Magnificent!.......2007-06-02

I have listened to this album time and time again. I never tire of its beauty, its passion, and its inventiveness. It is one of the few albums I must always have on my MP3 player. It is a work of genius by a man who is brilliantly interpreting the genius of the Beatles. The recording quality is superb.

Interesting and surprising.......2006-06-11

I love this CD. It combines the best of both worlds--classical and rock. Paul McCartney said he took Bach pieces and made them into something new; for instance he used Bach chord progressions for his song "Jenny Wren," on his newest "Chaos and Creation" CD. Well, Bayless takes Beatles melodies and does great Bach-style things with them here. It is fun to hear Beatles done in the Baroque style, interestingly and flawlessly. Bayless is creative in his arrangements, AND he performs so well. This CD makes me smile. I betcha Bach and all four Beatles are smiling whenever its played.

Superb artistry!.......2005-12-31

As a professional classical musician (and erstwhile Beatles fan - my mother raised me listening to them at home in the late 70s) I have to commend this delightful album! The playing itself is fantastic, and the artistry and skill of John Bayless in imitating Bach is really amazing. It's just plain fun to listen to, but sounds like "real" classical music. I've bought this as a gift for many other musical colleagues, to rave reviews!

True to Bach, with a hint of The Beatles.......2005-08-13

This CD is a tribute to Bach with a hint of The Beatles infused between. It rings true to Bach's complex, multi-voiced piano pieces with mild Beatles undercurrents. Beautifully done. I completely disagree with the previous reviewers.

Worth a try, but don't expect much.......2005-08-08

I like listening to experimental music, and thus I have a lot of respect for this album for what it attempts to accomplish. I had high expectations for this experiment because I am a huge fan of Bach and the Beatles. It's very hard to hear any Beatles influence during most of the album. Unless the money that you plan to spend on this album is disposable, I suggest that you consider spending some time listening to the samples before investing in this album.

Album Details

Digitally Remastered Double Anthology of the Pop and Soundtrack Composer from the 50's and 60's. Perhaps his Best Counterpart of Today Would Be John Williams. A Film Maker Could Always Rely on Mancini to Deliver a Composition that Hit the Mark for a Film and Conveyed Exactly What was Required and More. He also Filled the Role of an American Mantovani, Recording 'muzak' Versions of Popular Hits. He was Handsome, Personable, but Most of All, Well Respected for his Craft.

Customer Reviews:

not enough Galway.......2003-10-02

There are only four songs with James Galway. The way this recording is presented is misleading and buyers should be aware that this is NOT a joint effort between these two great artists.. I was totally disappointed. I think Henry Mancini is wonderful but was expecting to hear a collaboration. So if you're looking for flute music this isn't it. However it's a great collecton of Henry Mancini's work.

Too Good to Last.......2000-03-03

I heard this on PBS. Galway and Mancini may be two of the most talented musicians of our century. Galway for his complete mastery of the flute and Mancini for his ability to arrange , produce and in this instance direct the orchestra while Galway performs. They do several duets of a comical nature as well. This is important because it is one of Mancini's last efforts prior to his unfortunate passing.

STRINGS DIPPED IN PERFUME.......2006-06-29

I love this album. They should make a movie based on the book PERFUME and call it SCENTLESS APPRENTICE and then they should use the music from the CD as the basis for the movie soundtrack. I could imagine writers of fantansy or medieval stories might find this music inspiring to listen to while they write.

The transition is painless.......2006-02-12

I'd recommend this for any rock fan, even those who haven't heard Nirvana. (You probably have and just didn't know who it was.) Nirvana's artistic genius truly shows through this string quartet. Although I'm not ecstatic about Tom Tally's cover of "Something in the Way" it's not something I don't enjoy listening to. Todd Mark Rubenstein, however, does a fantastic job interpreting Nirvana. Or any band I've heard him do so far.

Although at first you may be put off by the idea of hearing your favorite rock in string quartet form, this CD should dispell any doubts. When done well, a string quartet tribute is at least as - if not more - valuable than the original.

Something different from your usual Nirvana.......2005-03-29

I heard this CD played in my friends car, and even though it was just some violins, I enjoyed it alot. I asked who it was, and they said "Nirvana". I was surprised, and looked around online to see that it was something called a String-Tribute. This is an awesome CD, with songs like Rape Me, Come As You Are, and Smells Like Teen Spirit remade with that orchastral feel to it. It's different, but in a good way. If you're not into this kind of thing, well, neither was I.

Something different.......2005-03-04

I have listened to many of the SQTs but this one is one of my faves. The renditions of Polly, Rape Me, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, and All Apologies are interesting, but the rest are just decent. One of my rules of buying a CD is if they have three songs you like then it is permissible to buy the CD. The people who impulse-buy b/c of a hit song like "The Macarena" are total numb-nuts. But that's my opinion. But for Nirvana fans I hioghly suggest this is you want to hear Nirvana transposed into orchestra.

well put together.......2005-03-04

I listen to nirvana frequently and when i heard this randistion of it i was pretty impresses. You can expect a band like nirvana to be well translated into instrumental. Or at least there more laid back songs. All in all i recomend this to anyone who would like to try somthing different. I thought it was well put together

Customer Reviews:

One of my favorites.......2006-11-23

This CD has a mixture of pieces that would have been performed in a domestic setting, from secular/devotional songs to verse anthems, virginal music and viol consort. Many of the vocal pieces are found in Byrd's "Songs of Sundry Natures." I particularly enjoyed the verse anthems 'Have Mercy Upon Me, O God' and especially 'Christ Rising Again' which is probably the finest recording of that well-known anthem that I've ever heard. Red Byrd captures the domestic nature of these pieces, which is nothing like the typical ethereal cathedral boy soprano/Tallis Scholars type of performance that you would normally hear. They have a very earthy sound and the viol consort plays quite energetically. I also am a big fan of historical pronunciation which they use. And of course I can never get enough of Caroline Trevor's fantastic alto voice. As a result, I've bought every Red Byrd CD I can get my hands on. Do yourself a favor and pick up this bargain CD.

One of the best of all recordings of William Byrd.......2005-07-14

William Byrd is regarded by many as the greatest composer England has ever produced, as a kind of musical Shakespeare. He was certainly one of the greatest of the composers of the Seconda Prattica from around the period of the Reformation and Counter Reformation.

The collection of consort music here is simply superb. Pieces like 'John Kiss Me Now' remind us of the fact that variation form began in England around this time. All of the performances are as good as any I have yet to hear of Byrd's music and Naxos clearly scored something of a coup when managing to sign up this group for a recording like this. This would be equally highly recommendable for three times the price. Just look at the list of performers and you will even find Tesser Bonner of the Tallis Scholars listed here. Needless to say she sings beautifully too.

Perhaps my very favourite aspect of this recording is the fact that period pronounciation is used. While some may feel this to be pedantic, the rather quaint and rustic sounding Tudor English pronouciation in my mind only enhances the characterfulness of the pieces. I must say it puzzles me why even the likes of Emma Kirky insists on using modern English pronouciation when singing Byrd.

This is a hugely enjoyable CD and for the price it is a genuine steal that enhances the image of Naxos as a company dedicated to quality music making, that puts the giant multinational recording cooporations to utter shame. For that Naxos deserve our accolade and support.

Fifteen minutes of great entertainment.......2005-03-23

"Penny and Me" is one of those songs that gives you a lighthearted kind of feeling that makes you want to tap your steering wheel and sing along as you drive. This single is great, because you get the album version along with an acoustic version as well. What makes this single even better is the unreleased track, "Every Word I Say." It's an upbeat, catchy song that I can't believe hasn't been released on an album or as a radio single. For four bucks, you get an absolute gem. Definitely worth buying.

Roll the windows down..........2004-12-26

Roll the windows down and blare Penny & Me... guarenteed to make you happy. This is Hanson's first single off the Underneath album, and what a great choice. Penny and Me is a GREAT song. I thought that owning this single for the sake of owning it with just Penny & Me on it would be great, but I really like listening to the acoustic version as well. A special bouns on this single that I cherish, Every Word I Say. This is by far my favorite song done by Hanson. If you want to hear pure beauty at its finest, get this single.

Penny and Me Rocks!.......2004-11-27

I absolutly love this single! It shows how Hanson has grown and matured musically over the years. Great musicianship and the vocals are amazing! This song is one of the highlights on their CD Underneath. It's a great song to listen to while drivig down the road and it's a great song for the summer. Hanson are back and are better than ever!

good.......2004-07-25

I'd reccomend this single because it has the tracks Every Word I Say and the radio/shorter version of Penny and Me

Penny and Me.......2004-07-02

I am glad that Hanson have finaly released another album. It is worth the wait and is worth the buy to. Penny and Me is a very catchy happy tune and hopefuly it will go high up the charts when it is released. It was dissapointing that their last album did not get that much notice but hopefuly this one will. You also get to see them preform the song as you get a DVD with the c.d. album. It shows that they can sing live and in tune without having the need of the equipment to make them sound better on just disc. Realy if you want a happy bouncy album this will be the one.

great work from Jim Steinman.......2006-06-16

Jim Steinman, known for his operatic-style rock music (Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, etc.) has shown a more classic style of him in this one-of-a-kind musical. He takes several styles from the Civil War era and twists them with modern musical treatments.

You can hear many bits and pieces of music used in this album that Steinman uses much later in some of his rock songs, such as the intro to Making Love Out of Nothing at All, chorale phrases from The Future Ain't What it Used to Be and many others.

If you are a Steinman fan, this is a must!! Ray Earl Fox does a great job with the lyrics and they compliment the music to a tee.

Loved it so much I got the rights!.......2004-05-26

Upon hearing this musical I loved it so much I went out and got the rights to direct it onstage this October in Cincinnati! I was always a fan of Jim Steinman's music, but I now also have a great respect for the lyrics of Ray Fox. Fox is a wordsmith much in the tradition of Stephen Sondheim, with intricate wordplay and quick patter. I would suspect that it was his early work with Fox on this project that led Steinman himself into developing into a world class, phrase twisting. lyricist himself. And of course you have Steinman's great ear for melody, but with a much different feel than his Rock music. A great lost treasure of American theater (come see it in October!)

The Confidence Man.......2004-04-02

One of the undiscovered classics of the century. I hope to produce the first Australian production in November 2005. This show has a long and winding history, but I'll leave all that to the liner notes. Ray Errol Fox is one of the greatest lyricists of all time. I have never seen another talent like him - expect for Rupert Holmes - and these are the men I hold among my chief inspiration. Jim Steinman, the composer, whom many of you will remember from Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell has actually re-used many of these tunes in his subsequent projects. If you want the original version of his closing song from Pandora's Box, listen to Track One. "Milady" and "Something of this Masquerade may Follow" were re-used for TANZ DER VAMPIRE. Thank God this was finally released. It's a beautiful, heroic and courageous, discovered-at-last masterpiece of American musical theater.

The Confidence Man.......2004-03-07

When a friend gave me "The Confidence Man" as a Christmas gift, he advised me that I would be in for a treat. I was somewhat skeptical since I had never heard of it, but since it was based on a Herman Melville novel, I was intrigued. And it had music by Jim Steinman. I liked the story, of course, and the music, but it was the lyrics (by Ray Eroll Fox) that captivated me. They are witty, literate and consistently surprising. I find something new to admire every time I listen. Anyone into American musical theater shouldn't be without this one!

Average customer rating: EXCELLENT B-side track too!!!

EXCELLENT B-side track too!!!.......2005-08-18

'Penny and Me' is a great song by my favorite band, but in my opinion the other included track 'Every Word I Say' is even better. I've listened to that one over and over. I first heard 'Penny and Me' live, and it was interesting to later hear the studio version. The "uh-oh" part is more subdued in the studio version, which was a little disappointing, but it still kicks butt!
