Beautiful and Consistant.......2005-07-29

This cd is recommended for those who have been listening to Gackt for a while, not for those who are just starting to listen to him. This is because it's the unplugged version and each song is different from it's origional format. However, this cd is great for easy listening and the music blends perfectly. It's all very beautiful and consistant throughout the album. I must say that it isn't something that I'd usually enjoy because I enjoy rock music as opposed to easy listening, however this music is very unique and the lyrics are brilliant. So maybe even the hard core rockers might find it pleasurable too.

A Must buy!.......2005-05-23

I have to say that anything that comes out with Gackt's name on it is a master piece. He is a God. He is the most talented Singer out there right now and not to mention he's one sexy Bishonen and he is Bisexual (look at Vanilla Live Music Video). It's a shame that not many people know about him, so I share his voice and music with everyone I can. Snap up all of his CDs you can and his Movie, Moon Child. His songs are pure talent.

I loved it.......2005-02-18

This is my third Gakuto-san CD, and my first Full CD. I bought a few singles so I'd be sure I didn't seriously waste money on this, and I didn't! the guitar is just so peaceful, and all the instruments just blend with his voice. I think Gakuto-san is my Male Japanese alternatate to Barbra Striesand

Pretty good CD.......2004-11-15

The Seventh Night is all an all-acoustic album. Most of the songs are really soothing and light. The other more fun ones, like 'Papa Lapped a Pap Lopped' and 'Mirror', are a great listen, too. I recommend it for long-term Gackt fans, but not someone who is just getting into his music. Try Mars or Rebirth first.

favourite recordings last in your mind.......2004-10-31

Everyone has a favourite recording and this is my Christmas favourite. I worked with this team of ringers and know the hours they dedicated and the love of their craft which grew over their years together. They are seniors in a secondary school, have performed with the BBC symphony Orchestra and won acclaim at the National Handbell Rally in York England; they have toured the US three times both entertaining and educating their audiences. I highly recommend the recording. Exaimine its contents and you will remember the melodies from your youth and from the collection of Christmas music fondly stored in your mind and heart.

An excellent display of talent........2002-12-09

I was honored to meet this bell choir when they came to E.D. White Catholic High School in Thibodaux, which is where I am in 12th grade. We hosted its members and became the best of friends with all of them. If any of the members are reading this, Merry Christmas to you guys, good luck in the future, and keep up the good work. I hope to see you again someday, as do all of the the people who came to know you through cultural exchange and through your unique musical idiom.
For those who have not heard their music, you are in for a real treat. Even if you are never able to see them live, the cd is a great way to enjoy their music.

Neglected masterpieces.......2006-01-23

The reviewer Mr. Fitzwilliam captured what I have felt when listening to "For Katherine in April." He said -- "Most people can remember, with joy, and longing, and perhaps regret for what might have been, the first time they were ever in love. This is that feeling, expressed in music." Ron Nelson has had a distinguished career as a composer, but this piece, written in his youth, I think is his best. The rest of the music is calming, but with a rapturous quality about it. The sound is good -- but is the only weak link in the album. There is a lack of bloom in the recording at times. I wish some smart music executive would redo this with a world class orchestra. However, Howard Hanson conducts here, and he excels. I doubt anyone could exceed his fine work. (But I'd like to see someone try.) Most of these pieces should be concert hall staples. I sometimes wonder about the breadth of knowledge of our major orchestra directors and managers. Why isn't the Nelson work as famous as, e.g., Rachmaninov's Vocalise? It's that good. Most highly recommended.

A truly special and beautiful CD.......2005-02-02

The music on this CD has been a part of my life in so many different ways I almost don't know where to begin. It is probably the most treasured CD I own. This is a collection of music of Eastman (School of Music) composers. Two of my favorite music teachers in high school, husband and wife, had both of their children study at the Eastman School. So, one day one of these teachers of mine plays me a bit of this album -- when it still WAS an "album", that is, the Mercury LP -- and I fell in love with it literally from the first minute. I could not obtain my own copy, however, as the LP had long been out of print.

A few years later, I attended the Eastman School of Music myself. The bookstore often had rare Eastman recordings, including some of the Mercury LPs, for sale -- but NEVER this one. (Everyone wanted it, you see!) However, pursuing leads, I learned that one of the deans of the school had a secret personal stash of brand-new, unopened, Mercury LPs of which he might sell you one if you asked him REALLY nicely. For me, getting my hands on that LP copy of Music For Quiet Listening still in its shrink wrap was like finding a gold double eagle in your loose change.

Fast-forward a few decades, and finally, the Mercury Living Presence LPs are being re-issued on CD! But Music For Quiet Listening never seemed to be in stock. Finally a record store clerk, who knew the CD himself, took pity on me and found a copy that had been mis-shelved. Again, it was like finding the Holy Grail.

What really captivated me about this recording on first hearing all those years ago was the very first piece, Ron Nelson's "For Katherine In April", a beautiful melody in the strings, with lush harmony and heart-wrenching counterlines in the inner voices. Later, after a more melancholy passage in the english horn and oboe, the sun bursts forth, and there is an almost unbearably beautiful climax with the full orchestra, strings still most prominent, with some ecstatic birdcalls from the flutes running through it all. The only description I can come up with is: Most people can remember, with joy, and longing, and perhaps regret for what might have been, the first time they were ever in love. This is that feeling, expressed in music.

And that is just the FIRST FIVE MINUTES of this CD.

This recording is a collection of pieces from the 1950s by Eastman School of Music composers which were awarded the Benjamin Prize at the school. This was a composition prize founded by a philanthropist who wanted to encourage music that inspired a feeling of quiet beauty in the listener. And "quiet" does NOT mean flat and lifeless, or bland elevator music. These pieces, as you can tell from my description of For Katherine In April, DO have highs and lows in them. And, they have different moods. Some are dark or mysterious, some melancholy, some light and peaceful, but they are all soothing to the mind, and the heart, and the soul.

And as for the quality of the CD itself: ALL re-issues of beloved, classic LPs should be this good. For one thing, the original Mercury studio recordings were captured either on a 35 millimeter film recorder, or on a custom-made three-track Ampex reel-to-reel recorder. For the CD mastering of these Mercury re-issues, they found and restored to original working condition THE VERY SAME RECORDERS from which the LP masters had been made. (You can thank Ros Ritchie, head of the Eastman Recording Services department for many years, for having the foresight to keep that priceless, one-of-a-kind equipment intact.) Thus, the CD has exactly the same timbre and frequency balance as the original LP.

But it gets better! Not only do they give you the original cover art, and the original liner notes, but there are also new, expanded liner notes telling you what the composers went on to do in the years after the original LP was made. This is a really thoughtful, very nice touch.

And, if THAT wasn't enough, since there is more room on a CD than on an LP, there are three bonus tracks on the CD! All were also winners of the Benjamin prize, and all were recorded on the same mastering equipment as the original LP contents. One of the new additions is an early recording of Kent Kennan's "Night Soliloquy", which has become a staple of 20th century flute repertoire.

Well, I have gone on enough. This is a truly special recording, one that has beautified my own quiet, thoughtful moments for years, and the fact that it is available to us on CD in such pristine condition is really fortunate. I hope that it comes to mean as much to you.

Killer music........2001-05-11

"Killer" is a household term for music which is so beautiful, so luscious, that it, well, just kills you. I'm a music school graduate, 50 years old, and my partner and I have amassed hundreds and hundreds of LPs, tapes and CDs over the decades. This is one of the handful of albums which gets played repeatedly. The music is sometimes melancholy, sometimes bitter-sweet, but always "accessible" yet spiritually fulfilling. I don't want you to think that it will make you depressed--it won't. But it's great for those times you want something to think by, remember by, mourn by. (I'm buying it for a friend who just lost a close relative). I'm thrilled to see there is a second volume available on CD. Listen to what beautiful music Americans were creating at mid-Century even while the "challenges" of Milton Babbitt and Elliot Carter were the only things being proselytized in music schools. Vindication is sweet and so is this album.

Sublime.......2000-07-07

Each of these is a lovely work. All range from Romantic to Impressionist. Each is special.

Hanson takes works by Eastman students and makes up a restful compendium. Rest assured, these aren't current--the original LP came out in the late 50s, so this is an outstanding document of what was going on in composition at Eastman during that period.

Taken either as history, or strictly as music, this Mercury classic is one every serious lover of American music should have. It's pure, sonic balm.
