You can almost hear Simon & Garfunkel begin to like each other again on this now-legendary set. On September 19, 1981, the duo reunited for just the second time since their initial breakup and revealed a camaraderie that had apparently vanished years earlier. Not only do they reprise their shared hits, they also work in a few of Paul Simon's solo gems and a couple of telling covers--one from the Everly Brothers and one from Chuck Berry. The band includes the best session men around. By the time they get to the sincerity of "Old Friends" and the joy of "The 59th Street Bridge Song," you sense a relationship fully repaired. After this success, they even planned a studio record together--one that eventually became Simon's overlooked Hearts and Bones--few were surprised when it did not come to pass. --Marc Greilsamer

a great live album............2007-06-08

THE CONCERT IN CENTRAL PARK (recorded in 1981) is probably one of the best live albums I have heard. I originally saw Simon & Garfunkel's reunion concert in Central Park on television. It was a popular "pledge drive" show on PBS, with good reason. This performance was a reconciiliation for Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, who had a fracas some years before (I think they call it "artistic differences" in polite conversation), and broke up their duo. You can feel a really renewed sense of camraderie from these two men. During the time that they broke up, leading up to their Central Park reunion, Paul Simon had recorded some moderately successful hits as a soloist, and interjects some of his tunes ("Kodochrome," as an example) with S&G's greatest hits.

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel sound great here, and sound like they are having a wonderful time playing to an audience that loves them. They open with "Mrs. Robinson," their hit from the soundtrack to THE GRADUATE...."coo coo cujoo," to paraphrase the lyrics. What a brilliant tune and no one sings it with more gusto than the men who made it famous! "Scarborough Fair," "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and many other numbers weave Simon's steadfast melody with Garfunkel's clear harmony. There are times that the two sound like they could have been minstrels, carrying messages of love, longing and rejection to the court of Camelot, and then you hear the rock riff and that vision is scratched! I think the word I am looking for is "timeless." This album delivers on every level and you will really feel like you were there for an historic reunion between two great vocalists. It's just a shame that the reunion feeling didn't last.

Great Live Album...brings you back........2007-03-26

Great music. Great sound. This is definitely an upbeat, happy live album. If you are a fan, this is a must-have. I am not a big fan, and I love it.

Goosebumps!.......2007-03-09

If you like Simon, Garfunkel, or Simon and Garfunkel at all, this CD should be the very first in your collection. Sheer beauty. Not studio quality, (it IS, after all, a live concert) but with such atmosphere, you really don't miss that.

Not my cup of tea.......2007-01-16

One good song, of course "The sound of silence", and the studio version is far better than this one. I am not a fan of the genre as you might expect.

Wonderful music........2006-09-11

Not only a great companion to anyone's Simon and Garfunkel collection, but also a great live CD in its own right, "The Concert in Central Park" is a wonderful and varied collection of songs sung by one of the greatest folk-rock duos of the 20th century.

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, after releasing a series of albums in the 60s and early 70s, broke up to pursue solo careers. For Paul, it was a brilliant move, eventually culminating in a Grammy for his 1986 masterpiece, "Graceland." For Garfunkel, it meant fading from the musical spotlight. That is, until the two reunited for this concert in New York City's "Central Park." The reunion spawned rumors that the duo was "getting back together." Although that wasn't really the case, they still managed to put on an amazing concert, thanks particularly to the energetic crowd and the superb backing band, laying heavy on electric keyboards and steady, no-frills drumwork.

Many of the songs of the set were "greatest hits," of sorts, from the duos early albums. "Sound of Silence," "The Boxer," and many others find their way into the setliest. Particularly of note is the concert opener, "Mrs. Robinson," far more funky and electric than the studio version. Also, the album is packed with many famous hits from Simon's solo years.

If you're already a Paul Simon or Simon and Garfunkel fan, you can't go wrong with this album. The songs sound fresh and fit nicely in the huge live setting. If you're not familiar with the duo, this album is a great place to start given its abundance of hits.

Tha Best!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-17

The whole 3-disc set is so amazing. This is a must-have for any DMB fan. Twenty bucks is worth the money. Anyways the drum solo on two step is the most technical and craziest drum solo ever!!!! It will blow ur mind away!!!! Carter blows the whole song away and takes the spotlight.

Good Concert - Just too many disks!.......2007-01-19

Awesome album with lots of good songs, however if by any chance you don't have your ipod in the car its a pain to find a specific song from the Cds, you have to browse thru 3 disks!!!

Dave Matthews DVD.......2007-01-10

If you're a Dave Matthews Band fan, this is a "must have" incredible DVD. The sound stage whether in pure stereo or 5.1 Dolby Digital puts you in the middle of Central Park. Every song is better than the previous song. There is no getting tired of this DVD. Best drummer, violinist, sax, etc. Pure music enjoyment.

Very good.......2007-01-09

DMB on an incridable show. Three cds that make you think that your money was well spent. Drums, guitars, violins, bass, sax and vocals are a gift to your ears.
** Para os brasileiros***: O CD foi entregue em menos de duas semanas. Vale à pena comprar.

What e Gem.......2006-11-05

By far one of DMB's most incredible performances. The band's sound on this one is unique and the stuff they come up with is mindblowing. Highlights are: Crush, Two Step, Ants Marching and Watchtower. I have to say that the version of 'Crush' is out of this world - I listen to it every day. Your DMB collection is very lacking without this concert, and if you're passionate enough, buy the DVD - you'll be glued to your set for 3 straight hours!

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.

Super Astor.......2007-06-12

This was an icon of the pop culture, why not? of all the culture in general, Piazzolla's greatest concert in a city that's a very crittical about the music, but when was happen, was a boom, and this record show the genious, sensitve, magnificence & a deep humility (as all the greatest) masterpieces for all the music (in special of tango) like Adios Nonino, Lunfardo, Milonga del Angel & Michelangelo was fabulous, i'm sorry that don't get Libertango, VIVA SUPER ASTOR

Haven't tried Piazzolla yet ? Buy this one !.......2001-04-22

I love Piazzolla's music. I own several CDs and I am currently into compositions by his followers. Yet, this CD is the one I always choose to initiate my friends to this wonderful music. It has great selection, it is interpreted with great passion, and it sounds great. Even the part when he talks (briefly) about himself and his music warms my heart everytime. In fact, I am going to listen to my copy as soon as I am done writing this. Enjoy !

The night Tango met with Jazz & Fussion!.......2000-04-26

This is a perfect expample of Piazzola's life-time effort to free Tango from its classic structure and pre-conceived rythm. This superb concert shows what Piazzola was capable of doing with the very popular music of the City of Buenos Aires. This CD offers an excelent recording, nice and emotional communication between Piazzola and the audience, and the selections chosen are among the best of the composer. The material includes the good and long version of "Adios Nonino" (with the piano solo part), impressive and challenging versions of "Verano Porteño", "Milonga del Angel", and "Muerte de Angel" (vintage Piazzola), the expansive music of Concert for Quintet ("Concierto Para Quinteto") and the jazzy sounds of Contrabajismo and Mumuki. Thanks to Piazzola, Tango is more than an exotic night-show for turists in the long nights of Buenos Aires. This is an extraordinary chance for the listener to allow Piazzola to take him to a place where the emotions of Tango meet with Jazz, Fussion, and Classic music. Other related artists: Cacho Tirao, Anibal Troilo, Luis Salinas, and Al Dimeola (accoustic recordings only).

The essential Piazzola.......1999-05-02

The Central Park concert has the best version of "Adios Nonino" I ever heard, the best version and the most virtuous introduction to both "Mumuki" and "Contra Bajissimo", and you will have the plus that Astor himself will explain you in two minutes what is Tango. As an argentinien I have been listening Piazzola's music since I was a teen and the Central Park Concert (and also the Vienna Concert) are the best of him. Close your eyes and when you will open them everything will be different.

Great music & value.......2007-01-09

I got this set to replace my old tape of the Concert in Central Park. Since this set cost less than just the Concert in Central Park CD alone, it's a great value right there. I grew up listening to the Concert in Central Park so I prefer that CD to the 20 Greatest Hits. I like their live sound much better than their studio sound. If you're a fan - get this set.
