Sublime is the only word for it. We're talking about the voice of countertenor Andreas Scholl--and you will be talking about it too, between many repeat plays of this outstanding disc, which deserves to win whatever awards are given this year for vocal performance. Although this magnificent program of German Baroque cantatas for solo voice and various accompaniments (including viols, lute, and harpsichord) has much to offer purely on the strength of its astonishingly beautiful music, it's the voice of Scholl, served by faultless musical instincts and unequalled technical facility, that elevates these mortal scores to the most rarefied realm of high art. Scholl's voice--which has no discernible register break--and his interpretive delivery have been accurately described as "seductive," "alluring," and "potent." You'll certainly find your own descriptive terms, but one thing is certain to be shared by all who listen to this disc: your CD library will grow in direct proportion to the number of Scholl discs in the catalog. --David Vernier

Customer Reviews:

simply wonderful.......2000-12-21

This is an outstanding recording that does full justice to the beauty of German pre-Bach song. Scholl is unparalleled in the subtle way he treats every single song. The listener gets carried away by the different moods the tunes carry: once brooding and sad, other times very exuberant and full of joy. Having grown up with the music of Schutz and Buxtehude in a northern German medieval town, I have heard many weak renderings of this music that do not do justice to its inherent pious beauty. Scholl lets it sparkle and shine the way it deserves to be sung.

Hypnotizing.......2000-08-29

This was my first Andreas Scholl CD, I purchased it immediately after hearing it played in a store. From the first listen over a year ago until now it still profoundly affects me. Alternatingly slow and brooding to more uptempo, the beautiful music and haunting voice are the perfect accompaniment to those moments of pensive introspection.

Sublime truly is the word........2000-07-06

I loved Heroes, but this is my favorite Scholl collection so far. Alternatingly exuberant, forceful, and delicate, his enchanting voice is refined and controlled yet emotive. Countertenor fans will not be disappointed.

Sold out in the shops.......1998-12-28

This is a beautiful collection of pre-Bach German sacred music, which probably has the distinction of being the first such to break into Classical charts. Clever programming and marketing by Harmonia Mundi obviously hasn't hurt any there, but this still remains a great disc.

Most of the tracks are well known and oft recorded, notably by Scholl's teacher Rene Jacobs. Schutz features three times (SWV307,308,348), Buxtehude twice (BuxWV76, Jubilate), along with two standards of the genre: JC Bach's Ach dass ich Wasser's g'nug, and Tunder's Ach Herr lass deine lieben Engelein. The only discoveries are Philipp Heinrich Erlebach 1657-1714: Wer sich dem Himmel ubergehen, and a protestant reworking of Rovetta's Salve Regina into Salve mi Jesu. The disc also features two short instrumental pieces by Legrenzi and Albertini.

Customer Reviews:

These are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks.......2007-01-21

I was disappointed that these are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks. For example, in Colonel Bogey, the countermarch from the movie soundtrack is not included in the arrangement on this CD. Don't get me wrong, the songs are good, but I would have preferred the same arrangements as the original movies.

An outstanding compilation.......2006-08-25

This compilation is superb and a real must-buy. From Band of Brothers to A Bridge Too Far: every war movie theme is represented here. An all time classic.

The really good ones are missing........2005-07-18

While this compilation has some masterpieces such as the theme from The Great Escape and Is Paris Burning, it's missing some of the finest tracts ever written. Where is the theme from Victory and Ernest Gold's stirring epic from Cross of Iron? The closing theme from Inchon was also a feast for the ears, but it's not here. It was written by Jerry Goldsmith, one of the foremost soundtrack composers of our time. Instead we're subjected to the likes of Hanover Street and The English Patient. I'll admit Inchon and Victory weren't Academy Award winning movies, but their soundtracks were second to none. As John Stossel would say," Give me a break"!!!

"many were winners by the Academy for best scores".......2004-05-26

Before "Jaws" there was the "Doomsday Machine"..........2007-05-18

Steven Spielberg's Jaws has one of the most recognizable movie themes ever..the shark theme. But the "da-dum da-dum" music that made John Williams's career was already done ten years earlier...and is on this on this soundtrack.

The Star Trek episode The Doomsday Machine featured an ominous machine was the sci fi equivalent of a giant shark: a silent, big, grey behemoth that swallowed spaceships whole. The tension was established via the soundtrack by a simple "da-dum" theme. Like "Jaws", it would start slowly and softly and gradually turn up the tempo and the volume.

I think "Doomsday Machine" is a great soundtrack by itself. "Amok Time" is a terrific companion...its a completely different sound with a sixties pseudo-spiritual approach. But the fight theme is a classic. Both of these soundtracks on a single CD make this one a winner.

Star Trek : Volume 2.......2007-01-17

Star Trek music is great if you like the television series. I grew up with Star Trek in the late 70's and 80's watching reruns and videos with my dad that he had recorded off of t.v. Two of my favorite episodes are featured here on "Volume 2". "The Doomsday Machine" and "Amok Time". These are classics of the Star Trek juggernaut. It is different just listening to the music. You understandably hear things that you otherwise would not hear while watching an episode. "Volume 2" sounds like it was recorded in the 60's. 1967 to be precise. What I mean to say is that when the music was recorded there were limitations as far as recoding equipment goes. It really sounds like a 1960's soundtrack but is unique in it's approach. As far as I know, this is not a remastered cd and I can tell. I wish they would have boosted up the levels and made it louder. A little more bass would make this a great sounding cd but don't let that stop you from buying it. It is a really great soundtrack that no sci-fi fan should be without.

Good, classic Sci-Fi TV Music.......2006-01-06

Music composers Sol Kaplan and Gerald Fried are two of the better music writers for television back in the late 1960's. Both were famous for scores for other things (Kaplan for "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold" and Fried for "Gilligan's Island"), but showed that they could create music for a then new project: Star Trek.

Kaplan's score for "The Doomsday Machine" emphasized what was going on in each scene, underscoring how tension packed the episode was when it was made in 1967. (With the Special Effects that are available now, if they ever redo Star Trek, this is one episode that would seriously "amp up" the tension!!)

Fried, on the other hand, used his impressive Jazz training to show Mr. Spock in his "pon farr" state, and also to give the previously never seen before Planet Vulcan an alien atmosphere. Of course, the famous music for the fight scene between Spock and Kirk has been imitated often, but never topped.

An excellent CD for music and Classic TV fans.

"Kaplan & Fried composers that felt the pulse of the series".......2002-01-08

Neil Norman(executive producer), just keeps cranking them out...take for instance "STAR TREK:ORIGINAL TV SOUNDTRACK("The Cage" & "Where No Man Has Gone Before")(GNPD-8006)...the legendary Alexander Courage shares his talent for scoring with his famous Sci-Fi opening theme, every cue has the Courage signature.

For this "Volume Two" from episodes "THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE"(Kaplan) and "AMOK TIME"(Fried), the creator of Star Trek Gene Roddenberry chose two veterans Sol Kaplan and Gerald Fried...both composers use of full orchestra was both rewarding and beneficial to the plot and substance of the series...although Fried's cues were darker in nature, gave us a feeling transformation into another time and place...while Kaplan's composition showed the audience what loss and despair could do to any human being...a highlight is "THE PROCESSIONAL"(Track 20) and "THE CHALLENGE"(Track 21), memorable cues that leaves one remembering that particular episode of the series...both composers hit the mark...dead on.

You might enjoy other Star Trek albums from GNP Crescendo ~ "Star Trek:Original TV Series Sound Effects"(GNPD-8010)..."Star Trek:The Next Generation:Encounter At Farpoint"(GNPD-8012)..."Star Trek:The Next Generation Volume Two"(GNPD-8026)...all worthy of a good listen.

Tremendously inventive, totally surprising........2001-01-09

I was astonished to see this music actually available. Being somany, many years since the first production date, I would hardly haveexpected to find something preserved so accurately. This is, in fact aperfect recording. The music itself is really astonishing. Ratherthan an endless trundling out of the Star Trek theme, Sol Kaplan comesup with a collection of brilliant orchestral minatures in which hedisplays an absolute and total command of large scale orchestralwriting. I would guess his major influences would be Sibelius, Mahler,and probably Richard Strauss, but you would have to also certainlyinclude Edgar Varese and possibly Jacob Druckmann. Some of his ideasappear to spring from a probably uncatalogued collection of martialthemes, but his ability to paint vivid and powerful colours is likenothing I have heard before. Some of the themes reach really deep andwill endure for many decades to come. The way he ties in the StarTrek theme itself is very clever and elegant, making quite a trick inthe tail towards the end of the piece... What on earth has this dearfellow done since, or before? I am very, very impressed with this andwould absolutely recommend it to anyone, even classical music buffs.

Big John.......2007-03-13

John Hammond was my first experience with white man's blues from his very first Vanguard albums. I followed his career closely for many years until he seemed to lose his way in the mid-70's. I think the high water mark of his career was the three albums he did for Atlantic in the late 60's and "Southern Fried" is the top of the pile. Great singing, great songs, great, great band of Muscle Shoals regulars (plus Duane Allman) and a vibe he hasn't been able to achieve since. I have all his early to mid-period stuff on CD and vinyl, many twice or thrice over, and reckon he's one of the best white bluesmen. There must be some enterprising record label out there than can gather together all John's Atlantic material (plus unreleased stuff) and put together a proper collectors retrospective CD. Then get a proper and sympathetic box set of his Vanguard material (the current re-releases of this material is a dog's breakfast) and finally pull together a double CD of the best of his Columbia, Capricorn, Rounder and other minor label material. Then we may be doing justice to this excellent bluesman who has done as much for the "originals" as any white boy could. With the current interest in him at an all-time high, there must be a market for his earlier, more traditional blues material. As a footnote, I think the cover of the original vinyl "Southern Fried" album (not the one shown here) is one of the top 20 album covers of all-time; snake-skin suit, Gold-Top Gibson guitar, F**k me pose and all the strut and bluster of a man at the top of his game.

A personal favorite of mine for 30 years.......2003-02-21

Something special occurred when John Hammond's powerful vocals, guitar, and harmonica were paired with the legendary Muscle Shoals "Swampers" -- studio musicians who had a magical ability to infuse all their recording projects with a terrific combination of soulful RnB and country-flavored blues feeling. For me, they are just as responsible as Hammond for why this album turned out so well. The added presence of their frequent guest collaborator, Duane Allman, on lead and bottleneck slide guitar for several tracks doesn't hurt either. If this album were to be recorded today, the production and sound quality would undoubtedly be fuller, but the feel of the players could not be bettered. (I've always thought of this album as a sort of a companion piece to Boz Scaggs's excellent self-titled 1969 solo album on Atlantic, recorded in the same studio with all the same people.) A solid rhythm section, tasteful supporting keyboard and guitar work, and judicious use of a potent horn section all yield marvelous results -- plus Hammond's vocals and harmonica work here are knockouts. The raw passion and energy of his performance offset the other musicians' more polished and relaxed approach so that things don't sound too smooth and laid-back. I should mention that this CD reissue is nicely packaged and sounds really good, but there are no added liner notes or bonus tracks -- and the listing of tracks and credits is marred by some embarrassingly stupid typos (like crediting the song "Nadine" to "Chuckr" Berry, and dropping the second "y" in the title of "Mystery Train"). Of course, what's important is the music, and it's great. I thought so when I first heard this album in the early 1970s, and time has not changed my opinion.

Deep Fried, Hot 'N Spicy Southern Boogie.......2002-12-03

At long last the CD debut of this sizzling hot John Hammond/Muscle Shoals Studio masterpiece. Hammond cranks it out, as he's accompanied by the deft rhythm section of Barry Beckett; keyboards, Eddie Hinton; guitar, David Hood; bass and Roger Hawkins; drums. In addition he is joined on four tracks by slide guitar virtuoso, the legendary Duane Allman. Those familiar with the Duane Allman anthologies (volumes 1 & 2) can attest to the sonic wail of Duane and John trading licks on Shake For Me and Cryin' For My Baby.

Southern Fried stands along side other Muscle Shoals great R&B classics like Johnny Jenkins Ton Ton Machutte and Boz Scaggs self titled Atlantic Records album with Duane Allman on slide guitar and doboro. Just check out the writting credits on this puppy...Willie Dixon, Chester Burnett (aka Howlin Wolf), Chuck Willis, Chuck Berry and McKinley Morganfield (shame on you if you didn't recognize Muddy Waters real name). So fly out the door or submit your order today to the folks at Amazon.com(just a wee little plug for the good guys). Either way treat yourself to some real down home, deep fried, hot 'n spicy southern R&B. No doubt you'll be flaying away on your air guitar as Johnny and Duane take you for a soulful shakedown.
