Editorial Reviews

Kahn has written the best body of political folk songs about working class folks since Woody Guthrie. His writing is marked by borrowings from traditional Appalachian tunes and telling details from the actual lives of working people. On his debut album, New Wood, he writes of a coal miner tired of "bad top that's ready to fall," of a prostitute who provides $20-an-hour therapy for lawyers and politicians in an office where "the plaster's cracked and peeling," and of a woman truck driver who's "ninety pounds of fire in a five foot frame." Kahn's voice has a cramped range and a thin tone, but he never tries to sing notes he can't hit and his understated delivery is perfect for these 17 carefully wrought stories. --Geoffrey Himes

Based on Nicholas Sparks' novel, director Nick Cassavetes film spins the bittersweet tale of a 60-year romance, as seen from the polar perspectives of its promising youth and the travails of an old age cursed by Alzheimer's. Its soundtrack effectively echoes those polar dramatic concerns, with composer Aaron Zigler's gentle orchestral score largely giving voice to the character's melancholy present, while a rich, well-chosen slate of vintage material by Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller imparts a restless energy to their youth. There's a certain schmaltz to much of Zigman's work here, yet cues like "House Blues/The Porch Dance.." and "Noah's Journey" argue he's achieved something more elusive than mere melodramatic wallpaper with the deceivingly difficult task at hand; it can't be easy to have your work seasoned with the likes of Ellington's sassy "Alabamy Home" and Goodman's still-vibrant "One O'Clock Jump." Sharply contrasting versions of "I'll Be Seeing You" by Holiday and Jimmy Durante bookend the soundtrack, perfectly evoking the story's alternating shades of hope and fading nostalgia and framing Zigman's understated work in the bargain. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Based on the best selling novel by Nicholas Sparks ("A Walk To Remember", "Message In A Bottle"), "The Notebook" is the story of Noah and Allie, teenage lovers torn apart by WWII and Allie's parents' demands to marry a respectable lawyer. After 14 years apart, they meet again and rekindle their true love. Starring Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, and Gena Rowlands. The soundtrack is a propelling force. In addition to classic WWII era pieces, Aaron Zigman's score suites enhance the record with beautifully dramatic themes. Score performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony.

5 out of 5 stars Touching.......2007-07-04

There isn't much I can say about this beautiful movie, except that it was so touching!
It say's go for the "true love", settle for nothing else no matter what may be in store, because love that is "true" and as beautiful as their's was, is a rare thing!
I absolutely loved the ending.
I also loved that a movie CAN be truly wonderful, beautiful and touching WITHOUT grafic "sex scenes!" Also sadly a rare thing in movies today.

Ever seen "Hanover Street?" Equally beautiful. No SEX scenes either!

5 out of 5 stars Pays music a complement. I love the classical pieces!.......2007-05-27

I do not have the soundtrack to The Notebook, but I do have the movie itself. Having said that, every song is wonderful. Some music carries with it, a wealth of emotion and a sense of timelessness. I love all of the classical pieces , perhaps the best, in this particular movie. Classical has never been my speed when it comes down to music, but something about this movie's classical masterpieces struck a chord in me...made me smile and maybe even sniffle a bit. If you are a fan of the movie, I'm sure you would love its soundtrack too. Music like this is ideal for a romantic evening or just for pleasure listening. You don't know if you'll like something until you give it a chance! So give this a chance!!

5 out of 5 stars the Notebook soundtrack (Audio CD).......2007-05-13

This is a beautiful collection of music from the movie, The Notebook. Most is instrumental, very relaxing, as well as lively at times. Two renditions of "I'll Be Seeing You" are included.

5 out of 5 stars Very Nice.......2007-03-30

I really enjoyed listening to the soundtrack, but I'm also a big fan of background music and this cd was great for both. Listening to the cd took me back to the movie and reminded me how much I enjoyed it, but I also put the cd on during a nice meal with friends and it worked out very well, they all enjoyed the music.

5 out of 5 stars A sweeping, emotional standout!.......2007-01-11

The music from The Notebook brings you right back to the film, capturing your heart and soul. It's music will roll live waves through your soul and bring you from nostalgia to your own feelings of love and desire. The selections, arrangements and orchestrations are to be admired, and Mr. Zigman is to be praised. This soundtrack truly completes the legacy of "The Notebook".

5 out of 5 stars Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

5 out of 5 stars Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

5 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

3 out of 5 stars Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

From the artist who brought us the award-winning CD, Scenic Listening, comes Wood's much anticipated second album, Sacred. Gregorian Chant and various ancient voices are artfully woven to channel the wisdom of the ages. Perfectly blended with beautiful piano and string melodies guided by energizing rhythms, Wood's music will take you to a place that is, above all . . . Sacred.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Sacred Music, Sacred Place.......2007-07-20

I was so pleased with the music I heard on this cd. I have shared it with others and they also were taken by it. I've collected many spiritual, world and New Age music, but I've never heard anything like this. Thank you Kevin Wood for such wonderful taste.

5 out of 5 stars Soothing Music.......2007-05-12

I purchased two copies of this beautiful CD in March 2007. The chanting, both native American and Gregorian, is superb and the music is captivating and soothing. I took one copy to my lady in Russia in April 2007 so she can play it and it helps her to remember me until we are together again in July, then September, then December. And I can truly say this CD, especially song number five "In Search of Kindred Spirits", has helped bring us together. In Search of Kindred Spirits is OUR song, but you are welcome to buy a copy of the Sacred CD and listen to it and nine other nice songs. T.L.S.

P.S. [...] delivered this CD at a good price in a very timely manner, as usual for them.

5 out of 5 stars Sacred by Kevin Wood.......2007-01-04

Sacred is a fantastic fusion of Native American music and Gregorian chant. Relaxing, inspirational and refreshing, this CD should be included in one's collection whether you're looking for background music or motivation.

5 out of 5 stars Nourishes mind and spirit!.......2006-12-13

This album of highly original music sounds great on the first listening, yet becomes even more interesting on every succeeding play; you never know what's "around the next bend", but it always works. Like a kaleidoscope producing an ever-changing combination of patterns and colors, Kevin's layering of voices, instruments and "beat" makes the music sound fresh and new every time you listen. His knitting of Native American voices, Gregorian chant, electronica, wind instruments, an occasional keyboard carrying a singable melody, and even echoes of the English choral tradition evokes an all-inclusive spirituality with an underpinning of anticipation and exhilaration. A real masterpiece!

5 out of 5 stars Spirtual Excellence.......2006-04-18

This CD is a must have! Better than Enigma or Enya. Very calming and meditative effects.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars I love this CD!!.......2006-10-26

It has such beautiful music. I first heard "Tribal Hymn" on XM satellite radio and then I bought this CD. I'm a huge, huge fan of Enigma's music and this is very similar to their music. This CD is mostly instrumental with just a few lyrics here and there, just like Enigma's music, and it's just so uplifting to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars The one CD everyone should have........2004-10-22

Scenic Listening is pure phonic imagery. Oil on canvas for anyone who has an ear. Places reachable only by kevin Wood's music. Pianistically dusted studio perfection driven by throaty accompaniments and amazing rhythm. It conjures a spiritual gallery of the most realistic paintings you will ever hear. Scenic Listening is a great album and a genre by itself.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!!.......2004-10-18

I was fortunate enough to hear one of Kevin's songs on an NPR radio show and was hooked. His style is unique, the music is wonderful, and I can't get enough. Really looking forward to him completing his next CD cause by then the laser will have burned a hole through my Scenic Listening disc. This is a CD you have to listen to in order to appreciate it!!

5 out of 5 stars David Wood's music: AWSOME!.......2004-08-05

Move over Enya, Loreena McKennitt, and New Age music - the dawn of a spiritually uplifting genre has arrived! The title tells it all. Scenic Listening will take you to the beautiful forests, the nightime deserts, the soothing ocean waves, and the majestic snow covered mountains. Nature and music has never sounded so wonderful! I strongly recommend this CD to everyone! We can hardly wait for David's second CD! It too will be greatly received, I am sure!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Instrumental!!!.......2004-01-18

I have been addicted to this CD for months. I heard one of the songs on the NEW AGE satellite channel and thought I'd give the CD a chance. The entire CD is awesome. The music reminds me of Enigma, Deep Forest, and Medicine Woman (except no fruity bird sounds). Sure enough, as I checked out some stuff about Kevin Wood, it said his influences were: Enya, Patrick O'Hearn, Deep Forest, Sacred Spirit, Enigma, and George Winston. If you like the sounds of those musicians, you'll love this CD. The piano pieces are exceptional and every song has a good rhythm/beat. If you take a chance, ENJOY!

4 out of 5 stars Good overall.......2005-07-20

Technically a very clean album. It has a good selection of tunes, particularly for the history buff, however some of the polished choral pieces sound funny when you think that most of them are essentially folk tunes that should be sung with a somewhat less practiced air. Overall, worth the purchase for historical value and good production.

4 out of 5 stars Great Music from the Birth of Our Nation.......2002-02-02

A great collection of music from 18th century America.

If you enjoy fifes and drums, choral compositions, patriotic songs, and uplifting music from the birth of America, please get this CD.

A perfect selection for a patriotic American to play, especially on the 4th of July.

5 out of 5 stars Protest Songs of the 1770s.......2002-01-24

The music that was composed and performed during the American Revolution is presented on this 1 hour CD. Since I was a child, I've enjoyed hearing the drum and fife corps on the Fourth of July and during the Presidential inaugurations, and this CD has several good drum and fife marches. Other selections are 18th century protest songs about taxation ("A taxing we will go...} and British tyranny. There are also some good harpsichord numbers contained on this CD. The musicians are excellent and the sound is clear. I don't know how many common people got to hear music like this during the Revolution, but at least this CD gives the 21st Century listener the opportunity enjoy the "popular" music of 200 years ago. Classical music lovers will enjoy this CD too.

4 out of 5 stars Important work of musical heritage.......1999-02-25

I fell in love with this CD from the first track.The music of the American Fife Ensamble is stirring, I felt positivly rebelious. The satarical songs based on the tunes "British Grenadires" and "Hearts of Oak" are like the paintings of W. Hogarth set to music. You should have more than a cursory knowledge of the 18th century though, to fully enjoy this CD

5 out of 5 stars A good source of enjoyment and education.......1999-02-23

We will never know exactly how these songs sounded when the citizens of Boston were darting black looks to the British regulars on the streets, but I would wager quite a bit that these renditions come pretty close. Of course the "American" accents are an anachronism; but most listeners might be puzzled to hear British accents used for these anti-British songs (with one exception, composed by a British regular!)I have already used selections from this CD to a groups of 3rd and 5th graders and they loved it. So teachers, take note, but be sure they have the words in front of them. A very valuable educational tool that also happens to be a very enjoyable program to hear for its own sake. And as with most New World releases, the annotations alone are worth the price of the product.

    Album Description

    "No wonder every massage therapist and yoga instructor I know plays music from Soundings of the Planet. Dean Evenson's familiar, echoing flute has me so well trained that I go into a little trance as soon as I hear it!" -- Mara Applebaum, New Age Retailer

    "Dean envelops us with a whole earth full of flutes, keyboards, and natural sounds that blend better than anyone could hope for." -- MusicDish.com

    "Dean Evenson is my absolute favorite for massage! I have all of his CDs and have been using them for years." -- Ruthy Lucas, LMT

    Warm, resonant tones of the wood flute merge with the gentle sounds of flowing water, weaving a relaxing tapestry of deep inner peace. Soothing flute melodies, soft drumbeats, and rattles invoke the spirit of nature to create a tranquil mood. For over twenty-five years, Dean Evenson has captured the magic and deep essence of the wood flute on many Soundings recordings. People have often asked for an all-wooden-flute album--so now, for the first time ever, he dedicates an entire album to the mystical quality of this beautiful instrument. Wood flutes are made from the earth elementals, sometimes hewn from tall cedars, or carved from reeds, bamboo, or--as in the case of one of Evenson's flutes--lightening-struck ash. The flute's subtle tones are blended with wisdom and the breath of life.

    4 out of 5 stars Really Good Compilation.......2006-08-08

    A few weak tracks, but some real gems on here all performed on Taylor Acoustic Guitars. Steve Stevens (from Billy Idol) plays a great flamenco on Sadhana. Clint Black does a fine version of The Claw. And Amy Grant and Vince Vaughn perform a moving How Great Thou Art. Characterizing it as "New Age" is a bit unfair. Just some really good acoustic guitar performances from a good collection of artists including the late Michael Hedges and William Ackerman.

    4 out of 5 stars If you love acoustic guitar....you need to get this CD........2005-09-14

    I really enjoyed this CD very much. I like more 'romantic' guitar, but this is still very good. Check this CD out, you will enjoy it! The songs are very relaxing, makes you want to play...strum away.

    For those of you who are gifted by being musically inclined, I would suggest listening to this album. Perhaps play along with it.

    4 out of 5 stars Guitar Player.......2003-03-11

    I had been searching for this album because I downloaded just one song from the web, Vince Gill's "How great thou art". It took me months to find out where it came from. The emotion in that one song, the way Vince plays it, is what drives me to play the guitar, if only I was that good! I don't really care for the taylor's advertizing a lot of good accoustical guitars out there. While the highlight will always be the song that sent me on the search in the first place, the rest is definately worth the price!

    4 out of 5 stars A fine collection.......2001-12-07

    Every track on the album is at least pretty good."The claw" by Clint Black is a tricky piece deftly handled."Java man" by Michael hedges is a work of virtuosity."Liquid Amber" by Laurence Juber has all the dreaminess the title implies."Marina" by Skip Ewing and B.J.Walker Jr. is one the most lovely,sun drenched,yet melancholy pieces of music you'll ever hear.But the most brilliant work on the album has to be "Sadhana" by Steve Stevens.This vibrant,rhythmically manic tour through the possibilities of the guitar has to be heard to be believed.Great sound,balance and superb artist selection.

    3 out of 5 stars Some of the best instrumental, acoustic guitar I've heard..........2001-08-11

    For me and my family, tracks 3, 6 and 10 standout immediately. As I continue listening I'm finding there are several others that I like even more. I'd say that about half of the tracks are to my liking while the vast majority demonstrate much ability and creativity. I am very pleased to own it.

    5 out of 5 stars Beautiful.......2005-06-04

    Another triumph for Anuna- this album incorporates more instruments than other albums, but it is done so tastefully and it really adds a whole new dimension to the crisp voices of Anuna.

    Definitely worth a place in any music library!

    5 out of 5 stars Different, but still superb.......2003-12-29

    Unlike most of the albums Anuna has put out so far, most tracks on this album are for choir AND orchestra. The harmonies are definitely 20th century, but they are pleasing to the ear almost always add to the already excellent sound of the choir. Of particular note are the tracks "The Great Wood" (available for download on Anuna's site if you're curious to hear before buying) and the final track, "1901".

    Although the sound may be different than what you have come to expect from previous albums, I would still recommend this one wholeheartedly.

    5 out of 5 stars another excellent cd by anuna.......2003-06-11

    I bought this album when it was still only available in Ireland, and it was well worth the extra money then. Like Cynara and Deep Dead Blue, this CD has more modern music, including some songs composed by Anuna members, as well as the more traditional music they're known for. Perfect for studying or working to.

    3 out of 5 stars Not as good as #1 & #2.......2007-01-19

    Good Instrumental and quality sound recording, but content not as overall pleasing as VOLs 1 & 2.

    4 out of 5 stars Good, but not the best.......2006-07-09

    I play Taylor guitars and learned of this series when Volume 1 was released. I bought it, and loved it. The diversity was amazing. I couldn't wait for Volume 2, and bought it as soon as it was released. I loved it.

    So it is with a heavy heart that Volume 3 didn't meet my lofty expectations. Its a good album. But it sounds more mainstream than either of the first two. And although I have listened to it several times, its not an album that is growing on me. I see a limited listening life fot this one. And a return to Volumes 1 and 2.

    5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC!.......2003-09-20

    What better way to pay tribute to the acoustic guitar than with an album by some of the world's most proficient and influential players? The musicians are world-class, and so is this album.
    Dave Matthews commands with "Litho Blitho," while Robben Ford surprises with a unique version of Louis Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary."
    Kenny Rogers, Randy Dorman and Rick Harper team up for an unforgettable "Night Winds;" Doyle Dykes paired with Duane Eddy are an unbeatable twosome.
    All the stars whether singer, songwriter, guitar soloist or producer are here. It's a must-have for guitar aficionados.

    Volume 2 is top quality instrumental work, and compares very well to one of my favorite CDs - Sounds of Wood & Steel Volume 1.

    4 out of 5 stars Terrific Collection of Guitar Instrumentals.......2005-09-18

    This second volume of the SOUNDS OF WOOD & STEEL series is a simply wonderful album of guitar instrumentals. As with the previous volume, each song features Taylor guitars (which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1999 when this CD was released).

    There are numerous highlights, including Taylor co-founder Bob Taylor's rendition of "After the Gold Rush." [Note: Neil Young was an early proponent of the Taylor guitar.] Also, Elliot Easton's performance of "Caroline No" is amazing. Easton chose the song because of his working relationship with Brian Wilson (he has performed and recorded with Wilson) and his belief that it is the "prettiest pop ballad ever." In addition, the Hawaiian slack-key flavor of "The Island" performed by Jim Messina (with Kenny Loggins sittin' in providing wordless vocals) is a real joy.

    Bottom line, there isn't a weak cut in the bunch. And don't be misled by the fact that this CD was released on the new age Windham Hill label. There's no navel-gazing guitar noodling here--just musicians sharing their love of guitars. Very satisfying. [Running Time - 47:47] HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    5 out of 5 stars great stuff!.......2004-11-25

    What's not to like about this compilation? I'm not at all sure why some reviewers were "disappointed" by this cd. I'm thrilled to have so many leads to all of this talent. One shouldn't expect to like every tune on a cd such as this, because there are so many different styles, but I feel that the producers did an amazing job keeping the tone very similar, so that one can enjoy this cd from beginning to end. Keep in mind, too, that this type of music is designed to be background for reading, or writing a letter, or doing a puzzle, or studying, or just relaxing. It's SUPPOSED to be unobtrusive. It's not supposed to be mindblowing or alter your consciousness. It's just supposed to set a mood and help you mellow out, and it certainly does that artfully.

    5 out of 5 stars Beautiful music.......2002-01-16

    If you like, even just like, acoustic guitar you will like this record. The perfect record for a candlelight dinner or peaceful quite evenings. I love just about every song on this record. Lovely, intricate guitar playing.

    Listening to this record on the couch, with the lights off and my eyes closed, makes me feel like I am lying by a crackling creek, in the grass, under a blue sky, temperature about 80 degrees, when I was ten years old.

    2 out of 5 stars Disappointing compared to the first volume.......2000-05-25

    The sound quality is great and the playing is top-notch. However, only a handful of tracks here (including "Caroline, No" Elliot Easton, "Liz & Opie" Victor Wooten, "Wings of the Morning" Doyle Dykes and maybe one or two more) seem inspired. Taken on it's own terms, the collection overall sounds pleasant enough but the weaker tracks come across as being here just for the project theme- to demo the Taylor Guitar sound. If you can only get one of the two volumes, Vol. 1 is absolutely the one to go with. This one is for serious guitar enthusiasts only or music collectors/completists who want these tracks because they may not be available elsewhere.
