Editorial Reviews
Product Description
From the self-titled album, Saul Williams brings diversity and melody to his mostly spoken word album. While he is a poet, Williams does sing, chant, yell, rap, and moan over both hip-hop and rock rhythms and melodies. The music of Saul Williams can truly take the listener by surprise. Musically and lyrically, he pushes the envelope like Andre 3000, Common, Cee-Lo, Tre Hardson, Erykah Badu, and Lauryn Hill. 'Black Stacey' is an insightful tale of his childhood frustration and how he dealt with his culture and heritage. (Stacey is his middle name.) The chanted chorus is both moving and catchy. Wichita. 2005.

Customer Reviews:

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09

Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.

Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02

Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.

A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06

John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.

There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.

Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11

Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.

" one of cinema's greatest composers...John Barry".......2001-07-06

This collection of four compact discs...are worth their weight in GOLD! Barry creates visual moods for each film he scores...romantic, sentimental, action, adventure, suspense and mystery...the list could go on. Strings, brass and lush-velvet arrangements overlay each cue in his distinctive style of legendary scoring...we have ~ "John Barry:The Collection", Silva Screen's release traces 40 years of film music, featuring "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" ~ conducted by Mr. Nic Raine (outstanding)..."Crouch End Festival Chorus" ~ David Temple, Choir Master...perform 56 selections, over four hours of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!

Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Nic Raine (conductor, arranger, orchestrator & associate producer), a tremen!dous asset to every project he undertakes...and the man who made it all possible...a legendary icon always leading the way in film scoring ~ JOHN BARRY!

Total Time: 258:76 on 56 Tracks ~ SSD-1128 ~ (2001)

You might try other albums from Silva Screen, all worthy of a good listen ~ "The Essential James Bond" (SSD-1034)..."Bond:Back In Action" (SSD-1100)..."Bond:Back In Action 2" (SSD-1119)..."Zulu" (SSD-1095)..."Raise The Titanic" (SSD-1102)..."Walkabout" (SSD-1120)...check out my reviews on amazon.com/music.

Album Description

A compilation between Australia's favorite export, the Ten Tenors, film score icon John Barry, and famed lyricist Don Black. Here's To The Heroes has all the epic sweep, swoon, swashbuckle, and pure entertainment value of the many great films Barry has adorned with his timeless music.

Customer Reviews:

Quite powerful and sentimental.......2007-02-26

I found this album very moving, with tremendously rich vocals and instrumentals. It has a strong sentimentality to its sound, which I found highly appealing. But if you see yourself as above all that, this album will be easy to criticize, as some of the comments below attest.

In my mind, this music is more like show tunes, and less like a classical operatic rendition. And for that, it is quite well done. My favorite song is Bongiorno Principesa (sp?), which is quite moving and deeply romantic. One does not have to know Italian to understand love in song.

If other classical cross-over, such as Andrea Bocelli appeals to you, I strongly suggest you give it a try.

Disappointing Sound.......2007-02-16

The sound level from song to song is inconsistent. Requiring frequent volume adjustment. Several songs the orchestra overshadows the voices. The songs are beautiful.

The 10 Tenors.......2007-01-10

This CD has the best selection yet in my opinion for these wonderful voices..It really portrays how well they blend together and also how they accompany the Solos....I find it very relaxing driving and have had this
playing constantly in the car going back and forth to work.....The Music is superb I bought their other CD also which is great but this is THE favourite..I hope you enjoy it..

Great CD.......2007-01-04

I bought this CD b/c "Here's to the Hero's" was played at my cousin's funeral. He was killed in a plane crash fighting forest fires in California. The song was so beautiful and very moving, especially at an unexpected funeral, such as this one. It was the first time I had ever heard of them. I love the CD. It's a bit cheesy putting words to all these movie soundtrack themes. (Here's the Hero's is to the theme of Dances With Wolves). However, it is a very nice CD. I listen to it all the time. Actually, I have another CD by John Barry (Movie Themes) that I've had for a long time. After I bought the Ten Tenors, practically every song on here is on that John Barry (Instramental) CD. They just put words to theirs.

Over the Top Vocals.......2006-10-19

I know I will probably get slammed by people for not totally disliking or completely loving this CD. I am in the middle although I lean... overall it is a bit much. Some of the arrangements of this Australian vocal power group could use a little restraint. That being said however, some of the tracks are simply amazing. I am a big James Bond fan and "You Only Live Twice" is powerful. The Queen anthem from the Highlander movies, "Who Wants to Live Forever" is stunning. The Gladiator suite from the movie brings a new dimension with the all-male vocals making it an edgier version. If you are a big fan of movie scores and even bigger popera vocals, this CD is for you. Of course, this CD may be over the top but some of the tracks are worth keeping it on repeat so you may want the options of purchasing individual tracks. That said, turn this up on your stereo system to hear the full power of ten amazing tenor voices on this John Barry-helmed CD.

The German countertenor Andreas Scholl takes risks on his latest CD, Wayfaring Stranger, and not all of them pay off. It is a recording of 17 English-language folksongs, some of them very well known, such as "Down by the Salley Gardens" and "My love is like a red, red rose." This is not usually a repertory tackled by classically trained singers, who can sound prissy, but Scholl's clear, plaintive alto, with its rich low notes and gentle top range, is a quite plausible vehicle. "Wild Mountain Thyme" evokes real sadness, while "Barbara Allen" aches with unhappy love. A surprise awaits in the ballad "Henry Martin," as Scholl uses his rough, nondescript baritone to identify the hero. It is rather a jolt. At least, it is good to know his voice has actually broken. In this song, too-feminine endings in the lyric fall clumsily on stressed beats. Scholl does nothing to counter the infelicity; English, of course, is not his mother tongue. In the beautiful title track, which opens the disc, he sings endearingly of a "why-farring straincher." The accompaniments for various combinations of chamber orchestra, lute, dulcimer, and harp tend to be slushy, sentimental, and over-fussy. The bass uncomfortably parallels the tune in "Salley Gardens" and would have won a big red line through it in old-fashioned harmony classes. Still, on the whole, this is a worthwhile disc. Scholl clearly loves the songs he sings with great tenderness, and he deserves credit for his courage even where the experiment fails. --Rick Jones

Customer Reviews:

Beauty.......2006-05-12

This is one of the most beautiful CDs I know: so pure in tone, so haunting in its harmonies. The reservations of some other listeners seem to make this quality a sort of fault, and perhaps it is if you like your ballads gritty; but I find the selections, the arrangements, and Scholl's singing so ravishing that I felt I had to write this review just to urge everyone to try it. Listen to "I Will Give My Love ..." You might feel your heart stop.

Wonderful. .......2006-03-14

This is the perfect CD to listen to one a cold winter's afternoon with a warm cup of tea and a good book. Scholl's voice is so pure and smoothing. The orchestral arrangements are very creative and lush - sort of an English version of Canteloube's Chants d'Auvergne. The one down note I would have is eventhough Scholl's voice is very expressive his phrasing can be a little square. I would have liked him to take a bit more liberties with the sentences. The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra musical fluidity more than makes up for any of Scholl's rigidity however.
A recommended buy.

Wayfaring Stranger: Folksongs.......2005-10-26

This is a fantastic CD. The countertenor voice of Andreas Scholl gives an entirley new
meaning to traditional folk music. The orchestration is just enough to give a haunting sound to each selection. ' Wayfaring stranger' and 'Wild mountain thyme' are two selections that make the purchasing of the CD worth the pice.

Surprisingly good.......2005-03-05

At first I was suspicious due to the album's sleek marketing and desing. But right from the start I was delighted to hear the lush arrangements of these peculiar songs.

Granted, we do hear quite a lot of strings and even some sound effects that make the music sound dangerously "romantic", or worse, "exotic"...

And yes, the arrangements become very similar to those used by Sarah Brightman, Bocelli and other musical aberrations.... but Scholl's scholarly perfection of voice and delivery save the day. Not only that, but his (limited) potential to characterize the music is in full capacity... especially in the songs where he actually sings in his baritone in a self-contained duet.

Yes, the strings are too warm. And yes, there are parts that could even fit as background music for Disneyworld rides... And yes, it can at times sound cheap and "postcard-ish".........

But, truth be told, sometimes a Coke tastes better than Bordeaux, and sometimes a "Little Debbie" cake hits the spot better than the Sachertorte.

So, if you want to listen to songs that are warm and glowing -albeit effectist-, sung by a first class musician... this album will do the trick.

For those who are new to Scholl, I strongly reccomend his earlier CD's --namely those containing the Handel Arias, the English Lute Songs, and the German Baroque lieder.

As for "Wayfaring Stranger", play close attention to "My Love is a Red Red Rose"... If you've ever felt true love, this is the song to make you cry.

Brilliant.......2005-01-11

Putting this wonderful voice together with an easy-listening style of ochestration was simply a brilliant idea.

This compilation will surely bring this wondrous voice to the attention of a wholly different public to the one which presently adores Andreas, and secondly, it will introduce these folk treasures to an audience at present virtually ignorant of them.

Add this one to your Scholl collection

Brilliant arrangements + lively singing = great fun.......2000-09-14

What a fun way to learn that there's a lot more to the music of Harold Arlen than "The Wizard of Oz". In fact, it turns out this guy wrote some of the most beloved show tunes and standards of all time --and the best of the best are right here on this album. Chad Weirick's creative arrangements (who'd have thought of a jazz scat section during "I love to Sing-a"?) make these old favorites even more fun. And the guys of the chorus, backed by a large jazz band, sound fantastic! This is a must have for anyone, like me, who loves the old standards but is itching for a fresh presentation.

Awesome.......2000-06-22

A real fun CD. Full of original arrangements of much loved classics. They really are a world class chorus!
