As the New York Times put it when Danny Elfman's Serenada Schizophrana was performed live at Carnegie Hall in February 2005: "Better good Hollywood music than second-rate Brahms." Elfman, better known for his soundtracks to Tim Burton movies, had been commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra to write a concert work, and the Serenada Schizophrana in six movements was the result. It appears here under the baton of John Mauceri, known for his crossover work with Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Fans of Elfman's soundtracks won't be disappointed—or even very much surprised—by this venture into the concert hall. The composer's style remains very much the same, probably because his habitual orchestrator, Steve Bartek (whose contribution is crucial to Elfman's sound), worked on four movements, with Edgardo Simone handling the remaining two. Blending Bernard Herrmann, Duke Ellington, Max Steiner, and especially JG Thirlwell (a.k.a. big-band industrialist Foetus), Elfman has come up with an audience-friendly piece that actually sounds more convincing than similarly high-reaching works by Paul McCartney or Elvis Costello.--Elisabeth Vincentelli

A soundtrack without a movie.......2007-06-27

Danny Elfman is one of Hollywood's most talented score writers, with more than 100 movie soundtracks under his belt. His musical arrangements never fail to impress, and he has an almost mystical ability to match the mood of his music to the action on-screen -- particularly when he's working with filmmaker Tim Burton.

Commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra, this symphonic piece gave the former Oingo Boingo frontman a new challenge -- working without the visual cues of a movie to inspire him. But, while the resulting tracks are entertaining on an aural level, they still sound like a soundtrack to me. And, without my own visual memories to accompany the music, my imagination filled them in -- I mostly saw scenes of Johnny Depp emoting or the stop-action hijinks of a skellington at play. Appropriately, it was later picked for use as a soundtrack for the IMAX film, Deep Sea 3D.

So really, it's simple. If you enjoy Elfman's soundtrack work, get this and you'll love it. If you think soundtracks should only be heard in the background of a film, skip this or get yourself to an IMAX theater for a little underwater exploration with narrators Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet and, of course, Elfman.

ohh weird!.......2007-04-26

Weird and Good! You can definitely identify it being an Elfman work. I really enjoy this ride. I would like to see a modern ballet put to this!

Danny Elfman turns the music world on it's ear........2007-04-13

Mr. Elfman is always traveling new roads in discovering what he can accomplish. "Serenada Schizophrana" is a good example of starting at square one and producing a whole new world for our ears to digest. In a musical landscape as far away from mainstream, one would expect no less than ears that could digest. Mr. Elfman is always flexing his artistic muscles, we can expect more greatness in his career.

Elfman's Classical Album a Must Have.......2007-03-20

This is vintage Danny Elfman but on the grand level of a full orchestral classical recording. I played this for my students, and they love the dark recording. A fantastic album.

Danny Elfman's masterpiece..........2007-02-14

Danny Elfman has long been a favorite of mine, going all the way back to his days with Oingo Boingo. I've been following his career closely since I heard his Beetlejuice score in 1988. He followed it with the classic Batman score in 1989. He made wonderful music throughout the nineties, often accompanying Tim Burton's films (he scored all of them save for Ed Wood). In my opinion, it took until 1999 to surpass his work on Batman, with the release of the Sleepy Hollow soundtrack. And now, with the release of Serenada Schizophrana, Sleepy Hollow has been dethroned. It'll take an impressive score to take this last composition's place.

This orchestral suite showcases Elfman's versatile influences and he sounds better than ever. Sometimes dark, other times playful with more quiet and subtle parts, this was a completely different project than his usual film scores. He had a lot of freedom for this symphony and it shows. Serenada is divided in 7 movements and contains a bonus track.

If some of the cuts sound familiar, it's because it was heavily featured in last year's Imax film Deep Sea 3D, narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet. It fit perfectly well with the mysterious underwater world unfolding in 3D on the oversized screen.

If you're a fan of Elfman's, you'll love Serenada. If you love movie scores, chances are you'll enjoy it too. The only downside with this CD has nothing to do with its content, but rather with its encoding. This is a SACD (Super Audio CD) and therefore will not be playable on your computer. It is designed for super audio players so you might want to check if your CD player can play it. It plays fine on mine and on my DVD player. The sound quality is much clearer than your average CD, but I find it disappointing that I'm not able to listen to this great suite on my IPod. Still, it's well worth it for the opening track alone!

Wolfgang's Daddy was a humorist........2002-12-22

This CD is very entertaining, and it is amusing. The excellent classical music on the disk is punctuated with whistles, shouts, and Rebel yells -- just like an Alabama barndance. I love it!

What a gas! Wolfgang's Daddy was a very funny and talented guy, too. Remember the Toy music?

I would love to send this CD to my friend in Washington State, but his address is not available. I'm sure he would enjoy it

Where else can you hoot, and howl at the moon to the tune of Mozart's music? Buy this! You'll love it!

Solid Line-Up.......2005-08-06

This album features some great New York players in solo and ensemble works. A good, somewhat embellished Telemann arrangement starts off the recording. The Biber sonata for six trumpets is also admirable, if you like the New York sound. The Telemann sonata played by Stephen Burns is my favorite piece on the album. His crisp articulation and singing notes make an otherwise dull piece subtle and stirring. Other pieces that you don't often see on baroque albums include the Zelenka reiterfanfares and Altenberg's concerto for seven trumpets and timpani, both played cleanly. The only thing one could hold against these guys is that their sound isn't as full as it could be.

some of the most beautiful songs in the Russian repertoire........2003-02-10

Anyone who appreciates Russian art-song could hardly fail to be moved by this compellingly beautiful music. The outstanding collaboration between Tozer and Andrew is superb. Sure Andrew has lost the bloom of youth in her voice but this has been replaced with an enrichment in the total 'understanding' of the music and ofcourse text because Ludmilla Andrew is of Canadian birth and Russian parentage, a veteran and Grande Dame of Opera she has sung this repertoire for some years. Geoffrey Tozer is a very sympathetic accompanist never retiring or maddeningly decreet in his approach nor overbearingly virtuosic, he is a complete 'musician' playing the way Medtner himself would have; supporting the vocalist not beating them down.
Put simply this CD is worth its weight in gold. A rare treasure to be returned to time and time again for uplifting inspiration, beauty and poetry...a gem.
