5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE.......2003-06-03

Every serious bassoon player should be required to own this cd, especially anyone considering auditioning for an orchestra. McGill explains how to play the excerpts in order to give them that special touch the judges are looking for. He also plays each example with such ease-- it almost sounds easy! This cd gives you something to strive for as an aspiring bassoonist.

5 out of 5 stars Not just for bassoon players !!.......2000-10-16

I first heard of this recording from an article by Owen Lee in DOUBLE BASSIST magazine, in an article on Bach's Suite No. 3 (the 4th in a series on Bach's Suites for Unaccompanied Cello on Double-Bass) - a piece that I keep in my practice folder, and take out periodically. Lee said this CD is "the finest dissertation on musical phrasing that I have come across." Since I'm working on a guitar-bass duet arrangement of Ravel's "Bolero" and this is one of the excerpts, I figured I'd check it out.

I play primarily jazz bass, but have practiced "classical" music to get a better perspective on my weaknesses in intonation, phrasing, and overall style. And although I have never been one to disregard the other instruments in the orchestra (I have always enjoyed a well-played woodwind line), I have never got around to actually practicing these excerpts on my bass. Until now, of course. Anymore, I feel I am robbing myself of some incredible musical opportunities if I limit my vocabulary to double bass recordings.

I would highly recommend this recording to any bassoonist, bassist, or for that matter, ANY instrumentalist, regardless of genre of expertise ....

5 out of 5 stars Relaxing music at its finest!.......2005-10-14

This is a GREAT 10-CD set!The performances are top-notch, the music is varied, and the feelings engendered are wondrously beautiful.

5 out of 5 stars Get it for $9.99 at Sam's Club!.......2005-06-22

Very nice set of CD's, very beatiful and relaxing, but don't pay $27, get it for $9 at Sam's Club. I know this will be censored but come on, how can you guys charge those saps that much! Amazon should try to find the best price for its customers, even if it sends them to different vendors. Censoring this message is a crime, DON'T DO IT. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful, moving music! You'll recognize many of the pieces.......2004-02-24

John Cheng's review, below, said it's "an undeniable bargain," and I whole heartedly agree! I especially LOVE Volume 5. I have a Typing/Resume business, and I listen to Volume 5 ALL the time on my computer while I'm doing my work. It inspires me to be creative and calms me down when I'm stressed.

I would say I've _easily_ listened to Volume 5 at least 100 times, and I'm still not tired of it. That's amazing for me, because I'm also a musician (singer/pianist) and I get bored easily. I actually found the Volume 5 CD at a Thrift store, and loved it so much that I bought the whole set recently. So I've only listened to a few of the other CD's in this set, so far, and they're also great.

This is NOT boring music. My clients and family have heard it also, and they've also mentioned how soothing and wonderful these pieces are. Most of you will probably recognize a lot of these songs! You'll be saying, "OH! I remember THIS one! I haven't heard this for YEARS!!!"

It's well worth the money for 10 very full CD's!!! Try it! You won't be disappointed!

Happy listening!

5 out of 5 stars Meditative, But Not Boring.......2002-06-21

Here's the deal: If you check out the individual CDs of this collection, you'll pay way too much. That said, compare this price, and realize it is a steal at twice the price.

The list of selections is immense. 101 selections. Most of it you've heard before, but that's OK. Despite the various cute names -- quite creative -- "Vol. 9"!... you can load your CD player and enjoy them without feeling a transition of style.

It's true these aren't meditative in the sense of a Gregorian chant. Anyone familiar with classical music will recognize the composers and various movements to know this. What is true is that you can sit down and write Amazon reviews with it in the background quite comfortably. No weird interpretations, just the music as you know it.

It is also meditative in the sense of popping on it your portable player as you go for a Sunday afternoon walk. The music has just the right pacing: no quite aerobics class, but not ready for the office elevator either.

The box and jewel cases are not that flimsy kind of thing often associated with box sets. It sounds silly to review the jewel cases, but I'm frustrated with the ones I've received lately that have no meat to them. This'll do the job.

I fully recommend "Meditation: Classical Relaxation, 10 Volume Set [BOX SET].

4 out of 5 stars A Bargain and Beautiful.......2002-02-28

This is a wonderful collection of some of my most favorite classical selections. Most I already own, but still like having these all together. I could only wish that the recording level was the same for all selections. Yes, some are written to be softer, but I found it often necessary to turn the volume up or down for different selections. But aside from this minor preference, the quality, the choices, and the price are all super.

    5 out of 5 stars Pre-Met Debut Domingo: His NYC Opera Years 1966--1969.......2005-11-17

    This recording is a fine memento of tenor Placido Domingo's first operatic performances in the US, as he was the principal tenor for the New York City Opera from '66 to '69 back when Julius Rudel was principal conductor and Beverly Sills its reigning soprano. Yes, these are live taped performances and as such the typical noises of applause and coughing pop up but any fan of Domingo, or Sills for that matter will eat it up. Roberto Devereux by Donizetti was the opera that earned Beverly Sills the cover of Time magazine in 1971. She performed the role of Queen Elisabeth and Placido Domingo sang Devereaux. Their on-stage chemistry was magnetic and their singing was unsurpassed. Here Domingo sings the Prison Scene. Domingo had sung Alfredo in previous Mexico City productions of Traviata but his first American Alfredo was with NY City Opera and here he sings with robust but elegant lyricism. He was singing Wagner this early in his career. Lohengrin was his firt Wagnerian opera and as the titular knight he sings gorgeously. Here we are treated to his "Das Sube Lied" with City Opera soprano Arlene Sanders singing a radiant Elsa. The most moving, absolutely the most inspiring "In Fernem Land" with its religious spark is pure gold in the hands of Domingo. Of course, Domingo excelled in all the juicy Italian tenor roles- Rodolfo in Boheme. His Che Gelida Manin is touching and poignant. His rendition of "Vesti La Giubba" from Pagliacci is a vocal homage to his idol Enrico Caruso and Domingo sings with stunning dramatic force. My favorite tracks are the excerpts from Massenet's Manon. Beverly Sills scored immense success singing Manon and here we see why. On a live recording, she pulls out all the stops and we see how she had the audience moved by her graceful but impassioned singing. Domingo was a supreme Des Grieux, and it is too bad he didn't sing the French-sung Des Grieux of Massenet's opera as much as he did the Italian-sung Des Grieux of Puccini's opera. The rest of the album covers scenes from Bizet's Carmen, with mezzo soprano diva Mignon Dunn as Carmen. Mignon Dunn was probably the sexiest looking Carmen but vocally there are things missing. She has the suitable voice but lacks subtleties and shades to the voice. However, it is still a fine Carmen, especially because Domingo is a superb Don Jose, a role he sang numerous times and was nearly a signature role for him. Domingo's Cavaradossi from Tosca is another signature role and here he sings E Lucevan La Stelle and the Act 1 Duet with aplomb. Enough said, folks.

        5 out of 5 stars La Divina, La Callas.......2006-11-04

        Clearly, what separates the human instrument from any other--piano, flute, whatever--is its full capacity to access the storyline, through words. Callas not only has great diction--unlike La Stupenda--, she also delivers her lines with faithful, emotive force that you end up believing her as the character. Above all, I think it's because she has such great control of her own instrument, she undermines the difficulties in these parts, which thus allows us, lucky audience, to achieve this credibility in her, and ultimately the composer's, work.

        On another note, she's like the Meryl Streep of Opera; I just want to throw her some Oscars for this Mad Scene CD!

        5 out of 5 stars THERE IS NO SECOND.......2005-01-19

        When I have gone temporarily mad, I refer to this recording as consolation, that there are other suffering too like myself. This recording is, i agree with other, should be rated 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 stars.

        5 out of 5 stars Anthological Callas.......2004-03-31

        It has been said that Maria Callas' "Mad Scenes" is the recording that best defines her art. As Donizetti's Anna Bolena, Thomas' Ophelie, and Bellini's Imogene, Callas conveys intense feeling while maintaining a true legato and never "imposing" on the music. Anna's mad scene is the first Callas recording I ever heard, and it remains a favorite of mine. Nicola Resignio provides excellent support in each scene, and EMI's digitally remastered stereo sound is another asset. This is an essential collection for Callas and/or bel canto fans.

        5 out of 5 stars The original is the best.......2004-01-15

        1958 was a terrible year for Callas.It started with the "Rome-scandal" and it ended with the headlines "Bing fires Callas". But in this year she also made her best recitals:the famous Verdi-recording and this fantastic mad scenes-recital.
        Anna Bolena and Il pirata were long-forgotten operas,but Callas revived them with great success at la Scala.The heroines of this opera are very difficult to sing.You need a dark dramatic voice which has the agility to sing coloraturas and trills.And this singer also needs a lot of dramatic imagination to portray the changing moods of annas'and imogenes'troubled minds.I think Callas is absolutely perfect.
        The mad scene of Ophelie is also great.Some high notes are a bit sharp,but Callas is very convincing and deeply touching.And her french pronounciation is much better than Sutherlands`.
        This recording is a must have for everyone who loves Belcanto.I am glad,that Maria Callas discovered this wonderful music for us.

        I'm afraid I cannot rate this CD with more than 3 stars because although the recording quality of this edition is quite good by nowadays standards, the selection of the music does not reflect its title. I was expecting more "well known" tunes, more classical styles represented.

        Joan Sutherland is spectacular in these operatic selections, almost all of which were recorded during her prime--between 1962 and 1971--when her voice was at its freshest, and mannerisms such as sloppy diction and droopy phrasing were at a minimum. The characters here depicted are tragically loony, permitting the composers to lavish upon them coloratura fantasies that make for exciting listening, but restrict the roles to the few singers who are capable of managing the swirls and trills of the high tessitura. Sutherland reveled in these parts; the more difficult, the better. It's impossible to select highlights in a disc that's brimming with them, but her signature role, Lucia di Lammermoor, with its flowing vocal line and ravishing soprano-flute duet, offers some of the most exciting singing you'll ever hear; the top notes never strained, always full and rounded. But, then, everything else on this indispensable disc is a delight. --Dan Davis

        5 out of 5 stars Stupenda indeed!.......2006-12-30

        Sutherland knocks the socks off the listener in each of these selections. This is a fantastic introduction if you really want to know why Sutherland was the reigning queen of colouratura in her day.
        Superb sound and recordings range from early 70's to early 80's.

        4 out of 5 stars And interesting album.......2004-05-07

        This is an interesting album. The Puritani is from 1973, Hamlet from 1983 (wow!), and the Lucia from 1971. This is like a showcase of the later Sutherland voice. It's different from the younger voice. It's a darker, wiser tone. For starters, let's take the Hamlet scene. Not quite as many fireworks as the 1960 one, but the vibrato isn't so fluttery and kinda out of control. It's a slower, more steady and studied tone. She wisely omits some of the high notes (I mean, she's 57 for heaven's sake!). I consider a lesson in how to sing healthily and proper in the later vocal years. It's really a lesson to all singers to just hear her. The Puritani is magical. Just beautiful eerily cool music. The ornaments in the second aria are really quite amazing. And the high Eb at the end of Vien, diletto is amazing. Just that trademark Eb like she does in Traviata. Perfection. This Lucia is actually my favorite compared to her 1959 and 1961 ones. Now, don't get me wrong, each of those is wonderful in their own fabulous ways. The 1959 is fresh and bright and exciting. The 1961 is a clear understandable and beautiful tone with all the great ornaments she was working on as she was developing the role. I find this one super cool because it's just cool to hear how this voice can still have handle the demanding Lucia lines. Cause you see, her voice was getting heavier with age and it's just kinda amazing to hear "Wow! She's still got the chops!"

        5 out of 5 stars A great follow up to..........2004-01-13

        Callas' Mad Scenes Album, I love this CD. Joan sings the hell out of each piece even though the interpretations and characters suffer from it, I barely hear any madness... Anyway, I want to comment on several things written here:

        1)What one music class (Which school is that) says doesn't mean a thing, I trust my own ears and known experts like Steane, Kesting and Porter.

        2)The Sills-Fan isn't worth a thought, I too think he's an immature brat.

        5 out of 5 stars Sutherland rules, who's this Beverly Sills.......2003-07-14

        Sorry for not being current, or I'm too young. But who is Beverly Sills? I thought with Sutherland retired, the reigning soprano is Renee Fleming.
        Whoever she is. Her fans are getting annoying. I'll be sure that I don't take any of their recommendations.

        5 out of 5 stars Sutherland "Voice of the Century".......2003-07-13

        In a music 111 class, I compared divas Sutherland, Sills, and Callas all singing the mad scene from Lucia. I didn't say who was who.
        It was my final project. And I handed a survey to see who is the better bel canto singer.
        Sutherland--1971 recording
        Sills-------1969 recroding
        Callas------1955 recording
        Here is the results.
        1)Sutherland....40 votes
        2)Sills.........07 votes
        3)Callas........00 votes
        I got an A on the project. And the students were astonished by Sutherland's mad scene by a huge margin, as you can see. NO one voted for Callas.
        Without question, Sutherland is the best coloratura, at least with the Lucia mad scene. But this set has all mad scenes. Some even more difficult than the Lucia. I invite you to hear this, and make up your mind
        Dont let some immature kid who just know how to call people names and bash Sutherland influence you. Listen to Sutherland. You will be a believer.
