Customer Reviews:

Wonderful set of orchestral music for an amazing price.......2007-08-05

I will admit that when I first ordered this 20 cd set from Amazon I was very skeptical and hesitant. I figured what kind of quality am I going to get for $16.97?! But when I got it in the mail and started listening to some of the cd's I was more than pleasantly surprised. The music contents on each is cd has the complete versions of the each song or theme. You know how a lot of cd sets just have the short versions or arrangemnts of songs to cut down on the price, but not on this set. Every cd runs anywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours of listening time. Even though the box set is called orchestral spectaculars if you like piano music there is a Liszt cd in the set with The Fantasy on Beethoven's The Ruins of Athens for piano, Malediction for piano and orchestra and Grande Fantasie Symphonique on Berlioz's Lelio for piano and orchestra. There is also a Rachmaninov in the set with his First Piano Concerto in F Sharp Minor and the original full length 30 minute version of his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Even if you listen to mostly piano music there are many versions based on them. For example, Brahms 21 Hungarian Dances that were written for solo piano, but in this set they are orchestrated. I had never heard the pieces like that before. It was nice to get a different perspective of the music. The same goes for Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition also written for piano, but here it is in a symphonic form and I enjoyed it just as much as the solo piano version. If you love opera, but are maybe someone that likes the orchestral part more than the singing there are many cd's in this set for that as well. There are 2 cd's of Wagner's music with my favorite prelude of all time Isolde's Love Death from Tristan and Isolde. Overtures from all of Rossini's and Rimsky Korsakov's operas. I think this cd would be a great place to start for someone who is new to classical music and doesn't want to spend a lot of money or if you love classical music as I do and want to hear new versions of your favorite pieces or just want to add to your cd collection you can do that for under $1.00 a cd. How many times have we all spent more than the price of this set for only one cd? I highly recommend this set. The sound quality and choices of music are excellent. Anyone who buys this will not be disappointed.

A good gift for novice.......2007-05-12

This was a good gift for somebody learning about Classical music in Japan.

The Masters of Classical Arabic Music.......2006-05-24

This is a brilliant series of CDs, culled from the collections of EMI Arabia with the ambition to bring the true masters of Arabic classical music to a wider audience. Featuring ten performances by artists known and respected across the Arabic-speaking world, this CD does a wonderful job showing the beauty, intensity and raw emotion of Arabic music. Passionate vocals, masterful 'oud playing and full orchestras give each performance a rich, lush sound that you can appreciate even if you don't know a word of Arabic.

The first CD includes performances by the legendary Lebanese super-star Fairouz, Egyptian-born composer and 'oud player Mohamed Abdel Wahab, singer Warda from Algeria, Abdel Halim Hafez of Egypt, an instrumental number by Lebanese violinist Abboud Abdel Aal, and Egyptian diva Oum Kalthoum, who can rightly be called the mother of Arabic classical music, amongst others. On the second CD, we are treated to a full 50 minute dramatic performance of "La Ya Sadiqi" (No My Friend) by Iraqi Kazem el-Saher, one of the finest classical musicians in the contemporary Arabic-speaking world, along with a song by Mohammed Abdu of Saudi Arabia. All in all, over 2 hours of classical Arabic music.

For some reason, Amazon.com doesn't list the full track listing, so I'm posting it here so you know whats on it:

CD 1
1. "Batwans Beek" - Warda
2. "La Takzibi" - Mohamed Abdel Wahab
3. "Samahtak Keteer" - Asalah
4. "Ala Balad el Mahbouh" - Oum Kalthoum
5. "Mahalha Esht el Fallah" - Nagat
6. "Khay Khay" - Abboud Abdel 'Aal
7. "Zay el Hawa" - Abdel Halim Hafez
8. "Ya Garatal Wadi" - Fairouz

CD 2
1. "Leilat Khames" - Mohammed Abdu
2. "La Ya Sadiqi" - Kazem el-Saher

This CD is only the first in the series, which includes several other compilations, as well as re-releases of masterpiece recordings by classical Arabic performers. All of them, including this particular CD, are worth tracking down and adding to your personal collection. Essential listening for any lovers of classical Arabic music, or music from the Middle East in general. This is haunting, painfully beautiful music, and even if you don't speak Arabic you can feel the raw emotion behind it.
