Customer Reviews:

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09

Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.

Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02

Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.

A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06

John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.

There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.

Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11

Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.

" one of cinema's greatest composers...John Barry".......2001-07-06

This collection of four compact discs...are worth their weight in GOLD! Barry creates visual moods for each film he scores...romantic, sentimental, action, adventure, suspense and mystery...the list could go on. Strings, brass and lush-velvet arrangements overlay each cue in his distinctive style of legendary scoring...we have ~ "John Barry:The Collection", Silva Screen's release traces 40 years of film music, featuring "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" ~ conducted by Mr. Nic Raine (outstanding)..."Crouch End Festival Chorus" ~ David Temple, Choir Master...perform 56 selections, over four hours of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!

Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Nic Raine (conductor, arranger, orchestrator & associate producer), a tremen!dous asset to every project he undertakes...and the man who made it all possible...a legendary icon always leading the way in film scoring ~ JOHN BARRY!

Total Time: 258:76 on 56 Tracks ~ SSD-1128 ~ (2001)

not to great.......2007-04-04

We were disappointed with this CD, but for the price I guess we can't expect much. I didn't care for the new style presentation of the songs. I like a more traditional rendering.

Not so bad, 100 tunes for 4$.......2005-06-22

I red the comments of two other people who have bought this 4 CD BOX SET and it is not really so bad. I will even add that there are some excellent tunes. However, I must agree with the fact that few tunes seem to have been recorded 40 or 50 years ago, mainly when you hear the scratches of an old turntable but it is just 2 or 3 tunes. Furthermore, if you do not know American music, it is a good BOX SET to buy if you consider that you received 4 CD for 4$ including 100 tunes. On these 4 CD, I have heard some orchestration that I have never heard before and I consider that they are different but interesting. Any way, after hearing these 100 tunes, you will say to yourself that you like this tune, this other tune, this other tune and so on and you will be able to buy a more expensive CD with the tunes that you like. However, I have bought many CDs in the last few weeks and as you know, there are always some tunes that you like and some tunes that you do not like on every CD that you will buy. So, don't buy it at 25$ but at 4 or 5$ dollars, it is a very good choice for 100 tunes.

You get what you pay for........2004-07-04

You get what you pay for. The singers put their own spin on the singing of each song. If you didn't hear the words you would not recognize some of them. Even some of the music sounds like a bad recording of music played on a turntable. Definitely not worth the price.

Now I know why there were no song samples to listen to ..........2004-07-04

I wish this review had been here when I was thinking of purchasing it. I guess you get what you pay for. If you are thinking of buying this, you are better off recording your own CDs (or at least buying one that you can listen to a sampling of the songs). This album includes songs that were mere recordings of the songs playing on an old record player. It's almost so unbelievable that it is funny.

Very spiffy........2005-09-26

Oh man... I like this cd! I got it for "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise;" that song is absolutely adorable. I love French, and some of the songs are in French (some in English). Nice sound, a handful of good songs, and I do enjoy his voice! What a fox, that Georges Guetary, I tell you what... (yes, I am as cool as I sound).

Ma Belle Marguerite/Guetary.......2005-08-29

Delightful, intimate, charming. Includes the actual dubbing tracks for his songs from "An American In Paris," including the vocal from the outstanding Folies-style number, "I'll Build A Stairway To Paradise." Was there ever a more stylish song and dance man, than the Georges Guetary we see in that movie scene?

Interestingly, in his duet with Gene Kelly, "'S Wonderful," Mr. Kelly seems strangely threatened or desperately competitive with the ineffable Mr. Guetary. I was as shocked as Mr. Kelly to find someone more charming than he.

Most of the songs are in French (I think it's French!) but this does not hamper my enjoyment of the disc.

Pretty good within the span of time allotted.......2001-11-08

It is disappointing that there are no "License to Kill" or "Live and Let Die" cues in this CD. Some of the remaining cues, such as from "For Your Eyes Only" and "A View to a Kill" are unfortunately brief.

On the other hand, the producers _did_ try to condense almost 20 years of music onto a single CD. Compare this to the first collection, which encapsulated about 10 years of music - obviously much more time to devote to each individual film. Ah, if only they could've done, say, a Roger Moore CD and then a Dalton/Brosnan CD. In any case, I didn't really miss "License to Kill" all that much - while it works great on film, Kamen's score here seems a bit too sparse and incidental (bordering on meandering) to really produce enjoyable standalone pieces. ("Brazil" or "Die Hard", on the other hand...)

That said, this is a rather fine collection. What's particularly interesting are the breaks from Barry's scores - the lavish string arrangements for Conti's "For Your Eyes Only" (if only they added the disco cues, but again see above comments) and Hamlisch's jet-setty "Ride to Atlantis" provide an interesting contrast from the string pads and brass fanfare that dominate the remainder of the CD. John Altman's "GoldenEye" contribution is a refreshing interpretation of the original Bond theme.

I happen to have the Rykodisc version of "The Living Daylights", so there's nothing new here for my favorite score of the Bond films. Seems also like they set the drum machine a little too fast for "Hercules Take Off"....

How shall I try to put this...........2001-07-13

I thoroughly enjoyed the first 'Bond Back In Action', and I really tried to like this. While it has it's high's (like the 'TLD' and 'GE' parts, as well as 'TSWLM' and 'FYEO'), it had it's terrible, crash and burn, lows, such as: what ever happened to 'LALD'?? What, did it suddenly get lost? And doing music from 'TMWTGG'? That was some of the corniest music (Chinese overtones? I know we're supposed to be in the Far East and all, but please spare me).

One of the very first things I noticed when I got the CD: the packaging was very poor and just done very badly (like a trained monkey had put the thing together), and, in addition, the front cover of the case had a big 2-inch crack in it.

Sadly put: this CD could've been better. Lots better.

Decent, not outstanding..........2001-02-11

I wish I could say I love this album, but it doesn't compare to Bond Back in Action 1. It seems like a lot of stuff was left out and some songs don't sound like the originals. Not that this album is bad, its just not impressive. After the first one, I was expecting more. But for Bond fans, what's included is good and is worth listening to.

Perhaps Not a "Must" But Still Good.......2001-01-12

This the third anthology of James Bond film music done by Nic Raine and The City of Prague Philharmonic. The interpretations and performances for this recording are perhaps the best of the three. But as with any review of earlier film scores, there are ups and downs here. The good news is that there are several positives with this recording, including the performances and interpretations. Several of the sutites are quite enjoyable, especially "The Man with the Golden Gun," "Moonraker," and "A View to a Kill." Bravo, as well, to the "new music" from "Golden Gun," "Moonraker," and "Living Daylights." The best cut is "Fanfare" from "The Living Daylights," and this is no surprise, since Raine worked with John Barry on the original soundtrack. The down side includes music still missing: a full pre-credit suite from "Moonraker" and "Octopussy," and the "Welcome to India" flourish or fanfare from "Octopussy." Oddly, the best pieces are all by Barry, and the least impressive are the non-Barry inclusions which still fail to excite despite a noble effort by Raine. The music from "Goldeneye" remains a problem, there is no way around this reality. The packaging is disappointing, but adequate. Overall, however, this is still a very worthy effort and worth the price.

"007 Films Scores by Nic Raine & City of Prague Gang".......2000-12-14

Silva Screen presents a follow-up to their previous releases of the most famous "Secret Agent" ever to grace the big screen - "The names Bond, James Bond!". Our bigger than life hero has appeared in many forms - Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan - all capable actors with an aire of complete confidence in saving the world.

To assist our hero are various film score composers - John Barry, Bill Conti, Marvin Hamilsch, Eric Serra and Monty Norman, all have attained immortality and classic status in film scoring. Monty Norman had done the famous James Bond Theme of sorts, but John Barry gave it the polish with a new arrangement, a guitar, different accompaniments and so forth...now recognized world wide as the most popular theme ever.

Nic Raine who was fortunate to work with composers - Elmer Bernstein, Maurice Jarre, George Fenton, Gerald Gouriet and Stanley Myers...but was passionate when he orchestrated two James Bond scores for John Barry - "A View To A Kill" and "The Living Daylights" and conducted both Silva Screen's release "THE CLASSIC JOHN BARRY" and "THE ESSENTIAL JAMES BOND" with The City of Prague Philharmonic.

This latest album "BOND BACK IN ACTION 2", with a faithful and outstanding interpretation in the form of suites which incorporate some of the best "action" cues - some material that hadn't been available before. Nic Raine adapted and changed the material where necessary for the demands of a 75-piece orchestra. This is a "must have" for "film-score-buffs" and "movie-music" collectors!

What ??.......2006-12-10

The idiot from Virginia thought it a bit strange that an American black man would give the communists a chance. Looking back from modern perspective is easier than what he had to go on in the thirtes. Gee, I wonder why a black man would do that after all that southern hospitality, segregation, and steady work you gave the "black folk". Not to mention all those nighttime campfires you had going in their honor.
While I might be from New York I certainly would not be called a bleeding heart liberal but I can certainly understand why the poor soul was looking elsewhere. You are either ignorant of history and its influences on people or you are a totally unsympathetic jackass!!

Nice Voice, but not a nice person...(read on, pls.).......2006-01-07

Paul Robeson, who was brainwashed into
beleiving Communist rhetoric (which is
strange as hell for an Amer-I-can black
man). A good singing voice but all cover
songs! Come on, Paul!

A let down.......2004-09-24

I own several Robeson recordings and purchased this one with high hopes as it has a great selection of tracks. Unfortunately given the excellent recording quality of "Songs for Free Men" and "The Paul Robeson Oddyssey", the remasters from what I assume are 78's and possibly radio are a let down and mar what could have been an excellent album.

The definitive Paul Robeson compilation.......2003-09-19

This 2 CD set of Paul Robeson is the definitive collection providing a decent overview of his work in 50 tracks all wonderfully restored from 78s as usual for ASV, with spirituals, show tunes, Shakespeare-like readings, and more done with a trademark bass voice and orchestration that backs up Paul perfectly and he would later be one of the first civil rights activists. The first disc is a reissue of the single disc "Ol' Man River-His 25 Greatest" on ASV containing "Ol' Man River," "Mighty Like a Rose," "Joshua Fit De Battle Ob Jericho," "Carry Me Back To Green Pastures," "Lazy Bones," and many more classics which is also available here at Amazon for those who only want a single disc of Paul's work and the 2nd disc contains 25 more classics including "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen," "The Old Folks At Home," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Wagon Wheels," "Git On Board, Little Children," and many more. In other words, all 50 of these tracks are essential to any early pop, folk, gospel, blues, etc. music fan and this is the set to introduce yourself to his work in a convenient 2 CD package with the usual great liner notes and details on the original 78s ASV provides with each CD released in their Living Era series.

A piece of history.......2006-06-03

Many of the songs on this recording are not available in sheet music, and although the sound quality isn't "leading edge" it makes me feel as though I am listening to actual performers back in the 30's & 40's, with young and gifted singers like Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, and Mel Torme, as well as others who are nameless or unknown to me on this album, and a delight to listen to. Manhattan Tower is why I bought this CD, and I got so much more from it than I bargained for. The illusion I have when I play it is that I am a young jazz artist in New York, feeling the pulse of the city and filling up with everything about being a part of New York.

A BIG disappointment!.......2004-08-19

I bought this CD for the Slaughter on Tenth Avenue soundtrack ballet by Richard Rodgers and Lennie Hayton. But none of the tracks on this CD can be appreciated. It is a mono recording, and that immediately leaves you with a very incomplete sound. No amount of treble and bass adjustment can eliminate the awful tinny sound throughout the disc.

WHAT A TALENT - WHAT A MUSO.......2006-08-07

Not only is this man a monster guitarist, he writes some of the most diverse and almost uniformly interesting material. The chops are all there, but they are not the sole purpose for the musik. Every song tells a story, and tells it well. Great imagery and some very unorthodox compositions as well as the all out tear up rockers. He does it all and better than most. It may take a few listens, but after a while, every song will connect with you and reveal depth that you at first did not notice. No stupid jock rock here. Great musik, blistering guitar virtuosity. If that sounds like you, don't miss out on this.

Little known album, but he is fantastic.......2002-02-28

It took two or three listens, but this is a damn fine record. I thought Stevie Salas was just a guitar hero, and he is that, but his songwriting and melodies are strong too. At times he reminds me of an inverted Lenny Kravitz: Lenny sings just a little better than Stevie (but not much!) and Stevie plays guitar better than Lenny (a lot better!). Granted, their not clones of each other by any stretch of the imagination, but it's the only comparison I can think of. Either way, Stevie Salas is the complete rock package with songs, vocals and great guitar playing.

This record rocks HARD most of the time and Stevie plays mean funk guitar with some sizzle to it. Tell Your Story Walkin', Start Again, Crack Killed Applejack and Born to Mack are funky as hell and the guitar solos absolutely wail. He does a good job of taking the best bits of 70s, 80s and 90s rock guitar and blending them into a great modern yet familiar sound. I hear Hendrix, Eddie Hazel, Vernon Ried and Dave Navarro all in there a little bit, but ultimately he is his own man. There are some pretty songs on here like I Once Was There and The Lying Truth and he pulls these off just as well as the heavier stuff. The only tune I didn't care for is Amelia.

I'd only heard rumors about Stevie Salas and bought this record without hearing it. I was very pleasantly surprised. I can't believe this guy hasn't made it in the US and that's a shame. I look forward to hearing more of his records, but most of them are very expensive imports. It might be worth it to support a guy like him though instead of some of the modern garbage that's out there. Check him out and support real talent!

Please support your local guitar hero.......2000-05-23

I'd just like to provide a quick endorsement for "Back From The Living" for anyone who might be curious . . . I saw Stevie Salas perform when he opened for Joe Satriani and I have been a fan ever since. He writes music that has serious bite, lots of good hooks, and some absolutely rabid guitar playing. Stevie is able to coax sounds out of his guitar that seem implausible. He obviously tips his hat to Jimi Hendrix but his style has evolved into a unique voice that might suggest where Jimi may have gone, had he not departed from us so prematurely. The opener is a declaration of Stevie's committment to rock out on his own terms. He proceeds from their to serve up several blistering tunes before slowing things down with "Amelia" (so we can catch our breath, I think). On this song, Stevie adds layers of special treatments that give this affecting song a very eerie feel. The rest of the disc drips with raw energy, libido, and funk. For low end enthusiasts, Rick Skatore and T.M. Stevens bring it on the bass big time. With the rest of his catalog available exclusively through import - this title offers sound value to fans on a budget. Songs like "Start Again" and "Rock This Town" have wide appeal. On "Much Ado About Buttin'" Stevie & Co. warn against making promises you don't intend to keep. Therefore, I can't promise you'll like this album - but you might!

Wild and Crazy!.......2001-07-04

These guys are Wild, we need more of good times like this in todays music! Good old fashion fun and nobody gets hurt, well, maybe Hitler. Just a good time CD, enjoyed it a lot!

A Spike Jones chronology of his earliest records.......1999-01-19

This British import is actually a chronology of Spike's earliest 78s for Bluebird / RCA, from his first recording session in 1941 ("Red Wing") through 1945. Included are his hits ("Cocktails for Two," "Der Fuehrer's Face") and obscure B-sides ("The Covered Wagon Rolled Right Along," "Leave the Dishes In the Sink"). Spike's band was in its prime during this time, making for a good collection. Editing is good, especially joining the six parts of "The Nutcracker Suite." But note that the source material is scratchy 78s!
