Novelist Cormac McCarthy's literary vision of the wild west is given wide-screen treatment by maverick director Billy Bob Thornton and a cast that includes Matt Damon, Penelope Cruz, and Bruce Dern. Professional country music journeyman Marty Stuart has performed with father-in-law Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, and Doc Watson, in addition to a successful solo career. In his soundtrack scoring debut, he provides short, meditative instrumental pieces that are subtly explosive--rife as they are with strains of old-school country and bluegrass. Cinematic strings and orchestral percussion add a welcome menacing edge, augmenting the rustic approach without crossing over into a compromised "countrypolitan" sound. If anything, it might be nice to hear these themes extended. As it stands, the 23 listed tracks are covered in a little under 50 minutes, with many of the cuts barely lasting more than a minute or two. They stand as a new genre of cinematic country minimalism. --Rob O'Connor

5 out of 5 stars Great western soundtrack.......2004-02-28

This is a must buy for fans of western soundtracks.It mixes beautifully symphonic music with Guitar music and spices it up all together with a south of the border flavor. Haunting music that will make you want to never take it out of your cd changer. It also
Features two vocal pieces, the first a spanish song sung by the very talented Raul Malo of the country group the mavericks, the second song is a beautiful ballad sung by Marty Stuart. Though I never owned any cd's of Marty Stuart he earns my respect with composing this film score.(cowboy hats off to you Mr.Stuart)

5 out of 5 stars Truly Incredible.......2003-03-12

This album is a masterpiece. Within the first strums of the guitar, you feel as though you are among the southwestern hills. It has immediately become one of my favorites of all-time. The songs are filled with beautiful imagery, enchanting tunes, and haunting melodies. The shortness of the songs in unnoticable, as each song blends into the next, and the album itself serves as one epic journey. It is not meant to be listened to a song at a time, but as a whole. As I said, it is truly incredible. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone.

To celebrate its sixth anniversary as an ensemble, Kremerata Baltica presents a light, loving, and musically interesting confection. After an opening polka by Schnittke (who knew he could be so frothy?), we get 11 variations on the song "Happy Birthday" by Peter Heidrich, à la Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms, and some dance movements. Delightful. Elsewhere, Franz Waxman's Variations on "Auld lang syne" are as clever as they are unexpected and charming. More variations--this time on "God save the King" by the 19th century composers Ghys and Servais--afford Kremer and cellist Marta Sudraba a fine time, and Teddy Bor's brief riff on Mozart's omnipresent "Eine kleine nachtmusik" is a hoot. There's more, but the point is made: Classical music can be fun and sophisticated, and Kremer and his group remain virtuosi, one and all. --Robert Levine

Album Description

These young Baltic musicians possess a vivid spectrum of string color, thoroughly polished execution, and a direction of effort in service to the composer... There is no violinist with greater versatility and commitment to musical truth than Kremer. Slipcase. Nonesuch. 2003.

2 out of 5 stars A well chosen album title.......2007-01-10

I was desperately looking through the internet for a tango "happy birthday" and the tune was there, in this album. After I purchased the cd, I read the booklet included and there I found mentioned that "the album's title is not merely a reference to the popular tune, but a celebration of the ensemble's anniversary". So, I was happy to have finally found a tango "happy birthday" but I was also disappointed because this was not the playful album I was looking forward to listen to.
But this is a bit unfair for this excellent orchestra.
If what you are looking for is innovations on the romantic classicals... well this could be it. The point is that this is an album for listeners who know their way into classical music.
Other than that I should suggest that innovation regarding any classical music "playful" album would be to capture the listener's interest with more daring ways than that.

5 out of 5 stars Happy Birthday by Gidon Kremer.......2007-01-09

This is a nice "classic" touch for any birthday celebration--great musical treatment of a most familiar tune!

5 out of 5 stars A perfect birthday gift.......2006-01-26

I bought it out of my own devotion to Gidon Kremer and another one for a food friend's birthday. Kremer never let me down. This is another outstanding CD and a perfect birthday gift, even for non-classical lovers. However, to be very honest, I am not totally satisfied with all the tracks but still it's highly recommended. I would say it is an almost-must-have for your CD shelf. The variation of the traditional 'Happy Birthday' is fantastic if not too commercial.

5 out of 5 stars Jest with Zest.......2005-11-26

If you enjoy parodies, this will be the perfect album for you. The jokes played on the various composers are amusing and refreshing, especially for music students who bore their brains out analysing these composers. Take a fresh view and enjoy! Even though they may seem meaningless initially, they grow onto you soon enough; and you will start asking - why not?

5 out of 5 stars I want to play the variations myself!.......2004-07-22

My God...I will be too grateful to anyone who can show me where I can get the printed music of the "Happy Birthday" variation ....

4 out of 5 stars Dead Meadow's 3rd Studio Offering.......2007-02-22

Brrrrrr. The Shivering King. Dead Meadow's third album offers up more of the dense, chewy, and chunky sound they so effortlessly create. Whereas their first album was an immediately accesible masterpiece (IMO), Shivering King and Others is not as immediate. It is one of those albums that challenges and takes time to reveal itself. And aren't those usually the best kind? Give it a chance and it will grow on you like a fungus. Dirges, slowed tempos, and a general air of murkiness pervade the music. Shivering King and Others manages to strike a balance between heaviness and psychedelia to stunning effect. Highlights include I Love You Too, Everything's Going On, The Whirlings (simply amazing), Good Moanin', and Golden Cloud (perhaps the best track on the record). If you like Slint, Tool, Black Sabbath, Melvins etc... you need to check out this Washington D.C.-based power trio. Guaranteed freshness.

5 out of 5 stars saw them play 11/22 open for wolfmother .......2006-11-24

I was blown away by these guys live, the whole crowd was hypnotized and moving in sync. Perfect band to smoke too and just get lost in the music. Wolfmother is brave for having these guys open for them, I could of walked away smiling if it was just Dead Meadow.

5 out of 5 stars Molten sonic lava crashing into waiting waves.......2006-04-27

I heard "Feathers" first, and have backordered "Got Live," so in the meantime, "Shivering King" will fit nicely. As listeners seem to agree, this one's denser in tone, perhaps murkier in vocals and definitely in production, and it moves like a lumbering beast especially during the first half. The success of the first six or seven songs depends on your mood. This is not background music, and I doubt if I'd want to wake up with this cranked up unless I wanted to blare the aural equivalent of a hangover.

But, if you're ready for it, SK&Others (as with Dead Meadow's other work) takes its time to burrow deep into your reveries. It's carefully layered and the arrangements belie any stoner stereotype: this is smart music for smart people. Dead Meadow as always moves only to its own beat--it presents songs that are in no rush to get wherever they'll eventually rumble, shove, traipse, and meander. In fact, I wish the instrumental track (#5) was much longer, as this makes a welcome respite from the thick mire that the band brews up and plunges you in relentlessly for the first half.

By song seven or definitely eight, the acoustic guitars signal an uplift in the delivery that's well-timed. From this point what was a four-star album turns five-stars, for this combines--reminiscent of moments on "Feathers," Led Zep III's folk-meets-metal-meets-blues-meets psychedelic melange. The last part of this album stretches out and carries you along. (4.5 stars, but I have to round up for credit for the fine ending to this album that lifts it high above its promising beginning.)

The visual equivalent for this album: picture the volcanoes on Hawai'i's Big Island as they rumble and crash into the Pacific, molten lava hissing and spewing as it ripples out in terrifyingly beautiful waves.

4 out of 5 stars If there's one thing that Dead Meadow do well..........2006-01-21

Then it's to play heavy. Believe me, this album is HEAVY. Not in the vein of say 'speed-metal' heavy, or 'noise-metal' heavy, but heavy nonetheless. Each song moves at a snail's pace, and each riff will rock your foundations. The more you listen to this album, the more you feel like you have shoulder-length hair, tinted glasses, and way too many colours on your clothes. It's hard to single out a highlight on this album, because they are all very good cuts. It's hypnotic, entrancing, and hazy. Kick back and relax; you'll be grinning for a cool 60.

5 out of 5 stars Not complicated, but brilliant.......2005-12-23

With their primal blues riffs, shambling drums and swirling atmospherics, Dead Meadow emerge from deep within the forest with its finest album, and one of the best of the new century.

While "I Love You Too," "Everything's Going On," "Good Moanin'," and "Raise the Sails" perfect the aformentioned two-note, sub-blues formula, the band doesn't ride just one horse over the course of these 12 songs.

"Babbling Flower" and "The Whirlings" step right out of the fuzzy 70s, "Wayfarers All," "She's Mine" and the beginning of "Shivering King" intercede with light acoustic moments, and this is probably the band's definitive version of "Heaven," the languid acoustic guitar, shimmering effects and forlorn vocals making the line 'Heaven isn't too far/It's far enough" ring all the truer. "Raise the Sails" is one of the finest and perfectly placed closing songs ever committed to tape, a rumbling, swirling opus.

A finely crafted album that deserves all the praise it has been given; a gem worthy of anyone's collection.

Oh, such letter-perfect perfection! This marvel features a two-hour-plus showcase of well-known arias from "Cosi Fan Tuti," "Aida," "Carmen," "Madame Butterfly" and "The Barber of Seville." It also comes with a book --- 762 pages of remarkable facts, figures and illustrations.Encore!

5 out of 5 stars The Best.......2002-06-09

This is, by far, the best introduction to opera on the market. It also contains some gem performances for anyone who already has a serious opera collection. Several tracks on this collection of mostly Eastern European singers rival those of their Western counterparts. This is a collection for EVERYONE - from the opera novice to the person who has long collected all the major Western stars. At this price, it's the best opera bargain in the world. GET IT NOW!!! Thank you, Naxos! I hope that some of these Eastern European singers at last get the attention they deserve.

5 out of 5 stars Superb Modestly Priced Favorite Arias Collection!!!.......2001-02-12

I received this as my 20th birthday gift from my bestfriend and I was amazed at the quality and the content of this CD. Some of the arias which I am immensely fond of are included, i.e. "Habanera" from Bizet's "Carmen." And who would have guessed that the soprano on track 10 performing Queen of the Night's Aria from Mozart's "Die Zauberflote" was none other than Hellen Kwon? Amazing!

I really love this gift from my bestfriend for it was thoughtful and well, what can I say that this makes an excellant gift for opera neophytes (though I am not an opera neophyte).

The highlight of this CD is track 13, Rossini's "Largo al Factotum" from "The Barber of Seville." When I first heard this, I was contemplating to myself as to where have I heard this before. Then it hit me: Michigan J. Frog's signature tune! (In case people are wondering who on earth is Michigan J. Frog is, he is the Warner Brother's frog; the frog can be seen on WB network channel). I love this track! Buy this for yourself if not this makes a perfect gift for your opera neophyte friend(s)! This track brings joy and smiles on my face everytime I hear this piece!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful introduction to opera.......2000-12-16

More than just a promotional sampler, the Naxos (8.555037-38) contains not only 2 CDs crammed with 39 excerpts from that company's seemingly bottomless catalogue, but also a 762 page book. The text offers plot summaries of almost every important opera and many of far lesser renown (Delius' "The Magic Fountain," Mascagni's "Iris," for example), a brief biography of the composers, a glossary, and finally a discography. The recorded examples are in chronological order from Monteverdi to Korngold. The entries in the book, however, are in alphabetical order--so be careful to look for "Zauberflote," not "Magic Flute," and so on.

Of course, Big Names do not appear on many Naxos opera sets; but this set is an introduction to that vast area of culture and is meant to be an educational (and of course a promotional ) device. Nevertheless, many of the selections on the CDs are beautifully sung, a very few lack characterization (the arias from"Don Giovanni" and "Nozze di Figaro" for two). But at this incredibly low budget price, who can complain?

As soon as I saw what this set had to offer, I immediately ordered a copy as a seasonal gift for a friend who wants to "get into" opera. I could think of no better gift.

There is a sister set titled (8.555319-20) that uses the same format. There are 2 CDs with 36 selections from Gregorian Chant to Glass. The 562-page book gives us the major facts about "the Great Composers and Their Greatest Works, " a glossary, and a 45-page list of classical music heard in films. The discography is included in the composers section. Again, the value of this set as an educational tool is enormous and well worth the extremely low price Naxos is asking.

5 out of 5 stars The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

    5 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT AND INSPIRING!!.......2005-03-05

    From first cut to last, the CD is a brilliant and inspiring. Loretta is in incredible voice here. It is so hard to pick a favorite from among the outstanding songs. The best cuts in my opinion are "I Believe", "Standing Room Only", "Ten Thousand Angels" and "In the Garden". Heck, though, they're all outstanding and it is a CD you'll never tire of listening to!

    5 out of 5 stars Classic and Timeless.......2001-03-10

    This has been my favorite gospel album recorded by Loretta as well as one of my overall favorite Loretta Lynn recordings. Everything about this album is first rate, with a special bonus of Loretta showing her religous convictions. Most of the material has a fast tempo and easy to remember lyrics. Every song is a winner. This album does not disappoint.

    5 out of 5 stars Loretta.......2000-03-22

    Loretta is Awesome, And she continues to dish out the good ones, even today. Loretta, Ur #1

    4 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTE BRILLIANT RECORDING!.......1998-12-17

    Being a Loretta Lynn fan, this religious CD is my second favorite of the 4 she has recorded during her career. Best tracks are: "Standing Room Only", a song that use to wake me out of a deep sleep as a child when I use to hear it being played at the end of a sign off on a radio station at midnight, and "Mama Why"?, a song Loretta wrote and recorded with her son Ernest Ray. The CD opens up with the uptempo title "Who Says God Is Dead" and will have you in tears before it ends.

    4 out of 5 stars Another great trip down the MFU memory lane.......2005-10-19

    Volume 2 (comprised of 2 CDs) is another first rate compilation of the series' original music and not to be missed by U.N.C.L.E. fans. The liner notes are wonderful and add a lot to ones appreciation of the music.

    My only problem is that THE CDs ARE COPY PROTECTED! Considerable work is needed to get the music onto your iPod, if you really want the music in your mp3 collection. This is a major hassle and a surprise, since the first set in the series was not copy protected.

    5 out of 5 stars The best of the three Double CDs ORIGINAL soundtrack release.......2005-07-12

    Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

    Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

    And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

    Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

    This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

    Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

    So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

    Open up the pit and prepare to be brutalized, cuz Hoods' new disc continues to bring the oldskool feel that any fan of true hardcore have come to love. Speedy blastbeats and heavy drops dominate this album, getting you ready to put on your dancing shoes and throw down something sick. The vocals stay sharp and hard, and while lyrical content isn't amazing, it's just as pissed-off as it should be. If you're looking for posi, you won't fine it here. Instaed, Hoods delivers what they should: heavy, furious hardcore that will smash your face and leave you begging for more.

    3 out of 5 stars These are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks.......2007-01-21

    I was disappointed that these are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks. For example, in Colonel Bogey, the countermarch from the movie soundtrack is not included in the arrangement on this CD. Don't get me wrong, the songs are good, but I would have preferred the same arrangements as the original movies.

    5 out of 5 stars An outstanding compilation.......2006-08-25

    This compilation is superb and a real must-buy. From Band of Brothers to A Bridge Too Far: every war movie theme is represented here. An all time classic.

    3 out of 5 stars The really good ones are missing........2005-07-18

    While this compilation has some masterpieces such as the theme from The Great Escape and Is Paris Burning, it's missing some of the finest tracts ever written. Where is the theme from Victory and Ernest Gold's stirring epic from Cross of Iron? The closing theme from Inchon was also a feast for the ears, but it's not here. It was written by Jerry Goldsmith, one of the foremost soundtrack composers of our time. Instead we're subjected to the likes of Hanover Street and The English Patient. I'll admit Inchon and Victory weren't Academy Award winning movies, but their soundtracks were second to none. As John Stossel would say," Give me a break"!!!

    5 out of 5 stars "many were winners by the Academy for best scores".......2004-05-26

    Silva America presents the essential in film music during the period of World Wars ~ "Longest Day:Ultimate World War Movie Theme", featuring some long forgotten cues, 53 to be exact that sent chills and thrills into the pulses of world events ~ selections from a limited collectors edition that would make any "film-score-buff" green with envy.

    Released to commemorate the sixth Anniversary of D-Day, never has there ever been such a tribute compilation package from any other label and Silva comes to the forefront ~ featuring The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (Paul Bateman, Nic Raine Tony Bremner and Carl Davis as conductors), The Philharmonia (Kenneth Alwyn, Jerry Goldsmith, Mario Klemens and Paul Bateman as conductors) and also the world renown Crouch End Festival Chorus (David Temple as choir master) ~ what a gathering of talented musicians and singers fill this collection supreme.

    The lineup of composers is a Who's Who in the world of film music ~ John Addison, Tomaso Albinoni, Kenneth J. Alford, Paul Anka, John Barry, Arnold Bax, Elmer Bernstein, Eric Coates, Carl Davis, Klaus Doldinger, Antonin Dvorak, Benjamin Frankel, Gerald Fried, Hugo Friedhofer, Jerry Goldsmith, Ron Goodwin, Bernard Herrmann, Maurice Jarre, Michael Kamen, Jerome Moross, Alfred Newman, Clifton Parker, Alan Rawsthorne, Ryvichi Sakamoto, Lalo Schifrin, Gerard Schurmann, David Shire, Max Steiner, Dimitri Tiomkin, Ralph Vaughan Williams, John Williams, Gabriel Yared and Hans Zimmer ~ set the stage for compositional human drama while exploring the deepest troves of musical emotion ~ one masterpiece after another, each cue manages to display both a convincing authenticity of the times and places ~ experience every tracks passion and skill for striking the exotic orchestral colors, explosive power and spectacular works of full large scale orchestral arrangements previal at every turn.

    We are grateful to James Fitzpatrick (producer), Reybnold da Silva (executive producer), Rick Clark (associate producer/album sequence), Marion Garden (associate producer) and the whole gang at Silva America who have resurrected many of the soundtracks for the "film-score-buffs" in all of us.
