5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous performance, richly reproduced.......2007-05-13

The piece is a treasure; the singers, legends; and the recording is exquisite in recreating this hallmark performance. Alive with a depth of feelings...love's vulnerability and worries, evil's powerful delusions, the pain of parting and death..,

Simple and profound, this remarkable recording plucks the strings of our sweetest humaness.

5 out of 5 stars After the Puritans England rediscovers music, singing and drama.......2006-12-20

England is finally getting out of her puritan revolution, her puritan sixty or eighty years and the Stuarts are back for a short while and finally the Glorious Revolution brings freedom in 1688, a freedom the English haven't had for a long time, especially after the plague had desertified London in 1665 and then the Great Fire had cleaned up the dirty plate that looked more like a trashcan or a giant hearse in 1666. Life can finally come back and be enjoyed. So they reopen the theatres and they start looking for new shows. They sure are pushed towards the French style of the Great Century of the Sun King by the Stuarts coming back from their golden exile in Paris. But that is not enough to give these new generations of artists an inspiration, or even a style. They go back to Marlowe and Shakespeare and they rediscover Dido and Aeneas, Venus and Adonis, and so many other Midsummer Night Dream that they may call the Fairy Queen. They also need a new form, a new genre to celebrate this newly reacquired liberty and they invent the semi-opera. Dido and Aeneas is one of the best in this line. The story comes from Ancient times and Vergil. Dido was also a heroin in Ovid's poetry and in a tragedy by Marlowe. Perfect indeed, and Purcell reinvents the Queen of Carthage. We can only have the music on this CD and these songs, arias and choruses are nothing but intermezzos in a big play intersperced with ballet pieces, operatic songs and other interludes. That is a semi-opera. Today we have more or less forgotten that there was a tragedy behind and that this genre was the invention of the opera in England, since England had never had operas. Purcell was the pioneer and Handel will be the great master after him who will finally reach the full form of the opera and give it a completely new dimension. Purcell is of course at his best in this music. Very clear voices constrasting and complementing one another marvellously though he has not yet understood what he could do with contraltos and countertenors. The female contralto is the sorceress and the male countertenor is some spirit and false messenger, in other words both are secondary characters. We will have to wait for Handel who will make the countertenor, or male alto the main hero in some of his operas like Saul for instance. Moreover the instruments are light, very light and splendidly full of genius and great art, the best mention having to be addressed to the archlute that is fingerpicked as if it were prefiguring the yet to come guitars, thus contrasting with the traditional use of the other strings with a bow. Purcell is a great composer that can bring together many instruments who remain, each one of them, perfectly free and particular, never getting merged into some kind of mash. This art is supposed to serve the drama, the tragedy. The escaping Aeneas arrives shipwrecked in Carthage. He accepts and uses Dido's love for him to reconstruct his fleet and try to fly away. Dido is naive and does not count on the sorceress's hatred for her and these infamous witches are going to plan Aeneas departure. And yet Dido will grant Aeneas his leave just before flinging herself into a pyre and dying in the flames. We can imagine the feelings at the time. The Puritans were finally forgotten and rejected and we could celebrate love affairs, ancient pagan fables, suicides, witches and sorceresses, spirits and other supernatural beings. And what's more we could enjoy it, dance and get thrilled with this story. Dances are even punctuating the tragedy, furies, sailors and witches don't hesitate to spin a couple of measures for our pleasure. And Dido as a mezzosoprano reminds us of the dramatic and tragic plot that lurks behind the beautiful front with a deep and grave lamenting coloration of her words and her voice contrasts so well with the egoistic and vain tenor that Aeneas is. Purcell managed to stage the revival of English music and drama with the saddest of all love drama. Irony of the artist in times of woe and joy at the same time. We must not forget how Queen Mary only reigned six years, ravaged and killed by some disease, uncurable in those days. Dido first produced at the very time of the Glorious Revolution will be reproduced some six years or so after Queen Mary's death, conveying thus some mourning, some dirge in remembrance of this deeply loved Queen.

Look at the prices on the Used section. It is ridiculous. This is a great recording. Get it quick.

5 out of 5 stars A Performance Resonating With Emotional Intensity.......2005-11-26

Janet Baker's performance of Dido's Lament is absolutely stunning in its emotional intensity and would be enough to make this performance unforgettable. But there is more to commend this recording. Baker's vocal clarity, and of all of the other characters, is another outstanding feature of this CD. The chorus is first-rate throughout this recording, especially at the end, as they sing, "With drooping wings ye Cupids come, and scatter roses on her tomb . . . " Although another reviewer has commented that he finds Raimund Herincx's voice as Aeneas too gruff, I find powerful, moving, and thoroughly convincing, as when he lowers his voice and sings in a voice that is anything but gruff, "but with more ease could die."

It's true, as one of the other reviewers comments, that there is something about Monica Sinclair's voice and enunciation as the Sorceress that reminds one a bit of the Wicked Witch of the West and gives her performance an air of contrived theatricality, making her supposed malevolence less than convincing. But the other aspects of this performance are so outstanding that this one reservation is not enough to lower my rating below a 5.

The performance of the English Chamber Orchestra and of Thurston Dart on harpsichord are also of the highest quality.

The quality of the sound from this analog recording made in 1961 is outstanding; the sound engineers who have made this 24-bit digital remastering are truly to be commended.

The CD booklet contains photos of Janet Baker and Raimund Herincx, the entire libretto, and two well-written and informative essays, the first by Alan Blyth on Janet Baker, with an analysis of her singing, and the second by one of the original performers on this recording, Thurston Dart (harpsichord), on the story and music of this beautiful opera.
Very highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars INFANDUM, REGINA, IUBES RENOVARE DOLOREM (Aeneid 2/3).......2001-10-03

I can't recommend this strongly enough to music-lovers who, like me, are not very well up in 17th century composers.

First, this opera has a good strong, clear libretto. The story moves fast, the characters and situations are strongly delineated and contrasted, the sense of developing tragedy is powerful and moving. Purcell's Dido has has the stature of Virgil's
--- regina graui iamdudum saucia cura ---
--- the queen long since wounded with a heavy care
a queen and a strong woman driven to suicide by a betrayed love, the part grandly realised by Baker. Herincx has the right idea of Aeneas too, big and 'heroic' despite needing only token prompting from the powers above to abandon Dido and anything she might have meant to him. Virgil's malevolent Juno is replaced by a stagy cast of witches and whatnot, and rightly so for greater theatricality. (I'm OK by staginess and exaggeration here.)

For those like myself whose idea of opera starts with Handel and gets going properly with Gluck, this piece is not easy listening to begin with.It has been an education to learn how the musical resources of the 17th century can be equal to a story as powerful as this. I do not comment on details of the performance as it is still unfamiliar ground to me, but I do not expect ever to find it anything except magnificent.

5 out of 5 stars Big WOW (for someone who craves American folk music).......2005-07-19

This CD is SWEET! Sweet sweet sweet.
I saw the documentary on PBS and found the theme selection, "Beech Spring," playing over and over in my head. Very cool arrangement of a traditional melody.

(I know this is a rather large review, but keep reading....it gets better.)

My other favorites:
Heart of the Heartland (Lewis' theme) - For those of you not familiar with his story, Meriwether Lewis led a noble yet tragic life. A great heart, an incredible leader, yet often self-critical and depressed. His theme starts out with a mandolin solo and guitar accompaniment, later joined by a beautiful cello counterpart. I was playing it on the piano one day when my mom walked in and said simply, "That music sounds sad." I just stopped and went "Whoa - whoever wrote this really said what he meant to say: it's played major key, yet deeply expressive of a melancholy longing." (Gotta admit - I even tear up sometimes when I listen to it, heh heh.)
Shenandoah - (Jefferson's theme) An American classic; I assume one of Ken Burn's favorite folk songs, cuz he has it played a thousand different ways on almost all of his documentaries. This particular arrangement is AWESOME - I could never get tired of it. It's played with a light bluegrass feel, very fresh and happy. But it's simple, too - just a fiddle and guitar, not doin' anything too fancy. I think there's a penny-whistle interspersed as well. When this track comes on, I turn up the bass and set the track on 'repeat.' ;>)

OK, well, I think this review is long enough already. I could go on and on about this CD, but for your sake, I won't. If you're still reading, let me just say this: I leave it to you to get out there, buy it for yourself, and treat your ears to the best feeling they've had in a long time.
Have fun!

5 out of 5 stars A surprising great soundtrack.......2004-01-23

Unlike the Civil War Soundtrack, there are new compositions here, in addition to traditionals recorded and arranged just for "Lewis & Clark". Also unlike the Civil War soundtrack, the songs here are mostly folk, some of which have a distinct Irish or Scottish flavor to them. Artists collaborating on this album include Silly Wizard, Bobby Horton, Jay Ungar, Skip Gorman, and a host of other well known and not so well known (but equally talented) people, so you know the music will be good. Phil Cunningham's "When Summer Ends" easily stands alongside "Ashokan Farewell" as a standout piece of music associated with a Ken Burns series, and you will find yourself humming (or whistling) it to yourself well after you've listened to this album (Phil is one of the members of Silly Wizard). The traditional "Beech Spring" is another standout piece of music. While the songs are well matched to the events they're associated with in the film, the album easily stands on its own without benefit of words or pictures. Unlike many soundtracks, this is a collection you can listen to at work, in your car, or anywhere.

I recommend it for any fans of folk music, the artists listed, the Cape Breton sound, and fiddle or other traditonal instruments. Fans of New Age artists such as George Winston would also like some of this album.

5 out of 5 stars Incredible soundtrack!.......2005-07-19

The amazing music was one of the things that stood out to me most as I viewed the IMAX film "Lewis and Clark: Great Journey West." I had only seen it once but I went ahead and bought the soundtrack. I still remember being BLOWN AWAY the first time I listened to it! And my spirits still soar every time I put this CD on!
Some of the tracks have an interesting 'tribal' twist to them - not my favorite for listening. (Just opinion.) But the orchestral tracks more than make up for it! They really capture the bold and adventuresome spirit of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Just listening to this recording makes me wanna go out and conquer the world.
I highly recommend it!!

5 out of 5 stars Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West.......2003-03-18

After visiting my local IMAX Theater and watching the film " Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West", I found myself playing the music from the film over and over in my head. The epic soundtrack is beautiful and symbolic of the struggle to discover the wild west. In addition, the CD has a few bonus cuts from native flute master R. Carlos Nakai, that are a very nice fit with the recording. I am very glad I purchased the recording and I think you will be too!

When I heard the previous mini-album of the show with Petulia Clark and David Willetts I was not very impressed, so I didn't have high expectations here. Unfortunately, this album is worse. A mess of styles, dull singing, and cheesy orchestrations caused me to send this CD straight to the back of my closet. Sorry, Petulia!

      Total of 22 tracks from 1965, several that I have truly fond memories of hearing them blasting out of the family station wagon when I was a kid. Cuts like Petula Clark's "Downtown", Tom Jone's heart throb of a gem "What's New Pussycat?", Righteous Brother's "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" (have always like The Firm's version of this tune as well), Peter And Gordon's "I Go To Pieces" and the(sort of)obscure We Five sole hit "You Were Always On My Mind", a lot of oldie fans I've talked with simply don't remember these guys.

      5 out of 5 stars Great trail songs........2003-08-14

      This is a fun cd to listen to while travelling the Lewis and Clark trail. The songs really set the mood and make you feel like its 1804. I love the fiddlin tunes and Keith Bear as always is awesome ...

      5 out of 5 stars Corps of Discovery.......2000-08-26

      This CD has music that sounds very much like the music that was played in early 1800's. Listening to this CD is like being on the expedition with Lewis & Clark. It has a large variety of music, from classical to Indian drums/singing, also fiddle like the one on the trail. This is my favorite music related to Lewis & Clark.

      5 out of 5 stars Great Music, Great artists!.......2007-05-10

      I was lucky enough to attend this historic concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London and it was an amazing night of music I will never forget. This was an very interesting variety of mainly British artists who performed these Bacharach/David songs with style and enthusiasm. The standout performances were Petula Clark (wish she would have recorded even more Bacharach/David songs on her albums), Elvis Costello, Dionne Warwick (what Bacharach/David tribute is complete without her), Paul Carrack, and Brian Conley (a big West End and UK TV star), and Brian Kennedy (discovered by Van Morrison and the vocalist for Riverdance on Broadway). A must for fans of Bacharach/David songs.

      3 out of 5 stars A Jolly Goodtime..........2006-05-21

      This live London, Royal Albert Hall, June 2000 concert tribute recording is not the conventional type. It is comprised mostly of Brits performing uncharacteristcally various Bacharach-David selections. Petula Clark, Dionne Warwick, and Burt Bacharach himself are the anchor for the program. Elvis Costello gives a sensitive take on " I Just Don't No What To Do With Myself" that underated song of heartbreak after a break up. Irish singer Brian Kennedy does a good low key job on the supportive ballad "Reach Out For Me" As much as Yazz tries she can't match Dionne Warwick with "Do You Know The Way to San Jose" a few tracks down the disc. A couple of the interpretors weren't even born when Burt was in his hay day. This kind of makes it interesting for the overall rating of this CD. British TV star Brian Conley does a luke-warm version(when compared to Tom Jones)on "Whats New Pussycat?". He fares better on "24 Hours to Tulsa"! When your not totally familiar with the performers on such an album of American Pop classics; the whole can be compared to just nicely done karaoke. The anonymous recording is first rate. Minimal audience noise. Some brief but helpful notes on the performers are included.

      3 out of 5 stars Hit or miss collection.......2003-04-21

      This live album recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in London gathers a large group of performers to celebrate the amazing Bacharach and David catalog. With the mix of artists, the results vary wildly, but when it's good, it's very good. High points include the incomparable Irish singer Brian Kennedy, who creates an absolutely shimmering version of "Reach Out For Me;" soul singer Paul Carrack, bourbon smooth on "This Guy's in Love With You;" and Petula Clark, who lends a distinct theatricality to three cuts here. Those three artists do outstanding work, making the cuts sound like their own rather than trying to copy the original vocals.

      Some of the other tracks just lie there, including two by Brian Conley (he sounds like a third-rate Tom Jones) and Kenny Lynch, who just can't swing on "Wives and Lovers." Even Dionne Warwick, who gets three cuts here, doesn't seem to be in particularly good voice. The overall result is uneven -- there are better Bacharach compilations out there -- but this disc does have its moments.

      Amazon.com

      It's hard to believe this CD/DVD sampler of the PBS broadcast live-music series, hosted by the ubiquitous pianist Ramsey Lewis, is the first nationally syndicated jazz show in four decades. Its variety--which spans from the Milesian, smooth-jazz trumpet of Chris Botti and the Latin jazz stylings of flutist Dave Valentin to the Brazilian brilliance of keyboardist/composer Ivan Lins--makes it well worth the wait. Part of this show's charm lies in its genius collaborations, including Al Jarreau and Kurt Elling doing the Dave Brubeck gem "Take Five" and alto saxophonists Phil Woods and Dave Sanborn's remake of Horace Silver's "Senor Blues." Chick Corea's solo keyboard take on "Armando's Rumba" brings forth his Spanish heart, and trumpeter Clark Terry steals the show with his funny scat-blues number "Mumbles." Lewis's florid performance of John Coltrane's "Dear Lord," shows why he's the host of this stupendous show. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

      5 out of 5 stars Jazzz CD and DVD.......2006-07-08

      Fantastic quality sound and video, superb studio performances by the musicians, overall an excellent cd and dvd combo.

      4 out of 5 stars music A+ but the DVD format a bit lacking.......2006-06-14

      the music included in these disks are just top notch. however, having seen the programs on PBS, i regret that the producer did not include the entire program (inclusive of interviews with artists) on an extensive DVD/CD compilation. this DVD/CD is at best a tip of the iceberg compared with what is shown on PBS.

      caution. for jazz fan who is also into HDTV, the HD DVD is a problem. the disk box states as 16X9 HD but the image does not fill up a typical 16x9 HDTV screen like the original boardcast. rather the DVD produces the image in letter box format. this is disappointing/. so, if you expect to see a true DVD in HD format filling up your 16x9 HDTV screen, the DVD disk will not meet your needs. however, if this is the least of your concern, this is the DVD/CD set you must own.

      note to producer. please release the ENTIRE program in box DVD/CD set and fix the 16x9 dvd format. i will love to own this. thanks.
