When Wagner set the Ring to music, he intended the orchestra to act in the fashion of a chorus from a classic Greek tragedy--setting the mood and commenting on the action. In order to allow a nonverbal musical line to reflect on the plot, Wagner developed a psychologically and musically complex symbology to communicate his thoughts to the listener. From the beginning the Ring has spawned numerous written commentaries on the relationships of the motif structure, but by using examples from the Decca Ring recording, Deryck Cooke's thoughtful spoken commentary is by far the most accessible guide for either the fledgling Ring enthusiast or the seasoned veteran. --Christian C. Rix

4 out of 5 stars Ring introduction critique.......2006-11-04

This is very worthwhile, at the same time it requires time, patience and attention, but it does provide some keys to better enjoyment of a sensational piece of music.

5 out of 5 stars FASCINATING STUDY FOR NOVICES AND AFFICIONADOS ALIKE.......2006-08-16

This may look an intimidating, daunting and dull prospect - a 2+ hour lecture on the motifs in the Ring. Don't be put off. Whether you're a relative novice to the Ring and want to find out what it's all about, more experienced with a desire to understand the composer's methods better or an afficionado who thinks he knows it all inside out, there is great pleasure as well as elucidation to be had from this set. Originally made to accompany the Decca Solti Ring, it contains a multitude of musical illustrations taken from those recordings as well as some specially recorded by Solti just for this Introduction.

It wasn't the first time this has been tried. The famous HMV sets from the late 20's also included recorded examples of over 100 motifs. (These, by the way, are available as part of the Pearl reissue of those wonderful HMV recordings). What that set lacked was the wonderful insights as well as the approachability of the talk by Deryck Cooke. Cooke was a great and much missed musicologist - a Mahler expert responsible for the performing edition of the Tenth Symphony still most played today, a fascinating explorer into the nature of music's basic building-blocks in his excellent book, The Language of Music, and an inspiring and elucidating critic of Wagner's work as shown by the fascinating book he left unfinished at his death, I Saw the World End.

On these CDs he does much more than list the leitmotifs and identify them as calling-cards. He shows the amazingly integrated and organic growth of the musical material that Wagner uses throughout his vast work. He demonstrates how motifs can change their sense and meaning as they evolve through the drama. And he shows how the complex combinations of motifs can radically advance both the musical and the dramatic narrative of the piece. There are even places where he corrects the misinterpretation of some of the motifs that had become ingrained from early commentators' false labels.

This set should engage and enlighten anyone with an interest in Wagner's huge and inexhaustible tetralogy. Do give it a try - no matter how far down the road to Wagnerianism you are.

4 out of 5 stars Welcome back to a classic analysis.......2006-05-28

Deryck Cooke's lecture series upon THE RING is almost as much a classic by now as the Solti RING cycle, with which it was originally issued on LP, and from which it derives its musical examples. The difference is that whereas the Solti RING has been continuously in print ever since it was completed, and was among the first opera sets to benefit from the CD revolution, the Cooke analysis was for long almost totally unobtainable. Now we have it back. It should be welcomed: it is a classic. Cooke's mellow, deep voice with the hint of a Celtic burr - which made him ideal on BBC radio - patiently explains Wagner's melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic metamorphoses to such good effect that if you own this recording, you really require no other RING analysis. (A pity about the abrupt beginnings and endings of too many vocal and orchestral illustrations, though.) Musicology lost a fine, sensitive thinker with Cooke's premature death in 1976.

If all you want is dilettantish baby food, there are plenty of dumbed-down Wagner commentaries on the market, stretching from Anna Russell's famous monologue (which doesn't pretend to be anything other than a parody aimed at morons) to the latest standard-issue "Wagner-was-a-Nazi-boo-hiss" feuilleton (which, unfortunately, does). Without reasonable score-reading skill you will find Cooke useless, however diligently you have ploughed through Marx, Jung, Freud, or other gurus purportedly relevant to THE RING. Cooke expects you to use your brains and your musical sense. Quelle horreur. At today's BBC his "elitism" would render him unemployable.

5 out of 5 stars Essential for Understanding Wagner's Ring Cycle.......2006-05-15

I originally bought this set on vinyl in the early 70s when I discovered the Ring in college. I studied the records and booklet assiduously, and after about three run-throughs I finally started getting it. Wow! Thirty-five years later, I still remember Mr. Cooke's analyses of various motive families, and I don't know how I could have mastered and loved the Ring without him. I now own this set on CD and listen again on the rare occasion of attending a Ring performance. My wife calls me a "Ring nut," but of course I'm nuts about many other things as well.

Bottom line, buy this set and study it if the Ring has captivated you as it has countless others. The presentation is dry, but sticking with it brings measureless and longlasting rewards.

4 out of 5 stars Very Functional.......2006-03-19

This CD set is excellent for what it sets out to do: present the leitmotives of the Ring according to their relationship to one another and their role in developing both characters and plotlines. Deryck Cooke's lectures on each motive are very insightful, very helpful at cueing the listener into the semantic aspect of Wagner's orchestral writing. The one drawback is that the musical examples are a bit jarring. Without fade-ins or -outs, the engineering is quite barbaric. And though the orchestra was, I believe, conducted by Solti, and is beautifully done, the vocal performances can be quite unpleasant. Point being: this is not background music, but in accomplishing what it sets out to do, it is very successful, and I don't know of anything else like it.

On Music for Two, banjo wizard Béla Fleck and stand-up bass maestro Edgar Meyer effortlessly sail through a challenging program that includes compositions by Bach, a sonata by Henry Eccles, a Miles Davis tune, and a number of self-composed finger twisters. The amazing thing about this varied selection is not its eclecticism--which is only to be expected with these two--but that it all blends together so seamlessly. Fleck's jazz-tinged compositions (like "The Lake Effect") and Meyer's bluegrass-inspired tunes (like "Wishful Thinking") sit so comfortably next to Bach's baroque jewels and Davis's cool jazz that it makes you question the entire of concept of musical classification. (In fact, the Bach preludes, inventions, and partitas translate so well to the banjo/bass arrangements, you have to wonder if old JSB might not have had a bit of bluegrass in his soul.) Music for Two was recorded live at a series of 2001 concerts, where Fleck and Meyer proved conclusively that the banjo and the bass were capable of remarkable subtlety and not just twang and boom. --Michael John Simmons

5 out of 5 stars A Must Have.......2007-04-25

These two really sound good together. If you're not so impressed with the music when you first hear it (I don't know if that's possible), check out the DVD that comes with it. You will gain such an appreciation for the music that's being played. Watch out for the guy making the banjo jokes. This CD is really an incredible work, I can't say it enough. Very relaxing music.

4 out of 5 stars Broad Spectrum Virtuosity.......2007-04-23

This album runs the gamut of styles and genre. It is hard to get bored when a musical turn is but a few notes away. The two musicians integrate their instruments with incredible skill. I hate to give it a four star rating. The music is worth the 5. The loooooong, live applause tracks detract from the album. The asides by the musicians are sometimes hard to hear. Minor aggravations aside,this album plays frequently, very frequently, in our home,car, iPods, etc.

5 out of 5 stars Cool Pairing for Meyer/Fleck Fans.......2007-01-02

I've seen both Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck live (unfortunately not together) and I really think this album just captures the magic of their live shows: I can almost see them in my living room together! For those not so familiar with the music of one or both the inclusion of classical tunes with those composed by Meyer/Fleck and other contemporary songwriters is a cool drink of water. Music for Two is a good intro to the world of cozy bluegrass.

5 out of 5 stars Bela Fleck + Edgar Meyer = strange mixture .......2006-11-10

Bela Fleck is one of the my jazz favorites... And hi with combination called Edgar Meyer are... great music!!!

5 out of 5 stars Virtuosity Knows No Musical Boundaries.......2006-10-22

Béla Fleck & Edgar Meyer are both extraordinarily accomplished musicians who spend much of their time in very different worlds: Fleck in his newgrass space and Meyer in a more classical mode. But each has travelled in the other's territory before, and on this CD they connect around more genres than you can shake a stick at. In addition to their own compositions they tackle many of their joint favorites. The affection shows in the passion of the playing and the obvious camaraderie. And the accompanying DVD is a treat. Don't miss this one.

I love this soundtrack! If you have seen the movie, then hearing the songs, you will remember what part of the movie it is from. There are little audio clips from the movie too. Only thing I'm dissapointed about is the theme song and the Wolfmother song from the trailers, aren't on here.

5 out of 5 stars What do you mean "Where's No. 1"?.......2006-10-18

Frankly, I've always thought this was Christian's most progressive album. It blends the elements far better than I think all of his other ones (including "Live at Tonic"), and I think it's particularly special here because this was very, very early in Christian's development in sticking his feet into different territory. Listen to Divergence and Little Sunflower and pretty much the way Christian blends with Chick Corea and Jack DeJohnette throughout. I thought (and still think) this CD's pretty incredible.

3 out of 5 stars Where's Number One?.......2006-02-02

A stellar lineup of players, but nothing special here from Christian McBride on bass. Three tunes in particular do shine for him: Miyako, Grove, and the perenial Little Sunflower.

5 out of 5 stars How can u go wrong with this guy?.......2000-02-03

Christian is the man, this a great album. Throw guys like Chick Corea into the mix and there is no way you can lose.

When we think about 1920s Broadway musicals now, what comes to mind are frothy Gershwin tunes and a little something called Show Boat perhaps. But the 1920s were also the golden age of the operetta on the Great White Way, and most of them were written by Mitteleuropean men such as the Hungarian-born Sigmund Romberg. So don't expect wild swing in Romberg's The Student Prince (which opened in 1924 as The Student Prince of Heidelberg). The music has more in common with The Merry Widow than with jazz-age follies. This 1952 recording (the first of the complete score) stars City Opera's Robert Rounseville in the title role and the Metropolitan Opera's Dorothy Kirsten as his love interest, a waitress named Kathie. Romberg's ambitious score has a lovely sweep and displays plenty of romantic panache (check out the Finale of Act 2 for a brilliant example of Romberg's melodic skills). --Elisabeth Vincentelli

I've heard quit a few tributes to IM, but this one really blows. The music just has no dynamics, and sometimes even sounds out of tune. If u want to waste some money on classic instruments performing IM songs i recommend that you buy THe Piano Tribute, but do not even bother with this one. It is a rather experimental attempt to play already perfected music and doesn't even give you that satisfaction that you might have had if you are a Metallica fan and have listened to Apocalyptica's tribute to them.

This is the worst cd ever. well if you pretend its not iron maiden songs being destroyed, i guess it may be acceptable. A waste of money. i will probably toss it out with the rest of the trash. This is my opinion. DO NOT BUY THIS CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Listen to the warnings of others PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a big fan of almost all "String Quartet Tribute to -" 's, but this one is an exception. The arrangements are rather poor and on some tracks, the instruments are slightly out of tune - which is really distracting. They add a set of bongos / congos into the mix, and it feels really foreign and out of place. As much as I love this genre and Iron Maiden, this tribute really does justice to neither.

5 out of 5 stars imperfections of the page piano music.......2005-01-13

John Cage wrote piano music all his life, it was a genre that you can say was like a template for his creativity for whatever-wherever his fascinations and intellectual pursuits placed him there was piano music that followed. The early music is dominated by the interest in pure beauty, the sustainability of tones, inside and outside the piano. It was Henry Cowell that suggested the idea of placing nuts and bolts, woodscrews, erasers and rubber paraphanalia in between the piano strings to alter or dull or transmogrify its tones to render a gamelan-like timbre. The music here of these disks are the various "Music for" sort of generic in import, and that is what the pianist approach seems to be, in that there doesn't seem to be a wide pallette, a wide spectrum of variability. Some of these pieces were simply dots reiterated from imperfections Cage found on the a piece of paper,(the places without imperfections were silence). So here we have the equivalent of a "readymade" I suppose for musical composition only with a high degree of abstraction. Remember that the innovativeness in musical graphics was a high point within the avant-garde, the post-war; even Stockhausen dabbled in graphic procedures, for Boulez this realm was much too arbitrary so Boulez theoreticalized it with the help of Mallarme's Blue-Unbound "Livre", and alea, or the throwing of the dice,where Cage consulted the I-Ching to obtain readings for his works as in the "Music of Changes" also available within this set, not here but another installment.

On these disks however there is an incredible interest in the mixtures, and promuligations the linear richness of musical events that proceed from the struck piano tone (normal) to one that is muted with the flesh of the finger or palm, to plucked string(s) inside the piano box, to glissandi again within the inside strings of the piano. The problem I found was the lengths of these tones (which are not specifically notated), but graphically notated (meaning it is simply a black rhythmless unbeamed dot on the page)all seem to be the same length,or nearly so in projection; this is what strikes the ear as being so, so the music has a kinsa of sameness, a boredom of sorts sets. Now this music is not suppose to dazzle the imagination, it is simple to be like walking in a Zen garden forgetting the atrocities of the neoliberal order on the globe, simply one mind with timbre, so where is the "freedom", relative that is, for tones that are "free" in one country cannot be so in another.) Still I found all this music interesting to ponder if the experience is like simply looking for inperfections on the window glass pane of the ice formations there.

    4 out of 5 stars A strong collection of Cage's two-piano music.......2003-11-30

    This disc, containing Cage's complete music for two pianos, is roughly equally split between music for prepared piano from the 1940s and music for unprepared piano from the 1980s. It gives a good summary of two of Cage's major periods, in fine performances from Steffen Schleiermacher and Josef Christof.

    A Book of Music was written for the virtuoso Gold and Fitzdale piano duo. This is in two parts, both of which are essentially a sequence of fairly primitivist dance pieces for two prepared pianos. This is entertaining music, though perhaps 35 minutes is a little long. Stronger, and indeed one of the best of Cage's 1940s works, are the Three Dances. Written for choreography, this triptych contains some of Cage's most effective prepared piano writing. The first dance is fast, the second mostly slow, and the third a ferocious, rumbustuous toccata with a Rite of Spring-like energy. This is exhilarating music, and Christof and Schleiermacher sound like they're having a great time playing it. The disc rounds off the 1940s with a short, fragmentary write-note Satie homage, Experiences I.

    The first of the two 1980s works is Music for Two. This is simply the two piano parts from Cage's Music for ... series. The material consists of brief phrases, played normally, and long-held single tones, played by bowing the piano strings. The overall effect is slow and hypnotic. In contrast, Two^2 is explicitly structured. It consists of 36 brief pieces in the Japanese renga form (5-7-5-7-7), each a little over a minute long, played with the sustaining pedals constantly depressed so as to create a wash of harmony that doesn't entirely fade out in between the pieces. At 46 minutes, this is maybe a little too long, but it's still a strong piece.

    This disc can certainly be recommended to anyone attracted by the program. The music is good, the playing excellent and MDG's recording quality as exceptional as ever.
