When Wagner set the Ring to music, he intended the orchestra to act in the fashion of a chorus from a classic Greek tragedy--setting the mood and commenting on the action. In order to allow a nonverbal musical line to reflect on the plot, Wagner developed a psychologically and musically complex symbology to communicate his thoughts to the listener. From the beginning the Ring has spawned numerous written commentaries on the relationships of the motif structure, but by using examples from the Decca Ring recording, Deryck Cooke's thoughtful spoken commentary is by far the most accessible guide for either the fledgling Ring enthusiast or the seasoned veteran. --Christian C.

Ring introduction critique.......2006-11-04

This is very worthwhile, at the same time it requires time, patience and attention, but it does provide some keys to better enjoyment of a sensational piece of music.

FASCINATING STUDY FOR NOVICES AND AFFICIONADOS ALIKE.......2006-08-16

This may look an intimidating, daunting and dull prospect - a 2+ hour lecture on the motifs in the Ring. Don't be put off. Whether you're a relative novice to the Ring and want to find out what it's all about, more experienced with a desire to understand the composer's methods better or an afficionado who thinks he knows it all inside out, there is great pleasure as well as elucidation to be had from this set. Originally made to accompany the Decca Solti Ring, it contains a multitude of musical illustrations taken from those recordings as well as some specially recorded by Solti just for this Introduction.

It wasn't the first time this has been tried. The famous HMV sets from the late 20's also included recorded examples of over 100 motifs. (These, by the way, are available as part of the Pearl reissue of those wonderful HMV recordings). What that set lacked was the wonderful insights as well as the approachability of the talk by Deryck Cooke. Cooke was a great and much missed musicologist - a Mahler expert responsible for the performing edition of the Tenth Symphony still most played today, a fascinating explorer into the nature of music's basic building-blocks in his excellent book, The Language of Music, and an inspiring and elucidating critic of Wagner's work as shown by the fascinating book he left unfinished at his death, I Saw the World End.

On these CDs he does much more than list the leitmotifs and identify them as calling-cards. He shows the amazingly integrated and organic growth of the musical material that Wagner uses throughout his vast work. He demonstrates how motifs can change their sense and meaning as they evolve through the drama. And he shows how the complex combinations of motifs can radically advance both the musical and the dramatic narrative of the piece. There are even places where he corrects the misinterpretation of some of the motifs that had become ingrained from early commentators' false labels.

This set should engage and enlighten anyone with an interest in Wagner's huge and inexhaustible tetralogy. Do give it a try - no matter how far down the road to Wagnerianism you are.

Welcome back to a classic analysis.......2006-05-28

Deryck Cooke's lecture series upon THE RING is almost as much a classic by now as the Solti RING cycle, with which it was originally issued on LP, and from which it derives its musical examples. The difference is that whereas the Solti RING has been continuously in print ever since it was completed, and was among the first opera sets to benefit from the CD revolution, the Cooke analysis was for long almost totally unobtainable. Now we have it back. It should be welcomed: it is a classic. Cooke's mellow, deep voice with the hint of a Celtic burr - which made him ideal on BBC radio - patiently explains Wagner's melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic metamorphoses to such good effect that if you own this recording, you really require no other RING analysis. (A pity about the abrupt beginnings and endings of too many vocal and orchestral illustrations, though.) Musicology lost a fine, sensitive thinker with Cooke's premature death in 1976.

If all you want is dilettantish baby food, there are plenty of dumbed-down Wagner commentaries on the market, stretching from Anna Russell's famous monologue (which doesn't pretend to be anything other than a parody aimed at morons) to the latest standard-issue "Wagner-was-a-Nazi-boo-hiss" feuilleton (which, unfortunately, does). Without reasonable score-reading skill you will find Cooke useless, however diligently you have ploughed through Marx, Jung, Freud, or other gurus purportedly relevant to THE RING. Cooke expects you to use your brains and your musical sense. Quelle horreur. At today's BBC his "elitism" would render him unemployable.

Essential for Understanding Wagner's Ring Cycle.......2006-05-15

I originally bought this set on vinyl in the early 70s when I discovered the Ring in college. I studied the records and booklet assiduously, and after about three run-throughs I finally started getting it. Wow! Thirty-five years later, I still remember Mr. Cooke's analyses of various motive families, and I don't know how I could have mastered and loved the Ring without him. I now own this set on CD and listen again on the rare occasion of attending a Ring performance. My wife calls me a "Ring nut," but of course I'm nuts about many other things as well.

Bottom line, buy this set and study it if the Ring has captivated you as it has countless others. The presentation is dry, but sticking with it brings measureless and longlasting rewards.

Very Functional.......2006-03-19

This CD set is excellent for what it sets out to do: present the leitmotives of the Ring according to their relationship to one another and their role in developing both characters and plotlines. Deryck Cooke's lectures on each motive are very insightful, very helpful at cueing the listener into the semantic aspect of Wagner's orchestral writing. The one drawback is that the musical examples are a bit jarring. Without fade-ins or -outs, the engineering is quite barbaric. And though the orchestra was, I believe, conducted by Solti, and is beautifully done, the vocal performances can be quite unpleasant. Point being: this is not background music, but in accomplishing what it sets out to do, it is very successful, and I don't know of anything else like it.

Good for its time...........2007-06-18

but dated now.

'80's Heavy Metal is now so dated that this album lost all its fire only a few years after it was released, and most of those bands from that period have gone the way of the Dodo. The sound of this album is only one part of the problem: the guitars sound thin compared to the heavy albums of today, and the bass and drums are just completely lost in the mix.

The other problem goes to the songwriting: nothing wrong with the subject matter, but musically the world has circumnavigated the sun too many times for these standard '80's riffs to cut it anymore.

It gets 3 stars simply because it stars RJ Dio. I'm honestly surprised it's even available these days!

Watered down a bit, but still solid.......2007-06-01

Dio's debut album, "Holy Diver" was a metal classic, so Dio and company decided to do the same thing again. . .plus a few changes and compromises presumably intended to gain more airplay. Now, there really isn't anything wrong with this in theory, especially since metal like this was mainstream at the time anyway, but, in practice, these changes weakened the sound a fair bit. The biggest hit, by far, comes in the production. The guitars are weak and distant and just totally wussed out. Now, "Holy Diver" wasn't exactly the most bone-crushingly heavy album you're ever gonna here, and it was more about the energy and catchiness than the intensity. Nevertheless, this is metal, and you need some crunch, and "The Last in Line" just doesn't have enough. Beyond this, they've also increased the number of synths they used. I've no strict ban against synths in metal, but they need be used sparingly and well, which doesn't always happen here. They're not a huge problem, but a few tracks are weakened by poor synth work.

More significant than the minor changes in the sound, however, is the drop off in the quality of the songwriting. Most of the songs here are quite good, a few very good, but it's got nowhere near the consistency of "Holy Diver". Like that album, "The Last in Line" opens with a speed metal opener followed by the more mid-paced title track. Both are solid, if not totally remarkable. ("I Speed At Night" would've been a better opener, as it's another speed-metal number, but just better than "We Rock") "Breathless" is the first real standout, a good, driving mid-paced track with one of those unforgettable Dio choruses. "One Night in the City" is even better, and probably the best track here. It's one of the most overtly commerical tracks here, a quaso-ballad story song, but it's still the strongest track, with Dio's most intense, operatic vocals on the album.

The second half isn't as solid as the first, though it too has no obvious filler. (Though "Mystery" come close.) "Egypt (The Chains Are On)" is probably the strongest track here. Honestly, there should probably be more going on in it, as it's meant to be an epic, but it never gets dull, and Dio's overwhelming vocals carry the day once again. The lyrics are a bit silly, but that's part of the fun. "Evil Eyes" is probably the next best late track, and is fairly comparable to "Breathless", if not quite as good, though it suffers from some unneeded synth work.

I'm coming across as more critical of "The Last in Line" than I actually feel. It's a solid metal album through and through. Still, comparisons to "Holy Diver" are inevitable, and "The Last in Line" is bound to come up short when looked at this way. Still, it's more than worthwhile in its own right.

Classic sophomore effort; 9 out of 10.......2007-05-13

After releasing the landmark recording Holy Diver, the pressure was on for Dio to produce a follow-up that would do it justice. 1984's Last In Line was that album, perhaps not quite as perfect as it's predecessor but very close.

THE PACKAGING: Last in Line sports terrific cover art, with enslaved minions portrayed laboring in scene of ruin and destruction. The demon Murray (Dio's unofficial mascot) looms over the scene, his hands formed into Ronnie James Dio's trademark horns. Like most pre-CD jacket art, it was MUCH cooler on a 12-inch LP sleeve instead of these tiny CD jewel cases. There's not much to the liner notes, just a track listing, credits, and the chorus lyrics for the song "Last In Line".

THE BAND: The same lineup that recorded Holy Diver is featured here as well, with the rhythm section consisting of Vinny Appice on drums and Jimmy Bain on bass providing the foundation for the guitar histrionics of Vivian Campbell and powerful vocals courtesy of the great Ronnie James Dio. This core lineup is now augmented by keyboardist Claude Schnell, who was initially hired for the Holy Diver concert tour and wound up sticking around to record the next few albums.

THE SOUND: If anything the musicians sound even better than they did on Holy Diver. This band positively smokes, and the experience of playing live together night after night on the Holy Diver tour did wonderous things for their interaction as a group. Individually thay're great players; the tour turned them into a fully integrated machine. Guitarist Vivian Campbell plays with the same fire that characterised his Holy Diver performance, but with a refinement that speaks of greater maturity. Drummer Vinny Appice is powerful and dynamic, and bassist Jimmy Bain plays with his usual solidity and outdoes himself in terms of inventiveness; dig his bassline on the title track. RJD is in rare form, turning in one of the best vocal performances of his career. Although keyboards aren't heavily featured on this album Claude Schnell actually manages to contribute quite a bit, adding texture to the songs in subtle ways. RJD himself serves as producer on this recording, and the experience he gained in recording Holy Diver shows through tremendously here, creating a much fuller and more balanced sound. I don't understand why so many reviewers are clamoring for a remaster; most remasters I've heard only serve to screw up great classic recordings.

THE SONGS: Like Holy Diver, Last In Line is simply jam-packed with classic tunes. Opening track "We Rock" certainly does, and it's immediately followed by the breathtaking title track, featuring arching chords and RJD's patented fantasy-fiction lyricism. It's one of Dio's best songs ever. The fast-paced "Breathless" is one of the weaker tracks featured here, but it's followed by the great hard rocker "I Speed At Night" and the mid-tempo stomper "One Night In The City", which is a great change of pace and finds RJD pursuing more real-world lyrical territory. "Evil Eyes" is next, another great fast rocker (this album is full of 'em) with some killer riffing from Vivian Campbell, and then comes "Mystery", a mysterious foray into pop-metal territory that somehow works. "Eat Your Heart Out" is the one true throwaway here; it's interesting but is ruined by an awful chorus. The album closes with a true classic, the slow and powerful epic "Egypt (The Chains Are On)". Another of Dio's top ten.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Seven killer songs, one average rocker and one stinker. You really can't ask for much more than that. It's not quite as good as Holy Diver, but then what is? You can't really go wrong with classic Dio, and this album is a real gem. Don't hesitate to pick it up.

He does it again !.......2007-05-05

Another great Rock cd from Ronnie James, let's Rock !

More great music from metal's finest!.......2007-04-15

Ronnie James Dio has got to be the finest metal singer of all time! Another great release from Dio and this disc continues where "HOLY DIVER" left off. There is no filler tracks here and I think the title track has got to be one of Dio's best(I love the video!). If you have not heard this disc and you are just learning about Dio, this disc is a good place to start your lesson.

Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12

This is the "Merry Widow" with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved this rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with the word "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note with an incressing crescendo and fortissimo louder than the chorus and holding the final high note---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

"Silva Screen releases film culture European style".......2001-11-28

Believe Silva Screen saved the best for last...the ongoing series comes to an end with "Arthouse Cafe 3"...this time highlighting not just the scores from France, but the entire European community...thus with have "Classic European Film Music" ...some of the best known composers around ~ Enrique Bacalov, Gato Barbieri, Van Den Budenmayer, Klaus Doldinger, Goblin, Maurice Jarre, Gustav Mahler, Ennio Morricone, Zbigniew Preisner, Nino Rota, Ilona Sekacz and Mikis Theodorakis...each composer so different in their approach to the story-line, but always setting the mood for each character to act out his or her part.

There are several stand outs on this compilation that need mentioning ~ "IL POSTINO"(Bacalov)..."LA DOLCE VITA"(Rota)..."Z"(Theodorakis)..."CINEMA PARADISO"(Morricone)..."PHAEDRA"(Theodorakis)..."ARMARCORD"(Rota)..."THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VERONIQUE"(Van den Budenmayer/Preisner)...and my all-time favorite "ZORBA THE GREEK"(Theodorakis), loved the film with Anthony Quinn, and the music was so inspiring, so earthy and festive, with a hint sadness reflections of daily life, with its ups and downs, will never forget the impact this had on me when I first heard his music.

Under the watchful eye of James Fitzpatrick(producer), featuring The City Of Prague Philharmonic...conducted by Paul Bateman and Nic Raine...Mark Ayres producing Electronic Music...so my "film-score-buff" friends, this is a keeper, make room for one of the most outstanding collections to come out of the SILVA SCREEN vaults!

Total Time: 71:01 on 14 Tracks ~ Silva Screen Records STD-5019 ~ (1998)

arthouse cafe 3.......2000-09-25

I found this selection of European Film Music harmonically well put together...although I expected to have the themes played a little longer - some are only two to three minutes long - This takes away from the beauty of the melody. Otherwise the combination between the themes in "Il Postino" and "Cinema Paradiso" or "Zorba" combined with "Amarcord" and "Das Boot" makes it a very atractive C.D., offering "the unexpectated".

Review of The Conversation.......2003-11-16

If you like Glassjaw, Hey Mercedes, or Knapsack, this CD should be in your player. It combines influences from all directions in a melodic and artistic album. This band was on the verge of stardom when they came by our local venue. The band has since broken up, but the vocalist is continuing solo.

Ok, disregarding the cheesiness of the title for this review, this CD really is a good buy. The Conversation blends, powerful, distorted guitar riffs with catchy melodic vocals. And the diversity of the drum beats, of course, bring it all together. The lyrics, unlike most lyrics in mainstream rock these days, are actually meaningful if you listen to them. But don't misunderstand me, these guys aren't anywhere near mainstream. They've got a definite punk/indie influence but you can't really put this band in a specific genre of music. Not slow and whiny enough to be emo, not fast paced enough to be punk, these guys fall perfectly in the middle. If you've ever heard of the Jealous Sound, that's who these guys remind me of, but they're a little harder. If you're looking for powerful vocals you can sing along too matched with guitar sounds that are impossible to get out of your head, buy this album!!! It rules.
