Schubert: The Masterworks [Box Set]

Customer Reviews:
One of the best of the Masterworks series.......2007-07-06
You're unlikely to throw away much of this Schubert collection though. This seems to be the finest of the Masterworks sets, with a succession of solid, often first-rate performances of most of the major Schubert works. Here's what you get:
- The symphonies, performed by The Hanover Band in a historically-informed style. Very interesting performances perhaps marred by an odd recording balance that makes the woodwinds sound distant. Takes up four CDs
- The six Latin masses. Also the Deutsche Messe in the version with wind instruments. Five CDs in all
- Edison Denisov's completion of Schubert's unfinished dramatic work Lazarus (2 CDs, Helmuth Rilling's premier recording)
- The last four string quartets (including the Quartettsatz) with #9 thrown in. Also the octet, piano quintet ("The Trout"), string quintet and both piano trios. In short all the canonical chamber works. Performances are strong, and well recorded
- Two CDs of violin/piano duets, including Op. 137 and Op. 162
- 19 of the 21 "canonical" piano sonatas (missing #7 and #12) as well as the Moments Musicaux, Impromptus, German Dances, Wanderer Fantasy and several other piano works, 11 CDs in all. As with the chamber music, the performances and recordings are strong, often stunning
- Two CDs of piano duets, including the Divertissements and D. 617
- Song cycles: Die Schöne Müllerin, Winterreise, Schwanengesang, and four CDs of standalone songs, including such "standards" as Erlkönig and Gretchen am Spinnrade. The singers are a bit uneven here, ranging from standouts Robert Holl, Deitrich Fischer-Dieskau and John Shirley-Quirk to the somewhat shrill Arleen Augér
Missing from the collection is Rosamunde, and a number of famous songs: Die Forelle (The Trout), Death and the Maiden, Ellens Gesang III (the so-called Ave Maria, D. 839), Der Hirt auf dem Felsen and Der Wanderer. But you do have almost all the important instrumental works, and most of the vocal works generally considered to be essential, with some padding added in the form of minor works such as the parochial Deutsche Messe, the German Dances, and the modernist-informed completion of Lazarus by the 20th Century Russian composer Denisov.
As with the other Masterworks sets, there are no program notes. You'll need to do your own research. Answers.com is a good starting point for Schubert compositions. There are also no song texts or translations provided, so again you'll need to track down your own. Try "The Lied and Art Song Texts Page" for lieder lyrics and translations. Hunt down a good price on this collection, browsing one of Amazon's European sites if necessary, and treat yourself to many hours of lovely music for the cost of a modest night out.

Har Mar is My Superstar!.......2007-05-22
with Drew Barrymore, who I love. She raved about it, so I thought I should check it out. It is by far one of the best albums I have ever heard. Completely feel good all around. Everyone needs this in their collection. Buy it, I promise you'll love it!
5 Star Superstar!.......2007-04-20

A tarnished, tainted piece of old trash (and that's an overstatement).......2006-03-06
The first time I ever questioned God's very existence was after hearing HANDLER for the very first time. My brother snagged it from a local radio station he occasionally volunteered at and told me about how funny it is. I expected comedy, not excruciatingly horrendous garbage. The album is so bad that when I go into a music store, I am terrified by the possibility of coming across it accidentally (I can often be found avoiding the "H" section altogether). The reason I questioned God was that I didn't think God could create someone awful enough to record an album like HANDLER.
This album may have received two stars had it not been for the completely repulsive track "Back The Camel Up," where his sexual metaphors are about as witty as any rejected, three-legged camel could conjure. One may go as far to say that this album is horrifying and should never, ever be given to anyone who has ever had any suicidal thoughts, because this album would send them over the deep end and possibly into a filled bathtub face down or off a thousand-foot cliff. If possible, I would give this album a negative score, but that's impossible, so the worst I can possibly rate it is 1 star, and that is what it deserves. It's not worthy of one star. It's not worth any stars.
Bravado & Beats.......2005-07-09
With friends like Ben Stiller, Owen Willson, Karen O, and many others, his personality must be as funny and engaging as it comes off on this record. While most R&B albums get stuck in a stylistic rut, "The Handler" offers a lot of diversity. Admittedly, rump-shaking tracks like "DUI" and "Transit" are what Har Mar does best. And there are quite a few upbeat dance numbers here, including "Cut Me Up" with the aforementioned Karen O. He also throws in an amazing cover of Gilbert O'Sullivan's classic "Alone Again (Naturally)" which ends things on a poignant note. Every song on the album is filled with hooks and perfectly produced. If this guy isn't a household name in a few years, I'll be pretty sad.
Buy "The Handler," and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Buried Nancy and Lee at the Crossroads.......2004-09-18
The music on SNAKE HANDLER is bone snapping rock-n-roll; like a homage to Quinton Tarantino, stories of pulp fiction which dance the devil's doo-dah. The vocal and lyrical interplay match Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood during their 'Some Velvet Morning' sing-a-longs (though if on a double date only Julie and Chris would've returned home).Try DH's 'summer wine' with strychnine and peyote and 'Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye'.
Strong psycho-death-folk-rock from a group travelling The Golden Road to Hell...THE DIVINE HORSEMEN, oh yeah!

Customer Reviews:
best complete box set of Schuberts masses for the price.......2006-11-10
The instruments are heard loud and clear, but it sounds as though the mic is too far away from the singers sometimes. It is still good though, a much better deal than the vox box that costs almost as much. This one also comes with a few extras and a complete German mass that the Vox Box set seems to lack. It's too bad there are no samples for this one, everyone buys the one with the samples but if you just take a chance on this one, you won't be disappointed.

Customer Reviews:
A great many Strauss lieder, done with radiant enthusiasm.......2006-01-09
Not all listeners will take immediately to Shirai's mezzo, which is in very good shape here in 1993-94 when the singer was in her early forties. Her throaty tone tends to be a bit matronly and shiny bright at the same time. She certainly doesn't have a standard German voice, but then Shirai is the leading (and only?) Japanese lieder specialist in the world. One can udnerstand why she has a host of loyal fans--nothing here is less than deeply committed and intense. Her then-husband, Hartmut Holl, accompanies superbly, and the recorded sound is fine.
