The Price Club.......2005-04-28

"I am here," said Leontyne Price when interviewed as she opened the new Metropolitan Opera with Samuel Barber's underrated ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, "and you will know that I am the best and will hear me. The color of my skin or the kink of my hair or the spread of my mouth has nothing to do with what you are listening to." Back in the 1960s Price was one of the greatest divas in all of opera, and it wasn't just her voice but her magnificent stage presence, combined with her social activism. All of the above come into play in this collection of secular songs and ditties, some of them traditional plantation chanties and others, art songs and a scattering of pop music. And some of them, like Gershwin's "Summertime," cross the ever-permeable boundaries between Broadway and classical. These recordings were made at different times in Price's career, and her voice, while always angelic, has different shadings and reaches a different range of timbre in each separate recording date, but there is no question that, as time goes by, she is able to impart a richness of life experience noticeably absent from some of her earlier work.

"Ave Maria" sounds heavenly no matter which way you slice it, and as for "I Wonder As I Wander," it brings tears to your eyes. If you have a heart that's beating you will be moved by this rendition. "Ein feste Burg" is pretty strong, but Price seems more comfortable with the traditional spirituals, though perhaps it is the slightly off-kilter sounds of the Ambrosian Singers (what a name) who back her up on many of these tracks, that detract slightly from the experience. Compare "Lead Kindly Light" for a clear sense of what constitutes authority vs. what is a wee bit overproduced. If you had this compilation, and perhaps one of Leontyne Price's Christmas albums, you could attain nirvana any time you wanted to, just flip a switch and close your eyes, let her lift you up on wings of song.

A living legend.......2005-03-10

Leontyne Price (still alive) and already passing into immortality amongst vocal artists, both classical and popular. Leontyne Price stands at the pinnacle of her classical art, but those who only know her work in La Forza del destino or the Verdi Requiem are in for a heart rending treat with this album where Leontyne Price goes home to her roots in Mississippi and gives an unabashed account of the classic spirituals she sang as a young woman. Like John Mc Cormacks rendering of Irish songs there is a personal longing and devotion expressed here that reveals a side of the artist not known in the bulk of their "classical" repetoire. A sense of going home like Citizen Kane's rosebud, or as Dorothy Gale observes at the end of the Wizard of Oz "everything I could ever have wanted was right in my own backyard "

not your daddy's old timey spiritual.......2004-06-23

Agreed this is a good cd for a beautiful voice, but this is not, repeat not, for someone who wants to hear that old-timey religious fervor that you think of when you've been to a Black Baptist hand-clapping, standing, swaying, and singing service.

Immaculate Vocals of Leontyne Price.......2003-12-31

IMMACULATE, SUPERB vocal range and style! There's no other words that can complement Miss Leontyne Price's vocal arrangements. Miss Price's voice is strong, and shrills very nicely to the instruments played on many songs listed on this double CD which is a joy to treasure; every song listed are songs I was raised to hearing and singing. Miss Price is the reason why many of these songs remain in popularity and presently used. Miss Leontyne Price has been incredible in many of her past performances. This is my fourth CD of Miss Price and I am glad to own this particular CD forever and ever. Many thanks to the executors who found this remarkable album and upgraded it to a CD format! **Angi**

Great Gospel Stuff.......2001-04-12

This is a great CD. The only problem I have with it is that on some of the selections there is a boy's choir screaming in the background, and this takes away (a bit) from her performance. That said, her best selections are those that are either unaccompanied or those where her voice is not buried. Songs that strike me are - His Name So Sweet, He's Got The Whole World, Were You There, I Wonder as I Wander, Lift Every Voice and Sing, and my all time favourite Summertime. Enough said.

Varèse Sarabande à son meilleur!.......2003-04-17

Robert Townson célèbre ici le 500ème cd à être édité par Varèse Sarabande en créant une compilation receuillant les nombreux réengistrements que Varèse Sarabande sut faire au travers des dernières années. Regroupant du matériel de Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, John Williams, Alex North et plusieurs autres, In Session propose un parcours éclectique au travers des années de compositions de chacune des bandes sonores présentées au sein de la compilation. Le voyage commence à avec la musique rejetée de 2001 d'Alex North, pour faire un parcours passant par Rebecca, Citizen Kane (Félicitons ici le FABULEUSE voix de la soprano Janice Watson et la direction impécable de Joel McNeely), Viva Zapata!, Psycho, The Sand Pebbles, Patton, Jaws, Platoon (Autre musique rejetée du regreté Georges Delerue, pastiche du célèbre Adagio pour cordes de Samuel Barber), Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Musique composée par Joel McNeely pour le livre se déroulant entre The Empire Stricke Back et The Return of the Jedi) pour finalement clore avec Tara's Bulba. Il s'agit ici d'une sélection très riche, des morceaux d'une durée appréciable et d'une direction et d'une sonorité incroyable. Il s'agit ici d'un merveilleux cadeau de Robert Townson et Varèse Sarabande (Label qui célèbre en 2003 son 25ème anniversaire. Surveillez aussi la compilation de Varèse Sarabande (4 cds pour le prix de un!) qui verra le jour le 22 avril 2003) et c'est une compilation que toute personne sensible à la musique doit posséder! Chapeau Varèse!

A copy in every household . . ........2003-02-09

This disc is so chock-full of classic scores from classic films that every movie-and-music lover should own a copy. Thanks to Robert Townson for producing this collection and the entire Varese film score catalog. My favorite tracks from this disc are "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"; "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"; and "Midway".

A sampler feat. some of the greatest film scores in history........2001-09-06

Words cannot convey what a collection like this means to a film music collector such as myself. Varese Saraband has been releasing quality film scores and music for the last 20 plus years. My vinyl and CD collections burst with so much great stuff from Varese. One day I was looking in the bins of my local record store and noticed this little gem of a collection. I looked at it and saw a virtual cornucopia of the great film score cues for only $ (and 2 discs). So I purchased it and opened it up. Much to my surprise, the booklet is chock full of information about each scoring session and pictures to boot. I also learned more about some of these wonderful pieces as well. Well thanks to Mr. Townson and this nice collection, I plan to purchase some of the recordings these cues were released on since I don't own classics like Viva Zapata, Alex North's 2001, Superman (not the Varese version, I do have the other release), and Patton. Guess I will have to save a few pennies, but it will be worth it. I recommend this collection to anybody who wants to discover and learn about the history of film music. I also think it's a great listen from the first song to the last on both discs. My compliments to Varese on a great collection of classics (and keeping it under $).

"the man behind Varese Sarabande ~ Robert Townson".......2001-04-06

The music that this label releases is without a doubt in a class by themselves, always perfection. Here we have the 500th CD release from ~ "The Man Behind The Music" ~ Mr. Robert Townson. So much care is taken with each album, that you feel you are witnessing the birth of a newborn baby, and that may be just what it is.

For those of us who buy each album ~ people who work to create them ~ the artwork ~ musicians ~ and a list of some of the most talented composers and conductors ~ John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, John Debney, Georges Delerue, Cliff Eidelman, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, Michael Lang, Henry Mancini, Joel McNeely, Alfred Newman, Alex North, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Shostakovich, Frederic Talgorn, Franz Waxman, Rick Wentworth and John Williams ~ and as always the sound quality and performances by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra and National Philharmonic Orchestra is dynamically flawless and simply superb.

This economically priced 2-CD-Set ~ pure film score sampling ~ is worth it's weight in gold. One should not have a favorite from this vast collection, but if asked ~ it would be "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" (1962) composer Elmer Bernstein took it to the limit and beyond, the story-line, cast and score was the perfect marriage.

A big, big thank you to ~ Matthew Joseph Peak (cover/session photography) ~ Jonathan Allen, Geoff Foster, Bernie Kirsh, Mike Ross, Mike Sheady and Al Swanson (recording engineers) ~ Rich Breen (mastering engineer) ~ and for the extensive 28 page liner-note booklet featuring "behind the scenes" memories of these past 500 albums, may we look forward to future classics on the next 500 CD's from producer...ROBERT TOWNSON!

EPICS THAT DO NOT DISAPPOINT.......2007-05-14

WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA TO TAKE HOLLYWOOD'S COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL EPIC MOVIES, EXTRACT THE BEST PORTIONS OF THE SCORES AND COMBINE THEM FROM THE DAWN OF MAN TO THE RECENT PAST. I PARTICULARLY ENJOY THE SUITES FROM GLADIATOR, BRAVEHEART AND THE VIKING. THE REPRODUCTION OF THESE SCORES BY THE CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS IS BRILLIANT, AND THE RECORDING WAS EXCELLENT. I ONLY WISH THERE WERE EIGHT DISCS INSTEAD OF FOUR TO COVER THE VOLUMES OF SCORES THAT COULD NOT BE INCLUDED. LET'S HOPE FOR A VOLUME II.

Interesting selections . . ........2006-12-15

This compiiation album makes an excellent gift for that person wanting to discover great, epic scores. I'm surprised, however, that Vangelis' Alexander is included in this one. Not bad, just surprised.

The reason I give this album 4 out of 5 stars is because of the swashbuckler section. How is it that CutThroat Island - one of the greatest epics in history - was scrubbed out of the list? Pirates of the Caribbean is included on the selection but nothing from Debney's masterpiece?!

Yes, that is a huge compilant. If you haven't discovered CutThroat Island, I suggest you get it then you'll understand my frustration. Still, this album is a great buy and worth looking into!

Highly recommended.......2002-08-20

This pricey UK import CD filled a lot of gaps in my music collection and is an excellent overview of notable music of (mostly) recent films. It's difficult to find consistently listenable soundtrack collections like this, by that I mean free from the obligitory Whitney Houston or Celine Dion embarrassments. Usually rights issues prevent comprehensive compilations like this in the US, too. While I enjoy a lot of soundtrack music, there aren't so many complete soundtracks that I would care to own, some examples of exceptions being Ennio Morricone scores and the About a Boy Soundtrack. While certainly most of these tracks are the actual recordings used in their respective films, I noticed that "La mamma morte" from Philadelphia is not the Maria Callas version. There might be other cases like this, I'm not sure. And "Unchained Melody" from Ghost is an orchestral version, not the pop song (but I consider this a plus). This collection seems to focus on the subtle and quirky, yet melodic music of indie films, with less emphasis on the loud sweeping orchestral scores of major Hollywood hits, but of course there are a few like Gladiator and Braveheart, which are welcome here because like I've said, I probably wouldn't listen to the whole score. I love the two Thomas Newman compositions from American Beauty, and it's good to have some music from films by the Cohen Brothers here. My only complaint would have to be the order of the songs. You would think they would avoid jumping back and forth between pop songs, orchestral scores, and quiet music, but it just seems thrown together by random. I would compare this collection to the excellent "Miramax Films Greatest Hits" but the makers of that album knew to group the two pop/rock songs at the end.

Album Description

After a critically-acclaimed debut, Eliot Popkin took a few years off to write what will be his breakthrough album into the mainstream, entitled "Endless Ride." With a fine supporting cast including Grammy-nominated Producers (Juan Gabriel) and seasoned session and live players (James Taylor, Chaka Khan), Popkin delivers a fine 11-song collection of pop and acoustic rock gems. From the infectious title track, to the painfully beautiful "The Reason Why" to the acoustically simple "For A While", there isn't one misstep here. The arrangements never go fully over the top, allowing for Popkin's expressive voice to weave in and out of stories of relationships, family, childhood, spirit and life. This is a fine balance of an artist taking some chances and stretching themselves, while still giving mainstream radio something juicy and memorable. This is one artist to watch in 2005. Popkin should be ready for quite an exciting ride himself.

A folky attempt to enter the Pop arena........2006-02-15

First, I just want to say that this artist definitely sounds a lot better live than listening to his studio CDs. I bought his 1st CD and I thought that it was very Folky. At that time I thought this artist's goal was to make this kind of music. Then when his 2nd album was released, I bought it because I had heard the album was a Pop album. Well, I was sadly disappointed because this album doesn't sound that much different than his 1st album. I do credit this artist for writing his songs. I mean, there's 2 songs on this new project, #3 & #4 which after playing several times, are very good but, by far, they could not be called Pop songs.

This artist needs to experiment a little more into changing his singing style. An artist should always attempt to top the previous album, not make it sound exactly a like. I definitely think that there is some potential for this artist to go far. I think what happened here is what can happen to any artist that controls every part of the production of an album. Buy this album if you didn't buy his last one.

Pop Music with a Vision.......2005-12-18

Indeed, not your average slickster just making music for the sake of getting laid. How refreshing it is to hear the male sans the bravado? I mean, how often is it that we hear a compassionate guy on the radio? With songs that uplift, encourage, and enlighten, Endless Ride is a great pick for your next family gathering. This one definitely gets the Acoustic Fuel Stamp of Approval.

Album Description

Elektrohasch 3481573696932 Recorded: 2007 Released: 2007 CAUSA SUI are a young four-piece band from Denmark. They describe their music as untamed music picked up from the late 60ies, not looking back at zeitgeists and other limitations, picking up different trails on the way, wrapped in a complex, but soundwise warm and simple jacket. Kicking off with a sonic fuzzed out MC5-like groover the songs become more and more spacy, combined with long graceful instrumental passages, freaked out guitar works, super dynamic drums and frantic vivid vocals. This powerful jouney culminates in the Workings of the Great Blue Swells, an over 12 minutes long psychedelic space rock epic. // Neues Album der Dänen mit ihrem fetten, schwer groovenden 60ies-Rock.

where's the wah wah.......2001-01-17

This album opened up the world of jazz for me. It was a perfect transition from rock/funk. The guitarist, Wah Wah Watson, will get you off your booty and have you dancing. The album gave me pleasant flashbacks to the 70s police/detective shows. Lalo Schifrin's arranging is smooth usually sitting in a dorian mode and not flipping through keys. It is essential for any music lover's collection. "Fire Dance" is exactly that; it pumps with a funky groove. Wah Wah Watson's solo is magical. Wah Wah's playing has also influenced many hip hoppers. It's a real winner!

Guitar Master Goes "SMOOTH".......2004-04-08

I first heard Free Ride on WQCD-FM in NY and instantly loved
"Jazzy Koo". Superb playing from a guitar great. I just bought Free Ride, and it is a fantastic disc. I am a guitar player and
smooth jazz guitar fanatic. Free Ride is a testimony to Rick's
expert playing/arranging. The solo on "Good 2 Go" is outstanding.
This is one disc I just keep playing over and over.
"Free Ride" and "Hot & Cool" are a few of my favorite tracks.

Marginally Good!.......2004-01-12

This is a good CD if you are new to smooth jazz.It really doesn't measure up to "real" smooth jazz works but it gets an A for effort.

Smoooooth.......2003-10-01

This is a mellow, nice collection of songs. We recommend it. Karen and Randy

Super Smooth Jazz CD by a legendary Guitar Player!.......2003-02-17

Just to bring you up to date for those that don't know the whole story behind Rick Derringer - He's been playing music professionally for over 40 years. Remember the song Hang On Sloopy by the McCoys? The song that bumped "Yesterday" by the Beatles of the U.S. charts. That's Rick. Remember Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo in the 70's? Remeber those great rock albums by Edgar Winter (hit songs: Free Ride/Frankenstein), those certified gold albums by Johnny Winter? Thanks Rick. Player and producer. Rick also has played and or produced with the likes of Kiss, Air Supply, Cyndi Lauper, Weird Al, Barbara Striesand, Meat Loaf, Steely Dan, Alice Cooper - the list goes on.

So here we are in the 5th decade of music from this master. Check out Rick's venture into Smooth Jazz. Guitar lovers should really dig this! Hot & Cool is the second single from Free Ride. Original, funky,, great guitar playing.

The fire keeps burning for this guy. Check it out!

An exceptional Performer to Listen to and Watch For.......2002-09-08

We came by Amilia by way of a Roger Corman film inwhich she wrote and sang "Don't Wait," as the background for the close of the picture. It was instant interest. A short websearch and "Heart Like an Engine" was ordered. Performers, songs by lyrics and arrangements effect you differently. When I find a song or recording that I play over and over it is significant. Finding new nuance and realization that the poetry, voice quality, and production values each time is rare. Amilia K. Spicer possesses a voice evoking a range of emotions and imagery. The lyrics are unusual in the manner a common human subject is revealed uncommonly and new. The range and style of the songs on this album go from cowboy reference, to swing influenced country, and blues.
The quality of her voice,particularly clear in this recording is used like an instrument to reveal more than just the words. Silences, changes in tempo, backup instrumentation, and expressive productions is above the common commercial products. Having heard Amilia live at the Kennedy Center and
playing her latest release "Seamless," she will continue to be a performer appreciated by other artists. The question is her achieving greater exposure and mass awareness as an artist. I will continue to look forward to her local performance and acquire her recordings as they emerge. She is a must hear.

Brilliant lyrics and an amazing voice: Amilia is outstanding.......2001-08-06

This debut CD by Amilia k Spicer grabbed my attention and held me spellbound. Maybe it was the dark lyrics, or the lush imagery, or her husky and sensual voice, or something else, a certain magic that is not so easily defined, but I loved this album. Not since Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes, has a voice and lyrics moved me so deeply and completely. Spicer is foremost a writer who sings to give another dimension to her words. But there's much more than just style and content. Every aspect of this work complements and enhances each of the elements to form a perfect symmetry. The melodies are fresh, yet familiar. The phrasing is subtle, seamless, and intense. The rhythm is visceral but not overpowering. Trying to sit motionless while this music plays, is like trying to hold back the tides. It's energy takes hold and sweeps you away with its power, yet keeps you buoyant and craving for more. Phrases like "New York sounds like a metronome", "...if you're in the game, you can scream out every word, but if you're in the cheap seats, you know you'll never be heard", and "I got what I was asking for, one more take it or leave it" are brilliant, condensed truths. Each listen is like the first, fresh and full of new meaning. Pulling this all together is Spicer's voice: gentle, hypnotic, sometimes filled with pain and irony, dreamy, always focusing your interest. Anyone who has ever been moved by such diverse performers as Diamanda Galas, Dar Williams, Heather Nova, Jane Siberry, Mary Coughlan, Milla Jovovich, Sara Craig, or Tori Amos, will find a kindred musical spirit and a unique, fresh approach. Highly recommended.

Pleasantly surprised!.......1999-12-22

Amilia has such a beautiful voice!...I was psyched after I heard this CD for it really exceded my expectations. Unlike many CD's I've bought that only have one or two good songs, I enjoyed each and every one....which is a rare event for me. Definitely a keeper.

The best album I've heard in a long time........1999-10-08

Very original and unique artist. Amilia's lyrics create very vivid images and stories for the listener. Amilia is also versatile - she is able to rock the house with the best of them and then immediately shift gears and deliver a sultry ballad. Like an Engine is definitely worth adding to your collection!
