The Christmas Album: Vienna Boy Choir.......2007-01-10
When in Vienna we attending a Boy Choir concert.
Gave an album to each set of grandchildren. They loved it.

THE BEST VIENNA BOYS CHOIR CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!.......2005-06-01
This wonderful collection of Christmas music is especially good! Many pieces are very well known standards, and have been rewritten in ways that keep the music fresh, interesting and new! Every holiday season (and even throughout the year) this CD is played by our family quite a bit! [I may be a little biased, since my 12 year old son from Cincinnati, OH is one of the boys singing in most of the songs!] It is awesome!!

Very good c.d........2006-01-30
Different jacket cover than amazon pictures. It has green
Christmas lights instead of a group of people going to a Church.
But same music as the one that amazon advertises. Very good recording.

This One You Have To Decide For Yourself.......2003-12-22
Merry Christmas, everyone! Here's a Christmas CD from the male vocal ensemble The Gents, from the Netherlands. It's full of terrific performances and slick Hollywood-type arrangements; Sammy Kahn's Let it Snow is representative of the disc itself. But I have to admit, this is definitely not everyone's cup of tea--listen to what Amazon have provided for White Christmas and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, and judge on that basis. What the Gents, their arrangers and backing ensembles have done on this disc they've done tremendously well, there's no mistake about that. But some people just don't like the sound of a male alto. Did you find those selections exalting, or weird? If the former, this is the disc for you. If the latter, avoid this one entirely. Most of the pieces on the disc are Christmas standards of the sort you might find on a Barbra Streisand Holiday special-Winter Wonderland, Sleigh Ride, White Christmas and the like. The standards are spiced with a few more recent pieces and some quite old ones in modern dress. Howard Blake's Walking in the Air, which you might know from The Snowman, is one of the best tracks, where the use of the male alto probably works for everyone, since the song is meant for a boy soprano.
The backing players are the Rubens String Quartet, the Marimba Quartet Carrfour, and Maxkym Minakov, all of whom do a terrific job. There's only one real miscue on the CD for me, and that's the weird arrangement of Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime. I think it's a pretty horrid song in the first place-definitely not McCartney's best work-and the a cappella arrangement is a valiant effort but just seems a little nuts. Hopefully you'll find it full of seasonal humor, but I'm more of a Scrouge about it. My favorite is the arrangement of Gaudete Christus est natus, from the 1400's. The Gents start straight, but gradually add the marimba quartet for a wonderfully rich sound, complemented by new counterpoints and body percussion!

Magical recording.......2003-09-08
As a former resident of Philadelphia, this organ has always had a special place in my heart. I am an organist, and during my four years in the City of Brotherly Love, I would journey often to Lord & Taylor to hear this magical instrument come alive. I heard Frederick Hohman perform there, as well as Carlo Curley. I still treasure the recordings that Keith Chapman made. The Chapman recordings are wonderful, though the sound is often from ideal.
In this Dorian recording, Peter Richard Conte and the Dorian engineers have accomplished the impossible. The recorded sound is flawless. It is almost as if one is actually there, though one happily does miss the sound of cash registers, theft prevention devices (the Theif 16', as one organist called it), and the noise of the store. Also, with the exception of concerts, the organist cannot play anywhere near to full organ, because that would disrupt the activities of commerce. One can only imagine the complexities involved in recording an organ which is scattered over several stories and contains nearly 30,000 pipes. The organ has been restored to most of its former glory, and one is delighted to know that Lord & Taylor have taken an active role in keeping up this magnificent instrument.
In listening to these recordings, it is easy to forget that it is actually an organ playing. Conte's transcriptions are close to the spirit of the originals. This is a stunning achievement, and I reccommend this recording to all, even those who don't like organ music.
The first commercial recording of the Wanamaker..........2003-05-17
...Grand Court Organ in nearly 40 years...
How well I remember that earlier recording of nearly 40 years ago! On the Command Classics label founded by Enoch Light, it featured Virgil Fox playing organ transcriptions much like the ones on this new "Magic" release. At the time of its release, I lived close enough to New York City to be a regular late-night listener to Bill Watson's WNCN show, "Listening with Watson."
Bill Watson was nothing if not an iconoclast in the field of classical music broadcasting. If he liked something, REALLY liked something, one could expect him to "play it again, Bill." So, one spring evening in 1965, when he came upon that Virgil Fox recording of the Wanamaker Grand Court Organ, he played Fox's transcription of Bach's "Komm Süsser Tod" (Come, Sweet Death). Twice. And I was simply transported into a realm of sonic bliss, literally reduced to tears by its ethereal beauty (as had the original audience been in 1939, when he premiered the transcription at a celebrated concert in the John Wanamaker [Philadelphia] store).
I literally wore out the first two LP copies of that release, managing to hold on to the third copy to this day (acquired before Light sold off the Command Classics label and catalogue to MCA Records, a much larger label that turned out to be a not-so-good steward of what at the time had been an excellent series of titles). A number of years later (somewhere toward the end of the first decade of CDs), licensed rights to the album were acquired by Bainbridge Records, who released a pretty good - but not perfect - transfer of the LP on CD.
Fast forward to 2001. The John Wanamaker flagship Philadelphia store, complete with Grand Court Organ, has long since been acquired by Lord & Taylor. By 1989, Lord & Taylor determined that this national treasure of an instrument was in such a state of disrepair that it required a "top to bottom" restoration. By the spring of 2001, more than enough of the restoration had been completed such that a new recording, representing its current state, would not misprepresent the instrument's true capabilities. (Restoration, in the meantime, is ongoing.) It is decided, by someone, and wisely so, that the instrument is worthy of being recorded by a label dedicated to fine recordings of pipe organs. Such a label is Dorian, one of a small handful of labels which specialize in pipe organ recordings of high quality.
This "Magic" release is the outcome of those years of effort. And a splendid release it is. The Wanamaker organ's current organist, Peter Richard Conte, is made very much in the "Virgil Fox mold" in terms of his transcriptions of works originally meant for other instruments and ensembles, including, of course, full symphonic orchestras.
The transcriptions on this release reflect that commonality of interests. Like Fox's recording back then, Conte's recording contains some fine transcriptions of orchestral Wagner and Elgar, as well as Mussorgsky, Dukas and Nicolai. Of all of these, perhaps the transcription of Mussorgsky's "Night on the Bare Mountain" best demonstrates the "symphonic" capabilities of this finest of "grand civic organs": the pipe organ representations of the various orchestral choirs are quite uncanny.
"Pride of place," though, must go to the final track on this release: Conte's transcription of the "Nimrod" variation of Elgar's "Enigma Variations." In its hushed lushness, it is as close as one can come to Fox's "Komm Süsser Tod" transcription without actually duplicating it. Like the Bach work on Fox's album, it is the one piece that easily justifies having this splendid album.
The organ sounds better than ever (at least, so far as this unrepentent pipe organ junkie is concerned). The technical steps required to achieve the recording are well-documented in a huge 60-page booklet (which also documents the history of the organ, and "grand civic organs" in America, with about 20 pages dedicated to simply describing the complement of pipes, stops and console). Fair warning, though: You'd better have a pretty good sound system if you wish to hear the full range of tones and dynamics of which this instrument is capable!
Despite the steps taken to record these works during "store closed" time in the wee small hours of the morning, there is a slight audible hiss in the background. I had earlier heard this hiss on the Bainbridge CD transfer of the Fox album, and had tossed it off as simply "a bad transfer." But the hiss is real, despite these modern-technology efforts of Dorian, and I think I know what it is (even though it doesn't seem to be mentioned in that huge booklet): It is nothing more (nor less) than the air-handling equipment needed to supply air to the near-30,000 pipes of the world's largest pipe organ. It adds a touch of realism, a reminder, that this instrument represents the apogee of the organ-builders' art. (I've since gone back to that Bainbridge transfer with an improved sense of respect, realizing that we can't have one [the sound of this magnificent instrument] without the other [the air-handling that is part and parcel of its making].)
Some small amount of restoration still remains, and it is clear from the notes that Lord & Taylor is fully committed to bringing the instrument back to a level that represents its full glory. What better way to celebrate that completion than to have Conte record, again on the Dorian label, the one piece of Fox's that bowled so many people over and reduced them to puddles on the floor: Bach's "Komm Süsser Tod." I can't wait.
Really, I just can't.

A long awaited return to the spotlight.......2002-11-23
Living in Southwest New Jersey, less than a hour from the unique instrument, I have experienced this instrument first hand for many years.
Unfortunately, first hand was the only satisfactory way to experience it. Only a few recordings have ever been made. There is an important recording with Virgil Fox from the early 1960's, and some private label recordings with Keith Chapman, the Wanamaker Organist until his death in the 1980's. Neither were very satisfactory sonically speaking.
So this sparkling clear digital recording made after business hours, is a welcome gift for organ lovers all over the world.
Dorian Records deserves a great deal of the credit, but the executives of Lord & Taylor deserve a standing ovation. As the booklet with the recording indicates, the organ has been treated as a white elephant for years. Not long after Lord & Taylor acquired the store they arranged a 90th anniversary concert for the instrument during store hours (a first in over a half century!) I was there, and so were the L & T executives! There enthusiasm and pride were unfeigned, and their money and cooperation since have shown it. They have cooperated with the volunteer organization which oversees and promotes the restoration and concertizing on the instrument. As the booklet indicates, architectural changes were made to enhance the organ's sound, and the famous Sound & Light Holiday show in the Grand Court has been modified to allow the organ to remain visible (and audible) during the Christmas season.
You should buy this recording. It is wonderful on its own merits. But you should also buy it to encourage and support all the people who are working to restore this Emperor of Instrument to its Imperial glory.
And oh yes, if you really want to find out just how good this recording is. Come to Lord & Taylor's (right next door to City Hall) in Philadelphia, any day Monday through Saturday at 11:15 and 5:15pm, and you can hear it for yourself. Just as Philadelphians have for over 90 years!
Nimrod alone.......2002-01-21
I'm buying this recording today because of the Nimrod track. Just heard it on the radio and this purchase will be worthwhile if all the rest of the music is junk. What a way to buy a CD--for one track.
Super Music merges with Super Sonics.......2001-12-21
MAGIC, the new album on the Dorian label featuring organist Peter Richard Conte performing on the largest symphonic pipe organ in the world, the Wanamaker organ in the Grand Court of Lord & Taylor in Philadelphia is a triumph for music lovers and audiophiles alike.And MAGIC it certainly is. If your only contact with pipe organ music was the arthritic old spinster who slogged her way through music in church, then this will transform you and your thinking forever. The CD contains six orchestral transcriptions, four of which were created by Peter Richard Conte himself. The album begins with a hair raising performance of Mussorgsky's Night On Bare Mountain. This rendition will conjure up every image you may remember from Fantasia and some new ones as well. Your stereo system will produce a musical frequency range you have never heard before in such detail. The latest state of the art recording equipment was used to capture the sounds of this organ, which occupies four floors of the Lord & Taylor store; the music filling the 140' high space. The CD comes packaged with a 56 page booklet which in and of itself would be worth the price of the album.
Wagner's Valkyries come to life with Wotan's Farewell and Magic Fire Music plus four other selections: The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Dukas, the Overture to The Merry Wives of Windsor by Nicolai, the Cockaigne Overture of Elgar, and ending with a hypnotizing performance of Elgar's Nimrod.
This is a must-have CD. The sonics and musicianship are absolutely the finest I have ever heard captured of a pipe organ recording and I should know, I am an organist and I own several hundred pipe organ CD's. After the first listening you will be delirious in eager anticipation of a second CD exploiting the talents of Peter Richard Conte and the awesome range of this instrument. If you are not already a fan of the pipe organ, then this disc will assuredly convert you into one. I have listened to my copy of MAGIC nearly every day since I received it and discover that I experience new levels of musical enlightenment with each playing. If you are an audiophile you will have all your friends covetously envious as you are able to cause your living room furniture to move around from the thunderous 16 Hz pedal notes. Whatever your motivation, rush to buy this album so you, too, can let this musical magnificence wash over you. There is no way you will be disappointed in this recording. I would rate it ten stars (out of five) if I could.
