As fantastic as the series!.......2007-02-24

Immediately after I viewed the first few episodes in this series, and heard some of the extraordinary music, I immediately went on-line and purchased both O.S.T. 1 and 2. I'll start by saying that they're both exquisite, true masterpieces. This is by far two of the best anime soundtrack out there, heck, it's two of the best albums period. The music flows angelically and the vocals sway one into a dream of some fantastic world. And alos, both albums are over 58 minutes in length, so don't expect some quick, great opening and then having it end in a very short while (Ex: Berserk soundtrack). All I can say is that this series has evn harmoniously surpassed final fantasy's splendid music. Fan of anime or not, both the series itself and the soundtracks are must buys, you won't be disappointed.

Sublime and ethereal.......2006-05-29

Really i wanted to give it more stars if i could. This volume and volume 2 of the OST contain some of the most beautiful pieces I have heard in all anime music. Unmatched melodic creativeness and excellent orchestration, and oh the heavenly vocals, like angel's singing, dreamy and touching. No regret in this one! Absolutely worth investigating.

No regrets.......2005-12-13

I've never heard of the series before I bought the CD, my only exposure is the ending title that I caught from the 1+ minute ending clip while I waited for the next show to come up. I found out the series is called Last Exile and bought both volumns (OST 1 and 2) from that 1 minute exposure. I have to say it's the probably the best $20 dollars i've ever spent. The track styles are varied, but all of them beautiful nonetheless. And as oppose to others who have reviewed, I actually like Skywriting. I didn't at first, but after watching the anime, it made quite an impression on me. Yes the English is bad, but I've heard worse. And it does grow on you after a while. Anyway, this is one CD that you won't regret buying.

Some fabulous music in there.......2004-08-13

The first half of the CD is pretty much incredibly good (highlights being the refreshingly upbeat Morning in Norkia and the sly Cover Stories that has a surprising change of pace about halfway through). The second half of the CD sounds pretty much like a soundtrack; it's still good, but, well, it's a soundtrack -- and it sounds like it. The Japanese vocal tracks are all quite nice (5,9,19). Skywriting (track 15), however, is not in Japanese; it's in poor English and completely out of place on this disc. Don't buy this disk just for Cloud Age Symphony (opening credits, track 1) as it's an expanded version from the opening credits and you may not like it as much. But between Morning in Norkia and Cover Stories with a lot of decent supporting tracks around them, this CD is was a good buy for me.

Exquisite, delicate, rambunctious.......2004-02-23

If you've seen Last Exile, then some of this music will be familiar. If not, I can still recommend this music (most of it is symphony music, rather than vocal songs.). There are very few "synth" or "midi" tunes here - it's mostly all REAL instruments. Here is the music that's contained on this album:
1. Cloud Age Symphony - the opening song, but this is an extended version. Has vocals.
2. A Morning in Norkia - Very upbeat, cute, perky music
3. Workin' on the Cloud - Slightly tense violin (or violin-like instrument) and flutes play back and forth and build up.
4. To the Race - the name really evokes the feel of this piece. Playful and uplifting
5. Prayer for Love - Thoughtful but not depressing harp music with a pretty vocal. Kind of angelic.
6. Brave Willing - "Strutting" music, rather upbeat
7. Cover Stories - a more somber piece, a bit meloncholy/lonesome
8. Flyin' to Fly - a tense, exciting piece, rather exotic in some parts
9. Requiem in the Air - Angelic vocals. Very lovely
10. Hello, Kitty Girl - Cute, playful as it sounds! Alvis' theme, you could say.
11. Chivalry Spirits - Dramatic, gives the impression of vast movement, grand ships and tenseness
12. Advances - very "Naval" sounding. That's Navy, not bellybutton.
13. Naval Affair - Dramatic, tense, battle-like
14. All is Over - Rather somber piece, as though reaching the ending of something (probably hence the name)
15. Skywriting - a Vocal track, definitely not one of my favorites. Sounds like a Japanese verison of The Beatles.
16. Silverna - Slow and bombastic yet mysterious. Switches to dramatic mid-song.
17. Vanishing Point - Battle-like, dramatic
18. Complicated Decision - Sad, mournful, wistful
19. Over the Sky - End theme, extended version. Vocals. Wistful without being sad, kind of upbeat.

Overall, this album is VERY VERY good, as you can see from my rating of 5 stars. The symphony parts are exquisite and remniscent of Yoko Kanno's Escaflowne music, without being derivative. Dramatic and fun!

Average customer rating: Wow! Medtner's piano music is a strong, major addition to the piano standard repertoire, for both listener and performer. Beautiful. but it IS unjust; the war is Iraq is unjust contra drollere

Nikolai Medtner's chums at the Moscow Conservatory included Scriabin and Rachmaninoff. Like them, he was a brilliant pianist. Also like them, he composed an extensive body of distinguished piano music, most of which is relatively unknown. Its style resembles that of Rachmaninoff (who greatly admired it), although it lacks the latter's memorable melodies. Technically, it is just as difficult, requiring not only great fluency and endurance but also a wide range of colors. Marc-André Hamelin's prodigious technique makes him an ideal interpreter of Medtner's strong, clearly chiseled structures. His ability to play even the most complex and difficult passages at an even pace helps delineate and clarify them. Excellent recorded sound. --Paul Turok

Excellent (if you like Medtner's music). the piano is clear and wonderful.

Medtner's piano music is a strong, major addition to the piano standard repertoire, for both listener and performer. Beautiful........2007-05-02

When this 4CDs-album came out in 1998 I was one of the first in the states to purchase a copy, and even without knowing whether Medtner is my taste or not. I loved Hamelin's Scriabin-sonatas album so I didnt care about the high price of this Medtner-sonatas album. And I was right. With the first scanning of each disc I fell more and more in love with this gorgeous, rich, imaginative, romantic, melodic&rhythmic, intense, serious, profound, passionate...simply *beautiful* music. Medtner does not seem to strive for creating something extraordinary, innovative, modern, interesting per se but for pure musical intent. What you hear is pure (and absolute?) music by a genuine musician (Medtner) as natural and pianistic as one could imagine, with nothing else intended or presumed.
For comparative listeners, Geoffrey Tozer's boxed Medtner-sonatas set includes the complete Forgotten Melodies (I-III), not only I and II (Hamelin), but in the sonatas Hamelin plays with much more verve, drive, energy and speed. However, in the past years I tend to listen more of TozerPlayingMedtner...simply because he has been recording the complete Medtner solo music (prospected 9 volumes on Chandos) and I really enjoy the wealth of non-sonata music by Medtner which is less complex, of lighter content and much easier to understand. Many pianophiles whom I borrowed the Hamelin album thought that these sonatas were way too dense and heavy, yet in the end they fell in love with Medtner, too, when listening to his non-sonata pieces (Fairy Tales, etc.). They have become Medtner fans, yes!
As for my part, after having listened to Medtner sonatas for almost ten consecutive years, I somehow obtain the feeling that his other solo piano music is more enjoyable on a long-term basis. I cant listen to the sonatas nearly any more but I experience still lots of pleasure, fun and enjoyment listening to his other pieces. So thanks Hamelin for the convincing introduction to Medtner's world, and even more thanks to Tozer on Chandos (and Hamish Milne on CRD) for making this world my new home.

but it IS unjust;.......2006-10-03

that such beautiful music should be ignored! i never understood why rachmaninoff enjoyed more popularity than his more ingenious colleague, scriabin. i similarly don't understand why rach is deemed greater than medtner. perhaps it was sergei's larger-than-life presence as a pianist and conductor? i deem rachmaninoff one of the greatest pianist-conductors in history, but as a composer he ranks below both scriabin and medtner.
listen to medtner's music and be blown away by the intricacy and intimacy of his music. the density, the poignant lyricism. counterpoint unfolds and reveals music that is ten times more dense than rachmaninoff's (possibly excluding rach's 2nd and 3rd piano concerto).
you hear explosive genius, innovations, and emotions. a different trajectory from scriabin's music - not apocalpytic, but more rustic. more pastoral and fairy-like, if not as charged with pathos.
if you are a fan of piano music, or just keyboard music as a whole, if you're looking for something sexy, medtner's sonatas are the answer.
and hamelin's playing, i presume, does not need my vouching.

the war is Iraq is unjust.......2004-09-08

Medtner is a trult great composer and Hamelin is a truly great pianist, not just a technician.

contra drollere.......2004-06-23

Just a few words for those of you who are considering this set but have been given pause by the dissenting opinion in drollere's review, below.

I can understand that on first listen this music (like a great deal of classical music) may be difficult to parse -- to break into meaningful paragraphs and sentences, so to speak. And I know first-hand that when one can't yet hear the phrase structure in a piece of music, it tends to sounds like, yes, a long drum solo; it sounds like the music is attempting to express itself solely through superficial, local effects. drollere's review is actually a lovely, well-written description of the experience of listening to music without knowing how to parse it. One hears only "chords," "scales," "arpeggios," "melodies," and is aware that things seem to "change...every 20 seconds or so." In fact, listening to music this way - a bit like listening to the rise and fall of an actor's voice without being able to make out the words - often tends to give one an exaggerated impression of the surface effects, which I think must account for drollere's belief that this music is best characterized as "virtuosity for its own sake." Assessments like "the kinetic equivalent of serialism" and "a musical rubik's cube" really have nothing to do with Medtner - they just describe the general phenomenon of a piece of music being meaningless to a listener, in the truly musical sense of the word "meaning."

I was struck by these things, reading drollere's review, because they were so familiar to me: I am often frustrated by how long it takes me to come to terms with the form (and through it, substance) of a new musical work; sometimes it seems like I can listen to a piece 20 times and not yet know how to parse it. Frustrating indeed, because I, unlike drollere, know that at that point I'm still not qualified to form an opinion of the music. In a very real sense, I still haven't heard it. I might form an opinion about the fact that the music is still opaque to me (e.g. "I'm putting in an attentive, good faith effort to make sense of this music, so I declare that if I still don't know what's up after 20 listens, the composer isn't doing his/her job") but I'm simply not in a position to say anything about the composer's musical or aesthetic intentions or accomplishments. The composer didn't write the "drum solo" that I hear - it's just the raw data stream, not yet decoded by my brain, and as such isn't a work to be reviewed.

The irony of drollere's review is that the most outstanding aspect of this music, in exact opposition to what drollere says, is its "emotionally or imaginatively involving musical structure." Medtner's handling of sonata form is astounding - if you don't believe me or can't hear it, get a copy of the score and give yourself the assignment of breaking down the structure of one of the longer movements - the first piece I encountered was Op. 22, which is a good warm-up for the really sprawling ones, Op. 25/2 and Op. 53/2. I promise you that by the time you've gone through the purportedly tedious task of actually identifying the different themes and their recapitulations, noting thematic relationships, etc. etc., you'll realize how strong these pieces are, how exquisitely they fuse profound, heartfelt emotion with ingenious development - and then you'll be ready to listen again and hear it all. Or at least more of it. "What are the rewards of repeated listening?" indeed. Perhaps since July 28, 2003, drollere has found out the answer to that question, in which case I hope s/he will return and clean up around here. I just hate to think that anyone will be turned off to Medtner by a well-written but utterly rash review. Trust me: this is the real thing. The music is, if anything, better than the hype. Do not be dissuaded.

Dolce Triade.......2007-05-23

After listening to this album, I'm a Dolce Triade fan! I must however admit that the first album eclipses the second, so if you're on a tight budget, stick with the first album.

If only there more more like this.......2006-07-22

Last Exile personally has broken a barrier in music that is insurpassable. It's amazing ability to be intimidation thought provoking and higly energetic is why this CD is so sought after by me.

Like Cowboy Bebop the music in this is always great and never a dull moment. Although the genres differ immensily they both are truly a great ride to hold on to.

Last Exile is especially unique because of the threatening and scary music. Not really scary as in horror but as in full on military advamce and war themes.

There is also a great tone that is used alot in the more relaxed pieces. This reminds me more of Gypsy Caravan and the fiddle and pipe themes. These complement the army music in such a grand way that it becomes an artfrom. Alomst a poetic device because it's singalling the hope for peace in this grand battle field of music.

As a reader you may not truly understand what I am saying to appeal to this album. My critique is unique because this album is and there is no better way to say it then the complicated way that reflects the album.

I waited over a year to get this album and am screaming because it took me so long.

If 5 were perfect this would get 97 stars.

Last Exile, Vol. 2.......2005-01-05

This CD of 20 songs, tells the whole story of Last Exile, in a format that doesn't ruin it for any person. It dramatically brings back moements from the show to allow you to experience the story in a very expressive mode of comunication. There are certain songs that do not fit, but are still apart of the show and needed to be included, just not nessicarilly on this CD. Overall, the CD is worth the time and money spent towards it!

Good introduction to wonderful music, but..........2003-05-15

These marvellous works ought to be in many pianists' repertories; as it is, they mostly get played and recorded by Medtner specialists. Tozer has been recording all of the solo works and much else, and his Chandos set is substantially cheaper than the much-praised Hamelin box on Hyperion. For my money it's marginally better. Tozer can be prosaic, and he simply doesn't have Hamelin's chops (though who does?) But Hamelin is frustratingly uneven; he ruins the lovely second theme in the vernal Op. 11 No. 1, and rushes through the great Op. 22 sonata so that its ironies have little impact. If you can get only one of the sets, I think Tozer gives a better overall impression of Medtner's accomplishment. It's a substantial body of work which deserves to be known by everyone who loves music. Tozer's set also contains more music, though the Op. 40 "Forgotten melodies" are probably the least striking of the three sets. And the Chandos sound is significantly richer and more spacious than the cramped, harsh acoustic of the Hyperion set.

Customer Reviews:

Tozer is brilliant!.......2005-01-19

I am a big fan of Andre-Hamelin and agree that Tozer is lesser-known than Hamelin as a previous reviewer said. But it does not damage the brilliancy of Tozer at all. He has a great sense of structure and his phrasing is luminous. His talent as a virtuosi makes it possible to challenge this extremly difficult works and the result is great. Bravo for Tozer!!

Uknown Greatness!!!!.......2002-05-12

He might not be a very well known composer but I can truly say that these pieces are something beautiful!! I also have the music book of Medtner and its a good workout on the keyboard, he is worth giving a listen, NO DOUBT!!

He's not Marc-André Hamelin.......2000-03-06

Geoffrey Tozer deserves our applause for bringing the solo music of Medtner to our attention in modern times. But the performances on this disc have been superseded by the incredible traversal, in a boxed set, of the sonatas plus other pieces, by Marc-André Hamelin, who is the most amazing pianist in this sort of repertoire before the public today.
