5 out of 5 stars THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FILM PIANO MUSIC.......2007-04-11

MOST OF THE FILMS FOR WHICH THESE PIANO PIECES WERE WRITTEN ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE, SO WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE THIS WONDERFUL RECORDING. FORGET ABOUT MORE EXPENSIVE VERSIONS. THIS IS THE BEST INTERPRETATION OF THE WARSAW CONCERTO ON THE MARKET!

3 out of 5 stars Warsaw Concerto.......2005-10-09

The version of the toon was not what I expected. I wanted more the "popular" version.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Movie Pieces.......2003-10-04

I am a pinaist, and several of thses pieces find themselve in my repertoire, and by hearing them on this cd, one is able to truly appreciate the composition and performance of these songs, which are not very popular nowadays. A great collection that I highly recommend to all musicians and music lovers.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.......2003-02-07

If you like light works for piano and orchestra, this is the BEST I have heard. With the popularity of movie themes in this genre, this CD will not disappoint you. There are some great undiscovered gems on this CD. Every pianist should have this to 'expand their horizons'. Simply the best!

5 out of 5 stars East meets... what?.........2004-08-12

A wonderful combination of traditional Turkish music played by traditional musicians (to say nothing about Russian leader...) and the same oriental music - as great Western composers imagined it. We shall admit, those guys had really good imagination. And Deutche Grammophone will never spoil the party - the sound quality is terrific.

5 out of 5 stars Nobody's business but the Turks.......2004-02-14

Light-hearted and profound, this represents the best of the "what if?" concept compilations, taking "Eastern"-influenced 18th century European music and putting the Turkish instruments and musicians right back into the mix. As often happens in such cases, the synthesis is greater than the sum of its parts, and the result is a "Big Band Baroque" sound that will have you up on your feet and doing dervishlike spins around the living room in no time.

Also, this album offers another view of the "musical alchemy" powers of Concerto Koln. If these fine folks can thrust Dall'abaco back into the spotlight after centuries of obscurity, there is no telling what other feats they may be able to pull off in the years ahead.

5 out of 5 stars East Meets Wow!.......2003-07-30

This CD may well be the thinking man's and woman's crossover disc of the year, especially since the crossing-over is not from kitsch to classical and then back again, as in most of these joint-venture kinds of albums. Here, instead, we have a natural (well, in 18th-century terms, at least) pairing of forces-the classical orchestra and the Turkish battery of percussion. They really did get together, of course, in Mozart's and Haydn's day, as evidenced by The "Abduction from a Seraglio" and the "Military Symphony." And the fascinating historical backgrounds supplied in the notes to this recording (written by Werner Ehrhardt of Concerto Koln and Vladimir Ivanoff of Sarband) tell us that those batteries would often have been manned by Turkish musicians who had originally been assigned to ensembles sent as gifts by sultans to the courts of Europe. Though the ensembles were disbanded, the musicians stayed on, finding employment with European orchestras.

Thus half the disc features sets in which the Sarband percussion players join Concerto Koln for the music of Mozart, Gluck, Kraus, and Sussmayr. Lovers of so-called "Turkish" or "Janissary" music (of which I count myself one) may never hear these works with the same ears again. Not only do the Turkish instruments impart a special saltiness to the proceedings, but the freer, to-heck-with-the-bar-lines thinking of the Sarband players (read the notes for more about this) brings an extra military swagger to the proceedings that is unstoppable. The overture to the "Abduction" has never been this much of a thrill ride, and you'll probably wonder, too, why Gluck's "La Rencontre imprevue isn't a concert-hall sugarplum. Move over, "Russlan und Ludmilla"! In fact, Sarband comes close to breaking the bank in the development section of the first movement of Sussmayr's delightful "Turkish Symphony," where the feverish cross rhythms and syncopations make you think Charles Ives has unleashed one of his orchestral battles of the bands! But not to worry: Improvisation here meets sound classical principles, and if this performance is speculative, it is not wildly speculative, given the highbred nature of 18th-century "Turkish" orchestras. And the results are exciting!

As the notes to the recording also suggest, East-West musical influences in the 18th century were mostly a one-way street, so when the Concerto Koln players sit in with Sarband for sets of traditional Turkish music, we may be on more iffy ground interpretively, but to the untutored at least, the results are beguiling. One of the most enlightening features of the recording is the interpolation of traditional Turkish music with excerpts from Joseph Martin Kraus's Turkish opera "Soliman II." Here we get real Janissary music juxtaposed with Kraus's take on such music, real dervishes cheek-by-jowl with operatic dervishes. Fascinating. I certainly hope Concerto Koln and Sarband don't stop here.

5 out of 5 stars Punch, precision and panache.......2003-07-09

Dream of the Orient is a wonderful album that explores 18th century Europe's concept of Turkish music and the real thing. It combines the talents of Concerto Koln - THE period instrument band (remember Rene Jacobs' Cosi fan tutte?) and the neat little Turkish ensemble Sarband. What is amazing is hearing the two together on certain tracks, which is rather daring since we are combining East and West, jazzy cadences with precision and punch, but it all comes off with a certain panache. My fav is the perfect rendering of Mozart's Overture to Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail. It is incredible. That take properly displays the power and touch of Mozart's awesome entrance. This is a marvelous CD.

5 out of 5 stars Rich and Colorful.......2003-06-21

This excellent CD contains original Turkish and Classical Western Music composed at the time of "Turkish Craze". I love the "Turkish Symphony" by Sussmayr (Mozart's student). It is probably the best exhibition of Turkish drum (Davul) in a classical piece. Another favorite of mine is Todorini's "Izia". I expect more from Sarband and Concerto Koln of the same kind.
