Wonderful.......2007-07-30

The Complete Works of Amadeus Mozart, what else would you want more?
It's absolutely fantastic, great music in a excellent box!
I really loved it!

a surprising offer.......2007-07-05

Complete works of Mozart for such a price is a surprising offer. We are pleased of the good quality, and the availability of otherwise difficult to find works of Mozart

Welcome to Perfection.......2007-06-28

Dispite what anyone else says, if god ever tried to talk to humanity it was through Wolfgang because his music is absolute perfection.It is the most beautiful music i've ever heard in my life( and this is coming from a 21 year old metal-head ).If one has second thoughts about buying this collection dispell them right now because this is probably the first item i've bought in a long time that i have not regreted.

Buy this as an encyclopedia of Mozart, then add other recordings..........2007-06-22

Brilliant Classics Complete Mozart edition, released for the 250th anniversary year of Mozart's birth (he was born in 1756), has much to recommend it. It contains almost all the works of Mozart, and has many fine performances: the piano sonatas by Klara Wurtz, Piano Concertos by Derek Han, Paul Freeman/Philharmonia, The Magic Flute, conducted by Charles Mackerras (licensed from Telarc), String Quartets by the Franz Schubert Quartet (Licensed from Nimbus) each stand out. The Symphonies, by the Amsterdam Mozart Academy/ Jaap ter Linden, are "So-so": I don't like the small period ensemble, but Symphonies 20, 40 (both versions: one with clarinets and the other without), 23, 24, and 34 are pretty good. Symphonies 1:I, 25 and 41 are sub-par: scrappy playing and weak violins make for a pretty rough experience. I would supplement this with the complete Mozart Symphonies by Karl Bohm/Berlin Philharmonic (DG), among the best recordings of these works, and the best complete set of Mozart's Symphonies, completed in 1968.

The Requiem, conducted by Nicol Matt (2001 recording) has had better performances, and for this I would recommend Bohm/Vienna Philharmonic (DG) and Colin Davis/London Symphony (Philips), which use a larger choir and orchestra, and have more drama where it is needed. The other choral works conducted by Nicol Matt are better, especially "Exsultate Jubilate" motet, the short Masses, and "Ave Verum".

Also worthy of mention are the "Posthorn" and "Haffner" Serenades, by Colin Davis/Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, licensed from Novalis for this release.

This is a great overview, and Brilliant Classics are to be commended for making it available at a low price, to get Mozart's music out to the mass public. It's a great buy, but I would get the Bohm Symphonies, and also Piano Concertos by either Ashkenazy/Philharmonia (Decca), Perahia/English Chamber Orchestra (Sony) or Anda/Mozarteum Orchestra of Salzburg (DG) for supplements. Also, Karl Bohm's recordings of the operas: The Magic Flute, the Marriage of Figaro, Idomeneo, and La Clemenza di Tito (all DG) are required listening, too. Recommended, but not as the only recording of Mozart's works.

Great value..Cant beat this deal at all!!!.......2007-06-13

As others have reviewed the product and highlighted that there are a few poor pieces... But who cares when there is 170 discs.. if you had have 10 cds that are poor quality and had a 160 disc set of good cd's and you paid $90 for the set.. would you be happy? I would think so... So don't get frustrated and just buy the set.. Enjoy the music for the price.. I am not going to go into details like others did but just buy the set!

Sometimes leading ladies known strictly for their acting sing so memorably in a film you're compelled to buy the soundtrack just to hear them again (think Drew Barrymore in Lucky You, Gwyneth Paltrow in Duets, and Michelle Pfeiffer in The Fabulous Baker Boys). To be sure, that will happen with Evening: Claire Danes performs the standard "Time After Time" with enough tenderness in the film to make the soft-hearted rush out and scoop up her rendition on CD. Trouble is, they won't find one--Danes' version doesn't appear on the soundtrack. But if you think that makes this soundtrack overlookable, guess again. No one with a romantic streak can resist Ella Fitzgerald's masterful recording of "Time After Time," and no one with a sense for what gives a score grandeur and sophistication will want to miss Jan A.P. Kaczmarek's beautiful handiwork. Best of all, though, is a long-forgotten gem near disc's end--Anita O'Day's dreamy "Stella by Starlight" is music to swoon by. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

Consisting of the moving score by Jan A.P. Kaczmarek (Finding Neverland) and classic recordings of jazz standards, including "Time After Time", "I've Got the World on A String" and "Perdido", this soundtrack adds the perfect touch to a passionate and timeless movie.

Customer Reviews:

Redgrave Rules.......2007-07-26

V.Redgrave, as the dying Ann lord, adds substance and depth to a very beautiful, romantic memory. Clare Danes, as the young Ann Lord, inspired me to read the book, which fleshed out the movie with many more details and differences in characters and events than could be shown on the screen. The sound track so perfectly complemented the movie that it is one and the same:
hauntingly beautiful.

Missing 'secret' tune.......2007-07-23

The trailer for this movie features the same music that features in 'The Secret'. Anyone know what it's called and whether or not if it's actually on this album? Listening to the samples I couldn't find it.

Beautiful.......2007-07-13

the score is the reason I bought this soundtrack. If the film is going to get Oscar nominations, it's for Redgrave, cinematography and this beautiful score. To thos ewho rated quite unfairly because Claire Danes wasn't singing, get over it. Yeah I would have liked it, but that's no reason to diss the soundtrack. And to the moron who didn't find White Flag, are you serious? Pride and Prejudice featured "Collide" in their preview yet it wasn't in the film. People put these songs out there to attract viewers. Now there are the times the song will appear, but when your looking at a period piece, don't be expecting a pop song to be popping up.

Claire singing.........2007-07-12

I too am searching for a version of the song where Claire is singing. If anyone finds, it please post. Thanks

Bound to disappoint.......2007-07-10

"Evening's" official soundtrack is bound to disappoint on two levels:

First, Claire Danes' version of "Time After Time" (yes, that's really her singing) is nowhere to be found.

Second, the misleading trailer uses Dido's "White Flag" ('I will go down with this ship; And I won't put my hands up and surrender; There will be no white flag above my door; I'm in love and always will be')...I kept waiting for it to appear in the movie. Never happens. Even the most ardent fan of the movie (not many as it promises to disappear quickly after its $3.5M thud opening on 977 screens) will agree it gives the trailer a feel completely unconnected to what unfurls in the movie.

miami vice.......2007-02-21

i have wanted to get this for awhile now..so i figured i ordered something for my husband i may as well order this one for me..
there is nothing like the original miami vice.....love it...

Miami Vice still as nice.......2007-01-26

When you listen to this CD, it brings back the actual feeling of the 80's, as well as the program itself. The songs are relevant even in today's world. The instrumentals by Jan Hammer are truly masterpieces!

Standing the test of time.......2006-09-13

I first got this on LP and listened to it often. I later got it on CD because it is a classic soundtrack and an essential piece for an 80's music collection.

Almost half the tracks on here are instrumental, but all of them are great. Most people probably bought this CD for the first track (The Original Miami Vice Theme). "Miami Vice" is an extended remix of the original theme and is also good. "Evan" and "Flashback" are softer tunes, which are also enjoyable. But so that one doesn't get to relaxed, "Chase" is set between them and this tune really moves.

The vocal tracks are some classic tunes, as a number of them can be found on other CD's. "In the Air Tonight" is one of Phil Collins' best tunes. It was even remade for the new Miami Vice Move soundtrack. "Smuggler's Blues" & "You Belong to the City" speak clearly about the life portrayed in the Miami Vice series.

"Vice" is rap song, which can teach you one of two things. It's either a prerequisite on what you will deal with as a cop or a it's crash-course for the aspiring gangsta. "Own The Night" is a decent song, but not my favorite. I'm not a big fan of Better Be Good To Me, but liking all but 1 track on a CD is probably a rarity for most people, as I know it is for me.

Few soundtracks have lasted the way this one has. It is a must for the 80's music fan.

Nice.......2006-03-03

I thought this CD was only Jan Hammer themes but find out there are more musics of other people, I would be more happy if this CD were only Jan Hammer musics.

One Great CD!.......2005-12-22

If you want to start a Jan and Dean collection, this is THE CD to buy. It includes their biggest hits, their most popular songs. It's good, clean, innocent fun to listen to. It's the CD that started off my growing collection. You'll love it! After picking up this one, move on to some of the others, preferably the 3 CD combo of "Drag City," The Little Old Lady From Pasadena," and Popsicle."

Classical.......2005-01-31

I am a very big Beach Boy fan. Yes, Brian Wilson was influenced by Jan and Dean. Remember though he did write songs like "Sidewalk Surfin", and "Surf City"for them. Yet this album is filled with a lot of classics.

Classical hits.......2004-12-21

This Jan and Dean album show the rock n' roll. This is stocked with classics like "Little Old Lady from Pasadena" and "Sidewalk Surfing." these songs share the same theme with the Beach Boys, but are equally great.

Excellent variety of J&D music.......2004-04-07

For anyone who is curious about the Jan and Dean era or about their music in general, this would be a excellent CD to own because it give a listener the feel for their type of music, a taste of this duo's very diverse talent and just some plain old great rock and roll oldies music! I am a Beach Boys fan by admission but I can see a great deal of influence on Brian Wilson by Jan and Dean! I highly recommend this CD...really excellent!

Great Collection Of Jan And Dean's Hits.......2002-07-18

Life and fame were very good to Jan and Dean, at least for a while, when they started out as a Garage Duo making the tours of local recording studios. They quickly took advantage of the happenstance of the rise of southern California surfer music to catch a wave to the top with an early hit, "Linda". Later came "Surf City", and a raft of together, such as "Honolulu Lulu", "The New Girl In School', and "Sidewalk Surfing" (which robbed the melody and chord progressions from Beach Boy pal Brian Wilson's "Catch A Wave). Later came such popular numbers as "Ride The Wild Surf", "You really Know How to Hurt A Guy", and of course, "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena".

In what is one of the most ironic twists involving their career, one of their biggest hits was with a song called "Dead Man's Curve", which chronicled a fateful race between a Jaguar XKE and a Corvette Sting Ray, which ends with the protagonist badly mangled in the crash. Just a year later Jan was himself badly injured in such a crash in his own Corvette, and suffered a number of permanent disabilities from it. Still, Jan and Dean performed for years later with rock and roll revival tours, and Jan still records, although in a very limited sense. This was wonderful music, and it still plays well. I listen to them often, and I'm sure you will too once you listen to this album of their collected hits. Enjoy!

This is one of the best I've heard if you like country & duets... Absolutely wonderful!

Missing Some Major Duets!! .......2005-07-26

These tracks are all excellent but frankly several major country duets are not here!! Where on earth are Kenny Rogers and Dottie West?? Instead we get Rogers with Sheena Easton and the Rogers/Easton combo makes it almost entirely a pop recording and it should not be on this package. Buck Owens & Rose Maddox have a track but where is Buck with his far more famous duet partner Susan Raye? The Merle Haggard - Janie Fricke track should not have been included since she really only just sings harmony on the record. Why aren't Jimmy Wakely & Margaret Whiting who started the male/female star duet craze in 1949 with Slipping Around here or Kitty Wells & Red Foley, the first superstar duet? And where are Ferlin Husky & Jean Shepard, Jack Greene & Jeannie Seely, David Houston & Barbara Mandrell, Bobby Bare & Skeeter Davis, Roy Drusky & Priscilla Mitchell, Don Gibson & Dottie West, Johnny Duncan & Janie Fricke, to name just a few of the famous country duos of yore. Instead we have too many tracks with the same artists here. It's a very good package but it should have been a great and classic one.

It's missing "Voices" by Russ Ballard and "Ship of Fools" by Robert Plant. The first album disappointed me by not including "Girls with Guns" by Tommy Shaw and "I've Got a New Girl Now" by Honeymoon Suite.

NOTE: Though this may appear to be a long review, keep in mind it is designed for those who want to know nearly everything about this product. Thank you.


Miami Vice II: New Music From The Television series "Miami Vice" was the second of its kind. Rather confusingly, Miami Vice II covers songs from both the show's second and third season, not just the second, as the title seems to suggest. Rather, the "II" designates it as the second soundtrack. Complicating matters more is the fact that the VHS for the second season opener is also called "Miami Vice II", and this album would seem to be the accompanying soundtrack. It actually does include some songs from the two-hour second season premiere episode, but it goes beyond that as well.

Miami Vice II opens perfectly with the whispery, shadowy "Mercy" by former Sex Pistols(!) guitarist Steve Jones. Serious and moody, the song is the musical equivalent of the visual shift to darker colors in the show at the time of this album's release. It's a great opener for the album and a great song as well. It appeared in the third season episode "Stone's War".

The next track is "Send It To Me" by Gladys Knight and the Pips. Unlike "Mercy", which appeared on another additional album apart from Vice II (Jones's 1987 solo debut), "Send It To Me" is unique to this album. Interestingly, it is never heard in the series. "Send It To Me" is a bit brighter than the first song and eases you into the album more. But it is no less slick; the smooth, synth-laced pop-R&B trappings are also one of the song's strengths. A 12" single included an extended version, an acapella, and an instrumental of the song.

"Take Me Home" follows, and, honestly, no description can do justice to this song. Abstract, rhythmic, lulling, melodic, and hypnotic, it is Phil's pinnacle achievement. At the time, Phil Collins was on top of the world. Having used his all-time classic "In the Air Tonight" for the first soundtrack, it only seemed right to have another Collins song used in the series appear on the second soundtrack. "Take Me Home" was used for the ending of the second season two-hour premiere "The Prodigal Son" in a sequence fans will remember fondly.

"The Last Unbroken Heart" may make some cringe, but this emotional roller-coaster of a love-ballad duet should speak clear to anyone who has a heart. Two powerful voices - Patti Labelle and Bill Champlin's - take turns singing the verses, then join for the all-out chorus, which has Champlin screaming at ont point. Also unique to the album. From the memorable third season premiere episode "When Irish Eyes Are Crying". The episode featured a different, partially instrumental version.

"Crockett's Theme" by the brilliant Jan Hammer makes its debut here. Hammer scored the series and, in keeping with the tradition of the first soundtrack, again supplies some songs inspired by the music he composed for the series. I say "inspired" because Hammer, ever the professional, believes in crafting his sounds to a radio-ready format, so that each of his tracks feel polished and integrate into the album well. Therefore most of contributions to the soundtracks are not what you heard on television, rather, they are redone as singles. And they work astoundingly well. "Crockett's Theme" might be the most brilliant instrumental created for a character, surprassing Harold Faltermeyer's stiff and dated Axel F. It works so well without words. It's sexy. It might be the best track on the album; it's certainly the coolest. Perfectly fitting the character Sonny Crockett.

"When The Rain Comes Down" is another track unique to Miami Vice II. This uptempo, fast-paced rocker brings some needed energy into the album midway through. Done by Andy Taylor, who released his own solo effort apart from Duran Duran shortly after. This song was featured in the third season episode "Stone's War". A rare 45 includes an extended version (by a minute).

"Lover" must have pleased Roxy Music fans and non-fans alike; fans because it had never been released on compact disc until this album, as it is an extremely rare track and non-fans because it is a great song. Dreamy, mellow, and wandering, Bryan Ferry's fluttery vocals make it all the more sweet and memorable. Though not unique to Miami Vice II anymore (it also appears on Roxy's Thrill Of It All), it did not appear anywhere in the series. It's also the oldest song here: copyright 1982.

Another 70s punk-turned-slick 80s AOR act, The Damned, turn in "In Dulce Decorum", which blends a great riff, big harmonies, sparse, soaring vocals and a complex, layered sound. It's quite different from the other selections, but it's a great song and works well nevertheless. Interestingly, the song featured in the third season episode "Walk Alone" is a vocalized version, which would make this here an instrumental version.

Jackson Browne's "Lives In The Balance" accomplishes quite a feat: it serves both a melodically haunting sound and a powerful political statement. Browne questions America's involvement in foreign wars, wars that are decided by people far removed from those who fight it. Browne's story-telling lyrics and impassioned vocals bring the material to life. It could easily apply to today's world. The only political song here, it doesn't feel awkward thanks to the Jan Hammer-like pan flutes and overall tense, mysterious feel. Appeared in the third season episode "Stone's War".

The last two tracks are additional instrumentals by show composer Jan Hammer. "Miami Vice: New York Theme" is a chaotic, energetic dance-like theme to hail the arrival of Crockett and Tubbs in New York City from the episode "The Prodigal Son". There's a lot of stuff going on, but it's Hammer and it's another great, fun track. Listen for the abrupt shift at the end. That final part is part of a longer, unreleased theme from that episode. It's a nice touch to include it. The second Hammer track and final track on the soundtrack is the original, 60 second Miami Vice Theme used for the opening credits of the tv show. This is probably the greatest TV theme ever. It is certainly the most brilliant.

Miami Vice II is filled with lush, sleek, polished, mainstream 80s pop-rock. What makes it such a terrific listen time and again are the selections and the order of the selections: all of them to flow in unison to some hidden, undercurrent of cool, yet they are all strong and unique enough to stand on their own. And that is the making of a great soundtrack album.

In comparison with the first soundtrack, this one is more interesting and enjoyable. The first soundtrack was more gritty and slightly tacky. This one is all class, first-class all the way. The soundtrack producers succeeded: it's cooler. And that's hard to top in the world of "Miami Vice".

To be honest, serious fans of the show may be disappointed; especially when looking back, it feels as if something more could have been included, considering how many other fine songs were featured in Miami Vice that were never released on the soundtracks (or never released at all) but could have been here. Especially frustrating are the Jan Hammer selections. Two of the three of them were released on other albums around the same time. Considering the myriad of gorgeous mini-themes Hammer created for exclusively for the show, it's a little bit of a let-down several additional new tracks were not included.

That said, fans of 80s pop-rock in general who are not necessarily into the show will find a lot to enjoy here, and they will find themselves coming back to Miami Vice II over and over. It may not be for everyone, but it is certainly the finest of its genre and perhaps of its era too.

Note there are three different versions of this CD. Two are North American releases with differing cover poses, and the third is a German release with a different rear insert design. All have the same song content.

Nice.......2006-03-03

I thought this CD was only Jan Hammer themes but find out there are more musics of other people, I would be more happy if this CD were only Jan Hammer musics.

A CD That Outlasted The T.V. Series.......2004-08-19

Seeing Miami Vice in re-runs really made me wonder what I saw in the T.V. show in the first place. The music from the T.V. show is a different story. I originally bought this sound track for Andy Taylor's "When The Rain Comes Down". After hearing the entire CD I was quite surprised that it transcended my expectations. A nice merge of divergent music styles.

Fair.......2003-08-21

Following the massive success of the first Miami Vice soundtrack, this album feature some new songs that are fair but have nothing memorable about them. It also was not liked by the audience that much either b/c it only charted at 82 on the billboard 200, unlike the original which was number 1 for 11 weeks. If youre a die hard Miami Vice fan, I recommend it, but if youre not just skip over this and buy Miami Vice The Complete Collection.

An older man who can write from the POV of a young woman.......2007-01-13

I loved the novella written by Steve Martin. It was a quick read that I really enjoyed. It is one of those books that is small, but says a lot.

Unlike most book-to-movie projects this one did not dissapoint. It was very true to the story. I love to see Steve Martin playing a subdued character. He is an amazing actor, comedien, and writer. Is there anything he can't do?

I would suggest buying the book as well. You will be able to read it in just a few hours, and it will make the movie even better.

what is the song.......2006-10-31

hey whats the song they play at the end of the trailer?

sad, yet beautiful.......2006-10-17

This is my all time favorite original score soundtrack. I call this cd a "night" cd, as I always listen to it when going to bed, or driving home late from work. The music is so beautifully passionate, and yet very sad and haunting. The songs will literally bring you to tears, depedning on what kind of mood you are in. Anyone who is a true lover of music will enjoy this cd as much as I do.

Shopgirl..........2006-06-14

Shopgirl is an elegant soundtrack that is deeply in passion. I was dissapointed like Greenteagirl, because there wasn't any songs from the movie on the soundtrack. I really liked:

"Carry Me Ohio"

"I Only Want To Be With You"

But the score was beautiful and sad. It mostly has strings (violens, cellos, etc...) It brought a few tears to my eyes.

(~~)==++ JULIA FISCHER: simply TREMENDOUS - a very RFRESHING new RECORDING by this very young Violinist!.......2007-02-15

SEVEN STARS******* for the woman who releases a new CD almost every two months!

Right during "Mozart Year" 2006 a recording of Mozart works for violin - of all of his violin concertos on two CDs - was released by this very young and already fully established 1. Class Violinist. The release of these concertos of this tremendous quality shows or reveals JULIA FISCHER completely naturally and self-confident, and she proves to be a virtuoso, whose place is in the "thin air" of the violinistical "first league", who stands not only right by the side of but ahead of other well-established and outstanding violinists, and beyond that she belongs to the BEST OF THE VERY BEST VIOLINISTS THROUGHOUT THE WOLRD!

Julia Fischer plays her violin highly accurately and her intonation is completely clean (just as we have become accustomed to!) and she always produces a rather slightly and elegantly formed vibrato than to make it to pulsate extremely excessively; she is so certain about what she does when she is playing her violin and, to our great delight, she avoides "colouring" each note excessively and to form them in an overemphasised expressiveness and intensity, and this way she avoids unnecessary vibrato in general. HER ACOUSTIC "COLOURS" are discreet and VERY SPLENDID and of MUCH BRIGHTNESS as well as EXPRESSIVNESS, and they are much right to the point in each phrasing; JULIA FISCHER's TECHNICAL CONTROL and INTERPRETATION of THESE PIECES, as well as of PIECES BY OTHER COMPOSERS, are so PURE and HIGHLY PERFECT! This makes JULIA a TRUE and VERY FINE YOUNG MASTRESS OF the VIOLIN! This is a GRAND PLUS FOR HER, and her TECHNICAL CONTROL and INTERPRETATION of pieces for violin is GENERALLY TRUE FOR this WONDERFUL YOUNG VIOLINIST JULIA FISCHER. This is one more reason to ADMIRE HER SO MUCH!

There is one more ability, which makes me appreciate her and which makes JULIA even more admirable for me, that is the fact that SHE w r o t e / c o m p o s e d HER O W N and very beautifully created cadenzas for the five of Mozart's violin concertos - even at this very young age SHE "CADENCES" HERSELF! JULIA, I BOW FOR YOU for this! This way you I N S P I R E N E W L I F E INTO MOZART's violin works - and in particular into those "antiquated" (fusty!) old cadenzas which can be heard thousands of times from numerous other recordings of the same pieces... and which, therefore, have become known to everyone well enough and which we have so by now become a bit "tired" of (bored with!)..... (I do not mind those "old" cadenzas when they are performed/played by other virtuosos with much heart and soul as well as with much technical competence - but a few NEW, "REFRESHING" CADENZAS every now and then would be VERY WELL INTRODUCED into VIOLIN LITERATURE and SERVE us with a FRESH BREEZE of NEW MUSICALITY! THIS BREEZE now brings us to our great delight --- thanks to her musical capability and skills as well as thanks to her CLEAR and WELL-DEFINED UNDERSTANDING of MUSICAL CONTEXTS and thanks to the extraordinary and superior control of her instrument --- JULIA FISCHER!). Julia shows us that CLASSICAL MUSIC NOT ONLY lives from NEW INTERPRETATIONS or ideas, which refer to these, made by virtuosos, BUT can be VITALISED also BY INTRODUCING IDEAS OF COMPOSITION which are MADE BY CADENZAS CREATED BY VIRTUOSOS THEMSELVES!

Another, a third reason to name these recordings by Julia Fischer (one of) my absolutely favourite recordings is that somebody had the courage - much in Bach and Vivaldi style! - to use a HARPSICHORD AS ACCOMPANIMENT for the orchestral background. MOZART would be MUCH CHARMED and DELIGHTED about this really great accompaniment of his first two violin concertos, both of which were recorded with harpsichord accompaniment, through which these get a FRESH BREEZE of NEW MUSICALITY. This NEW FRESH BREEZE, in some passages, reminds me of Bach's and Vivaldi's violin concertos (maybe it reminds me a bit of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons"); the harpsichord in the orchestral background kind of slightly and discreetly eases the musical structure of these pieces. And Julia Fischer does not "seize" these concertos but plays as a perfectly matched partner of the orchestra and the conductor Yakov Kreizberg (who seems to be her preferred conductor)! JULIA, that's BEAUTIFUL! ASTONISHING!!!

So, the FRESHNESS and LIVELINESS OF THESE NEW RECORDINGS of the MOZART VIOLIN CONCERTOS REMIND me very strongly of JULIA FISCHER's SUPERB RECORDING of "THE FOUR SEASONS" which she made a view years ago and which was released on DVD; both her recordings of Vivaldi as well as of Mozart are for the same reasons HIGHLY REMARKABLE as well as RECOMMENDABLE, in particular, since there are also thousands of recordings of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" whose interpretations are, as I see it, "antiquated" (fusty!) and by which one gets bored or feels tired from. So, some years ago, JULIA FISCHER succeeded also in BREEZING NEW and FRESH MUSICALITY into ANTONIO VIVALDI's "THE FOUR SEASONS"! Among many other recordings by Julia Fischer, there is one particular recording by her which I would like to mention on this occasion and which can be heard in the same high quality only rarely from other violin virtuosos in a comparable quality. It is the recording of the RUSSIAN VIOLIN CONCERTO by ARAM KHACHATURIAN which belongs to my personal favourites made by Julia (and certainly it belongs to Julia's favourite concertos), because it brings so much warmth and musical depth into with the beautifulness of her violin play. And also some years ago, again really early in her career, she recorded the BACH SOLO SONATAS and PARTITAS as TERRIFICALLY as BRILLIANTLY - I BOW TO YOU AGAIN!! So much bowing...

Not only because of JULIA FISCHER's OUTSTANDING VIOLIN PLAY but also because of the use of the HARPSICHORD AS ACCOMPANIMENT of the FIRST TWO of MOZART's VIOLIN CONCERTOS --- and F I R S T O F A L L because of the CADENZAS W R I T T E N AND C R E A T E D BY JULIA FISCHER H E R S E L F ! --- I would (if possible!) give AT LEAST SEVEN or MORE STARS for these REFERENCIAL RECORDINGS! ALWAYS KEEP GOING JULIA!! And PLEASE ALSO KEEP COMPOSING FURTHER CADENZAS, please also for those concertos by other composers!

25 Piano Favorites.......2007-01-09

This is my favorite classical CD since it is geared to a wide audience. Many of my friends and acquaintances enjoy it, too.

Good for the price............2005-11-30

I listen to this CD while reading or when I need inspiration to play the piano. There are many classic pieces here that will have many recognizable sections to the non classical music fans. The sound quality is not amazing but the essence and technical difficulty of these pieces can still be heard. Most of the songs are under 5 mins and there is a mix of faster and slower tempos.

This is a bargain bin CD that you usually see at Fry's Electronics. There are more detailed and comprehensive collections out there but for 5 bucks this isn't bad and you basically get what you expect. There are much better classical CD's out there of course but for a beginner compilation album, this one has a great price.

Wonderful relaxing and soothing music.......2005-09-02

This cd of piano classics has become one of my favorites. Since I am a full-time student and work out of my home the music relaxes me during times of rest.

The Sound Quality Really Bugs Me.......2004-08-26

This is a good intro CD to famous piano pieces. However, the sound quality is really *poor*. Of course, what do you expect for the price? I'm sure there are better Piano Sample CDs out there that sound much better. It's worth the extra money, trust me.

Good Disc for the Price.......2004-01-19

A good compilation of excerpts from the rich and vast piano repertoire. Sure they are merely excerpts and are meant to just introduce the piano to someone unfamiliar with the instrument or classical music, but that doesn't mean that an experienced person can't just pop it into the CD player and enjoy.

While there's no classic recordings here or big names, most of the tracks are well played and acceptable in sound quality. There are some interesting pieces here that are unfamiliar to most, such as the Dvorak Humoresque or the Paderewski Minuet, as well as classics such as the Debussy Clair de Lune or the Mozart Concerto.

The rendition of the Rhapsody in Blue is a nice performance with a well done ending that may even be better than some other CD's made by big named pianists.

Directors making strong characteristic decisions about the music in their films are, aside from being few in number, generally people who depend on a particular composer--directors like Steven Spielberg (John Williams), Steven Soderbergh (Cliff Martinez), and John Carpenter (himself). Michael Mann is that rare director for whom musical literacy has less to do with professional partnership than with a hunger for aesthetic exploration. From his days with Miami Vice, in which he spearheaded the integration of pop songs with a scene's motion, Mann has been relentlessly creative in the scoring of his work--setting producer Trevor Jones (a knowledgeable technophile) loose in The Last of the Mohicans wilderness and getting Elliot Goldenthal to blend electronic, hard-rock, and orchestral effects for a haunting score to Heat. The common theme is mood, at times profoundly spiritual, fashionably effete, or resolutely cold. These are the temperaments of Lisa Gerrard, best known for her work with the prototrance act Dead Can Dance, and her sometime partner Pieter Bourke. Their score for The Insider is a rich montage of paranoia and momentum, perfectly suited to Mann's moralistic corporate thriller. Mechanized drums flirt with ambient music while, soaring above, thick clouds of synthesized drones recall Peter Gabriel's fortunate work on the big screen. --Marc Weidenbaum

I'm so happy you had it!.......2007-05-15

I had been looking in stores for this soundtrack because I think the music is really full of raw emotion and is a great experience listening to it. And, as always, ordering things from Amazon is easy and the items usually come sooner than promised, which is great. I'll continue to look around Amazon for future purchases!

Spellbinding Soundtrack.......2007-01-16

After viewing the film, The Insider, I had to have the CD! This soundtrack is spellbinding. Most of the music has an almost otherworldly, Middle Eastern vibe that is very compelling. I keep playing this CD over and over.

Unusual Music for a Soundtrack.......2007-01-16

I bought this CD strictly to hear the entire piece titled, "Sacrifice." I was greatly impressed with it when I first saw the film. I had heard portions of it in the background of several movie trailers after that, which led me to want to hear the entire piece and any background information about it. Although I was unable to obtain any of the aforementioned information, I still enjoy listening to the piece and am glad I purchased the CD.

Wonderful.......2006-02-18

This is a wonderfully evocative soundtrack. The tracks are diverse in tone and have an other-worldly quality to them. I wish I had bought this album sooner!

Lisa Gerrard.......2005-12-25

Lisa Gerrard's music moves me in ways that no other singer/musician does. Being a DCD fan, I bought Mirror Pool & Duality the day they were released. (They are still my favories)
The Insider is a great movie. Some of the best work I have seen from Crowe & Pacino. Lisa captures the mood (much like she did with Gladiator) with her special unique voice & style.
Lisa's music has a powerful effect on me and makes me feel as if I am going through a re-birthing. The sadness & pain of letting go of the past coupled with the hope and anticipation of what is to come. The struggle & release cycles throughout her music but always leaves me feeling at peace. Meltdown at the end of this score fits perfectly. I love to meditate to Lisa's music and let her take me on a beautiful journey. Art at its finest.
