5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

3 out of 5 stars Pleasant but Lightweight.......2005-07-22

A friend recently decided to thin out her huge CD collection, and she offered me my pick of the ones she was donating to charity. I grabbed this one, because I had fond memories of the song "What You Won't Do For Love" from the late '70s. I like this album, but I can see why I might wind up giving it away after a few years.

Caldwell's music is soulful and pleasant, but there's a lightweight quality to it. The melodies are catchy but forgettable, and the lyrics tend to be sugary and banal. Caldwell is a good singer, and his phrasing and timbre are reminiscent of Stevie Wonder, but Caldwell's songs have none of the sexual or socio-political edge or emotional depth of Wonder or other great soul artists.

Having said that, this album is solid easy listening fare. The song "What You Won't Do" stands the test of time as a distinctive pop soul classic. Other good songs include the ballads "My Flame" and "Take Me Back to Then." If you enjoy light, breezy pop soul, you'll probably like this CD.

5 out of 5 stars You can't miss out on music like this!.......2004-12-24

This one that made it big for Bobby Caldwell. It's orignally titled "Bobby Caldwell" but was forced to change it due 2 total reasons. Can't say much about it, this is a good album that anybody who wants to hear good music 'cuz my dad said he's was once discovered by Barry White. Everybody should know that the title song to this CD is a all-time favorite slow jam one that would go on years to come.

I recommend u should buy this instead of a hip-hop/rap album I used to buy all the time.

No one should live without this!

3 out of 5 stars some great stuff here, but simply not enough.......2004-11-22

This 1978 album was Bobby Caldwell's first--I believe it was originally a self-titled effort, and that the title was changed to "What You Won't Do for Love" when the song of the same name became a hit. There is some great stuff here, but unfortunately, it seems that Caldwell just didn't have enough material and/ or was in a hurry to meet a deadline, because there is a considerable amount of blatant filler, including overlong fades, & the album runs less than 35 minutes in the first place. Also, the lyrics are often very slight. He's clearly in disco territory on a couple songs--the album opening "Special To Me" is way too sugary, but the wonderfully melodic "Love Won't Wait" is an irresistible, somewhat jazz-flavored tune. The smooth, wistful soft rock ballad "My Flame" is captivating with great hooks, but there are a couple really weak ballads as well with the ridiculously sappy "Come To Me", and "Take Me Back To Then" which is a song about wanting to be a kid again and has a very annoyingly overblown lead vocal. Plus, the funk-flavored love ballad "Can't Say Goodbye" is really let down by the overwrought vocals, lame lyrics, & the excessive, overlong fade. The super mellow album closer "Down For The Third Time" has cool, jazzy guitar, & it's an infectiously catchy tune, but it has a fade that's really long, really repetitive, and really dull. He also slips in an instrumental fragment "Kalimba Song"--it's less than a minute & 1/2 long & fades out so abruptly that it leaves you with an undeniable "What, that's it?" feeling. There's no denying though that the soulful title track is a classic--it's got a great horn riff, cool orchestration, an ultra-catchy melody, & Caldwell's vocals on it are terrific--he sounds quite similar to Stevie Wonder, but without the annoyingly overdone 'show-biz' mannerisms that Wonder has a tendency to indulge in; this song also has a very long fade, but this time it's to nice effect--it's got a nice contemplative, atmospheric feel to it. In the end, the album is a heck of a mixed bag--it's a shame, because the best stuff demonstrates that Caldwell was capable of a masterpiece. As it is, this is still worth getting if you see it for a low price--there is some must-have material on here that makes the album worth having.

5 out of 5 stars Torch Songs, Bobby's Way.......2004-10-31

Unrequited love can't get the best of you lovers out there -- that is, not if this sublime CD is part of your pop/R&B collection. I have the original CD of this set of songs, titled "Bobby Caldwell," and I love kicking back to listen to it when I'm feeling a bit haunted by ghosts, uh, lovers of the past.

My first time hearing "What You Won't Do for Love" was the morning of Valentine's Day on a Top 40 radio station. The DJ announced Bobby Caldwell's name excitedly, and I remember being puzzled because I had never heard of the singer before that day. I probably was late for school because Bobby Caldwell's smooth, soulful vocals blending with the Earth, Wind & Fire-influenced groove had me hypnotized in the middle of my room. Not since Deniece Williams' "Free," released the previous year, had I received such an exquisite lesson in adult-themed romance and intimacy.

As an adult, I love to imagine that Caldwell is crooning to me when I listen to slow cuts like "My Flame" and "Down for the Third Time." I also admire his fast-tempo tracks, but on the slow songs Caldwell gives a nod to Sinatra in his ability to transport the listener to a cozy jazz club setting. It's just Bobby and I, and he's onstage leaning down with the microphone toward me while I sit there blushing at the table-for-one -- ahem, sorry, I guess I got caught up in the moment.

While "What You Won't Do for Love" holds a special place in my memory, "My Flame" has become my favorite in recent years. On that track, the wistful kalimba and guitar pluck on the heartstrings while Caldwell interprets what could be any of our romantic experiences. For example, how many of us still have that "picture on the shelf" (or in the attic or closet -- but not buried there)? And how many of us wish we had a personal time machine that would allow us to demand to that former lover: "Tell me you still want me"? Just listen to the way Bobby Caldwell turns mellifluous on the word "flame" in the last refrain and you'll understand why he's a master of the torch song.

A final word about "My Flame": It has endurance not only in the minds of Caldwell's longtime fans but also in the music industry. Only a few years back, I got chills upon hearing Vanessa L. Williams' alluring cover of the song. (Only one of her greatest-hits collections includes "My Flame," so check out the track listing carefully.) It doesn't matter whether it was her decision or her record label's to record it, but she personified Desire in a way that probably made Caldwell proud -- royalties aside.

As for the midtempo "Down for the Third Time," Caldwell sounds as hip as ever singing about love and independence. The song's melodic ending, with its descending chord progression and Caldwell's undulating "oohs" and "ohs," is so infectious that you'll regret not having programmed the track back-to-back on your CD player.

I wish I could find "Keep No Secrets" - we wore our copy out. It was the best!

4 out of 5 stars been hearing his music for years... never knew it........2001-06-24

When the only album available for an artist is a Best-of album, one wonders what happened to the other albums from which these were compiled... i'm still asking that question, especially after making this the most-listened-to selection in my collection. i found this album while trying to locate a song i heard on the radio... still have not found it, but after hearing this, i want to find more music from Morgan Cryar.

The 2 new (previously unrecorded) cuts included in this collection are certainly good and in good company. 'Cool of the Day' is a catchy song that makes me long to be able to take my 'rightful' (only as a child of His) place and walk with Him in the cool of the day, every day... But even more impressive is the 'Meet Your Maker' cut! It is an up-beat reminder that sooner or later, we will all meet our maker... whether or not we acknowledge His existence... but more, it's an invitation to those who don't know Him. Because of this, it has become the song of my heart ("Come with me, let me introduce you...")

But it was the title cut 'What Sin' that really sold me on Morgan's music. This is something i can sing (in the shower, in the car, or even at church) and is a reminder of the awesome forgiveness offered by a God who knows everything about us and still loves us. It is a guilt-lifting ballad and it worth the price of the ablum by itself.

Other fav's that caught my ear include (you can still) `Pray in the USA', `If I Never See a Miracle', `Strength of the Weak', `Kingdom Upside Down', and the ever-convicting `My Old Friends'. But lest I get `Carried Away' with my words, let me leave you with an invitation to listen to Morgan's. Because his music is in what I would call soft rock, the lyrics (and message) are clear. I highly recommend that you add this album to your collection.

4 out of 5 stars The song " What sin?" is so very anointed and beautiful........1999-11-02

We are using the song "What Sin?" in our Post Abortion Bible study. We feel it has God's healing hand all over it.

4 out of 5 stars So glad I finally found It!.......1999-08-14

HAd been looking for "Pray in the USA" for months I think that one song is powerful and will add so much to the application of Daniel ch 6. to our lives as Christians in basically a pagan culture. Reminds me of the Keith Green exhortation type music I have missed. share the message of this CD with all the christians who need motivation to PRAY!

3 out of 5 stars Mellow rocker rides the fence on breaking new ground........1998-12-31

A career of innocuous "hit" singles makes for an innocuous "best of" album. Still, the inclusion of earlier butt-kickers like the militant "Pray in the USA" and dance rock "Carried Away" make this collection worthy of purchase, especially since those tunes cannot be found anywhere else on CD. And the title track is a classic heart-wrencher that will never lose its impact or freshness. Two new tracks add a little more depth to the collection, particularly "Cool of the Day" which sounds very much like it could have been released by the Wonders from the movie, "That Thing You Do". Morgan Cryar has a great rock and roll voice, but plays it safe in the studio rather than taking risks and testing his limits. Consequently, this compilation is a good listen, but not a compelling one.

The word "fabulous" seems vulgar when applied to the Spanish diva whose delicately shaded voice encompassed music from the middle ages to the present. This four-disc compilation emphasizes her song repertoire, to which she brought warmth, intelligence, linguistic integrity and irresistible sincerity. Her dignity makes listeners want to come to her, and she rewards them with an intimate, personal experience, especially in this small-scale repertoire by Ravel, Debussy, Duparc, Fauré, lots of Spanish composers and German masters such as Schubert and Brahms. --David Patrick Stearns

5 out of 5 stars Awesome musicality.......2006-07-26

This 4-CD set is a tribute to the concert career of the great Victoria de Los Angeles. The first 3 CDs show her totally at home in the art song of France and of her native Spain. In the French art songs, her silvery, creamy tone, her legendary legato and her perfect French diction make for wonderful and unforgettable performances. These include a sensual Scheherazade, magnificient singing in the Duparc songs and a phenomenal Poeme de L'amour et de la mer of Chausson (try to keep your eyes dry by the end of La mort de l'amour). In the Chausson, while de Los Angeles does not opt for the intensely Wagnerian approach, her sensitive singing more than does justice to the poetry and the feelings of the character. The Spanish songs showcase de Los Angeles at her most natural, flamboyant and attractive singing. The tunes are catchy, full of bouncy rhythms and De Los Angeles's fabulous voice never ceases to amaze. The 4th CD shows the wonderful chemistry between de Los angeles and the great Gerald Moore. While she does not erase memories of Fischer-Dieskau and Schwarzkopf in the Schubert selections, the Brahms songs are excellent and her Faure songs here are earth shaking in their elegance and refinement. The Italian and the famous Handel aria helps to prove De Los Angeles's reputation as an excellent bel canto singer. Her duets with Fischer-Dieskau are absolutely memorable and gorgeous.
The set comes with booklet including full words plus translations, helpful notes on De Los Angeles's concert career and a dozen of beautiful and rare black and white photos. Victoria de Los Angeles's concert career was as prolific as her legendary operatic performances and continued well after her retirement from the operatic stage. This introspective and almost encycopledic release is a real treat and is absolutely recommended. I totally agree with the editor's review who states that the word "fabulous" fails in every respect to fully capture the artistry of the Spanish soprano. Victoria de Los Angeles is definitely one of the most wonderful lyric sopranos of the 20th century and is one of the most heavenly artists to have ever graced the concert scene. A must-have for any collection.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous? Yes!!!.......1999-09-13

The album is a marvelous sampling of this great singer's artistry. Her performances of the French and Spanish composers are something special. The De Falla "Seven Popular Folksongs" are powerful, passionate; the last song, "Jota," raised the hair on the back of my neck.

I was delighted to see Faure's "Claire de lune" on the album, and equally delighted with De Los Angeles' elegant rendition of this work. The only recording of the song I've liked better is from an LP featuring Frederika Von Stade.

As an added bonus, several duets with the great baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau are featured on Disk #4. These include some charming settings of Irish songs by Beethoven, and a gorgeous arrangement of "Let Us Wander" by Henry Purcell. I remember hearing these duets years ago on an LP recording, and it was a pleasure to hear them again.

      5 out of 5 stars Music for the soul.......2005-08-14

      Highly recommended, specially for those Bach enthusiasts. This
      recording is also a moving guitar performance by Parkening.

      5 out of 5 stars Amazing..............2004-05-16

      BACH ON GUITAR now there's a novalty...NO, actually Bach on Guitar is an excellent combination. To my knowlege Bach did not compose for the classical guitar directly, however he did write some Lute pieces which can be played on guitar with a little "tweaking". However much of Bach's music can be transcribed to to classical Guitar. (Notice that I said Classical Guitar not the "machine gun" noise you would hear from a rock guitar with the 1000watt--120db amplifiers blairing at you like a in a Rock concert!!)
      Christopher Parkening, I think, demonstrates this quite well.
      The music that eminates from his Guitar blends perfectly this the Orchestra accompaniment. In listen to him play...I find myself humming or whisling some of these "mind stickers" duing the day. I rate this CD six+ stars..unfortunately only 5 stars is is allowed!!!!
      BUY IT You'll like it!!!!!!!!

      5 out of 5 stars Incredible playing, beautiful songs!.......2001-11-06

      Christopher Parkening is a genius. If anyone doubts that, I give and advice: hear this album. His technique is impressive, his notes are so clean! And his feeling, his passion in his playing is very beautiful, it really represents the soul of it, I'm sure that Bach would be very pleased and proud of Parkening's playing.
      AMAZING!!!!!

      5 out of 5 stars Serene and Lovely.......2001-01-29

      A beautiful recording, made be a superb artist who clearly reveres this sublime music and plays is accordingly. The recording of Bach's "Sleepers Awake" is especially esquisite - it's so lovely I find myself pausing in the middle of whatever I'm doing when it plays to enjoy a small wave of serenity, and reverence for the unsurpassed beauty of this music. It can bring tears to the eyes even after a hundred listenings. Thanks, Christopher for your artistry! Your music plays often in our home, and sets a lovely, serene, and calming tone.

      5 out of 5 stars One of my Top 3 Favorite CD's.......2001-01-27

      For one who loves the classical guitar and Bach, this is the ultimate. Parkening does such an excellent job, backed up the the LA Chamber Orchestra. Their rendition of my favorite "Sheep May Safely Graze" and "God Alone Shall Have My Heart" are sensational!
