Customer Reviews:
AMAZING! She is so much better live!.......2006-12-02
This CD rocks! This is Sarah Brightman on her Harem World Tour, and this performance was recorded at her stop in Las Vegas. The first two tracks, "Kama Surta" and "Harem Overture" debut from her newest album, entitled HAREM. The two tracks are connected, but in the actual Harem Tour, the full piece "Harem" is sung. If you go to www.youtube.com and type in "Harem Tour" in the Search Bar, you can see live videos. I would prefer that the album has placed "Harem" instead of these other two tracks. The third track, "It's A Beautiful Day", is from Madame Butterfly, written by Puccini. This version is Brightman's twist, which some more pop and some English. It's pretty cool. The fourth track on the album, "Dust in the Wind" is from EDEN, an amazing album. Track 5 is, "Who Wants to Live Forever", and it seems as though Brightman never creates a tour without putting this piece in it. It's a beautiful tribute to Queen's rendition. Track Six is "Anytime, Anywhere", also from EDEN. I'm not really into the Foreign Language - English songs, but this works very well, especially because she ends the song with the classical foreign language. The seventh track is Brightman's rendition of Dvorak's "Song to the Moon", or "La Luna". The track is beautiful! The eighth track is Puccini's "Nessun Dorma", and Sarah masters this beautifully! There is no other soprano I know that can sing this piece one octave up and can hold the ending note for ever!!! Track 9 is "The War is Over", which is followed by "Free", both from HAREM. Track 11 is "A Whiter Shade of Pale", from LA LUNA. It's beautiful to listen to. Sarah's version is very gentle, but has a lot of energy in the chorus. The twelfth track on this album is "Twisted Every Way", followed by an instrumental version of "The Phantom of the Opera" Theme. The next track is "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again", which is extended at the end, in which you hear some men cry out "WE LOVE YOU SARAH!", and she responds cutely with an, "I love you, too." The audience laughs! Track 14 is "Time to Say Goodbye", the duet that made Andrea Bocelli famous, and skyrocketed as the number one single sold in German history! The last live track on the album is "A Question of Honour", from "Fly", which is awesome! The last track on the album is a bonus track, which I don't really prefer. However, the whole album is simply amazing. I much prefer Sarah when she is live. She has a more magical quality! If you love Sarah Brightman, then you will love this album.
ALSO RECOMMENDED : Since there is so much Sarah Brightman to choose from, I also recommend EDEN, TIME TO SAY GOODBYE, LA LUNA, CLASSICS, and DIVA.

Inspiring, Beautiful and The Sweetest Voice!.......2005-08-21
What an album, absolutly beautiful!
We, the fans of this great artist finelly have in our hands a live album, and it's amazing:
-The voice is totaly live, she sang about 24 complete songs in the show, but the album only contains 15.
-Snow In The Sahara is a lovely song.
If you have the chase of get this alubum, don't doubt and get it; It wond disapoint you!
astounding performance.......2005-06-07
an impeccable concert experience that successfully elevates the album to majestic heights. I had long been a fan of Dead Can Dance and the unparalleled work of Lisa Gerrard. When Sarah Brightman ventured into these Middle Eastern sounds on the Harem disc, I thought it was too derivative of the Dead Can Dance sounds (there is even a sample used on one of SB's songs that had previously been used within DCD).
However, experiencing this epic and intensely mystical concert compelled me to realize the individual and unique glory of Sarah Brightman. Also, this concert is so phenomenally entertaining at many levels that I couldn't help but fall absolutely in love with the special magic of Sarah Brightman. Obviously, the expansive Middle Eastern milieu can accommodate more than one angelic vocalist!
I now consider Lisa Gerrard and Sarah Brightman to be geniuses who both warrant goddess status in the pantheon of lyrical greats. To see either one of them perform live is surely one of the most powerful and memorable sensory experiences one could ever have!
Great, of course.......2005-03-18
Sarah's voice and style are terrific, as usual. However, I have to say that her version of Anggun's "Snow on the Sahara" is fairly bland, especially compared to the original Anggun version. Sarah has the chops but lacks soul on this great song. Everything els here is very nice.

The River/The Plow that Broke the Plains.......2007-05-17
This performance is excellent it is a worthy addition to your collection. It is an exciting performance by the Philharmonic Virtuosi under the direction of Richard Kapp. Both the Plow that Broke the Plains and the River (complete scores here) are a part of American History. The music woven through out these scores should be very familiar as they represent part of Americana.
Buy it!
Background:
Many years ago, I have purchases these two compositions in Vinal. As I recall the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority*) was commissioned by the federal government (FDR's New deal in the 1930's) to solve the growing electrical shortage in the southern states while attempting to redress the damage done to the Mississippi by man or visa versa. After years of study and hearings they decided to damn the Tennessee River and build a hydro electric plant. The problem was that this would resultant in flooding many would displace many people, and whole towns had to be moved to new locations. Virgil Thomson was commissioned to prepare a score for a documentary that would be prepared to present the project to the communities. It was elegant in its execution and masterfully integrated with the film.
* Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a federally owned corporation in the United States created in May 1933 to provide navigation, flood control, electricity generation, fertilizer manufacturing, and economic development in the Tennessee Valley, a region particularly hard hit by the Great Depression. The TVA was envisioned not only as an electricity provider, but also as a regional economic development agency that would use federal experts and electricity to rapidly modernize the region's economy and society. The TVA's jurisdiction covers most of Tennessee, parts of Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky, and small slices of Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia.
I you want to move beyond Copeland. Virgil Thompson has 2 classics.......2007-04-06
Having accidentally taped a Neville Marriner selection of the River, I wanted the entire composition. This is an excellent rendition of very attractive American works. If you like Appalachian Spring and Rodeo, you will love these works and the recording does them justice.

American Song Potpourri.......2000-08-01
The 28 songs on this CD provide a broad spectrum of American art songs. JanDeGaetani possesses a beautiful mezzo-soprano voice and ideally expresses the proper emotions these songs require. Gilbert Kalish's piano supplies the necessary support without getting in the way of the singer. All in all, this is a good collaboration.
Kalish plays like a pig........1999-12-02
While I enjoyed De Gaetani's singing, Kalish's piano playing reminded me of a player piano.
a beautiful rendition of 20th Century American Song.......1999-06-06
This is a great album. It spans the spectrum of 20th Century American music from the tonality and romanticism of Stephen Foster to the experimentality of John Cage.
Jan DeGaetani and Gilbert Kalish, with their understanding and sensitivity to the music of their time, combine to form a duo that sets the standard for interpretation of this music.
Students, professionals, and general classical music lovers will cherish this CD in their library.
If you want an introduction to American Music of this Century, this album provides the most accessible doorway to the widest array of styles I have heard.

Thanks Kansas!!!.......2006-10-24
I really needed you to put these 2 cds in one package so I could add it to my essential collection of infinite compilation cds that you have put out. Maybe next time you can release Somewhere to Elsewhere and Glossalalia together as a package. Great move from a band that cares about their fans!!!
Yet Another Version of Two KANSAS Albums (repackaged).......2005-08-15
This double CD is simply a repackaged version of Always Never the Same "Live", released in 1998, and Freaks of Nature from 1995, in one package. I bought it thinking it was all Live material. The packaging says "Live Recordings", Kansas with the London Symphony Orchestra. The only difference between this version and the original is they deleted the "Preamble" and "Prelude & Introduction" (which some complained about in the reveiws). Disc one is now only 11 tracks, clocking in at (62:36). The sound quality is excellant. Right up there with any modern remastered disc.
I did not realize that disc two was simply the nine tracks from Freaks of Nature, since I did not own that CD. I am only familier with the "Classic" Kansas by the original members, such as Leftoverture and Point of Know Return. I have been slowly working my way back through their catalog of early work, as it comes out on Legacy Records (Remastered Only).
Overall, this was a good buy. I got a great sounding "Live" disc, plus a bonus cd that I did not own (and probably would NOT have bought).

dont be scared.......2006-03-16
dont be scared by the other reviews.good album for the price.good performace.if you want perfect vocals buy a studio album.other than that i didnt hear any thing totaly awful.sounded pretty tight to me.only dissapointment is i did not know this was a chopped up version of another album.you get what you pay for.
Awful.......2006-01-12
OK. I'll give it a generous 2 stars because musically, it's pretty good. But the vocals?!?! Oh my goodness---the vocals. Worst I have EVER heard. I could sing better. To Steve Walsh I would like to say brother, when it gets this bad, do us all a favor and go get a job in the private sector. At least they include "Dust In The Wind", and bring Kerry Livgren on stage to sing it. Kerry sounds pretty good on it---except for the high notes. Walsh introduces him as "an old friend". That's a laugh. Livgren was and always will be Kansas. The band basically threw him out, due to "artistic differences". Pretty sad when a guy's Christian influences in the music lead the band to pretty much boot him.
If you are going to get some Kansas CDs, get "Leftoverture" or "Point of Know Return". However, if you want to spend $6.98 for a nice coaster, then I'd go with this one.
Oh yeah---did I mention how bad the vocals are on this?
Rerelease of the Live at the Whiskey album!.......2004-05-11
The Emi Special Products release Kansas Live-Dust in the Wind is a trimmed down version of the Live at the Whisky album. Kansas captured live in the early ninties a couple decades past their peak in popularity. For the most part the band is pretty good, with the exception of Steve Walsh's horrible vocals, they should have fired him, he sounds awful, but the rest of the band sounds great, and it is a very enjoyable album. If you want a live recording without overdubbs this would be it.
Burn the tapes!.......2001-04-19
The short of it: Just hated, I mean HATED this album. The Band had no reason to be togather at this point. Any other Kansas album is a far cry better than this one! Move on.
Cut Down Version Of Live At The Whisky.......2001-03-08
This album is a cut down re-release of the very poor Live At The Whisky album containing 10 of its 12 tracks. What follows is my review of Live At The Whisky which also applies to this disc by default:
I recently reviewed Kansas 1978 live album Two For The show calling it probably the best live album of all time. And with that pleasant rosy feeling and memory I came to buy Live At The Whisky. If Two For the Show is a candidate for the best of all time then one can only call Live At The Whisky a candidate for the worst. This is a truly awful live performance from a band once noted for great live performances.
My main over-riding criticism, and one that is pertinent to every track on the album is pointed directly at Steve Walsh's voice. Its gone, and not just slightly. He strains, squacks, croaks, grinds and makes himself painfully hoarse trying to reach notes in classic songs he can longer reach and indeed embarrassingly fails to reach upon trying on many occasions. And its painful to listen to how a once great singer has fallen, a long, long way. Walsh once had one of the greatest voices in rock - with Two For The Show proving he could sustain his incredible power and range during concerts and not just the studio. It's very sad but true.
My other main criticism is with the band's performance itself and production. It's a 'going through the motions' performance from a band standing very much in the shadows of the once great spotlight they stood in. And its not helped by the fact that key band members Kerry Livgren and Robbie Steinhardt are missing, although Livgren does make a guest appearance at the very end for Carry On Wayward Son. In fact only a deteriorated Walsh, Williams and Ehart survive from the original line up.
This album came as a great disappointment even though I should have suspected Walsh's vocal ability was finished from his performance on In The Spirit Of Things (see my review on this site).
Definitely one for hardcore completists.
Recommendation to avoid.

Awesome compilation...please make more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-09-09
WOW....I just love this great compilation. But, it does remind me of a CD I bought back in 1995. Anyway, since I'm an idiot completist, I have to have everything this band does because they care so much about their fans. And what a better way to spend my hard earned money on this superlative compilation. I was just thinking that I needed another CD with Dust in the Wind. Please Kansas...I beg you....Make more of these awesome compilations!!!!! I just love them..What integrity!!!! Make sure to put Dust in the Wind on your next compilation. It will be a Cold Grey Morning in hell when they release an album of new material...sad...sad..sad
1.5 stars- Looks like a worthless kind of compilation.......2006-04-23
Kansas continues there compilation craziness with DUST IN THE WIND. This is the first time I've seen the song list of this, but I've seen this a few times when I'm scrolling through groups like Kansas. This one looks super weird compilation-wise. I see a few classics put in like "Dust In The Wind", and "Hold On" and one other classic, but mostly it's just about all the album of FREAKS OF NATURE. Why on earth would you put the entire album of FREAKS OF NATURE (which is a pretty awful and low selling release) and pepper in a few classics? Who ever made the decision to put out something of this nature should have a lobotomy or something because this is crazy as all get out. Let me tell you, this ain't going to sell much.
P.S. I think I figured out that the songs that aren't from FREAKS OF NATURE are the rerecorded classics like "Hold On" and "Dust In The Wind" and some new worthless songs from the ALWAYS NEVER THE SAME album that was recorded with the help of the London Symphony Orchestra. I had that release but soon chucked it because the classics were poor imitations of the originals and pretty much worthless and Steve Walsh's new songs sucked pretty bad too. I'm out for good!!!
