Great music.......2007-04-05

The pipes, like a few other things, are something you either love or hate. If you are not a Scot, they may sound like someone is scalding cats. If you are Scot, or even partly so, they will make your blood boil. This album certanily does that. It has a mix of traditional and more upbeat music. The traditional "Amazing Grace" is fantastic and the last selection is an upbeat Caribbean rendition that is great.

Not just pipes.......2007-02-12

I purchased this CD looking for bagpipe tracks to listen to. The recording of Amazing Grace is flawless, and inspiring. However - much of this CD is the entire band playing more modern music (of course this album was recorded in the 70's). The pipe playing is excellent, but this is not really a bagpipe CD.

Finally Found It!!.......2005-08-03

I have been searching for a CD of this recording for ages! In 1971, when it was originally released, I was 10 years old and couldn't appreciate the album that my brother played endlessly. As I got older I started to miss it. I found a cassette copy several years ago, but am afraid to use it anymore for fear of it breaking. My brother told me he had found a copy of the CD at his local Borders, and since I don't have one in my neighborhood I checked good old Amazon!! I have just ordered and I am looking forward to receiving it. I'm not a music critic, but after hearing many pipe and drum recordings, this has got to be the best I've ever heard.

A thousand horse cavalry charge!.......2005-06-11

I judge bagpipes by Scotland the Brave. This is magnificant; like a thousand horse cavalry charge. The only problem is that, at 45 seconds, it is too short.

It would have been far better if it had been played once on pipes alone and then again with the brass dropped in behind the pipes. A thousand highlanders screaming across the battlefield, followed by the thousand horse cavalry charge. Just thinking about it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand and my blood pressure go through the roof.

This album is magnificent, but it could have been awesome.

Updated Amazing Grace.......2003-05-09

Having reviewed the original "Amazing Grace" recording by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards from 1971 it seems that Amazon.com now offers a series of recordings that the bands released in the late 70 and 1980s under the same title. The first half of this CD contains tracks from a 1976 release of the bands entitled "The Lengendary Amazing Grace" In addition to a fine updated version of the now famous tune four years after its original world wide hit, this part of the CD contains some interesting selections for band and pipes. "Una Palma Blanca" is a true example of how the RSDG bands went to great lengths to explore the full combined sound. The regimental band supports the pipes with a variety of modern sounds including an electronic bass guitar which many military bands in fact use for concert purposes today providing as it does a useful Continuo bass line for a military band. "Theme in Glory" and "Turn on the Sun" are additional examples of just how good the RSDG bands had mastered the concept of combing their resources. These are truly exciting pieces to listen too. The regimental band shows its stuff with "Rockout" an arrangement of classic old rock music themes. The pipes and drums provide three medleys and are simply surperb. One can hear that a distinctive change had taken place in the ensemble sound of the pipe band since 1971. The RSDG drummers have incorporated the use of their tenor drums to creat an amazing drummers' accompaniment to the pipes. This innovation would become standard in the piping world, but it owes its origins largely to the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards pipes and drums. Listen to how magificent the pipe band sounds when they first enter to the 6/8 medley starting with "Macneils of Ugdale". You won't find a better sound even today. The Retreat medley starting with "Lochanside" is also amazing. Its worth getting the CD just for those tracks as well as the others. Perhaps the most haunting combined tune is an arrangment of Handel's "Largo" with the solo pipes doubling for the voice parts. Truly beautiful and moving.

The second part of the CD contains recordings of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards from the later 1970s. The listener will note that there is a subtle, but different recorded sound to the bands. They don't come across quite as clear as in the first 12 tracks on the CD. Again, there is the same rich selection of music with imaginative arrangements and unusual sounds. The regimental band gets highlighted more in these remaining tracks and the same versatility is still there. The "Slave Chorus" from Verdi's "Nabucco Opera" gets an interesting modern treatment. "Moonliner Rock March" is another great arrangement of rock tunes that gets the special Royal Scots Dragoon Guards touch. The pipes and drums are back with several combined medley's as well as two solo displays. The drummers show their stuff in "Drummer's Salute" displaying their modern percussion techniques that are still inspiring today for the pipe band world. All in all a worthy continuation of the "Amazing Grace" tradition that was started in 1971 and carred on since then. It's good to see that some of the many recordings the bands made through the years are now on CD. Enjoy the unique sound of the bands of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards who did a lot to popularize Scottish and military band music in general around the world. Truly a legend of "Amazing Grace"

Forgive the cheesy title, but a star is re-born once again........2007-07-09

In 1954, Judy Garland gave the most acclaimed performance of her career as a musical movie star in George Cukor's musical remake of the 1937 straight-up drama A Star Is Born. After its premiere, the film was heavily edited and would not be seen in its near complete form again for nearly thirty years. Judy was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance, but lost to Grace Kelly, to the chagrin of many Garland fans to this day, as well as many celebrities of the day. (Groucho Mark famously called it the biggest robbery since Brinks.)

In all that mess, the soundtrack was released by Columbia on vinyl record in mono and has since never been out of print and was a best-seller for years. In 1988, Columbia took the musical numbers and the overture directly from the film's stereo soundtrack (As, sadly, stereo soundtrack masters no longer existed.) and released those onto CD. The sound quality was somewhat horrendous, but digital audio was still in its infancy and not much else could be done.

In 2004, for the film's 50th anniversary, Columbia, Legacy, and Sony Music Soundtrax released this incredible new expanded remastered CD reissue of the film's soundtrack. This is the most complete soundtrack you can find and it's definitely worth upgrading from your 1988 CD release.

This CD contains not only all of the songs, including an extended intro to The Man That Got Away which was shortened in the film as well as the complete intro to Gotta Have Me Go With You, but also contains a near complete release of the instrumental score, which includes whole tracks and parts of tracks that were not used in the film, as well as an alternate vocal take of It's A New World, the deleted When My Sugar Walks Down The Street segment from Born In A Trunk, and a static-y complete version of The Trinidad Coconut Oil Shampoo Commercial, which was taken from a worn acetate playback disc - the only complete recording in existence.

The soundtrack is taken from a mixing and matching of several elements, such as acetate playback discs, the original Columbia mono soundtrack album masters, and the film's 4-track stereo soundtrack, among others. This means that the soundtrack goes back and forth from being stereo and mono. However, this does not detract from my listening experience any, and frankly, I can't tell much of a difference. One interesting note is that Gotta Have Me Go With You uses both the film's soundtrack and the mono soundtrack album masters to create a faithful listening experience, from the mono instrumental intro to the song itself, which except for a short portion, is taken from the film's 4-channel soundtrack. (The mono portion of the vocal part was used to edit out some plot-related screams that were present in the 1988 release. This method of retaining the aural integrity of Gotta Have Me Go With You was also used when it was included on the Rhino Records compilation Judy Garland In Hollywood: Her Greatest Movie Hits.)

Despite the fact that this soundtrack is taken from several different surviving elements and sadly not from a single set of elements, as Warner Bros. didn't have the foresight to save everything like MGM and Disney did, this is an excellent presentation of this landmark soundtrack. The sound quality for the most part is excellent, and the liner notes are also wonderful. Garland historian John Fricke writes a small essay on the production of the film and an annotated guide to the soundtrack, which gives a synopsis of the plot and also indicates where the tracks from the CD appear in the film. Producer Didier C. Deutsch also writes a small essay on the creation of this CD release, giving notes on the elements and some specific tracks.

Amazon is offering this soundtrack at an excellent price, and I have to say, it's a bargain for a soundtrack of this caliber and sound quality. Any Garland fan or movie soundtrack fan should have this in their collection.

A Star Is Born Soundtrack Review.......2007-01-10

A really excellent soundtrack to go with an excellent movie. This is some of Judy Garland's best material in both music and acting. The power of her voice on "The Man That Got Away" is amazing. "Born In A Trunk", "It's A New World", "Someone At Last" and "Lose That Long Face" are other recommended tracks. This is a MUST HAVE for all you Judy Garland fans.

Judy at her peak!.......2006-05-30

Judy Garland's finest film work was "A Star Is Born." Because she and her husband, Sid Luft, were also the producers, it was the most intensely involving production she had ever undertaken. The laser focus of her brilliant talent was never before realized on film to this degree. Also, she had gained tremendous personal confidence due to the unprecedented audience response to the concerts she had done between her MGM films and ASIB. The love with which the live audience embraced her, brought new heights to her acting as well.
The production values of the film were top of the line and it shows on this fine CD. It's a chance to experience Judy's talent on a more intimate basis without the visuals.
A must-have for every serious Garland collector.

a "Star" shines like never before..........2005-04-27

This reissued remaster of A STAR IS BORN is a must-own for fans of the movie, and in particular those who were somewhat dissatified by the previous CD edition (CK 44389). That edition was great for offering us most of the main numbers in stereo/mono mix but was marred by poor analogue distortion and other remastering problems (though this was the best that could have been done at the time). This new edition (CK 65965) presents the entire score, including background and incidental sections as well as the cut material, in a sparkling new package.

The big bonus for getting this latest edition is for Garland's complete rendition of "The Trinidad Coconut Oil Shampoo Commercial" (without the dialogue of James Mason). This has been taken from a rare acetate master, so while the sound quality is not the best, having the number complete without interrupting dialogue is a more than ample compensation. You will notice too that "Lose That Long Face" has been newly mastered from a better stereo source (cutting out the thunder-crashes that were heard on the first CD master, and Garland's singing no longer has those violent analogue fluctuations during the introduction). "Gotta Have Me Go with You" is now presented without the screams and noises, in a new master from the mono soundtrack.

"When My Baby Walks Down the Street", a section cut from the "Born in a Trunk" sequence, has been added as a bonus track. This sparkling-new STAR IS BORN reissue is a great tribute to what is most definitely Judy Garland's greatest hour on film.

Musical perfection of the highest magnitude!!!.......2005-02-25

Was there ever a more perfect voice than the one possessed by Judy Garland? Powerful yet gentle. Dynamic yet restrained. Bone-chilling yet soothing. She had the pipes!

And her instrument was showcased at its best in the music from her triumphant "A Star is Born".

This expanded version is a bona-fide treasure with the highlight being Garland's earth-shattering "The Man That Got Away," presented with vocals and several instrumental versions. Along with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and "The Trolley Song", "The Man That Got Away" is an essential for Garland fans, as well as those that know a good song when they hear it.

The fifteen-minute medley that was featured in the film as the "introduction" of "Vicki" to the public is another outstanding track, featuring "Born in a Trunk", "Suwanee," and "My Melancholy Baby," all exquisitely performed by the legendary talent.

Clocking in at just under eighty minutes, the soundtrack to the classic film is, indeed, in a class by itself, and deserving of repeated listening, maintaining its "freshness" after more than five decades.

Beyond all description..........2006-09-19

As a boy, I heard so many hyperbolic references to the legendary Enrico Caruso that I chose to purchase a remastered copy of his "Greatest Hits" when I first began to acquire recordings as a young man. Soon after, I discovered Pavarotti and my life was changed by his music. Caruso ended up in the Goodwill Store. I am convinced that in 500 years, should the earth cool again and the Muslim hoards abate, the civilized world will still tell tales of the greatest tenor. I have often found myself grumpy when searching for recordings of Pavarotti because of the inconsistent fidelity of the recordings. That search for the definitive Pavarotti recordings, regarding both content and fidelity, has ended with the release of this extraordinary collection. Worth it's weight in gold, the Puccinni Volume (#5) alone is enough to send someone like me into hyperspace. I am astounded by the beauty and power of these performances. I will always remember the day, not long ago, when a NPR commentator glibly mentioned between the weather and the night's playlist the terrible words, "Luciano Pavarotti has announced that he is retiring from Opera." I felt as if something indescribably beautiful was fading from the world. Of course, beauty in all of its earthly forms is fleeting at best, but these discs contain a reflection of it that will surely bolster any soul.

An Absolute Must-Have for Any Pavarotti Fan.......2004-01-09

...and that certainly goes without saying. My one tiny little problem with it is that his recordings of "Santa Lucia" and "Caruso" are not on this incredible box-set. Even though I have those recordings on other CDs, I still think those are very important pieces to include on this set (assuming that this set of Pavi hits would be the only compilation that that any fan of this phenomenal tenor would have). He is probably my biggest idol, and he deserves to have been one of the biggest opera stars in history.

Wonderful!!!!.......2002-11-07

This Pavarotti set; The Pavarotti Edition; is a wonderful collection of Arias and songs that cover Luciano's great career. Pavarotti is THE Voice of the 20th Century and this set does him justice. It includes 10 CDs with over 750 minutes of music; Includes Music from All of His roles; has a beautiful 76 page full color booklet; Has a wonderful write up; and includes a bonus CD of Pavarotti's fist album, a 45, from 1964, which has never been released on CD before this set. Every Song is hear, This SET is a must have for every Pavarotti Fan.

Surprisingly good.......2005-09-22

I am a die-hard "Original-Cast-only" person. So when I was given this as a birthday present (a month late) I was kind of skeptical. Yes, it has a wonderful score by Andrew Lloyd webber, and yes the Orlando Pops Orchestra is said to be really good, but it was a studio cast (a term that generally turns me off from asn album). I started listening to this expecting a horrid Eva, off-tempo music, and unrecognisable lyrics.

I was so wrong.

This is actually a surprisingly good Evita recording. Gail Bartell (Eva) does a very good job of portraying a determined Eva, but some songs could be better. Her voice tends to go slightly off at times, but she is mostly an applause-worthy performer (though her voice does not have the Broadway flair Patti LuPonne of the Premiere American Recording). David Chernauld makes an excellent Che, hitting all the right notes on all the right pitches. Unlike a studio Che I once heard, he is not nasally nor does he sing rather high parts down. Sadly, I must say I was unimpressed with Alan W. Bruun as Peron. Yes, he can sing, but he completely butchers the end of "Charity Concert" (Odd that they didn't call it by the actual song name "I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You") and is weak throughout the rest of the CD. Peron should be an inwardly, but not vocally, weak man. The backup ensemble also pleases and I applaud them for being able to do a show like this (even if just a recording) with a cast of eight. It still retains the full ensemble sound that the other albums have, which is wonderful.

The orchestrations are also very well done and I have no complaints towards those. The Orlando Pops Orchestra did a wonderful job, and I will probably buy another of their recordings just for thier excellent sound.

My only qualms with the overall album is the use of "Don't Cry For me Argentina" twice. Was it so hard for them to record something from the opening Requiem? "Oh What a Circus" would have been much better, or at least the opening mourners. Also, at the end of "Balcony-Casa Rosada" the crowd vocals are more annoying than powerful. Not to say they sing it wring, it's jst that that particular moment loses its effectiveness without Eva's speech. They should have just let Bartel record the speech or cut the part. I was also a bit taken aback by the cover art, but I now a see an interesting approach to showing the true nature of the show. The graffiti and ripped poster work very well at showing a post-Peronist Argentina.

in all, I was pleased with this recording. I'm still more partial to the Premiere American Recording with Patti LuPonne, but this CD makes a nice addition to any Evita fan's collection.

Surprisingly Good Rendition.......2005-04-09

I bought this cd on a whim because it was on super sale, but little did I know that it would prove to be a wonderful addition to my musical theatre collection.

The orchestrations are exquisite and Gail Bartell is a strong Evita. She has both the powerful voice for the mid ranged belting, strong mix for the higher parts in "Buenos Aires" "A New Argentina" and "Rainbow High" and a delicate soprano for "Don't Cry For Me Argentina." She does very well with the belting/mixing of "A New Argentina."
A personal favorite is their rendition of "Waltz for Eva and Che sung by Bartell and David Chenault as Che.

Sure Bartell and Chenualt don't top LuPone and Patinkin's vocal flair, but they fare very well with the material none the less.

Perhaps I should start by admitting a bias: Many years ago, lying on Boston's grassy Esplanade by the Charles River on warm summer nights, I learned what a symphony orchestra should sound like, with Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra. Those concerts were free; these seven compact discs are not--not quite. But for any lover of light classical music, they are certainly one of the best buys available. The orchestra (essentially the Boston Symphony) is one of the world's greatest; the music, from Smoke Gets in Your Eyes to the Goyescas Intermezzo and Ride of the Valkyries is instantly enjoyable and permanently valuable; the conductor is at the same time genial and exacting, convinced that any music you play, no matter how frivolous, deserves the best you can give it. --Joe McLellan

Absolute brilliance by an young GENIUS!.......2004-10-14

I play this set about once a week and, every time, I am filled with awe at what the 11-year-old genius could do! The oeverture is sheer delight and the arias already show promise of the operas, and even instrumental music, that was yet to come of Mozart's short but prolific career. The arias are liberally peppered with Mozart's 'signature' bars; the melody from one of the duets would later appear in his Symphony in F. Unfortunately, since Philips label has discontinued publication of the 'Complete Mozart Edition', this set is hard to find or is being sold at premium price but this operetta is well worth any price.

Mixed Bag.......2005-08-19

The concept sounded good, but the end result is a rather big letdown. I am a big fan of Richard Hayman (former arranger for the Boston Pops) and expected this CD to be something special, but it's hit or miss. The Mary Poppins medley is beautiful while, on the other hand, the Snow White medley is awful. Apparently these medleys are NOT arranged by Richard Hayman, a master at his craft. I couldn't help but feel that some of these lousy arrangements would be better suited for a high school marching band. With uneven playing and several really horrible renditions of Disney medleys, I cannot recommend this CD. Anyone want to buy a used CD real cheap?

Huh?????.......2004-10-22

I'd like to pint out that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is not a Disney Film! Other wise it was pretty good.

Mr. Hayman was the arranger for the Boston Pops orchestra through the '60's, '70's, and '80's. Many of these arrangements are featured on the Boston Pops recording "Salute to Disney" with Arthur Fiedler. The arrangements are extensive medleys from several movies and shows. These are great arrangements and the orchestra is phenominal, making these wonderful songs perfect for singing along.

FASCINATING: DISCOVER A RARELY PLAYED GEM.......2006-11-03

I completely disagree with the previous reviewer. I found this CD extremely enjoyable. These are really abridged versions of both operas: Auber's Fra Diavolo (in italian, originaly in French) and Donizetti's La Figlia del Reggimento (in Italina, though orignal also in French).
First of all, even though "La Figlia" was written originaly in French (Le Fille du Regiment), until 2 or 3 decades ago it was mostly known and played in the Italian version. The French version has been appearing more often since the 60s and 70s, a great example of the French opera comique, a form mastered by Donizetti.
Auber's Fra Diavolo was an amazing discovery for me. Auber was one of the most popular composers in 19th Century Paris. His operas are very lively and beautifully melodic He was a master of the opera comique format, and even of french grand opera (his 'La Muette de Portici' is considered the first well-defined example of the grand opera form). Fra Diavolo can be compared with Rossini's comic operas, only that in a french style. The arias and ensembles are richly melodic and quite interesting. The opera made me a fan of Auber, and made me find out more about his work. I was only familiar with "la Muete" (a serious opera). But he might have been better suited for the "opera comique" format. 'Manon Lescaut', 'Le Domino Noir', 'Le Cheval de Bronze' are just a few examples of his comic operas. They are gems that in recent decades have been rediscovered and good recordings of them do exist (available here on Amazon).
I would really recommend any fan of Rossini, Donizetti and other composers of opera buffa to buy this CD. Do get it, give it a chance. It will introduce you to a new and just as fascinating comic opera form. It is fascinating to notice the influence of Rossini and italian opera buffa in general, but then you can also tell that they are also very french at the same time. Just like me i am sure you will end up being a fan of french oprea comique, and maybe even also exploring other of the opera comic composers, such as Adams, Offenbach, Messager, Boieldieu, Gretty and many more.

Four High C's?.......2006-03-07

If you want a very truncated version of Donizetti's "Daughter of the Regiment" sung in Italian (original is in French), with the famous tenor aria, which should contain 9 high C's, cut in half (thus only 4 high C's are sung) then by all means get this two CD set.....but why would you? I wouldn't even call this a highlights CD, as so many of the selections are truncated. Despite some nice singing and orchestral playing, this recording is to be avoided. Not the genuine article. Oh yeah, there also is Auber's "Fra Diavolo" on disc one if you care....I didn't.
