Sequentia here performs a miracle of musical restoration, bringing to vibrant life medieval Icelandic texts about gods and heroes inhabiting a mythic past. Drawing on oral traditions and informed scholarly speculations about long-dead performing styles, they have come up with a hypnotic disc that startles with its power and beauties. The songs and recitations are interwoven with captivating fiddle tunes, and the singers wrench surprising emotions from the old texts. The late Barbara Thornton shines in her solos and duets, and Benjamin Bagby's mesmerizing chanting, recitation, and singing brings us as close as we're likely to get to sitting at the feet of the bards of old. An extraordinary disc that shouldn't be missed. --Dan Davis
Customer Reviews:
Sings to my DNA.......2007-02-17
While it's not unusual for me to have several different recordings of the same work by different performers, this is the only case in which I have two identical CDs, one for home and one for the car. I have to assume my Scots-Irish ancestry has some Nordic blood, as this music affects me powerfully. I haven't even read the program notes, so it can't be that the text's mesmerizing. This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if mead is your drink, it's perfect.
Pretty Good.......2007-02-01
There are some really awesome moments on this disc. All of the Voluspa segments, especially the final one describing Ragnarok, and The Song of the Mill are very well done. The stark atmosphere serves to not only enhance the singing portion, but really draw you into the song. The booklet that comes with the CD is essential, with beautiful translations of the poems that put Caroline Larrington's Poetic Edda to shame.
But there are also a lot of weak moments. I can't say that there is anything interesting in the instrumentals, which are fortunately few and far between. The Tale of Thrym is ok the first time through, but loses it's appeal very quickly. Odin's Rune Verses lack emotion compared to the rest of the pieces.
I also found the Italian Opera style singing a bit imposing. The rolling of the r's is sometime distracting, and I wondered the first time I heard it if that's what the language really sounds like. Of course, this is my first exposure to Icelandic, so I really couldn't tell you if its right or wrong, but the male singers do it much more than the females. Perhaps it just comes from their background as opera singers.
Overall, this is a good thing to have if you're at all interested in Norse/Icelandic/Viking mythology. If you're not, I think you can skip it.
For the Nordic Soul, an echo across time..........2006-10-23
I thought nothing like this existed, yet here it is! The Sequentia group sings ancient Nordic mythological poems, in very much the manner of ancient Skalds. The skald was a bard, or troubadour, of ancient Scandinavia. In the Sagas, many of the greatest skalds came from Iceland, a land colonized by Norwegians unwilling to live under the dictatorship of King Harald Harfa-gri (Harald Fairhair). The songs on this album are recited in Icelandic, a language that has changed only slightly from the Old Norse spoken by their ancestors. The style of performance is a specualtion, to a certain degree, but very much like that of most traditional Nordic folk music, traditions that have been passed on for centuries.
Medieval Latin? Music.......2006-10-14
For some reason, it doesn't sound quite nordic to me. Did they really roll their 'R's in the Old Norse, or is Sequentia putting a Latin spin on it? It sounds like Italian opera accompanied by medieval Icelandic instruments.
A great tool for learning as well as the musical enjoyment.......2006-07-11
I am impressed by, actually, the insert book! It has 47 thin pages of history, lyrics, and translation.
I bought this CD because the only foreign language I really retain is from foreign music. The lyrics are decently clear for learning. I didn't expect the insert book to have Icelandic lyrics, but it has that and a translation. There is a summary on each of the poems also.
The music is a bit simple, but the real art is in the song. The singing could even go without instrumentation. The album is 76:52 minutes long.

Here's a handy collection of popular works for violin and orchestra. The title apparently refers to the mix of warmly romantic music, like the Massenet Méditation, and flashy virtuoso stuff, like the Sarasate Carmen Fantasy and Zigeunerweisen. Sarah Chang excels in both areas. Her Dvorák and Beethoven Romances are sweetly sung, while the insanely virtuosic Tzigane by Ravel, with its wild staccato and chordal effects, she tosses off without breaking a sweat. Except for the romanticized Bach Air from the Suite No. 3, there are no stylistic transgressions, and the mix of fiery virtuoso fare and romantic slower beauties keeps interest alive throughout. Conductor Placido Domingo's proficient accompaniments don't get in her way. All the selections are familiar. Such violin virtuosi as Suk, Oistrakh, Grumiaux, Vengerov, and Perlman have recorded most of them, often coming closer to capturing the inner glow of the music. But Chang's exciting performances can't fail to please, especially if you want all these favorites on one disc. --Dan Davis

Fire and Ice? Fire, yes. But ? Brava Sarah! Theresa NY.......2005-04-22
After listening to this CD by Sarah Chang I can see the Fire in all of the selections, even the "Meditiation" by Massenet. But where the Ice comes in I cannot tell. Sarah plays with such vibrance and zeal and even if you've never heard the selection before it doesn't matter. Her interpretation of "Zigeunerweisen" is the best I have ever heard. And I think Placido Domingo also does a fabulous job of conducting. All in all, this is one of the most entertaining and enjoyable CD's I own. I urge you to buy it. You won't be sorry.
I'm impressed . . ........2004-10-22
I put the CD in CD player, turned up the volume, and went about the house doing domestic things. I had to stop doing the dishes, dry my hands, and run upstairs (and I do not like the stairs, have major issues with the stairs!) just to check the disc information. The playing was that good, jaw-droppingly so. I'm impressed.
Chang v. Perlman.......2004-10-03
This album has almost the same repertoire as one by Perlman. Some days I prefer the Perlman version, other days I prefer Sarah's version. Sarah has been a perfect technical virtuoso since she was 13. At age 19, she has matured in her artistic interpretation to rival the best in the world. (I consider Itzak Perlman to be the best, but Sarah is nearly his equal, and she is yet quite young.) I eagerly await each new album she publishes. I wish she would come to town so I could hear her live. I also wish she would record occasionally on analog LP, especially direct disc. I find CDs much less faithful to the sound of live music than LPs, though at least todays CD players are somewhat listenable, instead of making the dreadful sounds they did when the medium was new.
Great Sarasate.......2002-12-25
This recording of Carmen and Zigeunerweisen is hard to do any better. Simply great fiddle playing! Chang's vibrato and virtuosity suits this style perfectly and not many can play the page full of thirds in Carmen as well as she did it! Least successful was Beethoven and Bach. I rather prefer a more poetic mood (slower tempo) and a slightly less expansive vibrato for this kind of music. Sarah has a sometimes very broad vibrato well suited for fiery stuff but not so well suited for music that demands a certain level of sophistication. Anyway that is just my personal opinion as a violin freak. I guess the broader audience would not mind since the sound is very nice even if the vibrato is a bit out of control at times.
Thanks Sarah for yet another great recording!
Wow!.......2002-11-16
I think there's only two words to describe her playing --- Absolutely Awesome!

Elton John's Ice on Fire album.......2007-06-08
Very good ablum & great CD; good purchase all around.
Fans can never be objective..........2006-05-06
From the OBJECTIVE reviewer...Nikita is a great pop song, but the rest of the album is sorely lacking. Even a duet with George Michael is mess.
Some very good ones on it.......2006-01-27
When Elton John released this cd i saw him playin a concert in Madrid. He played two songs that are overlooked gems: "Paris" and "Cry to Heaven"...two extraordinary songs from the Elton John catalogue. One on this songs is on this cd "Cry to Heaven". Also very good are "Nikita" (a smash hit all over the world) and the beautifull song he wrote for John Lennon "The man who never died", a piano and synthetiser instrumental played with great passion and power. There are other lesser good songs on this cd but you can bet the ones are very good.
Where is "Act of War"??.......2005-01-06
The track listing for this remastered version of Ice on Fire is missing the last track (Act of War) on the original CD. What's up with that?
In any event, I think this is an OK album (the original one), but not one of Elton and Taupin's best. Still, if you are an Elton collector, you need this in your collection, too.
NOT SO GOOD AS USUAL BUT ALSO NOT SO BAD AS SAID.......2004-09-14
When I bought this record, I was thinking it would be a disaster, but after listening it carefully, I discovered that it was not the usual average quality generally delivered by Elton, but at the same time, I found some songs very interesting. I heard and knew "Nikita", the obvious hit, a great song, and I wondered what about the other songs on the album. Now in my point of view at least "This Town", "Soul Glove", "Cry to heaven", "Too young" and perhaps "Wrap her up" are very worthy songs. But I felt a little dissapointed with the other songs. The sound on this album is dominated by electronic keyboards rather than the usual piano, which is only hardly audibe on a very few songs in the background. If I had to rate the overall original album, I'd give it two stars. And why do I rate it wiht three stars? The answer can be found hearing the bonus items included, "The man who never died" is a great instrumental and the other three live tracks are not great but good. An album with some good songs mixed with other dark stuff that it's not what you can expect from Elton, but is far from being the disaster I supposed when I read the other reviews.

Customer Reviews:
Yngwie star was still bright.......2007-01-25
Yngwie is a living legend of the guitar. I really admire him and I love to hear him playing when he is focused and concentrated. This album from 1992 is probably one of the last if not the very last very good album from him. After this one came only confused albums with some good moments here and there, but this one is his last big production effort. One of the last where he was able to put in his best. Sure this album is not Rising force or Marching out and neither Trilogy, in my opinion his best albums overall (together with Live in Leningrad probably). But Fire and Ice is a consistent album throughout with some very well written music and some very good guitar work from Yngwie in it. The only tune that I really can't stand is Teaser, too much AOR for Yngwie and completly out of place here. By the way Teaser doesn't mix at all with the rest of the material comprehended in Fire and Ice. It was probably put here for Elektra's will. Probably they told Yngwie, "man, we need to have a possible single to extract from the album" and so he did write Teaser. It was a video too if I remember well. But it is a poor song for real! The rest of the material instead have Yngwie at his best, not too much in the guitar hero role. He balanced more his parts and solos leaving more space to the compositions. But when he plays he plays very focused. The band is strong, Mark Boals voice very good for the material. The orchestration take this album in the Medieval atmospheres sometimes but it is something that you can expect from Yngwie. I return to this album from time to time, you can consider this one for sure, after the three or four Yngwie's albums I told you before (start with Live in Leningrad or Rising Force).
Hey, we all have our bad days.......2006-08-15
Malmsteen dropped the ball big time here. Having assembled a quality band for Eclipse he kept basically the same guys that cut that album with him. Everything should of been ready, he was signed to a major, had a worn in band of quality players and could still get himself on the cover of mags like Guitar World etc.
Alas this album starts off with an instrumental. I'm all for not sticking to prevailing formulas but what were they thinking? Luckily it's not a bad track. Things pick up with Dragonfly and Teaser which are more normal rockers. Then we get to the crux of the problem - the mid section of the album.
I dunno, I was such a one eyed yngwie devotee for so long it still hurts to have to say this - but much of this critically reviled album does indeed suck. Dragged out tunes with production that feels too 'soft' somehow and way too much emphasis on the keyboards. Some fans hated the string sections on this album but I never felt that was such a problem. For me, many of these tunes work in isolation such as No Mercy and Fire and Ice but put in seccession the whole just doesn't gel into a good album.
There are some tiny spots of glory for those willing to dig - the slower structures of some of the tracks is something a little new for Yngwie and follows on from slower tunes from Eclipse, the band is quality (Goran Edman has been so great on so many albums) and this album has that rarest of beasts - a Malsteen ballad that works in the form of I'm My Own Enemy, the lyrics of which were written by Goran in relation to his marriage breakdown. And the little instrumental Golden Dawn seques into Final Curtain which is a way cool rocker replete with thunder and rain sound affects.
Only for dedicated fans - of which I am one - but my love of the guys music must take 2nd place to my deisre to write honest and genuine reviews. This disc is a clunker.
In my humble opinion.......2006-06-15
This is the album that introduced me to Yngwie, so it ranks very high on my list. I've went back and forth and listened to his other releases, but non of them impressed me as much as Eclipse and Fire & Ice. I think these two are the highlight of his career, apart from Rising Force.
The common thread is Goran Edman, a vocalist with tremendous range, melody, and just simply enjoyable to listen to. Yngwie's albums, not known for their lyrical quality, made a step in a positive direction with Edman. Some reviewers mentioned Europe and John Norum. That's a keen observation given that Edman's first work with John Norum (ex-Europe guitarist) was on Total Control, 1987.
The nice thing about this album is that it covers a wide spectrum of genres. It might seem to some as unfocused metal, but to me it was refreshing to listen to different tempos and inflections, while still maintaining the powerhouse guitar in the driver seat and not overshadowing the song with endless solos. The vocals are an added improvement and the lyrical quality made a significant step forward.
I definitely recommend this, along with Eclipse, as an example of Malmsteen at the height of his career.
Label switch leads to poor album.......2006-03-26
I'm a big malmsteen fan, but I think it's obvious that this album was a big bump in the road for his career. At a time when kids were rebelling against the genre of metal, this album comes out with a hair band sound that is more prominent than the last 2 albums (and that's saying something). It is very "produced and polished" sounding, meaning that there are keyboard instruments from wall to wall, often overshadowing the guitar. Yes there are the guitar solos, but it seems like someone was trying to restrict malmsteen's technique into only his "spotlight moment" while the rest of the song just sounds like bad hair metal. This album was a sad day for heavy metal and neoclassical guitar, unlike all the malmsteen albums before and most of the ones after, which are five star neo classical extraviganzas. Get those other ones instead
An Improvement........2005-12-23
Elektra had picked up where Polydor left off. This album, despite the band for it's weakness, was resurrected by the amazing recording production from Elektra. The two tracks "Perpetual" & "Leviathan" are honorable mentions with a hint of "Yngwie Classic" and the rest is more medieval inspired but somehow still not "metal" enough. You'll have to find a more mellowing mood (which seldoms in metal music) to entice the whole album. "Fire & Ice" is a bit too long of an album and much commercialized under the label's terms, fortunately that was a short stint. The overall album does sound better than the last two (Odyssey & Eclipse from Polydor) due to the excellent production from Elektra and longtime Yngwie engineers/mixer Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero, they have never sounded better since Yngwie's departure from Polydor.

So 80s, but so GOOD!.......2006-05-08
This album is one of the most unique christian albums I dave ever listened to. It was made in the 80s, and the influences of the era's popular rock artists is definately appearent. Not being a fan of hair metal or keyboard driven 80s rock myself, I didn't think that I would like this album, but it totlly rocks! It's like a christian version of Van Halen's "jump". What makes the album work is Steve Camp's amazing keyboard playing. He has perfected that keyboard-driven rock sound. You would expect it to be really cheesy and aweful, but Steve Camp pulls it off. When you combine that with the amazing lyrics that both edify and convict, you have an absolute gem of an album. This is a rare album you will be happy you picked up.

Misunderstood & unfairly reviewed.......2007-03-04
Yes, roots reggae enthusiasts have labeled this album as 'uncharacteristic,' 'unexpected,' etc. However, most people just don't get this album...It's NOT "The Right Time" masterpiece, but how could the trio possibly be expected to re-create one of reggae music's all-time top albums?!?!
Although it ventures away from classic reggae-style music, listeners are asked to approach it with an open mind. It is NOT a sell-out album and it is NOT a bad album; in fact, it actually grows on you with each repeated listening...the trick is to get people to give it a try!
For thier second album (released in '77), the Mighty Diamonds traveled to New Orleans and hooked up with producer Allen Toussaint in order to try their hands at a different musical genre, and they seemed most sincere in their attempt. The experiment - New Orleans Funk - was critically mauled at the time of the release. But, listeners should judge this album for what it is, and NOT for what it is not!
The Diamonds re-crafted a couple of their previously recorded songs ("Back Weh Mafia" and "Country Living") a la N.O. Soul. In addition, they tried their hands at cover songs, such as "Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley" and "Tracks Of My Tears." Overall, the album has, in places, a touch of 'reggae feel' to it, but it is decidedly 'un-reggae' compared to the Diamonds' other roots reggae '70's releases.
Throughout music history, other, bigger musical acts (Beatles, Miles Davis, Dylan, just to name a few...) were heavily criticized at the time for embarking on new (and uncharacteristic) musical territory, but it didn't stop those artists from putting out challenging/creative/ground-breaking records. The Mighty Diamonds are no different - they should be given the same musical freedom to roam because taking chances sometimes involves putting oneself 'out there' musically, but from experimentation comes growth.
On "Ice On Fire," the Mighty Diamonds have achieved musical growth...And, in doing so, they also made a catchy New Orleans Soul/Funk album! Judge it for yourself!!
*Other great Mighty Diamonds albums include: "The Right Time," Tell Me What's Wrong," "Planet Earth," "Planet Mars Dub," and "Stand Up To Your Judgement."
The ICE has Melted!.......2004-03-14
This album was not what you'd expect from the Diamonds. Unfortunately, this album was not representative of the hardest substance on earth!
ice on fire.......2002-07-16
this alburm is the best one out of all mighty diamonds
alburms because it has tonight on it and country living
and it was popular in the 80's so i reccomend that this alburm
should be out on download.and free to listen to ,
not just sample's of it.and that's what i think of it the best.

Great Album.......2007-04-11
This is by far one of my favorite trance albums. If you're into trance, this is an absolute must have. Even if you're just a little interested, again, a must have.
