Amazon.com essential recording

Layla stands as one of a handful of pillars of classic rock. The short-lived ensemble that was the Dominos provided an outlet for Eric Clapton to vent his then unrequited (and secret) passion for the wife of his best friend, George Harrison. Romantic anguish inspired Clapton to write and collect an embroiling and interconnected song cycle. Meanwhile, latecomer Duane Allman prodded Clapton to tear it up on guitar, so as not to be overwhelmed by his even more talented foil. Of course, Clapton eventually won the hand of his lady love. And then he divorced her. Sometimes real life messes up a good plot line. --Steve Stolder

25 years, 1000+ CD's, and this is my favorite ..........2007-05-25

I bought this LP's, as an angst ridden, teenage girl. I'm now very settled and happy but I continue to love music. I have over 1000 CD's (that are ripped of course) in the blues/rock/alternative genre and actively seek out new artists to add to my collection every year.

It occured to me recently, that out of all the music I own, this is my favorite. I have listened to it countless times, yet it still moves me. So many other reviews have detailed what's so great about this music, that I won't repeat, but somthing magic happened during these sessions.

The studio was on fire........2007-05-08

Duane Allman was the fuel that powered these sessions and the slide playing on this session is as powerful now as when it was recorded. A fantastic collection played with the raw fire that ignited when Clapton and Allman tore into these songs. You can see Eric Clapton playing a number of these songs in 2007 with Derrick Trucks playing the slide parts which is excellent, but Duane had a soulfulness in his playing here that is timeless. A great CD.

The greatest album ever recorded.......2007-03-02

Remember vinyl? Back when records were put out on vinyl I used to say that vinyl had never been put to better use than making this album. It is the greatest album ever made by anyone at any time. I'm not even a big Clapton fan, I don't care about "Guitar Gods" or endless solos or any of that crap. Every song here is heartfelt, anguished and played by musicians who sound like they're on the ledge and could fall at any second. But they don't fall, they hang together and no one ever played better.

Everything builds to the end of the title cut where Clapton invokes Robert Johnson, "Please don't say we'll never find a way, And tell me all my love's in vain." Then the piano coda, and the quietly resigned "Thorn Tree." Perfect, never matched, never surpassed.

EC & Skydog in the Miami Heat.......2007-02-19

The best and sincere white blues there is, Erics masterpiece, this and Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac is the real deal. "Skydog" Duane Allman plays his heart out here also. One note about the guitar(s) sound on this album. This album was recorded using 5 watt Fender Champ tube amps from the 50's, that is why the GTRS sound big, small amps = big sound in the studio.

THE TESTAMENT AND CONFESSIONS IN THE LIFE OF MR. ERIC "SLOWHAND" CLAPTON........2007-02-12

I recently conversed with my friend in New Jersey commending him on a job well done in reviewing some of Rock's most sacred albums by CREAM. Since my friend succeeded in adding more to the CREAM and ERIC CLAPTON legend, I felt inspired in adding more to what my friend has already successfully accomplished by writing a review on one of Rock's most beloved sacred guitarists of all-time, MR. ERIC "SLOWHAND" CLAPTON AKA DEREK AND THE DOMINOES. The legendary album I have chosen to review is one of the all-time greats and is the real stuff that is purely made of Rock legend, "LAYLA." "LAYLA" was originally released in 1970 on Vinyl/LP and 8-Track on the Polydor Records label in association with PolyGram Records. I purchased the original Two-CD release on the RSO Records label in the mid-eighties. I also purchased this legendary album on a special 24KT Gold Plated Compact Disc in the ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING format series which is distributed by Mobile Fidelity Sound lab. This album was remixed using the ULTRADISC II process resulting in adding and giving this legendary album an additional life with a beyond superior sound quality unimaginable. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

MR. ERIC "SLOWHAND" CLAPTON is known the world over as "God." CLAPTON has achieved and accomplished everything beyond every great guitarist's dreams and more. This fact makes you wonder just how much more can CLAPTON push the limits of his expertise and knowledge in revolutionizing the sounds the guitar is really capable of producing and how it would be played. With this in mind, you will hear the real ERIC CLAPTON at his absolute best when he is playing the Blues. It is in the Blues that you will see and feel the true emotions of CLAPTON flowing through his guitar. This natural talent and passion is what makes CLAPTON the legendary guitarist he really is which defines what the real stuff of legend should consist of. In all due respects, "LAYLA" also represents the true testament and confessions of the legendary guitarist. "LAYLA" would contain one of the greatest songs ever recorded. "LAYLA" would also carry one of the many true tales of Rock legend. At the end of the roaring sixties, CLAPTON would already established himself with the reputation as being one of the greatest guitarists of all-time. It was also well documented and publicized during this time period that CLAPTON fancied and fell in love with his best friends wife. CLAPTON'S best friend was EX-BEATLE GEORGE HARRISON, the wife he would steal and later marry is PATTI BOYD HARRISON. What's sad and tragic about this story is that CLAPTON'S love for BOYD HARRISON would often turn to guilt resulting in beginning CLAPTON'S heroin addiction and seclusion. What's also tragic is that CLAPTON'S marriage to BOYD would be short lived and end in divorce. On a good note, believe it or not, CLAPTON'S friendship with HARRISON survived and both remained best friends till the day HARRISON died in December 2001. Everything that happened during this period in the late sixties would inspire CLAPTON to record an album under a different disguised name and proclaim his love for the anonymous woman of his dreams through his music. "LAYLA" is the result of what happened in CLAPTON'S life during that period which discloses and exposes his testament and confessions that he kept bottled up secretly inside him. In reality, PATTI BOYD HARRISON is the real life LAYLA. In my opinion, this time period would be one of the very few that would bring out the best in CLAPTON. In my opinion, "LAYLA" is a well recorded album that is a true testament of a sheer genius and a superb tribute to the legendary guitarist that has been called the greatest guitarist in the world.

But before CLAPTON would record his masterpiece album "LAYLA," CLAPTON would need to find passionate and dedicated musicians that shared his same interests, tastes and visions in music. When CLAPTON recruited fellow music legends BOBBY WHITLOCK, JIM GORDON, CARL RADLE and DUANE ALLMAN, DEREK AND THE DOMINOES would be born and Blues Rock with a mixture of Southern Rock would be taken to the next level and phase.

I will list and briefly review certain songs that are vital and relevant during the recording of this album. If you want to hear vintage CLAPTON playing guitar at his absolute best, listen to the breathtaking song tracks "I Looked Away," "Bell Bottom Blues," "Keep On Growing," "Anyday," "Tell The Truth," "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad," the legendary Hendrix classic "Little Wing," and the legendary song that would inspire and begin the recordings for this album, "LAYLA." CLAPTON plays his guitar with such emotion and passion not heard from him before. In my opinion, the song "Layla" is one of CLAPTON'S all-time greatest achievements and one of Rock's all-time greatest contributions to popular music.

If you want to hear vintage CLAPTON playing the Blues at his very best, listen to the Blues songs "Nobody knows You When You're Down And Out," "Key To The Highway," the emotional confession classic "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" and "It's Too Late."

You will also hear beautiful ballads on this album such as "I Am Yours" and the beautiful acoustic "Thorn Tree In The Garden."

Overall, this is one of the greatest albums ever recorded by anybody. Listening to this album, you can actually feel the pure heart and emotion flowing through CLAPTON'S guitar. All of this passion would rub off on the other musicians which would effect the heart and soul of the music. The album "LAYLA" is the story of life and is actually regarded as a love manual.

I would like to highly recommend that everyone purchase this legendary album to own as a valuable and important part of their own personal music collection. This legendary album has definitely proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many more years to come, NOW AND FOREVER.

In closing, ERIC CLAPTON has continued to bless and grace us with his unique blend and style of guitar playing to this very day. CLAPTON is still regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all-time. Besides HENDRIX, CLAPTON has accomplished so much in Rock n' Roll and Blues music history that CLAPTON doesn't really have anything left to prove. CLAPTON'S place in Rock and Blues history is well secured and will never ever be forgotten. So here's to you ERIC. Keep Persevering. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," am I wrong? Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my reviews in the near future when time permits. CLAPTON RULES. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

You want relaxing classical music that'll soothe your soul but won't lull you into sleep? Here's a double CD for you. The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World ... Ever! does its best to cover both well-worn classical favorites (Bach's "Air on the G String," Pachelbel's "Cannon," Debussy's "Clair de Lune") and some eclectic left-field choices (an excerpt from Górecki's Symphony No. 3, Jocelyn Pook's "Blow the Wind," and Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. The performances of most of these excerpts are top-notch--artists include Sir Neville Marriner, James Galway, Jacqueline du Pré and the Philadelphia Orchestra--and there's enough variety here for everyone. --Edward Garabedian

Customer Reviews:

Lives Up To The Title, Fine Variety Of Genre's........2007-02-04

This CD is a great way to enjoy a large variety of Classical Composers & many of their best known pieces. Vivaldi's "Four Seasons," is an all time favorite. There are vocals, Piano pieces, & some fine Violins. I found the latter the most enjoyable. Here you can find Rodrigo & Pachelbell. Samuel Barber's haunting Adagio will make your skin tingle. This may not be to everyones taste, but if you wish to relax? Give this a couple of listens.

Good for relaxing pregnant women.......2007-01-17

I stumbled onto this album whilst searching bit torrent websites for classical music. I don't normally listen to classical music but thought it might be relaxing for my pregnant wife. After hearing the quality of the performances, the arrangement, and the recording I decided to buy the album from amazon. All the songs you would expect from a "best album in the world" are there and they are not boring to listen to like a lot of other classical albums. I now play this album in the car constantly and the wife requested it be played at the hospital during the birth.

Too much opera.......2007-01-10

If it wasn't for the opera this would be a great CD.

Does what it set out to do, very well.......2006-11-15

So i'm a classical music veteran, someone who prefers to collect a complete work, rather than classical compilations. I probably would not have listened to this album at all if my dad didnt buy it for me as a gift. By now, i own the complete works that over half of the excepts on this disc come from. I am a purist if ever there was one.

That said, i totally adore this set because i have learned to take it on its own terms. These discs weren't meant for expert classical listeners, so a review from that sort of mindset is useless. This set was meant for pure, easy listening, and for a basic starters kit for classical newbies. Most of all, it was just meant to do what the title says, to relax the average human being. classical expert or not.

Yes, some of these pieces have been altered or shortened, like Mozart's Flute and Harp Concerto Andantino, but they have been edited for a good enough reason: the full versions would have been too long to flow with the rest of the album. And also, the full versions contain so much development that they don't become easy listening anymore. The shortened versions work in the context of the album. Most essentially, the shortened versions on the discs still convey the main flavor the composers were going for. The melodies and themes remain unchanged.

To sum up, it is true that when i want to actually listen deeply to classical music, this album would never be a choice. I would want to hear the complete works like the composers intended. But at certain times when i simply don't mind about that stuff, when i just need to loosen up and free my mind of stress with some nice melodies, this set does the job well enough.

Last but not least: being a purist and a classical buff, i am very particular about performance quality. I was very glad to find that EMI did not get lazy about this. All the artists are world-class, and all the performances are at least exceptional. Some performances are even quite excellent, like the Clair De Lune, which is one of the best i've heard. (Credit to Dame Lympany, the pianist.)

So once again, recommended for its stated purpose, to relax. I am a purist, a classical buff, and i still enjoy this disc. That says something.

TRULY The most relaxing and beautiful music ever written........2006-11-10

This album along with Volume 2 are now the two most valued albums in my music collection. I have all of the songs contained on these two albums but they are scattered through at least a dozen different albums and several are not performed by artists such as those that recorded this album and Volume 2.

This is probably my favorite Phil Collins album. Most of the songs here are easy-going and calm to listen to. Perfect for listening to on a long trip. Listening to it on a short trip wouldn't hurt either. Or just letting the music put you to sleep at night is good to do, too.

This two-record set on one CD collects 16 Paul Simon hits from his solo career after Simon & Garfunkel without much rhyme or reason. The selections are not in chronological order and several of the cuts are oddly chosen. Those minor points aside, there are some landmark works presented on these discs. "Hearts and Bones" is a brilliant depiction of a crumbling love affair, while "Slip Slidin' Away" uncovers the hurt of divorce and middle age with a groove that's pure mid-'70s decadent. Simon's infatuation with rhythm is all over the place, from the reggae of "Mother and Child Reunion" to the South African bounce of "You Can Call Me Al." --Rob O'Connor

God I hate Walmart.

You can call him genius.......2007-02-22

Paul Simon not only wrote words and music, he performed his own songs too. His passionate voice displays a quiet yet potent masculine strength to it on this album. The CD gives us most of his very best from the years 1971 through 1986. The sound is great and this CD ably demonstrates Paul's prowess as a musician.

The CD opens with the reggae ballad entitled "Mother And Child Reunion." Although the title might suggest a happy event, Paul sings from the perspective of a man who might not be too comfortable with this reunion. "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard" is a playful, upbeat song even though the person Paul sings of is in trouble with his parents and probably the law as well. Nevertheless, Paul's character remains unrepentant for any errors in his judgment. Indeed, he plans to run away with his buddy Julio so that he can be free from his parents and the law.

"Something So Right" boasts a beautiful melody and Paul delivers this song with great sensitivity; and "St. Judy's Comet" is a touching ballad about a father putting his child to bed. The words and music for "St. Judy's Comet" make this song a masterpiece.

Other classic and famous ballads on this retrospective CD include "Kodachrome;" "Have A Good Time" with its laid back musical arrangement and exquisite lyrics and "Still Crazy After All These Years" which tells the story of two former lovers meeting by chance and spending some time together. "Still Crazy After All These Years" sports a wonderful instrumental segment between verses, too.

"50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" certainly got its share of air time when it was released. Paul meets a woman and she encourages him to leave his current lover even if he doesn't become her own boyfriend. The melody stuns you with its sophisticated arrangement. The numerous "ways to leave your lover" are presented in a sing-song manner that is in sharp contrast to the sadness of a couple's breakup.

"Late In The Evening" also sports a reggae melody with a great backup chorus; and "Slip Slidin' Away" explores the experience of a couple's breakup with dreams of what could have been instead of the sadness of their failed relationship. In addition, "Hearts And Bones" has a great musical arrangement--love that guitar!

The CD closes with the famous "You Can Call Me Al." Amazon correctly notes that this number has a South African beat to it. The song sports a catchy, upbeat melody as it explores the good and bad of relationships.

The liner notes spend too much time on song credits. I would have liked an essay about Paul and his work but that is a minor disappointment.

Paul Simon remains one of the most successful songwriters of our time. Paul Simon's words and music explored universal topics relating to basic human emotions and everyday experiences. Paul will never be forgotten; his work will live on for quite some while to come. If you liked this CD I recommend other Paul Simon CDs including The Paul Simon Anthology and Surprise. Fans of rock and pop will also enjoy this CD.

My favorite.......2007-02-06

This is my all-time favorite album. Ever.

Although I only ever listen to half the songs on it, it's not the quantity that counts here. It's the quality.

The fact that Paul wrote both lyrics and music for every song on this wonderful album is a testament to his incredible talent in both those areas. The unique lyrics to songs such as Call Me Al, Slip Slidin' Away, and Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard are what set him apart from more mundane, cookie-cutter lyricists. They push him into the category of poet. And, the music is equally as refreshing, even after all these years. His unique phrasing also sets him apart.

The variety on this album makes it one I never tire of listening to. A definite gem, and the prize of my collection.

the man with the golden quill.......2007-01-06

Question: How does a man with such an ordinary voice and diminutive stature toss off a whole anthology of agile, smart hits with an edgy title and huge listenability?

Answer: He writes. Good grief, but the man writes.

There is a lyrical agility about the work of Paul Simon that stands almost unequalled in his period. A notion of liberal irony with a common touch leaks through most of his tunes and it ends up endearing the man and his songs to people across a wide continuum of opinion. I suspect that's because of the self-deprecating note Simon characteristically strikes.

The sheer verbal smarts of these songs, combined with what classical critics might call the occasional 'musical joke' astounds in retrospect, especially when one ponders the fact that we're only talking about sixteen years of music (a mere two-and-a quarter years in dog time).

Must be heard once a year to avoid still-crazy-after-all-these-years syndrome.

EZ listening from EJ.......2007-07-04

Calling this "Love Songs" is something of a misnomer. I would be hard pressed to call "Daniel" or "Candle In The Wind" love songs as much as they are romantic ballads. But as a collection of Adult Contemporary hits from Elton John, this is a good greatest hits. Elton and Bernie Taupin were always masters of popcraft, and when they took aim at a ballad, they were often the best of their time.

"Love Songs," released by MCA just before Elton switched labels to Island Records, covers material from 1970 ("Your Song") to 1985 ("Blessed"). There were two so-so new songs, and also the hits from "The Lion King." (Saving you from buying the lackluster soundtrack.) What "Love Songs" doesn't do is present the full spectrum of Elton; instead of "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting," you get "Blue Eyes." If all you want is Elton's pleasantries, this will do fine. Otherwise, I'd suggest "Rocket Man: Number Ones," "Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002" or even "To Be Continued...."

So much more than mindless muzak--BRAVO, ELTON JOHN !!!.......2007-06-04

This CD of just a few of Elton John's love ballads gives us a collection of some of the very best love songs of all time. When Elton sings these songs, you listen--and you listen closely, too, because only Elton could deliver these rich and stunning numbers with a flair all his own.

The CD track set begins with "Can You Feel The Love Tonight;" this ballad is from the soundtrack to the movie The Lion King. Elton's voice is rich, warm and full of masculine sensitivity. Elton's piano playing leaves nothing to be desired; and the lush musical arrangement features a sublime backup chorus, too. "The One" celebrates the joy Elton feels when he has found the perfect lover for him; again the musical arrangement glistens like gold. The overall effect of both "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and "The One" produces a heavenly effect that I rarely enjoy from any singer. Great!

Then there's the classic Elton John ballad, "Daniel." "Daniel" gives Elton the opportunity to sing about the sadness he feels when his man has left him. The percussion enhances the beauty of this number; and Elton's voice is in top form here as it is throughout the CD. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" changes gears as Elton now sings about how relieved he feels to realize--before it's too late--that his love affair will never bring him true happiness. The lyrics reflect great judgment and Elton's voice exudes a type of sensitivity that showcases his remarkable talent.

"Your Song" is probably my favorite love ballad on his CD; the straightforward lyrics require no interpretation and Elton sings this straight from the bottom of his heart. The musical arrangement stuns you with its beauty; and the piano and strings are well used in the musical arrangement. "Your Song" always moves me deeply.

Other golden nuggets on this album include the marvelous live duet Elton does with George Michael entitled "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" and the sublime "Blue Eyes" which deals with the sadness Elton's woman feels when he needs to go away from her for a while. "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" explores the heartbreak Elton feels as he realizes a love he wants so badly will never exist. There is a live recording of "Candle In The Wind," too; this song deals with misunderstanding other people using Marilyn Monroe as an example. Excellent!

"You Can Make History (Young Again)" stuns me with its beauty; and the CD ends fittingly with "Circle Of Life" from the movie entitled The Lion King. "Circle Of Life" provides the album with an especially strong ending.

The liner notes give you the lyrics and the song credits; and the cover picture of Elton is excellent, too.

Elton John possesses the ability to take words and music, fuse them together, give them a special injection of passion as only he can and finally perform these ballads with great panache and pure elegance. Elton blesses us with his artistry; and I can only hope that if we're lucky Elton will continue to perform for many years to come.

Elton John Love Songs.......2007-03-12

A nice collection of Elton John's love songs. Great for Valentines Day or a nice gift fo your sweetheart.

Fans can never be objective..........2006-05-06

From the OBJECTIVE reviewer...a great overview it isn't, but as a concept album it is great...plus both of the new songs are really good especially "You Can Make History" and for those two reasons worth the 4 stars.

I really like this CD but..........2005-12-19

I bought this CD as a Valentine's Day gift for my wife (another reviewer also mentions that as a good idea). It is a great collection of Elton John material that we both really enjoy, BUT as some other reviewers have pointed out, it is not completely filled with love songs. I would have left off "Circle of Life" (although I like the song) in favor of "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues." Also, I didn't realize when I bought it that the CD includes the live George Michael version of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" instead of Elton's original studio version, which I would have preferred. As a result, I find myself almost always skipping this track.

Impeccable Songs and Sound!.......2007-06-12

The Clapton/Allman/Gordon Rock 'n Blues in Surround Sound!? Fantastic! "Layla" and "Bell Bottom Blues" never looked or sounded so good! This album was the only studio album produced by Eric Clapton, Duane Allman and veteran drummer Jim Gordon. The SACD Surround Sound is less distinct than most, but still gives the strong feel of a studio presence. Classic songs with classic arrangements.

SACD cannot work miracles.......2005-12-15

I used to have the optimistic point of view that, in the digital age, old music could be infinitely improved if it was properly remixed and remastered. Time has shown that the best of the digital "redos" can only be as good as the original source tape, whether the original stereo master or the original multitracks.

It's obvious now, after at least six attempts at digital remastering (the original CD reissue, the boxed set in '90, the Mobile Fidelity release in '93, the '96 remaster and now the SACD edition), that the original tapes are not that well recorded. We've heard excuses for this, that everything was recorded live (and LOUD) and there was a lot of bleed between mics, that it was the beginning of multitrack technology and therefore noisy, that everyone, including the engineers, was stoned, etc., etc.

None of the excuses, except for the drugs, really holds up. They were working in a fine studio with state of the art equipment, a place where other artists made fine sounding records at that time. Also, I don't think they were playing all that loud, as Clapton was using a Pignose (small amp) for much of the session. But even if they were playing loud, I doubt that they could top the volume level of Who's Next, for instance, and that's a fine sounding LP.

Anyway, it is what it is. It's obvious now that there will be no significant improvement on the way this LP sounds. It will always sound claustrophobic, muddy and midrange heavy. You know they've gone back to the multitracks at least twice (20th Anniversery was remixed and they had to use the multitracks for the 5.1 on the SACD) with no significant improvement.

So I guess we just have to appreciate the subtle improvements, and, to disagree with several other reviews, I think they are here. I own all the other remasters, and I've felt like the best were the Mobile Fidelity and the '96 remaster. Tough to declare a winner there; each has their pros and cons, and the difference is definitely subtle. Last night, I did an A-B comparision of each of those with this SACD, and the SACD is a marked improvement on the bottom end. The drums also have more detail. When the tape becomes more saturated (i.e., when all those guitar overdubs kick in) like on Anyday, it still becomes a quagmire. But on sparser songs, like Have You Ever Loved A Woman, the improvement is considerable.

Our ears (and minds) are tricky animals. When looking for improvement in a recording such as this, it is not fair to compare to another recording. Layla will never sound like Who's Next or Abbey Road. Different musicians, different studio, different conditions. And Layla will never be a CD to demo speakers with. But when comparing apples to apples, I guarantee this SACD is the best sounding Layla yet.

Classic, of course.......2005-09-07

No words necessary for the content so this will be for the sound of the disc. The surround is a very good mix that gives you a spread across the front of the instruments and especially in the first few tracks with Clapton's strat. Finally, you're able to hear instruments and vocals clearer than ever before. I agree with another reviewer that said if you wanted a state of the art demo disc for SACD, this wasn't it. But I will say this is the best version of this classic recording available now. Yes, it will sound great on the CD layer, but you need SACD to really appreciate this disc.

Cleaner and clearer.......2005-03-16

Layla is one of the great albums of Rock Music and stands as Clapton's personal opus. The addition of Duane Allman at his peak is a huge bonus and the key catalyst in the creation of this masterpiece. Bobby Whitlock, Carl Raddle and Jim Gordon never played any better then on this.

I own two vinyl copies (Aust & US), CD release, Anniversary box set and now the SACD. I agree with other reviewers that the original CD release was the usual poor transfer from the equalized-for-vinyl master tape. The anniversary box set was a significantly improved transfer but this SACD raises the bar.

The extra spread across the front channels and sub clarifies the sound. What it clearly shows is that the recording was live in the studio plus overdubs and redubs. The guitars can be clearly heard through the drum mikes and the drums through the vocals mikes, which seem to be just left on most of the time. The bass is now present with a strong bottom end and with judicious adjusting of the sub, nicely balanced against the guitars. It's the clearer separation of the guitars that provides increased clarity (the rears are only used for ambience and I turn them well down). However it remains a sonically flawed recording due to its live-in-the-studio recording and jamming music style. But that's what also gives the brilliant music its distinctive sound - Tom Dowd was interested in capturing the music and admits he just kept the tapes rolling. Thus the sound is a bit raw and rough, which amplifies spontaneous feel to the process of creating the highly sophisticated music that is Layla.

Layla and Other Love Songs gone wrong.......2005-03-06

I first bought Derek and the Dominoes "Layla and Other Love Songs" in 1972 as a high school boy and have since kept it close to my heart as many have and will do as long as guitars and yearning coincide. I bought the double LP, expensive then at $14.00. I wore that out, bought the 8 track, passed by the cassette version, bought the first version of the CD and now the SACD version. That's approx. $100.00 worth of "Laya", cheap at half the price, I suppose considering the music...
Yet..
I am not a vynle purist. I have plenty of 45 and LPs that sound better than CD/SACD/DVDaudio. But for the most part, new technology has brought out nuance and crisp sound that has just not been avaiable to some older recordings. Plus the thrill of 5.1 sound adds a kick to us audiophiles.
The first release of "Layla" on stereo LP played on a home HiFi through conventional speakers sounded as it should when recorded. Clear, crisp sound loud when it should have been, quiet when it meant most. We knew 8 track would sound awful so that doesn't count it was meant to be played loud in a car with a girlfriend on a bench seat. The first CD version was so bad that I checked my ears for mud.
Now the new SACD hybrid: The SACD doesn't sound much better than the old version. If you have 5.1 capability, you might find a few surprises. The lower ends are less full, but the high ends sound terrific. The vocals are in line and the phasing seems right. Channel separation is at best somewhat haphazard. Center seems fine, rear fades in and out.
Bottom line: If one is looking for the thrill of 5.1 sound, it ain't here. If one wants a clear clean version, then, yes okay fine, this is the one to buy. However, if you still have a nice LP without too many scratches, then put that one on. Oh and if you have the 45 version of " Tell the Truth" produced by Phil Spector play that instead

Customer Reviews:

Not the best recording.......2007-07-15

The songs were played flawlessly, however, it's really quiet. When you turn up the volume, you will hear hissing in the background.

Stunning Goldberg Aria.......2006-02-21

Who is the performer of that amazing recording of the Goldberg Aria??!?! It must be Gould.

Great CD.......2006-01-29

Nice set of songs. I enjoyed it a lot, I see no reason why anyone wouldn't like this CD set.

Piano Perfection!.......2005-10-16

Saw it on TV and thought the music was beautiful, but forgot to write the information down... but managed to buy it online (now I see it frequently at the music stores)and I absolutely love this album -- all my favorite pieces! (I'm not big on writing comments or reviews, but was compelled by the artistry and passion I heard throughout this CD!)

A Classic in Every Sense!.......2005-10-12

I overheard some people at the record store talking about this album - one guy was actually a piano teacher and couldn't stop raving about it. I bought the album on his recommendation and couldn't be happier - it's stunningly beautiful. Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata is haunting and Chopin's "Minute Waltz" is spectacular in its precision and speed! This will make a great stocking stuffer at Christmas for my friends (... I'm getting them now cause I've gone to a couple places and they're out of stock). If you're into piano, this is truly a classic!

Customer Reviews:

Itzhak Perlman plays Fritz Kreisler.......2007-01-11

I love this album. I owned it in a long play record for years and now have the CD to listen to. I love violin music and this is the best.

Kreisler flies again.......2006-04-26

One of my earliest memories is of listening to Kreisler playing his works on 78 rpm records. Many of these are what Perlman is playing oon this collection. The notes make a disclaimer: Perlman is not trying to play these "like Kreisler".

Well, I own a Kreisler CD of transcriptions -- a couple of them, in fact, and the characteristics that endear his playing to us Perlman has in full measure. Perlman is fully immersed in Kreisler feeling, something he attested to in an interview ("The Violinist", on DVD) and I humbly suggest that he is unsurpassed in this repertoire. The pianist is uncannily like Kreisler's own accompanist, and the sense of nostalgia is very strong indeed!

There are three other violinists --at least-- with Kreisler collections out" Gil Shaham, Joshua Bell, and Kennedy. Of these, I think Gil Shaham does a beautiful job; I have not heard the other two.

I recommend this recording very highly indeed. The playing is as full of insidious charm and romantic almost to the point of sentimentality, which in my view is not a bad thing at all. (Gil Shaham's self-effacing style is lighter, providing a contrast for those who think that's what they want.)
