Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Back From the Dead.......2006-08-17

This album re-introduced a former R&B singer by the name of Tina Turner to the world at-large. She hasn't stopped turning the world on its ear since. It's interesting to hear how this album grew practically on its own, rather haphazardly, with none of the careful nurturing and selective songwriting most artists put into their albums. The album's biggest hit, "What's Love Got To Do With It", almost didn't get made. Tina hated it. One of her favorites, "I Might Have Been Queen", wasn't released as a single. This album shows tremendous range and depth of talent. From her roots in R&B, to the lighter realm of Pop, to the harder edge of Rock, Tina showed she could handle it all. She became the first woman to be nominated for Grammies in the fields of R&B, Pop, and Rock all in the same year. The album became a phenomenon, going multi-platinum in the U.S. alone, and a few times that worldwide. There really isn't a weak song here, except possibly the cover of "Help", which is much better live. The sterility of the studio really didn't help the song. The rest of the album, though, is amazing. Her rendition of "Private Dancer", the title track, is wonderful. The slow, measured reading of the lyrics, and the weariness in her voice blends to completely convince the idea of her being a tired private-dancer for hire, her dreams of happiness gone. It seems that nowadays, pop princess-tarts are a dime a dozen, talented, yes, but over-produced, and lacking true direction and focus, hence the immense early attention and enormous album sales, then burn-out sets in, and they fade. It's an inspiring thing, then, to see a woman, in her forties at the time, come back and show what a lifetime of experience and a world of talent can do. Get this album and enjoy it, because even though radio played some of it to death, it still stands the test of time amazingly well.

Timeless.......2006-03-23

I purchased this item because it was said to be one of her best. The people sure knew what they were talking about! This album provides smooth Tina pefection all the way. From the upbeat great grooves of "I Might Have Been Queen" and "Steel Claw" to the sexy title track "Private Dancer" to the classics "Whats Love Got to Do with It?" and "Better Be Good to Me" this album is rocking! It's nice to have the extra tracks and extended version (even though they really aren't THAT much longer) they're a nice touch. All in all, Tina fans will love it, people looking for some 'good time' music will appreciate it, and anyone looking for some 80's fun will have stuck gold. This is a timeless great album.

Inner Visions .......2007-01-09

This band is incredible! My favorites on this album are "stand up" and "everybody talks". Their music has an uplifting message and a lot of heart. And once you see them live, you'll be hooked. To hear a sample of some of their songs, go to their website - (........)

review.......2003-08-10

This album portrays an amazing amount of talent from everyone involved-it's awesome!

As good live as recorded...........2003-06-19

I saw Inner Visions live in St John USVI. They were amazing. It is a rare find to have a quality roots reggae band these days when all I seem to here is dancehall. I guarnatee after one listen you will be hooked and selling them to all your friends.

Spiritual Dancer.......2002-12-06

Inner Visions is a seasoned and talented roots reggae band well worth a listen! Sha-La-La was a big hit in the islands; also check out Cool Reggae Rhythm, Good Lovin, Everybody Talks, etc.......I highly recommend all their music for it's positive message. It makes you move to the heartbeat wherever you may be! Buy this, but...see them LIVE!

Hottest reggae group I have seen in years!.......2002-07-28

Inner Visions performed reggae like I have not heard in a long time! There songs are so visionary and they sing from the heart.
Spiritual Dancer and Good Lovin just blew me away. If you have this CD, you simply must also get there CD entitled Love One Another.

For those whose tastes run from ZZ Top to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Robin Trower, with splashes of Jimi Hendrix here and there, this unabashed bag of 1970s power blues rock will be lots of fun. Featuring David T. Chastain on guitar and vocals, with a bump-and-grinding rhythm section of bassist Kevin Kekes and drummer Dennis Lesh, the album's 13 original songs showcase a world of topless bars, indiscriminate seductions, and drunken dreams with enough vigor and verve to drive the band's dated sound home. Chastain, who confesses to an "addiction" to exotic dancers, is at his gritty, growling best on "What to Do," "Don't Be Shy," and the title tune, "Exotic Dancer Blues." A step beyond the unexceptional is provided by "Time Traveler," which ponders the singer's previous lives, according to his regression therapist. Really. "I should've done this CD years ago," laments Chastain. He needn't worry. It sounds old enough. --Alan Greenberg

Customer Reviews:

Hard Rockin' Blues...Oh Yeah!.......2005-07-04

This is some good stuff! Pop it in the car stereo and turn it up. This is more Hard Rock with a touch of Blues. My kinda thing. I'll admit the vocals are not top shelf, but they fit the bill and the music is excellent. Great guitar work. I'll check out "Double Your Pleasure" next.

CD #2.......2003-01-05

If you liked there 1'st one as mush as I did ,you'll want to know there putting out # 2 this spring. Go to "southerngentlemen.com".

ZZ Trower/ Robin Top.......2001-08-15

Very good for a 1st cd. Very Good! All the way thru. Sounds alot like a harder, faster, early ZZ TOP/ ROBIN TROWER. You won't be disappointed!!

WOW.......2001-08-13

I stumbled upon this title and decided to give it a chance just based on the concept. I was not disappointed. I got what I asked for. A cd with music that comes from the heart and conjures images of dancers groovin in a smoke filled bar. The music is not unlike Trower yet Chastain makes each song his own by injecting his fret work that grinds it's way through each whisky soaked song.

If you like nasty guitar laced tunes, this is for you.

Bravo
