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.

Richard Galliano is a renowned jazz accordionist and innovator of musette, early-20th-century Parisian dance-hall music. He indeed brings a French touch to this album of jazz improvisation--along with a Brazilian, American, and Italian one. The result is an interesting collaboration among Galliano, saxophonist Michel Portal, drummer Daniel Humair, and the late bassist J.F. Jenny-Clark. Skipping between Miles Davis-influenced bop and Brazilian samba, the music here is rich in thriving rhythms laced with balmy French romanticism. --Karen Karleski

5 out of 5 stars A Splendid Souvenir to Remember a Spectacular Performance!.......2003-10-30

Having been fortunate to have seen the English National Opera's production in 1988 of "Orpheus" with Wilson and Pountney's outrageously naughty English text, this highlight CD serves as an audio souvenir. Too bad the ENO didn't have the foresight to film the production-would have made a great DVD. The CD booklet does have a few photos of the sets designed by Gerald Scarfe (who also designed Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album artwork) so you get a taste, combined with the CD selections, of what the production was like.

5 out of 5 stars god moves in a peculiar way.........i am god.............2002-01-17

Offenbach is great anyhow, but this recording is riotous. The translation into English is first-rate, really funny stuff, and the singing is pretty good, too. Very worthwhile.

5 out of 5 stars Orpheus in the Underworld.......2000-03-17

The rewritten lyrics, in English, are some of the wittiest and wicked in operetta. Wilson and Pountney have recaptured the spirit of naughtiness, not a small accomplishment in our licentious times. Though delighted to have the highlights, I wished a CD set or video of the full production were available.

4 out of 5 stars Excerpts.......1999-12-23

This is a collection of excerpts. It is in English and is quite good. The performance of the entire operetta has been discontinued and it is a pity.

5 out of 5 stars Highlights or total Opera?.......1999-11-01

I would like to know if this is highlights from the opera or the total opera.

      5 out of 5 stars "Bateman & Temple...double the listening pleasure".......2001-06-29

      Paul Bateman and "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" extend their listening pleasure with this latest release ~ "Shakespeare At The Movies"...backed by the world renown "Crouch End Festival Chorus" led by their Choir Master - David Temple. Also appearing...Kenneth Alwyn and Nic Raine to this already "blue-ribbon" 2-CD-Set of the finest music ever to grace the big screen.

      Composers who's who is the marquee'...Miklos Rozsa & Sir William Walton from the '40s & '50s...Michael J. Lewis, Nino Rota, Dimitri Shostakovich from the '60s...John Scott from the '70s...Craig Armstrong, Patrick Doyle, Pietro Mascagni & Stephen Warbeck from the '80s, '90s & 2000...each sharing their God-given-talent with the masses, the love of film scoring.

      Must mention a highlight in this awesome collection..."ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA" (1972), haunting in content, mixed with heavenly voices and a wonderful flute solo, strings sweeping as a flowing breeze centering around the brass section...over six minute suite in length...composed, arranged and orchestrated by John Scott...conducted by Nic Raine, excels with a love theme pouring generously in each measure, followed by passionate counterpoint, overlayed with a veil of sweet melody.

      The entire collection is a film-score-buffs "pot of gold", just waiting at the end of your rainbow...powerful, overwhelming and outstanding performances from all who contributed...James Fitzpatrick (Producer) never fails with each endeavor, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Paul Bateman, Rickie Clark and Nic Raine (associate producers)...you might try other albums from Silva, all worthy of a good listen ~ "Crimson Pirate:Swashbucklers Of The Silver Screen" (SSD-3009)..."The Mark Of Zorro" (SSD-3010)..."Cinema Century 2000" (STD-5023)..."Alien Invasion:Space & Beyond 2" (SSD-1083)..."Space 3:Beyond The Final Frontier" (SSD-1112)..."Cinema's Classic Romances" (SILKD-6018)..."Bond Back In Action 2" (SSD-1119)

      4 out of 5 stars Best Comprehensive Survey of Canadian Music Available.......1999-01-19

      This anthology of three Centuries(!) of Canadian music was assembled by a former producer from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation who now works for Naxos Canada. This producer is also active in the Canadian music world, so he knows whereof he speaks (or selects, as in this case). Liscensing the best performances available from major Canadian and International labels, this is the best collection of, and introudction to, the entire Canadian music scene that I have ever come across. The booklet is informative and is as enjoyable a read as is the 2 CD set is to listen. I doubt there will ever be anything quite like it again. If only NAXOS would now start recording Canadian music on top of the Canadian artists they already record, than they will truly have one of the finest and most comprehensive classical catalogues in the world. As for now, don't pass this one up.

      5 out of 5 stars Munch's excellece with the French repertoire.......2006-01-27

      The Alsatian conductor Charles Munch (1902-1968) led the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1949 to 1962, succeeding the Russian-born conductor and teacher Serge Koussevitsky. Munch excelled in the French repertoire throughout his career and this RCA Victor disc features four excellent examples of his abilities with this unique music.

      There is indeed a "French touch" in classical music, a certain amount of elegance, wit, and brilliance that requires a gifted hand to be successful. Munch was one of those rare conductors who could definitely bring out the best in the Boston Symphony, making an American orchestra sound more French than could be expected.

      Munch, who founded the Orchestra of Paris near the end of his life, was chosen by RCA Victor to make its very first commercial stereophonic recording, in early 1954, of Hector Berlioz's "The Damnation of Faust." For the next eight years, Munch and the Boston Symphony made numerous recordings in RCA's remarkable "Living Stereo" process, which were made in Boston's historic Symphony Hall with a triple-track tape recorder and three microphones. The recordings first appeared in stereo on reel-to-reel tapes, while most listeners heard them on conventional high fidelity discs. Finally, in 1958, RCA began releasing stereo discs, relying on four years of stereo tapings.

      This compilation begins with Paul Dukas' greatest work, his musical telling of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," inspired by the Goethe poem that was itself inspired by an ancient legend of an Egyptian sorcerer who lived underground and enjoyed bringing inanimate objects to life. In this case, the sorcerer used a broom to fetch water. His apprentice, or assistant, had been watching and, after his master had departed, he was able to duplicate the feat. However, the apprentice soon discovered he did not know how to stop the broom, which continued to bring water, flooding the room. In desperation, the sorceror hacked the broom to bits, only to have the bits form new brooms with hands carrying more buckets filled with water. Only the return of the sorcerer himself prevented total disaster and, of course, he promptly disciplined the sorcerer.

      Dukas' music closely follows the story and even the rhythms of Goethe's poem. In Munch's hands, the full drama of the story is presented with great intensity and finesse. He brings out the full mystery and intrigue of the musical tale. The growing flood can be visualized with the powerful playing of the Boston Symphony. This is definitely one of the greatest performances of this work and, unlike the familiar Stokowski recording for Walt Disney's "Fantasia," it is presented uncut.

      Less familiar on this disc is Camille Saint-Saens' "Omphale's Spinning Wheel," a symphonic poem that depicts the legendary Hercules' humiliation for disobeying divine authority. He is put to work as a servant for a queen, who forces him to dress as a woman and to work endlessly at a spinning wheel. Saint-Saens' music is also mysterious and haunting; one clearly senses Hercules' humiliation as the music spins relentlessly, with no end in sight. This performance vies with Leonard Bernstein's later recording as one of the best recorded. The Boston strings particularly excel in the recording.

      Maurice Ravel's delight in children and children's tales is wonderfully represented by his ballet "Mother Goose." This is the suite, which omits the introduction and interludes heard in the full score. It is magical, delightful music, representing several of the traditional fairy tales that have delighted children of all ages for many years. Munch brings out the best in this lushly-orchestrated music.

      Finally, there is a real rarity: Cesar Franck's "The Accursed Huntsman." Here is a story of a man who dares to go haunting on a Sabbath and is pursued by demons as punishment. This 1962 performance was one of Munch's last recordings with the Boston Symphony. I first heard it on the original RCA Victor LP, in which it was coupled with Ernest Chausson's symphony. I have heard a few other recordings of this music and none have come close to the intensity that Munch achieved. The sound, of course, is exceptionally good and it remains a truly high fidelity achievement. The famous Boston Symphony chimes, used particularly in Munch's performances and recordings of Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique," are yet another more factor in this incredible performance.

      5 out of 5 stars Another rotund success of this baton 's genius!.......2006-01-11

      There have been supreme performances about these well recognized Ravel 's works. But there are two unsurpassed factors that assure this one as the most expressive, warm and sumptuously lyric performance of My mere you had heard ever; the presence of The idiosyncratic Boston Symphony, the most European of the American Orchestras and by addition, the successful podium by the Alsatian master: Charles Munch, this magisterial combination feeds back by itself and truly was a true blessing this winning blending has worked out with such perfection level.

      On the other hand Cesar Franck 's work is simply unique. The only version that could be named as its rival would be Artur Rodsinzki.

      Acquire this CD without dilation, because Munch 's grandness has been proved so many times and to talk about the sound of this sidereal Orchestra under Koussevitzky, Munch and Leinsdorff is now part of an incandescent chapter in the glorious background of the Great Music.

      5 out of 5 stars Great compilation.......2000-09-04

      The RCA Living Stereo series has several outstanding efforts by Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony: discs headlined by Berlioz' Symphony Fantastique, Saint-Saens'Organ Symphony and Ravel's Bolero. This selection is every bit as good. The same verve that characterizes those performances is found here. Indeed, you'd be hard pressed to find more energetic performances of any of the works on this disc.
