5 out of 5 stars "Blasted" away.......2006-09-27

I am by no standards an expert on music, let alone organ music. I just purchased this CD because I love the sound of the organ, and wanted an album from a mix of artists before I started branching out to single composers. I would also consider myself an audiophile, only listening to high quality music with my portable headphone amplifier and Sennheiser HD-555's. Let me tell you, the quality is perfect, and the music is incredible! Such a full sound, it's *almost* as good as sitting in audience, only lacking the full body experience of organ music. I would recommend this to anybody looking to get a foot into the world of organ music.

5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2006-06-07

I happen to love organ music, even that tacky Saint-Saens
Third Symphony (with which this CD ends and just the third movement).

I grew up with E. Power Biggs, Virgil Fox, et al. and had never heard of Michael Murray (okay, it's been a while). I bought this delightful CD when it first appeared and before Amazon had been invented.

Upon hearing that most famous work with which Murray begins, I confess I was just this side of hysterical -- I was laughing with pure happiness. Murray's take on is it wonderfully over-the-top in the best possible sense. I have a son-in-law who is a musician and, indeed, does play the organ (i.e., if any of them have had pipes, I don't know, but I'm here to tell you, I don't want to hear ANY but pipe organs -- okay, I'm old).

At any rate, to hear this Toccata and Fugue played with such (carefully studied) abandon so tickled me, I called Brian (the son-in-law) and demanded that he listen while I put it on my stereo.

Now I'm going to send it to my son Bruce upon learning last night that he LOVES organ music. Who knew? He's 54 years old, for goodness' sake and never mentioned that little item before.

4 out of 5 stars For those who like BIG organ works.......2005-09-04

This CD concentrates on the big, showy organ pieces that organists love to play. As an organist myself, I find that such numbers are usually more fun to play than to hear. Fortunately, this CD is very listenable, and makes the case for both playing and listening to these works. I'd buy it again; maybe more telling, I'm looking for some of the music, so I can go play it!

5 out of 5 stars Pure Majestic Power!.......2003-07-20

Corey is right - this is an outstanding organ CD, one of the best I've heard. Murray plays some of the largest and most powerful organs on Earth, and uses the reed stops more than the usual organist to produce great effects and a wall of sound that are majestic in the extreme. The selections are all great virtuoso showpieces, and track #6 by Messiaen (Dieu parmi nous from La Nativite') is especially demonstrative of the great contrasts available in a large organ. The horizontal trumpets in this piece are predominant and very bright, contrasting with the snarling bass of the pedal organ.

A word of caution - this CD requires a capable stereo (think subwoofer) to sound its best. Trust me - if you listen to this CD on a good stereo and if you like organ music, you'll sit there with a big grin on your face and tears in your eyes as you listen to this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Performance by Murray.......2001-11-09

This is by far one of the best organ CD's I have ever listened to. The variety is very good overall. From the state trumpets at St. John's to the mighty organ of First Congregational Church, Murray provides nice registration on all of the organs sampled. The Finale from Saint-Saens No. 3 is awesome with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy,s direction. Murray provides his own notes on the organs and the pieces in the booklet that is included. This is some fine organ music!!

5 out of 5 stars I Keep Returning.......2006-05-12

I have had this recording for years and I keep returning to it and never tire. About 2 years ago, I played this CD every night while getting my baby (now a toddler) ready for bed. I have hundreds of CDs and like most all kinds of music, but if I could only have one... it would Bach Variations. It is not too sleepy, not too technic, varied, perfect.

5 out of 5 stars Well Done.......2002-04-12

Thoughtful and well done variations of Bach standards. Artists are excellent, and recording quality is top shelf. Good stuff to relax with.

5 out of 5 stars Soul Soothing!.......2000-01-24

I have long been a fan of Windham Hill, but this is truly special. I also love mellow jazz and classical and this is a brilliant blending plus a couple of suprises into the mix. I really reccomend this work!

2 out of 5 stars Technically good , but lacks content.......2007-01-22

Good cd , in a matter of technical interest about how a SACD would sound like, but i think it lacks quality in the music collection itself (artists,songs).

5 out of 5 stars Excelente!!.......2006-11-10

Esta recopilación de Telarc de sus diferentes grabaciones en SACD, pone en nuestras manos una herramienta para explorar cada una de las posibilidades del sonido multicanal. Con una variedad de artistas y canciones de gran calidad, es un disco para gozarlo de principio a fin. Es la compañía ideal para una tarde de buena música.

5 out of 5 stars A must have if you want to show off your HT SYSTEM .......2006-04-08

Vocals & Instruments are so clear that if you close your eyes you think that your listening to the actual performer LIVE. A must have CD for Hometheater Enthusist, surround buff or just loves Multi-channel Music, cant get better than this!!!!!!!! Highly Recomendable!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars The must have SACD!.......2006-02-09

Without a doubt, this is the quisessential SACD for all SACD lovers. The sound on this disc is mindblowing and the warmth and clarity of the recording is flawless in all aspects. The discrete 5.1 surround mixing is done very tastefully and it's almost like being right there in the recording studio with all the instruments/vocals surrounding you in sheer bliss. All tracks on this SACD are brilliant and I think Ken did a great job in picking these selections from the magnificient Telarc/Heads Up SACD range. What's more, Ken gives you detailed info on the surround recording of each track telling you which instrument goes into which channel and the highlights to look out for in each track too. Check out the track from Ladysmith black mamboza, and also the spyro gyra and yellowjackets tracks. To sum it up, this is the only SACD you'll ever need if you want to show off your 5.1 surround SACD system. Well done sound & vision!

5 out of 5 stars I Finally Found It!!.......2006-05-29

This is the most beautiful music I have ever heard. I first heard this album back in 1987 when I was stationed in Germany. It was called Jazz Sampler 86 and one of my room mates made me a copy on cassette. I still have the tape but have always wanted the cd and now I finally found it!! This music is so sweet and lovely. It takes me back to my childhood years and warms my heart and soul. It's great with wine for a quiet evening alone or with someone special. This music truely is a masterpiece and I cherish it deeply.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Music for Relaxing, or Study.......2002-02-06

I have spent the last few years searching for music that I can play whenever I study. While I have found many good CDs in the past, this one is hard to beat.

This compilation provides a nice mixture of different textures of music from smooth bass lines with Michael Manring, to calm piano sounds of Liz Story. Also, there is a nice piano and woodwind combination in "Engravings." Every song has its own life and texture, but not to the point that as the CD changes from one tune to the next that it is distracting. I can listen to this music as I study and it helps me stay focused. But, it makes for nice relaxing music as well.

Having kept up with Windham Hill since 1983 I can safely say that this compilation (sampler) and the 1984 are my favorites. Sample the music above and see for yourself, there is a lot of variety here and all of it is quite nice!

5 out of 5 stars Compilation? Not to my ears!.......1999-04-17

Classic,Classic,Classic..Michael Manring on "Welcoming" feels like a Christmas morning,add in Piano,Bass,guitar,DULCIMER! songs and you may have the best Windham hill release out there.

A sentimental favorite,I highly recommend this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2005-10-12

I bought this CD purely for the first track, it is such a beautiful arrangement of Faure's Pavane. Someone had emailed me an mp3 of the piece about 8 years, but I had no info on who it was was performed by or where to find out. It took me 8 years and alot of posts on bulletin boards to finally find out. This Cd is worth it for the first track alone, although there are a bunch of other nice tracks on here.

5 out of 5 stars a hard to come by treasure.......2003-03-11

Erik Satie never sounded so good. Windham Hill is legendary for compiling the best in the music business to create CDs that have music that is rareley heard anywhere else, and phenominally good. I also own other Windham records, of which my two favourites are: Touch: 25 years of guitar, and now The Impressionists. I HIGHLY reccomend purchasing this CD along with 'Touch'. It's money well spent.

5 out of 5 stars Windham Hills best recording.......2003-03-06

I have a number of Windham Hills recording and I think The Impressionist CD is the best of them all. Each track on this CD is fantastic, it is truely difficult to pick a favorite.
If you are a Windham Hills fan you will want to add this CD to your collection, if you are not acquainted with Windham Hills, this is wonderful CD to become introduced to the best music they have to offer.

5 out of 5 stars Impressionists will leave you with beautiful impressions........2000-10-07

Every autumn and throughout the winter, I play this CD allowing each note of the songs to harmonize with the changing of the autumn leaves, from yellow to orange, to red. The beauty of the Windham Hill artists interpretations of Faure, Debussy, and Satie just come alive. Their notes seem so light, clear, and crisp like that first day of cool winter air. They pick up so much of natures's beauty to the familiar composed pieces. The overall arrangement of the pieces flow well and smoothly until you had realized that it's time to push the start button again. This is a beautiful work and is highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars A Reflection of Better Days at Windham Hill.......2003-01-01

I've had this one in my collection since its initial release on cassette, and it's always been a favorite. There wasn't another Sampler from Windham Hill for three more years, and that 1992 Sampler marked the unfortunate end of William Ackerman's stewardship of the label and its subsequent decline. The high points are Saisse's "Rameau's Nephew," Aaberg's "Walking Through Walls" piano/guitar duet with Michael Hedges, Simon's "Usually/Always," Cossu's "Manhattan Underground," McCandless's "Sojourner," and of course Ackerman's own "Floyd's Ghost."
