      These 26 selections, recorded from 1904 to 1922, document the work of an important American player and band composer. Despite the trivial nature of most of the music, one can't help listening to Herbert Clarke's playing with respect and growing affection. He was a most elegant player, with a beautiful tone that comes across even in the earliest of these recordings. The showiest pieces, which can be quite dazzling, are still performed with taste and musicianship. This disc is an important sound document, and the transfers from even the earliest of the recordings are surprisingly listenable. Highly recommended to all brass and nostalgia lovers. --Leslie Gerber

      5 out of 5 stars Brilliant playing transcending primitive recording technique.......2001-01-11

      Hearing this CD -- despite the distracting surface noise from the primative acoustic recordings from which this CD was remastered -- I appreciate for the first time the greatness of Clarke as a cornet soloist. If he is not the greatest to date, he is surely one of the giants upon whose shoulders modern virtuosi of the trumpet (which has pretty much replaced the cornet) stand.

      Clarke's sheer artistry in both composition and performance still dazzle and his interpretive ability brings to life some of the 'tear jerkers' of the golden age of popular brass music in a way no modern performance comes close to.

      Although on first hearing one could be very much distracted by the primitive recordings, the brass player soon focuses on Clarke's playing so completely that the the surface noise disappears.

      Every trumpet player and cornetist, more, every brass player and lover of band music, should own a copy.

      5 out of 5 stars The Master of the Cornet.......2001-01-04

      God bless Crystal Records for taking the time to re-issue these extremely rare and valuable recordings from an unfortunately neglected giant in American musical history. Most people today don't realise how famous and influential Mr. Clarke and his peers (Sousa, Pryor et. al.)were on the American musical scene at the beginning of the Twentieth century. It is very important that these recordings (and others from this period, the birth of sound recording) be preserved for future generations.

      As for those who could not stand the "hiss" on these recordings, how spoiled can you be? You simply miss the point of all this. We all know that these records were made during the infancy of the recording industry, and that they didn't have the technology we now have. I find it thrilling to listen to them just as they are. Recorded sound is the closest we have to time travel, and I find it fascinating to listen to these recordings as though I was there when they were first made. And most of all, through the marvel of recorded sound (Mr. Sousa notwithstanding) I can listen today to the greatest cornetist who ever lived, even though he passed away over 50 years ago.

      Hopefully Crystal Records will someday put out an anthology of original Sousa and Pryor Band recordings.

      5 out of 5 stars Clarke is the cornet master!.......2000-08-03

      Herbert Clarke is the finest cornetist the planet has ever seen. The technical brilliance on Carnival is just breathtaking. The sound quality of the recording is little hinderance on the true genius behind this man's playing. Don't let the hiss bother you!!!

      5 out of 5 stars heartbreaking music from a bygone era.......2000-03-22

      These vintage recordings would have been otherwise lost to us--and a great loss at that. Clarke plays so beautifully, esp. those pieces that he wrote. It's notall oom-paa-paa, but music that is deeply affecting and stirring.This is the effect that Wynton Marsalis was going for in his "Carneval." While Marsalis's album is a wonderful tribute, this is the original. A must-have for any serious trumpet player.

      1 out of 5 stars Be careful.......1999-09-14

      Watch out if you want to buy this cd! It's a good cd with Herbert Clarke playing some of his own pieces the way they should be played...but the recording is TERRIBLE! Naturally, it's a 1904 recording! But the hiss for the first half of the cd is almost painful. It's NOT something you can just ignore, so don't be caught unawares.

      5 out of 5 stars I own "A Touch of Today" on vinyl.......2007-01-16

      While browsing through an old record store I found an old LP of "A Touch of Today" on sale in perfect condition for $2.95. So what the hell I thought... And you know, that was the best three bucks I've ever spent. Man, oh man, that woman could (and still can)sing baby! What a voice, I mean if you like Nancy Wilson then you will love this album. I don't care if some of the songs are considered sappy 60's elevator fare, this woman's voice just makes any song sound beautiful and fresh. I almost left the room when "Yesterday" came on (I just couldn't take yet another tired version of this depressing song) and I am so glad that I didn't cause she just nails it like no one I have ever heard before. I actually had to listen to it again cause I was so in awe the first time I couldn't really enjoy it. However, the whole album is like this. Hell, I would have paid ten dollars for this LP just to listen to "You're Gonna Hear From Me". So go out and buy this CD (like I am so I can listen to it in my car)and I can assure you, you will be happy you did.

      5 out of 5 stars A Different Nancy..........2007-01-10

      on this double cd we find nancy in a more secular setting, seems like she was getting out of the mold of being just a jazz singer. she branched out on this one, singing the popular song uptight by stevie wonder, she did a nice job, and some more i dont know but i liked them too... listen to the samples...

      5 out of 5 stars Nice blend of sixties songs and old standards.......2004-04-27

      The two albums paired in this twofer are well matched, each containing many covers of sixties pop songs and a few older songs.

      Among the sixties songs are covers of Go away little boy (gender adaptation of Goffin and King's Go away little girl - an American hit for the Happenings but a British hit for Mark Wynter), Unchain my heart (Ray Charles), Wives and lovers (a Bacharach-David classic), I can't stop loving you (originally a country song, but Nancy almost certainly recorded it after hearing Ray Charles sing it - he had a number one pop hit with it on both sides of the Atlantic), On Broadway (Drifters), Our day will come (Ruby and the Romantics), You've got your troubles (Fortunes), And I love him (gender adaptation of And I love her - Beatles), Uptight (Stevie Wonder), Call me (originally recorded by Petula Clark but an American hit for Chris Montez) and Yesterday (Beatles) and Going out of my head (Little Anthony and the Imperials).

      Among the other songs, Tony Bennett has recorded at least three of them (I left my heart in San Francisco, The good life, Shadow of your smile), though some of the others are obscure - however, they are all excellent and well suited to Nancy.

      Nancy was one of the best jazz-pop singers of her generation and this twofer proves it.

      3 out of 5 stars An EMI Twofer, the English Way.......2000-07-10

      UK's EMI/Capitol offers good service to the customers. This is a 2-on-1 CD pack with 2 original albums on 1 CD. So it's not a compilation. I'd not personally choose these two albums from Ms.Wilson's best times. Here you'll just find her covering pop songs from the 70s with good arrangements.

      5 out of 5 stars Superb..Nancy at her eclectic best.......2000-01-04

      From Jobim's "One Note Samba" to The Beatles' "And I Love Him(Her)", Nancy Wilson shows her range and versatility in this double cd set from the 60s. Add some wonderful jazz arrangements and some classic songs from the era and you get quite a delightful package.

      This is the best of Nancy Wilson, before she took a turn in the 80s and 90s towards more mainstream, subdued pop-lite.

      A wonderful CD set that contains many hard to find 60s performances from this Great Lady.

      1 out of 5 stars Nothing Like the Real Thing, Baby..........2002-09-09

      While the songs are indeed by the original artists, it seems that all of these tracks are the equivalent of factory seconds... Each of these songs is probably not the song you remember hearing on the radio or album - the arrangements are just a little bit different, the tempos just a little bit off. The vocals on "Indian Reservation" lack the passion; "Jackie Blue" sounds a little lethargic; "Midnight Feels Right" lacks the rythmn that I remember from the original. I have a couple of these songs on other albums, and I have compared them; they are not the same. I would not recommend this album, if you're looking for a good 70's collection look elsewhere.

      4 out of 5 stars George is Wright.......2005-04-19

      This was my second theatre organ CD purchase several years ago (after "The Mighty Wurlitzer: Music for Movie Palace Organs"), and I fell in love with it right away! Of course, back then I was just learning about the theatre organ, so I was eager for material.

      The selections presented here are a good sampling of George's ability and repertoire. I particularly enjoyed the second track, George's own composition, "Boogie." I know personally several theatre organists who have tried to duplicate his technique on that piece and failed miserably trying!

      I was amused by a reviewer's quip regarding a friend of George's saying these tracks were all "rejects." That reminds me of Virgil Fox's many attempts to bring a recording to perfection, spending countless hours on it if necessary. Well, for rejects, they sure sound pretty good to me!

      I know that personal taste varies widely. However, I certainly didn't find this CD bland at all, but quite enjoyable. I think you will, too.

      2 out of 5 stars George's test tapes.......2003-10-10

      This CD is a compilation of two tracks from George's first album for the HiFi label back in the mid 50's along with other material which was probably recorded at different times and later released, along with other selections, on two HiFi Life series LP's - "Sweet and Low" and "Tibia & Vox."

      Except for "Stars and Stripes Forever," "Boogie" (a George Wright original composition) and "Under the Double Eagle" (a cut from a later HiFi release which was misidentified as "Washington Post March" on the original LP), none of the other material was ever intended for release. A friend of George's explained it to me this way many years ago, "Those are all rejects - every one of them. It's some stuff that he just did." Basement tapes, in other words. Some of it appears to have been test material to see how the organ would record, others tracks appear to be outtakes from material which was later released ("All Through the Night," for example, another version of which was released under the title "Evening Hymn" for the "Hymns That Live" album, most of which is available on another Legacy CD).

      This CD is definitely worth having if you are a big George Wright fan, as I am. It is currently the only CD compilation of the "outtake" material available. It is worth noting, however, that the two opening tracks and the last track are now available on Banda CDs, and the sound is much better since Banda used the original master tapes rather than the tapes used to master the LP's, as Legacy apparently has.

      One additional note: on all the tracks, the organ is a 5-manual 21-rank Wurlitzer originally built for and installed in the Paradise Theatre in Chicago and at the time of this recording was installed in the basement studio of Richard Vaughn, the founder of High Fidelity Recordings, Inc., the label for which these tracks were originally recorded.

      1 out of 5 stars Technically Flawed CD.......2000-11-28

      Legacy did a very poor job of transferring a very good original tape recording to CD. It actually sounds like they used a duplicate tape intended for a 33-1/3 record pressing instead of the original master tape recordings.

      The audio equalization is so bad the mighty Wurlitzer organ screeches and grates on the ear. George Wright's Banda CD remasters are far, far, better. Legacy needs to redo this recording and volume two as well.

      1 out of 5 stars Dissapointing.......2000-10-02

      The first two selections are good. The rest are really bland. The capabilities of the organ are not exploited. Definitely does not justify the "mighty" in the title.

      5 out of 5 stars More than just a good listen... it stir the soul! .......2007-05-31

      Soon as you put the CD on, you are transported to another time... another place. The music sooths, as the words spoken by the beast penetrate to the deepest part of your soul. You're emotionally spent, yet feel more alive than ever after your journey.

      I bought this years ago when it first came out on Cassette (gives you an idea how long ago that was) I listened to it so many times the tape wore out. I just ordered the CD.... I can't wait for the journey to begin again...thank you Vincent!

      5 out of 5 stars I Loved this Show and this Album.......2006-06-09

      I bought the CD today as a backup in case my original signed by Ron Perlman CD wears out. I keep waiting for the owners of this series to release at least the first 2 season on DVD. I have no interest in owning the 3rd season when the show broke my heart. I wish someone would redo this show in it's original conception as a movie or a TV series. I loved the show and was a great fan of the Love and Hope shown by Catherine and Vincent.

      5 out of 5 stars Of Love And Hope.......2006-04-07

      Hi! I bought "Of Love & Hope" last November, through Amazon.com, and I must say, I enjoy it! However; the producers of this album, which I love, should have used another introduction instead of just the MUSIC. Why not use the main theme, where Vincent and Catherine introduce each other? THAT would have been great!! After all, Cathy was also a great character on the show!

      I hereby recommend this album to all Beauty and the Beast fans out there. I have listened to it so often, that now, I can recite more poems by heart! BATB FOREVER!

      5 out of 5 stars Lushly Romantic!.......2005-09-04

      I was a great fan of the TV series, "Beauty and the Beast" and owned the cassette version of "Of Love and Hope" in which Ron Purlman as Vincent reads poetry by Shakespeare, Lord Byron, Shelly, Rilke and other greats, interspersed with beautiful music, mostly from the soundtrack of the series. As I love beautiful music and beautiful words, I counted this tape among my treasures. When the tape eventually became damaged, I truly was distraught. I am delighted to now own the CD, which brought me instant pleasure which can only continue for the rest of my life.

      5 out of 5 stars Moves me to tears..........2005-07-06

      I actually have this on cassette, bought years ago before television network executives butchered this incredibly beautiful show, and dug it out of storage recently. Interestingly enough, I found that I had forgotten none of it. Never has music spoken so eloquently to my heart, nor represented a television show so clearly and wonderfully. Ron Perlman's "Vincent" voice, interpreting the classical literary selections in this, is sensual, articulate, undeniably romantic. It's one of the most unusual collections of music and poetry I've ever come across, a fitting and fine representation of the show.
      My favorite is the opening theme of the series, with lyrics sung and "Vincent's" "No one, not even the rain, has such small hands" intonation.
      The television show and it's tragic, other-worldly love story was too perfect to last long on tv. I'm glad that fans such as myself have been able to hold onto rememberances of the show such as this marvelous, sweeping score. I only wish that it could be re-released on Cd, along with dvds of the series. Fans have been keeping the magic alive all these years; it's time we were recognized.
