5 out of 5 stars The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

3 out of 5 stars Judy Garland Please!.......2007-01-21

It was said that if Judy Garland had lived the role would have been hers - if you could gotten her on the set every day. But there was no doubt that she would have been the perfect age for the part and that her voice even while she was struggling in the late 60's would have been anything but better than Lucy's. If only....

2 out of 5 stars Bad Casting/Poor recording.......2006-11-03

The soundtrack to jerry Herman's Mame with Lucille Ball, Bea Arthur and Robert Preston is a recording for hard core Mame Fans only, and even they have to bite down hard to make it pallatable. Primarily due to the exceedingly poor soundtrack quality, this soundtrack is one of the poorest recordings I have ever heard! Lucille Ball is totally miscast as Mame, although she try's very hard. Beatrice Arthur is wonderful as on the B'way cast album w/ Angela Landsburry. Robert Preston is the one presence I actually had to have the disc for. I may copy them to another disc, so I don't have to put up with the rest of this dreadful recording, so full of noise you're looking for the noise reduction button!!!Not for the timid!

5 out of 5 stars Lucy you did a wonderful job !!!!!.......2006-01-22

Lucille Ball, gave it her best shot and I think she Sang, and Danced wonderful. Id rather hear Lucy !!! than that LOUD british singer Angela Lansbury, she seemend to screaming most of her songs in her OBC !! Lucy was more beliveble in her singing, So move out of the way Angela Lucille Ball is Mame !!!

3 out of 5 stars Disappointing,but worth a listen.......2006-01-11

The main reason for buying this CD is to hear Jerry Herman's lovely score.It's always worth listening to,but this version is
like the movie itself-a major disappointment.There are a few
good things on the disc-the title track,Robert Preston,Beatrice
Arthur,and Jane Connell.But the rest of the cast simply can't
sing,and Fred Werner's musical direction is mediocre at best.
And the worst thing of all is Lucille Ball.Sure,she tries hard,but
let's face it-as "I Love Lucy" proved,she simply was not a musical comedy performer(and I'm a Lucy fan!)There is no doubt
that Angela Lansbury should have played Mame,but just as they
did with "My Fair Lady" and Julie Andrews,Warner Brothers didn't
consider her a big enough name for the box office.Overall,this is an acceptable soundtrack,but if you want the best "Mame"
album,get the Broadway cast recording instead.

3 out of 5 stars Three stars for third-rate.......2005-12-25

This 1974 disaster all but ended Auntie Mame's career -- and Lucille Ball's. Though to get a full scope of the bad you must see the movie if you dare this soundtrack gives broad hints. If Lucy was photographed through gauze some of her vocals (like the notorious solo duet leading off "If He Walked Into My Life") sound as though she was recorded through it. Compounding the travesty the arranger Ralph Burns turned the grande dame of Beekman Place into a singing tart, with keeyute shticks that suggest less a musical triumph than a musical sitcom. Not everyone suffers and dies; Robert Preston is the apex of mellow crooning the film's one new tune, "Loving You", which starts off hauntingly then swoons to Lucy's gauze; and there is no stopping the trouper in Bea Arthur. But casting Lucy was a mistake, a mistake compounded by a tone-deaf production. My Mame is still Angela Lansbury's, and Goddard Lieberson's.

P. S. The Warner Music folks must have laughed when they turned this album into a limited-edition price gouge. There is no difference between the current CD and the LP; the timings on Rhino Handmade's site are identical to the dust jacket's. Whoever said "A fool and his money are easily parted" was thinking record collectors.

    5 out of 5 stars Very nice cover of beatles music.......2004-08-03

    This is a very nice adaptation of Beatles music. The arrangements are quite original with just enough of the familiar melodies to feel comfortable. This is a nice companion to "Friends".

    5 out of 5 stars 'Norwegian Wood' the BEST Beatles tribute album ever!.......2001-07-24

    Danish insturmentalists Trio Rococo's absolutely stunning and beautiful 1995 album "Norwegian Wood" is one of those hidden treasures, a diamond in the rough, waiting to be discovered by YOU. Simply, it is the best Beatles tribute album ever. For any fan of string/woodwinds, insturmental trios, and the Beatles of course, this is absolutely an ESSENTIAL album to have. Stunning arrangements of such Beatles hits as "Eleanor Rigby", "Here Comes The Sun" (my favorite), "Daytripper", "I am the Walrus", and "Blackbird" are recreated with the same inginuity and creativity in which they were originally written and created, and in such a incredible fashion that it's absolutely... beyond words. I strongly recommend getting this album, at any cost or expense. It's WORTH IT!

    5 out of 5 stars Strong Music In Its Own Right.......2000-02-26

    This album is most immediately recommended to those who already know the songs. Putting on "Because" and filling in the words in your own mind while the instruments play the classic song in a whole new way permits you whole new insights into how it is that, because the world is round, it turns me on -- insights the Beatles themselves may not have had when they first recorded the tune. On the other hand, this is strong classical music with a character all its own, and can be enjoyed entirely as that as well -- my girlfriend Sarah and I like to put it on for our romantic moments.

    5 out of 5 stars Well crafted and beautifully rendered.......2000-02-20

    This is not some sappy boiled down elevator music. But rather, these are interestingly arranged and artfully performed renditions of some of the Beatles' most enduring tunes. The Trio Rococo plays them like the classics that they are.

    5 out of 5 stars A must-have CD........1999-01-06

    Norwegian Wood is a wonderful CD to have in your collection. It is a collection of Beatles songs redone in a classical style. Even if you are not a Beatles fan, the music is wonderful to relax to. And if you are a Beatles fan, you'll enjoy your favorites in different way.

        If you are looking for a minimally adequate "Don Pasquale," here it is. I take it on faith that the (adequate) singers are warbling in English--although long passages might just as well be in Serbo-Croatian or Old Icelandic.

        "Don Pasquale" is, nevertheless, a true comic and melodic gem that rises above even the most ham-handed, mush-mouthed performance, hence the three stars.

          5 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to both the life and the work.......2001-08-10

          Not having known very much at all about Chopin, I cannot vouch for the accuracy in the Naxos entry in their CD and cassette Biography series; but I can vouch for the enjoyment (NA 421912) afforded me.

          Written and produced by Jeremy Siepmann, this audio-bio not only tells the strange story of Chopin's life but also includes generous examples of his music, drawn from the bottomless pit of Naxos musical CDs. An excellent idea was to use actors for the voices of Chopin (Anton Lesser), George Sand and other females in his life (Elaine Claxton and Karen Archer), and other male acquaintances (Neville Jason). It is the kind of reading that would fascinate even if the work were fictional.

          His letters are particularly fascinating, especially as they are read dramatically by the small cast; and one would rather hear about all his faults--physical and psychological--from people who knew him well. Perhaps his strange epistolary relationship with his Titus is dwelt upon a bit too much, but such are the times (then and now).

          My only criticism in a negative direction is the length of the musical examples. I do not really think the entire "Revolutionary Etude" had to be played or the entire "Funeral March"; a minute or two with a fadeout would have been fine, especially on repeated hearings where one wants the facts. Nevertheless, highly recommended.
