GREAT EPIC FILM MUSIC.......2007-04-11

ROZSA'S MUSIC THRILLED ME AS A CHILD AND IT STILL DOES NOW. A MUST FOR ANY LOVER OF FILM SCORES.

Rozsa's Best Work.......2007-01-11

Miklos Rozsa composed some impressive scores. These are among his best. These recordings and selections are outstanding. Mother's Love from BEN-HUR is very emotional. The Spellbound: Concerto is also included.

A good start for those who are getting acquainted with Rozsa.......2004-06-15

This CD contains some of Miklos Rozsa's finest film scores, but the pieces are abbrieviated (some of them are only up to 5 minutes in length). Nevertheless, they are still good. My biggest problem with the album was there was not enough pieces from QUO VADIS (my personal favorite). Other than that, the CD is a fine start for those of us (like me) who are getting acquianted with this excellent composer.

Customer Reviews:

Great Cd.......2007-01-23

Here is a great collection of songs from a excellent hard rocking band.
This is a collection of their hits and alot more.
Starts off with Pictures of Matchstick men right up to the more modern version of Status Quo.
Those earlier tunes here were excellent,and they realy had a style and sound of their own.
You can hear the changes musicly they went through with this compillation of songs.

Finally...FINALLY!.......2000-07-18

The radio stations in the US only play "Pictures of Matchstick Men." That song had me curious enough years ago to read the article in my Harmony Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock about Status Quo. There I saw that "Down Down" was a number 1 tune in England, and I had never, ever heard it! Couldn't convince the dj to play it, either. So, after years of wondering, I took a chance and bought this anthology with everything on it.

For those others who are curious, but have no clue, just like me before cracking this baby open: The album reminds me of Thorogood's greatest hits, and the J. Geils Anthology: Song after song of boogie and blues, all in the exact same style. Sound-wise, the album graduates from "classic rock" sounding to somewhat electronic and progressive. Add a mix of "poshness" and over-production to the later tunes, and you're there. Honestly, the common driving beat became a little incessant after 2/3 of the first CD. (There are a LOT of tunes here, 41 in all, keep in mind.) Non-stop. Love it. Hate it. But you can take a long trip, and play this collection as traveling music, and not get bored anywhere along the line. While at home, you'll be selective and play the top rated tunes. Aside from so much great traveling music, I feel like I've bought a giant slice of England's landscape. I hear all these top rated tunes that have escaped America's radio. I had to do it to "figure it out." Glad I did.

A Must for Staus Quo fans!.......2000-05-13

Two cd's and 41 tracks cover the career of enduring rock legends Status Quo.I't's interesting to hear their sound develop from the bubble-gum 1968 hit "Pictures of Matchstick Men".Presented in chronological order,classics like "Down Down","Caroline","Rocking All Over The World","Paper Plane",and "Whatever You Want" still sound great.Francis Rossi & Rick Parfitt and co. have sold over 120 million records and notched up 55 British hit singles to date,a record in UK chart history.Also included are their most recent hits thru 1996.A MUST for committed Quo fans,and a great choice for the casual fan as well.

This is an absolute peach.......1999-09-14

rossi at his best...all their best song

electricial music and bogie that's awesome!.......1998-07-27

I first heard Status Quo in 1973. Was immediately turned on by their sound. Having many many records and tapes of their music, I was delighted to finally find amazon.com & their music selection. I tried for over 20 years to get some of their music on cd but never could. This cd imcompuses all of those recordings I had & more. The songs I never heard before are just super. This cd has a powerful beat that doesn't quit. The guitar work is exceptional & the drummer never misses a beat.

Selections from the Greatest Voice of the Last Hundred Years.......2007-03-13

Mario Lanza was, arguably, the greatest tenor and greatest singer of this and the last century. It is difficult to appreciate him without listening to a variety of selections. This collection has some of his best recordings and exhibits the versatility and variety that he possessed that permitted him to "crossover" from opera to popular music with a ease.

I recommend this for those who already know Lanza to some extent but want to go into more depth and understand his marvelous skills.

A Must Have .......2006-12-12

I had forgotten what a beautiful voice Mario Lanza had. This collection contains opera and pop selections that exhibit the power yet sweetness of his voice. Fortunately, we have his CD's and videos so we can remember and listen to his gorgeous, vibrant voice and personality. I highly recommend this collection along with his wonderful movies, especially The Great Caruso.

The Mario Lanza Collection.......2006-11-10

I had forgotten just how beautiful a voice from the past was. It is a wonderful collection

The MARIO LANZA Collection.......2006-08-19

extract from most important LPs. Brilliant sound quality from RCA. Also included are soundtrack recordings from some of his movies. The are several reissues from Mario Lanza but this one is a collection you should have.

WONDERFUL!!!!!.......2005-10-19

The Mario Lanza Collection is a three CD set and it has 61 songs and they all sound great. The mastering on this set is excellent and the song choice is very very good. It would have been perfect if they added a forth CD with more Arias, Italian songs and Sacred Arias. BUT still this set is a great introduction to Lanza. Lanza's voice was powerful and beautiful; if you are a fan of great singing, you will love Lanza. Highlights on this CD set are; Be my Love, Because your Mine, Serenade, With a Song in My Heart, Temptation, The Lord's Prayer, Ciribirbin, O Solo Mio, Ariverducci Roma, and on and on. They are many many great songs on this set, and I highly recommend it.

Don't judge this splendid disc by its silly title. Jean-Yves Thibaudet has put together an imaginatively programmed and gorgeously played Erik Satie recital that is certain to acquire reference status alongside the classic Satie recordings by Aldo Ciccolini, his one-time mentor. The difference lies in Decca's far superior sonics, and Thibaudet's warmer, more robust piano sonority. He imbues the music with subtle dynamic gradations and varied articulations that keep Satie's sparse textures vibrant and fresh, without any of the posturing and willfully slow tempi favored by several Satie specialists. Thibaudet cleverly separates the three famous Gymnopédies and intersperses them between brooding works like the Gnossiennes, upbeat, dry-witted selections ("Jack in the Box" and "La Belle Excentrique," along with some fascinating world premieres). And it's refreshing to hear the cabaret song "Je Te Veux" so seamlessly phrased, as if vocal chords had temporarily replaced the piano's hammers. Simply a joy. --Jed Distler

Customer Reviews:

Great take on Satie.......2007-01-05

I spent a lot of time listening to sound clips to decide which Satie CD to buy. Some of the other ones I listened to had too much background noise or were too mechanical. I love the eb and flow that Thibaudet adds to the piano music. It is gorgeous!

I may be too harsh but this was a disappointment.......2005-08-30

I purchased this CD to replace a favorite tape that had worn out of nearly the same collection of Satie pieces. The music is great but Thibaudet plays it without the upbeat enthusiasm that makes the music magic. Sorry, Thibaudet.

Quite... simply...a joy!.......2003-01-09

Extraordinary, eloquent, intimate and impassioned performances. Each time I listen, I get taken deeper into Satie, yes, but also into *music* itself. Satie's music is really meant for the performer (note his comments on the score), intimately.

I also think Satie used it as map & vehicle rather than as destination. (I used to refer to - and prefer - Aldo Ciccolini while reading the score. Thibaudet has provided a whole new landscape to fit the map.)

Although Satie said his music should be performed "so that no-one listens to it," I think he was actually trying to get to us in the same way that admonishing someone to not think about elephants has the opposite effect.

Thibaudet's interpretations are a joy to listen to, to pay attention to. (And I thought I knew Satie...!) Whether taken as seriously as a mating dance, or as playful as one, there is a profound sense of intimacy here.

If your impression of Satie is that he wrote "furniture music" long before Muzak - sounds to provide a background while you eat or chat or have drinks, or shop at Nordstroms - then this recording may reawaken you. Thiba breathes new life into Satie, new levels: it seems to take one into deeper realms of consciousness, toward thoughtless contemplation.

(And I learned that "'Gnossienne' refers to the 'Crane Dance' performed in the labyrinth of the palace of Knossos [Gnossos] in ancient Crete." ...Now, is that provocative?)

Maybe the best..........2002-12-25

This album offers both first time recordings and a high quality, warm sound that may help you to feel Satie's free-from-tricks music. As it says in the booklet, you don't need to be a virtuoso to play Satie but you have to understand the certian state of mind. The Magic of Satie is probably the best choice for both old and new Satie listeners.

A new standard for Satie.......2002-12-25

Like many others, I discovered the music of Satie upon hearing the recordings of Aldo Ciccolini. As mentioned by Distler above, Thibaudet studied with Ciccolini although they apparently never worked on Satie's music together. No matter. This is a wonderfully recorded and played selection of Satie's music. Satie's music is unique- he is one of those musicians who seemed determined to not sound like anybody else. At least, that I know of. In spite of that, he is one of the most accessible of modern composers because of his melodicism.
I have listened to many performers play some of these pieces and Thibaudet is the best I have heard since Ciccolini. The only thing that keeps me from recommending this CD without reservation is that Thibaudet plans to release a box set in the near future that will contain all of Satie's piano music. If you are an obsessed completist like myself that is something to really look forward to.

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!

"Epics featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra ~ 60 years of film scores".......2005-09-07

When I think of the "Golden Age of Hollywood", many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "EPICS:THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HOLLYWOOD", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades right and up to the present 2005.

There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classics that even the youngsters today recognize...sweeping scores that capture the drama, mystery, adventure, action and romance...one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this...many nominated and winners by the Academy for Best Original Score...

Silva Screen Classics as usual, has put quality into this 4-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come...this collection is aimed directly at the "Serious Film Score" music fans and collectors...Silva is as always, perfect in every way...just the way we like 'em!

Great Live CD By England's Biggest Hitmakers.......2006-12-23

LIVE is a great album by Status Quo, a British hard rock band who've racked up more hit singles than the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. The second disc contains most of the best songs, but the first disc has its moments, too. The fact that band leaders Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt believe that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since 2005 for drug smuggling was wrongfully convicted makes LIVE an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

PLAY THIS LOUD AS POSSIBLE.......2006-10-09

I've been into hard rock and bluesy rock for 38 yrs. I'm 53 now and have survived over 200 live concerts. This live concert is the kinda music that people like me live for. Beg, borrow or steal for the money to buy this double CD, you will be glad you did. It is the kinda CD that will make you go out and buy a new stereo.

One of the best live albums I've ever heard.......2006-08-26

First of all, being from the USA, there is next to nothing available here from Status Quo, except for some imports in specialist independent CD shops, and even those are few and far between. Thankfully, Amazon has everything in print from Europe, so I was able to purchase this and "Gold," which is a best of 2-CD set. I love that CD, too. I've been a fan since the 1970s after I bought a 45 of "Down Down" by mistake (I somehow picked it up instead of another record) and always wondered why I never heard this band on the radio (most Americans have never heard of Status Quo; their only big hit here was "Pictures of Matchstick Men"). Anyway, I had the original US copy of this album on Capitol records (with different artwork and fewer songs from what I remember), and the sound on this 2-cd set is superior. I recommend this album to any fan of Status Quo, or 70's hard rock and boogie rock in general.

An overlooked but tremendous live release!.......2005-07-07

If you have fond memories of being up front at concerts by the likes of Humble Pie, Black Oak Arkansas, Rory Gallagher, Foghat, the Faces, BTO, Thin Lizzy, Skynyrd, etc...then you'll love this one from the Quo. It's been remastered, the sound quality is outstanding, the tracks are in the right running order, and the bottom line is that it's good enough to make you wish you were there at the Apollo in Glasgow the night they recorded it!

I first bought this on vinyl when it originally came out and I still think that one of the best things about Quo was that they did a decidedly better job than most bands of that era at knowing when to take a full on rocker of a song and throttle it back just long enough to make you sit up and listen closer...just in time for them to slam right back into the rocking!

For me, the first disc of this set is worth the price of admission alone - I love every last glorious second of "Forty-Five Hundred Times"!. The second disc tends to get a mite repetitive before it's all over, but that's a very small quibble.

Heretical or not, this tends to find its way into my changer more often than even Skynyrd's "One More From The Road".

Buy it, turn it up, it'll make you smile!

WOW!!! STUNNING!!!.......2005-07-06

One of the truly great live albums, by a fantastic live group at its peak. It's most unfortunate that most of North America never really tuned in to Status Quo, to see why they are SO BIG in Britain, Europe and the rest of the world. Released in early 1977, it mostly features tracks from their two best albums, "Hello" and "Quo" from 1973 and 1974 respectively, although they do dip back to earlier albums like "Piledriver", and even 1970's "Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon". Highlights? The entire 2-disc set is one complete highlight! Much harder rocking than on the original albums, especially from Roll Over Lay Down through Backwater to Just Take Me on to 4500 Times! The finale of Roadhouse Blues followed by the encores of Caroline and Bye Bye Johnny are stunning.For those only familiar with the late 60's psychedelic sound of Pictures of Matchstick Men, be prepared to have your socks rocked off!! Play it LOUD!!

Status Quo's First Great Album.......2006-03-09

PILEDRIVER was Status Quo's first great album. Freed from a creatively stifling recording contract with Pye, the Quo gave up pop for a hard-driving blues-boogie sound that really rocked as few others could. This album proved that the band could have hit singles without really trying to, as "Paper Plane" went Top 5 in the UK. The band members' belief that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since last spring on drug-smuggling charges was unjustly convicted makes this CD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

Film score fans will enjoy this.......2007-07-07

You probably know if you'll enjoy this before buying it since you've probably heard these selections before or heard short suites of the films on other Rozsa CDs. If none of that applies, this new 2-CD set constitutes about 40 minutes' music each from a pair of religious epics, "Quo Vadis" (1950) and "Ben Hur" (1957), with the composer conducting all the music that accompanied the films.

There are 12 selections from each film score; the music from each film is alloted one CD. Considering they could have gotten the entire thing onto one SACD or, by marginally increasing the speed of the recordings, onto one standard CD, this becomes something of an expensive proposition for barely more than 80 minutes of music.

Still, it is the original scores for the two movies, making these definitive recordings. Dutton Laboratories took the original London Phase 4 tapes and remastered them for these CDs. I did not notice much difference in terms of fidelity from the selections of "Ben Hur" and "Quo Vadis" I heard on Angel's "Film Scores of Miklos Rozsa" CD. The main advantage is completion, meaning the vocal scores with wordless choruses are also included.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus and the National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus do the playing and singing. Alan Hamer of the Miklos Rozsa Society gives you five pages of notes on the production, Rozsa, and the scores. They give newcomers information about why this composer wrote such wonderful film scores during the golden age of religious epics on the big screen. The back page also includes a visual advertisement for other film scores available from Vocalion. All in all, fans of Rozsa won't be disappointed.

It's called the ultimate collection for a reason. The song selection is near perfect. The 32 bit mastering is simply amazing and has to be heard and the bonus disc is a true bonus.
