Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

5 out of 5 stars Another classy release.......2006-01-26

This isn't quite the equal of Rafferty's previous album - 'North and South', but it's pretty close. Gone are the lengthy instrumental introductions that characterised that album, which makes for a more instantly accessible album, although it compensates by being much darker in tone, for this, folks, is Rafferty's divorce album. (In that wonderful sub-genre it's only real rival for title of 'best-ever' is Paul Simon's 'Hearts And Bones')

Virtually all of the songs deal with the feelings of loss and betrayal that accompany most such proceedings, and Gerry is alternatively regretful ('I Could Be Wrong', 'Love and Affection'), reflective ('It's Easy To Talk', 'Hang On') angry (the cover of 'Get out Of My Life Woman') and downright bitter ('Does He Know What He's Taken On?') before pulling himself out of his despair and promising to move forward in 'Life Goes On'. Later albums reveal him to be happier than ever, the knowledge of which makes this an easier album to listen to than it might have been otherwise. In any case it won't fail to move you, and his gifts for melody and lyricism are capable of carrying just about any subject he cares to tackle.

I find it difficult to be critical of any non-compilation by Rafferty, but this one has to rank up there with his very best. Don't miss it for anything.

5 out of 5 stars Don't Judge a book by its cover.......2003-05-09

Another fine album by Gerry. Alot of fine tracks including Don't Give up on Me, The Light of love, Its Easy to talk, and Times Caught up on you. Those songs alone are worth the money.

4 out of 5 stars Praise for Gerry Rafferty........2001-03-10

Few artists have the Depth and songwriting skill as Gerry Rafferty. Sooths and saturates the Heart and Mind with quality sounds that reflect what is purposeful in life and love. "On a Wing & a Prayer" delivers what is expected and then some from Gerry. "The Light of Love" is a captivating instrumental and Lyricaly strong song that I consider a True Ballad to the Core. "Love and Affection" is much the same. The Back Ground string arrangment on these two songs delight me as I sit back entranced with how it affects me emotionaly. "I See Red" is another favorite. Covered very well by "Clannad", I may not fully understand The lyrics to this song, but that is exactly what keeps me coming back to all of Gerrys songs. Like a missing peice to a story, you will find if you collect all of Gerrys Music as I have, It all fits so perfectly. Each Cd blends into one another and sets its timelesness into play. Other Favorites on this CD are, "I Could Be Wrong","It's Easy to Talk". I will not catagorize Gerry. He Obviously Stands alone in my book and Highly Underrated as an artist and a Talent that Must be heard by all who Cherish Singer Songwriters. So go ahead and Buy this Cd. You have come this far to Read about him, but to fully know what I am talking about, Buy all of his music that you can. Other Cd Must haves from Gerry are "City to City", "North and South" and "Over My Head". If you Loved "Baker Street" and "Right Down the Line", Trust me, Gerry is No Two Hit Wonder. As with most artists, Most of their best songs are Not songs you would hear on the Radio.

5 out of 5 stars Her Voice is Unbelievable!!.......1999-07-22

A Great singer! Her voice is remarkable. The backup music is also extremely good. I'd never heard of her until one of her songs on a celtic collection. "The Game", "One Heart", and especially "It Ain't Funny" are the three strongest songs on the CD. I highly recommend this CD. Her singing will move you!!

Hi, well i haven't gotetn the CD yet, but I played in the honor band that preimered Pastime. Percussion parts rock in that peice. I have the CD Past the Equinox (sp) and will soon by this one. Keystone Wind Ensemble is awesome, and music by Jack Stamp is beyond great. Keep up the great work!

5 out of 5 stars 8 Years and Going Strong........2000-07-29

I have had the unique privilege of being involved with the Keystone Wind Ensemble from its inception in 1992. I have played various roles, from section percussionist, to associate producer, to assisting with the mastering process. The personal dedication of the members has been phenomenal.

This is our finest work to date as an ensemble, without doubt.

Buy this disc, you'll be glad you did.

3 out of 5 stars An oddity in the Dougie Maclean catalog.......2006-03-22

This album stands out as being very different from the bulk of Dougie Maclean's recorded work -- and not necessarily in a good way. It was the last of four albums he recorded for the Plant Life label, before he started his own label.

While there are several very good tracks on this album, there are also several synth-pop dance numbers that just don't sound anything like Dougie Maclean songs. The record label was obviously pushing him to do something more "radio-friendly" for the early '80s, and instead it seems to have pushed him to leave the business of working for another label and start his own, where he would have total creative control.

For the casual listener, I would recommend buying albums from his own Dunkeld label before venturing into his early work. But for the Dougie fanatic, this album is a must, if only to hear him doing something outside of his traditional genre.

2 out of 5 stars Not at all like his current work.......2005-08-21

If you are a huge Dougie MacLean fan, you will probably want to buy this just to hear some of his very early work. But you'd be better off buying "Early". This is not at all like his current work, it is sounds a lot like Pop music, and in fact was heavily influenced by the record label. If you want to get started on a Dougie MacLean collection, and you are new to his music, you should start with Craigie Dhu.

4 out of 5 stars Big Ger does it again!.......2007-06-27

There's some really good stuff on this CD from singer/ songwriter Rafferty. There are times when I am reminded of his hits from the 70's while listening to "The Light of Love." This CD is packed with beautiful harmonies and awesome instrtumental riffs and Gerry sounds fresh and alive on pick hits "Get Out Of My Life Woman" and "Don't Give Up On Me." This one's definitely worth listening to .... several times!

4 out of 5 stars two reviewers agree.......1999-10-31

Here is another excellent effort from Rafferty. Polished witty pop at it's finest. This album has more songs on the "mellow" side than upbeat, as opposed to his last work, "North and South", but the songs I enjoy most, I can't get enough of. Like many of Rafferty's best albums, you love 90 percent of the songs and the other 10 are just a bit different than your usual taste...but that's what makes Rafferty such a unique artist. Best songs: "Time's Caught Up On You", "Does He Know What He's Taken On", and "I See Red", the latter co-written by brother Jim.

4 out of 5 stars Gerry Rafferty returns in the 90's.......1999-08-28

In his first release of the decade, GR is in fine form vocally. The first track, "Time's Caught Up On You" is a nice opener that has the typical Rafferty groove fans have come to love. Other stand-outs include "The Light Of Love" and "Don't Speak Of My Heart." This recording is probably his best work in the past 20 years, with the exception being the "City To City" album that spauned two major hits, "Baker Street" and "Right Down The Line." You won't be disappointed with this one.

4 out of 5 stars Quintessential Rafferty.......1998-10-21

Although not as good as the preceding "North and South," "Prayer" is yet another solid work with the typical Raffery touches. Not every track is highly inspired, but even a simple melody as "I Could Be Wrong" is a winner with a bridge that is so very Rafferty-esque. Jim Rafferty also contributes with the wonderful--and verbally obscure--"I See Red." Great work.

    "On a Wing & a Prayer" is inspiring and beautiful. I went to college with Angela Daigle and remember being delightfully surprised the first time I heard her sing. When I stumbled across this CD I bought it immediately and was not disappointed. I hope you will enjoy it and be as blessed as I have been by it.
