1965-James Bernard)..."ONE MILLION YEARS B.C." (1966-Mario
    Nascimbene)..."WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH" (1969-Mario
    Nascimbene)..."HANDS OF THE RIPPER" (1971-Christopher Gunning)..."VAMPIRE
    CIRCUS" (1971-David Whitaker)..."VAMPIRE HUNTER" (2000-James
    Bernard)...difficult as it may be, there is a stand out ~ "THE CURSE OF THE
    WEREWOLF", fine direction from Terence Fisher (director) with an outstanding cast Oliver
    Reed (Leon-the Werewolf), Clifford Evans (Alfredo), Yvonne Romain (Servant Girl) and
    Catherine Feller (Christina), Hammer's departure from the old stereotype of the beast is
    refreshing, Reed's performance as the tormented sole, from man to wolf is touching, the score
    by Ben Frankel is tense building at it's best, to say the least, setting the tone and mood for the
    transformation with counterpoints is stimulating, inclusive orchestration development for what
    lies ahead during a full moon.

    Without a doubt the highlight pick hands down is "SHE", composer James Bernard gives of
    himself without question, the SUITE takes the orchestra into lilting melodic exercises with
    percussion chiming in, the harmonies are hypnotic blends of textured fabric, listen as The
    Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Alwyn display stirring strings and
    a solo harp run the scales in "THE ETERNAL FLAME AND THE DESTRUCTION OF
    SHE", hold-fast arrangement has haunting echoes of Bernard's constant theme, with a final
    beat from a drum in the percussion section.

    Must make mention the cast of players that made this possible ~ The Philharmonia Orchestra,
    The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, The Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra ~ and
    their various conductors Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, Nic Raine and Neil
    Richardson...supported by the illustrious staff from Silva Screen Records LTD ~ Reynold da
    Silva (executive producer), David Stoner (associate producer), Gareth Williams (Dolby
    Surround/HDCD Mastering) and of course James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), who
    has the knack of developing quality in every Silva Screen release...similar to "A History Of
    Horror:From Nosferatu To The Sixth Sense" (SSD-1111/2CD Set), guaranteed to raise the
    hair on the back of your neck!

    Total Time: Disc One 68:01 on 14 Tracks & Disc Two 68:46 on 14 Tracks ~ Silva Screen

    5 out of 5 stars ENGLAND, THEIR ENGLAND.......2004-05-30

    Previn has a conspicuous penchant for 20th century English music, both the music I am myself enthusiastic about such as Britten and Walton and the kind for which my mania is rather muted such as Holst and Vaughan Williams. I was therefore expecting a lot of this disc and I have not been disappointed.

    Britten did not always dislike Brahms, and even after he had gone off him in general he retained his admiration for the D minor concerto. For me, the start of the Sinfonia da Requiem should create the same kind of impact as the start of that mighty effort, and it absolutely does as Previn gives it. The peremptory call to attention, the glowering sense of hostility as well as tragedy, the lapse into uneasy quiet - this is the way I feel it should be. First impressions count as no other impressions do, and Previn had got me on his side right away. The rest was plain sailing, across a dark sea admittedly, and the power and the sadness of this great and probably still undervalued work are as strongly conveyed as I think I can ever remember.

    East Anglia is a part of the country that I am particularly fond of, and Crabbe is a poet who gets through to me. There is something I find hypnotic about the peculiar `tramp tramp' of Crabbe's couplets at their best, so music that evokes that coast both directly and via its own poet is music that I start predisposed to. First impressions helped again, and in the first number `Dawn' Previn's tempo struck me as perfectly judged, with the `lento' not too slow and the sense of drifting mist perfectly caught. The later extracts were pretty much ideally to my taste too, the contrasts in mood strong and effective but not overplayed, and the final grim passacaglia caught the mood as I imagine it powerfully indeed - Crabbe humanised but not sentimentalised.

    Hardy's Wessex , and Hardy's novels, have always been a `dead zone' in my own sensibility, and that sadly coincides with a lifelong inability to respond to the school of English music that includes Holst. I suppose I can be `objective' about the Holst pieces here, but hardly in the best sense. They are obviously very well done, and Previn's handling of Egdon Heath, more rhapsodic than say, Boult's, is, I would guess, likely to win admirers among aficionados of the work. I can't say how well it evokes that part of the country because the only places I know in Dorset are Bournemouth and Lyme Regis. I can however report that the playing of the LSO is admirable - in my view Previn worked marvels with them whatever battles that involved - and the recordings, made in 1975/6 and much admired in The Gramophone, are unexceptionable even if not quite outstanding by the highest up-to-date standards. There are not likely to be better accounts of any of this music for some time to come.

    He was handsome, hot, had a rich, distinctive voice and was a vulgar SOB, but you had to love baritone Lawrence Tibbett's audacity in falsifying a composer's intentions while he made the music as exciting and flashy as possible. This two-disc collection take from the Stanford University Archives covers his famous roles in Carmen and Barber of Seville, plus his forays into pop tunes and even his rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner." It's an interesting time capsule since Tibbett touch on so many media--even movies. But even though most of these recordings predate his vocal decline in the 1940s, it's mostly for fans only. --David Patrick Stearns

    5 out of 5 stars Lawrence Tibbett: An artist for all generations........2005-10-20

    Lawrence Tibbett left a priceless legacy, not only to all baritones who would come after him, but to all singers: It's alright to color outside the lines; it's OK to interpret a role from your own emotions; dare to be different! This is what keeps opera vibrant and viable! From the swaggering Toreador to the chilling Iago to the tender "Under Your Spell" to the glorious "Glory Road," Tibbett proves his point. David Stearns,in his mean-spirited blog says, "for Tibbett fans only." Right! You will be! Just listen to this album!
