Witty and Charming.......2000-08-15

This CD is fun and action packed as much as you could hope for in a CD. He uses quotes from many famous folk and classical songs and implements them into his own compositions with a bit of a twist. For example, in Classical rap, where he raps about being the best rapper in the world with terrific brass interludes between the verses. The orchestra plays a clip from Vivaldi's "Spring" and then he twists it into a record "wicky-wicky" to the same tune. He introduces every peice before it is played in a hilarious manner in which he talks about the peice and something else that was going on in the composers mind as he wrote the peice. Starting at the begining-

This is Professor Pete- Peter Schickele introduces himself as well as P.D.Q.

1712 Overture- A takeoff of the 1812 overture of course, with snatches of some famous folktunes thrown in here and there.

Oedipus Tex- A parady of the Greek Myth Oedipus Rex where he murders his father who is the King. Oedipus Tex lives a life like his brother but in Texas style.

The next tracks are more comedy than exactly music like the WTWP station giving options over the phone about how you would like to hear a certain peice of music. Cooking French... is a woman cooking a French gourmet meal but flubbing up the entire time.

What I have already said pretty much sums it up. The rest of the tracks are equally hilarious and as witty as all the others. If you buy this CD you will not regret it no matter what type of music you listen to.

Another great trip down the MFU memory lane.......2005-10-19

Volume 2 (comprised of 2 CDs) is another first rate compilation of the series' original music and not to be missed by U.N.C.L.E. fans. The liner notes are wonderful and add a lot to ones appreciation of the music.

My only problem is that THE CDs ARE COPY PROTECTED! Considerable work is needed to get the music onto your iPod, if you really want the music in your mp3 collection. This is a major hassle and a surprise, since the first set in the series was not copy protected.

The best of the three Double CDs ORIGINAL soundtrack release.......2005-07-12

Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

Duarte E Ezell (Opus 1 No.3)

Amazon.com

Chris Duarte has been many things during his career: Stevie Ray Vaughan heir apparent, psychedelic blues-rocker, light-speedy guitar god. For his third album, Duarte presents a new incarnation. It's a lot like his previous ones, but with an added spiritual element that usually comes later in an artist's career. So there are a few introspective pieces here--particularly "Azul Ezell" and "Metaphor (Acoustic)"--and a number of efforts at experimentation. One of these is "Metaphor (Electric)," which arrives just a few years too late for the grunge era. Another is "How Long," with Duarte doing his best to sound like Howlin' Wolf. Where does all this leave us? Well, it's a good album, and there's no doubting Duarte's proficiency or his sincerity. It seems, though, that he's still looking for his own voice. Once he can bring his considerable musical arsenal to bear on that, he'll be a force to be reckoned with. --Genevieve Williams

Great technique but lacks personality.......2003-05-18

Duarte definitely has an astonishing guitar technique. In this album, he incorporates some of the "guitar gods" approaches in an amazingly perfect way. That's where the problem is. Close your eyes and put track 1 (Baddness) and you'll think you're hearing Gary Moore. Track 5's (Free 4 me) similarity with Hendrix's "Fire" is at least cumbersome. Close your eyes and hear track 9 (Azul Ezell) and you'll think it's a new song from Santana. Track 10 is pure Hendrix (Hendrix family should sue this guy for this shameless copy of Jimi's stuff). Not to mention his SRV-like leads. In this album Duarte crosses a subtle boundary between being influenciated by someone else's approach and copying it. His sound is good but it totally lacks personality. The big guitar guys that will be remembered in 200 years are essentially innovative. They have their unique approach that can be recognized by anyone. Even though Duarte has a great technique, there is no innovation whatsoever in his music. If you are a guitar player, you should go for the originals, not copies. Perhaps you can get this album and learn how not to play a guitar.

Third Stellar Outing by CD.......2002-04-27

To paraphrase my brother, who is a both a devoted guitarist and a devoted student of many playing styles (from D'Jango to Jimi), Chris Duarte manages to combine influences from many, many other fine artists and yet retains his own unique style. His music ranges from straight-ahead kick-butt rock to liquid, buttery-smooth jazz, blues and soul. If you expect ANY of his albums to be consistent and uneclectic, forget it. If, however, you delight in amazing, incindiary, surprising and listenable ear-candy, ALL of Duarte's work is a treat.

While you're at it, look him up on the Web and plan on seeing him in concert. I did, at some little biker dive in Topeka, KS. Spent most of the time there in slack-jawed amazement at him and his band. God only knows how Duarte wrenches so of the music he gets out of that strat, but it's well worth hearing.

This album and it's predecessors are more polished versions of the Duarte magic. I highly recommend you spend a few $$$ and buy them. Your ears will thank you.

Duarte Victim of Hard Times.......2001-07-24

When Chris Duarte released his debut album, "Texas Sugar, Strat Magic," it felt as if the void left by the passing of Stevie Ray Vaughan just might be filled. Duarte's follow up album, "Tailspin Headwhack" took the listener in another more experimental, Hendrix influenced direction. This alienated Duarte's hardcore blues audience, sales suffered, and the band scrambled for a record deal. "Love is Greater Than Me" is the result. Instead of using his struggles as inspiration to reach new heights, Duarte recycles themes and riffs from previous albums in a much less inspirational way. Production is not as crisp as previous efforts, and soul is sorely lacking. The fact that Chris Duarte is an amazing talent makes this album worth buying, but this album will disappoint fans.

TABASCO FOR YOUR EARS...AGAIN!!!.......2001-06-25

I swear I am a big Chris fan, having seen him 5 times and enjoyed each show tremendosly. Here's the honest truth: This release came out last September of 2000 and I just picked it up last week. Why? CD has not come back to the NW for over 5 years. I ain't a happy camper. I was on a personal protest. So? I wish I could have been enjoying his latest ever since it came out. From the opening scorching track and then beyond, Chris takes the true listener to musical realms that few can achieve. Every song rocks, rolls and grinds with authentic roadhouse sweat. If you don't like this, you are the proud owner of a pair of tin ears.

Chris does not and will not disappoint, whether on vinyl or on stage. Naysayers complaining of the old CD sound should pay attention to his musical style direction by checking out "where he's at" on his website. He's progressing beautifully, artistically and passionately.

Thanks again Chris! Now come back to Seattle!

Excellent guitar work.......2001-06-10

This is my first Chris Duarte CD and I like it a lot. His guitar work rips and his voice is sufficient. He knows when to be quiet and let the music do the talking. I really liked the homages to Hendrix and SRV. I haven't had it long, but will enjoy it more and more. If you like Jake Andrews, Walter Trout, Indigenous, etc., then you will enjoy this CD.

Album Description

Handel's oratorios vary greatly in their presentation. In many ways, Esther is a rarity;it is by far the most intimate, not surprisingly as it was composed for the Duke of Chandos. The Duke's Palladian palace near the village ofEdgware had not been completed in time for the first performance so this may have taken place (as did Acis and Galatea) in the intimate surroundings of a small church, St Lawrence, Whitchurch.

We decided, therefore, that we should attempt to convey that intimacy of performance on disc; so we performed in the round with microphones in the middle, the orchestra in front of me, the choir behind and the soloists alongside. The result is everything that chamber music should be where players and singers can enjoy every aspect of Handel's masterpiece.

"The 'sound' of Esther, superbly communicated in the recorded performance here, is pure enchantment... The choral singing has an exceptional grandure, and the instrumental playing a shimmering beauty. Among the soloists, none of whom is less than accomplished, Nancy Argenta and Michael Chance dominate... Both singers affirm a new golden age of Handel interpretation".

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME.......2007-01-26

Esther is the first of Handel's oratorios by a good many years, written when he was 33 and enjoying the patronage of the Duke of Chandos. When he later became his own impresario and was running into trouble as a composer and producer of Italian operas he turned to oratorio as a strategic alternative, but at this early date his concern was to deliver staged entertainments for the Duke, and Esther, contemporary with the work that later gained the title Acis and Galatea, seems to have been just an unusually serious specimen of its type.

As often with Handel, there is no fully official version of the score, and this particular score may not even be fully complete from any point of view. The libretto seems to have been the work of someone in the frivolously named association of big literary figures called the Scriblerus Club, perhaps Dr John Arbuthnot, dedicatee of Pope's great poetic Epistle, but Pope himself may have had a hand in it too. As we have it here, the work breaks into two very asymmetrical parts. Scenes 1 and 2 start with a recitative lasting only seconds from Habdonah followed by a longer one in which Haman announces his onslaught on the Israelites, and from there on feature only anonymous participants. Esther herself and the other named characters make their appearance first in scene 4, but the change of tone occurs in scene 3. At this point the music gains gravity first in the chorus Ye sons of Israel with its extraordinary modulations and then in the striking aria O Jordan, Jordan. I myself feel that this weightier tone is maintained to the end, whether or not the writer of the liner note is correct in saying that the long final chorus with solos is out of proportion to its context.

Throughout - in the first part as well as in scenes 3-6 - the instrumental writing is vivid and varied, with an extraordinary pizzicato accompaniment to Tune your harps and then an even more extraordinary obbligato from the harp itself at Praise the Lord. The harpist is no less than Jan Walters, but sometime I would like to see the score and check out what seem some odd rhythmic interactions here between her and the soloist Nancy Argenta. There are no fewer than ten vocal soloists in a work lasting a little over an hour and a quarter, and a very distinguished bunch they are. I was particularly pleased to find Michael Chance in the countertenor role of the Priest of the Israelites as I admire the strength of his tone, but there is no real weakness among them, unless Lynda Russell as Esther has a couple of very slightly awkward high notes in Flatt'ring tongue, which must be a little nerve-wracking to sing as she has to find her note for herself unaccompanied at the start and later at the reprise. You will see some big names among the instrumentalists too, with Crispian Steele-Perkins on the trumpet making a predictably fine contribution towards the end, and of course with Jan Walters in that marvellous harp part early on. The chorus gets some wonderful work to do, and rises to it fully. I really am unable to worry about the proportionateness of the final chorus when I hear that incomparable Handelian build of tone, sung by 18 singers and sounding as if there were 100.

There is a good liner note by Graydon Beeks Jr, not perhaps the last word in lucidity (neither is the plot of the libretto come to that) but worth re-reading. Harry Christophers himself contributes a short foreword largely concerned with the recording process and highlighting the contributions of Mark Brown and Mike Hatch, his long-time technical collaborators. I was interested to see also the name of Geoff Miles in a role described as `editor'. What responsibilities this involved is not stated and perhaps I ought to know without being told, but I know the work of Geoff Miles as recording engineer from elsewhere and it gave me confidence just to see that he is involved in the proceedings, and the technical work is predictably excellent.

My collection of Handel oratorios is now almost complete, and what a wonderful musical experience they are. Each is unique in its own way, but Esther is unique in some very special ways, and I suggest that you do not wait until you are my age to get to know it.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-04-04

Handel began composing the oratorio 'Esther' in 1718. There is some confusion as to who actually worte the libretto for it, but the story follows very closely the biblical story of Esther in the Book of Esther in the old testament. The story tells of a plot of Haman, the Agagite (Michael George-bass) jealous and powerful vizier of King Xerses (Ahasuerus-Tom Randle-tenor) of Persia(485-464), to destroy in a single day all the Jews living in the Roman Empire. He is moved to this out of hatred for the Jewish servant Mordecai (Mark Padmore-tenor),who for religious motives refuses to render him homage. The day of the proposed massacre is determined by lot. Meanwhile, Esther,niece and adopted daughter of Mordecai, is chosen Queen by King Xerses. She averts the pogrom planned against her people and has the royal decree of extermination reversed against Haman and the enemies of the Jews. Mordecai replaces Haman, and together with Esther, works for the welfare of their people. As you can see this makes for an interesting Oratorio, which it truly is!
This is a "small" contribution compared to many of Handel's other works. However, it is not "small" in a musical sense. There is much creativity on the part of Handel as to orchestral scoring; he exploits his small orchestra and chorus in surprising ways, introducing new vocal and instrumental colours throughout the score, adding and subtracting instruments and voices in many and varied ways. This is a listening surprise as it moves along. And what a great performance on the part of the Christophers as well as some outstanding vocal soloists. Mark Padmore's (Mordecai) aria "Tune Your Harps to Cheerful Strains" was superb as was the Duet between Lynda Russell (Esther) and Tom Randle (Ahasuerus).But the aria that really drew me into the entire drama was sung by Michael Chance (Priest) "O Jordan, Jordan, sacred Tide." It was perfection itself!!!!The Chorus was extremely good and dictionally perfect. It is a great listening experience.

Black Lion Ben Webster.......2006-08-01

I have always enjoyed the Black Lion recordings of Ben Webster. I had all three volumes on vinyl records. They catch Webster in fine "late career" form. You will notice that the great tenor had a fairly short list of songs that he performed late in his career.

His playing is really cheerful and involved. He played with a rhythm section that he was familiar with. All recordings are live from the Black Lion sessions. You can hear drink glasses clinking and the background noise of life. To me, it adds to the atmosphere.

The discs are well mastered, in-expensive, and reasonably packaged for the money. If you are a Ben Webster fan, you will want all three volumes.

I listen to them frequently. Get them before they are gone.

'There Is No Greater' Ben Webster Album/CD.......2001-11-21

This CD was originally released as an album in 1965. I feel it is the tenor saxophonist's finest hour in the studio. It is the perfect late night - Sunday morning - easy - mellow listening Jazz CD. Recorded at Metronome Studios in Copenhagen, the album consists mostly of ballads but several tracks swing ever so gently. All standards, the best tracks are #3 - There is No Greater Love, #5 - What's New?, and #8 - Autumn Leaves. However, all eight of the tracks are extremely well played by the 4 piece jazz set. A very underrated Kenny Drew plays piano beautifully throughout all eight tracks. The entire project is in direct contrast to Ben's life in general. Ben moved to Europe around 1964 after all his family had past on in the US and he lived the good life of a musician. Never shying away from parties or nightlife - Ben was a good friend of the notorious Fats Waller. When ones listens to this CD, it is hard to imagine anything but a docile life by the artist. I very highly recommend this CD for not only any Ben Webster fan, but also for any jazz fan in general. The CD is on the Black Lion label - BLCD760151.

This is a great disc. Any young believer can benefit from the Godly themes on this album. The message is delivered in a tight and aggressive musical style. Greg's voice is unique and, on this album, dynamic. I went to a local used CD store and found a copy on cassette for 50 cents. I guess that will have to do!

Superb voice - Superb album!.......2005-05-03

Greg was the former lead vocalist for the legendary christian rock band, PETRA and released this debut solo effort in 1986. John Lawry (Petra's keyboardist at the time) provides a brilliant keyboard solo on one track, "Joyous Grave." The album is exceptionally produced and contains 10 solid rock tracks. Also making guest appearances are vocalist Matthew Ward and guitarist Phil Keaggy.

The cassette that I bought when the album was released has been worn out for years which is proof of just how great it is. Amazon's comment about this CD being hard to find is not, necessarily, the case. (...)

Absolute classics performed perfectly.......2005-06-07

The art of the english anthem is second only in church, and actually, all of music to the rennaisance motet. On this CD, you can hear 11 of the most fine english anthems ever written. John Stainer, Charles Stanford, Balfourd Gardiner, John Ireland, Edward Bairstow are geniuses and their work shines perfectly on the first ever volume of English Anthems. Only Edward Naylor's "Vox Dicentis: Clama", which is still fine, doesn't seem to belong among the other giants.

The boys are the best in the St. Paul's Cathedral Choir, the countertenors are also right on. The tenors and basses while overdoing the vibrato just a bit, are still a reliable foundation.

Highlights: "I saw the Lord" (1), the mysterious and evocative "Evening Hymn" (3), "Beati Quorum Via" (6), the best english anthem ever written "Blessed City, Heavenly Salem" (7) (although a bit too slow on this recording, in my opinion), "Greater Love Hath No Man" (9) and the jubilant "God is gone up" (11)

Out of everything I've ever heard (which is a lot), this is the one choral recording to own.

English anthem, St Pauls Cathedral, vols 1-7.......2000-05-05

If you could have only one CD collection of English anthems, this should be it! Besides the incomparable ST Pauls Cathedral choir, the selection of composers & anthems offers a wide variety from medieval times to the present. Excellent recording - also very difficult to choose which of the 7 volumes. Buy them all!

If you never heard a jazz record in your life, this might be the one to hear first. Simple, soulful, well-produced but not over-produced. And if you're as big a fan of The Brute as I am, you'll love this record!
