One of the most often performed of Strauss’s musical works, this landmark of modern opera scandalized early 20th-century audiences with its startling dissonance and unconventional harmonics. Today, it is admired for virtuosic invention of musical ideas and the use of instrumental sonorities to characterize both persons and actions.

These days it's difficult to understand how big the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem were in the early 1960s. But the fact that a young Bob Dylan once claimed he was going to be more famous than they were--and then borrowed the melody from their song "The Patriot Game" for his own "With God on our Side"--hints at the level of influence they had. The tracks on The Best of the Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem were made between 1962 and 1969, and include a well-chosen selection of drinking songs, rebel ballads, and comic turns, most of which were recorded live in various concerts. The quartet belts out these songs with a good-natured gusto that owes more to the Weavers than it does to traditional Irish performance technique, but their renditions of classics like "The Rising of the Moon" and "A Nation Once Again" are still stirring. The group underwent many personnel changes in the years after these recordings were made, but the combination of Tommy Makem and Tom, Liam, and Paddy Clancy was never bettered. --Michael Simmons

Customer Reviews:

Very enjoyable music.......2007-02-23

The Clancy Brothers are classics for Irish music. Very good collection.

Well said!.......2005-07-15

"When The Clancy Brothers' albums were being released on CD, several of the above albums were never transferred to that format. Multiple "greatest hits" and other such collections currently make up the majority of their CD catalog, often with high redundancy." [...]
Well said!

Cover's same...songs are different.......2003-01-09

I found the sound quality on this to be excellant, but the contents don't match the above listing at all. "Rising Of The Moon" is on the CD I have, but it also has "The Irish Rover", "Whiskey Is The Life Of The Man" and many others not listed above. So contrary to many of the other reviews, I think this is a great CD & heartily recommend it.

The Very very Best.......2003-01-02

I have just purchased from Amazon.co.uk a Columbia/Legacy CD No.CK86022 'The Best of The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem'.The front sleeve is axactly the same as the above CD But the content is completely different. A lot of the songs are different. The sound quality is very good (I could well be back in the early 1960's listening to my original LPs) The Amazon.co.uk asin no is B000063RN6. My 5 star rating is for this CD and not the one above.
I hope this helps.

Alas, Out goes the baby with the bathwater.......2002-04-04

In August of 1995, I saw a very detatched Liam Clancy, leaning on a railing in Milwaukee. I mentioned the recent "Ain't It Grand" release, and Mr. Clancy became extremely animated and proclaimed that, "They were suing Columbia/Legacy over that release."

A year later, brother Paddy said that they had dropped the litigation, since all Columbia's recordings that they made, were, in essence Columbia's property. End of story.

Oddly enough, Columbia/Legacy circled the wagons and left them circled after that little tiff. I am sure that the logistics of defending one's self against a suit are extremely resource heavy. But, two consecutive rehashes of the first five C/L releases tries my patience in extremis!

I recently acquired a new pc with virtually unlimited hard drive, and have succeeded in doing what I had hoped C/L would do. I have transcribed to hard disc, every Clancy/Makem recording from "Spontanious Performance" to "Flowers Of The Valley", including a rather neat re editing of the two record "Easter Rebellion" album. Does this mean that I will never again purchase a Columbia/Legacy release of "Clancy/Makem Treasures"? NO!

I am secretly hoping for a massive compilation, similar to the Simon & Garfunkel re issue. That would be, all the basic Columbia albums from 1961 to 1970, with little recordings like "Young Cassidy" and "Brennan On The Moor" and "The Bonny Earl Of Moray" included. If you are contemplating such an undertaking, please, communicate with us who hunger. Don't cling to re releasing the same nucleus of songs, time and time again. Take any one of five "live" albums and re issue them the way you did Pete Seeger. We'd die for a taste of that! You are sitting on a treasure trove of music. Please, share it with those who truly appreciate it!

Thank you.

Customer Reviews:

The motherlode.......2004-07-08

Billy Connolly describes his first time ever seeing the Dubliners in concert as a classic case of culture shock! Folk Musicians back then were inclined to wear Aran sweaters so they could be easily identified..not the Dubliners! "Wild bearded goats" with one of their lead singers voice sounding like coal being poured down a delivery chute! The Dubliners did to Folk Music in Ireland what Bob Dylan did in the USA. They were raw, vulgar, unpretentious, talented, funny and, the inspiration for legions of future Irish musicians. The tracks listed on this collection are essentially the best of their original line up. My only slight criticism is that I wish they had kept the track order of the first three albums intact. As musicians, Luke Kelly, Barney MacKenna and Ciarron Bourke were of the highest calibre. This music swerves from incendary to sad and back again. This is what the Pogues sounded like in another life!

It's hard to qualify what "best of" could mean in the case of a band as prolific as Altan. This was a record label collection (the best of the Green Linnet years) and it is just that from Frankie Kennedy's slow reel, "The Sunset," through the jigs, reels and airs that they play so well. Mairead Ni Mhaoinaigh on fiddle also supplies their trademark voice, Ciaran Tourish and Paul O'Shaughnessy are on fiddles as well, Frankie Kennedy is on flute plus various instruments by Ciaran Curran, Mark Kelly and Daithi Sproule. As a bonus there is a second CD, a live recording taken from the soundboard of a 1989 concert. --Louis Gibson

Customer Reviews:

4 stars as a single disc, 5 stars with live CD.......2003-02-05

As retrospectives go, this is a good one, and captures the pace that Altan brings to a regular release. The entire history is represented here, at least as it was distributed by Green Linnet. The early trio date with Frankie, Mairead and Ciaran Curran through the final formation as sextet before Frankie's passing with the additions of Ciaran Tourish, Daithi Sproule and Dermot Byrne are well represented. The weaker points come from "Horse With a Heart" which has something missing in Phil Cunningham's production, though I am hard pressed to say what it is that's missing.
Perhaps the element of personnel flux is at its most vulnerable during these early days, as Paul Shaunnesy and Mark Kelly were sometimes on and sometimes off because of their day jobs. It really wasn't until "The Red Crow" that Frankie and Mairead made the decision to leap forward with this band as their career, and it is with that release that Altan really catches fire.
The shadows of Johnny Dougherty, Con Campbell, James Byrne and Robert Cinnamond loom large in the soul of this band, and in no uncertain terms they took the Donegal-Ulster tradition of Irish music and carried it from the back bothrins of Gaoth Dobhair to front and center in the Irish Cultural Renaissance of the 80's and 90's.
But, the real gem here is the limited edition version that carried a live CD with it. Having promoted them live in Philadelphia 4 times, once at my own establishment that is wonderfully recorded on tape as well as shows at Bluett Theatre, whose video capture by Drexel University is just breathtaking, I can tell you that Altan is a Very Different Beast LIVE. No quarter is asked or given. It's all hell for leather and the sheer dynamics of this band wrung you out emotionally, left you dancing ecstatically like some Celtic Dervish or Gaelic Pentacostalist. Their passion live has surely been responsible in part for the Irish American baby boom of the last decade! Green Linnet presents a great, great snippet of their live material, which underscores the whole issue that somewhere, someone, everyone should be hammering IMN, their management company, to get a live box set out, live DVD out, especially of the years helmed by Frankie. The Cabin John appearances in the early days of the DC Irish Folk Festival, following Ashley Mac Isaac, were perfomances of legend. Not to be outdone by the peripatetic Mac Isaac, Frankie and Mairead rose to the challenge and left a crowd of dazed enthusiasts in sheer joyful abandon. Roll the tapes forward and appearances at The National Geographic Society, Wolf Trap, following The Rankins and Natalie Mac Master, are all very possibly the greate
