Customer Reviews:
Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04
This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!
Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12
This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!
Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20
Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!
Frank's view.......2006-08-19
This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.
Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08
I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.
The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!
I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.
The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Most druggy music chooses clearly between ecstasy and horror; Anthony Gonzalez deliberately blurs the emotional borders. The French musician, now a one-man-band following the departure of partner Nicolas Fromageau, communicates an awareness that even as the darkest trips have a sick thrill to them, the most pleasurable parts of a lysergic voyage have a creepy aftertaste. On the opener, "Moon Child," you can hear both creepiness and pleasure, as a lucid yet happily stoned female voice reveals that "The whole universe will glow," contrasting ominously with the sort of swelling background choirs Pink Floyd amassed when it was time for their big production numbers. And excitement and fear meld on "Don't Save Us From the Flames"; surreal snippets of lyrics ("Out of the flames/ A piece of brain in my hair/ The wheels are melting/ A ghost is screaming your name") are followed by the name "Tina" in a moan all-but indistinguishable from the airy synthesizers. Gonzalez is less adept at constructing structurally-complex compositions than at tunefully arranging sound effects--repetitive keyboard licks that could've been swiped from a '70s PBS documentary soundtrack and bone-scraping blasts of My Bloody Valentine guitar are among his favorite tricks. But his methods are justified by his sense of brevity, and careful alternating between two speeds--soft epic space-trance and vintage shoe-gazer rave-up--adds to the hallucinatory feel. --Keith Harris

Blade Runner, without the blades or the running........2007-04-01
Let's define beauty. There's a couple types. There's "as beautiful as a rock in a cop's face" beauty, and there's also "frilly dresses, makeovers, and rainbows" beauty. One type yields better art. Guess which one.
Sure, it's possible to mix the two. In fact, it's encouraged. But that hasn't happened with this record. For all the pompous audacity of comparing this to My Bloody Valentine, there is no edge to "Before the Dawn Heals Us." Where Loveless suggests an entire organic spectrum of emotion, with a tenderized heart hiding behind the depressive and angry gloom of white noise guitars, M83's dry, soulless drum machines and keyboard arrangements miss the mark most of the time. Maybe it's unfair to compare M83 to a defining record of the '90s.
Huh. Maybe so.
Most insipid is "Farewell/Goodbye," which brings to mind the Blade Runner score as composed by an interior decorator. It's a damn long goodbye, too, clocking in at 5:32's worth of repetitive synth pad swells, faux theremin, and whispered melodrama. The only people tasteless enough to actually want to listen to this likely run planetariums and wear turtleneck sweaters with rainbow embroidery.
Something like "Unrecorded" (from M83's Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts) managed a drifty, spaced-out vibe with enough musical variation to keep things interesting. They repeat that success here somewhat with "*" and perhaps "Don't Save Us From the Flames," although neither song can claim the mesmeric quality of "Unrecorded," or of other shoegaze groups they get lumped in with. Try the latest Amusement Parks on Fire record for a pleasant mixture of beauty with volume.
The endlessly slow swells of synthesized strings and woodwinds here bring to mind space at its cheesiest, composition at its nadir, and people watching the Discovery channel in awe without ever detouring to look up the source material. Don't save this one from the flames. Chuck it toward the sun. If the aliens find it instead of the Bach we sent them, they'll assume we're all interior decorators.
fin de siecle, fin du monde.......2007-02-13
A certain apocalyptic shadow hangs over "Before The Dawn Heals Us," a distinct feeling of scrambling for the few necessary supplies and the connections with our loved ones which alone will sustain us after the HUGE, IMPENDING DISASTER. This album's cinematic scope is present not only in the dynamics, which veer from soft crickets in the background of certain tracks to immense walls of dense sound that channel Kevin Shields and Sigur Ros simultaneously; but also in the feelings of panic and bliss that are alternately evoked -- sometimes the music is claustrophobic, sometimes open and expansive to the point of inducing agoraphobia. One of BTDHU's main strengths is that it is "electronica" that is not solely beat-driven -- there is no easy 4/4 to hang onto and stabilize the listener. This only serves to increase the listener's sense of hurtling toward some unavoidable event.
Melodically simple, emotionally effective, this M83 release listens like the soundtrack to a David Lynch film about worldwide disaster and its survivors.
Breathtaking.......2007-01-06
I haven't called an album "Breathtaking" in a long time. I can't even remember the last time I did. But listening to Before the Dawn Heals Us from beginning to end, when there's not much going on around you and you're just sort of sitting on the bus at night or going for a fairly long car ride...It gives you this really great feeling.
BTDHU is one of the most beautiful albums I've heard in a long time.
It's sort of a...Post-Rock/Electronica/Indie thing. If you're into post-rock, definitely consider giving M83 a listen. You won't be disappointed.
Suffers from a loss of ideas.......2007-01-06
Overall the new M83 album fulfills what you'd expect from an M83 album, moody electronica with synthesized choirs and distorted guitars combined to create an ethereal cocoon of noise. For the most part the album works, but upon repeated listenings it becomes more and more clear that many of the songs are actually 3-4 note motifs that cycle through intensity while a new chord is played underneath them. These songs are great calm inducing works and remind me of Pieter Bourkes score for the Insider (although M83 has never written anything as serene as Iguazu). What is lacking, is more variation in song structure, which is the very reason I gave it three stars. Having a handful of songs that sound different from the rest does not introduce enough diversity to make this a full blown success.
Musique colorýe des ýmotions.......2006-04-25
Beaucoup de gens savent que M83 comme collaborateur de musique avec d'autres bandes comme la partie de placebo ou de bloc ou le mode de Depeche pour se rem?lange. Mais on s'av?re qu'Anthony Gonzalez est un g?nie vivant qui a pris du temps de cr?er un album conceptuel juste ressembl? ? d'un rose moderne Floyd de jour. Lyrically peut ne pas ?tre aussi profond que Floyd rose mais la cr?ation musicale sages en effet. Cet album est une conglom?ration de la gamme diff?rente des ?motions de la crainte ? la tristesse ? la tranquilit? ? la fin joviale et soulag?e. Cet album exige une attention ?motive ? appr?cier. Assur?ment, un des meilleurs albums de 2005. Svp temps de prise d'appr?cier l'album. Faites- confiancemoi, vous obtiendra accroch?.
D'autres bandes sugg?r?es comme miaulent, retarde, Mogwai, Godspeed que vous noircissez l'empereur, Kent, maman, Kasabian, et Gravenhurst etc.

A young master.......2000-08-04
There are so many great young jazz pianists out there right now, that's it's easy to take them for granted. Cyrus Chestnut is one of the very best, and he shows that with "The Dark Before the Dawn," his best release for my money.
Chestnut features shimmering single-note runs and thunderous chords. There's some McCoy Tyner in his playing, strong blues and a lot of church, but he's put it all together to create a sound that is his own. One of the great strengths of this CD is its variety, but you always hear Cyrus's distinctive voice.
In the course of this set, for example, he gives us the Tyneresque "Steps of Trane," the classical/jazz blend "Baroque Impressions," the standard "My Funny Valentine," and the bluesy "Wright's Rolls and Butter." There's also spiritualism ("It Is Well with My Soul") that doesn't even get near being trite. Despite all the musical bases that he touches, Chestnut never seems unfocused, nor is his attack forced. He seems genuinely comfortable no matter what he chooses to play.
We can all look forward to the many years of playing that Chestnut hopefully has. I think we'll find that this fine pianist has inexhaustible wells of inspiration from which to draw. What a treat for us to be able to listen.
y'gotta be kiddin'. . ........2000-07-07
rate Cyrus Chestnut? Have you heard his BAROQUE IMPRESSIONS on the PBS-TV special? I wouldn't presume to "rate" Cyrus Chestnut. It would be inadequately respectful. His was the best thing in the entire two hours, diminishing even Dave Brubeck and Billy Joel in their company. I got onto the net right away and ordered the CD the same night. Honestly! rate Cyrus Chestnut?
Great Cuts - Cyrus All The Way.......2000-03-25
I came upon Cyrus Chestnut several years ago at a listening station at a record store - Haven't turned back since. Cyrus has what it takes to be a truely great jazz pianist. I have been collecting his cd's since that time. I particularly enjoy Sentimentalia, Baroque Impressions, Call Me Later, and the title track. I glad I was turned on to this great artist. You will feel that way too once you experience his artistry.

Alfred Newman's Final Epic Bow.......2004-10-12
Varese Sarabande has again done credit to the genre of great film scores with their recent release of the expanded (if not full) Alfred Newman score for George Stevens' production of "The Greatest Story Ever Told" (Newman and Stevens had also worked together on "Gunga Din," one of Newman's best efforts). The film title missed the mark a bit as far as the film is concerned. This is probably not the greatest of the Bible epics, but it is an interesting entry nevertheless. For those of us who live in the area of Lake Powell and southern Utah it is a trip to view this film with its very familiar Red Rock backdrops filling in for Palestine. And the acting was in many cases first rate. Newman's score was also an enormous plus. Perhaps not one of his best, it was certainly a great score. Based largely on a major theme that is clearly reminiscent of his earlier score for "The Robe," this is a major triumph, as is this three disc presentation. Nicely packaged and produced at an unbelievable price, this is a must for film score buffs. Disc one contains the original soundtrack recording (with updated sound)including Handel's chorus from "The Messiah" which Stevens' insisted upon using instead of Newman's own ending. Curiously, Newman's choral "Exit Music" would have been a much better fit for the film and is included here. Discs two and three include the majority of Newman's original score, as he intended it. It is really majestic stuff, although much of the score took a sombre tone. I cannot wait to enjoy this score driving down the Burr Trail. It is music that mataches the grand landscape, and the greatest story ever told.
Soundtrack, entire film score and composer ~ Alfred Newman.......2004-10-10
Varese Records presents Alfred Newman's score for "The Greatest Story Ever Told" (1965/196 mins), George Stevens directs an epic that shares the story and life of Jesus Christ ~ featuring Max Von Sydow [Jesus], Dorothy McGuire [Mary], Claude Rains [Herod the Great], Charlton Heston [John the Baptist], Angela Lansbury [Claudia], Donald Pleasence [Satan, the Dark Hermit], David McCallum [Judas Iscariot], Sidney Poitier [Simon of Cyrene], Telly Savalas [Pontius Pilate], Martin Landau [Caiaphas], Robert Blake [Simon the Zealot], Jamie Farr [Thaddaeus], Roddy McDowell [Matthew], Jose Ferrer [Herod Antipas] and John Wayne [Centurion] and many more with memorable performances ~ yet at the time of release, received low praises for the director and cast.
The music, yes the music is where this film shines...Alfred Newman, one of the most respected composers of his time was given the assignment ~ it was Newman who gave us the "20th Century Fox" fanfare theme...also a number of other film scores "Anastasia", "Diary of Anne Frank", "Captain from Castile", "Gunga Din", "How The West Was Won", "How to Marry A Millionaire", "The Keys of the Kingdom", "Man of Galilee", "Mark of Zorro", "Nevada Smith", "The Razor's Edge", "The Robe", "The Song of Bernadette" and "Wuthering Heights" ~ all of them were winners.
The Greatest Story Ever Told is here complete for the very first time and has everything from "Original Soundtrack Album" and then the "Entire Film Score" on the last two discs...making this a three disc "film-score-buffs" dream come true ~ completely remastered, with liner notes that will tell all the inside scoop from author, screenwriters, director and composer...just the way we like 'em!

The Greatest Music CD there Ever Was.......2006-05-10
I am a boy who dislikes Romantic Music. I love video game music. But this CD whisked my heart away, and now that I have lost my copy, I have longed deeply for the days--just two years ago--that I listened to this CD endlessly. A beautiful alignment in music will capture you in a trance like now other--from the haunting tones of the Intermezzo, to the forceful Monteques & Capulets. I'm not so keen on what comes after Monteques & Capulets, but nonetheless, this is a CD to end all CDs. I recommend it to anybody who simply likes to listen to music without words! Just listen to it while doing something else; maybe with headphones. Enjoy, relax, and feel the songs travelling through you.

Sanders in an excellent religious mood.......1999-02-16
This is a Sanders'cd I would recommend to all those who have heard of Sanders as a wild musician,shrieking through the saxophone. Here,he is in a very mellow, ,not to say soft ,mood.Religiosity or more accurately,spirituality permeates all the numbers on this cd.He reminds us of an evening service in a protestant church. Even those who are not fanatic jazz fans but like music with rythm should enjoy this cd which is definitely,one of the best this African-American Griot has produced.
