Customer Reviews:

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

How'd he get missed?.......2006-01-20

I'd read a little history about Mr. Nichols a few years ago; and it is a sad one, to say the least, but had never heard any of his music. I recently purchased this cd, and all I can say is, I don't get HOW he was overlooked! Soon as I began listening, I got him. At times, I hear similarities to Ahmad Jamal; other times It's kind of a toss between Monk and Bill Evans. Nichols definitely had it, though; his own sound. You just have to listen to it. I'll definitely be getting the box set soon as I can.

Have you ever wished to be present as a great instrumentalist teaches gifted pupils? Sony's set of Alfred Cortot's Master Classes can satisfy that fantasy, as well as provide insightful performances of works (and excerpts of works) including some Cortot never recorded, and hearing him expound on them from a performer's point of view. It's possible thanks to an engineering student who taped many of Cortot's classes in the late 1950s and Murray Perahia, who tracked down the tapes and produced this invaluable set. Don't understand French? Not to worry--French texts and English translations of Cortot's remarks are provided. We also hear Cortot playing with spontaneity and captivating spur-of-the-moment impetuousness, if also with rather more wrong notes than the fastidious would like. The inevitable frustration of wanting him to play an entire lengthy work soon gives way to appreciation for his insights and the beauties of the excerpts he's highlighting. Those insights include technical points like pedaling, rhythm, and touch. But more often he's teaching a work's expressive content. He'll relate a Beethoven Sonata to a love story or the way Chopin's Ballades reflect the Adam Mieckicwicz poems said to inspire them. There's Bach, Mozart, and Schumann here too. Cortot's main point, the lesson that pervades these discs, is one all aspiring artists need to absorb: "Technique can never really be separated from musical expression." This set is must for pianophiles, students, and admirers of one of the last century's greatest artists. --Dan Davis

Customer Reviews:

Five Stars with a Caveat.......2006-12-02

This is a collection of musical fragments with spoken commentary. The pieces stop and start unexpectedly, and if you just want to sit down and enjoy some music, you'll find this set unnerving.

But what fragments! The format actually highlights how vividly Cortot could make a musical point: Some of these ideas leap off the CD, and will send you heading to the piano to figure out how he did what he did. For instance, his interpretation of Mozart's C-minor Fantasia, though stylistically anachronistic, makes almost all other performances of this piece seem emotionally stultified. This is the Mozart of "Don Giovanni" translated to the piano.

Most of the repertoire wasn't recorded elsewhere by Cortot -- an additional appeal for pianophiles.

A must for any music connoisseur.......2006-01-31

This is one of the great treasures of the piano discography. I was swept off my feet when I heard the Partita No.1, Cortot's only ever Bach recording -- he plays it with elegance, elan, and warmth that easily surpasses Glenn Gould's account of the same piece. Cortot gives tremendous insight into all the works, even going as far as comparing Mozart's Fantasia in C minor to the epic Don Juan. The session was taped at the Ecole Normale de Musique in 1954, and although some of the playing is extremely messy Cortot's distinctive sound and poetry still stands out. This set will be a pleasure to both the professional and student alike.

Album Description

These trio recordings, made in 1954 and 1955, are the only ones pianist John Williams made as a leader in his entire career. Influenced by Horace Silver, Bud Powell and Hank Jones, Williams is most remembered for his very fine recordings with the Stan Getz Quintet. However, and despite his talent, today he remains a pianist relatively unknown for many people; but those who had the chance to have him as accompanist and all those who enjoyed his stabbing and leanly imaginative playing as a soloist, surely have not forgotten him. Multiwaves. 2006

Customer Reviews:

Unsung hero of '50s jazz piano.......2006-11-10

Why did John Williams get out of the jazz piano business? We may never know, but fans of '50s jazz shoudn't miss this album, which adds to the only album Williams released (50 years ago!) a number of other takes. Williams is so fluent and fluid at pianistic expression, so ingenious and inventive in his improvisation and basic harmonic structure that almost every cut is thrilling. His variations on old standards are truly gratifying ("Some Day My prince Will Come," "Baubles, Bangles and Beads.' "Sleeping Bee"), but he's equally adept at more obscure tunes and original compositions. I had the original album when I was a kid, and it was not just a thrill but a revelation to come upon it again.

The title says it all!.......2004-12-25

This is the very masterpiece of Jimmy Smith, the second half is on 'The Master II'. He plays with utmost perfect timing and swing. This live recording from December 24-25 in 1993 with the trio including Kenny Burrell on guitar and Jimmie Smith on drums contains many of his famous tunes in versions that are the best ever. I rate this as one of my organ jazz references together with (of course) 'The Master II', Richard Groove Holmes 'At Basies Band Stand' and the swedish master Pierre Sward 'Organ Jazzn Soul'. If You are into Hammond Organ Jazz, this is it!

On organist Tony Monaco's second album, he's accompanied by his regular group--Derek DiCenzo on guitar and Louis Tsamous on drums. Like its predecessor, Burnin' Grooves, this set places Monaco squarely in the company of such forebears as Jimmy Smith, Lonnie Smith, and Jimmy McGriff. That Monaco has also overcome daunting health obstacles (he survived neuralgic amyotrophy) is a testament both to his personal drive and the magical lure of music. Half the album is Monaco originals, with the rest being a fairly robust parcel of covers--numbers by Sonny Rollins, Woody Herman, Pat Metheny, and others. Monaco steps up to the vocal mic to sing two songs, "Luck Be a Lady" and "Me and Mrs. Jones." A trio of horn players guest, but the classic organ trio is at the heart of the proceedings, and a tight little engine they are. --David Greenberger

Customer Reviews:

White guy playin' the blues. Really disappointing........2006-05-27

I was pretty disappointed with this album. Yes, Tony has some blazing chops, but all he's doing is playing recycled blues licks really fast over and over again. There's no originality to this record and the whole thing just sounds stale.

As Tony Monaco goes, "intimately live at the 501" is a far more musical album.

Track 2 is Groove Holmes.......2004-12-04

Track two in the sample list, white dude, is Groove Holmes, from "On Basie's Bandstand." I guess someone messed up while developing this web page. Regardless, that Groove album is excellent, too, and highly recommended.

Of course, Tony is excellent. Local Hammond technician heard him at Cafe 123 here in Nashville, after the 2004 NAMM show... said that Tony brought the organ down to a whisper, and moved him to tears.

There's No Pork With These Chops.......2002-07-26

Tony has done it again. There are so many good cuts on this CD. My favs are ... well, I like em all! Monaco's rendition of Pat Metheny's "So May It Secretly Begin" is masterful.

It hard to believe that "White Dude Special" was written when he was only 16. The original on Monaco's website has the same flavor but one can certainly see how advanced Tony's chops have developed.

Like the previous reviewer, living close to Philly, I am definitely a B3 fan and Monaco is at the top my list.

There's even something from the 70s for middle agers - "Pick Up The Pieces" has a phat bass groove.

Buy the CD. You won't be disappointed. I own all of Monaco's CD and can't wait for his next release in September 2002.

This is Real Jazz Organ at its Best.......2002-07-12

I recently got both of The Tony Monaco Trio CDs. Burnin Grooves and Master Chops T. I grew up listening to Jazz Organ as I live close to Philly. Wow, Tony is the new Organ Man! I especially loved Master Chops T because of the variety. He even played the accordion on a blues track. If you havn't ever purchased a Jazz Organ CD, this one you must. Tony's music has a way of bringing you in smoothly and then hooking you with some pretty awesome stuff."So May it Secretly Begin" blew me away. Its' big sounding with just the trio. Acid Wash has some really cool effects and "Ya Bay Bee" takes you back to the 60's. All I can say is you should get turned on to this trio. Both Burnin' Grooves and Master Chops T are first rate and smokin!

The tribute to the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang's birth continues, and this two-disc set is perfect for those who want to like classical music and insist they can't. The 34 tracks sound familiar because they have been used in popular films, either as incidental music or as an important component of the score. And we're not just talking Amadeus, but films that you may be surprised used such memorable music ... Mission Impossible, There's Something About Mary, Runaway Bride, Trading Places, Miss Congeniality, The Living Daylights. The works are performed by the finest, including James Galway, Alban Berg Quartett, Riccardo Muti, Dame Felicity Lott, Sir Neville Marriner, Herbert Von Karajan and Martha Vineyard's Andre Previn. Pretty classy indeed.

Album Description

Killer Whales is the first commercial release by guitarist Jon Bare and his band, the Killer Whales. It was recorded virtually live in the studio, combining the raw experimental spirit of the 60's with a 90's state-of-the-art cutting edge. Killer Whales features the awesome bass playing of Tim Bogert (Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, Vanilla Fudge) and the impressive drumming of Chet McCracken (Doobie Brothers). This album captures all of the spontaneity and excitement of the power-trio's live performance. Jon Bare, one of the hottest new guitarists on the L.A. music scene, is the producer and central creative force behind the album.

Customer Reviews:

Smokin, Smokin, Smokin.......2004-05-26

You're probably familiar with Tim Bogert (Jeff Beck & Vanilla Fudge) and Chet McCracken (Doobie Brothers) but Jon Bare is the driving force behind this "Killer" CD. He's an excellent guitarist (on par with anyone you can think of) and the songwriting is terrific... We've all heard uninteresting songs written by great guitar players - but you won't find that on this CD. The songs showcase the virtuosity of each player without being indulgent. Besides Bare and Bogert, McCracken really impresses - you didn't hear a hint of this playing in his Doobie Brothers days. But don't take my word for it, listen to "Be Young," "I Got The Blues," and "Spacey" and you'll be blown away.
