perfect circus party music.......2007-05-19

I purchased this for my daughter's 1st birthday party, and it was fabulous background music for the event.

Memories of Happy Times.......2007-04-11

Being a professional performer myself, I really enjoy listening to this music from the circus. It really puts you in a positive mood for the rest of the day no matter what happens. I will often play it when driving to one of my performances to put me "in the mood". I am so glad to have it on CD since my cassette of this item is rather frail. Highly recommended

Perfect!!!.......2006-11-18

I used this CD in a mix for a Big Top themed company picnic. The music was awesome and provided great atmosphere music and made you feel like you were at a real circus.

Great cd!.......2006-02-26

I ordered this so that I could use it at a circus-themed birthday party for one of my friends, and I am absolutely crazy about it! Even before it arrived, I became addicted to the songs; I would get on here and listen to the samples almost every day. After it arrived, not only was I delighted to find that the cd is great quality, but I was also delighted to discover just how great the musicianship is! One of my favorite features is that the little leaflet tells which songs are traditionally played with what kinds of acts, and as I listened, I was amazed at how fitting they each were. I can't decide which tune is my favorite and they are all really catchy. The only problem I have had with this cd is just that--- the catchiness. :) I have been whistling the songs "Clownette", "Wedding of the Winds", "The Booster" and "Broadway One Step" for about three or four days, unable to get them out of my head (my poor friends!). But it's totally worth it! :) I hope you will love this fantastic cd as much as I do!

just like being there.......2005-09-27

This group of performers is smaller and more intimate than the Eastman Wind Ensemble which recorded "Screamers," and therefore feels more like part of a smaller circus traveling the backroads, and performing at schools or in church parking lots. The musical content is just as well done, and just as pleasing. It makes a great compliment to "Screamers."

What a treasure of old style, authentic Americana this music presents. If you haven't been to this smaller type of circus in person, you've certainly seen it in the movies. And this puts you right in the front row. The liner notes are great, as you can picture the sequence of the performers; from their grand entrance, to the finale, with the clowns slipping in here and there.

Wonderful music. I am very happy that I now own it. And I become happier each time I listen to it!

Kristin Chenoweth won a Tony for the supporting role of Sally Brown in the 1999 revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, made a memorably vampy Lily in the 1999 television film of Annie, and had an NBC sitcom created for her, Kristin! Now she grabs the spotlight in Let Yourself Go, her first solo recording. She mixes torchy standards ("My Funny Valentine," "How Long Has This Been Going On?") with Faith Prince-style sauciness ("If"), gets to show off her operatic and scat chops in the miniplay "The Girl in 14G," and shares a light duet with Jason Alexander (reviving his musical theater career post-Seinfeld). Perhaps her "Stranger Here Myself" isn't the weightiest you've ever heard, but this is an enjoyable album with a good deal of old-fashioned class, expertly accompanied by Rob Fisher and the Coffee Club Orchestra. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

One of the best ever!.......2007-04-24

Do I mean the best album or the best singer? You are correct if you said both! I saw Kristin Chenoweth on a PBS show "Broadway's Best at the Pops," (though it was not the first time I had heard her) and decided to check out the offerings here. This is a collection of the kind of music and performances I love. She has a great range, a precise pitch, and a great style that is at the same time true to the music and to herself. In an era when singers try to outdo each other re-interpreting the composer's original work, not usually with great success, she is a blessing!

Kristen Chenowith.......2007-02-26

I bought this CD for the Girl in 14G. Yes, it's that good...

Has its moments.......2007-02-19

After watching Candide endlessly and going to see Ms. Chenoweth in The Apple Tree, I was hungry for something more portable to listen to. At times this fits the bill, but what surprised me the most is how thin her voice comes across on this recording. Perhaps it was the joy of seeing her live that has ruined this listener; perhaps I need to upgrade my aging music system. Then again, maybe the recording is just not as good as Ms. C singing Bernstein or as good as staring at Ms. C command a Broadway stage.

Great CD!.......2007-01-19

I truly enjoy listening to this CD. Kristin Chenoweth's vocal style and abilities are very well-matched to the songs selected for this album. If you enjoy classic, older-style Broadway/popular tunes, I would highly recommend this CD. Ms. Chenoweth has a bright, expressive voice and does a fantastic job with this material.

As with any full-length CD, there are a couple of songs I am not as crazy about, but that has to do with the songs themselves, not Ms. Chenoweth's vocal performance. Overall, I love this album and have listened to it several times now, since receiving it as a Christmas gift last month.

This woman has what it takes, and then some..........2007-01-12

Kristin Chenoweth brings new life to some timeless Broadways tunes while introducing a few wonderful new ones. This high pitched vocal goddess effortlessly provides for a nearly flawless and easy listening experience. I definitly recommend this CD for anyone who enjoys jazz vocals, showtunes, or just a new spin on some old classics.

Not So Much.......2007-04-23

The Stevie Nicks I know considers putting an album together to be a labor of love. Every part of it, choosing the songs, the jacket design and art, setting the tone, even song order, Stevie is very particular, to ensure that each album has a personal and distinct place in her fans' hearts.

Unfortunately, for _Street Angel_ Stevie relied on far too much outside help. The overall mood this album gives is despair and sedation. Nearly every song is over-produced, and the quality is actually worse than that of albums released earlier on more primitive technology. This album contains more songs not written by Stevie herself than any other: big mistake. "Docklands" has no point, no message, I really don't understand why she even recorded it. "Unconditional Love" is unconditional fluff, and the same can be said for "Maybe Love..". These songs don't fit the Stevie Nicks image. The cover of Dylans "Just Like a Woman" sounds so heavily medicated it's hard to listen to, she shouldn't have attempted that.

Many of the songs written by Stevie also stand outside of typical Stevie. "Destiny" adds to the album-wide tone of desperation, and "Kick It" adds to the sedated/heavily medicated feel. "Blue Denim" is decent, but would have worked much better in the '80's.

There are good points; unfortunately, they are out of place on this album and while they stand alone as decent songs, they don't add to the overall integrity of the album.
"Rose Garden" is remeniscent of Buckingham Nicks days, very simple, country influenced. But it should have been released on a much earlier album, doesn't fit this album's "electric rocker" feel. The use of David Crosby in "Street Angel" is beautiful (Stevie is at her best when she harmonizes with men), but it also doen't fit the "electric rocker" feel. I much prefer the remastered and simplified versions of both of these songs that can be found on Enchanted: The Works of Stevie Nicks. Also noteworthy is the final song "Jane." It still adds to that hopeless sensation, but but it pays great homage to Jane Goodall, someone we all can respect.

Overall, I can honestly say that I own this album so that I have a complete Stevie Nicks collection, but it literally never comes off my shelf. This is very atypical of Stevie Nicks: she'll tell you herself that she was always very unhappy with this album. It shows.

A low point in Stevie's long career..........2006-11-21

We have come to expect alot from Stevie. Throughout the 70's and 80's she was not only the coolest female rock star, but influenced an entire generation of female artists. 'Street Angel' is not up to the standard we have come to expect of Stevie.

Firstly, the album is very inconsistent. Brilliant tracks like "Blue Denim", "Destiny" and "Maybe Love" are mixed with filler like "Docklands" and the awful "Jane".

However, there is one bright light in this other-wise below-par album, and that is "Rose Garden". "Rose Garden" was written in 1965, well before Stevie was the famous icon of today, and the song is genuinely heart-breaking, and incredibly well sung - "Street Angel" is worth buying just for this.

If this album was edited slightly, and filler tracks were removed, 'Street Angel' would not be a bad effort at all, but in the way it is, it is less than impressive, but still enjoyable none-the-less.

Not bad at all.......2006-08-20

Though it may not be her best soloalbum ever, it's still essential to any Stevie Nicks collection and features some very good songs.
Honestly, I cannot understand why this albus has been critzised so much. I like it!

Street Angel.......2006-06-27

This is the worst Stevie Nicks album ever. I love Stevie so much I thought that I would like anything she did. I was wrong. I think this album is Stevie without the magic. The songs are just rock songs. It lacks creativity.It has no atmosphere. I knew she would and could do a better album after Street Angel. Thank god her other music is so good.

Stevie Nicks - Street Angel (1994) .......2006-06-27

The 1990's were not kind to Stevie Nicks. First, Fleetwood Mac fell apart. Their album Behind the Mask had a successful Christine McVie single, but Nicks' work was still uneven and the album sank without a ripple. Although many critics attributed the band's fall to Lindsey Buckingham's departure, it should be kept in mind that his solo album of the same period (Out of the Cradle) fared far worse than Behind the Mask. The true reason for the poor performance was the radically changing musical landscape of the time.

As such, it's not really clear why Nicks released Street Angel at all. Her career badly needed an authoritative work to reassert her relevance, and Street Angel is brittle at best and succumbs entirely to the weaknesses that maimed her prior two original efforts. Of course, if Stevie Nicks had embraced the hip hop or grunge trends of the time it would have been a total disaster. Resting on her laurels, though, was not a much better alternative.

Overall, Street Angel is ruined by a combination of poor songwriting and a lack of new (or good) ideas. For example, "Blue Denim" would have been a great song in 1984 but in 1994 it just sounded tired. "Destiny" actually recycles lyrics from "Enchanted," a song off The Wild Heart. "Greta" and "Docklands" are Nicks at her most self-indulgent, and her dreadful cover of "Just Like a Woman" is painful to listen to. There are just enough solid songs to make the album passable, but most of them come from outside writers.

Street Angel came and went with little notice, and Nicks rode out the rest of the decade with a Fleetwood Mac reunion (the hugely successful The Dance) and a lovingly created boxed set (Enchanted). These efforts established her status as an elder spokeswoman of rock. Luckily, Street Angel was the final stop of Nicks' drawn out fall from grace. The new decade would find her producing much better work to a far more receptive public.

A terrific collection of Sousa pieces.......2006-06-09

John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) was one of America's best known composers. And he composed a wide variety of works, mostly for wind band. As a wind band member, I've played many of his marches.

You won't have any difficulty finding albums of Sousa's marches. But what about the rest of his works? This fine album includes a few and the Nonpareil Wind Band, under the direction of Timothy Foley, does an excellent job of playing them.

If I had to choose just eight of Sousa's pieces in order to introduce an audience to Sousa, here is what I would select:

El Capitan
Sound Off
With Pleasure
The Crusader
The Free Lance
The Gladiator
Semper Fidelis
The Fairest of the Fair

As you can see, half of these eight pieces are on this disc. You'll have to look elsewhere to find the others.

I highly recommend this excellent album.

A Grand Sousa Concert, Indeed.......2005-01-31

I'll come right out and say it. I love John Philip Sousa. I find his work addictive, joyous, and often very surprising. This is an album that explains why - it's perfectly arranged and performed, and the selections included could not be any better.

First of all, it's important for folks new to Sousa to understand that no, sir - he didn't compose only marches. Rather a shame that nowadays those are almost exclusively what he's legendary for - they are gems, indeed, but there's far more to the man than what we so often hear in high school bands, hometown parades and national events. Sousa could charm us with playful foxtrots, delight us with unique tangos, caress the ears with heavenly waltzes, and humor us with whimsical cakewalks. Thank goodness this album proves this truth.

Appropriately, the Great American Main Street Band plays each piece with strength, elan and respect - it doesn't get any better. The finest selections include "The Pathfinder of Panama" - a truly rousing march; "The Gliding Girl" - a tango, dedicated to his daughter, Priscilla); "The Presidential Polonaise" - a most noble dance; "La Reine de la Mer" - one of my favorite waltzes, so lovely; and "With Pleasure" - a cakewalk in the most deleriously fanciful fashion. Of course, each piece amongst these stong points is just wonderful, as well.

In all, this is just a flat out great album. Required listening for newly-minted Sousa fans, as well as members of the Old Guard - that would include me. It's a joy to hear, and will become a frequent resident in your CD shuffler - I guarantee that.

Thumbs up.......2003-02-05

Good, crisp rendering of a fine selection of Sousa pieces. Conductor Timothy Foley is well respected.

A great addition.......2005-08-20

Joan Morris and her husband, composer William Bolcom, take another trip back to the early days of Broadway musicals and earlier. In the same groove as their earlier albums, After the Ball and Vaudeville. A great addition to your collection if you love this kind of music, performed the way it was meant to be heard.

Joan Morris and William Bolcom return to their roots.......1999-03-13

Back in 1974, mezzo-soprano Joan Morris, and her husband, William Bolcom, recorded "After the Ball," a collection of turn-of-the-century popular songs, some of which hadn't been recorded since the early part of the century, if ever. Now, after bringing their talents to the music of Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, and most recently, Vincent Youmans, they return to the turn of the century with this delightful collection. Note: no compromises were made with the original turn-of-the-century lyrics; this CD is not for those obsessed with "political correctness." But then, those obsessed with political correctness generally don't have much taste, anyway.

Album Description

Viveza, one of the world's favourite salon groups does it again! With "Encore" this Canadian quintet brings alive salon music from Europe and South America with a freshness and vivacity that you have to hear to believe.

Salon music flourished in the 1920's and 30's, especially in the grand hotels. The repertoire of each ensemble was as varied as the patrons who frequented these fabled "palm courts." In an evening at the Ritz one was likely to hear music from Dvorak to Ravel, Lehar to Brahms or gypsy folksongs.

As you will discover with Viveza's Encore, the salon repertoire offers a cornucopia of tasty delights for your listening pleasure.

A "Sequel" that Surpasses the Original.......2006-08-26

This album tops the previous "Viveza, Music in the Palm Court Style". The groups' inventiveness really shines in this CD. From a marimba version of Piazzola's "Milonga del Angel" to an absolutely smashing version of Moritat (Mack the Knife from Threepenny Opera), the selections are superb. I highly recommend this one!

Great Old-Time Mambo Orchestra.......2006-03-05

Wow, what a needed CD. I love the arrangement of the songs in the style of the mambo of the Palladium Ballroom. I especially liked the no. 7 song, Si Una Vez, for the great arrangement. The singing is great too. Another reviewer trashed it, which is unfortunate. These people are totally uknown and obviously do it for the sheer love of the music. I really wish I could see something like this in my area (Baton Rouge - New Orleans), but since my area is destroyed, nobody is coming here. Anyway, this recording is a blessing.

Amazing.......2005-04-05

This Cd by far should've won the grammy. Amazing arrangements by Angel Melendez. Great music that puts you in a great mood.

Grammy?.......2005-01-04

This Album sounds ok. A grammy nomination is kind of pushing it though. It sounds as if everyone was playing to something different. There is no "meshing" or blending going on. The voicings in the brass aren't the most pleasing to the ear and the phrasing isn't all that hot, but I guess it's kinda hard with so many horns. There is no drive present...No hard swing. The sound quality is the best thing this CD has to offer, thanx to the master engineer Jon Fausty. This CD sounds decent. It's better than some other stuff thats out there, but I wouldn't put it at the top of my list.

AWESOME Minus 1.......2004-07-18

This album is the best thing i have heard in years except for song number 7 the singer there just needs a little more originality, she reminds me of the same recycled stuff i've been trying to avoid the past few years but i can always just skip that song.

Awesome !.......2004-06-03
