5 out of 5 stars I love it and I give it as a gift.......2006-12-11

This is the first collection of choral music that I've purchased and I love it. I own copies of operas and requiems and masses, but if you attend choral concerts, as I have been recently, you learn there is a huge colletion of choral music appart from the forms I've been listening to. I appreciate the producers selecting "Song for Athene" by Tavener and "Celebration (Standing Stone)" by McCartney. They are new to me and I love them. Disk 1 ends with "Jerusalem" and Disk 2 ends with "Land of Hope and Glory." As an American I rarely hear these and I am so glad they were included. I believe this album was intended to help popularize choral music and I believe the selections do fine job towards that end.

I know snobs rage against popularizing classical music, but everyone deserves exposure to the beauty of song. I will also mention here "The East Village Opera Company" because they work to popularize opera by setting it to a rock beat. They do a fine job but also get criticized for attempting to popularize classical music.

"The Best Choral Album in the World...Ever" was so popular with my teen-age daughter that it was hard to get it back from her. I give the album as a gift to nephews and nieces.

4 out of 5 stars MarMSED.......2005-08-27

The music selections are extraordinary. The only problem has to do with the balance of sound. There are some parts that are very loud, and some that are so very soft. You have to continually adjust the volume.

3 out of 5 stars Diverse range but the songs are butchered..........2005-07-24

Well, this CD isn't horrible by any stretch, but it is irritating to someone who's more than a casual listener of choral music. I'm by no means as musically "literate" as many reviewers out there, but I have a collection of probably twenty-five or thirty choral CD's and this is one that will probably be gathering dust in the back of the CD book.

The peices are well-performed for the most part, but they are hopelessly edited. Beethoven's Ode to Joy is somewhere around twenty four minutes, but this CD only includes an arrangement of about five minutes. The beautiful Miserere is, uncut, almost eleven minutes but is cut down to five and a half minutes here.

Looking back, I should have realized the major editing that would be involved, just by the sheer number of peices on it. I'm familiar with a great many of them and I know they're too long to fit onto a seventy minute disc without some major cutting going on. I just didn't reason that out before I shelled out the money for it.

Bottom line. This CD has decent singing, but is nothing special. If you're a newcomer to this genre, you might get this as a quick overview of the different types of choral music out there, but if you're any kind of an avid listener, this CD will drive you insane with the severity of the cuts. Beginners, if you're looking for a great collection CD, you'd do better to look at "Choral Moods". It doesn't have the diversity in styles of this one, but it will introduce you to incredibly talented composers. To the old hats out there, steer clear of this one and look to CD's by your preferred individual composers themselves. It's more money, but much less frustration in the long run. The old sayings are sometimes the best: You get what you pay for.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Collection of Classical I have........2006-12-14

I don't care much for compilation CDs. Usually they are someone else's favorite set of songs from that genre or composer. I usually like the songs, but when I get into listening to the other songs in the genre or by the same composer I find songs that I'm more fond of.

This collection is different.

I try not to be too generous with my top ratings in iTunes for songs, I don't give out a four or five stars to just anything, but many of the songs from this collection make up a good chunk of my top rated songs. I just love this collection.

2 out of 5 stars This is not a good digital recording.......1999-07-27

There is a 'record player' hum in the background when you try to listen to various tracks on these CDs. The compilation is wonderful. The Quality of the recording is very disappointing. The outside of the album cover reads DDD which I thought to mean clean and clear all digital recording. Don't be deceived by the cover.

Reggae for Kids: Movie Classics takes the magic of Disney and ramps it up tenfold with 13 Disney movie themes and tunes from the studio's well-loved films--all set to five-star reggae interpretations. Some of these songs sound as if they were meant be recorded in the syncopated and lilting reggae form, especially Bunny Wailer's playful reprise of "Hakuna Matata," Don Carlos's splendidly rich "Zippity Do Dah," and J.C. Lodge's "Colors of the Wind." The latter tune is so inspired by Lodge's honey-coated vocal that the song's poignant lyrics translate well through the worlds of difference between European explorers and the Native Americans' honor of nature and spirit. Lodge's rendition ultimately communicates much of the myth embroidered in Jamaican music and religious beliefs. Like so many of Disney's deep and lyrical songs that create a place of timelessness where childhood never ends, these transported classics are effortlessly reborn--and rejuvenated--for any listener. Highly recommended. --Martin Keller

I heard this cd played on a local public radio station in Cincinnati back in late March and was moved to call the radio station to find out what the cd was and where I could find it....Amazon.com had the cd and I was thrilled that I wouldn't have to drive back to Ohio to make the purchase. The cd is wonderful for children and adults who grew up with Disney movies and songs.

4 out of 5 stars Soothing to the Soul.......2006-07-07

If you like music to calm your tormented spirit this one is for you. The amplitude or the recording runs from barely audible to overwhelming. You will be adjusting your volume control several times in order to fully appreciate this CD. 'The Lovers' is easier to listen to requiring less adjustment. Prayers of Kierkegaard Op. 30 was my motive for purchasing but it is over much too quickly @ 19 minutes 20 seconds. Overall my only negative thought is that the time of the pieces disappoints. The total length of both pieces is only 51 minutes 51 seconds which seems to pass too quickly for my liking. The performance is clean and typical of Barber with dramatic chorale combining with great orchestration. I would classify this CD as Operatic. Hope this helps.

4 out of 5 stars Barber Rarities Shine.......2003-04-14

Samuel Barber had a reputation as a literary composer, and his taste in written material, the angsty journals of Soren Kierkegaard and the lushly sensual poems of Pablo Neruda, reflect well on his taste.

I'm a big Barber fan. His biography, which includes being an army brat, a drinker, and a homosexual, is intriguing, and his insistence on sad sweet lyricism and hummable melody through a 20th century of percussive dissonance and willful abstraction is brave.

I had high hopes for the Neruda settings. These poems fairly cackle with eroticism and sensuality, encompassing both love and loss. Barber's musical romanticism should have been the perfect match, but his take on "The Lovers" never quite comes to life. His melodies seem static here and fail to captivate--so unlike his achingly lovely Essays for Orchestra and famously elegaic Adagio for Strings.

The "Prayers of Kierkegaard," on the other hand, achieve sublimity. Barber's musical settings for these open the disc and show us many faces: quasi-Gregorian chant, mellifluous mezzo soloes, Stravinskian thunder, seamless choral work in the service of inspired melodies. It's intriguing that Barber seems more able to craft fine music for works about religious rather than erotic ecstasy.

This Grammy-winning disc is a pristine digital recording. Its clarity is beyond reproach, and its performances from the orchestra and the chorus are fine ones. Another reviewer prefers the Telarc recording of "Prayers," and I will be investigating this on the chance that he's correct. I hope so!
I'd gladly own two or more versions of this underrated work.

4 out of 5 stars Two rarities from Barber.......2002-02-13

As the CD proclaims, this is the first recording of Barber's "The Lovers," a 1971 setting of poems from Pablo Neruda's "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair." (Incidentally, Neruda won the Nobel Prize in Literature that year.)

The lyrics, while neither "raunchy" nor obscene, are forthright: the baritones enter one of the work's nine movements singing "Strip off your clothes, strip off your clothes."

The forces acquit themselves admirably, as the piece slowly works its way from the lust of the opening movement to the despair of the final movement ("Cemetery of kisses"), with its final hushed lament, "Forsaken!" Duesing in particular makes a fine soloist in this work.

A bit less successful is the performance of "Prayers of Kierkegaard", which makes an interesting comparison, in that it is a setting of four prayers of divine love. The performance is good, but a comparison to Robert Shaw's Grammy-winning recording for Telarc does not help this CD. On the plus side, the "orchestral dance" before the final prayer comes off a little more clearly, and a little more heavily, on this CD. On the downside, Sarah Reese sings with far too much vibrato (as do, to a lesser extent, the sopranos in the chorus), robbing the soprano solo of much of the purity and beauty that Carmen Pelton gives the Telarc recording.

I would definitely recommend this to fans of Barber for "The Lovers" alone; if you're looking for "Prayers of Kierkegaard," however, go with Shaw on Telarc. [Also, at 52 minutes, the CD is a bit too short, at full-price, to recommend to someone just getting started with Barber. It is a pity, given the extra space available, that they couldn't have included a third work, such as Barber's "Medea's Dance of Vengeance"--which would have provided a third view on love (in this case, love denied/betrayed).]

5 out of 5 stars Raunchy lyrics with a difference!.......2000-02-13

Barber's The Lovers is set to erotic poetry by Pablo Neruda but the resulting music is bucolic rather than sexual, with a strong pictoral element. Listeners familiar with Knoxville Summer of 1915 will know what to expect. The Lovers is a nine-movement, half-hour piece for chorus, baritone and orchestra. Its lyrical attributes are considerable indeed. Prayers of Kierkegaard is based on poems about divine love. It is also a very moving piece. I especially like the ardent singing of Sarah Reese but all the performers on this disc distinguish themselves and are well recorded, even if the choral forces are not ideally balanced. Five stars to all involved for uncovering a relatively obscure but highly rewarding corner of the repertoire.

        This is a must-have album. Why is this not available? You have Copland, Ives, Gould, Herrmann, Moross and others. These are great American composers. I have never seen such a well rounded and representive body of works from so many great Americans. Go out and find a copy of this one. It's great!
