5 out of 5 stars Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

5 out of 5 stars Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

5 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

3 out of 5 stars Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Eminem: love him or hate him? It's no surprise that Slim Shady evokes such conflicted feelings--he's easy to champion and disparage alike, and this new D12 album doesn't make the decision any easier. Though hip-hop's pale wonder is now joined by his five, conspicuously black Detroit peers, this still sounds and feels like a Marshall Mathers project. The biting disses of MTV pop figures ("Ain't Nuttin' But Music")--still there. The dark journeys into faux psychosis ("American Psycho," "Devils Night")--still there. The big middle finger at conservatives, conformists, and critics ("That's How," "Purple Pills," "S*** Can Happen")--still there. And throw in Dr. Dre's production alongside Denaun Porter's lumbering funk tracks and Em's own beats, and this is basically the third Eminem album. Besides, he's still the most interesting of the six D12 members to listen to--slicker lyrics, better flow, and just a more engaging personality. Which, of course, is telling the listener to go to hell. Bottom line: If you liked the last two Eminem albums, this one won't disappoint. And if you hated the last two, at least you have the other D12 members to distract your attention. --Oliver Wang

5 out of 5 stars Devils Night .......2006-11-03

Of the two albums D12 has out, this is the definitely the better of the two. The best songs are Aint Nuttin' But Music, Purple Pills, Pimp Like Me, Blow My Buzz, and Revelation.

5 out of 5 stars D-12's Debut.......2006-07-14

Alright now a lot of you people put down D-12 just 'cause Em is in it. But here's the thing, Eminem is not the whole group! There are 5 other very talented rappers in this group. Bizarre (definately the one that will shock and offend you the most with his "bizarre" rhymes), Proof (R.I.P.), Swifty, Kuniva, and Kon Artis. D-12 has been through 2 deathes (Proof, and late member Bugz who passed before production even began on this album) but still going strong. They are a very talented group and this CD is definately worth the cash. However if you don't like cuss words, stay the hell away from this CD. If you are easily offended, stay away from this disc. If you don't like Em, stay away. Basically if you don't like rap, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ALBUM.

R.I.P. Proof and Bugz, may you give strength to the rest of D-12 to continue recording.

5 out of 5 stars D12 Debut.......2006-07-11

This is D12's first album and not a dissapointment. It has the rap superstar Eminem but Eminem isn't the only thing that make's this worth buying because the rest of them are pretty good aswell. Bizarre is great with his cool voice and funny lyrics and the rest of them have great lyrics and voices aswell. D12 is handsdown the illest most explicit rap band ever!

R.I.P. Proof

5 out of 5 stars Great Debut.......2006-05-29

This is my favorite group right now and this album is there first major release and a great one too. All the guys in the group add a different kind of flavor to the music and I like that a lot. I like every song on here except "Nasty Mind" because Bizarre is too weird and the song is pointless but other then that this is a solid group project and worth your money. Anyways they lost another member Proof who was shot just like there other member Bugz who would have made it big if he was still with us but R.I.P. to both rappers and hopefully D12 can come out with another album besides they sophmore album which was below average. Buy this it is worth every penny.

4 out of 5 stars 4.5 star debut from D12 -- R.I.P. Proof.......2006-04-17

Eminem and his 5 man crew from Detroit bring you a very solid debut album when many said it wouldn't or couldn't happen. He shows his crew just ain't his boys but they got skills as well, not to mentionlyrics that are as off the wall and controversial as Slim's. With 15 songs you get a good showing of all the members. Em is on 14 of the songs, Proof (R.I.P.) is on 9, Bizarre is on 11, Kon Artis is on 13, Kuniva & Swifty are on 12. Of the 15 songs 2 are classics, 1 is almost a classic, 1 I skip, 3 are ok, and the rest are good or great songs. Production is tight. Eminem does 8 songs, Dr. Dre does 4, and Kon Artis does 3. A nice album to have for fans of D12 or Slim Shady.

5 out of 5 stars One of America's great songwriters.......2001-03-09

Amid the Cole Porters, Irving Berlins and George Gershwins of the world, Harold Arlen tends to be forgotten. And yet, when the greatest song of the 20th century was recently voted on by a distinguished panel of critics, whose song came out on top? Mr. Arlen's (Over the Rainbow). Here is a superb cross section of Harold Arlen songs by a cast ranging from Judy Garland to Bing Crosby to Ethel Waters, spanning decades and spanning a wide range of styles, from jazz to ballads, poignant to funny. Although the sound is not ideal, as many of the recordings date from the 30's and Pearl's objective in remastering has always been to achieve the fullest musical sound rather than to reduce surface noise, this is a minor complaint given the rich and mind-opening selection of great music found here.

5 out of 5 stars "Elmer Bernstein conducts film scores of Bernard Herrmann".......2004-10-28

Milan Records presents Elmer Bernstein conducting The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with this digitally remastered "Bernard Herrmann Film Scores ", from "CITIZEN KANE" [1942], "THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER" [1942], "THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH" [1956], "PSYCHO" [1959], "THE WRONG MAN" [1957], "VERTIGO" [1958], "NORTH BY NORTHWEST" [1959], "THE BRIDE WORE BLACK" [1967], "FAHRENHEIT 451" [1966], "TAXI DRIVER" [1973]...and the final track is "BERNARD HERRMANN ON FILM MUSIC" [recorded early 1970s]...which clearly states why music is an additional character to any film, without it the film would be incomplete...during the silent film era, the piano player kept the audience tuned into what was happening, whether it was a love scene or danger lurking around every corner.

Herrmann completely mesmerizes us with his themes, blending variations with eloquent and subtle cues...depicting each character in the film, and fine tuned to the story-line ~ he was a genius and knew his craft well...relies heavily on strings, usually with lyrical solos for the winds...absolute in capturing the essence of each scene, musically letting the audience in through his score ~ the result is colors come shining through with wonderful arrangements...many of the classic film scores have become cult favorites among "film-score-buffs" like me and collectors alike.

Each film score is superb and very strong...the balance of the instruments and experimental touches of Bernard Herrmann are all just brilliant ~ working with directors like Welles, Dieterle, Hitchcock, Truffaut and Scorsese all were very conscious of classic film music and and Herrmann's cues really came through...each outing was nothing less than a bravo performance...those who ignored Herrmann during his career, really missed out...cause all the diehard collectors of film music knew he was a WINNER! ~ Bernard Herrmann [1911-1975].

    5 out of 5 stars Moros Eros ~I Saw The Devil Last Night And Now The Sun Shines Bright~.......2007-01-05

    Moros Eros' I Saw the Devil Last Night And Now The Sun Shines Bright is odd. The album brings together rock, pop and dance the way Head Automatica did on Decadence: with a blatant disregard for genre.

    Driven by thick bass lines and vocals that bob and weave between being Robert Smith, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, and maybe even a little Brandon Flowers from The Killers--this band combines hand claps, synth pop and dissonant chord progressions to create what is mildly danceable and wholy entertaining.

    This band's song do not lay claim to one singular style or feel as they branch out and cover as much as they can within the standard song structure though the aforementioned singers would also be the first place I'd point to as an influence with more of a garage sound than any of them.

    Highly recommended to those you ready to throw caution to the wind and take a chacne on a band that actually has a new sound. Do not buy this if you want the straight forward and normal!

    3 out of 5 stars Classic - Hold the Chills.......2006-06-25

    This is a fine collection of mostly classical themes.
    Some of them have nice creepy moments, but on the whole, it's just some solid music. Not something to buy if you want really "spooky" music, but worthwhile for some interesting listening.

    5 out of 5 stars Packed with creepy stuff.......2000-12-16

    This is an awesome album. It starts off with thunder crashing, running footsteps, a gate creaking, the wind howling, a cat screeching, a door opening, a woman crying that she needs help....and then SCREAMING! And then straight into track 2, the overture to 'The Phantom of the Opera'. Wow! The rest of the cd also features 'creepy' music from various sources, such as Alfred Hitchcock films, like Psycho, various classic works like Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Night on Bald Mountain', and also some other creepy sound effects. A good album not only for Halloween but I dare you to listen to it during a dark night with a thunderstorm raging outside.

    5 out of 5 stars A real work-out for your system.............1999-12-11

    I've owned the "Chiller" CD since it's release in '89. At the time, I was working for a local Audio/Video/Music dealer, and was looking for 'demo' CD's containing not necessarily heavy bass, but ones displaying incredible dynamic range, and sharp transient peaks. I already owned a copy of "Time Warp", also on Telarc, and was intrigued when I read about "Chiller. Needless to say, I was extremely pleased with this disc. Not only did I get a disc containing some great treatments of classics, but the re-make of the "Psycho" suite is wonderful (the shower sequence is very faithful to the original)! A word of warning.....the dynamic range of this disc is not to be underestimated.....I drove an older amplifier into thermal shutdown VERY quickly with track #1. I haven't tried it since I've upgraded my home system....hmmm....might have to scare the neighbors tonight (or at least rattle a few dental fillings)!

    5 out of 5 stars Great stuff!.......1999-10-09

    This CD contains tons of great classic Halloween tunes. Even though the names might sound unfamiliar, you probably know most of the music on here through cultural osmosis. Heck, it's worth it just for "Funeral March of a Marionette" (the Alfred Hitchcock show theme.)

      5 out of 5 stars An excellent exploration of Arlen.......1999-07-20

      Julie Wilson offers another masterclass performance of songs by Harold Arlen with his numerous lyricists. Arlen's name is not as well known as some of his contemporaries, but his talents as a songwriter were magnificent. Julie Wilson and William Roy mine the Arlen songbook to produce an album of sterling quality, delivering delightful duets on such gems as 'Push De Button' and 'Lydia The Tattooed Lady'. Wilson offers brilliant readings of ballads and rhythm songs, capturing the mood and flavour of each song perfectly. Her sensuous take on 'Last Night When We Were Young' is particularly compelling. Roy's piano embellishments are, as ever, full of wit, sensitivity and formidable musicianship. A stunning offering.

      5 out of 5 stars fascinating, multi layered performance, never boring.......1999-03-15

      no matter how many time you listen to her, you'll hear something new each time. Julie Wilson is the consumate cabaret singer.
