5 out of 5 stars Excellent performances of one of our greatest symphonists........2004-04-28

The posthumous fate of Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) has not always been a kind one. After his death, his music passed through a prolonged period of being deeply unfashionable. Stodgy, tweedy Vaughan Williams--who could get into that?! But, like Elgar, whose music is also cast in a stuffy, stereotypically "British" light, there is much more to Vaughan Williams than one might think.

First, the man was a superb melodist. He was not a mere tunesmith, to be sure, but crafted works that are primarily conceived in terms of melodic development, and this makes his work immediately appealing. Second, he was a highly original thinker who used his colossal technique (he had a doctorate in composition and studied with Ravel) for surprisingly modern ends. His music can at times sound like a mixture of Bach and Debussy, but it is always unmistakably Vaughan Williams. He had a penchant for modal counterpoint, and his streams of parallel chords place his work squarely in the 20th century.

Vaughan Williams' unique talent for scoring is evident throughout this excellent recording of his 7th and 8th symphonies. The "Sinfonia antartica" is based upon a film score he supplied for a film about the explorer Robert Scott. It is by turns brooding and wistful--an ideal introduction to this magnificent composer. Symphony No. 8 is a more eclectic affair, brighter in temperament overall, but a rewarding example of the surprises that lurk around every corner of RVW's work.

Was he the greatest symphonist of the 20th century? The jury's still out. He certainly created a body of symphonic work that is second to none in its richness, diversity, and consistency. Mahler, Sibelius, and Shostakovich are usually considered the most important symphonists of the last century, but for those who seek other fare, you can't do better than Vaughan Williams.

The "Antarctica Symphony" portion of this disk has been called "the best digital recording ever made", and is often recommended for use as a demonstration disk on high-end audio equipment. One listen and you'll understand why...this is truly a sonic marvel.

Not a bad accomplishment for budget-price label Naxos!

5 out of 5 stars A Tale of Two Eighths.......2001-07-30

I think many listeners (and reviewers) will focus more on the seventh symphony; so I leave the seventh to them, although I greatly enjoy this recording of the seventh, and am even modestly grateful that the recited superscriptions are included at the end, where they do not interrupt the sequence of the symphony itself.

The Vaughan Williams eighth symphony exhibits a few interesting parallels with the eighth symphony of the composer whose oeuvre established the "rule of nine" in the writing of symphonies: Beethoven.

Beethoven's Opus 93 strikes some listeners as both "a step backwards" from the rambunctious and expansive seventh (with its electrifying "double scherzo" and achingly intense theme-and-variations slow movement), and a mystification before the grandiose Opus 125. It is something of a look back towards Haydn; it is charming, and elegant, and seems to do entirely without the dramatic musical rhetoric of which Beethoven's third, fifth and seventh symphonies provide ample and potent illustration. It is the sort of thing which "musical progressivists" say we composers cannot do; you can almost hear the phrase spoken, "you can never go back."

Yet, in his eighth symphony, Beethoven succeeds, marvelously and musically; he does, and does not, "go back." Vaughan Williams does something of the same, in his eighth. Even though Vaughan Williams' seventh was composed originally as film music, and then adapted as a symphony in his `cycle' (or perhaps because of this), the eighth seems like a deliberate step away from musical dramtization, and into the realm of abstract, `pure' music, a music which functions on its own, not driven by any extra-musical `program.'

Now, the `point' to which Beethoven does and does not go back, is Haydn; the generation before, and a composer with whom Beethoven had taken lessons. The `point' to which Vaughan Williams does and does not go back, is musical Impressionism, and specifically Ravel. Vaughan Williams had taken some lessons with Ravel; and the `return to pure music' in the eighth is doubly apt here, as part of Ravel's Impressionism is a sort of `romantic neo-classicism' exemplified in "Le Tombeau de Couperin" and the piano concertos.

That Vaughan Williams made his eighth with the Beethoven-parallel in mind, seems to me confirmed in the opening of the second movement. Vaughan Williams' all-winds scherzo begins with too much of a `metronomic' gesture for this to be coincidental. This parallel does not become burdensome, because the `metronomic piece' functions differently in the two eighth symphonies: it is the slow movement in the Beethoven Op. 93, followed by the lovely Menuet and Trio (good heavens! didn't Beethoven realize how passé this was?), while in Vaughan Williams' eighth it serves as a scherzo followed by a richly beautiful slow movement for strings alone (in timbral balance of the string-less scherzo).

Where Vaughan Williams `does not go back' is, about two-thirds into the first movement, where, after some moments of trumpet-&-string doublings which seemed to evoke the sound-world of Prokofiev, the relatively smooth calm of most of the movement yields to the sort of orchestral menace normally associated with Shostakovich. This fury lasts but a moment, and gives way again to the idyllic calm of the opening material, but here is a musical point at which you wonder if it is really possible to `go back' ....

The last movement of the Vaughan Williams' eighth is bright and resplendent. It is almost mis-labeled; `toccata' traditionally means a `touched' piece, a keyboard work with figurations more characteristic of two hands at a keyboard, rather than a large ensemble of single-line instruments. But Vaughan Williams has a history of adapting the idea of the Toccata, as in his Toccata Marziale for band; and my musicological quibble does not get in the way of the piece, which reminds me more of a jubilant carillon.

4 out of 5 stars Best "Sinfonia Antartica" Currently Available.......2000-10-24

The classic recorded performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Sinfonia Antartica" (completed 1952) is Sir Adrian Boult's on EMI from the mid-1960s; a slightly later performance on RCA led by André Previn boasted superior sound but misjudged by prefacing each movement with spoken versions of RVW's epigraphs. (Thus interrupting the musical continuity in a score that depends heavily on a seamless transition from one mood to another.) Bernard Haitink (also on EMI) issued an "Antartica" about fifteen years ago, very close to Boult's in merit, but - in this day of classical-music démorale - "no longer available." Haitink's countryman, Kees Bakels, has "burned" a CD cycle of the RVW symphonies for Naxos, with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, and one entry therein couples the Eighth with the "Antartica" (ordinally the Seventh). As James Day notes in his book on RVW, the "Antartica" calls on the largest orchestra that the composer ever stipulated, with parts for organ, wind-machine, an enormous percussion battery, and wordless soprano-solo with female choral vocalise. The "Antartica" shares with the "Pastoral" and the Sixth the evocation of inhuman nature and of human courage pitted (heroically but vainly) against such nature. Boult grasped this aspect of the work, but the limited capacity of mid-60s analogue recording took its toll on the realization of his understanding. (The vinyl pressings also posed an obstacle. I owned the American Angel pressing as well as an EMI import; neither struck me as adequate.) Bakels, like Boult, sees that this is a grim account, a genuine sequel to the tragic E-Minor Symphony of 1947. Notice how he takes the crescendi in the Prelude, with the great climax at 1.50: It's truly "majestic," as the score says it should be; the ensuing Lento, with prominent xylophone and wordless voices, sounds very icy and haunted indeed. The Scherzo presents the danger of sounding too comical; Bakels avoids this pitfall. Of the symphony's core, the "Landscape" (Third Movement), Bakels makes just the inhuman, implacable, frigid monster that RVW must have had in mind, although the organist (beginning at 8.30) does not achieve quite the hard-edged quality that I recall from Boult. The Eighth Symphony is a less monumental score, but possesses a playful seriousness all its own. The Finale can become a welter of sound, as it did unfortunately in the Boult/EMI; but here it sounds forth in all its polyphonic glory, with the tuned percussion caught with great definition by the engineers.

4 out of 5 stars Pure music.......1999-07-26

As with Beethoven each of Vaughan Williams' nine symphonies has a distinct character of its own. the eighth is the most lighthearted one, ranging in mood form energetic to festive to downright comical, with a measure of gentle melancholy thrown in for contrast.The 2nd and 3rd movements- a funny march for winds and a beautifull cavatina for strings- show VW at his best.So what if he does not grab fate by the throat in this symphony? This is music in its best and purest form. The other work on the CD-Symphonia Antarctica- has its moments but it remains essentially what it is: a glorified movie-score.Director Kees Bakels proves again that he is one of the best Vaughan Williams interpreters of this time.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome musical score........2007-05-29

More video games should have well directed soundtracks like this. Right up there w/ the ranks of the Halo franchise.

5 out of 5 stars Unique, captivating, fantastic.......2007-03-21

By far the best Score for any video game or movie I have ever come across (with perhaps 2 possible exceptions) This score matches beutifully with what the gamemakers were trying to create, an emotionally touching storyline, and increidble breathtaking gameplay.

Lets face it, anything Orson Scott Card is affiliated with is bound to be outstanding.
I loved the use of Latin and Italian in the score as well, extraordinarily nice touch.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent buy.......2006-06-15

Not many games, or movies, seem to put forth a real effort into their soundtrack. This disc starts off great and tapers down a bit since it would be unrealistic to expect the entire disc to be awesome. Still, the first half of the disk is great while the second half is good, which in fairness had to hold back the 5th star. I would still recommend this disk to anyone. It has power were many discs have mediocraty. I know a few who dont quite share my taste in this disc but agree it is a good-great background music selection for doing work.

5 out of 5 stars Stunning.......2005-11-20

I usually do not write reviews, but I had to make an exception of this one. It is exceptionally stunning and beautiful. No other game music I have heard can match this one. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Best Game Soundtrack in a long time.......2005-10-19

While Halo, Halo 2, and Star Wars all have an excellent soundtrack, I was blown away with this one. The Introduction music on the main screen of the game is amazing, so is the game. The soundtrack's orchestra score is one of the best that I've heard in a long time, and it is amazing to listen to. The music was made very well, and I enjoyed listening to it.

5 out of 5 stars Corporon does it again!.......2003-08-27

Yet another success from the Klavier Wind recording project! As a member of a university wind ensemble, I greatly appreciate Klavier's dedication to recording new music for wind ensemble, a previously neglected medium. The selection of pieces on this recording is good and Corporon's interpretations are excellent. I have never heard such a flawless performance of "Lincolnshire Posy" which is quite difficult standard band literature. I was amazed by the "Concerto for Solo Percussionist." The composer, William Childs melds classical and jazz styling in a very effective way and the solo work is jaw-dropping. And, of course everyone will love "Cartoon" by Paul Hart. This piece brought me back to the classic cartoons of my childhood. This CD is definitely a must-have for anyone interested in wind band music.

5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended North Texas recording.......2000-05-23

Klavier Records, with its extensive holdings spanning a wide range of recorded music for various ensembles has never failed to please, especially with its wind band recordings. Of all of its Cincinnati and North Texas recordings to date, "Wildflowers" is definitely one of the best. The disc's contents display both of the Klavier Wind Recording Project's primary goals - the identification and preservation of the standard repetoire and the promotion of contemporary music.

Opening with self-taught composer Ernst Toch's delightful "Spiel," the clarity and balance of the North Texas Wind Symphony is readily apparent. Composed in 1926 for a series of festivals organized by Paul Hindemith, Toch would later go on to win the Pulitzer Prize for his "Third Symphony" in 1956. The first of Eastman faculty-member Joseph Schwantner's trilogy of wind band works, "and the mountains rising nowhere," follows. Having taken its name from a poem by Carol Adler, the work is scored for amplified piano, fifty percussion intruments, winds, brass, and string bass. Glass crystals can be heard as well, contributing to the ethreal sonorities of this highly interesting work.

One of the monuments of 20th century band literature, native-Australian Percy Grainger's "Lincolnshire Posy" is given an excellent performance here by North Texas. The work itself, described by Grainger as a collection of "musical wildflowers" is based on folksongs that he collected during his travels in Lincolnshire, England between the years 1905 and 1906. Each movement is intended not only to present the folk material, but to weave each individual singer's personality (those that Grainger encountered) into the settings as well. While many recordings exist of "Lincolnshire Posy," including the popular Eastman Wind Ensemble/Frederick Fennell rendition, a certain inherent beauty lies within the North Texas sound - lush and full with a dark, sonorous quality during every band tutti.

International Sudler and ABA Ostwald prize-winner Dana Wilson contributes his 1992 "Dance of the New World," a work that in the composer's words "...captures the spirit of awakening and burgeoning that resulted from his [Christopher Columbus'] journey." Employing Latin American elements, this nine-minute compostion contrasts nicely with the Grainger that precedes it. For those interested, although I have not actually heard it, Wilson's award-winning "Piece of Mind," a work highly touted by critics, has been recorded by Corporon and the Cincinnati Conservatory Wind Symphony on the Klavier disc Made in America (KCD 11051). USC alumnus and jazz pianist William Child's "Concerto for Solo Percussionist," commissioned and performed here by renowned artist Steve Houghton features various percussion instruments in its three movements, concluding with an unabashedly jazzy Presto for drum set. With lots of rhytmic interplay between soloist and band and moments of serenity and reflection within its seventeen minutes, I was able to appreciate the work more and more with repeated hearings.

To conclude this superlative disc, English composer and TV tune-writer Paul Hart's "Cartoon" brings Wildflowers to a rousing finish. Inspired by cartoons and the music behind them, the listener is led through a genuinely entertaining musical romp. With its big, Gershwin-like main theme, "Cartoon" holds universal appeal for all music-lovers. Too bad Carl Stalling himself didn't pen his creative work into a band piece; nobody did it better.

If you're looking to buy one band CD, make it this one. I can't emphasize its quality, variety, and aesthetic value enough. North Texas turns in excellent performances here under Eugene Corporon. With the huge array of classical recordings and products out there, it's often difficult to choose something worth your money. Nothing is more frustrating than shelling out 17 or 18 bucks only to find that you've brought home a snore, or worse yet (for you band aficionados), an unimaginative rehash of band music that should've been left on library shelves. You won't feel jipped or bored at all with Wildflowers, one of the true jewels in all commercially-recorded band music.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderfully played collection of music!.......1999-02-16

This is a collection of music superbly played by very gifted artest in music. I have played this music and nothing is like the quality of music heard on this CD. A must by for High School teachers and anyone who loves the classics of Wind Band music. Eugene Corporon is a genious for putting this collection of music together. I give it major props.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic collection of old and new band literature!.......1998-10-21

I picked this CD up in order to have a recording of some of the pieces I had played while a member of the University of Nebraska Wind Ensemble. I was pleased to see three of my favorites listed on one CD: Lincolnshire Posy, ...and the mountains rising nowhere, and Cartoon. However, the other selections are equally worthy of the listener's time. This is a great compilation of traditional (Lincolnshire Posy, Spiel), modern (Dance of the New World, Concerto for Solo Percussionist), and cutting edge (Cartoon, ...and the mountains rising nowhere) wind band literature. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone seeking wind band music, whether a beginner or a long-time aficionado.

    5 out of 5 stars Good stuff.......2003-10-30

    This album is a must for a quiet evening with that special someone. It is sensual and romantic and there's a great mix of old and new. A+

    5 out of 5 stars Lovely and romantic!.......2003-10-28

    I love this CD, often putting it on repeat for a romantic evening! I especially like track number ten, since I wrote it as a teenaged girl full of passionate dreams. I am thrilled to be on a recording with Pachelbel and Beethoven and I love Mark Chait's beautiful arrangement of my song! Though all the pieces on this album are different, they flow together gracefully and create a soft, alluring background sound. Two thumbs up!

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2001-09-06

    For the beginner or the avid classical music listener, this collection is amazing.Diverse but tranquil pieces, collected to set the perfect mood.

    2 out of 5 stars A Mess.......2006-08-25

    There was huge potential in this project, but it's really not been realised.

    They dogmatically attempt to reproduce notes and harmonies from the songs 'as is' rather than rework creatively to achieve an overall flow. Songs are also over-complicated rather than seeking a purity of sound and harmony. This really jars, as this is where Massive Attack excel. It also feels over-produced (trying to make up for poor composition?).

    I was hoping for something intelligently re-worked to fit the instruments used, such as Christopher O'Riley did superbly with Radiohead. Instead, this seems to be cashing in on the name rather than getting to the heart of the music.

    3 out of 5 stars Nice, although it's not Massive's way..........2005-10-09

    The intention is good, but it is clear that Massive Attack has not been involved in this project. They are all good covers of Massive Attack, but I miss their style in the songs...
