Uneven quality but great value.......2007-04-30
Brilliant Classics has found a niche with their extremely low-price multi-disc collections of the work of a single composer or performer. The Bach, Mozart and Chopin Complete Editions are legitimately considered to be artistic and economical triumphs. But the Masterworks series are more uneven. Currently available from Amazon France at about a buck per CD, they're still a bargain for those interested in quickly building a music library. But it's worth keeping a few things in mind. Unlike the Bach and Mozart Editions, these are not always historically informed performances. In this Mendelssohn set, the Hanover Band puts in a cameo (in Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage), but most of the ensembles use modern instruments, techniques and proportions. This doesn't always work out, as in the case of the ponderously heavy recordings of the String Symphonies by an apparently full complement of Gewandhausorchester Leipzig strings (Mendelssohn likely wrote these early works for a much smaller group). The caliber of the performances varies too, ranging from good to poor, and from marquis musicians such as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau to a few Dutch who-dats. The chamber musicians generally acquit themselves well (though the Octet recording is marred by an engineering flaw in the last movement, distortion, at least on my copy). But the symphonies suffer from some substandard performances, such as the Italian Symphony's live recording with not only audience noise but also ensemble flaws such as a distracting clarinet squeak in the first movement's recapitulation. Another strike is the lack of program notes. Brilliant's Complete Editions provide a booklet or CD-ROM with program notes, but here you'll need to do your own research.
Despite these shortcomings, this set is still good value (at least at Amazon France's current price of 31 Euros). And it's a fine way to become acquainted with Mendelssohn's music.
A superb collection of Mendelssohn.......2007-03-24
Let me preface this by saying that most of these works were not new to me - I own many other Mendelssohn CDs and have enjoyed his compositions for some time now. Also, this set is available much cheaper elsewhere, particularly from European retailers.
The symphonies are well-performed. 'Reformation' is an inspired live recording. The 12 string symphonies, written in Mendelssohn's youth, are also included. The concertos are exceptional - the violin concerto is as good as you'll find anywhere. The oratorios Elijah and Paulus are included, as well as the complete chamber works and a diverse assortment of choral works. The last few discs include the Lied ohne worte, the epic organ sonatas, and excellent renditions of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Fingal's Cave. While there are a few sketchy performances in the choral and chamber works, the performances and recordings are generally very solid, and the body of work couldn't be better.

They're Back!.......2007-06-17
Yes, they're back. The interesting thing about this band is that with every release, there's a line-up change to go along with it - But the All Out War sound remains. Sure, they're not much for variety. If you heard the first record, you've heard this one. But that's not really a bad thing 'cause if you liked the first one, then you're gonna like this one. Crushing!
Back to the old school..........2007-04-04
Let me tell you that I've been waiting very, very patiently for this album..."Condemned to Suffer" is probably my favorite album of the last decade, minus Kreator's "Enemy of God." That said, with this album, All Out War has gone back to the style of "For Those Who Were Crucified," which was decent, though I thought "Condemned" was a big improvement. "Assassins" is a solid album, though you might actually mistake it for "Crucified" if you don't know better. However, AOW is still the best hardcore band around (call it what you want), no question. It's worth the money. Definitely worth seeing live, too.

better than the original (possible spoilers).......2005-12-06
In the last decade or so, remaking classic movies has been on the incline. Though older generations criticize remaking these films, the newer generations are happy to see them with the latest theatrical technology. The remake I am going to be reviewing is called "The Manchurian Candidate". In my opinion, the remake is superior to the original. Though the acting was great in the original, I am more of a fan of Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep.
The synopsis of the movie is this: Captain Bennett Marco (Denzel Washington) and Sgt. Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber) were part of a platoon of soldiers kidnapped and brainwashed in Desert Storm. Ten years later, Shaw, a "war hero", runs for vice president while Marco, label paranoid by the government, eventually remembers being kidnapped and discovers that Shaw's mother (Meryl Streep) played a big part in the brainwashing. Bennett must now convince Shaw that the brainwashing really happened. Washington does a superb job as the hero; he isn't the flashy, perfect hero that we usually see in movies these days. Schreiber also does an excellent job in this movie as well. His character is the innocent victim. He is a good person but is under the control of his evil, power-hungry mother. Streep steals the show though. Her character is so manipulative and evil that is was just great to watch. The director, Jonathan Demme, does an excellent job guiding this movie along. The camera work that he utilizes really adds to the suspense of the film.
Overall, I think that any fan of suspense movies should go out to see this film. It is very creepy in the beginning and then gets better as you figure out what is going on. The actors all give an excellent performance and are lead by a great director.
"1962 plus the 2004 ~ Manchurian Candidate is a winner!".......2004-10-06
Varese Records presents two versions of "The Manchurian Candidate", both are excellent films with a great cast, directors and score that will leave you with something to think about.
The first "Manchurian Candidate" (1962/126 mins), Director John Frankenheimer featuring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, Angela Lansbury, James Gregory, John McGiver and Leslie Parrish in a cult favorite of Cold War Intelligence mixed with a political assassination attempt ~ Harvey's portrayal as a brainwashed soldier is believably effective, his stepfather James Gregory (Senator Iselin) as the not to bright politician is a scene stealer ~ Harvey's domineering Mother played by Angela Lansbury is an Academy Award performance, when she's on screen her evil schemes cut right through you ~ with composer David Amram throwing cues at you "QUEEN OF DIAMONDS", "SLIGHTLY MANCHURIAN BLUES" and "MESOPOTAMAN MAMBO...but my pick from this score is "THEME FROM THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, the jazz version is a sure-fire winner with over five minutes of great JAZZ!
Second score from "Manchurian Candidate" (2004/130 mins), Director Jonathan Demme featuring Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Liev Schrieber, Jon Voight and Kimberly Elise with an update of a classic thriller ~ Washington's facial and shifting eyes lends an intense factor to this remake, and it works ~ the score by Rachel Portman and Wyclef Jean with cues like "FORTUNATE SON" [instrumental], "MIND DRUGS", "DEEP IMPLANT BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION", "WHAT IF ALL THIS IS A DREAM?", "THERE ARE ALWAYS CASULATIES IN WAR" loaded with psychological-political themes and biting assassination spell-binding plots keeps you on the edge of your chair...presidential election mixed with mental illiness that Portman's score covers, as she crosses every "T" and dots all of the "I'z"...don't miss picking up this soundtrack...a must have for all "film-score-buffs" and collectors alike!

ISSUE RESOLVED ON THE EUPHRATES.......2005-06-19
One question I might find among the more difficult in my life would be - which is my favourite Handel oratorio? I suspect that my answer would generally be 'the one I heard most recently', and that, as I write this, is Belshazzar. It is a magnificent thing, a heavenly thing. It has taken me longer than it should have to come to an appreciation of what makes Handel the phenomenon - as a genius, as an artist, as a craftsman - that he is, but I am comforted to reflect that no less a genius than Haydn, at the age of nearly 70 gaining a more thorough knowledge of Handel in performance, was driven to say that he felt a mere apprentice. In his sense of how to pace a dramatic narrative, in his instinct for how to use the human voice in song and above all in chorus, in the matchless flexibility and adroitness he displays at word-setting and in the audacity of his melodic and harmonic effects I can think of nobody who can approach Handel on his own terms.
Belshazzar was not a great success at the box-office, although this may have had more to do with difficulties in the casting than because it was deemed insufficiently biblical for oratorio, which seems to have been the fate of Hercules. It seems to me to be perfectly well described as oratorio in other ways too, with (for one thing) the extensive use of the chorus that we find in, say, Samson but not in Hercules. The one passage that cries out for visual effects is of course the apparition of the moving finger itself. Even here the composer can go a long way with sheer power of suggestion, by the strange unaccompanied violin figure creeping upwards and the frightened brevity of the vocal numbers. Otherwise for me Belshazzar is as much an oratorio as Samson is. It has the same librettist too, the crusty and formidable Jennens, who had also collaborated with Handel on Saul and on Messiah itself. Jennens' full text is not provided, but I think if you read the synopsis first and then follow the work from the headlines to each number you will have no difficulty in catching the words, so clear is the enunciation by soloists and chorus alike. As usual, Handel was driven to make alterations to the score for practical reasons. He had been a little concerned about its length, roughly 2 hours and 50 minutes in this performance, but where he wishes to be expansive he gives us full measure - two arias in Act I scene 4 take well over 7 minutes each. The liner-essay (a good one, by Anthony Hicks) goes into the issue of the version of the score used here, and I personally have no problem with it.
I have no faults to find with the performance in any way. Pinnock is an established specialist, the instruments are period instruments and vocal cadenzas at the end of the arias are kept minimal. Anthony Rolfe Johnson, James Bowman and David Wilson-Johnson are tried and trusted Handel singers and at their best here, and Nicolas Robertson and Richard Wistreich in the smaller parts are every bit as good. The part of Cyrus is a soprano part, taken by Catherine Robbin, and when I thought I heard just one touch of strain in `Destructive War' in the final scene she makes up for it instantly in her superb duet with Arleen Auger in the following number. Auger as Nitocris the mother of Belshazzar has the biggest part, and she covers herself with glory all the way through.
The recording is perfect, and when I saw an aria entitled `Destructive War, thy limits know' near the end I felt a sharp sense of irony in the year 2005. Cyrus, Handel, Jennens, you should all have been living at this hour.
Enjoiyable, but lacking, too........2004-08-16
This 3CD set of George Frederic Handel's (1685-1759) "Belshazzar", from Archiv Production, a division of Universal Music, is proof again that transfer from vinyl to tape to disc brings with it improvements in listening that make the purchase a worthwhile addition to anyone's listening library. Written in 1744, "Belshazzar" is an oratorio in the operatic style that is wonderful oratorio, but lacking the true depth one expects to hear in an opera. London opera audiences of Handel's day agreed, as both "Belshazzar" and Handel's other offering of the period in the same style, "Hercules", were not terribly successful. Instead of the scheduled 24 performances only 16 were given and Handel never offered a full season of oratorio again. The Libretto by Charles Jennens (1700-1773) is, as the production notes say, meant "not only to show the fall of Babylon but to show it as a fulfillment of divine prediction and to confirm the biblical testimony by reference to classical history." There's only one problem, as good a quality as the CDs are, it is not possible to follow the full libretto and the accompanying booklet includes no text, which is a shame. I think the listening experience would have been increased immeasurably if one was able to follow the text of what is being sung. Nonetheless the dramatic narrative is fluid and even, and the English Concert and Choir provide nice balance to the less full vocal passages, as in Disc 3s "Oh Glorious prince", cut 10. There is enough of this throughout to keep one's interest, but disappointing if what one expects is another ""Messiah".

Have any of u heard this cd?.......2005-12-27
People worship Earth Crisis for two reasons.
1. They're not "mainstream"
2. They promote veganism
People who worship Earth Crisis have at least these two traits.
1. They're rich and in mid teens
2. They think it's a sin to be succesful (like mainstream pop bands)
People who give these guys five star reviews either have never heard this CD, or they don't care about how awful the music sounds. There is nothing in this CD to appeal to your ears. It's raw and devoid of talent.

This is a must have for any Earth Crisis fan. It is their debut recording, and in the tradition of first release/demos, it has a very simple production and lots of minor mishaps in the recording. More importantly, this delivers, head on and in your face, the Earth Crisis message of fighting for innocent life.
Good, but not THAT good.......2000-04-23
I like Earth Crisis. They got me into the whole Straight-Edge scene. But this CD is lacking something. It is raw and powerful, but at the same time it seems almost too raw, to the point of unmotivated. Their message is powerful and aspirative, and it's very apparent in this release. But the music just leaves something to be desired. Good if you like the message, average if you like the music.
Its a good cd if you love straight edge hardcore music.......1999-10-31
Earth Crisis is the best straight edge hardcore band around. There cds are always good to listen to over and over again. This is there best cd and its there first album they put out.
Yikes!!!.......1999-09-02
Although this early recording by this Vegan-core band out of Syracuse is laden with slightly militant overtones, I see Earth Crisis as basically attempting to do some good in this world. They helping people become more socially conscious and just make you think more. If you can see past the anger in Karl's voice and the pounding guitar riffs, then you will be impressed by the sincerity of the message. Powerful, indeed! --Kelly Magovern

Music from 15th Century Germany.......2005-06-09
Some of this music is familiar - in fact six tracks are licensed - from a budget CPO disc by the Hedos ensemble. Though the emphasis here is more on Germany not so much the whole of Europe. I hadn't heard Il Curioso before but they strike me as similar to the Unicorn Ensemble also found on Naxos.
There are two similarly titled CDs
8.557138 Music from the Time of Tillman Riemenscheider
8.558145 ART AND MUSIC - Riemenscheider Music of His Time
The latter disc has an extra four tracks [30]-[33] sampled from relevant releases by the Oxford Camerata. It also has a chronology of Riemenscheider's life and photos of some of his sculptures. Unfortunately it has no sung texts. I cannot comment on whether 8.557138 also has no sung texts as I haven't seen it.

Album Description
New York's ALL OUT WAR is a punishing display of the aggression of hardcore crossed with the brutality of metal while avoiding the shortcomings of both genres. To get a taste of ALL OUT WAR's musical style, envision Slayer's "Reign In Blood" colliding head on with "Age of Quarrel" era Cro-Mags. Two styles as different as they come, but ALL OUT WAR combines the two to form a Crossover attack unmatched by today's standards. While so many bands are creating a diluted mixture of Metal and Hardcore, ALL OUT WAR brings you their brand of Crossover in the tradition of bands like NUCLEAR ASSAULT, CRUMBSUCKERS, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and S.O.D.. "Condemned To Suffer", their first record in five years, will once again solidify ALL OUT WAR's position as one of the most brutal bands - period. With their trademark social commentary on such diverse subjects as the Holocaust, ecocide and the degradation of the hard music scene, one will be hard pressed not to feel the effects of this record. "Condemned To Suffer" is destined to be a Crossover classic and the album that could very well bring the genre back to life.

ok.......2006-03-20
ok cd, nothing significant about it either. Same ol brutal Metal that 1/2 a billion other bands are trying to do.
Metal may be king, but your TRIPPIN>>>>.......2005-07-17
You know, this disc transcendes the genre. It is SOOOO hard, yet Mike Scores vocals seem to be a bit crisper and more decipherable than their previous efforts. I LIKE an album that kicks your teeth down your throat and punches you in the gut like this one. If metal truly is king, than All Out War is the kings plunder. The new to All Out War crowd may want to start with (For those who were crucified). But if your want it hard, you got it here. Just know what your in for...
How Much Screaming Can You Take?.......2005-07-03
I bought this CD because it came with a sticker that said All Out War was similar to bands I started listening to in the 1980's, like Nuclear Assault. Was I in for a disappointment. Bands like Nuclear Assault were fast and heavy, but they also had a sense of dynamics in their sound. When you listened to a Nuclear Assault album, all of the songs sounded different. All of the songs on CONDEMNED TO SUFFER sound pretty much the same.
Musically, All Out War are similar to Slayer. Their vocalist - if you want to call him that - just screams at the top of his lungs on every songs. There's nothing dynamic in his approach. I was worn out after listening to six or seven songs.
True Crossover is C.O.C., D.R.I., the Crumbsuckers, the Cro-Mags, early Suicidal Tendencies, Sacrilege B.C., and S.O.D. All Out War doesn't come close to being anything like those bands.
Maybe the best hardcore album ever made..........2005-03-12
Call it "crossover," or whatever you want, but "Condemned to Suffer" is easily one of the best metal-influenced hardcore albums ever made, end of story. I've listened to it at least twice a week since it was released and it never gets old. It's brutal, but more importantly original. Buy it now!
Hard to Pin Down.......2004-11-03
This is definitely a brutal album. It's not the most brutal I've ever heard (see "Brutality is Law" by Severed Savior or "Dechristianize" by Vital Remains), but it does deliver a formidable aural assault that punishes the listener from the get-go and doesn't let up. If these guys are slotted into the genre of "metal-core," they certainly know their craft. They really slam the riffs and grooves home with unbridled ferocity and precision.
I say the album is hard to pin down because lyrically, it's all over the place. It comes off like a concept album akin to Cradle of Filth's "Damnation and a Day," although it's not nearly as sympathetic to The Devil character nor is it as poetic, for that matter. It's also isolated to the events of the book of Revelation, whereas "Damnation" covered the entire span of the world's biblical (and by that I mean MYTHICAL) past, present, and future. What makes it confusing are songs like "Two Thousand Years" which comes off like an indictment of religion and all the evil it has wrought in the world. But most of the other songs, such as "Rise of the Anti-Christ" seem to have a christian slant to them. Considering the imagery created by the lyrics and their throat-piercing delivery, it makes me wonder if these guys don't suffer from some sort of guilt-complex brought on by a strict baptist and/or catholic upbrining. And it's hard to nail down whether or not they're preaching, or simply trying to tell a story.
Depending on your beliefs, this cd might leave a bad taste in your mouth, you may love it, or as in my case, you may be left just scratching your head (after you've banged it, of course).
