Album Description

This triple-Grammy winning group of consummate musicians and songwriters out of East L.A. began their career interpreting Mexican folk music and went on to be a globally renowned purvayor of a diverse and adventurous repertoire of roots-flavored masterpieces. Drawing from rock, country, blues, folk, R&B, Americana, and traditional Spanish and Latin American idioms, Los Lobos continually pushed the boundaries of their sound, while remaining magnificently gritty and graceful throughout.

The Definitive Collection????.......2007-04-08

Where does one start with the Los Lobos catalogue? There have been three Los Lobos "Best Of's" (a 4 disc set, a 2 disc set and this single disc) and, although they all give a fair overview of the band, I would suggest that if you are hard-core Los Lobos fan you probably own most of this material already. Los Lobos have been releasing albums now for 30 years and have gone through a number of stylistic changes in this time. They started off as a traditional Mexican music band and have moved through country, blues, atmospheric groove, rock, rock and roll, R&B and pop. What has distinguished them throughout has been superb musicianship, songwriting, lyrics and vocals and an unbending desire to release albums that satisfied the band before a record company. All this has led to many vastly different albums some of which may alienate the casual listener. For example, compare "Will The Wolf Survive" with "KIKO", "La Pistola y el Corazon" with "Colossal Head" or "Papa's Dream" (a superb children's album) with "The Town and the City" and you will see the diversity of the band. This all leads to the difficulty in compiling a definitive "best of" collection for the casual listener. One may love the traditional Mexican stuff but not the hard-core, groove based material or visa versa. Wolf Tracks does a reasonable job of condensing the Los Lobos catalogue into a one disc overview and, as such, is a pretty good place to start. If you like all the music here then I urge you to go get as many albums as you can. However if you like the more accessible material, start with "Will the Wolf Survive" and "By the Light of the Moon" then move forward with care. If you like the rock material, you can't get any better than "The Town and the City" and the previous album, "The Ride". If you like the groove based material, go for "KIKO" and move on from there, including the Latin Playboys albums. Los Lobos have been releasing some of the best American/Mexican roots music available for nye on 30 years and the journey, from start to now, has been exhilirating, if frustrating at times. "Wolf Tracks" is as good a place to start as anywhere and if you do decide to go the journey you will be richly rewarded with some of the finest roots music of the last 30 years.

Good memories.......2007-04-04

Really good music, but also get their new stuff. It's so much better.

Happiness.......2006-11-10

I had a Los Lobos cassette awhile ago and I misplaced it, so when I saw this disc on Amazon I thought I'd order it to replace it! Boy did I forget how happy their music made me feel! Great music and service, I received my delivery promptly and without any hitch,AND in perfect condition...Thank You all for making this Grandma smile

Nothing like a retrospective..........2006-09-13

to help us see just how good these guys are. Makes the miles fly away. What better recommendation can there be?

In the movie "Eating Raoul"...........2006-09-01

a Los Lobos song is heard on the soundtrack as Paul Bartel is chasing Robert Beltran in his old beat-up car. It is a great Mexican version of "Devil With A Blue Dress On". I wish that was on here as a bonus track. Still, this is a pretty good "best of" album because the first 75% of it is from their early period. There are only one or two tracks from the horrendous "Kiko", "Neighborhood", and "This Time" albums, but they are the better tracks. My copy of the cd has a bonus unreleased track from the "Neighborhood" sessions called "Border Girl". Yeah, I know you Los Lobos freaks will say that "Kiko" is their best album, but you have no idea what you are talking about. 99% of the world is blinkered and stupid and you twirps are right in there with the rest of the rabble.

This cd is all you need of Los Lobos. I mean, your brain is cluttered up with confusion already...so why clutter your house with too many Los Lobos cds as well when you can buy "Throw That Beat In The Garbage Can" cds from Amazon marketplace sellers for 5 bucks.

If you don't have any Los Lobos stuff, buy this now!... and pick up "The Monkees Anthology" while you are here. Better still, don't worry about Los Lobos and buy "The Best of YELLO" because Boris Blank has a better haircut than David Hidalgo (who is no stranger to the buffet line, I might add). Go on a diet, David.

Peter and the Wolf good, Wolf Tracks Bad.......2006-08-17

Sophia Loren does a fantastic job with 'Peter and the Wolf'. Her performance alone is worth buying the CD. "Wolf Tracks" however did not do as good of a job. This was not due to Clinton's performance as he was simple reading the story not writing it. 'Wolf Tracks' is very preachy and very weak attempt to get people to care about the environment. In addition the music for 'Wolf Tracks' is pale in comparison to 'Peter and the Wolf'. With Prokofiev you walk away with humming the themes for all the characters, with Beintus you walk away wishing you stopped the CD after track three. Only buy this CD if you are a fan of `Peter and the Wolf'

GRAMMY AWARD .......2005-09-20

Best Spoken Word Album For Children
This Peter and the Wolf SACD won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album For Children, beating such nominated heavyweights as Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix spoken by Jim Dale, Winnie the Pooh spoken by Jim Broadbent and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory told by Eric Idle.

PENTATONE

PentaTone Classics
PentaTone Classics is a small Dutch label specialised in Super Audio CD (SACD) recordings. It was founded just a few years ago by former Philips executives and has become well known for its Remastered Quadro Recordings (RQR) series. The RQR series are SACD issues of recordings Philips made in the seventies for the short-lived quadrophonic LP format.

PentaTone SACDs
PentaTone doesn't produce anything less than SACDs, and al its SACDs are hybrid SACDs, they play on both SACD and ordinary CD players.
Many PentaTone recordings are made by Polyhymnia, formerly the Philips Classical Recording Centre. Polymnia is specialised in high-end recordings of acoustic music on location. Much of the recording equipment is designed and built or at least substantially modified in-house. Polymnia became independent in 1998 through a management buy-out by key personnel.

THE STORY BEHIND THE CD

international collaboration
Just how did a small independent Dutch label manage to get Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev on the same CD?

That story starts back in 1990, at the height of glasnost, when pianist-conductor Mikhail Pletnev approached president Gorbachev with the idea to create an orchestra completely free of government control. Thus the Russian National Orchestra came into existence. Mikhail Gorbachev remains affiliated with the RNO. He is not on the board of trustees, but he is on the international Board of Directors of the Russian Arts Foundation, an American organisation in support of Russian art and culture.

When the RNO debuted for Deutsche Grammophon with its recording of Tchaikovsky's Pathétique, Grammophone called it "awe-inspiring" and the best recording of the Pathétique ever.
In 2001, the RNO started its Cultural Allies program, an arts exchange program that promotes international understanding. It was the Cultural Allies program that enabled the Russian debut of e Russian debut of conductors like Kent Nagano and Michael Tilson Thomas.

Most recording of the RNO with conductor Mikhail Pletnev have been released by Deutsche Grammophon, more recently, recordings with with conductor Kent Nagano have been released by PentaTone.

charity
The Russian National Orchestra's idea to couple the classic Peter and the Wolf with a modern story was executed under the artistic direction of Kent Nagano. The RNO commissioned French composer Jean-Pascal Beintus to write a new composition, Wolf Tracks and broadcast writer Walt Kraemer to write the text. Contributors include pianist Hélène Grimaud, co-founder of the Wolf Conservation Centre.
Nagano conducted premiere performance of Wolf Tracks took place in August of 2002 at San Francisco's Stern Grove Festival.

The decision to contribute all royalties to charity made it easier to attract some well-known names.

On the CD, the story of Peter and the Wolf is told by Italian actress Sophia Loren. She is chair of the Artists Council of the Russian Arts Foundation, active in many charity causes. Her royalties go to Magic of Music, and arts therapy program for youth sponsored by the RNO.

Mikhail Gorbachev does the prologue, intermezzo and epilogue - in Russian. Translation into English is provided by Sergei Markov, the chief executive of the Russian National Orchestra. Gorbachev's royalties go to Green Cross International, an environmental organisation he himself founded.

Bill Clinton once considered a career as a professional saxophone player. It may have been Gorbachev who asked him to narrate Wolf Tracks. Bill Clinton co-chairs the advisory committee of the International AIDS Trust, together with Nelson Mandela, and his royalties go there.

booklet
PentaTone did not skim on the booklet. It is a 24-page full-colour job, containing background information on the narrators, their chosen charities, the compositions, the composors , the orchestra and the conductor. It is illustrated with drawings by children from Moscow orphanages.

SONIC ENJOYMENT

recording
PentaTone recorded the CD in multi-channel surround. The recording is crisp and clear. The sound engineers did a fine job. The orchestra's every nuance and the narrator's every inflection has been captured perfectly. It may well be the best recorded Peter and the Wolf yet.

prologue, intermezzo, epilogue
I found the prologue, intermezzo and epilogue rather disappointing. Gorbachev's text just seems too formal, even a bit pompous to me, and the line-by-line translation robs it from any free flow it might have left. He may mean well, but there's nothing here for children to enjoy at all. Luckily, theses three tracks are just about one minute each.

Peter and the Wolf
Sophia Loren does a fine job telling the story of Peter and the Wolf. Loren isn't trying to act up, but is telling the story with enthusiasm, making her rendition more convincing and likeable than Sharon Stone's version. I personally still prefer David Bowie's and Stings's versions, but this recording is among the top ones. Kent Nagano's pacing of the orchestra, the sound balance between the orchestra and her voice, even the particular sound of this orchestra and her voice, they all seem just right for each other. The orchestra's wind soloists' performance in particular makes it clear why this is such a highly respected orchestra. The enthusiasm and understanding with which she tells the story contributes to the enjoyment of the performance.

Wolf Tracks
The story of Wolf Tracks is about Peter's grandson, also called Peter. It is told by Bill Clinton. This story and his performance narrating it are the real gem on this CD. The story, although a bit heavy on morals, is a good one that makes a great coupling with Peter and the Wolf, so good a coupling in fact, that it might become a classic one.
The orchestra does an admirable job again, but the real surprise is that Bill Clinton is a stunningly effective narrator. Even after seeing the photos of him recording it, you still imagine him telling the story from a chair next to a burning log fire, looking up now and then to look you in the eye, turn the next page and continue the story.

conclusion
This is one of the better recordings of Peter and the Wolf, and the first time it is coupled with Wolf Tracks, a modern sequel to that tale. With fine narration and superb sound, the Grammy is well-deserved.

highly recommended.......2004-01-26

The classic composition by Sergei Prokofiev gets a new soul and also a new soulmate, Wolf Tracks, by Jean-Pascal Beintus. Both pieces are conducted by Kent Nogano and the Russian National Orchestra (RNO), with all proceeds going to charities. The original tale of Peter's dangerous encounter is narrated by ardent animal-rights supporter Sophia Loren. Wolf Tracks, narrated by former US President Bill Clinton, is about Peter's own little grandson. Old Peter has had a change of heart as the wolves and the wild places have been driven toward extinction. But young Peter simply must capture a wolf for himself! And in so doing, learn what his grandfather realized long ago about the wolf's important place in Nature. Superb scores and excellent storytelling make this recording a kid and parent pleaser! A word about the beneficiaries of this project: Green Cross International was founded in 1993 by former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, who provides the CD's prologue, intermezzo, and epilogue in Russian. Green Cross, active in twenty four countries, promotes natural resource conservation, research, and education. Sophia Loren's charity, Magic of Music, is the RNO's program to bring art and music to orphanages and children's hospitals worldwide. Each of the colorful illustrations in the 24-page booklet which accompanies the CD was painted by children in the program. Bill Clinton's royalties go to the International AIDS Trust, which he co-chairs with Nelson Mandela. IAT creates strategic partnerships with heads of governments, labor, business, religions, and with private citizens to combat the global AIDS epidemic. So, in the words of the Wolf himself, "Everyone involved, including you, dear listener, has made a contribution to a better future for wolves and all the noble creatures of our planet." A pleasure, highly recommended, and worthwhile!

A worthy sequel.......2003-10-07

As a collector of Peter & the Wolf, I was instantly intrigued when I heard of this new edition, and ordered it before it was released. Though Wolf Tracks is not actually an edition of the Prokofiev tale, the inclusion of a rendition of the original by Sophia Loren would have made this a must buy for me anyway.

Loren does a beautiful job narrating the classic Peter; her alluring voice and luscious accent instantly making this one of my favorite editions. But to my surprise, the Wolf Tracks piece was an unexpected delight. Not a great fan of contemporary orchestral music, I was not expecting much. But the score by Beintus and the text by Walt Kreamer combine to create a truly delightful piece.

Peter and the Wolf was commissioned specifically as a guide to the orchestra, so musical themes are created for each character and repeated throughout the piece. Wolf Tracks has a different mission. I was unable to detect associative musical themes, but the score is a beautiful series of melodies that support the text perfectly. The text was what really surprised me. I expected a preachy dissertation on ecological responsibility, and surely that was evident. But the sermon was wonderfully woven into the story of Peter, the grandson of Prokofiev's Peter, in such a touching manner that I literally had a lump in my throat at the end. This piece really makes you feel for the plight of the Wolf, and for so many other threatened creatures.

This disk will stand repeated plays for years to come. I seldom pay list price for any music, but this was definitely worth the premium.

Applause For These Paws.......2003-09-25

Peter and the Wolf, Serge Prokofiev
Wolf Tracks, Jean-Pascal Beintus
Russian National Orchestra, Kent Nagano, conductor
Featuring Sophia Loren, Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev
PentaTone Classics 5186 012

Introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev and narrated by Sophia Loren and Bill Clinton (who will donate their royalties to charities) these two musical stories come alive in familiar voices particularly relevant to a new century. The storytellers here - one relaxed and convivial, the other elegant and beguiling - lend a special intimacy that transcends age and nationality. Apparent immediately is that both understand how to talk to children, with warmth and candor, as if children were in the room. Nothing here is cute, condescending or silly; there is not a trace of the hyperbolic, manufactured emotion so common to most audio/video productions for children now, only respect and the natural parity of storytellers and listeners having a good time. The liner booklet, illustrated by orphaned and disabled Moscow children in tasty candy colors, features insightful but easy reading about all involved, including The Wolf.

The two stories brilliantly complement each other, and yet both narratives stand on their own. "Peter and the Wolf" is well known, but the new "Wolf Tracks" offers an equally engaging tonal world. Like Prokofiev, Bientus crafts music with enough complexity to pull a child in, but not so much that he or she can't find a place in its own richly hued landscape, a place so real they can smell woodland breezes, hear paws in tender grasses. Both, as rendered by this always superb orchestra, guarantee imagination-ignition in any kid's brain within ten bars.

With all due respect to Asleep at the Wheel and Ace in the Hole, Tom Morrell and the Time-Warp Top Hands are the best Western swing band in Texas. Wolf Tracks is a collection of instrumentals taken from Morrell's 10-volume series How the West Was Swung, which has sought to reclaim Western swing as "cowboy jazz" rather than country music, at least by Nashville's definition of the term. Morrell--who toured with Tex Williams, Ray Price, and the Texas Playboys back in the day--favors an old-fashioned steel guitar with no pedals on most tracks. He's joined here by lead guitarists Rich O'Brien and Clint Strong, who plays all those nifty jazz scales that annoyed his ex-boss Merle Haggard on the standard "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" and Morrell's original "Pterodactyl Ptales." In the tradition of Bob Wills, several tracks feature New Orleans-style trumpet, trombone, and clarinet. But Morrell takes Wills one step further by integrating the vibraphone into his sound on more than half the tracks. --Rick Mitchell

Great Album!.......2003-01-29

This is my first introduction to Morrell, and it was well worth the purchase. Makes me want to pick up the albums these were picked from. I do have to say that at least with my copy of this album, the back cover says explicitly that this is a collection from the *How the West Was Swung* series. I am not sure which copy a previous reviewer here was refering to.

Tom Morrell.......1999-11-29

A nice album comprised of 12 tracks which have already been published under the "How-the-West-Was-Swung" series by WR Records (Vol.1 through 10). Very little information transpired by the time the album was announced for release, may be to leave potential buyers under the impression this was a new album rather than a "best-of" compilation. If you have bought the WR Records series, you do not necessarily need this album.

Product Description

Reviewed in The Washington Post by Richard Harrington, Wednesday, February 2, 2005 "That two conjoined 18th-century barns could prove so hospitable to so much fine music won't surprise anyone who's ever visited them at Wolf Trap. In fact, 17 acts have recorded live albums at the Barns since they opened in 1981 as the smaller, year-round adjunct of Wolf Trap, and a handful of compilations have also come out of assorted folk-focused programs. This new CD gathers one track from each of 16 artists, about half of them local, and captures the venue's populist appeal, nowhere more raucously than in the opening track, "Rock This House," a Jimmy Rogers blues classic delivered with typical bravado by the Nighthawks. The Barns' juke joint feel is brought home in similarly energized performances by the Deanna Bogart Band, the Grandsons and the aptly named Roomful of Blues, who romp through the T-Bone Walker instrumental, "Two Bones and a Pick." Beausoleil's "Perky Dance Two-Step" and the Iguanas' sinewy "Para Donde Vas" exemplify why the Barns also doubles so effectively as a dance hall. On the other hand, its superb acoustics are well suited to the subtler singer-songwriter offerings of Nils Lofgren (the airy, hopeful "Some Must Dream"), John McCutcheon and Chris Smither. Among the previously unreleased tracks: Tom Paxton's gentle evocation of the '60s folk boom, "Did You Hear John Hurt?," with harmonies from Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer, whose wry and mirthful "Daughters of Feminists" is a highlight. So is Eddie From Ohio's "Great Day," a rousing a cappella gospel quartet built around Julie Murphy Wells's sterling lead and underscored by clapping hands and tapping feet."
