Ketelbey must have influenced the great film soundtrack composers .......2006-09-02

I can see how this music might have been used as accompaniment to a showing of the silent film "Thief of Baghdad", or "The Sheik", or any one of those swashbucklers. Not that the exotic was all that Ketelbey indulged in, as this CD will reveal. I recommend it highly. And for those interested in historical recordings, try the 1921 Peerless Orchestra recording of "Monastery Garden", which is part of the Library of Congress archive and which is available to listen to or to download for free as a .wav file at [...]. This is the website for Birmingham, England, the composer's birthplace.

This music helped me to be totally relaxe and completely entertained.
Of particular interest for me was "Wedgewood Blue" and "Meditation", both performed beautifully.
I highly recommend this imported German CD and add that, due to the rarity of some of the tracks, it is a good idea to not delay.

Album Description

Perhaps Australia's top star of stage musicals, particularly renown for his role as the famous Phantom of The Opera, Anthony Warlow delivers an excellent compilation representing the first stage of his career, with tracks such as 'Music Of The Night', 'I've Got A Crush On You', 'Soliloquy' & 'Lily's Eyes'. Polydor Australia.

Act One Review.......2006-07-03

The power and range of Anthony Warlow's voice is incredable. The song selections were nice as well, and incouraged me to find more of his CD's.

Magnificent Voice Marred By Inferior Sound Quality.......2006-03-12

Polydor collections often contain great selections, but the sound quality is frequently less than stellar; this is this case here. A huge fan of Warlow, I am disappointed with the inconsistent sound quality of this disc. "Hiss" is audible between songs and sometimes during. Sound levels are soft on some pieces and then increase noticably on following numbers. With all the technology available to temper problems, it's a shame that Polydor did not give this magnificent voice the star treatment it deserves.

Best Of The Best!.......2006-01-08

Wow This CD Got Me Hooked! I just had to buy every one of his CDs after this. Experience here, the Best songs of the BEST SINGER! Australia's #1 singer, Anthony Warlow is known internationally for his role as Enjolras in Les Miserables from the 'Complete Symphonic Recording" and for recording the Complete Work of Wildhorn's "Jekyll and Hyde" in the lead roles. He has released a number of solo recordings as well as cast recordings.
Anthony Warlow is, by far, my very favourite singer in the world! His voice just doesn't compare to anyone else. Classically trained, his voice has been described as a baritone with a high top. From his deep baritone, to the smooth crooning notes of a big band hit, to the modern day "pops and squeals" of rock/pop music, to the effortless soaring pure endless notes that are Anthony Warlow's trademark--he's got it all.

This is the first (and only) "best of" recording that Anthony has released. It is an ideal introduction to the man, his work and his other recordings

Leroy Anderson's most famous piece is The Syncopated Clock, which became a well-known television tune in the 1950s. Anderson, a native of New Haven, Connecticut, was one of those composers who new his limitations exactly, and never wrote beyond them. He was a master at orchestral miniatures: short, tuneful pieces of musical fluff--but very high-quality fluff. Anderson lavished as much attention on one of his miniatures as Wagner did on his monster operas. They are the musical equivalent of Fabergé eggs. Slatkin treats these little gems with the loving attention they deserve, and you'll be amazed by how many of the tunes jog your memory. A delight. --David Hurwitz

Customer Reviews:

American Light Music.......2005-10-07

Leroy Anderson's music is best equated with the visual works of Norman Rockwell. Anderson, like Rockwell, paints mini-portraits, slices of life, into his musical creations, and with great success.

With this CD, is a compendium of 25 of Leroy Anderson's vast output and each of them, suprisingly, is a gem in and of itself. Anderson is a master of melody, creating the whimsical and the heartfelt. I was amazed to find that a short horn melody in "Horse and Buggy" could move me emotionally and so easily. One concern at purchasing this CD, was that his music might become trite and tired, especially with repeated listening; but Anderson is inventive in melody and he always mixes his songs up with unexpected syncopations and jazzy interpolations, not to mention the unusual battery of percussion needed to visualize the various animals, horse rides, and other crazy situations Anderson puts his orchestra in.

Leonard Slatkin and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra perform all of this music with the right gusto needed to portray Anderson's version of Americana. The only thing missing, perhaps, is the unbridled energy these works create in a live environment. While "Bugler's Holiday" and "Clarinet Candy" are played with great alacrity, the spark of the moment is lost on a recording format. Notwithstanding, this CD is an excellent choice if you can't get the live experience, excelling in musical quality, and quite frankly, is a lot of fun. Compare and contrast this CD with other Leroy Anderson collections under Arthur Fiedler, Leroy Anderson himself, as well as a Naxos release, and you will find this CD can hold its own rather easily.

Fine but lacks the last ounce of vitality.......2005-05-10

This is a fine Leroy Anderson disc. No one happening upon this disc will likely be seriously disappointed. But wait! Try the recording conducted by the composer himself or the one by Arthur Fieldler before you have any last word. They both have so much verve and vitality that the music literally leaps out of the speakers. The difference hits home immediately after such numbers as Fiddle Faddle or Bugler's Holiday begin. Coming back to Slatkin, you will probably feel that his interepretaton is a bit on a sedate side. However, Slatkin brings wonderful warmth to slower numbers and has the advantage of modern digital recording. The choice is yours.

A Gem Of American Music.......2004-07-11

Leroy Anderson is certainly one of the memorable and popular of American light music composer and this CD of his music really shines with the strains of the St Louis Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Leonard Slatkin. Simply magical. Mr Slatkin plays the music as close as Leroy Anderson intended to and not distorted any arrangements of the music. The album opens with the opulent 'Belle Of The Ball' and it waltzes ever so beautifully in digital stereo and sweeps you to an imaginary ballroom and completely swoons you. The ever popular seasonal piece 'Sleigh Ride' is stil a delight with the young at heart. The other titles in this superb CD are the immortal 'Blue Tango', the serene 'Serenata', the dreamy 'Forgotten Dreams' and the title track of the CD, the playful 'The Typewriter'. Though this album can't compare to the original Leroy Anderson albums and the evergreen Boston Pops with Arthur Fieldler, it is a fitting tribute to a gem in music that is Leroy Anderson.

A Great Recording of a Lovable American Composer's Music.......2004-04-08

I've always loved the music of Leroy Anderson. It has a magical quality that tends to pull a person right into the piece. For example, who, when listening to "Sleigh Ride," does not imagine going on a ride through the snow in Vermont on a winter's day? Titles such as the" Waltzing Cat," "The Syncopated Clock" and "Belle of the Ball" all sound as their titles imply. While the music could be termed `light classical," musicians playing the pieces have to be versatile as the solo parts for works such as "Bugler's Holiday" and "Clarinet Candy" easily demonstrate.

I will have to admit, when it comes to Anderson's music, usually no one beats the Boston Pops, especially under the direction of Arthur Fiedler. For many years Anderson was a collaborator of Fielder's and many of the Pops best known arrangements are those of Anderson. Perhaps this is why the Boston Pops performances of Anderson's music have an authentic feel to them. Yet if there is a close second to The Boston Pops' performances, it would be this collection by Leonard Slatkin and the St. Louis Symphony. Slatkin has a love and appreciation for the music and lead the orchestra in a competent and enjoyable manner.

This collection includes many of Anderson's favorites such as "Blue Tango," "Phantom Regiment," "Trumpeter's Lullaby," and "Fiddle Faddle" as well as many of Anderson's lesser known works. Which make the collection a real treat.

A whimsical pick-me-up.......2002-09-02

The collaboration between conductor Arthur Fiedler and composer Leroy Anderson gave birth to the unique sound of the Boston Pops Orchestra. Anderson was without peer in writing works for "light" orchestra: short, often whimsical, always pleasant pieces for symphonic ensembles. One of Anderson's trademarks was coming up with creative ways for the orchestra to portray common sounds from the outside world. Anderson's two best-known pieces employ this technique: a trumpet simulates a horse's whinny at the end of "Sleigh Ride," while woodblocks indicate the rhythmic imbalance of "The Syncopated Clock." Although Anderson never became a household name, many Americans are probably familiar with several of his other works, including "The Typewriter" and "Blue Tango."

This CD features Leonard Slatkin and the St. Louis Symphony, but there is another great CD of Anderson's works by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops. While both recordings are great, I give the edge to this CD. While Fiedler naturally has a better feel for Anderson's music (most notably on the "Sandpaper Ballet" and "Jazz Pizzicato"), Slatkin has recorded nine pieces not found on the Fiedler CD, including the delightful "Phantom Regiment," "First Day of Spring," "Forgotten Dreams," "Horse and Buggy," and my personal favorite, "Saraband."

This recording is a pleasure from beginning to end. I often find myself playing this CD two or three times in a row (and sometimes pressing "shuffle" after that) because Anderson's relentlessly happy music makes me feel that everything is right with the world.

A Lot of the Essentials.......2004-10-12

So many compilations of Elvis' hits suffer from a lack of chronology. A 1950s hit will sound so much different from, say, "Moody Blue". But there are enough hits on this CD to make it a good investment. There are fewer of the songs other artists made popular which Elvis covered in his recording career after his 1968 "comeback" TV concert. (Was he trying to claim them as his own?) There is some sense of continuity with the real ELVIS hits and it makes for good listening. Enjoy.

50 hits is enough to start you off in the right direction........2002-11-04

This relaese, originally released in 1985 to commemorate 50 years after the birth of Elvis Presley, went double platinum a short while ago. Each song on this fantastic release is quite a gem. It gives a little variety of Elvis' musical talent. The rocker, "Hound Dog", the romantic, "Love Me Tender", from the heart, "If I Can Dream", the love songs "Can't Help Falling In Love", the movies, "Blue Hawaii", and so much more! I was excited to get this years ago. Excellent song choices with very poor packaging. On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the best): Packaging = 2, Sound Quality = 4. It might be a little poor in those areas, but a must-have to start your Elvis collection.

50 original versions crammed onto 2 CDs........2002-11-02

This collection is just what it appears to be: Elvis' top hits in their original versions crammed onto two CDs. I bought this collection because it had the largest number of Elvis songs I wanted in a single package, without having to buy an expensive box set. I don't know enough to comment on the mixing, but it sounded fine to me; the older songs sound like mono. One unique thing I'd never heard before was the pair of aborted takes left in the intro of "Such A Night," where Elvis miscounted the number of intro riffs. Two songs that really stood out as timeless, quality songs were the newer, longer pieces with strings: "Kentucky Rain" (1970) and "Suspicious Minds" (1969). The songs here aren't in chronological order or any other logical order that I can detect, which is a minor annoyance since these songs cover such a wide span of years and sound.

Lean, mean rockin' machine.......2005-01-27

I admit I was a bit metal fan back in the early '90s, some thrash and some glam metal. In between the thrash and glam metal were five women who were known as Phantom Blue. Their first album was one of the best speed metal albums I had ever heard. Phantom Blue made the women in Vixen look like Destiny's Child (although I dug Vixen a lot). When Phantom Blue got a major record label deal with Geffen Records, I have to admit I was originally disappointed by the band's more polished sound on "Built to Perform". Over time the music slowly grew on me like a fungus on a dead log. Despite their looks, the women in Phantom Blue proved that they had the chops. Gigi Hangach has a voice that would make a lot of women in music today wish that they had her vocal chords.

"Built to Perform" kicks off with the excellent "Nothing Good". It really set the tone of the album for the listener. "Time to Ruin" really solidifies the album for me with its searing guitar licks provided by Michelle Meldrum and Karen Kreutzer. You knew right then and there what to expect from Gigi, Michelle, Kim, Linda, and Karen. One of my favorite songs is the ballad "My Misery" with its hooky chorus. I also love the infectious chorus to "Little Man" which sounds amazing at top volume. All the songs on this album is great. It is shame that this album came out at a time when Nirvana and the whole 'grunge' movement had exploded. Max Norman does a great job of producing and mixing the album. I especially like the way he allowed the guitars come to the forefront. "Built to Perform" was and is still a great metal album. Ten years later it still holds up well...or at least to me.

It's only Rock'N'Roll!.......2004-07-31

built to Perform is just one of the better metal album of the 90's...
And Phantom Blue one of the better R'N'R band of the world...

Long Time Comin'.......2004-07-14

After reading the other reviews already posted, I'm sorry to hear that there were so many changes in the band, but am glad to hear Linda's still at it. I knew this ladies when, and I believe this is one of the best all female metal bands in the world! When I lived in LA, I would go with them to their gigs at The Roxy and The Whiskey. Some of my fave songs are "Loved Ya To Pieces", "My Misery", "You're Free" and "Anti Love Crunch" simply because Linda's rocking on the drums. I really love the entire album and recommend it to anyone who's a fan of metal! Keep Rockin' Girls! - Dori

The ''Phantoms '' prove their point.......2004-05-03

I was around this band during rehersals , pre-production , and the creative processes that were the early inspiration for what we know now as '' Built to Perform '' After many internal problems within' the band structure (most notably the departure of band co-founder\guitarist \songwriter , Nicole Couch ) Phantom Blue came out with a scorcher major label debut . The main problem with this CD is it came out too late . With grundge being the flavor of the month , ''Built to Perform '' was lost among the Nirvana's and Soundgarden's of the day . If this CD would have been out earlier , I feel Phantom Blue would have made a bigger impact on the music world . The guitar work by co-founder , Michelle Meldrum , is phenominal with a guest appearnace from then Megadeth guitarist , Marty Friedman .Drummer Linda McDonald is rock solid and one of the best drummers you will ever hear , bar none . Vocalist , Gigi Hangjak , has vocal power beyond beleif . She has come along way from the first time I heard her practice with the band in their practice studio in Vernon, California back in 1988. I would have liked to have seen Phantom Blue get more promotion and land a major U.S. tour opening for someone like Van Halen or Bon Jovi . This would have made more people aware of the bands existance . It's just a damned shame that the timing was off . Phantom Blue is still together to a certain degree with drummer Linda McDonald being the only original member left ( YOU GO GIRL !! )
I would like to see this band re-group with the original members and pick up where '' Built to Perform'' left off .

Best female metal band ever!.......2004-04-14

I'll make this short and sweet. This is one of the best metal cd's you will ever hear in your life, period, male or female. There is not one filler track on this album. From start to finish this album rocks with the best metal bands of all time, no kidding. All tracks are strong, but the best songs are probably A Little Evil, Love Ya' To Pieces, Better off Dead, and My Misery, but this is just a matter of opinion. What's not a matter of opinion is that if you like good old traditional heavy metal in the same vein as Skid Row, Saxon,Armored Saint,etc., then these ladies will blow your ass away, no doubt about it.

Blue - Da Ba Dee: Four Mixes.......2005-12-27

Blue - Da Ba Dee: Four Mixes~ Deep Inside Alex Jorden is an amazing trance track with great sounds, beats and I love the nonesensical lyrics. This is a song that should be obligatory for parties and clubs since it makes you feel like dancing and I am like moving in my seat even as I listen to it right now. This is a classic dance track for the ages.

Great!!.......2004-04-02

I was up in Massachusetts (...) and I just heard it on the radio, didnt know who made it or what it was called. Luckily, one of my friends (...)knew what it was. So, I bought Europop just for Blue, but then I loved the whole album! I'm listenin to it now!!

I mean, come on, what's not to love?.......2002-07-07

My 6 year old son was addicted to this song. It is cute and harmless...something not so easy to come by.

Love it man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-04-04

I didn even know this single existed till my brother got it for my b'day, and I was pleased to find out it did!!! I absolutely LOVE this song 2 death & 2 da point where my parents can't no more (cause I play it at dinner... in the car... you get the idea) and I had to keep hiding it from my friend when she came over cause she would have stolen it otherwise! Often with singles it's the same ol' stuff but not w/ this one I can actually listen all the way thru witout boredom.

All I have to say is "Those Italians know how to song!".......2000-10-05

This is a great single, but you can get you r moneys worth with the Blue single from Hong Kong, or the Asian Single. But this was my frist Imported Single I brought, & I love it to death.I even brought the 2nd CD or part of the Single. Ciao

P.s. Italians know how to sing!!!!! Ciao a Tutti! Bye to All!
