Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Music of the people.......2005-04-23

On Eagles Wings is most definatly inspired.... Latin Music is great if you understand itm but I have not heard any conversations in Latin lately. The most important aspect of liturgy is the participation of the assembly and if the assembly (or most of it) does not understand what is being sung or said What's the use? Catholic Tradition is great kept alive on CD for those who want to walk down memory lane but it is a Vatican 2 church......deal with it or get out and join one of those rougue churches that say mass in Latin and stop trying to move backwards. There is nothing more powerful than a singing actively participating church.......let's not stiffle the voice of the Body of Christ.

Good But Not Haunting Or Mysterious........2005-02-27

Hello, this music is good but it is not haunting,mysterious,Otherworldly,or timeless like Gregorian Chant or The Latin Mass now all I can say is that we as catholics threw out 1400 years of beautiful music for junk like "On Eagles Wings".Though To the person who said they prefer this to the pre-vatican 2 dirge music you are very close-minded and devoid of art and beauty and judging by what you said you are part of what I call the weak generation of Catholics who are only catholic on paper and have no sense of history for your very beautiful and mysterious church. Most people from that generation see the catholic church only after vatican 2 and you forget about the past councils and teachings of the Catholic church and it's history,I mean there is a reason they kept it so long it was for it's goodness(if it was bad it would not lasted 1400 years) as a priest on EWTN said to those who say "That is so pre-vatican 2" "So was Jesus." You see Latin Is very Beautiful and Mysterious language and it is a very catholic thing I mean whats more catholic then Gregorian Chant or the Latin Mass it's timeless like the church itself we as catholics need to start reclaiming are heritage from the likes of liberal priest and bishops of the 60's generation regardless of what they say there do as you please Mass is not in the spirit of Vatican II which allowed the use of vernacular in the Mass but it did not intend for Latin and Gregororian Chant to disappear it said to preserve it and give it, it's proper place that is what has been the intention of every pope since including this one they have all encouraged the use of Latin and Gregorian Chant in the mass.
How can anyone one not like it,it's very beautiful and it's been around for 1400 years how can one say that singer songwriter stuff which no one will remember in 50 years be better then this it's like seeing heaven and saying you prefer the world(alot of people unfortunatly do this.) Though to ansewer the question of it being to sad yes it is very somber and mournful but thats because the sacrifice of mass is a very solemn ceromony it was never meant to be celebrated in rock or jazz or polka or any other abuses by certain clergy. If alot of these ignorant catholics only knew what took place at the mass they would understand. You know you should be proud of the fact you are catholic because we have many gifts the protestants don't have(In the sacrements,the liturgy,the art and the music.) So I say to you now even you prefer the vernacular have respect and appreciation of what came before you in are Holy Catholic Church. Oh by the way I am 19 about to be 20 and Vatican II was a good thing it retouched are faith as Cardinal Francis Aziz said. Though I believe many people misinterpret it.
I suggest watching EWTN alot or really studying your faith and I like both Novus Ordo And Tridentine Rite.
More of a rant not a review but these songs have there moments and there are many Vernacular songs I like.

Dominus Vobiscum.
Et Cum Spirtu Tuo.

Very Good Traditional Hymns.......2004-05-30

It sounds like you are in Church, and that is what I was looking for. I especially like the Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones, Peace is flowing like a river, and Let There Be Peace on Earth.

Some of the other songs were better done by other artists. Like Shepherd Me is done better by the original Marty Haugen. This version is good, but not as good as Marty's. And I was not particularly fond of this version of Amazing Grace.

Overall I would recommend you buy a copy for your collection. The songs which are good, are very good.

Disappointing.......2004-04-01

This CD was not at all what I expected. It sounds just like you are in Church. Every song is accompanied by an organ and most of them sung in soprano. The tempo of all the songs is very slow too! I was looking for something I could sing along to, not put me to sleep! On the positive side, there are some beautiful songs, I just wish they were sung more "up beat".

Yes, these are great Catholic songs.......2004-02-07

I grew up with the music of the St. Louis Jesuits and this CD is a good representation of the BEST. In the spirit of Be Not Afraid, I am Near You, on Eagles Wings are all songs I loved in high school, college, and adult life. We sing most of these songs regularly at Mass. These are pleasant renditions of inspirational songs that uplift - in my opinion they are far better than much of the dirge music pre-vatican II.

Addicted to Ida.......2006-10-16

The first three times I heard this album, it didn't sound like much. Now I'm addicted to this band. (So, Ida, if you're reading this, thanks for playing the Knitting Factory on New Year's Eve.) What makes this CD unusual and sublime is that all the songs maintain about the same intensity and tone, and all the instruments are blended together at equal volume, so the effect is kind of like the continuous hiss of a winding metal tape or perhaps the seamless flow of the river in the title. This is not rock music, although the band is indie. It's also hilarious and impressive that Karla Schickele sometimes sounds like Karen Carpenter.

This is good writing and good listening.......2005-08-10

I feel a bit sorry for the group, considering some of the bizarre and unjustified reviews herein but let me say these guys make good music and are above average musicians. Some of the writing is ingenious, such as "What Can I Do?" which uses very sparse accompanment to great affect and a bit of odd turn in the melody that actually fits the lyrics instead of just plodding along in time. Speaking as a musician, I give them respect; all else is taste and theirs is pretty good.

By Imaginary Correspondent Joe .......2005-04-04

Up near the Strait of Juan de Fuca, about an hour ferry-ride from Anacortes, sits Orcas Island, the second-biggest in the San Juans. Orcas is shaped very much like a downward facing horseshoe, which could be termed unlucky, but if you flip a map over, then everything is okay. Along the western "leg" of the horseshoe there is a road which curves about ten feet above Massacre Bay, a blue pearl of ocean resting, tucked within walls of brown and gray stone, green pine trees, small cottages merged with forests.

Certain songs bring to memory this road, driving along it with the sun setting behind a mountain of pine trees as the water in the bay would become a deep indigo. I spent three summers on the island, and over those summers, certain songs and records came to be played over and over in the car, if for no reason but that there was no record store on the island. Sparklehorse's It's a Wonderful Life was all I had the summer of 2002, and Postal Service's Give Up typified the summer of 2003. Last summer I was on a Dylan kick, and every time I hear Johnny Cash and Bob do that duet on "Girl from the North Country," I am instantly transported back to that narrow bayside road.

It is nothing out of the ordinary for a sensory impulse, like hearing a certain record that always gets played in a certain environment, to trigger a memory of said environment. Pavlov's salivating dogs, for example, or every other experiment one has to learn about in intro to psych classes in college, explain this phenomenon. I remember it being the olfactory sense that had the strongest tie to memory, which is why the perfume/cologne industry does so well. I sat in the back of the auditorium, however, and was just taking the class to fulfill general education requirements. With a better effort, I might be able to remember more.

I apologize for all the exposition and ego-centeredness in the opening to this review - it's just that it was quite a surprise when the new record by Brooklyn-based Ida took me immediately to that road on Orcas Island. I had never ever heard the record before, nor had I ever listened to any other Ida records on that road. Why, then, should I think of this road I hadn't driven on in more than half a year?

Originally a trio formed in 1992, Ida has released numerous records over the past thirteen years of their existence, starting with the cassette, "Songs from the Ranch," released independently in their native Brooklyn.

In February of this year, however, their most recent effort, Heart Like a River, was released on Polyvinyl Records. Two of the founding members, Liz Mitchell (guitar, harmonium, vocals) and Daniel Littleton (guitar, vocals) have since added Jean Cook (violin), Ruth Keating (Drums), and Karla Schickele (bass, piano, vocals) to the line-up, and the results are a beautiful record incapable of harshness or sharp edges, but rather capable only of a sound full of harmony, delicacy and sincerity.

Heart Like a River kicks off with the song "Laurel Blues." A harmonium begins, providing the soft canvas for acoustic guitar and three-part harmonies. While it doesn't necessarily conjure direct comparisons to the music of Sparklehorse, Postal Service or Dylan and Cash, it has a similar emotion, a similar feeling to it - that same, semi-melancholic contentedness found in listening to "Girl from the North Country" is present. "Laurel Blues" is an invitation, an outstretched hand one wants to not only hold, but to understand.

Many records are easy to fall in love with, but it is a rare occasion when a record will send intimations that the music may be in love with you. The third track on the album, which follows the simultaneously breaking and comforting "599," is "Late Blues." Listening to "Late Blues," I did not feel as though I were falling in love, rather I felt as though I were loved.

Daniel Littleton and Liz Mitchell begin the song to the accompaniment of a plucked electric guitar and brushed snare drum. Their voices harmonize on the opening verse: "If I get lost along the way to meet you/ If I'm more than a little late/ If I get caught up in circles, chasing my own tale/ If I trip up and fail you/ If I let you down, if I let you down."

The only song to which "Late Blues" draws comparison is Jeff Buckley's "Everybody Here Wants You." Sexy and comforting, sentimental without being melodramatic, it is easily one of the most beautiful songs of the year.

But let me not mislead you into thinking that the record is made up entirely of "songs" and does not exist well as a complete record. The tracks lead into one another in a logical progression achieved rarely, if at all, without a maturity a band like Ida achieves only after having played and lived together for so long. Put simply, Ida knows how to write, record and produce a record the way they want it done. Heart Like a River comes across as confident in its craft, and honed in its ability to affect the listener.

Emotion is a funny thing. More often than not, a person has emotions towards something. ("I hate Morissey's new record," "I love the Smiths," "I hate that I don't own Nirvana's box set," "I love that I own every New Order album on vinyl," etc.) Rarely are there moments where one feels affected by something or someone before they feel for something or someone. Listening to Heart Like a River, I feel appreciated, comforted. For that, I appreciate this record. While by no stretch of the imagination is "Heart Like a River" on the same level of ingenuity as The Beatles' Sgt. Peppers or The Clash's Sandinista!, but it is, put quite simply, a very good record. It reminds me of the ocean, of the island, of the certain color of blue only a sunset over trees can induce in the ocean.

Infinitely superior to Linda Ronstadt's HEART LIKE A WHEEL.......2005-04-04

Dan said: "Then you asked me a question that I won't forget even if I spend my life trying to live up to what it means. If I let you down..." You can probably guess what the question is.

Dan also said: "I know that I'm not a poet. Cause I get too bored with the words." And that's when he really & truly speaks for me.

I would be remiss were I not to complain about a dud track called THE DETAILS. Liz's voice can't redeem it. She's better than this. (I just caught Gary Giddins using that phrase in regard to Diana Krall & Jeanie Bryson, so I might as well co-indulge.) The only good detail about THE DETAILS is the brief wordless bridge, which sounds vaguely Pink-Floydian or Radioheadish. I also like the instrumental break in WHAT CAN I DO. Karla's descending piano phrase is her finest instrumental moment. But let me warn you about Karla in regard to the very last word that she sings in WHAT CAN I DO. She takes the word "do" and she gives it a very definite country-twang enunciation. It's Karla's way of ingratiating herself with Kenny Rogers and I don't particularly dig it one bit.

FORGIVE is a bleary-dreary raga-drone that reminds me of nothing so much as George Harrison's BLUE JAY WAY. (And I mean that as a compliment.) My favorite track is (yes, you guessed it, Karla) HONEYSLIDE. You've heard of "inside jokes"? HONEYSLIDE is an inside insult. It's Karla's way of rubbing my nose in the fact that Kenny Rogers is her boyfriend and I'm not. Very funny, Karla. Have a wood-fired honey-sliding honeymoon, Karla. Just don't come crying to me when Kenny dumps you for Linda Ronstadt.

This is a good one.......2005-03-30

I am a prolific fan of Ida and have been since Will You Find Me, and I have to say that this album is the best to come out since that album. Every Ida album has its own sound to it, and this one is no different; it's genuinely Ida but with a twist. It's a bit louder than most of their albums all around, but doesn't really have any rock tracks like "Turn Me On" from Will You Find Me or "Blizzard of '78" from the Braille Night. "Laurel Blues," "Honeyslide," and "Mine" are the highlights on this one. It's not as good as Will You Find Me, but it blows away The Braille Night.

Once again, I tip my hat to Karla Scheckle.

Now if we can open our minds, forget the fact that Ida has released albums in the past, and just listen to this one, we can understand why it deserves all five of the stars I gave it. It is wonderfully composed, transitioned, and is a great album to wind down a night with.

A little something different.......2007-01-10

I enjoyed this music and am using some of it to choreograph a little different "Disney" for my students.I think it will come in handy in the future as well.

When looking for "the most".......2001-05-14

A local New York professional opera enthusiast has concluded that Corelli is the most popular operatic tenor, followed by Jussi Bjoerling. But if the question is, who had the most beautiful tenor voice ever impressed upon wax, we must lift up John McCormack. Here is true bel canto which no one else has ever equalled. These two CD's contain some of the most exquisite sounds ever issued by a human throat. Let the galleries declare their enthusiasm for stentorian high C's, the real lover of great singing will find much more to their like her than in all the verisssimo arias. Listen to the two "Mefistofele" Arias (Boito) and ask yourself if they have ever since been so beautifully sung. This recording belongs in the collection of every aspiring tenor, just to remind what can be accomplished by art and perfect singing.

A superb McCormack collection.......2000-10-21

If you remember hearing transfers of acoustic recordings to LP, you remember how hard it was to really connect with the music and performer through all the rumble, noise and resonance. This audio restoration is the most astonishing technical feat I have ever heard. The noise is now only a gentle background presence, not the roar of yesteryear. And even more important, it is constant in volume- in other words not a distraction. The fidelity really lets us hear what the early recording engineers really achieved. That said, what this brings to us are the performances of one of the world's greatest singers in richly emotional popular songs (and a few opera arias). There are so many of those old sentimental pieces no one could get away with recording anymore, but hold such a splendid reward for those of us who love them. John McCormack's recordings receive with this reissue the wonderful presentation they so richly deserve. Many many thanks to the label and Mr. Marston who made it possible.

Simply the Best.......2000-01-27

This along with Vol. 1 is simply the best McCormack transfers available from this period. The master of the trade, Ward Marston has outdone himself this time. Waiting for Vols. 3,4,5!
