    5 out of 5 stars I love it and I give it as a gift.......2006-12-11

    This is the first collection of choral music that I've purchased and I love it. I own copies of operas and requiems and masses, but if you attend choral concerts, as I have been recently, you learn there is a huge colletion of choral music appart from the forms I've been listening to. I appreciate the producers selecting "Song for Athene" by Tavener and "Celebration (Standing Stone)" by McCartney. They are new to me and I love them. Disk 1 ends with "Jerusalem" and Disk 2 ends with "Land of Hope and Glory." As an American I rarely hear these and I am so glad they were included. I believe this album was intended to help popularize choral music and I believe the selections do fine job towards that end.

    I know snobs rage against popularizing classical music, but everyone deserves exposure to the beauty of song. I will also mention here "The East Village Opera Company" because they work to popularize opera by setting it to a rock beat. They do a fine job but also get criticized for attempting to popularize classical music.

    "The Best Choral Album in the World...Ever" was so popular with my teen-age daughter that it was hard to get it back from her. I give the album as a gift to nephews and nieces.

    4 out of 5 stars MarMSED.......2005-08-27

    The music selections are extraordinary. The only problem has to do with the balance of sound. There are some parts that are very loud, and some that are so very soft. You have to continually adjust the volume.

    3 out of 5 stars Diverse range but the songs are butchered..........2005-07-24

    Well, this CD isn't horrible by any stretch, but it is irritating to someone who's more than a casual listener of choral music. I'm by no means as musically "literate" as many reviewers out there, but I have a collection of probably twenty-five or thirty choral CD's and this is one that will probably be gathering dust in the back of the CD book.

    The peices are well-performed for the most part, but they are hopelessly edited. Beethoven's Ode to Joy is somewhere around twenty four minutes, but this CD only includes an arrangement of about five minutes. The beautiful Miserere is, uncut, almost eleven minutes but is cut down to five and a half minutes here.

    Looking back, I should have realized the major editing that would be involved, just by the sheer number of peices on it. I'm familiar with a great many of them and I know they're too long to fit onto a seventy minute disc without some major cutting going on. I just didn't reason that out before I shelled out the money for it.

    Bottom line. This CD has decent singing, but is nothing special. If you're a newcomer to this genre, you might get this as a quick overview of the different types of choral music out there, but if you're any kind of an avid listener, this CD will drive you insane with the severity of the cuts. Beginners, if you're looking for a great collection CD, you'd do better to look at "Choral Moods". It doesn't have the diversity in styles of this one, but it will introduce you to incredibly talented composers. To the old hats out there, steer clear of this one and look to CD's by your preferred individual composers themselves. It's more money, but much less frustration in the long run. The old sayings are sometimes the best: You get what you pay for.

      Customer Reviews:

      5 out of 5 stars I can name that tune in three notes.......2005-02-19

      My family likes to put this disc in on shuffle and play name that tune. I wish they made more discs like this, only with more obscure works.

      5 out of 5 stars A Fabulous CD.......2004-10-14

      The Idiot's Guide to Calssical Music is an awesome Cd for those people who want to have a tiny sample of all the great classical compositions. Track 61 and 63 are my favorite.

      5 out of 5 stars Mega-Sampler! This really does have 99 tracks!.......2002-03-20

      Yes, this CD really does have 99 tracks. How do they do it? Each is about a minuet long. Some are longer, some are shorter, but you get the micro-essential moments of the music.

      If you like burning your own CDs, then this is a great source for intra-track fillers, along the lines of They Might Be Giants' "Apollo 18" album, which has all of those short tracks on the end. The idea is to put your CD player on shuffle, so the short tracks get mixed in with the bona fide songs. The result being a very unusual album.

      The booklet gives an explanation of the track, where you heard it (i.e. the Warner Brother's Cartoons, or on famous films), and where you can get the full piece of music. So it's a mega sampler CD.

      I can honestly say that this CD is a great gift for the friend who has everything.

      5 out of 5 stars Fun Sampler.......2001-11-09

      For the beginner. You will be surprised at how many of the 99 themes you recognize here. It is an easy introduction to classical music. Nice booklet too.

      5 out of 5 stars Useful........1999-03-22

      Take it for what it is, a clever and useful GUIDE to classical music. No, it is NOT an uncut rendition of Beethoven's 9th symphony. It IS a cd that will jog your memory. You have heard many of the tunes presented here, but not always knowing what the work was. This is your chance to catch up with all the great classical music you have been exposed to. Cheap too.

        5 out of 5 stars EPICS THAT DO NOT DISAPPOINT.......2007-05-14

        WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA TO TAKE HOLLYWOOD'S COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL EPIC MOVIES, EXTRACT THE BEST PORTIONS OF THE SCORES AND COMBINE THEM FROM THE DAWN OF MAN TO THE RECENT PAST. I PARTICULARLY ENJOY THE SUITES FROM GLADIATOR, BRAVEHEART AND THE VIKING. THE REPRODUCTION OF THESE SCORES BY THE CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS IS BRILLIANT, AND THE RECORDING WAS EXCELLENT. I ONLY WISH THERE WERE EIGHT DISCS INSTEAD OF FOUR TO COVER THE VOLUMES OF SCORES THAT COULD NOT BE INCLUDED. LET'S HOPE FOR A VOLUME II.

        4 out of 5 stars Interesting selections . . ........2006-12-15

        This compiiation album makes an excellent gift for that person wanting to discover great, epic scores. I'm surprised, however, that Vangelis' Alexander is included in this one. Not bad, just surprised.

        The reason I give this album 4 out of 5 stars is because of the swashbuckler section. How is it that CutThroat Island - one of the greatest epics in history - was scrubbed out of the list? Pirates of the Caribbean is included on the selection but nothing from Debney's masterpiece?!

        Yes, that is a huge compilant. If you haven't discovered CutThroat Island, I suggest you get it then you'll understand my frustration. Still, this album is a great buy and worth looking into!

        When I think of the "Golden Age of Hollywood", many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "EPICS:THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HOLLYWOOD", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades right and up to the present 2005.

        There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classics that even the youngsters today recognize...sweeping scores that capture the drama, mystery, adventure, action and romance...one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this...many nominated and winners by the Academy for Best Original Score...

        Silva Screen Classics as usual, has put quality into this 4-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come...this collection is aimed directly at the "Serious Film Score" music fans and collectors...Silva is as always, perfect in every way...just the way we like 'em!

        5 out of 5 stars tip of the amazing ice berg.......2006-09-11

        this collection of excerpts is by no means any kind of substitute for the 6 CD series which is now out of print, and is not even a well rounded representation. In addition to the other reviewer's observations, this "best of" seems to favor the more "difficult" and challenging pieces - while much of the content of the complete 6 volumes is lush, sensual, and breath-takingly gorgeous. David Toop will have to fight me for any of the volumes on that desert island (and he will lose).

        but I seem to remember reading that an exhaustive box set series of film works is being released, with a total of something like 30 discs planned - after all, the man did make 92 film scores - but I haven't seen it anywhere or heard of this since - am I on drugs???

        5 out of 5 stars A Solid Sampling of the Master.......2001-06-27

        Nonesuch's selections provide an excellent sampling of Takemitsu's score from different stages of his career, and John Adams' interpretation of JOSE TORRES, BLACK RAIN and FACE OF ANOTHER is extremely well done. It should be pointed out, however, the selections are skewed toward those films which have received ample distribution in the US and those directed by Teshigahara Hiroshi and Kobayashi Masaki. Victor Records in Japan has released 6 volume collections of Takemitsu's score, as noted by another reviewer. (As far as I know they are still in print and can be ordered through special soundtrack music dealers such as Footlight Records or Soundtrack Album Retailers) and this is how the present CD stacks up against Nonesuch's selections:

        Vol. 1 Films Directed by Kobayashi Masaki. KWAIDAN, HARAKIRI (Only a short excerpt found in Nonesuch version), GLOWING AUTUMN, KARAMI AI, YOUTH OF JAPAN, THE FOSSIL (Included in Nonesuch version)

        Vol. 2 Films Directed by Shinoda Masahiro. PETRIFIED FOREST, SILENCE, BEAUTY AND SORROW, ASSASSINATION, THE APOCRYPHAL LEGEND OF SARUTOBI SASUKE, HANARE GOZE ORIN, AKANE GUMO

        Vol. 3 Films Directed by Oshima Nagisa and Hani Susumu. EMPIRE OF PASSION (Excerpted in Nonesuch version), THE UNKNOWN STORY OF POST-WAR TOKYO, MY SISTER IN SUMMER, THE RITUAL, BAD BOY, FULFILLING LIFE

        Vol. 4 Films Directed by Teshigahara Hiroshi. FACE OF ANOTHER, (The instrumental version of the waltz in Nonesuch version: in this CD the waltz is sung in German) SUMMER SOLDIER, PITFALL, WHITE MORNING, WOMAN IN THE DUNES (About 2/3 of the selection here included in Nonesuch version), JOSE TORRES (Re-recorded in Nonesuch version), BURNT MAP, RIKYU (Nearly identical to Nonesuch version)

        Vol. 5 Films Directed by Kurosawa Akira, Imamura Shohei, Toyoda Shiro, Naruse Mikio, Narushima Toichiro. DODESKADEN (Excerpted in Nonesuch version), THE DIARY OF BLUE MIRAGE, THE GHOST OF YOTSUYA, MIDARE GUMO, BLACK RAIN (Re-recorded in Nonesuch version)

        Vol. 6 Films Directed by Ichikawa Kon, Nakamura Noboru, Onchi Hideo. KYO, ALONE IN THE PACIFIC, ANCIENT CAPITAL, 21-YEAR-OLD FATHER, KINOKAWA, ADMIRATION, A WOMAN'S BODY, A FABULOUS FEMME FATALE, HAPPINESS.

        As you can see, Shinoda's and Ichikawa's films, for instance, are not represented at all in the present CD. It should be admitted, however, even the monumental Victor 6-volume collection does not come close to presenting complete film socres of Takemitsu. Popular works like RAN, widely available in other venues notwithstanding, such major scores of Takemitsu as DOUBLE SUICIDE (Shinoda) and SAMURAI REBELLION (Kobayashi) are not included in this 6 volume collection, to name only two examples.

        Kudos to Nonesuch records for a great homage to the cinematic output of one of the most innovative composers of twentieth century, but there are still mounds and mounds of sonic treasures from the late Toru Takemitsu out there for film music and avant-garde music fans.

        5 out of 5 stars A great introduction..........2001-05-04

        I have to commend Nonesuch for releasing this excellent collection. It serves as a great introduction at a domestic price. There are several volumes of Takemitsu's film music available on Victor/Japan as well, but they'll set you back around 35 bucks each and the liner notes are in Japanese. I've acquired 6 volumes so far, and I recommend Vol. 4 as the most essential. It also happens to be on David Toop's list of desert island discs, if that means anything to you. Still, this Nonesuch sampling is the best place to start. I even prefer John Adams' more polished performance of Woman in the Dunes to the original (available on Vol. 4). The real highlight for me, however, was the London Sinfonietta darting through the Waltz from Face of Another, which appears again on Vol. 4 as a woman singing, accompanied by accordians and orchestra. You'll find yourself humming it for weeks.

        5 out of 5 stars Brilliant.......2000-02-12

        A must-have for Takemitsu and film music fans. This CD provides a wonderful sampling of the diversity of Takemitsu's style. I've seen many of the films which are sampled, and the CD makes me want to see more. Takemitsu's music brought an element to all the films he worked on that's at least as important, if not more, as the acting, writing, cinematography, editing, directing... you name it. He's probably the finest film composer ever.

        3 out of 5 stars very atmospheric pieces.......1999-06-28

        From the liner notes, I understood that Takemitsu's work is voluminous--here is only a sampling of it. Whether you like Japanese films or not, you can appreciate this music. Highly atmospheric and keyed into our dreams, Takemitsu's music will transport you outside your apartment or cubicle into the realm of humanity. I like the Waltz from "Face of Another" (Tanin no kao), Kaseki (The Fossil) and Dodes'kaden for their beauty and originality. The other pieces on the CD are powerful, but frightening. Even if you haven't seen "Empire of Passion" or "Woman in the Dunes", you can sense the eerie backgrounds to this music.

        I listened to this CD repeatedly for 2 weeks, put it away, and put it back on once or twice a week. It can be both meditative and stimulating.

        5 out of 5 stars Great CD!!.......2003-08-07

        This is a must for all trombonists and music historians!! The sound of these groups is just amazing! Nowhere else can you get a sound like you do with the instruments that these trombonists use. Where else can you hear a contrabass, bass, tenor, alto, soprano, and sopranino trombones all together? A great CD for a historical reference on the trombone also...tromobone chiors are one of the oldest forms of music, and THE oldest perfoming groups in the USA are the Moravian trombone choirs. This CD gives us a rare look into the past of how trombones were commonly used in centuries past, and how the tradition continues today.

        5 out of 5 stars Favorite Moravian chorales from childhood........1999-11-20

        Trombone choirs! I love them. Everytime I hear this recording, I see again the church of my childhood and the trombone choir standing out in the snow near the front steps playing Christmas chorales during the hour before the Christmas Eve service. Why were they out there a full hour before the service? If you wanted a seat, you had to arrive an hour early, because late comers sat in folding chairs in the cloakrooms, or stood in the back. That church was filled to brimming only on Christmas Eve, because music lovers came from miles away to hear traditional Moravian Christmas music, and where else could one possibly hear it? Some of it is on this recording. The words sung to track 8 are "All my heart this night rejoices...", and that sense of anticipation and pleasure is exactly what Moravians feel as they enjoy a night of great music, sung mostly by the people in the pews, not just the choirs. It's all here. The great songs from Advent, Lent, songs of repentance, forgiveness, joy, for baptising babies and burying old people. When you hear track 19, Hosanna, think of a room full of singers on Palm Sunday, echoing back and forth to each other, the little girls and women singing back to the boys and men. My only criticism is that there are perhaps too many songs in minor keys grouped together. They evoke too much sadness and start to sound like endless dirges. The musical interpretation and masterful rendering of the chorales is absolutely delightful, not only for us who hold all the words in our heads and are singing along, but also for those who will assign their own meaning to the music.
