It's one of the cruel ironies of music today that Billy Joel has been relegated to a kind of adult-contemporary hell, where his legacy is measured by soft-rock staples such as "Just the Way You Are," "Piano Man," and "New York State of Mind." To be sure, well-crafted ballads are a part of his legacy, but they're hardly the whole story, as this collection of his early and mid-period hits amply demonstrates. From the unbridled biographical boasting of "The Entertainer" and the ambitious storytelling of "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" to the careening abandon of "Only the Good Die Young" and the thoughtful social commentary of "Allentown," Joel was as complete an artist as the last three decades have produced. --Daniel Durchholz

4 out of 5 stars Billy Joel - A Decent Compilation.......2007-06-11

These days Billy Joel is often lumped in with Elton John as being remembered only for his top 40 radio hits and mushy ballads from the past several decades. Many people forget that like Elton, Joel put out some really strong albums in his early and mid-career. The guy was a songwriter's songwriter and not only could play a hell of a piano, but could be a very clever lyricist as well. Like Elton, Joel's output could be very inconsistent. For every "Goodnight Saigon" or "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" he wrote more throwaway stuff like "Uptown Girl" or "Tell Her About It". This two disc compilation captures all of his singles and some of his album tracks up to 1985. For the most part the material here is good, as you hear him move from an album oriented artist to a more commercial singles oriented one over the course of a little over a decade. The first disc is the best and starts out with some of the best cuts from his pre-superstar days. "Piano Man", "Captain Jack", "The Entertainer", and "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" are all great tracks and show a much different side of Joel than much of his later output. "The Stranger" is also included here. Although I was never crazy about the music or the chorus to this one, the lyrics are some of Joel's all time best. The rest of disc one starts dipping into Joel's big hit territory with the mush ballads "Just The Way You Are", and "She's Always A Woman" (written for his 1st wife who he would divorce not too many years later). The big hits "Only The Good Die Young" and "Moving Out" are also included. Disc two is not quite as strong. Three strong songs open the disc "My Life", "Big Shot" and "You May Be Right" all decent songs that got played to death on radio. Then it is back to mediocrity land with "It's Still Rock n Roll To Me" (I always think of the Weird Al Yankovic parody "It's Still Billy Joel To Me"), "Don't Ask Me Why", and "She's Got A Way". The best part of this disc is the three tracks from what is in my opinion Joel's strongest album "The Nylon Curtain". For this one Joel took a serious turn and came up with some really great songs. The 3 singles from the album are all represented here and they are all good ones. "Allentown" is a portrait of the Pennsylvania steel town after the industry pretty much pulled out. "Pressure" is another good one about the pressure of modern day life. "Goodnight Saigon" may be Joel's best all time work, and is a striking portrait of the Vietnam War. The last half of the CD covers Joel's Do Wop period with "Uptown Girl", "The Longest Time", and "Tell Her About It" (songs about his second wife whom he would eventually divorce). I am not much of a Do Wop fan so these don't do a lot for me. Two new (at the time) songs close the disc out and are pretty much both throw aways in my opinion. In the end this is a nice compilation of early Joel material. If you are looking for an overview this would be a good pick up.

Many "Greatest Hits..." albums and sets are lacking or down right suck. This set is great. The songs you want to hear the way you expect to hear them.

1 out of 5 stars WARNING: Not the Complete Versions.......2007-03-31

I don't often get "greatest hits" collections, preferring instead to buy original albums, but in this case I did, because there are a handful of Billy Joel songs I wanted in my collection, but I didn't want to invest enough to purchase all of his albums. Unfortunately, they don't tell you that what you get here, at least in some instances, are the "single" versions of these songs, not the full-length versions from the original albums. Case in point: One of my favorite Billy Joel songs is "Just the Way You Are," but the version on this set cuts an entire verse. I haven't done comparisons on all of the other songs, but if they'd pull that on this song, they probably did so on others as well. It's incomprehensible to me; if someone wants Billy Joel songs, the odds are that they want the complete songs, not truncated re-edits.

5 out of 5 stars I love it.......2007-01-11

I was familiar with a few of Billy Joel's songs, but I thought my disc collection would not be complete if I did not own a good sample of his material.
This product proposes a chronological approach and that suited me just fine. The two discs are loaded with all the classics. All of them wonderfully digitalized. I was able to appreciate the enormous range of Billy Joel. Great songwriter, great singer, great piano player. Although I am drummer, I do understand why people like him, or Sting, or Stevie Wonder, or Elton John, are on top of the music industry food chain. It is truly difficult to be able to master so many areas of music. And I am not talking about the performing, the band leading chores, the musical direction, production, publicity, all these extra skills to own in order to arrive where they are.
Getting one hit out is already a rare feat, but 35 or 40 like the ones presented in this compilation, require a truly great mind (something many one hit wonders wish to have).
I love this compilation. A great buy!

5 out of 5 stars Marvellous!.......2005-11-26

I don't play violin, and I can't even read music, but as a classical music amateur I find this CD outstanding. Even an incompetent like myself can easily understand why Perlman is regarded as one of the greates violinists ever. This is a marvellous collection of pieces. The rendition of "Chanson Russe" by itself is, in my opinion, worth more than the price of the CD. If you listen to the audio samples on Amazon's pages and you like violin you will surely understand why I like this CD so much. I am grateful to People like Perlman, who make this world a better place to live in.

5 out of 5 stars The best violinist ever!.......2001-01-26

All I can say to this CD is it's the best I've ever heard. In this CD, Itzhak Perlman truly demonstrates his best performances of the past years. I have always been a great admirer of Perlman, but since I own this CD, it's all I've listened to for the past three months. I myself play the violin and Perlman has become an inspiration to me, almost a musical idol. For any of those violinists out there, especially young musicians, who don't feel any excitement about playing the violin, listen to this CD and I promise you, you will strive to being able to play like this man does. He is truly the best musician I've ever known.

3 out of 5 stars Handel's Greatest Hits.......2007-02-26

I found this recording disappointing in many respects. The sound quality was much lower than expected, especially on track 7 "Largo" which on the origional, Ormandy had created such a quiet grandeur. In trach 11 "Let the Bright Seraphim" Wynton Marsalis overpowered the singing of Edita Gruberova, whereas the music should always be the backup of the singer, and not vice versa. I don't know what happened to the "Hallelujah Chorus," but it didn't come off very well at all.

...the music is one of the most authentic feelings from human soul...it says without words the real feeling of the composer and listener...enjoy this beautifyl music to serenate your spirit....thanks God for music..

5 out of 5 stars All Handel's Greatest Hits are not created equal........2004-02-25

Nothing else tops this unusually gorgeous rendering. Leppard's is the finest conducting of Handel to this reviewers ears. Especially the Xerxes Largo and the Watermusic
Hornpipes and Fireworks Oveurture tempi, legato and orchestration is full of warmth and energy. A true chiara scuro interpretation. Fabulous!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Could use more oratorical works, but nice intro to Handel.......2001-08-08

This collection of George Frideric Handel's "Greatest Hits" leans more heavily towards "The Water Music Suite" than his oratorical work, which is my only serious complaint about this CD as an introduction to the composer's work. Although is does have "See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes" from Judas Maccabaeus and ends with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir doing the "Hallelujah Chorus," it does not have "For Unto Us a Child is Born" from Messiah, which I consider a glaring omission. The "new" piece for me on this CD that is a nice discovery is "Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne (Eternal Source of Light Divine)," performed by Wynton Marsalis and the English Chamber Orchestra.

Album Description

Fantastic 2007 UK compilation that features all 23 tracks found on Ronstadt's original Greatest Hits (1976) and Greatest Hits, Vol. Two (1980). Although often overlooked today, Ronstadt was one of the most popular female vocalists throughout the '70s and '80s, helping to usher many musical styles (from Country Rock to New Wave) into the charts. Plus, she's a fabulous singer to boot! She successfully covered a variety of oldies like 'It's So Easy', 'Tracks Of My Tears' and 'Ooh Baby Baby' and managed to make them sound like Ronstadt originals! Features all the hits including 'You're No Good', 'Different Drum', 'When Will I Be Loved', 'Hurt So Bad', 'How Do I Make You' and many more. Rhino.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars NICE VALUE, TERRIFIC RONSTADT.......2007-06-19

Both of Linda's massive selling GREATEST HITS Lps have been released on one CD. This nice UK import is also nicely priced and contains some of Ronstadts best known songs. Like Connie Francis before her, Linda delved into reviving oldies and finding a formula that worked for her that would eventually lead her to branching out into other unexplored musical areas that make her a premier vocalist of her era and all time. Some of the more interesting cuts are the lesser known ones LOVE HAS NO PRIDE has the angst without resorting to cliche or soap opera. Her version of DESPERADO far exceeds the Eagles original cover. Then there are the great hits, YOU'RE NO GOOD, BLUE BAYOU and so many others.

A great 2 for 1 by the only female rocker of her era to "hold it together" as none equalled or surpassed her in her heyday.

Great nostalgia and a nice primer to search for her more adventurous works that she dabbled with on her Lps that listeners will be enticed to explore.

Terrific!

5 out of 5 stars "Best Harpsichord Recording".......2005-11-05

I have always loved the sound of the Harpsichord and for many years hearing poorly recorded or played Harpsichord this treasure is a must have. From the fine compositions to the good sound quality this CD is definately a keeper.
Plenty of music for a moderate price as well.

5 out of 5 stars Great.......2005-08-09

This CD is very very good just what I was looking for. I highly recommend this CD if you are planning on purchasing a Harpsicord CD, this one is the best.

4 out of 5 stars a must-have for harpsichord lovers.......2004-04-30

I love the sound of this most unusual instrument, the harpsichord. Especially the fast intricately melodic songs. Very enjoyable. This "Greatest Hits" includes many compositions perfectly suited to this wonderful old predecessor to the piano. There's even a little funny trivia thrown in: on the song sheet is written: Q:"what did the famous conductor Sir Thomas say that the harpsichord sounds like? A: "Like two skeletons screwing on a hot tin roof" :)

5 out of 5 stars keeno.......2001-01-08

This is a fun cd. BYRD, BULL, BACH ETC come through great Scarlatti bits sound like a flock of unhappy cows running of a field of burnt popcorn but those bits generally do unless played on the African Kalimba [or thumb piano] in Africa where I need not hear them.

This is a well engineered CD. Many featuring the harpsichord demand a level of equipment beyond that of any regular person with bills, which means this disk sounds just fine on a boom box. Everybody in the family will like some part of this disk `cept for the 13 year old whose lost to punk rock or hip hop.

5 out of 5 stars The Most Superb Harpsichord Sampler.......2000-07-27

I can't imagine a better sampler of harpsichord 'hits' played by one of the great stereo-era masters. A full complement of emotions is displayed here, from the most delicate and sparing texture to the most rip-roaring martial roar. If you're wondering what the harpsichord is about, or if you're already a fan and want a great sampler to play for your own delight and amusement, you cannot go wrong with this recording.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars One of my all time favorites.......2006-09-22

I first purchased this CD many years ago after hearing it on a local classical station. It has long been one of my favorite CDs, classical or otherwise. The tracks demonstrate what I consider to be some of the best of baroque music. I often listened to it on long car trips or when relaxing at home. Unfortunately, I lost my copy and have been looking for another. I certainly hope that it is re-issued in the near future. I highly recommend this CD for anyone interested in classical music. Or anyone that just likes to sit back and relax to the sound of a mellow classical piece.

5 out of 5 stars An Amazing Year.......2005-12-04

This Top 10 of 1720 is an awesome collection of fantastic songs. They are well-played; the sound is rich and sometimes haunting. The pieces are played slowly--they are long compared to most other albums with the same selections. For example, Albinoni's Adagio is 10:17 minutes long in this album. It's 8:24 on Essential Classics' "Baroque Masterpieces" (B00005YQL6) & 6:58 on The Eroica Trio's "Baroque" (B00002SWU0). However, Pachelbel's "Canon" is 5:40 here, 6:29 on "Baroque Masterpieces," and 4:28 on American Express' "Tranquil Seas." Perhaps my favorite selection though is Bach's "Air" BWV1068 which is 4:55 here but 4:03 on volume 2 (Bach) in the Masters of Classical Music collection (B000001VU5). This is, perhaps, the favorite album in my collection. Rivalled only by EMI Classics' Baroque Telemann, Concertos & Sonatas (B000002S5Z) and The Masterpiece Collection, volume 7: Baroque. Hopefully, the CD will become available again soon.

5 out of 5 stars I'm apparently not the only one..........2005-04-10

It's amusing and kind of comforting to see others, here, writing about childhood associations with this album. In cassette form, it was a staple of family car trips back in my '70s youth. But I'm pretty sure it's not just nostalgia that makes this collection a swell anytime listen.

I confess that I am not a classical expert. I've got a few Mozarts, a few Bachs, a few Beethovens, just enough to make my collection seem "respectable" should someone of culture take it upon themselves to browse. Sometimes one of those classical cuts pops up on my iTunes shuffle-play, and I appreciate it and all... but I can't say it quite moves me the way a good pop tune does.

That's where this record comes in. The title is apt: these are the hits -- the classical tunes you know, whether you realize it or not. They're not epic, they're not bombastic... they're evocative, downright catchy, human-sized numbers played crisply and well. They are the pop tunes of their day.

Highly recommended for newcomers to classical. And since it's also a favorite of my classical-obsessed parents, I guess experts appreciate it, too.

5 out of 5 stars absolutely the best for the last twenty-five years.......2005-01-16

This recording/collection came out before I was born, and my mother used the record to soothe me to sleep as an infant, later purchasing my own copy when I was a bit grown so that I could listen to it to fall asleep every night, even when I spent the summers away from home. I continued to listen to it until intermediate school, when sleep stopped troubling me, but the music was etched on my brain. Just hearing any one of the magnificent pieces on this recording puts me inmind of the others.
Now, years later and with chronic insomnia, I find that this albim (along with Richard Satie's work) is one of the few things that can soothe my fractious soul to relaxation and sleep.

I highly recommend it for any fans of classical music, and even for those with young children. It is simply some of the most beautiful music ever written.

5 out of 5 stars My absolute favorite LP and now CD.......2001-02-20

I first heard this LP when we were in Toronto in the 1980's. I LOVED it then and I bought the LP. Now I have the CD and listen to it often. I never tire of it. Absolutely wonderful to listen to (over and over again). It is a perfect gift to give to friends and relatives. It is "my soul's" music.

4 out of 5 stars Great Songs of the 50's and 60's.......2003-09-16

As the previous reviewer stated, these songs don't cover the 20th century of American music. If however, you enjoy the music of the 50's and 60's, especially doo wop, you will enjoy this CD. It contains 25 songs which are readily available on other CD's, and if you don't have already have them, this would provide you with great songs from this time period. To call the CD "The Millennium's Greatest Hits", however, is a stretch, because it contains nothing of Irving Berlin or George M. Cohan who would most certainly have songs included if the CD was truly "the millennium's greatest hits." However, songs such as Sherry, Happy Together, Earth Angel, Little Star, The Great Pretender, Blue Moon, My Girl, You Belong to Me, and Come Go With Me are some of the memorable songs that are included. Songwise, you won't be disappointed. However, if you expect earlier songs than the 50's, it would be best for you to try something else.

4 out of 5 stars Forget the Millennium Hype; These Are Great Songs.......2001-02-10

If you ignore the "millennium" hype of the title of this (so far) two volume series by Collectables, you get nearly seventy minutes of some of the best songs of the early rock 'n' roll era. [The earliest is 1954's doo-wop classic "Earth Angel"; the newest song is The Turtles' million-seller "Happy Together" from 1967.]

Like Volume One, there is a heavy emphasis on doo-wop, including such memorable songs as "Since I Don't Have You," "Little Star," "You Belong To Me," "There's a Moon Out Tonight." In fact, except for a handful of songs, these are all pre-Beatles Invasion hits. But that's not to diminish the power of the music included here. Just how great are these songs? In music critic Dave Marsh's wonderful book The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made, he includes seventeen of these songs (tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 24 and 25). If these songs are missing from your collection, this is a terrific disc to remedy that. My only knock on this is Collectables' lack of any meaningful liner notes or recording information. All you get is a track listing, the artist name and the label Collectables licensed these songs from. But what terrific songs! RECOMMENDED
