A great follow up for the first album and terrific music for all ages

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection.......2006-11-07

I wouldn't consider myself one to purchase a Frankie and the Four Seaons CD (I mean look how dorky they look on the CD cover!) - but don't be decieved - this is a masterpiece.

"Lets hang on" has great hook and is one of my favorites. I got the CD coz I'd heard "December 1963" in the past, liked it but didn't know who performed it. One of the better purchases I've made in 2006.

New Jersey's favorite sons in the days before Bruce Springsteen, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons were practically the only group from the doo-wop era to continue to thrive during (and after) the British Invasion. Aside from a natural facility for four-part harmony, the group had the added advantage of keyboardist Bob Gaudio (who wrote most of the group's hits) and producer Bob Crewe, who gave the songs a Spector-esque sheen. This disc collects the best Four Seasons stuff from 1962 to 1965, including "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Dawn (Go Away)." It's an appealing package, but provides an incomplete picture of the group; Four Seasons fans should definitely check out Volume 2, which includes more complex later hits like "Let's Hang On" and "Working My Way Back To You." --Dan Epstein

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The Valli Boys.......2007-05-16

A collection of 15 of the top hits by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, about the only American group to success during the British invasion of the mid-sixties, this CD is a wonderful trip into the past. Most of their Top 40 from 1962-1964 are here, except, alas, "Rag Doll." If you like the Four Seasons, you will love this CD.

i ordered the FOUR SEASONS GREATEST HITS VOL 1 & 2 and they are super.

in fact they turned a rather drab new years party into a 60's sing along ,with some rather good solos--

4 out of 5 stars I still remember all the words!.......2006-03-16

This brought back memories of junior high and seeing the Four Seasons in concert! Great sounds!

5 out of 5 stars First Seasons.......2005-12-28

Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 is a collection of the Four Seasons' hits from the first stage of their career. The songs have a Jersey street corner feel and the group's harmonies are stellar. Songs like the number one hits "Sherry", "Walk Like A Man" & "Big Girls Don't Cry" are classics as are other gems like "Bye, Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)", "Big Man In Town" and great Bob Dylan cover "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" recorded under the name The Wonder Who with Frankie Valli singing in a register that is just beneath a dog whistle.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Of Baroque Collection.......2004-02-22

This compilation album features some well-known Baroque Era musical works and serves as a perfect introduction to classical music. The great Baroque composers are showcased here - Bach, considered the greatest of them all, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli and others. The Baroque period (from 1600 to 1750) was a time of great development and change in music. Before the Baroque Era, music was single-melody and primitive, in much the same way it had been since the Old World of the Greeks and Romans. Plaintive chorus was the only new invention of the medieval days- the Gregorian monk chant and Hildegard Bingen's nuns' chant. But during the Baroque Era, instruments were created and with them a new sound. Flutes, oboes, clarinets, drums, violins, violas and most significantly the trumpet, was played in a new medium called the orchestra. This music was played before royalty, kings of England, Germany and France, and often elitist aristocratic crowds. The same applied to Baroque Opera, which re-told Greek legends and classical heroes through music and the human singing voice of opera. Finally, music broke out from the old and into the new.

Johann Sebastian Bach is regarded as the best of the Baroque composers. He wrote prolifically for orchestra, for harpsichord (the earliest piano or keyboard instrument), as well as the organ. Among Bach's popular pieces are the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (which is the theme for "Dracula" and was made into an orchestra version by conductor Leopold Stokowski as seen in the Disney film Fantasia of 1940), his Brandenburg Concertos- a total of six concertos that showcase the tone color of several instruments of the orchestra and are considered the height of the Baroque musical style. The Brandenburg Concerti that are most famous are th 3rd and 5th. Bach's Golberg Variations for keyboard are also very virtuosic as well as his Organ Preludes. Bach's Orchestral Suites are the skeletons of the first symphonies, even if it it's not exactly a symphony form, and Bach's cantatas and Mass In B have long been hailed as the best works of chorus.

George Frederic Handel, a German-born composer, adapted the Italian musical technique, especially the new invention of opera, but performed publically in England, even writing the famous "Messiah" oratorio in English. Handel's skills were most keen in the orchestra. His "Concerti Grossi" which total a number of 12, are virtuoso and expressive of instrumental color. The Water Music and the Royal Fireworks music are also very famous and written in a grandiose style that was quintessentially Baroque. Vivaldi, a former priest, became a composer who specialized in small-scale chamber music. He created the "tone poem" long before it was even called that in the 19th century. His "Four Seasons" are his most acclaimed. The music expresses the four seasons of fall, winter, spring and summer. The violins, the woodwinds, the trumpets, each deliver a picture of pastoral scenes. Vivaldi also wrote numerous other concerti, including some for mandolin, an early guitar.

This collection is a must have for music lovers.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding sampler.......2001-02-25

It is impossible of course to capture Baroque music on a single CD, but if you want just one it doesn't get any better than this. Outstanding and generous selection of many of the best known excerpts of the period, excellent performances throughout, and superior sound quality. Even the casual listener will recognize many of these great works, such as the theme from Masterpiece Theater, Pachelbel's Canon, Handel's Water Music, and so on.

4 out of 5 stars Great selection, but quality could be better........2006-12-26

First off, this cd has some of my favorite classical songs on it. The songs themselves are great, and many are instantly recognizable for all those who didn't know their names.

The recording quality of this cd isn't great. For most people with average ears and average hardware, that won't make a difference. For the extermely intent listeners, the recording quality isn't great, and, while I would recommend any of the music on here to anyone, I just wouldn't reccomend this particular cd to those who high-powered hardware and are picky.

5 out of 5 stars A Must have for amateur and veteran classical fans!.......2001-01-01

Perfect for getting acquainted to classical music for the first time! All the best pieces on one cd which makes it a stand-out selection in anyone's collection. Once you've heard this one, you will want more and the RCA Victor classical music series is highly recommended and affordable. For the die-hard classical fan, this is the perfect one to take along with you in the car or the office.

5 out of 5 stars A beautiful masterpiece for the arts........1999-05-15

This is for any one who loves classical music. Its beautiful sounds truely captivate the human spirt. A great piece of work.

greatest hits.

What more could you ask for less than $5? It has all the songs that you associate with that group and all in one place.

There are a lot of other compilation CDs, but as far as value for the money, this is the best of them all.

4 out of 5 stars Dance Version is Crazy!.......1999-11-24

Great album . . . mostly. I absolutely HATE the dance version of "Big Girls Don't Cry." It doesn't work to try and adapt a '60s song to the '70s . . . or '80s . . . or '90s. But if you buy the CD edition, at least you can skip over it.

5 out of 5 stars The Jersey Boys in their prime........2006-02-25

I have always enjoyed Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons but after seeing Jersey Boys, I was hungry for more music from them. This album includes quite a few of their top hits and my favorite memories.

5 out of 5 stars A Class Act.......2004-07-11

One of the greatest acts in music histroy, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons scored a string of hits between 1962 and 1968 plus a few more with a differnt lineup in the 1970s'. In 1981, the latter incarnation reunited and created this excellent live album.

This album features all the songs you could want: "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like A Man", "Rag Doll", "Let's Hang On", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "Workin' My Way Back To You", "Who Loves You" and "December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)". Evne though most of them are in medley form, they all still bristle with the freshness of the original version. Also, a few great Valli solo numbers are done: "Our Day Will Come", "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "Fallen Angel", "Swearin' To God", "My Eyes Adored You" and an exhilerating version of "Grease". Two new songs are also done: the single "Spend The Night In Love" and the joyous "Heaven Must Have Sent You (Here In The Night").

This is a great live album. Valli's voice is in great shape and the falsetto is still there. Get it today. I guarantee you will enjoy it immensely.

5 out of 5 stars A Live Album For All Seasons.......2004-06-02

Between 1962 and 1976, the New Jersey quintet The Four Seasons had over 15 top 10 hits and a few more that made the top 30. Add that with a few more hits by lead singer Frankie Valli, they might be the most successful American male vocal group of all time. In 1989, The Four Seasons went back out on the road for a reunion, playing to sold - out audiences all over the world. Their concert in Holmdell, New Jersey is the one highlighted here on this live album.

All the hits fans are dying to hear are here - "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like A Man", "Rag Doll", "Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)", "Let's Hang On" and many more. My only complaints are that their 2 big '70s hits ("Who Loves You" and the number 1 hit "December 1963 (Oh What A Night)") and newer material as well as Valli's 5 biggest solo hits, are included in complete versions while the classic 1960s' materials are banished to medley form. Still, they remain some of the best music ever recorded. And Valli's solo spot on "My Eyes Adored You" show that his voice just gets better with age, and the Seasons' harmonies remain beautiful. There are also two then - new recordings that might have been big hits had they been released as singles: "Spend The Night In Love" and "Heaven Must Have Sent You (Here In The Night)".

Overall, a great live show. The Four Seasons remain timeless faces in pop music today. There music will outlast anything by Eminem, Britney Spear, Christina Aguilerra, Ashanti, Beyonce, 50 Cent, G Unit, D 12 and so on and so forth. Get this album today and you won't be sorry. Have I ever let you down?

5 out of 5 stars Can't Take My Ears Off Of It.......2004-04-14

The biggest group of the pre - Beatles '60s' (1960 to January 1964), The Four Seasons were the first group in history to have 3 consecutive # 1 singles, and their career lasted well through 1968. The original nucleus of the group disintegrated in 1971, so lead singer Frankie Valli began a highly successful solo career that yielded two number one hits, "My Eyes Adored You" and "Grease", plus a string of top 40 hits including "Swearin' To God" and "Our Day Will Come". In 1976, The Four Seasons reformed with Valli as the only original member, and scored a # 1 hit with "December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)". After a few more mid - charting singles, the new version of the band broke up in the early 1980s', during which Valli regained his hearing. In 1989, the latter - day 4 Seasons reunited and went on tour. Their electrifying performance in Holmdel, New Jersey is included on this cd.

Beginning with a rauous version of "She Loves You", the band has clearly not lost its touch. Valli's voice still sparkles like wine, although his falsetto his died down a bit. He sounds young and alive on "December, 1963", "My Eyes Adored You" and "Our Day Will Come". The rest of the group's harmonies shine throughout the cd, especially on the clsoing medley and the closing chorus on "My Eyes Adored You". Also included are two new recordings not available anywhere else: "Spend The Night In Love" and "Heaven Must Have Sent You (Here In The Night)". Both are great songs in vain of the 1960s' charttoppers. And original member and songwriter Bob Gaudio pops up onstage for all to brief a moment.

This cd showcases that after over 30 years, the group is still one of the finest acts out there. This was also the first Four Seasons cd I ever bought, so it does hold a lot of emotional value for me. Classic.

5 out of 5 stars Workin' My Way Back to You, Babe!.......2002-06-11

Wow! This is such a great album. It is so full of energy and the songs from the past. You see the list of songs on Amazon's list. It's all the 4 Season biggies. Play it LOUD, in the car. It'll rev you up. Sing along with the oldies. The medleys are great, too. The "20" songs include the medleys. There are only xxx tracks, but 20 songs in all. On a scale of 1 - 5, this album is at least a 10 or better.

Right now (May 2007), there is a musical out there called "Jersey Boys". It's about the life of Franki Valli and the 4 Seasons and has a lot of these songs in it. I just saw it in Manhattan. If you get a chance, see it. It's excellent and the music (this music) will have you clapping and stomping.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting Mix, but not for serious classical music listeners .......2005-08-08

Bach, Vivaldi, and Mozart are all too well known, but less known musics are blended well into this CD. That's why I bought this CD. I think this is a good CD to familiarlize myself to flute pieces, but as a serious classical music listener it may come in short as more than half of pieces in this CD are something too famous and were listened so many times. This CD can be used to know what I like and then move forward from there. I am the type of listener who listen to the entire Carmen of Bizet instead of listening to only one part or two of it. If a listener is unfamiliar with clessical music, I think this is a good one to start.

5 out of 5 stars a must have flute cd.......2001-07-23

this is a great flute cd. i enjoy the fact that the cd has many preformers rather than just one. Jean-Pierre Rampal, of course probably the most famouse flutist, and William Bennett, an amazing flutist who I was fortuante enough to hear in person, are both on this cd, as well as a few other great flutist. i especially enjoyed Siciliene, because i have never heard it played with flute and hard, and because i have played the piece myself.

even if you haven't heard of some of these songs it is wonderful to listen to them. i recomend this cd for flutiests of all levels.

5 out of 5 stars takes you to another place and time!.......2000-08-25

This cd is by far the most beautiful that I have ever heard! It just takes you away to another place and time, far from your worries, very relaxing. I highly reccomend this to anyone who loves beautiful music!

    5 out of 5 stars Classical music CD for everyone.......2007-01-09

    A great selection. I bought one for my husband, and later the other one for my parents.
    Quality, and a superb selection of masterpieces.
    A must have for classical music lovers, and for everyone who wants to get introduced to classical music.

    5 out of 5 stars ... in a nutshell.......2006-09-08

    Probably the best one-volume compilation of Karajan available, with the most broad-based approachable track list currently being offered to the general enthusiast/collector. Back in the vinyl days, there were two-disc sets available like the "Karajan Super Concert" or the three-volume "Karajan Conducts" set on Angel. Some of these have been re-arranged and re-released with new or different cover art on CD too, but here is a newly remastered set just as good or better than any of those.

    It also contains probably the best short essay on what Herbert von Karajan was all about by Axel Bruggemann, that I have ever read. A CD or two of the "Adagio" set by this conductor (also on DG) may be a nice supplement too, otherwise you can't really go wrong with this two-disc set at a fairly affordable price.

    5 out of 5 stars Karajan Forever: The "Eternal" Classical Music Album.......2005-09-26

    Another fine recording of classical music, as conducted by the man considered to be the greatest conductor of the 20th century- Herbert Von Karajan, whose position as conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic made that particular orchestra unbeatable and at number one in the list of world's greatest orchestras. Karajan was involved with the Berlin Philharmonic's musical development for years, until his death in 89, before the Berlin Wall fell, an event he did not live to see. This recording has to the best of Karajan's many collected classical pieces on record. It is a perfect introduction to classical music itself and to Karajan's style. A plethora of composer and time periods- from Baroque, to Classical to Romantic- are all on here. Vivaldi's Spring opens the CD, and is followed by the melancholy and fatalistic sounding Baroque classic Albinoni Adagio in G. This is followed by Mozart's 40th symhony. The first Romantic Era symphony on here is Dvorak's famous New World Symphony, which Karajan conducts with supreme mastership. The Intermezzo from the verisimo opera Cavalleria Rusticana is on here and sounds absolutely breathtaking. The suite of Bizet's Carmen is musically intoxicating and the Bolero has never sounded hotter, except for maybe Zubin Mehta conducting it which I've heard live and know is absolutely wonderful. The famous Waltz from Tchaikovsky's ballet masterpiece Sleeping Beauty is on here as well as the Third Act Prelude to Verdi's Traviata. The final track on CD 1 is Saint Saens Organ Symphony Finale.

    The second disc opens with a masterful version of the powerfully evocative Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss, another Austrian composer Karajan championed. The Swan Theme from Swan Lake is on here, as well as the Viennese Waltz favorite On the Beautiful Blue Danube- something I didn't know Karajan even conducted. But being Austrian, I'm not surprised. Karajan even conducted Johann Strauss' Die Fledermaus as well as other waltzes. Back to Baroque, he continues with the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 by Bach and the gorgeous and somewhat gloomy Dance of the Blessed Spirits from Orpheus and Eurydice by Gluck. The CD ends with the elegant and beautiful Waltz of the Flowers from Tchaikovsky's Nutracker. This is a must have for fans of classical music, as a lot of favorites are on here.

    5 out of 5 stars Meditation!.......2003-07-20

    A veritable who's who of pieces & composers, the CDs Karajan Forever will hopefully live forever.
    Herbert VonKarajan was the conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic from 1955 until his demise in 1989. His vision & helmsmanship of this magnificent orchestra have literally changed the way a whole generation heard music.

    In this 2 CD collection, DG has kind of done a Greatest Hits. Everything from the Four Seasons by Vivaldi to Opera Overtures, Ballet Themes and Piano Concertos. There is truly something for everyone on this CD, but being an opera fan, 2 of my favorites are on disc 2. The Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana and the Meditation from Thais. This music simply transports the listener to another place and time. The Philharmonic is so in sync- so one that it is hard to believe how huge they really are. I can wholeheartedly recommend this CD without reservation. And it's a steal at $... for 2 new CDs. For more information on this CD & others in a line paying tribute to Maestro VonKarajan, go to his website: karajan.org
    Enjoy!

    2 out of 5 stars A huge disapointment.......2004-12-01

    Yes, this disc has some stunning music...about 2 minutes per selection of it. Sometimes a little more, but this is just a movement or so of each. I was thrilled to find Andrew Davis' version of The Polovstian Dances and found only a short choral section of it. It is a useful survey if you are a fledgeling listener to Russian classical music, but other than that, it is pretty useless for listening.

    4 out of 5 stars The true Russian spirit............2000-06-18

    This CD has a wonderful combination of the best tunes Russia has to offer (under 10 minutes of course!). Folk tunes like Two Guitars and Dark Eyes add to the Russian spirit. Also a nice war-like tune by an unfamilar man by the name of Knipper. This is his only work that made it to the world of classical music. Many other works done nicely by Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, and many others who don't end with 'sky'. Very nice way to introduce you to the Russians. Buy it even if you know about the Russian works. There are a few 'one hitters' on this CD.
