Opening with Clara Rockmore's reworking of Tchaikovsky with the theremin, and finishing with one of Brian Eno's ambient soundscapes, OHM artfully succeeds in its goal of giving a representative (as opposed to the impossible, comprehensive) overview of the first several decades of electronic music. Over 3 discs, 42 compositions, and 96 pages of notes and photos, OHM clearly illustrates the producers' and contributing writers' point that early electronic music is much of the foundation of contemporary music. Herein lies the connective tissue bridging musique concrète, 20th-century classical, electronic experimentation, and the theoretical avant-garde to psychedelia, ambient, dub, techno, electro, and synthpop and the globalization of sound. The groundbreaking uses of loops, sampling, drones, remixes, and cut-and-paste technology are put fully into context. The diversity of music included makes any sort of summation impossible, but that is also the point: electronic music is not really a genre, but an open field of endless possibility. From John Cage's famous "William's Mix" of tape snippets to Karkheinz Stockhausen's electronic orchestral compositions, from David Tudor and Holger Czukay's experiments in unrelated blendings of audio elements to David Behrman's supremely peaceful duet between computers and musicians, the aural renegades on OHM tread where none (save a few of their contemporaries) had gone before. The liner notes convey the incredible amount of hard work and experimentation it took to stitch together many of these pieces in the predigital era. Putting aside the inevitable quibbles about what's missing (much of it due to legal and/or logistical issues), a more complete collection of musical eggheads, eccentrics, and visionaries is hard to imagine. --Carl HanniCustomer Reviews:
excellent but uncomplete.......2006-11-12
(which was bigger than Koln's WDR studios) with Bruno Maderna, Luciano Berio and Luigi Nono.
This is a big mistake. Milans studios were the biggest of europe and produced many important electroacoustic pieces.
If the collection aim to describe faithfully electronic music history, it should include this artists too.
To call it music may be a bit limiting. .......2006-10-24
A more successful way to approach such a broad and varied collection of audio experimentation is to think of it as curated sound. This isn't something to wash the dishes to, or to seduce someone to (although if you did manage to seduce someone with the recordings on this anthology, HOLD ON TO THAT PERSON, because they've got to be a keeper). These are unique sound textures that deserve a close, probably solitary listen, and I think if you're in the right frame of mind, it can be a very rewarding listen.
My main complaint is sequencing: each dicrete piece follows it's own internal logic, so there are more than a couple rough gear changes. However, since each piece is so different, and the collection is so varied, I'm not sure that you could totally escape that.
A worthwhile collection.......2006-01-11
It is unfair to mark this collection down due to the production quality and 'musicality' of its contents, to do so would be to staggeringly miss the point of the development of electronic music through the 20th Century. What this collection shows is the ideas behind those at the cutting edge of the genre before many could even conceive of such output. That said it is hard going at points, as experimental music can be.
Highlights for me are no doubt Olivier Messiaen's 'Oraison' on CD 1, David Tudor's 'Rainforest Version 1' on CD 2 and on CD 3 David Behrman's 'On the Other Ocean' and Maryanne Amacher's 'Living sound Patent Pending'.
OhMyGodHowDreadful.......2005-08-15
Kid Stockhausen.......2003-01-17
Admittedly, some of the songs are much more interesting to think about than they are to listen to. Some of the early pieces that were made through thosuands of hours of pains-taking tape-splicing could be made today in an afternoon with a digital audio editor and a few effects plug-ins.
It is a beautiful package, containing a 90 page booklet of essays, quotations from the featured artists, and photographs. What all music should be: an education in daring.

Recorded live at Tetzlaff's Heimbach Chamber Music Festival in 2002, the violinist and his piano partner bring out all the lyric poetry of Brahms's three violin sonatas as well as blinding virtuosity when it's called for. So the sweet singing that opens the First Sonata is done with great feeling, and they make the scintillating Presto finale of the Third Sonata an exciting romp. The duo's timings in the sonatas are among the fastest on disc, but the rightness of their playing and phrasing add up to flowing beauty, not excessive speed. They enter into Brahms's gently nostalgic moods when called for, but the overall impression they leave is of a rhapsodic Romanticism, full of passionate ardor. Vogt's full-bodied pianism, Tetzlaff's pure upper register and velvety bottom, and the pair's apt phrasing make this a highly satisfying release. The disc's encore is Brahms's early scherzo movement, which goes like the wind. The engineering is exemplary. An eminently recommendable disc! --Dan Davis

Album Description
Interesting title, and one that is highly appropriate. Robert Ian Winstin's compositional output seems to defy categorization. At times he is blatantly neo-classical, as in his "Symphony #5" (`Symphony of Song'), and in other works, even from the same compositional era, he seems to flaunt convention, as in his very interesting `music history' work "Opening Night Overture", and writes completely Out of the Box. In fact, nothing about Winstin's work, or life, for that matter, could claim to be `within boundaries'. A distinguished composer and conductor, well respected by professional peers throughout the world and, yet, he spends a tremendous amount of conductor. (He claims it "energizes him and keeps him fresh". It also "needs to be donewhy in the world would you want your child to have a bad conductor?") He travels weekly between the Mid-West and the East Coast, partly to work with the two youth orchestras he founded, and partly to spend time with his wife and step-children. In between, he sandwiches outside concert appearances, recordings (of which he does a lot), community activism (he is the former Chairman of the Arts Commission in Illinois) and composing. He once quipped, in an interview on Public Radio, that he did his best work in public libraries and on airplanes. He shuns the usual commissions in favor of more `interesting', and often less financially rewarding, compositional opportunities. And, he seems to revel in all of this with his performance style that often has him joking with the audience from the podium and encouraging applause between movements ("It's okay to clap when you think we're doing a great jobwe do ask that you spare us the spoiled tomatoes when you think the opposite!") an almost sacrilegious behaviour in the very conservative field of classical music. Of course, none of this should come as a surprise to an audience member as they watch the six-foot-three, stocky ("I'm slightly plump") Winstin take the stage with his shock of long hair (a `long-hair' in long haired music) and an over-sized, almost all grey, goatee. It should be obvious from the beginning that he is going to be coloring outside the lines.Customer Reviews:
Must Have.......2004-07-15
Boffo!.......2004-07-06
What a great find - a CD AND DVD in the same package. I have heard Winstin's music before on NPR and at a concert in San Francisco a few years ago and found myself intrigued by this composer and performer.
I am glad to see Winstin's music recorded by top-rate orchestras. I loved the Scherzo Burlesque and the Trumpet Concerto. The highlight, though, was the recording of Winstin's very moving "Spirituals for Violin and Orchestra" with the young violinist Danielle Economy.
This is a "Masterwork" (Winstin conducts the "Masterworks of the New Era" recordings) in the biggest sense. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to play the thing - it is so "American" sounding, yet not beholden to the past.
Economy's playing is at times brilliant - it is obvious why she was picked for this recording.
The DVD titles are fun and help understand what Winstin is all about.
I give this title FIVE STARS.

Hard to believe that as early as 1958 there was a 25-year retrospective concert of John Cage's music. But this 3-CD set documents both the concert and its meaning for the history of New Music. Organized by no less than Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Emile de Antonio, the event sparked heated controversy--some of it documented in the crowd's reaction to Cage's early tape- music piece, Williams Mix. The expansive booklet accompanying the CDs includes loads of prescient commentary, much of it from Cage himself. Most telling is the simple formulation: "New Music. New Listening. Just an attention to the activity of sounds." Cage's earliest-prepared piano sonatas are abbreviated with clangorous, percussive results, and the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra sprawls noisily in myriad directions. The sound is broad and warm for a 40-year-old live recording, and this is a cornerstone document of post-World War II art. --Andrew BartlettCustomer Reviews:

Good recording and playing, lacks romance.......2005-12-04
From the start I did not find this version inviting to listen to, but over time I got used to it.
Then I gave this to a friend as a gift and he unequivickly felt the same way but refuses to get used to it. I told him about the Pearlman version and he said it's probably good.
Then I got on Amazon and bought a used Pearlman four seasons and I saw the difference.
Pearlman's is dreamy, heavenly, romantic, carefree etc.. and therefore inviting.
This one though perfect in instrument playing and recording to me seems rigid, forced and therefore lifeless. As if the musicians had to do this for homework to school, as if they do not understand the piece, as if they don't enjoy it or the piece does nothing for them.
One thing is for sure, it does nothing for me.
Sorry
