This serenata (or 'serenade'), follows a love story for the ages of lovers from different worlds, loyal to their countries, but more loyal to each others love. Founded in 1998 by harpsichordist and conductor Matthew Dirst, ARS LYRICA HOUSTON has begun to make a name ...             Respighi: The Pines of Rome; The Fountains of Rome; Roman Festivals15 reviews Ottorino Respighi, Charles Dutoit, ... Decca, 1990 The Ultimate Roman Trilogy Well, what can I say? Charles Dutoit's rendition of Respighi's Roman Trilogy ranks among the finest. The orchestral emotions give out a spine-tingling sensation. The sound quality is beyond excellent. Tension is high and tedium is low. I'd have to say congratulations to Decca/London for giving us this fabulous creation. Pini di Roma: I first heard this in the movie Fantasia 2000, and I just ...             Respighi: Pines of Rome; The Birds; Fountains of Rome9 reviews Ottorino Respighi, Louis Lane, ... Telarc, 2002 Sparkling, scintillating brilliance . . . chiaroscuro beauty This review applies to the works -Pines of Rome-, -The Birds-, and -Fountains of Rome- performed by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Louis Lane on Telarc. Listening and enjoyment and enthusiasm are all subjective elements which can't be "quantified" for everyone's satisfaction. I can only say that I have "perfectionist" ears and eyes, so I have real trouble finding personally ...             The Silk Road: A Musical Caravan10 reviews Afghan / Tajik Traditional, Armenian Traditional, ... Smithsonian Folkways, 2002 Northern Exposure This anthology is an outstanding survey of the northern section of the so-called Silk Road, taking us from Turkey, Azerbaijan,and Iran, through Uzbekistan, southern Siberia, China, and finally to Japan, but not in order, as the CD set is organized instead by category of musical function and the localities seem random. Although there are significant gaps in the styles, and I particularly miss the ...             Homage Au Passe4 reviews Pine Leaf Boys Lionsgate Records, 2009 love it This is the third pine leaf boys cd I own and I love all 3 of them. I highly recommend if you like traditional cajun music.             Gilbert & Sullivan - Highlights from The Mikado, The Pirates of Penzance, H.M.S. Pinafore, The Yeomen of the ...8 reviews Nicholas Folwell, Arthur Sullivan, ... Telarc, 1996 The Best Of Gilbert And Sullivan At the end of the 19th century (1870's, 80's and 90's) the compatible duo of librettist and composer Gilbert and Sullivan popularized the pre-Broadway entertainment of Savoy opera. These were light operas or operettas whose content was satire and comedy, full of bouncy melodies and beautiful singing, highly entertaining theatrical works staged at London's Savoy theatre. Gilbert and Sullivan did ...             The Complete Piano Music of Scott Joplin [Box Set]21 reviews Scott Joplin, Scott and Daniels, Charles N. Joplin, ... Compendia, 1997 Great Deal on Great Music We love this collection and it came at such a reasonable price. Our ten month old also seems to enjoy it, especially "Maple Leaf Rag".             Tremolo4 reviews The Pines Red House, 2009 Amazing, beautiful music! Rarely does a band sound as good on a cd as they do live....this band is an exception. I can't say enough good things about their music. From the music to the lyrics, they are an all around great band. I highly advise you listen and enjoy!             Respighi: Pines of Rome, etc15 reviews Claude Debussy, Ottorino Respighi, ... RCA, 1995 Only this Respighi and nothing else. Fritz Reiner surprises me here, despite his infamous reputation of being a tyranical, manipulative conductor whom his Chicago musicians had a hard time working with. That is because his handling of Respighi's Pines and Fountains of Rome are one of the finest recordings I've ever heard. There are the usual trademarks of precise and exciting playing, as demonstrated by the piece, pines by Villa ...             Icons Among Us: Jazz in the Present Tense3 reviews Ravi Coltrane, Bill Frisell IndiePix Films, 2010 visually stunning jazz documentary This is a beautifully filmed documentary that captures the energy, improvisational spirit, and daring attitude of today's jazz musicians. The film shows live jazz being made in a variety of venues and reveals the breadth of the art form - from small "serious" jazz clubs to massive festivals to concert halls to basements, recording studios, front porches, computer labs, etc. You gotta respect the ...             Tangled in the Pines17 reviews BR5-49 Dualtone Music Group, 2004 A Breath of Fresh Pine-scented Air! I read about this group in a local music rag and figured I'd take a taste. What a treat! BR5-49 is real straight-ahead country/rockabilly without any pretentions! Nice, clean uncluttered production, and top notch songwriting! They prove that even without a Brian Setzer (who I love, by the way), you can put together a really happening rockabilly band. I'd love to see them live.             Fantasia 2000: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack46 reviews Various Artists Walt Disney Records, 1999 Fantastic! My favorite piece of music ever is "Rhapsody in Blue" and I've managed to collect quite a few versions of it over the years. This is the absolute best recording of "Rhapsody in Blue" I have ever heard! I'm listening to it on a constant loop tonight. The entire record is great as is the other soundtrack from "Fantasia." The movie is a wonderful way to get kids exposed to classical music without ...             The Saddle Club - Adventures at Pine Hollow35 reviews Keenan Macwilliam, Sophie Bennett Warner Home Video, 2002 The Saddle Club - Adventures at Pine Hollow Excellent movie! My grandchildren love it, even the 4 yr old. I intend on buying more of the series. The story line is one of happiness and sadness, but it is done in such a way that it is beautiful. I recommend it!             Peter, Paul and Mary: The Solo Recordings (1971-72)10 reviews Rhino, 2008 Title is available on-line As of 6-October-2009, this title can be ordered on Barnes & Noble's website for about $25.50. I am very much looking forward to receiving this exciting release and will honor Mary Travers' memory by enjoying her solo work.             Pines of Rome / Fountains of Rome / Roman Festival8 reviews Respighi, Muti, ... Angel Records, 1990 Different views from different publications Riccardo Muti's recording of Respighi's "Roman Trilogy" with the Phildelphia Orchestra has had different views from different publications over the years. A 1986 review in STEREO REVIEW referred to Muti's recording as "Spectacular", but a 1996 AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE review called it "over-rated, and a recording with no real bass" (referring to the engineering). I tend to view it in a more ...             Alligator in the Elevator12 reviews Rick Charette Pine Point, 1998 Rick Charette Who doesn't love Rick Charette? My 2 year old loves this CD...especially the song, "I love mud".             Sousa: Marches; Band of HR Royal Marines; Lt. Col. G.A.C. Hoskins6 reviews John Phillip Sousa, Lt. Col. G. A. C. Hoskins, ... EMI Classics, 2004 Sousa By the Royal Marines This is a great CD re-issue of the Band of the Royal Marines School of Music under Graham Hoskins. This band did a three LP series on Sousa marches some years ago that was better than most on this very well covered topic. Sousa march recordings will always come and go, but some like this stand out more than others. For one, there is nothing like the panache of a Royal Marines band. Their ...             Scottish Fantasies for Violin and Orchestra with Rachel Pine (2 CDs)4 reviews Max Bruch, Pablo de Sarasate, ... Cedille, 2005 really, really good A very pleasant, often lively, evocative and enjoyable set of CDs. The video documentary included in the second CD tells about how Barton Pine studied Celtic/Scottish music before making her recording, and the extra work shows in her ability to render the Bruch as a far lovelier recording than any other violinst has. She finds the tensions, the delicacies and the warmth of this piece. Add to ...             In The Pines: Tar Heel Folk Songs & Fiddle Tunes: Old-Time Music Of North Carolina 1926-19361 review Dock Walsh, Clarence Greene, ... Old Hat Records / Enterprises, 2008 Absolutely required listening for old-time music nuts!! Great disc. The sound quality restoration is A++! No muffled sounding, over "cleaned" tracks here. Neat packaging with a neat book with some short stories about a couple of the murder ballads on the disc. Don`t be afraid of getting this. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!             Respighi: Fontane di Roma, Pini di Roma, etc / Karajan11 reviews Ottorino Respighi, Luigi Boccherini, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1997 Fantastic! I love the Pines of Rome and find this version to be the next best after my other benchmark, Reiner's interpretation with the Chicago Symphony in the 60's. Too many conductors feel the need for excessive speed in the opening of this piece, causing it to feel hurried and rushed rather than triumphant. Karjan and Reiner are able to reign in this tendency. The playing is immaculate as well.
