Another great trip down the MFU memory lane.......2005-10-19
My only problem is that THE CDs ARE COPY PROTECTED! Considerable work is needed to get the music onto your iPod, if you really want the music in your mp3 collection. This is a major hassle and a surprise, since the first set in the series was not copy protected.
The best of the three Double CDs ORIGINAL soundtrack release.......2005-07-12
Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.
And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.
Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.
This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.
Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.
So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

Angela Gheorghiu Live means what it says: it seems as if half the disc is given over to applause, so you get to hear her performance as it comes, including stretches of questionable intonation that studio retakes would have removed. What's more, the music--mostly short, sharp items of standard repertory--has been chosen to demonstrate a broader stylistic range than Gheorghiu can effectively deliver. Her uncertain, watery, unidiomatic readings of "Lascia ch'io pianga" and "Porgi amor" probably wouldn't win her a part in any Handel or Mozart opera. But by the time she gets to Massenet ("Adieu notre petit table") and Charpentier ("Depuis le jour"), she's on more familiar ground. And there she shines, spectacularly, with the pliant, pleading, gossamer-light eloquence that made her such a memorable Violetta at Covent Garden in the mid-1990s. Beware: there isn't any Verdi on this disc, but there are plenty of other favorites, including "Casta Diva" and "O mio babbino caro." It ends with a disarmingly fierce encore of "I could have danced all night" designed to hammer home the tough, resourceful strength beneath the surface of that fragile, soft-as-cashmere vocal exterior. --Michael WhiteCustomer Reviews:

This is Angela Gheorghiu's Worst CD So Far.......2002-06-19
And considering how bad some of the previous ones were, that takes some real doing.
For die-hards fans ONLY.
A flawed but worthwhile document of Gheorghiu in concert.......2002-05-28
Let us get the negatives out of the way first. At 51 minutes, the program is far too short. Obviously, the concert itself was longer but the BBC apparently wanted to broadcast only an hour. Still, even if an actual television broadcast has to be truncated, a CD can hold at least another 20 minutes of music. None of Gheorghiu's material was cut, but I'm sure she would have done more singing if there wasn't the BBC's restriction. Also the editing makes the applause seem intrusive and artificial instead of having the true ebb and flow of a live performance. The absence of Verdi is a surprise as well as a disappointment. And yes, there are several moments of suspect intonation, muddy tone, and other lapses that probably wouldn't have happened in the studio. This is quite noticeable in 'Lascia ch'io pianga', which isn't really a good fit for Gheorghiu despite her intensity and melancholy. I am willing to give her another chance with this repertory, though; no less a Handelian than Mark Minkowski wanted her to record Cleopatra.
Gheorghiu is on surer ground with Mozart. In 'Porgi amor' Countess Almaviva's suffering and humanity are palpable, and her handling of the phrase 'O rendentimi tesoro' is particularly striking. A pity she doesn't want to do the role on stage; at the very least I hope she records 'Dove sono'.
It is of course the great ladies of 19th and 20th century French and Italian opera where Gheorghiu truly comes into her own. She has few equals and no superiors in these roles. Buoyed by the energy of a live performance, 'Adieu, notre petite table' is absolutely heartwrenching and perhaps even better than on her complete recording of 'Manon'. She is equally splendid in portraying Louise's ecstasy, and this is a role I want to hear her sing in its entirety. Of course, the CD is worth buying for the Puccini selections alone. What makes Gheorghiu a truly great singer of Puccini is that in her hands his heroines are hardly 'little women'. In 'Tu che di gel sei cinta', we hear all of Liu's love, courage, defiance and sorrow. 'Un bel di' is glorious - Butterfly could have been written especially for her! Here is a wealth of word-painting, gorgeous phrasing, ecstatic climaxes, longing, giddiness, mischief and heroic resolve. What a pity that she keeps putting off recording the role in its entirety. Her Adriana Lecouvreur is very promising, and it is a treat to hear the aria sung by a beautiful young voice instead of a diva past her prime. I believe she will sing the entire role at Covent Garden in Fall 2003.
As the CD 'Casta Diva' was released several days before this concert, it was inevitable that Gheorghiu would sing the title track. Despite minor glitches, this reading is also very impressive. As in the studio recording, it is a genuine prayer, contrasting the priestess' desire for peace and the woman's desire for her lover. This opera is also a strong possibility for her at Covent Garden, probably around 2006.
We then have three encores. Unfortunately, I have an aversion to 'O mio babbino caro' that not even Gheorghiu can overcome, but I suspect few people reading this share my opinion of this aria. In keeping with her desire to bring Romanian material to Western audiences, which I heartily approve of, she then sings a delightful folk aria from Tiberiu Brudiceanu's 'La Seceris' (The Harvest), a classic in Romania. This is also worth buying the CD for. Unlike just about everybody else, I adored her 'I Could have Danced All Night'. I think that considering how beloved Gheorghiu is in Britain it's about time she sang something 'British' (albeit by an American composer), even if she could use the services of Henry Higgins! I note with amusement that her pronounciation of the word 'dance' vacillates between the British and the American...
Ion Marin conducts the Covent Garden orchestra solidly and gives Gheorghiu decent support, but she has worked with many better conductors. Since all the purely orchestral material was cut, including a take on themes from 'Un Ballo in Maschera' by Johann Strauss that I would have liked to have heard, we may have missed Marin's chance to shine. Admittedly, his whole heart is in the Romanian piece.
British critic George Hall contributes a respectful and admiring essay on Gheorghiu's career and this concert. We get full texts and translations of all selections and several photos of Gheorghiu at the concert. I actually would have preferred that one of these grace the cover instead of her admittedly striking black-and white pose as a 1940s movie star (Rita Hayworth?).
If you have access to a DVD player (I do not as yet), you might want to rent or buy the DVD of this concert before you buy the CD. I have not seen it, but in addition to having a visual document of Gheorghiu's expressive face and stage presence, the DVD has bonus material of an interview and a photo gallery (and, unfortunately, a dreadful 'music video' of 'Casta Diva'). In the meantime, despite its flaws, this CD is a fine document of what must have been a memorable evening.

West Coast Blues Canadian Style.......2007-01-04
Greg covers jump blues (Shake 'Em Up), rockabilly (Matchbox), Chicago blues (Looking For Trouble), and surf (Goldtop) and more on this album. The ablum is about an hour in length and there is plenty of West Coast influenced guitar playing that melts the listener like butter. Beginner blues guitarist would be wise to pick up this CD to listen to how modern West Coast style blues should be played. Guitarist of all levels can pick up a thing or two from Greg's playing.
His band consists of some top notch Canadian side men (one or two of them have played in Colin James' Little Big Band projects). A couple of tracks even have a pedal steel player that countrifies a couple of the songs but does not overpower the feel of them...they still come out sounding like blues.
In all honesty, I did not find much groud-breaking new sounding material on the CD. This CD is not blues in a totally new direction. This is blues that has been done before BUT the unique thing to my ears is that it is American West Coast blues played Canadian style. A subtle difference (if any) but good enough to keep the interest of blues guitar fanatics for the CD's duraton.
Pick up Greg Demchuk and the Du-Rites Aces. You will not be disappointed.
