4 out of 5 stars Wins, but does not demolish.......2007-07-09

This album is a very healthy 4 stars. I just didn't quite feel it enough for 5 stars but it got close. The later part of the album is weaker, and that pulled it down. If the album had kept up the pace of the first half, it coulda had 5. Here are good songs:

Walking a Way a Winner - this title track has great spirit and optimism.

Streets of Your Town

Maybe She's Human - hubby should realize wife has troubles too

Clown in Your Rodeo

Nobody's Gonna Rain on Our Parade - great beat and great feeling. The singer and her lover will do as they please without worrying about the world's opinion.

4 out of 5 stars Walking Away a Winner.......2007-02-14

This is a good CD overall, but there is no outstanding song on it. I always enjoy Kathy Mattea, because she consistently picks good material and delivers it with feeling.

5 out of 5 stars Just Wonderful.......2001-12-28

This is one of her best ablums. Including the more upbeat songs "Walking Away A Winner" and "Clown in Your Rodeo." This also includes some of her ballads, where you can hear this singer's voice at its best. Including "Who Turned Out The Light" and "Who's Gonna Know."
One of my favorite songs on this ablum is "Nobody's Gonna Rain On Our Parade," which did not do very well good on the charts, but I feel is a lot better than many songs on the charts today. If you like country-pop I recommend this ablum. Mattea definetly sticks to her country roots, but there is also some pop included in some of these songs. These songs are not like Faith Hill's of Shania Twain's - who are good artists, but do not have a voice like Kathy's. Kathy Mattea is my favorite country singer, she has such a beautiful voice. So if you like Kathy Mattea or country in general, I recommend this ablum.

5 out of 5 stars A Winner.......2001-07-20

Kathy Mattea is one of the best talents in country music, and its a shame she doesn't get recognition. This is a excellent album. I think of it as a sign of the times in many ways. Kathy has always spoke from her heart, and what she's singing was true to issues happening that year, the joys of being a woman, the hardships, problems everyday people face. Plus the album contains two of her best songs (in my opinion) which are "Walking Away A Winner" and "Nobody's Gonna Rain On Our Parade". All of the songs here are excellent and Kathy's voice just keeps getting better with each album, like fine wine. I reccomend this if you are tired of the cookie cutter sound of country music, and want something that goes beyond trying to be pop crossover material, but quality music.

5 out of 5 stars A Real Winner.......2001-02-14

O.K. now I will admit that I have not listened to this album in a while but I am going to write a review because I feel this is a very well rounded album, and a well written album. The title track and first single, "Walking Away A Winner" is just the right song with just the right amount of positiveness that you have to cheer for Kathy and her voice goes so well with the song and it helps that the video is funny and memorable. However the next single to be released is by far the premiere song on this album "Nobody's Gonna Rain On Our Parade" this is probably one of my favorite country songs and on this song her voice could not get any better, this song is just terrific and is one of her singature songs, but like I have said before this song did not make the top 10 how in the world it stop just shy of the top 10 is ridiculous hitting #12 if memory serves and it is another underappreciated song from one of the best albums from an artist. "Clown In Your Rodeo" is another favorite of mine on this album. All in all this is Kathy at her best and I also own "Love Travels" which should have done alot better in my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars Ensemble Galilei's music is lilting, elegant and unexpected!.......2002-11-29

With their soulful playing and artful, sometimes even ephemeral arrangements, the six women of Ensemble Galilei convey a rare depth of emotion. In the insert notes, gamba player Carolyn Ann Surrick describes their creative process: "[In making this recording, we engaged in]...a kind of work that is so focused and intense that years can go by in one afternoon... Extraordinary music-making requires trust... [We] live for the times when the only thing that exists right then is the music--when the instruments are speaking as if we don't exist, and they are having their own conversation." Thank you, Ensemble Galilei, for allowing the rest of us the privilege of coming along for the ride! It's simply delectable. This chamber ensemble, featuring fiddle, harp, gamba, oboe, pipes and percussion, can also be heard on their other Telarc release, "From the Isles to the Courts", and "The Mystic and the Muse: Celebrating 600 Years of Women in Music", on the Dorian label.

5 out of 5 stars beautiful.......2001-01-22

Sheer beauty, as a lover of English music I found this to be one of the most beautiful of all Shakespearean albums. Such harmony, such subtlety, one wishes that the gentle night will never stop.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2001-01-04

Ensemble Galilei provide some excellent arrangements of English renaissance compositions. I believe that John Playford (English Dancing Master) fans will be particularly satisfied with the renditions presented here. It is very unfortunate that E.G. did not provide more arrangements from such early music sources. Some of E.G.'s own compositions seem very weak and not in the renaissance spirit of the rest of the CD. Nonetheless, this CD is highly recommmended.

5 out of 5 stars It will bring about many gentle nights.......2000-11-22

I found this album to be solid. Very sweet, but not afraid to use percussion which makes it livelier and more fun. I adore the quiet, peacefulness of the music and the flawless execution of these renaissance songs.

5 out of 5 stars Visualizing Beauty.......2000-08-20

I recently had the good fortune to direct a performance of King Lear--the ENTIRE five acts, in a community theatre, non-profit setting. I used twenty-four fully committed non-actors, who for the love of the ideas, participated in this performance. The first and main challenge that I faced was, how do I go "behind" the words, and invoke the right emotions, etc., to give these actors the range and tools needed for an effective, powerful performance? Critical to this performance was the beauty and brilliance of this recording, which I used throughout the various scenes of the play. This helped the performers tremendously, creating the different tapestries in the mind of the Bard. In short, this work is real genius, that I was so happy that I stumbled across. I am now putting in our performance programs, along with our most heart-felt thanks to E.G., the name of the recording and I have copies from Telarc to sell at each performance!

    You don't hear many live Christmas records, but then it's seldom you get as many operatic powerhouses under one Austrian town-hall roof with a full orchestra and large children's choir. Placido Domingo (who dominates the proceedings with his commanding tenor), Britain's own Sarah Brightman, Belgian Helmut Lotti, and Italy's Richard Cocciante raise the roof on this international gala recording from 1997 under the skilled baton of Steven Mercurio and choir master Elizabeth Ziegler. Chief among the performances during this black-tie event are the Domingo-Cocciante duet of "Walking in the Air," Brightman's chilling "First of May," (the Bee Gees song) and a strange medley of European-American songs, traditional and pop, ranging from Roger Whittaker and John Lennon and Yoko Ono to Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson and a handful of traditional Welsh, German, and Spanish works, plus that Yank standard "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." For button-down audiences only who still can appreciate pop songs in expanded and exploded arrangements. --Martin Keller

    Excellent Christmas music with some very good vaiety of voice and composition.

    I am a great fan of Helmut Lotti. This particular recording is one my husband I already own and enjoy. We purchased this one for our adult daughter. Each of the performers on this disk are first rate and the recording as a whole is well worth adding to one's holiday pleasures.

    5 out of 5 stars Great for Christmas Time!!.......2004-02-26

    Beautiful concert, with a lot of Spirit, Sarah Brightman voice is wonderful, this 4 singers give soul to the concert, is great for christmas time, I love this CD & also the DVD amazing..

    5 out of 5 stars Still my favorite Christmas album.......2004-01-08

    I read all the other reviews and just had to add my thoughts. This is still my favorite Christmas album after listening to it for 5 seasons now. I can hardly wait for next Christmas so I can enjoy it all over. Sarah Brightman is wonderful of course - wish I could find a separate recording of - First Of May - , wow! If you like good Christmas music and the spirit of Christmas you will enjoy this album.

    1 out of 5 stars humorously horrible.......2002-12-24

    This album is so wretched it made me laugh. In the store I looked at the artists and the songs and thought it would provide nice holiday music. I put it on when I got home and wondered if maybe Spike Jones had slipped in some joke tunes. I can't believe these people sound so bad. Sure, some of the numbers are very nice, but then you split a gut laughing at the others--or worse, cringing.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent performer.......2007-03-09

    This plates are wonderful. I was charmed, and when I close my eyes now, I see scenes with American in Paris or Porgy and Bess but my favorite piece of music is Rhapsody in Blue. It's more than excellent is fantastic. Jack Gibbons perfectly feels the unique tone Gershwin's music, the mixture rythms of jazz with influences of impressionists and clear and beauty melodies.
    I'm fascinating.

    5 out of 5 stars A unique project.......2006-11-23

    Gibbons' undertaking is unique: to reconstruct and then execute and record the note-for-note playing of Gershwin as documented on the composers' piano rolls, sound recordings and certain published arrangements. I agree with the reviewer who points out that the result is like a library and not a recital you sit back and listen to (or get up and dance to). In fact Gibbons does some editing of his "library" now and then, and clearly documents it in his liner notes: in some reconstructions he augments accompaniment effects and even the melodic line itself. I don't mind that at all, especially as Gibbons scrupulously accounts for such tampering in his liner notes; but it seems to me that it is in this area of "tampering" that Gibbons the artist is asserting himself...which of course undermines the "library", the "historical archive": you have to search and read a bit to find out when you're hearing only Gershwin and when you're hearing some added Gibbons. I don't mind; Gibbons is a remarkable artist in his own right, not merely an impeccable documentarian. For sheer generosity of production Gibbons' Gershwin must also be unique: 4 cd's, scholar-level liner notes (yes, you need a magnifying glass to read them), and rock-bottom bargain price.

    5 out of 5 stars Gershwin historical, manic, perfect, archival.......2006-06-12

    First: this is 4 high-end produced cd's (in low-end jewel cases) for the price of 2. The liner notes of all 4 cd's are condensed in a booklet of microscopic print, so you may need to spend the savings on a magnifying glass. MONEY WELL SPENT.
    Second: Jack Gibbons plays (and has recorded) the Alkan op 39 etudes (he probably plays a lot more Alkan than that). For those of you not in the know, this is to say he has world-class chops, indeed history-class (Liszt, who never played his friend Alkan, at least in public). But it's also to say that Gibbons knows how to interpret and personalize fantastically difficult piano music. For me, his Alkan op 39 is personal and passionate and real (contrast the facile and over-pedalled Hamelin and the just-the-notes-ma'me Ringeissen). An appreciation of Gibbons' Alkan is important here because while his Alkan is uniquely personal (as such music must be, no matter how hard it is to play) his Gershwin is deliberately impersonal...which is to say: no pianist, no singer would want to reproduce what Gibbons has given us in these 4 cd's, and in fact few listeners will be able to listen for long to these 4 cd's without a respite, a break , some silence, some minimal styling from somebody (anybody) else...which brings me to
    Third: This is an archive, not a recital. This is a library, not a program. There is no track-by-track contrast of moods here, no track-by-track concession to easy listening, varied delight, any more than a library shelf of novels is alphabetized by authors' last names as a concession to mood or fancy or taste of the searching patron. This is the documented Gershwin in his recording mode: manic, notey, clever, "on", and never, as generations of stylists found in him, ravishing, tender, longing, sweet, glad, hopeful...person-to-person, in a word. I can listen to these cd's about half an hour at a time, max. This is Gerwhsin, not Gibbons. And this is just one side of Gershwin. He died at 38, in the summer. Brain tumor. A lot of pain.
    Finally, Jack Gibbons has given the world a uniquely valuable and easily available resource. Gibbons could now do us a service by playing us some Gershwin as he feels it, as it hits him and makes him sing (as Gershwin, our American Schubert, does to all of us, and as I think Alkan has done to Gibbons). I would love to see a Gershwin stylings by Gibbons now that Gibbons himself has made sure Gershwin in his authenticity is safe and sound.

    5 out of 5 stars Definative.......2005-07-23

    Here's the whole Gershwin catalog at a great price... Five plus hours of bliss. Definately five stars!

    Gibbons, according to a family friend and biographer Edward jablonski "recreates Gershwin's style." I'll never know. I can say this is a lively recording and has the perfect balance. It's neither stuffy and plodding or cute.

      5 out of 5 stars Every last note..........2006-06-14

      A super budget 5 CD collection of all of Grainger's Piano music.
      Every last note!
      The shipping alone would be $17.00+ for the 5 individual Cds.
      Englishman Martin Jones plays these as if he wrote them. He is thoroughly inside this music.
      I think his best work to date.
      He is joined on CD #5 by Richard Mcmahon and Phillip Martin. Where they rollick in various combos and trios on 1, 2 and 3 pianos. This is exhilerating. Especially on an truly uplifting version of Green Bushes.
      The entire set is strongly idiomatic and given a clear, crisp, warm and spacious recording. FIRST CLASS sound.
      There are too many highlights to single out, but the In A Nutshell Suite and Green Bushes are especially GOOD!
      There is not a bad note or "vibe" on any of these CDs.
      Highly recommended for Granger fans and fans of English Piano Music.

      5 out of 5 stars EXQUISITE ! DELIGHTFUL !.......2006-01-22

      What a wonderful collection of excellently performed and acoustically marvelous music -- rousing, contemplative, romantic, cheery - some of which were the long-remembered and not-often-heard-now favorite songs of my childhood and youth.

      Make sure you read the enclosure that is tucked away into the front cover of this CD -- written in 3 languages, it proides little-known informatin about some of these wonderful tunes and their composers, and the illustrations throught the booklet are also a very nice touch.

      Listening to this CD can be an intoxicating experience - what delightful selections all on one CD! From Gershwin to Gould, from Anderson to Sousa and more - a lovely Broadway tune (from Carousel), and the old familiar Arkansas Traveler as well, (and even a little barking and whistling on "The Whistler and His Dog"!) this eclectic collection of pieces was artfully and unforgettably performed, much to my great enjoyment. Although this was the first time I ever heard the New London Orchestra perform, you can be sure that now I will look for other recordings of theirs. I also plan to buy another copy so I can play it in my cubicle (quietly when at work, but LOUDER when I am by myself -- hee hee!!).

      What more can I say? I love this CD with its remarkable collection of songs!!!

      5 out of 5 stars Good for all collections.......2000-12-09

      Well, here is an English orchestra recording pieces that some American orchestra should have done long ago. This is music to have fun with and much to my delight was a piece that I have only heard on a 10 inch LP. That is Sym 5 1/2 by Don Gillis. This is one of the best light pieces written in the 20th Century by an American, but sadly little performed. Buy it just for the Gillis piece and consider all the others as frosting on the cake. Take a break from Wagner and Glass and get this one and the three CD's of British Light Music. Just enjoy. Aloha..

      5 out of 5 stars A Disc that is a good time all by itself!.......1999-05-17

      This recording is the kind that some American "Pops" Orchestras should be making. Most of these light classics are ones that the Boston Pops have recorded before, but I don't think have been done as well as Mr. Corp and the New London Orch., have done them. This disc is a real treat and I hope just the first of many. We as Americans need to rediscover our musical works.

      4 out of 5 stars An excellent compilation of light American classics.......1998-12-09

      British composers are well known for writing for the "Proms" concerts that feature light symphonic fare. There is much less American music in the same vein as Eric Coates, Edward German and Ronald Quilter, but conductor Ronald Corp has unearthed some real treasures on this disc of mostly short, light pieces. Amazon's listing doesn't include two of the best selections on the disc, Richard Rogers' Carousel Waltz and Don Gillis entertaining Symphony 5 1/2, subtitled "Symphony for Fun." It's a real crowd pleaser, and the fine sound on the recording is a good match for the entertaining repertoire.
