Returning Home

Rick McDaniel, Heart of the Cedar, CD Review of the Week, July 13, 2005
I find the music refreshingly different, engaging, and the style of play simply mesmerizing.

Product Description
On his CD Returing Home, Cornell Kinderknecht performs on flutes from many cultures. He presents Native American flute, Bansuri flute from India, bamboo flute, recorder, and ocarina in beautiful and breathtaking musical settings. The flute is sometimes used as lone solo voice or accompanied by keyboard and percussion. The music on this CD explores the joys, expectations, and hopes when travelling to a place that you've known forever but is somehow different than what you remember. The musical style ranges from introspective to exotic to all out fun.

Excellent album from one of the very best.......2004-08-16

Firstly, a couple of moans about the packaging. I cannot see the
point of the slip cover. It contains nothing that is not on the
inserts. The CD will not fit into my storage racks with it on and so
it has been taken off and stored in a draw with others.

The slipcase and the inserts also contain at least one piece of
misinformation. According to Decca, Barry wrote 10 Bond scores when
in fact it is 11.A small point but it's as easy to get it right as
wrong.

Some have said, it would be fair to call this Beyondenss 2. The
idea of Barry using moments from his own life as inspiration is
continuued here together with a number of tracks which appear to be
directly inspired by John O'Donohue's book 'Eternal Echoes'.

Of the 11 tracks, two didn't work for me at first but grow on you with repeated listens.
These are 'Get Over It' and 'First Steps'. Somehow these tracks seem to lack the strong melody lines and emotional inspiration of the rest of the album.

The opening track 'Eternal Echoes' reminds me a little of 'Dances
with Wolves', with the synthesised choir and particularly the scene
where the Buffalo carcasses are seen spread over a plain ( can't
remember the name of the track). That for me is good, as IMO Dances
is one of Barry's finest and anything in that style will always play
well with me.

'Returning Home' is a wonderful track with a beautiful sax melody
laid over a glorious string backing. Would have made a good vocal had
appropriate lyrics been added. Was this inspired by Barry returning
home to Oyster Bay or does it come from earlier, perhaps returning to
his parents home in York after being away with JB7?

Crazy Dog, clearly inspired by his dog back at Oyster Bay and seen in
the Omnibus Documentary. A pleasing string melody reminds me a little
of 'Elsa at play' though taken at a slower pace. Wasn't too keen on
this intially but it grows big time!.

'Slow Day' is another wonderful track with Tommy Morgan's marvellous
playing of a strong Barry melody agin supported by a bed of strings
which is punctuated with a goldfingerish brass interlude.

On the Omnibus documentary this was seen being performed with a flute
solo by an attractive female member of the English Chamber Orchestra.
I really liked that version as well and it's a pity that we couldn't
have had 'Slow Day' parts 1 and 2' particularly as the vocal tracks
were abandoned.

'Fred and Cyd' is the track that many people seem to be raving about
and saying that Barry can break out of 'romantic mode'. It is a great
track. A lovely sax melody, which has the sharpeness and clarity of
early tracks such as 'Cutty Sark' is interspersed with another
stunningly good 'Goldfingerish' brass interlude. Is this inspired by
Fred Astaire and Cyd Charise who Barry must often have seen at the
Rialto in York.

Blessed Illusion would appear to be directly inspired by John
O'Donohue's book. Again, Barry presents a strong melody, initially
performed by solo trumpet and then taken up by strings though still
punctuated by brass figures. A more meditative track that gets better
with repeated listening.

'Lullabying', apparently inspired by the time soon after the birth
of Barry's son 'Jon Patrick' in the the mid 90s. I love this track.
The joy and love that Barry feels for his his son is expressed so
clearly and wonderfully by yet another knockout melody performrd by
flute and strings (I think). It's really very moving and possibly my
favourite track on the album. I suspect that one day Jon Patrick will
look back with a lot of pride at this wonderful track that he
inspired his Dad to write. This was used on the Omnibus documentary
for scenes of John and Jon Patrick fishing at Oyster Bay and over the
closing credits.

'Winning', not sure what inspired this one. Was it picking up the
Oscar for Dances after being ill for two years?. Whatever, it's yet
another
..... er.. winner!

Lovely initial string melody dissolves into glorious bridge. (As a
non musician it's difficult using words to describe music so I hope
you bear with me!!.)

'Get Over It', maybe inspired by the loss of his parents or elder
brother, I struggle with this one. It seems to lack the strength of
melody apparent elsewhere on the album. Reminds me of one two of the
later tracks on 'Beyondness'. Flute riff is taken up be strings.
Certainly not unpleasant and it may grow on me.

'First Steps' another track which doesn't seem to have the impact of
many others on this album. Again the melody is apparently not as
strong as several others. Really can't seem to get into this one.
Will stick with it, it may grow!

'Elegy' another track apprently inspired directly by the themes in
John O'Donohue's book.At 5.37, the longest track on the album.Used in
the Omnibus documentary when Barry is seen at work at Oyster Bay.
Very reflective and not one for the Hans Zimmer boys but this track
really works for me. So peaceful and beautiful with Barry yet again
producing a wonderful emotional melody.

It's a real pity that none of the vocals made it to the album.
Peronally I would have finished the album on an upbeat note as he did
with 'Beyondenss', possibly with 'Fred and Cyd' or 'Slow Day'. No
matter the album is here and is a great companion piece
to 'Beyondness'

Nine strong tracks out of eleven isn't a bad average. With 'Eternal
Echoes' and 'Enigma' John Barry shows that he is still at the top of
the tree and very much able to 'do the business'.

The bottom line is 'Eternal Echoes' contains long passages of really
lovely music that I will reguarly listen to.
EE is not Bond music but it deserves to be judged on it's own merits
and not against 60s Bond soundtracks.

Well worth buying!.

BARRY ECHOES ETERNALLY.......2003-09-05

John Barry's Eternal Echoes is a marvelous addition to any collection of his numerous soundtrack offerings.

My first exposure to Barry's music came with Out of Africa. It was shortly thereafter that I happened to be watching one of my favorite movies, The Lion in Winter and discovered that the soundtrack was composed by none other than John Barry.

Since then I have added a wide variety of Barry's music to my collection and find that Eternal Echoes is just what the title implies: brilliant echoing music of the sort that any John Barry fan would love.

Dispensable.......2002-12-20

The music on this CD is well recorded and makes very agreeable listening. There are, however, no outstanding melodies or themes. I would categorize what I heard as "sonic doodling." Quite frankly, I would not encourage anyone to purchase this album. Much superior choices would be John Barry's "Moviola" and "Moviola II."

"open up your heart to Eternal Echoes ~ Barry".......2002-12-15

Much of a film's success can be attributed to its fantastic score by John Barry. Brilliantly straddling the line between the demands of the onscreen action and the subtext, the music not only perfectly matches the film, but at times brings it to a new level. This new album by Mr. Barry ~ "Eternal Echoes", takes the listener to places with sounds that exist everywhere without you knowing it. According to legend the writings of a friend John O'Donahue inspired Barry to compose the selections that appear on this one-of-a-kind album. Like Barry's last album "The Beyondness of Things" (460-009-2), time stands still within a realm of subconscious dreamlike-passages into ones life.

Our legendary composer has crafted a brilliant movement of cues that innate cinematic illusions, thus capturing our thoughts and memories that seem to linger above with joy and sadness. Barry himself arranged and conducted the English Chamber Orchestra with his signature reflective style. The whole pace of this album is sedate with more of a mellow tone that will creep into your very musical soul. A good example of this is "SLOW DAY", featuring a solo by Tommy Morgan on harmonica , as the strumming of the orchestra blends into a counter-balance. The echoes of heavy brass resounding sends a message of triumphant appeal to all fans of this film music storyteller.

Much of Barry's score is variations of themes, sometimes touching on the visuals that only music can express. One such cue is "BLESSED ILLUSION", brass and strings create obsessive musical phrases tending to repeat themselves, very effective. One favorite of mine is "GET OVER IT", the opening chords have so much merit, completely a full bloom of the English Chamber Orchestra under the baton of John Barry is nothing less than spellbinding, the tempo and performance takes your breath away.

Believe this is one of the most important albums in Barry's career. Each cue is to be savored like a fine glass of wine, unforgettable compositions are within this rare gem of musicial genius. This is a must have, a keeper for all the fans of movie music and is a "film-score-buffs' delight, gotta love it.

Total Time: 43:34 on 11 Tracks ~ Decca 289-466-765-2 ~ (2001)

John Barry's current state of mind.......2002-10-09

This album is a continuation of Barry's recent style heard in "The Beyondness of Things". It has that mellow easy listening quality that at first glance sounds repetitious of his recent work. Of his recent compositions, I would recommend "Playing by Heart". The classic Barry sound can also be heard in the recent recordings of "Last Valley" and "Robin and Marian". Finally, "Moviola" still stands out as an excellent compilation of his finest themes.

Expecting More- Getting Less.......2006-03-16

The sound quality is excellent. The choice in music is disappointing. I can name FOUR Horner movie scores or background music that is breath-taking enough that they should have merited inclusion (but alas were not recorded here).

I don't know the dates when these music pieces were released, but it could have been within a couple of years apart. Why? Because this collection has a few tracks that sound VERY SIMILAR. Hence, this CD does NOT fully explore the extent of this great composer's talent.

nice sampler of Horner's work.......2005-08-15

I had most of these tracks on other CDs, but this is a good sampler of Mr. Horners career on a single CD. There are some tracks which are from Original soundtracks in the Varese back catalogue, but most of hte tracks are re-recorded by the Royal Sottish National and Seattle Symphony Orchestras conducted by Cliff Eidelman, Joel McNeeley and John Debney. Also check out Heart of the Ocean (Sonic Images) and Titanic: Essential James Horner Collection (Silva America) for other overviews on Mr. Horner's career.

James Horner as Best Movie Composer.......2000-02-05

To say that James Horner is the most talented soundtrack composer would be an understatement. To my count he has written more than 10 scores. The score for Titanic is as exciting as it is relaxing. This soundtrack is so well made, that I bought the second one! Like the movie, each peice on the soundtrack builds up to the climax. If I had it in front of me, I would be sure to give specific examples, but unfortunetly, I don't. However, I will say that the peice, Rose, which I believe is #4, captures the true meanig of this outstanding movie, and therefore proves how well a composer James Horner has proven to be.

James Horner and John Williams are the best!!.......1999-04-08

At one time I belived the one and only great modern day film composer was John Williams, this album proved me wrong. James Horner, to me is still not as good as John Williams, but dangerously close. Horner in this album has basically summed up sum of his gratest songs ever written. The greatest song in this album is either Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn End Titles, the Courage under Fire Theme, or Apollo 13 (The Launch). Some other honorable mentions include Aliens (Futile Escape), Titanic(Southampton,Rose , Take Her to Sea Mr. Murdoch,and Braveheart's End Credits, and Cocoon: The Return (Returning Home). Mr. Horner has done a fabulous job in expressing emotion almost as good as John Wiliiams. These 13 collabarations dsisplay emotions such as hope, fright, compassion, and courage. This albums only problem's were the fact it left out the music of some other of Horner's best work(Land Before Time, Glory, and An American Tale). The album ignored Horner's "Rock" titles which include Red Heat, Commando, and Gorky Park. This has to be one of the must buy's of the year. Two Very Honest Thumbs Up For James Horner and Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Chorus.

James Horner joins John Williams as the 2 greatest composers.......1999-04-07

I have thought John Williams was the number one film composer, but now I think he has met his match (Williams is still number 1). James Horner can display different emotions in all of his music. From the martial tone of Courage Under Fire (one of my favorites) to the mystical feeling of Casper and Cocoon: The Return. There is heart pounding Futile Chase from Aliens, and of course the heart wrenching melodies of Titanic. Braveheart gives you the tone of Scottish (the bagpipes, you can't miss them) victory. Both Brainstorm and Once Around, to me, give the feeling of hope. How do you forget the feeling of sucess in Apollo 13 or the intergalactic victory in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. This is the perfect album if you want to hear just the great songs. Horner brings out the true emotion in films just the same way that John Williams does. The only change I would make is to add a couple songs from Land Before Time in this album. Those songs would put this album to a 5. Two Thumbs Up!

Returning Home with Marais and Miranda Marais and Miranda Manufacturer: Metaphorce ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD ASIN: B000L4FH6M

Product Description

Josef Marais and Miranda, the enormously popular singing duo, recorded and performed both in the U.S. and internationally from the mid-1940's until the early 1970's. Balladeers with a wide range of songs culled from numerous world folk traditions, they presented their music with unusual artistry. They offered love songs, dramatic stories, children's songs and witty novelties in brilliant vocal arrangements, accompanied by josef's guitar or viol-d'amor. They also used their voices to impersonate animals and machines, or to create other "instruments," and oftengave the impression of more than two singers. This first ever CD of their work includes rare performances from the mid-60's previously available only on limited-release LP's. These privately- made recordings capture both the precise artistry of their studio performances and the witty, personable presentation of a Marais and Miranda concert.
