Customer Reviews:
Beautiful album by excellent musicians........2006-03-11
I had not heard of Richard Stoltzman (Clarinet) but this is a generous (66+ minutes)and wonderful CD. The musicians such as guitarist Gene Bertoncini and the English Chamber Orchestra are
excellent. "Sleepless in Seattle" is an upbeat tune and "Out of Africa" is simply beautiful. An excellent variety and treatment of these movie themes. Highly recommended. P.S. - The above
album title shows artist as "Eddie Gomez" - he does play on the album but Mr. Stoltzman is the "headliner."
This CD is My TREASURY!! .......2006-01-08
First tune "The piano" made me get stuck.
And, I was moved to tears.
All the other tunes impress me,too.
This item made Richard Stoltzman to became My Most Favorite Artist of the world.
Now,10years have passed after I boght it.
But it never fades.

Customer Reviews:
The barest glimpse of John Williams.......2006-08-15
John Williams is one of the world's best guitarists, but you'd never know it by listening to this album. He basically plucks out the melody. I think I hear more complex playing in the background, but if that's what it is, it's mixed so as to be barely audible. On the other hand, it's very nice background music. I hope brisk sales support Williams' more serious efforts.
Maybe it'll grow on me.......2004-07-28
If I were not a guitarist myself, I would find this collection very very charming. Certainly the selections are beautiful, and Williams is renowned for one of them: Stanley Myers' "Cavatina" from THE DEER HUNTER. It's just that for me this recording does virtually nothing for either the guitar or the lovely pieces selected for this rather peculiar alteration. I'm just not sure that this kind of project, where a virtuoso SOLOIST is brought in to ACCOMPANY an orchestra (Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma have done similar recordings) is a winner; not even five percent of Williams' prodigious technique is anywhere to be heard and he just sounds so irrelevant. (I'd usually expect to hear this kind of thing from Liona Boyd.) That being acknowledged though, the melodies ARE perfectly lovely and Mr. Williams HAS throughout his great career done many brilliant recordings of dense and difficult music that leave one's mouth agape. I suppose he's earned this little vacation.
Very Good!!!.......2002-09-15
I like this CD very much, I have looked for it for 5 years since I listened its MP3, I got it now, thanks!
disappointing.......2001-04-24
While this album is pleasant enough, it is more orchestra music than classical guitar. John Williams is a great classical guitarist, but the guitar part on this album could have been played by any competent guitarist. If you want nice background music, this album is ok. If you want classical guitar music, look elsewhere.
Williams' Winning Style Captures Film Scores.......2000-08-25
If you like film music, this CD is for you; if you like guitar music, this CD is for you. John Williams brings his guitar virtuosity to bear masterfully on the scores of a number of popular films, which span a period of 60 years.
The use of the guitar gives a different sound to number of the selections, and shows that a good piece of music will shine, no matter what the instrumentation.

Product Description
With their third studio release, Frogg Cafés Fortunate Observer of Time delivers a sonic journey from start to finish. Expanding on musical textures and styles from their previous album (the acclaimed Creatures) this New York Quintet takes their unique sound to the next level. Fortunate Observer of Time is a classic progressive rock album infused with jazz and jamband improvisation, driving melody lines, angular harmonies, and a motivic classical counterpoint that creates an exciting and cohesive listening experience. With a guest appearance by Frank Zappas percussionist Ed Mann on the 15 minute epic Abyss of Dissension and mastered by the Grammy award winning engineer Andreas Meyer this 2005 release is not to be missed!
Customer Reviews:
simply a masterpiece.......2005-08-19
Frogg Café is really shaping their sound closer to excellence with their third album. Their previous effort "Creatures" was also very good but this one simply is a masterpiece.
While the band is mostly compared to The Flower Kings, I think there's more to it in their music. Fusion parts which can be heard very often, the Zappa-esque psychedelic approach, the atonal and sometimes dark melodies not unlike King Crimson and Van Der Graaf Generator, some folky tunes in the best Jethro Tull tradition, and some Yes, Gentle Giant, and Genesis influences and all these combined with great skill are some of the elements what make this album a feast for all retro-proggers. With this album, I'm sure they won't need to hide behind the scene's famous bands anymore, because I think that they are already one of them.
Wait! I'm not finished. The band cleverly incorporates violin, flute, and trumpet into their sound. And these contributions are not like a guest spot. They can be heard throughout the album very often. One thing that caught my ear was that when the violin comes to the front, the music gets some tendencies to master Jean Luc Ponty. But IMHO the trumpet steals the show and is one of the reasons what make this band so fascinating. Does the name "Miles Davis" tell you people something?
This is not pure prog! I'd rather call it as prog/fusion but it's more than that while preserving the prog roots. If you love prog, and have some tendency for fusion and jazz, then this is your album. Highly recommended for any prog rocker!!!

Amazing!!!.......2004-01-31
I dont know what some people are thinking, but this CD is very very good! I was majorly impressed! #3 is by far the best.
You can do better........2003-11-02
The sound engineer for this title should be publicly flogged. As soon as the music started I was diving for the equalizer. Even for dance tracks the bassline is terribly, (almost comically,) overwrought. The first four tracks are a writeoff. A couple of the later ones salvage the CD somewhat (assuming you have your bass dial/knob/bar/etc all the way down,) but with so many good international recordings out there, I'd strongly recommend against this one.
Fun & lively variety of music.......2003-08-03
What a fun album! Some of the songs on this album are fully Latin sounding, others are fully Arabic sounding, and yet others are a kind of mixture of the two sounds. There's even a Eurobeat song on here (I'd say Italian disco but it's sung in French). There is a mixture of styles on here, but nearly all the songs are thoroughly danceable; it's a great party album that pulls you to your feet for festive celebrating!

Very Atmosheric.......2004-11-23
We needed appropriate music for our Halloween costume party which had a Middle Eastern/Egyptian theme to it this year and I lucked onto this disc at Borders. It is not too over the top "ethnic" sounding that can sometimes wear on Western ears, but authentic enough to get a good vibe. The overall effect was very well received, on shufffle play with "Hookah Cafe"and Arkenstones' Adventure Cargo "Echoes of Egypt" offering; the whole thing had the desired effect of creating a very exotic and mysterious mood. Highly Recommended!!!!
Unexpected Happiness.......2004-09-10
I discovered the Cleopatra 2 CD's while browsing at a local Borders. I used the listening station and decided to purchase these CD's based on what I heard. I was not disappointed. The word to describe my feeling after listening to these CD's was, happy. These CD's are just a good world mix. I half expected these CD's to be cheesy, but I was gladly proved wrong. The first disc is the slower of the two, and the second disc can definately be described as techno. I loved them. I brought them home and listened to them twice, because they were that good.
It is my belief that we as Americans just aren't subjected to this kind of music enough. I think these CD's are intelligent, balanced, and just plain fun. They bring a smile to your face. I bet the people compiling these CD's had a lot of fun, too. Do I encourage you to purchase these CD's? Whole heartedly, you will not be disappointed. I think they did a fantastic job. These artists are incredible.

Amazon.com
The exploits of Ian Fleming's British super-agent James Bond have long since become the longest running film series in history, spanning 40 years and counting. Not the least of the cycle's charm has been its music, a body of work that encompasses pop clichés (the twangy guitar of Monty Norman's original "James Bond Theme") and elegant underscores alike. While this collection spans music from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough, decades of various legal entanglements prevented it from becoming the ultimate Bond music anthology. This is more a credible simulation, a newly recorded collection of cues and suites (including music previously unreleased on the original soundtracks) performed by Nic Raine and the City of Prague Symphony Orchestra. With John Barry's lush, ever-evocative scores both forming the core and setting the tone (but also featuring the work of George Martin, David Arnold, Michael Kamen, Bill Conti, and Eric Serra), it's the most comprehensive--if not exactly authentic--collection of Bond music yet attempted. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
almost the perfect James Bond collection.......2005-07-20
this 4 CD box has most of the familiar James Bond compositions.
Still,some tunes are missing(from for instance Thunderball and For Your Eyes Only)and most of the time the attention is on the instrumental version of the title track which is a bit of a shame.And yet,there are too many great pieces on this collection to make it a failure.Alpine Drive,Dawn Raid at Fort Knox,On Her Majesty's Secret Service(every track),Miss Goodhead and so on.All great pieces that not only show the great talent of John Barry but also the great power of James Bond films.Cause when you hear the music,you see the scenes in front of you.
Very much a recommendation to all Bond and Barry fans although sometimes it focusses too much on title songs.The only solution is to buy all separate soundtracks.
Good Collection.......2005-02-24
Very nice packaging and good tracks from the Bond music library make this an anoutstanding item. "From Russia With Love" and "Diamonds Are Forever" contain beautiful and energetic renditions. The John Barry music is handled quite well. I didn't real care for the David Arnold selections. "The World Is Not Enough" was weak. Overall it is a good collection just the same.
Not excatly what I expected.......2003-04-10
I when I read some of the reviews of this I thought that this was a complete collection of all the originals of the Theme songs of every James Bond movie and remakes done by the Prague Philharmonic of some of the other songs in the various movies. After recieveing this ... I started to listen to it and found out that it was all done by the orchestra. The are very good, but to a point it is not the same thing as owning a disc will all the orignal songs on it. Overall, this good if all the you want is the orchestral versions of most of the songs in the movies or the suites out of some of the movies. To a point these don't compare to the orignals. Keep looking if you want a set with all the orignals songs in it.
The James Bond CD for the John Barry purist?.......2003-01-28
Let's cut to the chase. Nic Raine and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do John Barry's work justice. 90% of this collection is as close as you can get to the original James Bond soundtracks. The other 10% lends itself to some artistic license with respect to the arrangements. Most notable is the main theme to Goldfinger. Also Nic slips in a few previously unreleased tracks. You will find these on the On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Golden Eye tracks. This CD boxed set is definitely made for the Bond soundtrack fan. The die hard John Barry "purist"/ traditionalist may find some of these tracks questionable at first, but after a few times Nic Raine's artistic license gives a fresh perspective to the familiar Bond/ Barry themes. The only reservation I have with this CD set is with some of selections that are performed. For instance, from Goldfinger, "Dawn Raid At Fort Knox" was a poor selection considering the selection available on that particular soundtrack. The most famous 007 soundtrack of all I dare say. Overall Nic hits the mark, and this CD set is a tribute to Barry's (as well as, George Martin's, Marvin Hamlish's, and Bill Conti's and David Arnold's) work. It's all here in one collection. I am a die-hard Bond soundtrack fan, and to the casual soundtrack fan I say this CD is set all you need to experience the Bond music legacy. To those who are hard core 007 soundtrack fans ...this is a FANTASTIC "addition" to your collection. This has to be the BEST (and probably the only) 007 "soundtrack" compilation. Whereas all the others feature the "main themes" from the Bond films as originally recorded, this one truly gives you the Bond experience.
Very enjoyable with most of the BOND music you'd want........2002-12-08
This is similar but more comprehensive than another BOND collection on one CD by the City of Prague Philharmonic. These are good renditions but clearly not the orginals. I must ask if the Prague Philharmonic does not own a harp? It is glaringly missing in the Goldfinger themes and i am sure on others. That harp is an exciting and beautiful touch to the wonderful GOLDFINGER theme and its absents is unfortuneatly very noticeable. Also some of the other themes can even sound muzaky if thats a word(elevator music)
It gets 3 solid stars good collection yet defineatly something is lacking.
