5 out of 5 stars My First.......2007-08-01

This was my first ALW album. It is a great introduction to some of the greatest music written in our times. But if you already have ALW cd's, this one is not really nessessay!

5 out of 5 stars Strongly recommend this CD.......2007-05-22

I was looking for the old version of this CD which is no longer available when I found this new version. I bought it and it is wonderful. Great selection of songs, very entertaining. If you love Andrew Lloyd Webber music you will not be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars the very best of Andrew LLOYD Weber .......2007-05-12

Good music by several artists of quality

5 out of 5 stars Best collection I've found!.......2007-01-10

This Broadway Collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber tunes is the best I've found. It contains a wide selection of songs from many of Webber's most popular and beloved theatre productions. As an added bonus (compared with other collections I've come across), the songs are performed by the artists we associate with them. For example, "Memory" from "Cats" is sung by the incomparable Betty Buckley. Another fine example is "Phantom of the Opera" dueted by Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford. Barbra Streisand even makes an appearance with "As If We Never Said Goodbye." This is a fantastic collection with something for everyone!

5 out of 5 stars A Broadway Lovers Delight........2006-01-15

5 out of 5 stars It's all right........2007-06-09

This is a good collection of 50 hits, b-sides and album tracks by The Dave Clark Five. The only US hit that is missing is "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby". There are a few UK hits missing, but that is understandable, since this collection was designed for the US market. The songs are in mono, with the exception of the last three songs which are in stereo. Most of the songs here are great, so I highly recommend getting this collection (if you can find it).

5 out of 5 stars Dave Clark Five - 'History Of The .....' (Hollywood Records).......2007-02-18

Review number 42. Total of fifty solid must-have British Invasion tracks of the Dave Clark Five's work on two CD's. Some say this five piece could HAVE easily been the Beatles. Tunes that'll never grow old are "Bits And Pieces", the rousing "Do You Love Me", "Anyway You Want It", "All Night Long", "I Miss You", the timeless "Catch Us If You Can", "Over And Over" (I've had female friends go nuts when I had this song on my answering machine) and "Maze Of Love". That's just for straters. I don't think there's a single bad song here. Most highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars REAL ROCK AND ROLL.......2006-12-20

HARD DRIVING ROCK AND ROLL THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. MIKE SMITH MAY BE THE GREATEST ROCK SINGER OF ALL TIME. "DO YOU LOVE ME" IS MY PERSONAL #1 R&R SONG OF ALL TIME. THEY MAY HAVE PUT TOO MANY OBSCURE AND LESSER KNOWN SONGS ON THIS COLLECTION, BUT I'M HAPPY THAT ALL THE BIG HITS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. WITH THEIR RECENT NOMINATION TO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME, PERHAPS A MODERN RENAISSANCE IS IN ORDER FOR THIS MOSTLY UNHERALDED ENGLISH INVASION BAND.

5 out of 5 stars This Makes Me Glad All Over!.......2006-12-05

The DC-5 charged onto the music scene in 1964 on the heels of the Beatles' first U.S. tour. The DC-5 gave the Beatles a run for their money and, as one of the pioneer groups during the British Invasion, the Beatles and DC-5 were considered top contenders in the music scene. (I still think the Beatles are the top band).

Still, the DC-5 do not disappoint. Standard classics like 1964's "Glad All Over," "Bits & Pieces," are sure to delight as are more obscure gems such as 1964's "No Time to Lose" and the early 1966 treasure, "Try Too Hard." I just love "Somebody Find a New Love," which is my favorite DC5 song. The opening of "At the Scene" sounds a lot like Paul Revere & the Raiders' "Just Like Me." Still, I love the Raiders and I love the DC5, so the whole thing works for me!

Don't try too hard to get this - just order it now and enjoy it. Gear up your cooooooool 1963 Ford Falcon and enjoy those Cool Classics! I love it!

5 out of 5 stars What an odd name..........2006-10-12

...for a superb band. African and White is one of my fave all time songs - mesmerising beat and bass riff. A truly creative duo proving that poms have the edge over the yanks by just that little bit. A compilation is your best starting point, but if you get the itch go right back to Difficult Shapes... album and feast your ears.

I recently got the DVD of a live set and found out they sound just as good. I wish Australia wasn't so far from their next gig...

4 out of 5 stars Very Impressive Collection.......2006-03-22

Just about every track off of this collection is great. You can hear alot of "Steely Dan" influence in their music. Most enjoyable tracks for me are "African & White", "No More Blue Horizons", Working With Fire & Steel", & "You Did Cut Me". If you have an open mind for various 80's music, this collection would be a good purchase.

4 out of 5 stars Unknown/unappreciated by US listeners.......2006-03-03

China Crisis was a great UK band. Unfortunately like many UK bands they got little rotation and airplay here in the states. The only problem with this collection is it's missing "Diary of a Hollow Horse", which is a beautifully melodic "Best of" song.

4 out of 5 stars But where is Volume 2?.......2005-05-01

In Europe, three is a volume 2 to this collection with hits like "A Golden Handshake for Every Daughter", "Some People I know To Lead Fansastic Lives" and the classic "The Gates of Door to Door" (this was the theme song to the VH1 show "Sunday Brunch" back in the 80s).

But the 1st disc is awesome. One of the few "best of" collections that actually is the best of their work.

4 out of 5 stars Not quite the VERY best.......2003-06-09

Very good but not BEST only because of the glaring omission of "Highest High". It was the first Crisis tune that got any recognition on NY alternative radio due to it's alterna-pop accessibility for the general masses. It was the song that got me listening to them. So good to see that there are other people out there who appreciate this band.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2005-11-02

This collection represents Jose Van Dam at his best. The two arias from Faust are a little low for him but he sings them with great musicality. The aria from Mireille which is a rarity is sung brilliantly. Mr. Van Dam gets up to those high notes so easily. This collection mostly contains French Repertoire which was ideal for his voice. Several of the arias are rarely performed and I think should be performed more often. The few German selections are very effective as well. I think he was one of the finest Brahms Requiem soloists of all time.

Mr. Van Dam is still singing well at age 65. I think he is one of the finest singers and musicians because everything he sings means something to him internally. That is something that defines a great artist for me. I highly recommend this collection because it is a tool for singers to learn how to pronounce French properly. The diction is so clear that you can practically write it down.

    5 out of 5 stars The artistry and allure of a French nightingale.......2007-06-03

    This is one of the rare cases when the title of a CD matches completely its content. The Very Best of Mady Mesplé showcases the amazing talent and legacy of the beautiful lady that was the star coloratura soprano of the Paris Opera during the second part of the twentieth century. The first CD is dedicated to opera arias, and only a hearing of the first number, The Bell Song from Delibes' Lakmé, gives us a summary of what makes Mesplé so special. There is hardly a more musical or virtuosic version than the one presented here (from her complete recording of the opera). The legend is presented by the soprano with engaging interest and great attention to the words. The bell refrains are amazingly fast, with diminutive stacatti, a great trill and ravishing high notes. The final cadenza is very exciting, ending with a firm, beautiful high E that soars triumphally over the orchestra. All these qualities are present when she is singing Juliette, Philine, Ophélie and Olympia. Particularly on this last aria she conveys in her voice the illusion of hearing an automaton instead of human being and there is no ornamentation except on an interpolated high Eflat at the end. It is remarkable how Mesplé always is musical with her ornamentation. The Italian arias that end the first Cd are very pretty, even though they are not as successful, given the distinctive sound of the soprano, more in her element with the nuances of her native language than the legato singing that is proper to the belcanto style. However, the arias are still lovely, specially Una voce poco fa, where Mesplé showcases not only her high register but also the lower part of her voice by singing the first part of "Io sono docile" exactly the way it is written. CD number 2 takes the listener to a totally different aspect of Mady Mesplé's artistry with incursions into contemporary music, a Baroque cantata, French art song and French operetta. The Quartet no.2, for soprano, violin, viola and cello is a very demanding piece where the soprano becomes another instrument: dissonant and difficult intervals are required in all the registers of the voice. The soprano succeeds on this as well as the motet by Vivaldi, a totally different number of equal difficulty. A great part of the CD is then dedicated to songs by Poulenc, Hahn and Satie, where the singer perfectly conveys the mélodie style with her very distinctive sound, that can convey all degrees of emotion, from innocence to worldliness. Specially remarkable are Poulenc's Le chemin de l'amour, Hahn's Si mes vers avait des ailes and Satie' La diva de l'empire. The final part of the CD is dedicated to French operetta arias, a very important part of Mesplés discography. All the selections are a delight. It is worth noticing that she recorded the virtousic aria from Massé's Les noces de Jeanette in 1981, in the later part of her career and there is no difference in the sound and technique from Mesplé's debut recordings. The CD ends in a high note (literally and metaphorically) with a delightful waltz by Johann Strauss where she ends with a stunning Aflat over high C. In summary, this is a superb presentation of the career of Mady Mesplé, a singer who was not only one of the most stunning coloraturas of all time, but also a gifted and versatile artist.

    5 out of 5 stars High note feast :).......2006-10-02

    I love this set. Her voice is similar to that of Pons, but this is in clear stereo sound! And her highest notes don't sound like whistle tones! The Bell song won me over; Sutherland is still my favorite singer, but she did not have the acuti of Mesple. Very good listening here.It is all so effortless - that final note on CD 2 (A-flat above high c''') is astonishing!

    5 out of 5 stars Simply beautiful high notes.......2006-08-14

    I feel ashamed of myself. Really. For all the years I have been listening to pons and sutherland and callas and the more recent dessay and jo, I never really paid attention to Mady Mesple. I really wished I had. Her voice is so pure and bell-like similar to Pons but with a much richer middle range and with the most impressive solid low range I have heard on a coloratura sopranos. It is a tragedy that she was over shadowed by the coloratura powerhouse which is Joan Sutherland. Her high notes are to die for and really it would hard to find anyone who can hit them like her. She may not have Pons agility but the lightness and tone of her high e flat can certainly go head to head with pon's and may possibly be a tiny step above pon's which up until this point didn't think was possible.

    5 out of 5 stars Mady Mesplé's wonderful album.......2005-08-30

    I felt a sense of awe listening to Mady Mesplé's voice. Of the two CD set, I much prefered CD #1 as #2 was a bit too modern for me. #1 has many of my favorite soprano arias, and Mlle. Mesplé did them all justice.

    5 out of 5 stars A glorious bit of memorabilia from a sadly forgotten soprano.......2005-05-10

    Mady Mesple is one of the best kept secrets of the music industry today. Of course, when you're singing around the same time as Joan Sutherland you're rather likely to be overshadowed. Still, Mesple offers a wealth of musical goods that even Sutherland never could have given. Not only is her coloratura technique virtually flawless, she (gasp)inflects every word she sings with great sensitivity to the text, never losing grasp of the character she is striving to portray. Of course, she does have a rather controvertial aspect to her voice that many listeners may object to, As a classic french coloratura, her vibrato is VERY fast, fluttering tremulously at all times but never getting in the way of her pitch. Still, her high notes are exceptional (the second CD ends with a glorious high A flat) and the fresh, girlish beauty of her tone is unsurpassed even today (my apologies to Natalie Dessay). Be sure not to miss her Bell Song, by FAR the best I have ever heard! Her voice has a crystaline quality that is PERFECT for that particular aria. Her Doll Song is rather weak, but her mad scene from Hamlet MORE than makes up for it (can we say eight seconds of beautiful high F harp?!!). The second CD offers Mady in a more matura phase of her life, singing sensuously in more traditional art songs before going on to challenging operetta arias. And you won't want to miss the violin, viola, cello, soprano quartet that opens the CD!!! Let's just say you're in for a surprise... this CD is a must-have!

    5 out of 5 stars Sounds GREAT..........2006-11-16

    I am going to review many Time-Life items that I have purchased over the years - Sounds of the 70's, Sounds of the 70's (Take Two), Legends of Rock & Roll, numerous 60's CDs & 50's CDs. The recordings are excellent and I know all the tunes - most have at least 18 songs. I would recommend any of Time-Life's compilations to anyone, who is looking for a great CD with alot of songs, we all know. The only complaint I have is that the CDs should have been maximized on the 50's & 60's selections. All in all, a very good purchase...
