Editorial Reviews
Les McIntyre, Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine, November 2001
Code Blue has created a minor masterpiece, and they are one group that certainly bears close scrutiny in future endevors.

About the Artist
Although a relatively new presence in the Tidewater Virginia area, Code Blue puts in the hard work - and has the individual experience and desire - to provide the polish and cohesiveness usually seen in much more seasoned ensembles. This band has dedicated itself to providing quality music in a hard driving, entertaining way. Code Blue performs high-energy bluegrass from the rock solid traditionals to their own arrangements and original music, and derives the drive and intensity of their music from the long experience and dedication of the band members. The band is very fortunate to have three great singers who sing all the parts and take the time to make the vocals work. Code Blue was formed in the late summer of 1996 and right away the group walked away with a bonanza of honors at the Chase City Virginia Annual Old Time Music Association Awards, including 1996 Virginia State Champions, first place Lead Vocal and Fiddle, as well as Second Place Guitar and Banjo. In 1997 Code Blue took first runner-up at the annual Cabin Fever Jam. Code Blue is a member of the International Bluegrass Music Association. The band has performed at numerous festival events and private functions, performing with groups like Dr. Ralph Stanley and The Clinch Mountain Boys, Charlie Waller and the Country Gentleman, III Thyme Out, The James King Band, J. D. Crowe and The New South, Little Roy Lewis and the Lewis Family, The Reno Brothers, Larry Sparks, The Strangers, The Steven's Sisters, The Churchman, and even Joe Diffie, just to name a few.

    Boskovsky's encyclopedic collection with the Vienna Philharmonic, recorded between 1957 and 1976, is as close to definitive as one is likely to get. There was a special camaraderie between Boskovsky and the Philharmonic--he was a member of the orchestra's violin section for 37 years and conducted their New Year's Day concerts from 1955 until 1979. There was also a special empathy that these performers, as custodians of a tradition going back to its origins, felt for the music of the Strauss family. It comes across quite wonderfully on these mid-price CDs, which have been painstakingly remastered for an edition every collector should have. --Ted Libbey

    5 out of 5 stars Superb collection.......2006-03-07

    If you love or are just curious about the music of Vienna's Strauss family, this is the box set for you. You need look no further. Willi Boskovsky and the Vienna Philharmonic set the standards for the performance of these sublime waltzes, polkas and marches. The sound is fine, too, even though the recordings are not new. This is, quite simply, a magnificent set. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

    5 out of 5 stars Boskovsky and the Strauss Family of Vienna........2003-06-12

    A long series of Strauss music recordings conducted by Willi Boskovsky provides the contents of this slender, super-compact box of 6 CDs. Those who collected the original issues should check the contents before jettisoning them, because not everything has been reissued here. I especially regret that the vocal version of "An der schönen blauen Donau" has been omitted.

    No combination has ever excelled Willi Boskovsky and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in performing this repertoire. Although the waltzes, polkas, quadrilles, marches and overtures were performed over and over again by these musicians, there is never a hint of workaday routine or staleness to be heard here. Everything seems to unfold naturally. Each item's inherent character is displayed. Tiny nuances and felicities of phrasing and a balance that favors the melody and reduces the accompaniment make these performances inimitable. The performance of "Morgenblätter" seems to provide a tad more excitement and impact than the other 85 items.

    The recordings were made between 1960 and 1976. They are studio recordings, not deriving from the famous New Year concerts, and all but the few items from the very earliest year provide excellent sound.

    5 out of 5 stars Strauss's Lover Must Own!!!!!.......2001-10-09

    Budget Price..... Recording and sound are good to excellence .... Let's enjoy and touch the spirits of Vienna now.....

      5 out of 5 stars Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12

      This is the "Merry Widow" with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved this rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with the word "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note with an incressing crescendo and fortissimo louder than the chorus and holding the final high note---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

      The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

          Album Description

          Music in special tunings from ancient Mesopotamia. These tunings are different than those used in most Western music. They are more harmonious. The first thing one notices is that it feels different. It feels calmer, more peaceful and more whole. Healing music played in the ancient Mesopotamian tunings enhances physical, emotional and spiritual balance as it evokes new levels of awareness within the listener.

          5 out of 5 stars amazing, unique, beautiful.......2002-10-14

          It's one of those little known but very important facts that music that is harmonious in the ancient sense no longer exists in our society. This is due to the way modern instruments are tuned - musicians have to be able to jump from key to key, and so the ancient harmonies have been subtly broken and forgotten. Along comes Fred Cameron and takes us not just back to the days before modern equal temperment tuning (about 200 years) but back to a method of tuning that dates back thousands of years, to ancient Mesopotamia. The results are very beautiful and very unique - there is just nothing else like it. I'd personally like to see more musicians, who are usually an experimental and open-minded bunch, try the ancient harmonious tuning systems. The differences are quite amazing.

          5 out of 5 stars Take a Journey Home.......2000-09-25

          This CD is stunning. I have listened to and used many new consciousness style music CD's over the years but this one amazes me. I have used it for my personal meditation and for clients in my healing practice. Each time I have played it for someone the first time, I told them nothing about the music or the tunings used in it. Each time the listener used similar words to describe their experiences. Words like.."I felt my heart opening." "I felt like I had traveled to a strange yet familiar place" "this sounds like my heart if it were set to music." These people had inner visions and messages and profoundly peaceful healing experiences. As a healer and a journey taker I highly recommend this journey to you.

            3 out of 5 stars Expecting More- Getting Less.......2006-03-16

            The sound quality is excellent. The choice in music is disappointing. I can name FOUR Horner movie scores or background music that is breath-taking enough that they should have merited inclusion (but alas were not recorded here).

            I don't know the dates when these music pieces were released, but it could have been within a couple of years apart. Why? Because this collection has a few tracks that sound VERY SIMILAR. Hence, this CD does NOT fully explore the extent of this great composer's talent.

            5 out of 5 stars nice sampler of Horner's work.......2005-08-15

            I had most of these tracks on other CDs, but this is a good sampler of Mr. Horners career on a single CD. There are some tracks which are from Original soundtracks in the Varese back catalogue, but most of hte tracks are re-recorded by the Royal Sottish National and Seattle Symphony Orchestras conducted by Cliff Eidelman, Joel McNeeley and John Debney. Also check out Heart of the Ocean (Sonic Images) and Titanic: Essential James Horner Collection (Silva America) for other overviews on Mr. Horner's career.

            5 out of 5 stars James Horner as Best Movie Composer.......2000-02-05

            To say that James Horner is the most talented soundtrack composer would be an understatement. To my count he has written more than 10 scores. The score for Titanic is as exciting as it is relaxing. This soundtrack is so well made, that I bought the second one! Like the movie, each peice on the soundtrack builds up to the climax. If I had it in front of me, I would be sure to give specific examples, but unfortunetly, I don't. However, I will say that the peice, Rose, which I believe is #4, captures the true meanig of this outstanding movie, and therefore proves how well a composer James Horner has proven to be.

            5 out of 5 stars James Horner and John Williams are the best!!.......1999-04-08

            At one time I belived the one and only great modern day film composer was John Williams, this album proved me wrong. James Horner, to me is still not as good as John Williams, but dangerously close. Horner in this album has basically summed up sum of his gratest songs ever written. The greatest song in this album is either Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn End Titles, the Courage under Fire Theme, or Apollo 13 (The Launch). Some other honorable mentions include Aliens (Futile Escape), Titanic(Southampton,Rose , Take Her to Sea Mr. Murdoch,and Braveheart's End Credits, and Cocoon: The Return (Returning Home). Mr. Horner has done a fabulous job in expressing emotion almost as good as John Wiliiams. These 13 collabarations dsisplay emotions such as hope, fright, compassion, and courage. This albums only problem's were the fact it left out the music of some other of Horner's best work(Land Before Time, Glory, and An American Tale). The album ignored Horner's "Rock" titles which include Red Heat, Commando, and Gorky Park. This has to be one of the must buy's of the year. Two Very Honest Thumbs Up For James Horner and Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Chorus.

            4 out of 5 stars James Horner joins John Williams as the 2 greatest composers.......1999-04-07

            I have thought John Williams was the number one film composer, but now I think he has met his match (Williams is still number 1). James Horner can display different emotions in all of his music. From the martial tone of Courage Under Fire (one of my favorites) to the mystical feeling of Casper and Cocoon: The Return. There is heart pounding Futile Chase from Aliens, and of course the heart wrenching melodies of Titanic. Braveheart gives you the tone of Scottish (the bagpipes, you can't miss them) victory. Both Brainstorm and Once Around, to me, give the feeling of hope. How do you forget the feeling of sucess in Apollo 13 or the intergalactic victory in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. This is the perfect album if you want to hear just the great songs. Horner brings out the true emotion in films just the same way that John Williams does. The only change I would make is to add a couple songs from Land Before Time in this album. Those songs would put this album to a 5. Two Thumbs Up!
