5 out of 5 stars 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!

5 out of 5 stars 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!

5 out of 5 stars 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!

3 out of 5 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars Very interesting live performance.......2005-12-20

English and spanish Overview:
- English: Silvio and Pablo Milanes, are the 2 most importants singers for the Nueva Trova Cubana movement. On this disk, the quality of the sound is very good for a recording like this, and the additional argentinien singers perform very well also. Although those two singers may have about 30 discs each one, the selection here is still interesting, with some of the most popular songs from both. If you like either Silvio, Pablo, or both, and want all the discs in your collection, then buy this one. If you don't have this one, you won't miss too much this record. It has pretty much the same musical structure arrengments than the original songs, with 2 exceptions, Ojala y Oleo de Mujer con sombrero.
Spanish: Este disco tiene una seleccion de canciones acertada, diria yo, tomando el larguisimo numero de canciones que tienen Silvio y Pablo. Musicalmente, creo que no aporta mayor cosa, pero si tienes que tener todas las versiones de todas las canciones, pues compralo, no te arrepentiras, aunque no estara en tu lista de favoritos, creo yo, porque no tiene mayor valor agregado. Los cantantes invitados argentinos cantan una cancion cada uno, con resultados variados.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking.......2005-07-27

La rendicion vocal de Silvio Rodriguez en "Por quien merece
amor" junto a su inmortal guitarra es mi pieza favorita de
este hermoso y conmovedor cd. Como el nadie pero Pablo
Milanes te despierta del sueno con su propia propuesta igual
de digna. Los argentinos Leon Gieco, Victor Heredia y demas
completan la mision de volver a los oyentes pedazos. Altamente
recomendado.

This is an accoustic live album. I saw Los Lobos earlier this year(07)in Baltimore. This album reminds me of that concert in both style and content. Lots of hispanic accoustic instruments in a traditional Mexican style. So this is a bit different than their more rock based albums. Most songs are in Espanol. An excellent CD begining to end.

One of Latino Rock's hottest acts is recorded live, stadium style, with screaming fans and all the ambience of a major rock event--which is what this is. The only difference between Maná and a Police concert is that Maná is in español. Armed with their own original material and shuffling pop reggae beats, Maná prove they are every bit as good as their source of inspiration, not just on record but also on stage. They have enough thematic twists of their own to avoid any criticism as a "knock off" act, and have built a following that marks them as the heirs apparent to Selena's pop crown. World Music fans may be dismayed at this blatant assimilation of western pop culture, but this excellent recording proves that this group has hit rock's Big Time--on their own terms. --Derek Rath

5 out of 5 stars Awesome CD.......2006-03-30

These guys are great live. I've been to 2 of their shows on different tours and in different countries, and the sound is incredible. Had this been an english-singing rock and roll band, this CD would be among the classics like Frampton Comes Alive and The Song Remains the Same. The way the fans respond to the songs just gives this CD such a great feeling to it. It reminds me of the way fans cheer at a Pink Floyd Concert the second the realize "Wish You Were Here" is beginning. And not to mention the songs are great songs. So don't let the language barrier get in the way. Get this CD now!, and the sample music here on Amazon does not do the disc justice. try it out.

5 out of 5 stars Maná gives my life momemtum.......2005-05-22

I admire Maná for having put moving and meaningful lyrics to such attractive accompaniment. Maná is my favorite band of all time, and I have spent the past 5 years with this CD and others of Maná, listening to them nearly once per week since I bought them in September, 2000.

5 out of 5 stars Mana-En Vivo.......2003-03-07

Purest Mana, right before the addition of current guitarist Sergio Vallin, but it doesn't sound at all stripped down or bare. Mana's live performances are incredible, and this CD is a true testament to that. The music went straight from show to CD, no added engineering. Pure, raw energy as only Mana can give you. A must-have if you are a diehard Mana fan, a gotta-get-it if you are new to Mana.

5 out of 5 stars Mana :).......2002-09-21

Mana, this cd is live as u can see. This cd was done in 1994 infront of millions of people. Mana gave there voice to the fans. Thsi cd's u get to hear the emotions that mana makes to there fans. Mana was raced as kind of hard but now they are on the top. Its a great Cd.

5 out of 5 stars Mana En Vivo.......2002-01-06

The voice and rhythm of this band can compare itself to the famous Peter Frampton Alive. Not only does this band employs the Caribbean sounds of marimbas and its incomparable rhythm it actually deploys the purity of soft rock with the hard rock instruments making an extreme pleasurable listening experience. Every elevator should carry this album in their repertoire. I am sure would spend hours going up and down any building.

5 out of 5 stars Essential Performances from a Great & Beloved Singer.......2004-01-09

For those of us who grew up on Janet Baker's recordings (and were lucky enough to hear her "live" as well), the sound of her voice and her singular artstic personality - British restraint coupled with fierce emotional and spiritual commitment - are indelibly imprinted in our minds and hearts. The closest current equivalent is Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, another superb artist who has charted her own course, and not surprisingly there is some overlap of repertoire, in the music of J.S. Bach, of course, but also Berlioz's Didon and Beatrice, Handel's Ariodante and Britten's Phaedra (composed for Baker).
This wonderful compilation is complementary to EMI's 2-CD "The Very Best of Janet Baker" -- no overlap of repertoire whatsoever. Unlike that set, which focused on concert repertoire (with orchestra or piano) there's a generous sampling here of Baker's operatic roles including Handel, Mozart, Purcell, Rameau, Gluck, and Britten. Also welcome is "Phaedra," one of Britten's strongest late works. And it's good to have the Berlioz: "Cleopatre" and "Herminie" complete, the big aria from "Beatrice et Benedict." (Why EMI included nothing from her recording of the last 2 scenes of "Les Troyens" is unfathomable.) The wide time-span allows us to hear Baker's voice in all its youthful, "sappy" warmth, as well as in its artistic maturity (though truth to tell she was pretty much a complete artist from the start). There are a few signs of wear in later items, nothing serious, in fact rather less than I remembered. I could have done with fewer of the "Arie Amorose" in favor of more cuts from her Gluck LP, which I believe has never been issued complete on CD, but that's just personal preference. The focus here is entirely on orchestrally accompanied works (or, in the case of the marvelous early disc of Ravel, Chausson & Delage songs, with chamber ensemble) so for Baker the supreme interpreter of English, German and French song you'll need to go elsewhere (the EMI has a fair sampling, especially of her Schubert). But everything here is indispensible.

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful album.......2004-04-14

I don't usually buy live recordings because sometimes the sound quality is not good but being a big fan of Vicente and Alejandro Fernandez , I just have to have this and I was very surprised at the excellent sound quality. I love the song selection including some great duets like " Perdon ". Also is a very touching " Cuando yo queria ser grande ", sung by Alejandro and dedicated to his father. I love this CD and listen to it all the time, a wonderful compilation of the greatest hits of Alejandro and Vicente Fernandez. I wish it is available on DVD.

2 out of 5 stars una decepción.......2003-11-13

Primero que nada, me encanta la música de Alejandro y Vicente Fernández y, por eso, decidí comprar este disco. Pensé que iba a ser tan bonito como el de Alejandro llamado «Un canto de México», que también fue grabado en vivo, pero, desafortunadamente, no lo es. Sí, las voces son bonitas y la la selección de canciones me gusta. Sin embargo, no me gusta escuchar tanto aplauso, ni mucho menos el cantar del auditorio. Quizás este concierto fuera divertido, pero eso no quiere decir que se transforme en un buen disco.

This exuberant collection of concert recordings is a robust fiesta, with a lot of love shared between these two Mexican icons and their audience, and it is also historical, capturing for perhaps the last time father and son, El Gran Garañon y El Potrillo, who have been on tour together for about two years.
Their powerful voices are marvelous separate or together, as they share equal time singing their solo hits, and join up for 4 duets, from "Amor de los Dos", which was Alejandro's first recording when he was 19, and started him out on a singing career, to the spectacular "Perdon", with a soaring interpretation of this gorgeous melody by these perfectly blended voices. Other memorable highlights are "Cuando Yo Queria Ser Grande", sung movingly by Alejandro to his father, and a long, slightly modernized version of the exquisite "Como Quien Pierde una Estrella", which was a big hit for Alejandro in 1995. Vicente has many shining moments, like "Me Voy a Quitar de en Medio", and he really knows how to work the crowd, who respond to him with wild appreciation.

I personally don't care for the overall sound quality, which suffers sometimes from the same complaint I had seeing them live at the Universal Amphitheater, where the over-amplification was deafening, and caused a lack of clarity; nevertheless, one must make allowances for live recordings, and for fans of Vicente and Alejandro, this set is a must, to join with the audience with a big cheer. The foldout insert has little more than a song list, and total time for disc # 1 is 46'27, and disc # 2, 63'46.

5 out of 5 stars Very Powerful Stuff..........2003-10-28

The first thing anyone will notice about this live concert c.d. is that Alejandro and Vicente sound impressive live just as they do on their studio albums ! With most "live" concert recordings the artist's vocals get lost in the background or mix which is what deters most people from purchasing concert performances on c.d. Most of the times the performance by the artist is hampered by the sound of the crowd and the band or instrumentation ! So, what can account for such an excellent recording (besides the mastering or mixing of the recording)? The sheer fact that Alejandro and Vicente are without a doubt two of Mexico's most powerful male vocalists...Alejandro's voice is unique from his father's in that he posesses that deep baritone and emotive voice. While, Vicente has his own unique style as well...As for the songs on the 2 disc set, they are each incredible, full of life and vitality about the ups and downs of love, life, and anything in between ! This is a 2 disc set that is definitely worth owning and will give your stereo system a thorough workout !

5 out of 5 stars Dynamic Duo!!!.......2003-10-24

Alejandro & Vicente Take To The Stage For A Glorious & Magical Concert!!! Two Cds Full Of Beautiful Songs Sung By Two Gorgeous Voices!!! Listen To The Crowd...These Men Are STARS!!! I Have Been A Fan Of Alejandro Fernandez For Years And I Am Always Amazed At How Powerful & Beautiful His Voice Is!!!!! Another Great Cd In A Long Line Of Great Cds!!!!

This whole album is great. If you love Salsa this album is a must!

5 out of 5 stars Just Great!.......2005-07-08

Victor Manuelle shows in this CD why he is one of the best actual salsa exponents. His voice sounds great as usual, and I love his talking. Great buy for salsa lovers!

5 out of 5 stars Great Concert.......2005-05-03

This is just pure professionalism. These past 2 years have been great for Victor Manuelle, and he deserves it. His music, his voice, everything makes this cd outstanding. I had the chance to go see him in Washington D.C. a few days ago. The concert was very much like the one on the cd and he sang a few more songs from his past productions. I hope they release a DVD of one of his concerts soon. This cd is a must-have.

4 out of 5 stars damn the torpedoes.......2006-12-28

I have never heard of these guys before but someone at my work let me borrow it and I must say that I liked it. I don't understand spanish but the music is good which sounds like a band from the '70's like Santana. The dvd is has them performing live and it also has a couple of music videos which are okay.

So if you're a fan of these guys or maybe you like Santa or anything like that then you should get this cd/ dvd combo while supplies last.

5 out of 5 stars At last the first real rock band in spanish.......2006-02-07

I usually hear 1970's rock music and is it the first time that I hear a real band in spanish that can match this kind of music (era). This band has something special. This CD is better than original ones (a rare exception for me). Cantero has an excellent voice and Staiti has nothing to envy Clapton (Cream),Andy Latimer(Camel) or even Santana. I strongly recommends this group specially this CD to all rockers especially to latins.

3 out of 5 stars Escuchenlo antes de comprar.......2005-07-06

Miren, yo ansiaba por comprar este disco despues de que vinieron a tocar en mi pais, y en lo que me lo compre estaba exitadisimo pero he quedado decepcionado. Les voy a intentar dar cuantos detalles pueda en cuanto al disco. Felipe se lucio, toco unas cosas increibles pero a veces se pasaba, lo cual hacia la musica mas aburrida. Daniel se mostro mas grande que nunca. Definitivamente es la obra cumbre de estos dos. Pero, y este es un gran pero, Marciano no mostro tanto como se esperaria. No es por insultarlo ni nada, le tengo mucho respeto y tuvo una gran presencia en vivo. Como bajista fue su obra cumbre pero como cantante definitivamente no. Se intentaba lucir mucho y salia un canto muy feo. Tambien pasaba el mic mucho a la audiencia, se los juro que casi no canta en Lamento Boliviano. La otra cosa que me molesto fue que a veces no llegaba a la nota que deberia de cantar. Oiganlo primero porque como musico, yo me fijo mucho mas en la musica que la mayoria, pero eso de 5 estrellas se los aseguro que no es verdad.

5 out of 5 stars El Rock en Español como debe ser el rock Pura Enería.......2005-03-12

Siempre me habia quejado de que en el Rock en Español las guitarras no sobresalian, de que no hay leyendas de la talla de Page, Beck, Clapton, Santana, Hendrix o Peter Green en nuestro rock. Felipe Staiti muestra en este disco que el si esta a la altura de los grandes, las guitarras son sobresalientes, hay muy buenos solos que no caen en el protagonismo, encajan muy bien en el contexto de la cancion. Bien por el Rock en Español hecho en America! Ahora me toca pedir un buen solo de bateria en un disco o DVD de Rock en Español. Este disco es uno de los mejores discos en vivo que tengo y definitivamente el mejor de rock en Español.

5 out of 5 stars Increible.......2004-12-21

Uno de los mejores discos en vivo. Los enanos demuestran que son la unica banda de rock latina que tiene talento no como otros (juanes, mana, la ley) Felipe demuestra que unos de los mejores latinos con una guitarra y la voz de Marciano no se afecta con la edad suena exactamente igual a como sonaba hace 10 años se los recomiendo yo habia perdido la fe en el rock en español este disco me la devolvio gracias enanos y que sigan rockiando

    Robertos Carlos is always something already expected, that romantic style, the good guy. But this CD have something very special and precious : the bonus track A VOLTA.

    A VOLTA is what could be ROBERTO CARLOS, not what he is, is a perfect and new interpretation for this almost 40 years song. His voice is perfect here and the arrangements is so delicate and sweet, the guitar .... it worth the bucks !!!
