simply baroque.......2007-07-30

Great album of YO YO Ma's ......as usual he is a master of the instrument.....I have to say , however, that Simply Baroque II was a greater listening pleasure for me simply because the music was more uplifting and in the style of baroque I prefer....but this is also a fine album for Baroque lovers.

Simply the Best.......2005-05-31

I can only say, that as far as I am concerned, this is just some of the best music I have ever heard.... Im guessing this is the way Bach intended his music to sound in the first place, and who better for that than the AMO and Koopman...and of course YO YO... if u love classic music, you are absolutly going to LOVE this cd..I highly recommend it

Viva Las Vegas Cd.......2007-08-01

I am a uk Elvis fan and this has been released here as a double cd! The cd listed here is disc one, and is playing on my cd player as I write and is a good selection of Elvis tracks, however I see that this listing on Amazon has 3 tracks missing that are on mine, and even just in this form I would recommend it, but if you can get the double then go for that as it has a concert recorded live at the International Hotel on August 21st 1969, and is an amazing concert cd, which makes it a must have purchase! I have not looked hard on Amazon to see if that version is there, if not go to Amazon Uk's site and get it there! The quality of the recording is really good as well on both the disc listed here, and the concert one!
I still voted it 5 stars as it is still a really good selection by the king, so how could it be anything but a 5?

enough.......2007-07-31

I give it five stars because the music is good,but enough is enough.They did not have to get very creative to package this one.Not much different in content from last years Elvis Live except one of these songs is a studio track.I give it 5 stars for the music and 2 stars for the companys creativity.Surely there must be a live version of Viva Las Vegas in their vaults.This rehashed collection is only for the die hard fan or for those who don't already own his other live cds.I just believe for a thiriteth anniversary they could have done better.

A NEW DAY IN VEGAS.......2007-06-13

This show that Celine does in Vegas, is a must see show. She is outstanding, and performs outstanding. She wears the most beautiful clothes. I have seen her show 8 times, and going in August, and have tickets for her last show on Dec. 15th. This will be the show of all shows in Vegas. There will never be an other singer that will TOP CELINE DION. Susan

As good as the show.......2007-01-10

This CD is great to listen to and even better after seeing the performance in person. My only regret is that there seems to be a couple of songs missing from the CD that she sings during her show in Legas.

A New Day....Live in Las Vegas.......2006-11-10

Without a doubt Celine is a great singer, she has a voice as beautiful as Barbra Streisand. I really enjoy listening to her.

Wonderful.......2006-11-10

This CD reminds me of when my husband and I went to see her recently. I love the CD. It captures the moment for me. I listen to it All The Time. I have recommended it to everyone I know.

Great as always.......2006-08-04

Celine's songs are always very good; however, still awaiting the DVD of the entire Las Vegas show; not the bits and pieces as was included with the CD.

DG has put together a fascinating compilation of Segovia's art that reminds us what a protean figure he was. Segovia single-handedly put the instrument on the map by making classical guitar concerts popular events, broadening the instrument's repertory through commissions and transcriptions, and convincing even doubters that it could be a vehicle for serious music. He's heard here in brief pieces recorded between 1952 and 1969. Even in those made when he was well into his 70s, his fingers remain nimble and interpretations lively. Listening straight through, one hears many all-time Segovia favorites as Turina's Sevillana and Albeniz's Asturias and Zambra Granadina and renews appreciation for path-breaking composers like Castelnuovo-Tedesco. He wrote extensively for Segovia and his Capriccio diabolico and Tonadilla are pieces of real substance. Disc two is largely made up transcriptions and it's amazing how well so many of them work on the guitar, at least under Segovia's magic fingers. Thus the transformations of Bach's violin music and even a Chopin Prelude sound idiomatic, and the gorgeous melodies of the Canzonetta from Mendelssohn's Op. 12 String Quartet are irresistible here. An entrancing set. --Dan Davis

A Man and His Art - Magnificently Captured.......2007-04-06

This 2-CD set produced by Deutche Grammmophon and first released in 2002 is one set of the hundreds that could have been or the dozens that actually have been made and sold successfully all over the world. The exceptional feature of this particular collection is not, of course, the performer. Quite to the contrary, the miraculous consistency of stylings and performance are amongst the most remarkable aspects of the man who was, arguably, the 20th Centry's virtuoso supreme of the classical guitar, Andres Segovia (1893-1987.) Rather, it is the collection itself - the pieces chosen to be produced on this one set - this, to steal a German word, gestalt. While his style did not remain constant throughout his long life and career, by the time he had developed his most masterful skills that included doing his own arrangements - the era represented on this particular set (1951-1960) - his playing had become completely his own - unchallenged and unmatched by even other clearly great guitarists with whom he shared this era.

There are a total of 31 pieces played on these CDs and while a playlist would be an unnecessary use of space here, a list of the composers represented is not. More than the specific pieces Segovia gives us here, the range of composers chosen by the compilers and editors - with each piece rearranged by Segovia himself, tells us a great deal about his interests, talents and musical range. These composers include:
Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy, John Dowland, Manuel de Falla, Cesar Franke, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Edvard Grieg, George Frederic Handel, Felix Mendelsohn, Frederico Moreno Torroba, Modest Mussorgsky, Nicolo Paganini, Felipe Pedrell, Manuel Ponce, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Joaquin Rodrigo, Albert Roussel, Domenico Scarlatti, Alexander Scriabin, Segovia's own composition of Estudio sin luz, Fernando Sor, Francisco Tarrega, Joaquin Turina and Heitor Villa-Lobos. A truly magnificent and broad ranging collection held together by Segovia's unique personal style, approach and sound.

Largely self-taught, Andres Segovia did things with a guitar that others only imagined. He didn't just play Bach, for example - music written for an entirely different type of instrument (keyboards.) He went a step further, and recorder Bach's keyboard lessons written for his students (the Two and Three Part Inventions) and made them sound as if they had been written for the guitar! His artistry is evident to even the casual listener and in this collection, any devote of classical guitar and/or of Segovia as an individual artist, will not be disappointed.
Perfect listening for anytime. Hypnotic and, simply, unsurpassed. A necessary addition to any serious classical guitar collection.

What can you say - it's Segovia!.......2007-02-10

I saw Segovia perform live in my youth. What a treat! Anyone who loves Classical Guitar should love this collection.

EVERYBODY KNOWS.......2007-01-13

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT ANDRES SEGOVIA WAS/IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST CLASSICAL GUITAR PLAYER. THIS CD IS A COMPILATION OF HIS RECORDINGS FROM THE THE EARLY 50'S TO THE LATE 60'S. HIS GUITAR MASTERY IS UNQUESTIONED AND HE IS AN INSPIRATION. I WISH I COULD PLAY GUITAR LIKE ANDRES SEGOVIA (BUT I CAN'T AND I NEVER WILL!).

Immortal guitar.......2006-08-02

Two CD's with Segovia's immortal music - an incredible treat at a great price!

Great Spanish- Children Music.......2007-06-02

I grew up listening to Cri Cri and I was ecstatic to see this collection available online. I highly recommend this collection! I love playing the CDs right before I put my one-year-old to sleep... it helps calm him down, and he falls asleep shortly after. It is also a great collection to play when you have children in your car. It is a collection I hope to pass on from generation to generation and hope many more see the value and appreciate this timeless music.

excelente!.......2007-04-10

Great Music, Not typical "kiddie" music.......2007-03-16

I bought this, worried about the type of music I would find based on the cover images - the bright silly graphics are typically on bad, ear-aching music for children. But this music is pleasant for adult and child. If you want high-pitched children singing along though, this is not the CD for you. Unfortunately, there are no lyrics in any language, which I greatly wanted.
Overall, a nice cd and would purchase again.

GREAT MUSIC.......2007-01-17

While Mary Weiss's name isn't familiar to the masses, her records with the Shangri-Las in the 1960s left an indelible mark on the cultural map. "Leader of the Pack," "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," and a string of other hits had her unmistakable voice blasting from radios and record players across the land. Just 18 when their last hit fell off the charts, Weiss, disillusioned from bad business deals, virtually disappeared. Now, 40 years later, comes her first solo album. Backed by Greg Cartwright and his band Reigning Sound, the songs (most of them penned by Cartwright) have their roots in the '60s, but eschew Spectorish sheen and density for a harder-edged sound. If the early-era Rolling Stones had been fronted by Debbie Harry, they'd have landed quite near this relentless 40-minute party. The few covers include an Ellie Greenwich/Jeff Barry chestnut, "Heaven Only Knows." Smartly paced, a few ballads offer some breathing room before the rhythm pumps up again. --David Greenberger

Album Description

The leader of the pack is back! Mary Weiss, the lead singer of the Shangri-Las, returns with a bang on her first recordings in four decades! Mary tackles thirteen originals by today's top songwriters plus reclaims Heaven Only Knows, backed by Memphis fan faves the Reigning Sound! Produced by Billy Miller and Greg Cartwright, this record started making noise as soon as session details began to filter out! Mary's return to the stage coincides with this release, slated for dates in Cleveland and at SXSW in Austin TX. You've spent a lifetime with 'Leader Of The Pack', 'Remember (Walking In The Sand)', 'Give Him A Great Big Kiss', 'Out In The Streets', and 'I Can Never Go Home Anymore'-- now get ready to blast forth with a brand new collection of Mary Weiss classics. The voice, the attitude, the magic that is... Mary Weiss.

Dangerous Game - A welcome return.......2007-08-01

Great rock and roll from an old master. Mary Weiss has reappeared on the scene with a unique sound, great backing with a Spectorian 'Wall' - Great stuff, lets have some more Mary!!

What Might Have Been.......2007-06-30

Let's just suppose for a moment that Mary Weiss had been recording for the last forty years between Remember (Walking in the Sand) and, to pick one song from Dangerous Game (the title track one of my least favorites on the CD, BTW), Nobody Knows, where would she rank in the collection of great women singers? Top Ten, easy. Probably Top Five. This is a terrific work -- the sixties, the eighties and a little 21st century punk on one disc. The rockers (current favorite Don't Come Back) are better than the slow ones, but downloaded or bought in CD form, this long-overdue return is way worth the money. And a big thumbs up to the band, Reigning Sound. Their urgent, hard-edged playing adds a lot to the Weiss vocals. Great stuff.

Ouch!.......2007-06-22

A friend of mine picked this up on vinyl along with The Pipettes EP. We played the Pipettes and liked it and agreed it was decent power pop with tight vocal harmonies in the Brill Building mold but with more modern themes to it and a slight sense of cheekiness. Then we put on the Mary Weiss album. At first we thought that the record was mastered at the wrong speed. Either that or Nico came back from the grave with a Queens accent. The songs were trying way to hard to capture the sound and feel of the early 60's that they are almost a parody. Maybe the production team responsible for this drivel should listen to the Pipettes and take some notes. But then again it's Norton records and they are just too cool for that.
Let's face facts, Mary Weiss was not a very good singer back then and she is not one now, plus she hasn't been on the business end of microphone since she sang back up on Aerosmith's version of "Remember (Walking In The Sand)" back in the 70's. Ronnie Spector has been continuously working for the past 30 plus years not that she has put out anything spectacular but she kept her chops up. When you do a comeback you should do something that no one expects not a pastiche of past glory. There is a reason why the whole "Girl Group Sound" died as quickly as it did, as great as some of the stuff was most of it was trite, meaningless and designed to have a short shelf life. I know I am in the minority here but I just had to say something.

wow..........2007-06-22

The last surviving Shangri-la has released a new album! Gosh, it's like finding out that the Last Scion is writing an autobiography.

If you were male and anywhere within hailing distance of puberty when the Las were in their prime, then you knew what TOUGH looked like and - far, far, far more to the point - what it was supposed to sound like.

I grew up in Jersey, hard by the refineries along the Kill van Kul. It was a time of transition. The hoods were beginning to lose their dominance and Rock 'n' Roll was shifting away from its foundations. Surf music was on the rise; pop sounds were taking over the charts...the British Invasion was still over the horizon. But, girl groups were still hitting the charts.

Into this maelstrom, the Shangri-Las stepped with an appearance and sound that was like nothing else. Looking tough as nails and sounding sweet as wine, the Las were the girls you yearned to date but you knew you never would because they would always be dating someone older.

It didn't stop you loving them and living the mini-operas that were their songs.

Over the decades since they disbanded, it had been quiet. Fakes toured under the group name; three of the Las passed on; they were denied entry to the Rock and Roll hall of Fame - H*ll, that's a bigger honor than getting in these days.

Then, a note in the music press: Mary Weiss is recording an album.

I approached this album with great trepidation. 40 years after the fact, what could one hope and pray for, let alone expect? After all, The Who are a virtual parody of themselves and Roger has - d*mm*t to H*ll and back again - lost his voice. Ronnie Spector had that ghastly album and then followed it with that way-too-many-drinks-before-the-presentation speech at the Rock Hall Induction dinner. The Stooges? Well, that's the reason to have some hope, isn't it?

And so, I bought the album.

You know what? It's good...really, really good. Maybe it is even great. But, what was surprising for me was that my first reaction wasn't about Mary. It was, instead, about the astonishing band backing her and writing a good portion of the songs. It's the Reigning Sound and they bring a stripped down simplicity to these sounds that - while at odds with the Spectorish/Brill sound that Shadow Morton (A GENIUS!) used with the Las in the 60s - bring an underpinning of maturity and wisdom to Mary's presentation.

This is probably the best thing that could have occurred! While I would crawl through glass and whatever else to hear her do Las songs, the intimacy of this album's production is every bit as important as the singer and the band.

It's good to see and hear someone who clearly, without a doubt, looks back on their life and can smile about all the times and places and people that were experienced. Something else: the voice is better than ever!

Mary: you did great! Please don't wait another 40 years.

Oh, How I Wanted To Like It............2007-06-12

If just for the pleasure she provided with The Shangri-las, I really wanted to like this CD. It wasn't as if I hadn't been warned by some, but I went ahead anyhow. She still has the voice, just not the songs. Mediocre. After awhile, you begin to think thet you're listening to a community theatre soundtrack to Grease 2007. It's not her fault, it just that the Red Bird production team is long gone.

Good for skiing.......2007-04-06

Nice music for snow skiing with an iPod. No lyrics to distract, and the heavy reverb "smears" the beat; makes me feel like I'm in tempo no matter what my skis are doing.

this cd.........2006-07-16

Calgon take me awaY..Luscious cherry bon (coloured?)bon pop,Wolven's favourite band,cause everYthing has a "U" in it when your dealing with the Twins..

Bliss..........2006-06-24

Amazing album! Embodies that soundscape west/coast mid-west wave over of the US....the backbone of the mood of the 90's for me. Mix the influences of this band and the darker contemplative Slint Spiderland...you've defined the 90's. This album is pure magic in its ability to alter my mood to shoegazing happiness....I close my eyes and I'm in the most formative years of my life feeling the warm summer nights lying on the grass with my close friends, ciggarettes and endless chatter and laughter, staring at the setting suns pink/orange clouds, awaiting another endless night.

A mix of heaven and Las Vegas.......2006-06-05

I think this is a mundane version of previously heavenly Cocteau Twins. Much of the dreamlike quality in Treasure (darkly) and Victorialand (airily) is lost, and Blue Bell Knoll is a more emotionally powerful album. While the songs are pretty good and Liz's voice is still strong, the listener feels that he is simply listening to songs instead of being engulfed in a mystic atmosphere. There may be reasons to love the Twins' matured sound, but I am one of the people who miss their more creative young days.

Glorious "Mindscape Moodpieces" That Defy Casual Description...A+.......2006-05-22

The Cocteau Twins are some of the most unique musicians one may ever encounter. Their sound is largely ineffable - something that is not easily defined, elusive, shimmering, yet most lucid. The lyrics are largely unscrutable yet serve almost as a form of a hypnotic chant in the backdrop of sheer ambient engineered soundscapes. To summarize, I really find myself enchanted by their sound and "Heaven or Las Vegas" serves as a great introduction and encapsulate of their overall thoroughput.

The title track has a mesmerizing bent to it that just pulls me in again and again. I find it hard to pull myself from its eddy. It's a fantastic exercise of what happens when pristine production, vocal arrangements, and textured sonic atmospehrics can do when layered in the right combination.

Other standouts are "Wolf In The Breast", "Iceblink Luck", "Road, River, & Rail", "Cherry Coloured Funk", "Fotzepolitic", among many others. To note, the song titles themselves are at both enigmatic, obscure, and alluring.

It's ambient goodness and an astounding encapsulate of some of the most unique music ever.

Customer Reviews:

A Relaxing and Mellow Las Vegas?.......2007-06-12

I found this soundtrack quite enjoyable and I am not the world's biggest jazz fan. Don't get me wrong, I think jazz is a great but it isn't the first type of music I run to when I want to relax. However on the soundtrack for Leaving Las Vegas, it works. The songs on this soundtrack are very moody. The tempos are coarse and cool, mean and mellow.

There are a couple of vocal songs on this soundtrack, five to be exact. Three of the songs are by Gordon Sumner A.K.A Sting, which are wonderful piano/jazz/love songs. The songs are "Angel Eyes", "My One and Only Love" and "It's a Lonesome Old Town". As amazing as it might seem, Sting recorded all three of these songs in one day. I have always been a fan of Sting, all the way back to his days with The Police. These songs aren't written by Sting, rather covers of classic jazz tunes.

The other two songs with vocals are by Don Henley and The Palladinos. Don Henley's track again is a cover and it isn't bad. I have to be honest; this isn't my favorite track on the soundtrack. Don't get me wrong, Henley puts plenty of work into "Come Rain or Come Shine", yet it doesn't grab me like most of the other songs on this soundtrack. As for the song by The Palladinos "I Won't Be Going South For A While", this tune seems very out of place on this CD. Why, because the entire soundtrack is mellow and "I Won't Be Going South For A While" is loud, fast and almost bubbly. Some of the jazz/instrumental is mellow and some selections are louder than others, but the music tempo still has a good flow throughout, much like pieces of a puzzle fitting together. Even the songs by Sting and Don Henley blend well into the track selection. I guess that is why it is the last song on the CD. It isn't a bad song; it just doesn't seem to fit. I realize it is from the movie, hence why it is on the motion picture soundtrack. Consequently, with respect to music continuity it seems like a black sheep with the rest of the melodies.

As for the movie dialogue included in the soundtrack, that wasn't a problem for me at all. I actually liked it and felt it gave the entire listening experience some character. The dialogue is spoken on its own tracks, in between music, as introductions to music and in the middle of music almost as a bridge. Now Leaving Las Vegas is deep, dark drama cloaked as a romance or a romance cloaked as a deep, dark drama. Regardless this movie is very powerful, with that said some of the dialogue selected seems almost humorist. The dialogue doesn't seem straight up funny, just maybe a bit lighthearted, which is odd because this movie isn't funny or lighthearted.

Again Leaving Las Vegas is an interesting movie and has a special place in my nostalgic heart. I have already written a review of the movie here on Amazon.com, so I won't rehash what was already written about my first experience watching this film. However, this is a pretty good soundtrack and is a nice addition to this deep, dark drama cloaked as a romance or a romance cloaked as a deep, dark drama.

I'm A Prickly Pear.......2005-09-26

A great CD - When you are alone and just want to get drunk and feel sad - this one is for you - ruggedthug.com

Where's the rest of it??????.......2004-12-24

Why bother with a whole soundtrack if you are only going to put a handful of songs on it. The best tunes from the movie aren't even on the disc. An EP would have been sufficient for the Sting and Henly tracks. Not 4 songs and 21 tracks of dialogue.

Dialogue included. Very refreshing........2002-09-10

Sting's version of various Jazz tunes is incredible. Don Henley's version of 'Come Rain Or Come Shine' is done with a lot of feel. 'Biker Bar' has a groove that inclines me to set the song on repeat, pick up my guitar, and just jam with it. Plus a lot of movie dialogue for a little variety . This one's a winner. If you're not a Sting fan, a jazz fan, or at least a fan of the movie then this probably isn't for you.

The best song you'll ever hear.......2002-01-25

Nothin will give you emotions like that of Stings' my one and only love. It'll make you fly away. It's sad really but never sadness has been so inspiring of joy as this one.
You're alone with your girlfriend, outside a cold winter, leaves falling down from the trees, you put this song on and then embrace your lover..

If Rieu is not the most outstanding purveyor of Viennese waltzes and similar light-hearted fare, he is certainly the most popular and well-known. There are plenty of fun pieces on this album, although, to be just a tad pedantic, more of it is Italian and French than remotely Viennese. But it's all fun, and it's all well-played. --Sarah Bryan Miller

Music different from title.......2007-05-26

The title of this CD was misleading. I wanted an entire CD of Viennese waltzes to play at a party, and was disappointed that there were marches, etc. on the CD. A better title would've been "The Vienna I Love, Music From My Heart".

André Rieu - The Vienna I love - Waltzes From My Heart.......2006-07-17

The music is so upbeat and you are automatically in a good mood. It is a real pleasure listening to this CD and it is done frequently.

Excellent choice.......2006-05-03

I am really a rock music fan but I enjoy this version of light classical music. It may not be for the serious classical music enthusiast, but it is still considered excellent light entertainment. What a way to introduce classical music to a wider audience!

Pop Strauss, et al.......2004-04-30

I was looking for truly Viennese renditions of Strauss waltzes. Though unrelentingly upbeat, this isn't it. There are medleys of Strauss, Offenbach, Rossini, and everyone else imaginable. It's a pop version of what was once pop on its own. I know Strauss isn't serious classical fare, but this trivializes it.

Depressed? Listen to this!.......2002-09-25

Having one of those ho-hum days just like that little round guy on the Zoloft commercial? Place this on your CD, press start, and don't fight it! You will be dancing around the living room (provided you don't fight it, just let it go!). Musically, it is a very fine piece from a very fine artist. It can totally transport you. So many of the tunes you will know from TV commercials, (Rheingold Beer) etc. It is a solid beautiful collection of tunes that can stir the soul. I know it sounds schmaltzy, but if it can make you feel better,why not try it?

Las mejores canciones pero no se de que mundo me hablas........2007-05-12

La verdad que el cd suena muy bien cuando pongo el equipo al mango la calidad de la produccion es muy buena, las canciones aunque viejitas tienen el estilo del mejor cantaoutor de hispanoamerica, Ricardo Montaner tiene la mejor voz de toda latinoamerica, Hace tanto que Montaner tenía ganas de grabar un cd de tango y en este cd se da el lujo de cantar un tangazo como Nostalgias que la verdad me parece excelente aguante Argentina carajo!, enfin, este cd tiene canciones de autores de las Américas y España, de todas formas para muchos generaciones jovenes estas canciones va a ser como nuevas, enfin por mi parte yo recomiendo este cd.
Con respecto a las canciones no son 13 como amazon publica en la páguina web son solo 12 y el tema Me cuesta tanto olvidarte no existe en el cd.

No fue lo ke esperaba.......2007-05-08

Realmente me esperaba mucho mas y solo me gustaron 4 canciones del disco.

COMO TODO LO QUE GRABA, EXCELENTE.......2007-04-25

Ricardo Montaner tiene una magia, que todo lo que graba, ya sea compuesto por el o por otro, una vez lo graba, ten por seguro que será un éxito. No pudo darle un mejor titulo a este disco que LAS MEJORES CANCIONES DEL MUNDO, porque sí fueron las mejores, pero una vez interpretadas por él, no sólo te transportas al pasado, sino que Ricardo hace muy de él estas versiones. No se van a arrepentir de tenerlo en su colección.
