At Her Very Best.......2007-01-15

Her voice did not appear to be as strong as in her "Canciones" CD. Also it lacked Mouskouri's vacal creativity. I did like the bouncy "Oh Happy Day" and others but there was something in several songs that her voice did not appear to be strong at all.

at her very best.......2007-01-10

really enjoyed the music.will buy another one of nan mouskouris cds at a later date.highly recommend it.

At Her Very Best.......2006-04-21

A tour de force of Mouskouri's best music, showcasing her pure voice.

Excellent and versatile selection.......2005-12-03

I initially bought this CD primarily to hear Nana Mouskouri's version of the classical "Ave Maria." Although my favorite version remains the one sung by Mario Lanza, I found Mouskouri's version quite pleasant and entirely listenable. Other excellent classical selections include Habanera (Bizet), The Humming Chorus (Puccini), Song For Liberty (Verdi), and En Aranjuez Con Mi Amor (Rodrigo).

All of the selections, classical and pop, are thoroughly pleasant and very clear. Both Mouskouri's voice and the instrumental accompaniment are beautiful. One thing that stands out on this CD is her versatility. Whether it's something as traditional and classical as "Ave Maria" or something as hip as the sixties rock gospel song "Oh Happy Day," Nana Mouskouri knows how to make it hers. She sings "Oh Happy Day" with convincing energy and enthusiasm. As for "Quand on s'aime" her duet with the French jazz composer, Michel Legrand, it's an enthusiastically sung jazzy number that really swings and is wonderfully done. Her versions of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Trouble Water" and "Scarborough Fair Canticle" are also first rate. No weak selections here. Only beautiful songs that are very well done. Warmly recommended.

Nana Mouskouri at Her Very Best.......2005-10-17

The versatility of Nana's voice, arguably the sweetest on the planet, is captured in this CD. One can only want to hear more!

spirit and soul.......2005-10-30

Jessie Mae Hemphill is less active than she used to be, but still with the world and in poor economic circumstances, which is not what she deserves... This person grew up in the heartland of country blues, Northern Mississipi, and "puts down" the true feeling of her deep human roots. Her personality is her voice and her music, and she deserves to be heard like crazy. It has never been easy for a woman to be accepted as a great blues performer, guitarist, percussionist and incredible human being - but Jessie Mae is all of that and more. If we don't soon realize that this form of music is life itself and the gasoline on which we run we're done for. Let Jessie Mae into your heart because she IS your heart.

This reissue of the Boston favorite's 1995 debut clearly highlights her greatest strength: her voice. Susan Tedeschi has been singing since she was 4 years old, and it shows; her voice has the power and control that comes from long experience. If her version of "Hound Dog" doesn't blow the top off of Big Mama Thornton's original, it's still a strong effort, and she's just as good with her own material. The title track--penned by Adrienne Hayes, guitarist for Tedeschi's band--is especially good, as the slow tempo allows Tedeschi to stretch her pipes a bit. Unfortunately, even by the release of Just Won't Burn, Tedeschi's guitar hadn't caught up with her voice, and the discrepancy is even more obvious here--there's a spark, but it doesn't quite catch fire. Still, there's no question that her heart's in the right place, and if her guitar work continues to improve, there'll be no stopping her. --Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews:

My cat could probably mix better! I'm serious!.......2007-02-08

Fairly good CD marred by the most horrible recording / mixdown / mastering I've ever encountered on a commercial CD - nay, make that any CD! Through headphones the stereo image pumps around, indicating they did some heavy stereo compression without mixing the channels together for the control signal.

In order to listen to this without getting a terrible headache, I had to mix it down to mono and apply some fake stereo. Pathetic! Who let this thing get stamped out without even the most cursory inspection of the content quality?

[...] But please, please, please play blues guitar on your next CD, OK? Shove those those studio pickers out of the way and do what you do best! And take JH out of your Rolodex!

she's great , this recording well . . . . .......2005-07-12

this is worth owning as it's a record of susan younger . . . .

i'm really looking forward to her new album - supposedly coming out this fall

Great music, bad production.......2003-04-01

I love Susan Tedeschi and was thrilled to get a hold of this "pre-fame" CD. It's a great CD too. Full of powerful blues that are more reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt than of Janis Joplin.

The production on this CD is really pretty spotty. The first track "It's Up to You" has a very muddy quality to it and "It Hurts Me Too" is painful to listen to on headphones with the mixing from left to right channels constantly moving. Most of the tracks however, are adequately mixed.

All in all, this is well worth listening to if you're a Tedeschi fan, but her following CD's are far superior to this one. She just keeps getting better.

A good record.......2002-09-30

Like most people, I fell in love with Susan Tedeschi after hearing "Just Won't Burn". It became the soundtrack of my senior year in high school...so I immediately bought "Better Days", and at first listen, I was disappointed. Nothing seemed to click. It wasn't bad, just okay. I set it aside for a couple months and just recently started listening to it again. I don't know why I didn't love it before! Some of the songs almost have a country feel, like the first track. Most are mellow blues, but they still rock. I can't wait for the new album!

This gal knows how to play the blues!.......2002-07-12

I first heard Ms. Tedeschi when she opened for B.B. King in his year 2000 tour. What a night! I happen to be a big fan of the blues, and when I heard those performers, I was more than impressed! But Ms. Tedeschi stood out from the rest, because she expresses such a great amount of talent. You can tell that she loves her work! She can really play the blues, and her voice is just the icing on the cake!
It's hard to say which song on this album is my favorite. It's like trying to decide which one of your children you love more. But I will say that her interpretation of "Hound Dog" is not one to be missed. I would also have to say that the instrumental work on "You're On My Hair" is great! Not to mention, she can play a mean slide guitar! (When you hear "Locomotive" you'll know what I mean). I recommend this album to anyone who has a deep respect for the blues, you won't be disappointed!

Acoustic Persistence.......2004-06-09

After the success of Suzanne Ciani's first acoustic piano album 'Pianissimo,' it's no surprise that she would venture into the world of hammers and strings again. Nor is it any surprise that her second album is just as pleasurable as the first. Ostensible created out of previous electronic pieces dating as far back as 1983 (The Velocity of Love) most of the work comes from the 1990's - as late as 1996 Princess, Etude, and Timeless). This gives the listener an opportunity to see how the acoustic side of this musician has matured, and how it has affected her overall work.

Frankly, I like Ciani better as an acoustic performer. The underlying percussive nature of the natural piano lends her a definition that is sometimes lacking in her electronic work. As much as people might argue with me, I believe that control is more of an issue with electronic composition and performance than it is with an acoustic instrument. The latter is beautiful 'in spite' of its limitations, the former can hypnotize the artist with its textures, diluting the melodic content. Compare, for instance, the original Velocity of Love with the version presented here. While the two versions are both pianistic, the original is a bit more diffuse even thought it is more orchestrated. Both are beautiful though.

Ciani has a native melodic skill that produced consistently affecting work. As I've mentioned before, her music is more intimate and less bravura than other, equally good pianists. Not that she isn't capable of moments of dazzling performance (Andalusian Dream), but her niche is really the song, and not the singer (Go Gently, and Bel Canto). I've been listening to this album for several weeks now, postponing reviewing it to listen 'one more time,' and it refuses to get tiresome.

I never did manage to get the included multimedia track to work on either my Mac or my PC's, which is probably my fault. But as I've said, it isn't why I bought the album. I bought it for the music, and there is plenty of that.

5 star music hindered by 2 star playing.......2000-02-04

I love Suzanne Ciani's music. Her compositions are wonderful. Saddly her piano playing does not do them justice. I have listened to this album many, many times, thinking that I was being to harsh in my judgment, but I always arrive at the same conclusion. Suzanne bangs the keys. Sometimes she bangs them softly. Mostly she bangs them loudly. She plays the correct notes at the correct time, but there is no art. All of the finer points of playing are missing. I much prefer "Dream Suite", "Turning" and "Suzannne Live" in which she can bang to her heart's content, since most of the melody is carried by other instruments. Maybe someday a gifted piano player will do these compositions justice.

One Foot in Heaven.......1999-11-26

Suzanne Ciani has one foot in heaven. She's my favorite 20th century musician. Her music evokes romance, sweetness, eroticism, heaven, serenity; you name it; her music evokes it. Genius!

Beautiful music by a talented composer.......1999-09-15

I first heard about Suzanne Ciani from the Romantic Piano website (members.xoom.com/sims_music/piano/). I fell in love with her melodies. The difference that seperates her from other "New Age" composers such as Jim Brickman and Yanni, is that the form in her music is very tight. Her music does not sound like improvisations at all. One could walk away from one of her concerts and remember each song, while this is hard at other concerts where all the music sounds the same. Bravo to Ciani for giving us an escape from all the other terrible piano music out there.

Truly a Timeless Recording!.......1999-05-20

Suzanne Ciani's music have always set the mood for any occasion. This album is no exception. In Pianissimo II, Suzanne performs her favorite songs on a concert grand piano at George Lucas's Skywalker Studio. She also has three new songs on this album too.

The recording quality is superb along with Suzanne's liner notes on each song. Each song is very moving and if you really concentrate on each song, imagery comes into play.

For example, I listened to my favorite song "Timeless" located on Track 15. It made me think about looking at a photo album and watching my mom grow older (and wiser) through time. I sure that other listeners who bought this album with have many images that will blend with her songs.

Another neat addition to this album is the Computer Multimedia Enhancement track. Put this album in a Macintosh or Windows based PC and let Suzanne show you how the album was produced and meet her staff who helped made it possible. There are some other surprises too.

All in all, it's a great recording. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommended!.......2007-04-05

This Dusty Springfield collection gives a great overview of the finest moments in Dusty Springfied's long recording career. From the early Sprigfields track "Island of Dreams" till the 1990 track "Reputation". Logically main focus is on her greatest period from middle 60's till early 70's when she scored several top-ten hits all of which are included here.

Among the lesser known tracks are the fine "Dusty in Memphis" outtake "You've Got a Friend" and a rare live recording of "Quiet Please, There's a Lady on Stage".

Her hit with the Pet Shop Boys "What Have I Done to Deserve This" is also included. All in all a great and highly recommendable collection.

The Only Dusty Springfield Album You'll Ever Need.......2006-12-03

This is the compilation to end all compilations! Includes her signature classics, "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me," "Son Of A Preacher Man," "The Look Of Love," and "I Only Want to Be With You." But there's much, much more to Dusty. She put her timeless spin on so many hits of the rock era, one would think the songs were written for her. Just listen to her take on "Anyone Who Had A Heart," "You've Got A Friend," "This Girl's In Love With You," "Close To You," "Goin' Back," "If You Go Away," "You Don't Own Me," "Piece Of My Heart," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," "Make It With You," and "Oh No, Not My Baby." All were made hits by other artists, but listening to them on this compilation will make you forget the original recordings. There's so much more to this collection than her hits and covers. It spans 4 decades of her career, and closes out with her hits with the Pet Shop Boys, "What Have I Done To Deserve This," and "In Private." Look no further, this is a great greatest hits collection. She is simply sublime.
