A really Fine Romance.......2007-07-05

It doesn't get any better than these two playing these guys! Some of it was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Use your imagination... It's all just swell.

A Musical Treat.......2006-01-08

"The true mission of the violin is to imitate the accents of the human voice, a noble mission that has earned for the violin the glory of being called the king of instruments." ~ Charles-Auguste De Bériot ~

Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grapelli together had made some of the most beautiful music ever-recorded. And I believe that this is one of the many successful albums they recorded together. In this recording, both violinists have showed their excellent musicianship and interpretative eloquence as well, making it one of my most cherished CDs from my collection.

These are the main ingredients of a perfectly-made CD for your listening pleasure: mix violins, piano, bass and drums together, combine two terrific violinists, season with the best melodies in the 20s, 30s and 40s from Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart. Add the musical talents of Nelson Riddle, Max Harris, Martin Taylor, Eddie Tripp, Alan Clare and the rest of the studio musicians. Now all you have to do is to sit back, relax and savor these stunning melodies coming from your CD player. Listen to it in full-volume and fill your music room with the sheer beauty of these classics.

One of my favorite musical instruments is violin. With its four strings, it gives a whole wide range of musical versatility and I simply love the fascinating sound it produces.

My personal highlights are the best tunes from Jerome Kern - "The Way You Look Tonight" (Nelson Riddle arranged this particular track and conducted the Woodwind and Brass section), "A Fine Romance," "Pick Yourself Up," "Why Do I Love You?" and "All The Things You Are."

My choices from Irving Berlin's gems are - "Isn't It A Lovely Day?" featuring the great artistry of Nelson Riddle in arranging and conducting, "Cheek To Cheek" and "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm."

The Cole Porter repertoire represented his musical sophistication in "Night And Day," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Just One Of Those Things."

The choice cuts from the talented and creative team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are "My Funny Valentine" and "Thou Swell."

Listening to this CD is so delectable and equivalent to having my favorite dessert - be it Tiramisu, New York Cheesecake, Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Soufflé, Créme Brulee, Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate-Coated Strawberries! ;)

A musical treat.

Elly Ameling now more available .......2007-03-07

I had a 33 rpm album of Elly Ameling singing Schubert lieder accompanied by piano and clarinet at times. It was one of my all time favorite albums so I have been disappointed that I have not been able to find it anywhere on CD.

Now I can just buy this excellent collection. So much music in one place! Since I confess that I am far from an expert on the rest of her records, I look forward to hearing her sing many other styles and composers.

I think it is silly to criticize her for not singing Wagner, for example, since her version of many songs, especially lieder, are nothing short of sublime. I would like to hear how many Wagnerians sing Schubert or Mozart.

I doubt if they could approach the skill and soul with which Elly Ameling sings lieder.

Delight in every note.......2006-03-10

To speak as briefly as possible about this superb collection from an equally superb singer, what can I say but that Ms Ameling possessed a voice that shone with radiant warmth and star-like shimmer? And unlike many another light lyric soprano, Elly Ameling was possessed of a very high standard of musicianship, considerable intelligence, and a sort of immediate charm that captivates the listener.

So many of her recordings have still to be released on CD, but this 5CD-set goes some way towards remedying the situation. The repertoire spans a wide variety - French mèlodies, Lieder, light-hearted "sentimental" songs, Bach, etc. - and in each piece, Ms Ameling shows that quality of pearl-like beauty. It is a beauty which is also extremely pretty - a beauty of voice that is never overbearing and over-ripe, but perfectly blossoming upon the tree of inspiration.

I recommend this set unequivocally. It truly is sheer delight.

While they last..........2005-05-17

Elly Ameling held the quiet stage for recitals of great artistry and dignity for several decades and sadly most of the enormously successful CDs of her long career output are now unavailable. For those who have little access to the documentation of this very special artist, this box set is a must. It is a compilation of many of her recordings with differing accompanists, conductors, orchestras and composers. And while not all of the choices for inclusion here would be considered her greatest moments, there are enough works that sustain the warm memories of the little Dutch hausfrau who quietly and simply paid homage to composers with her clear and intelligent musicianship and radiant voice.

Ameling was known to schedule recitals of Schubert cycles and songs and in the afterglow of her performance answer the demand for curtain calls with additional Schubert melodies: she gifted her audience with the dignity of honoring a composer's works by maintaining the focus on that composer rather than milk the audience with the usual encore applause-getting favorites. And special moments such as quietly and pensively strolling through the orchestra during the Mahler 4th symphony to arrive at front stage, unapplauded, just in time for the opening line of her singing - those simple homage to composers and collaborators made her selfless manner endearing to audiences.

Despite the fact that Ameling's voice was on the small side she was always able to muster the projection to carry her message solidly in context with an orchestra. Yes, other more famous singers have recorded Ravel's quintessentially French SHEHERAZADE, but few have the perfection of diction and aura of mystery that Ameling maintained. Whether singing with piano or orchestra, or interpreting Bach, Mozart, Handel, and Vivaldi with the same degree of involvement as Brahms and Schumann and Schubert, Elly Ameling spanned a career that engendered passionate commitment from her fans. And this boxed set is a pocket full of memories to be treasured. Buy it before this too becomes unavailable. Grady Harp, May 05

Treasures From a Treasure.......2004-09-25

Treasures from a Treasure.

Ameling, one of the world's most beloved recitalists is captured here in a 5 CD collection offering some of her most beautiful recordings of song. While we are used to her perfection in songs of Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Faure and Hahn, an added joy is her "pop" side, tackling - without a whiff of pretension, Porter, Kern, Gershwin, Ellington, et al.

What an absolute joy it is listening to this amazing artist sing these songs with an almost uncanny natural ease. There is no resorting to a "pop" voice and yet most of these pop standards songs sound as though they could have been written for her. Clean attacks, sometimes a bit of the pop technique of hanging on to a consonant longer than a classical artist normally would shows an appreciation and understanding of the style. Still, there is never once a compromise of her vocal beauty.

I like the way the songs have been arranged for her voice in that she sort of sings them clean, unaffected in the first half and then lets loose and kinda "swings" with it adding embellishments but never really changing her voice (Price, von Stade and other favorite singers of mine seem to have always added a breathy quality to much of their crossover material.)

Ameling doesn't resort to trying to "let her hair down" or get down and dirty, but rather the honest with which she approaches every one of these songs shows how much she enjoys singing them and her style is as refreshing as stumbling onto a cool spring on a sweltering summer's afternoon. A wonderful surprise.

More than fully earned praise for an exceptional singer........2003-07-15

As I had the privilige of hearing this outstanding Lied-singer during her long career in Holland and being the proud possessor of almost all her recordings, I cannot but fully agree with the professional and joyful review of Mr. Robert Holliston from Victoria, B.C. Canada.
Yes, it is unbelievable that of about the 150 recordings Mrs. Ameling made during her long career (for the greater part of course on the 'oldfashioned' LP's, as well as the innumerable Dutch live-recorded radio-concerts), so few CD's have been released.
Speaking of tradition: it was the page-turner of the Wigmore Hall in London who told Mrs. Ameling after her first recital in this hall, that she reminded him of Elisabeth Schumann. (And he certainly didn't mean her looks only!)
For those who are eager to hear her singing Ravel's Shéhérazade (just one example of stirring imagination combined with her Art of Singing) I can tell you that Philips released a 2-box CD of this work in 1999, combined with Debussy's La Damoiselle élue and a compilation of French mélodies, i.e. Debussy, Fauré, Duparc, Satie. One of the gems is Caplet's Le Corbeau et le Renard which even make children, who know the fables of La Fontaine, revel in the singing of the quarrelsome birds....
Her brilliant accompanyist is Rudolf Jansen. Let us cherish great artists in their art!

Promises Promises..........2005-02-22

I bought this album prior to See Through This and Leave, and have to say that I much prefer it to its predecessor. Kick Up the Flames.. is a fine album from start to end.

The album may feel a bit "proggy" for some, with its extended bass and synth sections, but don't let this put you off; this album rocks. The lead singer's voice is very reminiscent of Liam Gallagher, and, in my opinion, this album shows the direction Oasis *should* have taken following Definitely Maybe.

Beware, if you have a sub-woofer, turn it down before putting this on - I've blown two of the blighters on this album now (New Toys and Talking to a Brick Wall have lots of low level bass that makes them go loon).

One of the things I particularly like about this album is its non-linearity, every track seems to suddenly twist into a different direction - for example Talking to a Brick Wall initially seems slow and plodding, only to break out into a frenzy, Same Mistakes starts almost like a lullaby, but ends in a manic haze of angst, and Into My Arms, a beautiful love song, ends in a plethora of industrial noise.

The only track I can easily miss out on is In Your Prime, it just doesn't seem to go anywhere.

The majority of this album is a high point, but I am particularly fond of Same Mistakes, Promises Promises, Blind Pilots and Written Apology.

It may not be to everyone's tastes, but it certainly works for me. Give it a whirl...

One of the best albums of the year..........2004-09-27

This was one of those CDs I was recommended and that I actually picked up without any looking into. I can't even say how ecstastic I am that I decided to just go ahead and get it.

With an atmospheric sound that pulls you into the music and refuses to let you play it as mere background noise, Kick Up The Fire, And Let The Flames Break Loose stands out in a whole array of albums that have been channeling back to the 80s. "New Toys" shines with a very Radiohead-esque sound, "Talking to a Brick Wall" is a personal favorite, while "Music Box" is pure brilliance.

I'm still listening to the CD and disovering more and more how much I like it; some of the guitar riffs leave you stunned because of how they hit you at the least expected times and the although much experimentation can be seen on the editing side, the CD benefits from the less-refined feel.

Where is the fire? Where are the flames? This fizzled........2004-09-27

I saw the band life and was anxious to hear their album. I was very dissappointed. There are many unnecessarily long segments with keyboards pointlessly puttering along. The songs are occassionally catchy but that feeling is invariably squashed by awkward stops and starts. The performances lack any passion or grit. They intrigued live; I hope they go back to the studio drawing board.

One of the best albums of 2003 finally released in the US.......2004-05-08

I could hardly believe that this album actually was released in th US, much to my surprise I see this at my local record store (even the latest Muse album has gotten a domestic released) well anyways no matter how late it is, this is just a phenomenal record. After the first album you could see the potential in these guys but I didnt expect them to completely blow me away like they did with this album. Every single song on here is great, not a weak link. The opener "the same mistakes" starts off the album on a very strong foot and never lets down until the end of the 10 minute final track. The sheer violence in some of the song structures (music box for example) is remarkable, and the whole album shows a depth that is rarely found in music today as well as a lush sonic soundscape throughout the album. I cant reccomend this enough. 5 stars out of 5

They are still playing the song.......2004-04-23

I saw this band at the recent CMJ festival. It was their first New York City performance. They were intent on making an impression. They came off at times like a shoegazer band that occasionally wanted to be as heavy as Nine Inch Nails. When you listen to the records, they take you on a strange journey that is unpredictable. Songs like the mellow "The Same Mistakes" is a far cry from the heavy metal of "Promises, Promises." Singer Ben Gautrey recalls the vocal stylings of Liam Gallagher, but they probably sound more like The Who than Oasis. Other songs get more into the electronic sounds of the Warp Label and Radiohead's music. This record has already succeeded in the UK. Many indie kids in America follow the British Magazines like dogs to vomit. Whether this more progressive sound will catch on in the States is debatable. People seem pretty happy reliving the Britpop era of 1994-95. The Coopers dare to move on to the next thing.

Funky Kupka Side Project.......2004-09-27

With all of the Tower of Power fans out there I'm surprised I'm writing the first review. If you are a TOP complete-ist you will definitely want to get this CD. Songs, 1,3,5,6,7,9 and 11 are funky enought to satisfy the most ardent of TOP fans. The lead singers include, Glenn Walters, Huey Lewis (of the News), Bill Champlin (of the Sons of Champlin and Chicago) and others. Bill Champlin's talents are wasted in Chicago. His chops are so funky on "Color Me Gone" I had to refer to the liner notes to verify it was him singing. Huey Lewis is a natural in the heavy R&B funk setting that the TOP horns lay down (don't forget, the TOP horn appeared on early Huey Lewis and the News albums). As for the musicians, Mic Gillette, Rocco Prestia, Lenny Pickett, David Garibaldi and Jeff Tamlier, all longtime TOP members, are core members of the Strokeland Superband. This would have earned five stars but the slow songs are predictable with nothing happening musically. Overall a strong effort. I hope Kupka and the boys plan on more.

Stereolab fans, take note.......2007-01-10

Another spin-off from Stereolab, with less in common with its source than Laeticia's side-project Monade (Which is also worth a listen, particularly "A Few Steps More"). This one is from their bassist, Simon Johns, and draws a bit from Stereolab's hypnotic riffing style, but new vocalist Mary Hampton has a cleaner, lighter soprano voice...and I'd say this stands on its own merits. Fans of Adventures in Stereo might find it familiar territory, though the song structures are generally more complex and elaborated upon. Recommended. "Trinity Neon", their initial effort, isn't as strong, a band finding its footing; Half of its tracks are instrumentals, and as with Monade, not up to its sophomore effort. Those who love "Blow It Up" and Stereolab completists may want to check it out.

One of the best big band recordings .......2006-11-06

Eric used to play the lead trumpet in the Buddy Rich Band. You can see him playing in Buddy's band in DVD titled Channel One Suite - Buddy Rich and his band which was recorded in the early 80's if you are interested. He is now located in Japan and has already given a lot of positive influence on Japanese jazz musicians. In this album, he had all young talented Japanese jazz players line up and created a wonderful album. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with this album. Please purchase his second album titled 'Times Square - Live at STB139' and you will like it as well.

Some of the best jazz money can buy..........2001-12-30

This has to be he greatest jazz album I have ever listened to--I like all of the songs. It even has Eric Miyashiro's version of the national anthem!

A Must Have !!!.......2001-06-06

This is the second time I am writing a review for this album, but it is worth it. I assume my first review got lost 'in the mail' because I have waited the 5 - 7 business days for it to be posted and I ain't seeing it. Anyways, on to the matter at hand. This CD is fantastic. This might be the CD where I find out that you can actually wear out a CD. Eric is a powerful and artistic trumpet player. The band is tight and the recording quality is excellent. Please do not let the price scare you away. Imagine how many CDs you have bought where the majority of the material was a let down. This isn't one of those. You won't be disappointed if you appreciate energetic, screamin' big band. I am anxiously awaiting CD # 2 from this guy.

A Must Have !!!!!!.......2001-05-31

This CD is great from beginning to end. This is one of those rare CDs where you leave it in your changer and wear it out. And better yet, the quality of the recording is as good as the music and musicianship itself. If you appreciate big band/jazz and some powerful lead trumpet playing, you got to have this. You won't be disappointed. This is testosterone driven trumpet playing that sizzles - none of that squeaky, pinched, weak crap. I can't wait till the next album. Songs include A Night in Tunisia, Get It On, and a bunch of swingin'/smokin' originals. I know I sound like a salesman working for Miyashiro, but thats not the case. If there were sound bytes available on this site, you would hear what I am talking about. Come on Eric, I am waiting for the next one. Do have at it.......

June Havoc sings third-rate Cole Porter score.......2005-04-13

MEXICAN HAYRIDE isn't Cole Porter's finest hour (KISS ME KATE is most definitely his masterpiece) nontheless this score offers some charms. June Havoc, in one of her rare recorded musical theatre roles, is dynamite with "There Must Be Someone for Me". "Abracadabra" is quite good too. Corrina Mura and her lush operatic voice suits the intriguing "Sing to Me, Guitar". MEXICAN HAYRIDE opened on Broadway in 1944 and ran for a solid 481 performances (Havoc left the show early to take the lead in the musical version of SADIE THOMPSON).

Decca Broadway has filled out the CD with `Cole Porter Songs Sung by Mary Martin', an early album of Miss Mary which features her incantory renditions of "I Get a Kick Out of You", "Let's Do It" and a recreation of her star-making number "My Heart Belongs to Daddy".

Cole Porter songs from a forgotten hit........2004-09-29

Cole Porter's 1944 Broadway hit MEXICAN HAYRIDE was pretty much forgotten as soon as it closed. Decca's mini-album covered eight of the hit songs by stars June Havoc, Wilbur Evans and Corrina Mura. For some reason teh show's comic lead Bobby Clark was not invited to the recording sessions. His big number "Count Your Blessings" is sung here as a solo by June Havoc, and "Girls" is sung here by Wilbur Evans. (Such changes were common in the early days of original cast recordings.) To fill out this short selection Decca has included a rare album of Mary Martin sining Cole Porter. All in all a worthwhile package though hardly essential listening.

Customer Reviews:

A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

Album Description

Singer/songwriter Matthew Camirand is a man with a diverse rock 'n' roll history, as a former member of The Black Halos and currently the bassist in Black Mountain. Blood Meridian's debut contains twelve stunningly diverse tracks for days when the skies are slate-grey and Jim Beam is the only friend worth turning to. "In the tradition of landmarks like The Gun Club's 'Fire Of Love', Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds' 'Tender Prey', and Neil Young's 'On The Beach', 'Kick Up The Dust' defies easy categorization" - Popmatters.com.

Stunning.......2006-11-10

I'm not great at putting opinions into words so this will be brief. This album is utterly amazing. Very emotional and biting, not in an "Emo" sense like Sunny Day Real Estate but Hank Williams/Jeffrey Lee Pierce Emo. Immerse yourself now.
