5 out of 5 stars Unbelievable , this is Opera.......2007-06-26

These are opera melodies that have been adapted to some outstanding feature films. Looking at some of the scenes and hearing the music has enforced sight and sound. Even if you are not an opera buff or a movie buff you will be entralled by what you hear. You may even want to buy the film or the music album/

5 out of 5 stars For those who like the stirring operatic bits.......2004-04-29

I'm not a diehard opera fan. That means I can't sit through the no or low musical sections. After all, opera is a visual art as well as an aural one, and there's alot of low energy periods where one would have to be watching it live to avoid slipping into a coma. If that. I tend to like the arias and the duets. These are the bill of fare on this album, with a healthy portion of brain glue added by each piece's tie-in with a major motion picture. For instance, a favorite picture of mine is the Australian production of "Gallipoli", which depicts the carnage inflicted on Aussie and Kiwi troopers doing the Queen's dirty work with wave after wave of direct frontal infantry assaults against Turkish heavily fortified breastworks and murdurous interlocking fields of fire of many heavy machine gun positions and pre-sited mortar batteries. There is a certain eerie and sad scene depicting a couple of young Aussie junior officers, boys really, in the tent of a superior on the night before the early morning attack. The viewer has the superior vision of recorded history, while these apple cheeks have no inkling of the mailed fist that will hammer them down in a few hours. The older officer puts a platter on the crank up Victrola, and for most of us, we get our first introduction to the haunting strains of "Au Fond du Temple Saint" from the French opera "Pêcheurs de Perles". I'm sure a portion of the haunting and eerie qualities stem from my total lack of french language skills. That piece will forever be associated with the bloodbath at Gallipoli Peninsula, at least as far as my brain goes. And so it goes with many of the other pieces of music in this collection. From "Apocolypse Now" is included the best piece of music to attack an enemy by, "Ride of the Valkyries" from the famous AirMobile copter assault, an attack scene that redefined cinematic battle sequencing forever. Everyone should recognise at least one musical movie slice here.
Tie ins include Raging Bull, Fatal Attraction, and Someone to Watch Over Me.

I BOUGHT THIS CD SOMETIME AGO WHEN I WANTED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OPERA. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CD'S OUT WHEN CONSIDERING TRYING TO TURN YOUNG PEOPLE ON TO THE ARTS, ANYONE WHO LISTENS TO THIS WILL DEFINETLY HAVE AT LEAST ONE FAVORITE.

5 out of 5 stars Some of Opera's Best Gems.......2002-04-01

I've long been an opera fan, so you might expect me to sneer at a compilation. Not so! For opera fans, this is a "stroll down memory lane," offering some lovely jewels from well-loved operas. For those new to opera, this is a wonderful introduction. Even if you don't know the language or the story, you will be utterly transported by several of these arias.

Just to whet your appetite, here are a few tidbits about some of my favorites on this CD:

­- The angelic duet from Lakmé is about a sacred river in India whose banks are overflowing with fragrant spring flowers.

- In the duet from Les Pecheurs de Perles (Pearl Fishers), two men who are best friends sing rapturously about falling in love at first sight with a beautiful woman; for each it was an almost mystical experience. When they realize they are in love with the SAME woman, they are alarmed, and vow to not let anything destroy their friendship.

­- "Quando m'en vo" from La Bohème is really funny because a woman is bragging loudly about how popular she is, to make an ex-boyfriend jealous. (It works, and she wins him back.)

­- The second aria from La Bohème--Mimi's dying words to her lover Rodolfo and her dear friends--is beautiful and touching. However, you should also hear the glorious songs that Mimi and Rudolfo sing when they first fall in love! (Those are not in this collection.)

­- The dreamy and mysterious "Nessun Dorma" is sung by a man who eagerly anticipates being married to a beautiful princess the next day, but who may very well be put to death instead. His fate hangs in the balance as all the residents of ancient Peking stay awake all night, trying to discover his secret.

Of course, the only way to really know what opera is about is to go to a live performance, where you not only hear the glorious music but also enjoy the entertaining story, costumes, sets, and action. Good bets at first are operas by Puccini, Bizet, Mozart, Verdi, and Rossini--hold off on Wagner for a while! ....

For what it's meant to do, I would give this CD full marks (5 stars).

4 out of 5 stars Better than most all the ordinary FF soundtracks.......2007-01-24

First of all, people seem to be overly critical of the choir. They say that it sounds out of tune or whatever, but this is only because they were recorded live. In Advent: One-Winged Angel, the same choir sounds totally incredible. The choir itself isn't bad, it's the recording environment that was not so hot.
That said, I can say that this is a very impressive two CD set, even though several of the songs I don't recognize. The music is professionally composed and arranged, and just goes to show that Final Fantasy music is proffesional level. The only cons are the lesser sound quality of being recorded live and the MC tracks, which can get to be a bit long. The way they keep talking makes me really want to know what they're saying. My favorite pieces are:
1. One-Winged Angel: I do admit that the FFVII Reunion Tracks arrangement is better, but only because of the recording environment. This arrangement has a lot of cool new elements and an awesome sound. The only problems I see with this arrangement is the absent-minded microphone placement and a bit of background shuffling that is heard at one part. The shuffling is very quiet and you get used to it, but I'm just picky about these things. As for the microphone placement; whoever put one right next to the #%@$in' snare drum deproved the quality of the piece a bit much. The snare drum during the chorus is louder than any of the other parts, and the choir is already being a bit overpowered by the orchestra. This makes for a choral section that isn't heard well enough. Despite all these slight cons, however, this arrangement of the classic piece remains superb and awesome-sounding.
2. Liberi Fatali: Same choir rant as before. This arrangement doesn't sound quite as good as the original, but it's not really that different, it's still an incredible piece.
3. Melodies of Life: This arrangement is better, I think, than the original except for the singing. She sounded a lot more confident in the original. But aside from that, this song is a great classic.
4. Suteki Da Ne: The original was quite a bit better, both in sound quality and in the singing. Rikki was nervous during the performance, it is shown by her incessant breath-taking in the middle of phrases and low confidence in her voice. However, the instrumentation does sound nicely different in some spots, and Rikki's singing is still beautiful.
This album is a must-have for any FF freak, and is better than most all the ordinary FF soundtracks. Don't miss it.

5 out of 5 stars I love this CD........2004-02-23

Firstly, Mr. Gibbs -- why would anybody buy this if they haven't played Final Fantasy games?

Secondly, this is an amazing CD. With the exception of One-Winged Angel, every track on this CD is (in my opinion) the best orchestral version of these songs ever done. And this is coming from somebody who owns Celtic Moon, Grand Finale, Fithos Lusec, and a smattering of Orchestral Game Concert CDs.

Do yourself a favor and buy this CD. It really is excellent.

4 out of 5 stars For those who wanna get their FF orchestra groove on..........2004-02-20

Final Fantasy 20020220 is worth buying. It is a great CD to listen to if you want to hear orchestrated versions performed live, mistakes and all. That said, let me point out everything that is wrong with the performances, and why I did not give 20020220 a 5/5. As partial as I am to Final Fantasy music, I must criticize the singing in this performance. In both tracks that featured a choir (Liberi Fatali and One Winged Angel) it seemed like everyone was trying to outsing each other, the tenors in particular would sing awfully loud, while everyone else was drowned out. The soloists RIKKI and Emiko Shiratori did a fabulous job, in my opinon. Others said that they sounded nervous, I do not agree. The actual performance by the orchestra was brilliant. I especially liked Liberi Fatali, One Winged Angel, and Vamo' Alla Flamenco. I wish I could speak Japanese, because 8 of the 25 tracks on the 2 disc set are nothing but the concert MCs talking about stuff. All in all I would like to restate that FF20020220 is worth buying, but maybe you should play some of the FF games to hear these songs before you listen to the orchestra version, all the more to appreciate this masterpiece.

4 out of 5 stars The Fantasy Continues..........2003-06-10

Nobuo Uematsu truly holds true to the Final Fantasy music legacy he himself set down beginning with the Final Fantasy Symphonic Suite CDs. Although I do have a few complaints, my overall take on this album is extremely positive. I'd say my favourite renditions on this CD are "Vamo' Alla Flamenco", lush, rich arrangement for orchestra (which truly is the greatest symphonic rendering I've seen from almost any game composer [thanks to Shiro Hamaguchi]) and the brass-graced Final Fantasy VI's "Terra" / "Tina" (which almost lives up to the Grand Finale version). Basically, every single song on these two CDs were mind-blowing with the exceptions of the two most crucial ones, "Liberi Fatali" and "One-Winged Angel". Okay, fine... I've got to give credit where credit is due, Liberi Fatali isn't THAT bad. It falters near the end though, but the primary complaint isn't the symphonic elements (or even the annoying snare [?] drum... *grrr*), but rather the supposed choir they assigned. Not very harmonic or in-tune, but I still give it 4-stars.
To sum it all up, all very nice arrangements with those little differences which make it all the more enjoyable. Cons? The choir voices and the MC segments (I don't speak Japanese, so my apologies if you do and find them entertaining).

4 out of 5 stars One of the Best (non OST) Final Fantasy works.......2003-02-19

There hasn't been a live CD since the ill-fated "Symphonic Suite" many years ago and now there is this - quite simply put a live version of some of the best Final Fantasy songs. The Tokyo Philharmonic is on every beat and adds alittle more to the Final Fantasy melodies. The MC's get annoying and their Japanese is very hard to understand. The choice of songs was superb yet there is no "live feel" as most of the songs are played just as you would have heard them on another Final Fantasy CD. All in all, this is one of the best and one can easily see by some of its few flaws to its real beauty - the epitome of Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy work.

    5 out of 5 stars The American Fischer-Dieskau takes a risk, and wins.......2006-07-17

    This CD is out of print, and that's no surprise: songs by Berlioz, Wanger, and Liszt are known only to conoissuers. Hampson happens to be that and more. His crusade to bring every variety of classic song to the public parallels Fischer-Dieskau's efforts a generation ago. Like his illustrious predecessor Hampson is a master of many styles, an impeccable technician, and an innatley intelligent artist. One can neer lose by buying his riskier recitals.

    This is one of the most difficult to appreciate, I think, becasue except for a melodie or two by Verlioz, nothing here is familiar. The Wanger songs avoid the well-known Wessendonck lieder in favor of light and slight early songs, three of them in French (!) and all so charming the name of Wanger would never occur to an innocent listener.

    The heart of the recital are te Liszt songs. Rarely heard in the concert hall (if ever), Liszt's lieder output is very impressive, which is why artists as diverse as Barbara Bonney and Thomas Quasthoff have given us collections like this one. Hampson ofers 12 from a broad span of the composer's long life, and they span many emotions, from the tender to the boldly declamatory. Only the last, "Oh, quand je dors," is likely to be familiar. There is such art in the singing, and in Geoffrey Parsons' accompaniments, that every song here, with the exception of the Berlioz, sounds completely masterful (I don't find that Hampson has the real chanson style).

    Since this superb CD sells for pennies on the used market, it's very much worth anyone's time and attention. You'll hear a great singer at the peak of his powers.

    5 out of 5 stars Truly, romantically worth it.......2004-07-09

    I love Romantic music, poetry and painting. The Lieder sung here by Thomas Hampson have all 3: obviously the music and the poetry, which are wonderful, and the painting is given by Mr Hampson's voice. A more romantic voice I cannot imagine. I listen to it constantly...

    4 out of 5 stars romantic indeedý.......1999-09-01

    ... are the selections presented here. Thomas Hampson's voice appears to have an ideal weight for these intimate delicate songs, his thoughtful detailed reading of them is delightful. Purchasing this CD, I expected a collection of lesser-known lieder, but found instead German and French alternatives to Italian "salon songs" of Bellini, late Rossini, or Donizetti, although written later and most carrying a strong sense of German romanticism, found in the poetry of Goethe, Heine, or Uhland, as well as in the fiction works of E.T.A. Hoffman and his contemporaries. Hugo's stirring verse found its way thrice to this CD.

    Hampson's finely crafted presentations remind the listener of Fischer-Dieskau, if missing some the latter's celebrated smoothness of tone. It's hard to believe "Mignonne" was written by Wagner! Most likely, it was one of composer's controversial experiments with French style, and we are lucky to hear it survive the test of time and Wagner "purists". (I do prefer Rienzi to Siegfried, any day though, thus it's a biased opinion, right?) To my great surprise, Liszt's songs vary - some are exciting and melodic ("Go not Happy Day" or "a Tombe et la Rose"), others are more like recitatifs, sung very quietly, with recurring dreamy melancholic quality to them, but with none of Schubert's poignancy or Mahler's edginess.

    There is a great deal of harmony between the singer and Geoffrey Parsons' piano. Like Jorg Demus or John Wustman, Parsons does not forcibly take the center stage, yet his accompaniment is always ideally timed and he often engages in sparkling dialogue with the singer (listen to Les deux Grenadiers!)

    Indeed a highly enjoyable disc with a few surprises.

      I got this for my grand daughter and decided to open it un and listen it to it before I sent it to her. I loved it so much that I kept this copy for myself and bought another one for her. I also bought one to give as a baby shower gift! The songs and music on these CD's are just so nice! I find them VERY relaxing and peaceful. I think this should be a must for every baby. My grand daughter loves it. It immediately calms down a fussy baby. You can't put a price on that!

      I love this CD collection. My son loves to cuddle and listen to soothing and dulcet tones of the author reading the story. By the second track he is getting drowsy and by 5th one, the eyes are closed. It's the only CD that keeps him entertained till he falls asleep in the crib. The other CD's are great at stopping cranky moods. I don't know what it is about this collection but it's just made for little ears!

      5 out of 5 stars A fitting tribute to a too little-known artist.......1999-11-28

      Today the name of Frances Alda is remembered mainly as having collaborated on several Caruso discs, but she was a fine singer in her own right, as this excellent Romophone set proves.

      Alda was a student of the celebrated Mathilde Marchesi, who also taught Nellie Melba. Indeed, at Alda's audition, Marchesi told her husband, "Salvatore, I have found the new Melba!" Alda was in fact good enough to present a threat to the more established diva, who insisted that Oscar Hammerstein chose between the two of them: "Either Alda or Myself!" runs the famous telegram.

      Mme. Alda was one of the most colorful operatic personalities of the early twentieth century. She was married to Giulio Gatti-Cassazza, head of the Met at the time, but she did not abuse her influence as a more capricious diva might have. She had a dry, caustic wit, as evidenced in her autobiography, "Men, Women, and Tenors" (a thoroughly enjoyable read, by the way).

      These recordings present the voice behind the legend, and an excellent voice it is, too. A lyric soprano of substantial weight, she was careful to remain well inside the lyric fach, venturing only a single Aida as an experiment. Her favorite role was Mimi, and it shows: her two arias from "La Boheme" are magical. Her high notes glitter, and the low range is full and round. The voice is even throughout the registers, a hallmark of the Marchesi school.

      The transfers, as on all Romophone editions, are expertly done, allowing the voice to come through with added freshness and clarity. A wonderful set, one of the best of the series.

      1 out of 5 stars Boring, Repetetive, Made-for-TV Movie Theme Music.......2003-04-30

      If it doesn't bother you to listen to the same maudlin, overly sentimental musical phrase over and over and over and over and over again, ad infinitem, by all means, purchase this album and enjoy. Be forwarned, *both* songs on this album contain the aforementioned same musical phrase. You may find yourself wondering if your CD player is just stuck.

      The music is reminiscent of the soundtrack to a made-for-tv movie in which a young mother dies of cancer in the autumn, leaving behind her mourning husband and two small children - just WAY too sentimental, "sweeping" and "sweet" sounding to be taken seriously.

      If you are looking for pleasant listening music and are into musical minimalism, try some Eno, Glass or Arvo Part. There are composers out there who are doing FAR more interesting things with the technique of repetition. Don't waste your money on Aeoliah.

      5 out of 5 stars Music entrepreneur.......2000-08-15

      I've heard many mediocre piano albums by various contemporary artists/composers. However, this album by Aeoliah, is truly an outstanding album. It evokes feelings of the neo-classic era and radiates musical images and the genius of such brilliant composers as Franz Lizst, Chopin, and Gabriel Faure. Angel's Touch flows with an elegant style and grace, with beautiful piano melodies woven in and out of finely orchestrated strings, angelic choirs,and harp arpegios, brining back the romance of the classic era but with a new, more contemporary twist. A very refined work that touches the heart deeply with its elegance, depth, and profound beauty.

        Customer Reviews:

        5 out of 5 stars a MOST NECESSARY recording! .......2006-07-10

        First, I don't know how, but amazon lost my original review of this disc. My list of tags was still there, but not the review itself, so I will do a replacement one.

        This is actually "The BEST of Virgil Fox, Volume 3"! Therefore, it belongs in your collection, along with Volumes 1 & 2!

        The entire album is simply awesome (as all Virgil's releases were), and it is without doubt the hardest of all to find. Buy a used copy on here, it is the ONLY way to get one!

        Highlights are:
        The Durafle Suite Number 5.......very rare! I know of no other recording of it! It is simply beautiful, and sadly neglected. Certainly reason enough to purchase this recording!

        The Boellmann Suite Gothique is just wonderful, and, another very good reason for purchasing this set.

        And, the Vierne and Dupre pieces are played with such magnificent "Virgilian" splendor...all the fond memories of the Riverside concerts come flooding back from so many years ago. Simply put, (as Fox's fans know) there was never anyone to match him...even Liberace couldn't touch him for outrageousness, and of course the Organ is a much more "splendorous" instrument!

        As I said above, do yourself (and your collection) a favor and add a copy of this album to it (even a used one from a secondary dealer on amazon here). You will not be sorry! I wish you many happy hours of listening! ~operabruin

        5 out of 5 stars Organ Music from France.......2000-12-21

        This may be the only recording of the Durufle Suite No 5 for organ available. I've had the original vinyl since I started organ and I've still never tired of listening to it. It's very dazzling stuff, yet incredibly beastly to play. This is GREAT organ music. The Durufle performance alone is worth the price of the CD.

        5 out of 5 stars Fox once again Plays with Beautiful Tonal Colors.......1999-09-21

        When hearing the Names Franck, and Dupre one automatically thinks France, but when Fox is at the Organ Playing those pieces full of that rich tonal color of the Chorist Reeds one thinks Heavy Organ with Fox in the days of Riverside.
