4 out of 5 stars Charley Pride - 24 Greatest Hits .......2007-07-30

A very good country artist with a baritone voice. I think you will enjoy Charlie Pride's unique singing capabilities.

5 out of 5 stars I love him.............2007-05-12

He is one of my favorites and I think this is great.

5 out of 5 stars Charlie Pride 24 greatest hits.......2007-03-20

This was a great CD. I would recommend it to anyone. He sings all of his best hits. A great buy for the money

5 out of 5 stars A great collection of greatest hits.......2007-02-11

This is a great collection of greatest hits from Charley Pride. It has rare hits that
you can't find on his other collections like "Your so good when your bad". Even
though they are newer remakes, they actually sound very good. I was very impressed.

5 out of 5 stars All the great songs.......2007-01-11

I am not really a country music fan, but I love to listen to Charley Pride. He has such a wonderful voice and I remember all the songs on this cd. I really recommend this cd for any Charley Pride fan.

5 out of 5 stars Yes.......2003-04-03

This is a marvelous collection. There were a few pieces I wish that it would include, such as the rest of his Piano Concerto No.2, or perhaps The Rock, but the fact that the performances are generally great and the recording quality is near-perfect makes up for that.

I would recommend this to anyone who is just starting to become interested in the works of Sergei Rachmaninov.

4 out of 5 stars A decent introduction to the music of Rachmaninoff.......2001-08-12

Sergi Rachmaninoff was the last of the great Romantic composers, especially since the Romantic period had ended for European artists when he was at his height. Although a composer and a conductor, Rachmaninoff was also a virtuoso pianist, which explains why his best compositions feature the piano, either in solo work or with an orchestra. His "Prelude in C-Sharp Minor," which he wrote when he was 20, made him famous throughout the world. This collection also includes several other preludes, "Vocalise," and the famous 18th Variation (Andnate cantible) from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. My only serious complaint about this collection as an introduction to Rachmaninoff is that it only has one movement from his Second Piano Concerto and I have other CDs that include the entire work, which I thing is a good idea.

4 out of 5 stars Great Collection of "Hits".......2000-06-22

This is actually not a bad collection of Greatest Hits. Usually the problem with collections like these is that they have bad recordings and not very good performances but some of these ones are actually okay, and it features performances by Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax among others. In general these are the works of art you think of when you think of Rachmaninoff and so these pieces are a perfect representation of his style.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best CD I own.......1999-12-30

This is one of the best I own. The music is so great, hard to explain...so moving, especially the first track. It reminds me of Russia a lot. I listen to it everyday while driving to work. I highly recommend it.

For those who want the most remembered passages of classical music's best-loved works, here's a package for you. On this bargain priced double-CD, you'll find music from 40 different classical composers; for the most part, the recordings excerpted here are some of the very best. Of course, you only get one Bach sampling (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, played by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra) and one Mozart (A Little Night Music conducted by Herbert von Karajan), but this is still a nice collection--perhaps the starting point for a budding collection of classical music. This set's downfall? Unfortunately, though the liner notes discuss the evolution of classical music chronologically, the tracks are programmed in alphabetical order by composer's last name. This makes for some startling transitions! Emil Gilels's reflective performance of the Adagio from Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata is followed by the crashing cymbals and bombast of Carmen's "March of the Toreadors," a recipe for a heart attack if there ever was one. Still, there's something here for everyone and the liner notes even explain what movies this music can be found in. A nice touch. --Jason Verlinde

1 out of 5 stars Waste of money.......2006-01-12

Watch out for the volume leveling mentioned in another review. Surely the compliers could have come up with a better sort order than by composer. The change in tempo/volume between pieces makes it impossible to enjoy. My two CD's ended up in the trash.

5 out of 5 stars Great Music Compilation.......2005-08-15

This is a great CD full of many songs that you will recognize and enjoy. If you are someone who likes classical music but doesn't necessarily know which songs or which composers you like, then this CD is for you. You will likely recognize many of the songs as the classical songs you would have picked out to be your favorites.

1 out of 5 stars If you like classical music don't buy this CD........2005-03-11

Most of the tracks were chopped down to 3-4 minutes so some of the best parts of the compositions are missing. I don't know what I was thinking trying to buy 40 classical songs on two CD's. If you really want to enjoy the music you would do better to purchase a CD with fewer, but better quality tracks.

5 out of 5 stars A must for anyone wanting the staples of classical music.......2005-02-23

In my years of experience teaching Fine Arts to high school students, I know that the majority, if not all, of the music included on this album is commonly used in collge music appreciation courses. This is an excellent sample of truly all the "greatest hits" of classical music. My students enjoy listening to the music and have later told me when take their required music apreciation courses in college that they "already know it all" because of this CD! The recordings are clear, the selections are passionate, and the listener will gain a familiarity with all of the most commonly heard classical music used in tv commercials, movies, etc.
I recommend this album, along with the boxed set, "Age of the Classics" for anyone who is interested in becoming familiar with the most famous staples of classical music.

5 out of 5 stars A great compilation.......2005-02-09

This cd somes up some of the greatest pieces of instrumental (and is some cases choral) music ever written. It is a great starter for a beginning classical music lover or a quick and easy all-in-one for those of us who study classical music for a living. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who wants to love or already does love classical music.

3 out of 5 stars Thank You for Being a Friend.......2006-11-10

I purchased this CD to complete my Super Hits collection. I now have all of the CD's. Not a lot on here I like, but "Thank You for Being a Friend" is worth the purchase. Andrew Gold didn't offer a lot, but this song always results in good thoughts and memories.

4 out of 5 stars A wide sampling of late 70's top-40.......2004-03-09

OK, maybe some of these tunes are not destined to be standards thirty years from now, but this volume does cast a broad net over the singles on the top-40 charts during the later 70's. Some one-hit wonders, some teeny-bopper fluff, some more substantial musical works and a few lesser-charting follow-ups show up in this near-the-end volume in the series. And rather than being a detriment, the inclusion of other charting hits by artists who had other more popular tunes is actually a refreshing benefit. Who needs to have the same oft-repeated stuff show up for the umpteenth time on a 70's collection? But this grouping is not of slouches by any means as nearly half of the included tracks were top-10 pop charters. As with other volumes in the series, there are readable trivia for each of the included tunes and while nothing revelatory is evident, the sound quality is respectable with all tracks in stereo. Contrary to what seems the general consensus, this volume does offer collectors of the era's pop music more pluses than minuses and is definitely a worthwhile addition to the series.

3 out of 5 stars Weaker effort.......2001-07-11

"Super Hits of the '70's - Have A Nice Day Vol. 24" contains an even balance of strong and weak latter '70's Top 40 hits. The CD's strong points are well stated in the tracks "Makin' It" (David Naughton),"Save Your Kisses For Me" (Brotherhood Of Man), the unique and untimely instrumental "Feels So Good" (Chuck Mangione), the Bee Gees penned "Emotion" (Samantha Sang). The strongest of these strong points in this collection is the Andrew Gold smash "Thank You For Being A Friend" (which, of course was later re-recorded by an unknown artist and was used as the theme of the hit '80's sitcom "The Golden Girls"). Let's not forget the Elvis Presley tribute song "The King Is Gone", complete with a well-styled Presley-like vocal, courtesy of Ronnie McDowell. Unfortunately, the weaker tracks noticeably offset the stronger ones. Therefore, Rhino could have put better songs in the place of such horrendous tracks as the Eric Carmen penned "Hey Deanie" (Shaun Cassidy), "Love Fire" (Jigsaw), "Everybody Be Dancin'" (Starbuck) [with these two groups putting out much stronger previous tracks with "Sky High" and "Moonlight Feels Right", respectively, which are also contained in previous volumes in this '70's series] and perhaps the most horrendous track of all, which rears its' ugly head here with "Did You Boogie With Your Baby" (Flash Cadillac & The Continental Kids). "Vol. 24" provides adequate middle ground, as featured in the tracks "Heaven On The 7th Floor" (Paul Nicholas) and in the doo-wop styled "Street Corner Serenade" (Wet Willie). Even though "Vol. 24" is perhaps the most mediocre effort of this 25 volume CD series, you'll find that there are better volumes in this series, hands down. "Vol. 24" is recommended for completists only.

2 out of 5 stars There are better volumes.........2000-11-23

but this one isnt all that bad, it has rarities in it. "emotion" by samantha sang is one of them. She vanished after that effort (which was produced by the BeeGees) but what a hit it was. I guess if you are going to soak the money into the complete series, you need this volume.

3 out of 5 stars The worst CD in the series, but still essential.......2000-02-15

Yes, this CD is the bummer of the series of 25, but "Thank You For Being A Friend" and "Did You Boogie" pull it out of the fire and make it worth buying.

3 out of 5 stars More like Three and a Half Stars.......2006-02-05

When I think of the piano, the first composer that comes to my mind is Chopin. Chopin was a composer who excelled in small form writing for the piano. He wrote beautiful melodies with complex accompaniment that was both challenging for the performer and enlightening for the listener. Chopin did not write many multi-movement pieces and what he did write is generally not as good as his solo piano pieces anyway (this is my opinion, not a fact).
When buying recordings of Chopin's music, there are basically two options. You can either go with a "Greatest Hits" type collection, which works very well with Chopin, or you can buy collections that assemble all he wrote for a certain form (preludes, nocturnes, etudes, etc...). If you are new to Chopin, I suggest buying a "Greatest Hits" collection, though not necessarily this one, even though this is the CD in my car right now. The playing is okay but it's nothing really that special. Considering all the masterful Chopin interpreters out there, such as Rubinstein, Ashkenazy, Argerich, Pollini, and Perahia, it seems silly not to start with a pianist that you really love, since almost every great pianist has recorded works by Chopin. Having said that, this collection contains almost all my favorite works by Chopin, my only complaint being I wish it had more than one nocturne. Thus it serves as a good introduction to Chopin's music. I would recommend the Favorite Chopin collection by Ashkenazy over this collection because not only is he an amazing pianist and a masterful interpreter of Chopin, but it's two discs for the price of one.

4 out of 5 stars Good, not Great.......2002-03-02

Revolutionary Etude and many other performers are good. However, Fanastie Impromptu I've heard performed much better. Raindrop Prelude is played okay, but the song is so low in volume that I can hardly hear it. Good deal though.

5 out of 5 stars Five Stars for Chopin.......2002-01-27

What can I say! This is a wonderful collection of music. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves his music.

3 out of 5 stars Chopn's Greatest Hits.......2001-04-08

Not a good version of Les Sylphides (#17); which is only a 5 minute excerpt. Any other Les Sylphides pieces are sprinkled throughout the CD as piano.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!.......1999-08-15

Frederic Chopin is a very talented artist and composer. A must have of any Chopin collector.

I was directed to this CD from an online link is track #8 conducted by Aruther Fiedler????

5 out of 5 stars What a thrill to find this!.......2004-05-27

I have looked and looked for "The Polonaise" from "Eugene Onegin" and began to think I never would find it. It is one of my very favorites. However, sitting through that entire opera for just this one piece was a bit tiring. Although, it really was worth it to be transported for just a few minutes. I don't remember where I even got this CD, but played it and was estatic to hear "The Polonaise"! Beautiful piece, beautifully done. This is not to say that the rest of the CD is not 5 star, too. It is!
I hope you enjoy this CD as much as I.

5 out of 5 stars Pretty good album........1999-08-03

I think that these are my favorite Tchaikovsky songs, but there are much better classical albums out there, so buy others.

1 out of 5 stars WAKE UP AMERICA.......2006-05-21

Reissues of Connie Francis hits are becoming a way of life but please, this is not a reissue of her original hits--it is her Malaco recordings from 1989 of WHERE THE HITS ARE. This too has been reissued to death. There is no end of great Connie Francis material to be released. Amercia look at Japan and South Africa for example. This is as bad as Bush trying to cover up phone tapping. But as I have said before, any Connie Francis product is better than none. How about being a little more original in the future. Take a chance! Her "Souvenirs" and "Italian Collections" were a bold step for this country and the results were fantastic. They're still in print. So Polydor/Universal get your feet wet, the water isn't that cold. You might be very surprised. We're waiting.

4 out of 5 stars Maybe the Best You Can Do.......2004-12-28

It's almost axiomatic; if you find all of the HITS on one compilation, they will be re-records. Odd that there is no shortage of compilations by Connie Francis WITHOUT her known hits but rather songs that show a different side of her. This is a worthy effort though and I still enjoy my favorites, "A Second Hand Love" and "Together". Until something better comes along (don't hold your breath), I'm recommending this package. If you remember her many hits, you'll have to be happy with this came-close package for now.

5 out of 5 stars A MUST FOR CONNIE FRANCIS FANS.......2004-08-22

WHERE THE BOYS ARE WOULD OF BEEN WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION ALONE.

1. Who's Sorry Now
2. Frankie
3. Among my Souvenirs
4. Are you Lonesome Tonight
5. Misty Blue
6. Torn between two lovers

4 out of 5 stars Connie Is Always the Best.......2003-06-07

Connie has been in music business since she was 3 yrs old and is still terrific. Her incomparable voice quality never fades. Her No. 1 hit Where the Boys Are is sung with precision notes her voice can sharply produce. Many of her songs are best-seller and many are on this album. However, there are some lesser known hits like The Wedding Cake, Someone Else's Boy or It Happened Last Night sold like pan cakes when they were released decades ago. This album is a must for Connie's fans. And also, they should go for the numbers mentioned.

5 out of 5 stars So much more than mindless muzak!! Xavier, I yi yi yi yi I like you very much !!!.......2007-05-07

Xavier Cugat and his Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra performed so wonderfully you could swear you were in heaven. This CD boasts a marvelous collection of their recordings made between 1935 and 1946; we get a fantastic assortment of rumbas, tangos, congas and more! Dinah Shore and Bing Crosby also lend their fantastic vocal abilities to several of the tracks on this disc.

The CD opens with the classic number "The Lady In Red;" the band makes great use of the percussion, horns and piano as it often did in Cugat's Orchestra. Don Reid & Chorus do a great job with the vocals, too. "The Lady In Red" is chock full of energy and whets your appetite for more. "Jalousie (Jealousy)" follows; this tango opens with a dramatic flourish by the horns and harp and "Jalousie (Jealousy)" generates a whopping amount of energy, too. You'll want to dance to this number for sure!

Other great numbers by Cugat and his Orchestra include the classic "Cielito Lindo" with a particularly upbeat, faster than usual beat and vocals by Chacha Aguilar and Carmen Castillo. Awesome! "La Paloma (The Dove)" also shines as the orchestra plays this so well. "Perfidia (Tonight)" scores another coup for Xavier Cugat and his Orchestra, too.

But there's more. This CD features Dinah Shore with some of her earliest recordings; she sings along with the orchestra as they play the bolero tune "Yours (Quiéreme Mucho);" "La Cumparsita;" "Jungle Drums" and "The Breeze And I." Great! Dinah's voice is in excellent form on these numbers.

Bing Crosby also lends his talent on several tracks including "Siboney" and the wonderful "Baía" which is a slow, romantic samba.

The CD ends with "South America, Take It Away;" I believe that Bing Crosby is featured on this track even though he is not credited as doing the vocals. The chorus does a great job, too. The song has a big band flavor that was so popular in the 1940s.

The liner notes give you an essay about Cugat and his Orchestra by Peter Dempsey; and the songs credits are there, too. The art work is very good.

The quality of the sound is very good considering the age of these recordings. These are the original mono recordings, so please keep in mind that there will be some surface noise but it won't detract from the quality of the sound too much.

Overall, I highly recommend this for fans of Latin music from the 1930s and 1940s; and Cugat fans will consider this CD to be a "must-have" for their collections. The music is romantic and it also provides us with hours upon hours of easy listening music enjoyment.

¡Olé!

Great selections, great sound; hard to believe these weren't original stereo recordings.

Buy!

5 out of 5 stars Excellente!.......2002-07-02

Just got this today and it's exactly what I hoped for! The other reviewers were on the mark! The earlier Cugat orchestration and arrangements are so lovely and evocative. I'm a sucker for the sound of old recordings--these are from the 30's--they just had a warmth that is lost as recording equipment improved. But I still must get something with Besame Mucho . . .

5 out of 5 stars HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU, KID.......2000-12-23

This compilation of Cugat recordings from 1935-1946 is one of the "sexiest" CD'S my collection. If you're a fan of many Hollywood films of that period these arrangements will send chills up your spine. Close your eyes and you're sitting at the Waldorf Bar in white tie with Bogie or George Raft; or you're an OSS agent sitting in a South American cabaret with Andrea King keeping one eye on Conrad Veidt and the other on Akim Tamiroff. The tunes are familiar and haunting. You may not remember the titles but you'll recognize the music of that genre.Several vocals by Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore add to your listening delight. The slow samba "BAIA" is an elixir with greater power than Viagra. The other rumbas, congas and tangos are superb; Cugat's distinctive rhythmic arrangements cast a hypnotic spell on the listener. Buy this album!

5 out of 5 stars Great music from an era gone by...........2000-08-20

While on a Desi Arnez binge, I bought this CD not really knowing what to expect. I had read the book on Cugat by his ex-wife, and was curious as to his music. And what music it is. I've had this CD in my car's changer for two weeks now, and I'm listening to it more than the other five CD's combined. The music is superb, the perfect antidote to a long day at work. There's quite a variety of tunes, and the rhythm section has to be heard to be believed. And this is music that's a half century old! However, a warning to the guys: Listening to this CD may make you want to don tux-n-tails, order a Martini or Manhattan, and then let your feet fly across the dance floor with your Lady Love!

    5 out of 5 stars Music that stays in your heart and mind.......2005-08-26

    I really enjoy listening to this album. I love music composed during the Romantic Era (Composers such as Chopin, Rachmaninov, Borodin etc...) However, I may not like all of Borodin's works but this album is just perfect. It has the best of those composers. Good music to listen to when you're away on a vacation/retreat to just get away from the busyness of life.
