Battlestar Galactica: Season Three

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Bear Mccreary

Release Date
I've been following the show since its beginnings and have always, when gushing about it to friends, cited the music as one of the key selling points. Now we are into the third album, and its pleasing to be able to say that McCreary has continued to go from strength to strength - building on the strong foundations of the first two scores.

This album has more of a concept theme to it than either of the other two which I find lends it an extra level of depth; weaving the strains of "All Along the Watchtower" (the final track) into the opening few seconds of "Distant Sadness" (the opener) works wonderfully and is a lovely touch. McCreary also developes themes present on the previous albums occasionally, reminding us of characters and ... Read More:

The quality of the accompanyments and the production quality are outstanding. This is undoubtedly the best Welsh Male Voice choir recording in my collection.

Danielle de Niese - Handel Arias

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Danielle de Niese Les Arts Florissants William Christie

Release Date May 12, 2008
This is a very good debut recording from an upcoming soprano. Being a big admirer of Baroque and Handel my expectations were rather high, and it isn't quite as good as the recordings of Ruth Ann Swenson or Magdalena Kozena, but she is still a force to be reckoned with. Although the voice isn't quite as securely agile in this repertoire, she is very good at investing each aria with individuality and character. Still a very enjoyable recording and after having fallen in love with her as Cleopatra I'm looking forward to hearing more from her.

John Williams: Greatest Hits 1969-1999

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: John Williams

Release Date November 01, 1999
Bottom line up front, this is one of the best John Williams compilations available. It has not only memorable movie soundtrack songs, but also his music from the Olympics. While other John Williams music CDs have lots of songs, this one has some of the best variety compared to others.

A Night at the Opera

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Queen

Release Date November 21, 2005
This is the album, that set Queen on their way to the big time and you can see why. It is terribly over rated....though only when you compare it against their other ablums many of which are just as excellent.

Tales from the Norse Legends (Junior Classics)

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Edward Ferrie

Release Date April 06, 1998
I purchased the CD on the back of the two previous reviews. However, I must say I found the CD disappointing on two counts. Firstly, the stories could have been better written, and secondly the narrator's voice lacks resonance, age, depth call it what you will. Compared to several CD's I have purchased here in Germany on Greek Sagas, which score high in these two categories, I can't imagine that I will be listening very much to the CD again.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
from: Walt Disney Records

Release Date July 10, 2006
This is a BRILLIANT soundtrack and just as good as the first with the memorable theme tunes of the organ playing DAVY JONES, the satanic monstrous KRAKEN and the tuneful, boingy theme of the guy we all love JACK SPARROW. There's also plenty more music from the film (which did I forget to mention is AMAZING only second in my opinion to the STAR WARS SAGA) such as the music accompnying the brilliantly choregraphed sword fight on the island leading to the giant wheel and much more. However I agree with the previous review (that you may have read also) that the 'remix', the last track on the CD is absolutely AWFUL and I can't express this enough, its TERRIBLE, its DRAB, ITS THE WORST TRACK OF MUSIC I'VE EVER HEARD and does not fit in with the other music AT ALL or with the Pirates ...

Book of Longing

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Philip Glass, Leonard Cohen

Release Date November 26, 2007
Yes, the lyrics are interesting and some of the settings are nicely done...but the singing? Good grief, it really is terrible stuff. The voices are those of sub-standard musical theatre, formal, careful and well-articulated, and with all the character and feel of cardboard. If you're a Cohen fan, I guess you'll find it simply cringe-making.

Canto Gregoriano - Major Works of Gregorian Chant

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
from: EMI

Release Date March 03, 2008
The double CD is ideal for the person who enjoys the Gregorian chants for the pleasure of hearing the melodies that can be achieved. It is also good for anyone who wants to take away stress, the music is so calming that it will take away the stresses of the day. I would recommend this CD to anyone looking for music to relax by or for the ardent music lover.
