Not the best........2005-03-02

I bought this CD with high hopes. I absolutely loved the first one, the one recorded live. This one was a disappointment though. The guys songs are good and their voices are in good form but it was missing something...feeling, I guess. The live concert version can make me cry and laugh it's so sung with feeling, but this is just singing. I just felt it lacked feeling. I guess that's why I was disappointed with it.

What a magnificent Heritage.......2005-01-22

I highly recommend this album to all fans of Irish music. This is the last album with Ronan as a memember and it is one of their best. Ronan's "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen" is wonderful, so too is Finbarr's "South of the Border". The theme from the Titanic "My Heart Will Go On" is the best version since Celine Dione's. My favorite track is Anthony's "The West's Awake" . One point to note is that this group is one of the few out there who can perform live with an equally good recorded sound. Having listened to them at Meadowbrook NH the night of Ronan's farewell I can assure you that live or recorded they have a fantastic sound. I highly recommend this CD to all fans of Irish music.

A Review .......2004-10-30

I have never really been a fan of Traditional Irish Music and had never even HEARD of the Irish Tenors....That is until a friend of mine introduced me to the recording of "Live In Belfast" Instantly, I was hooked. I have become addicted to a lot of these songs. Especially the goofier ones they sing. like "Phil the Fluther" and "Courtin in the Kitchen" When Heritage was released I was estatic....As I had loved all the songs they had released before. Even though they recycled some of their songs. I loved the way they re recorded "Red Is The Rose" with Finbar in place of John and also "Fields Of Athenry" I Found this version to be better than the other one. I found it really bizare that they would sing "My Heart Will Go On" as that is not an Irish Song...Ireland was where the Titanic sank. but still. I really enjoyed listening to it. "South of the Boarder" and "Golden Jubilee" along with "Little Brigid Flynn" were quite entertainingly cute. I really enjoyed Anthony's "The West's Awake" and "The Parting Glass" and "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls" I would, too also love to see Anthony put out a solo album.

Heritage, The Irish Tenors.......2004-09-30

This is another delightful effort by Anthony, Finbar and Ronan.
My favorite songs were "Off to Philadephia" (Anthony) and "My Heart Will Go On" (Finbar). I didn't even mind the repetition of some songs heard on past CDs - but wondered about it, until I learned of the departure of Ronan Tynan. I am curious to see the kind of arrangements they have included on their new CD, due to come out later this year, which they made upon the return of John McDermott. John is a Canadian of Celtic descent, whose voice, though pleasant in a folksy way, does not seem to blend as well with Anthony and Finbar as did Ronan's trained vocals. I would be very pleased to see Anthony make a solo CD, including such ballads as (my all-time favorite) Bantry Bay and some of the wonderfully playful Irish ditties he sometimes performs at his solo concerts.

Tattered Tenors.......2004-08-20

When the Irish Tenors burst upon the public scene not too many years ago, they were heralded as a refreshing change in the sea of musical mediocrity. The original trio of McDermott, Kearns and Tynan thrilled us with their exuberance and vocal virtuosity and frankly, I miss that. (Please note: since I originally wrote this review the threesome has changed to McDermott, Kearns and Wright with Tynan having left the group).

As one of their latest efforts, "Heritage" is an "okay" album, but it certainly lacks the freshness and fun of the Irish Tenors' earlier efforts. Of course, there are notable exceptions such as Kearns' roguish "Off to Philadelphia", the sprightly "Golden Jubilee" and the beautiful "The West's Awake" solo by Kearns. Wright's "Little Brigid Flynn" is downright fun but his "South of the Border" is oddly out of place. With too many recycled songs and a little too little Anthony Kearns, I personally found "Heritage" to be the weakest effort in the generally stellar Irish Tenors' discography.

Six Decades of Film Music.......2007-05-13

This is film music for the classical music lover. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra presents excellent arrangements of a number of classic film themes (although several pieces of the 56 film classics selected for this 4 CD set are not orchestral arrangements, but rather specialty arrangements). Besides great film composers such as John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone, and James Horner, classical composers such as Richard Strauss and Pietro Mascagni make an appearance. On several of the numbers the Crouch End Festival Chorus adds the human voice to the power of the full symphonic orchestra to create true movie magic. If you like the sound of a full symphony orchestra playing some of the most recognized themes ever written, you'll love these CDs.

Excellent collection with fine performances.......2007-03-28

Silva Screen Records, based in England, has been issuing some fine collections of film scores, more in one box than we have the right to expect. This four-CD box contains scores by many of the best writers, including Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Dimitri Tomkin, Kenneth J. Alford (The Bridge on the River Kwai), Elmer Bernstein, Maurice Jarre, Ennio Marricone, John Barry, Nino Rota, John Williams, James Horner, and more. We can all think of additional film scores we wished were included, but then there's no way this collection could be all-inclusive. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, supplemented by Crouch End Festival Chorus on some numbers, does a very competent job...The liner notes give the basic information without any commentary, and as far as I can see, contain only one error. Am I wrong or are tracks 9 and 10 on the fourth CD mislabeled? Track 9, which runs 7:33, seems to have the excitement of "Pirates of the Caribbean" (which I did not see) and track 10, which runs 4:22, the more sedate "The Girl with the Pearl Earring (which I also did not see). Listings seem to have them reversed.

"essential film scores from 1939 to 2004 ~ Incredible Music".......2005-05-16

When I think of the "Golden Age" of Hollywood, many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "The Incredible Film Music Box", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades from 1939 through and up to the present 2004

There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classic that even the youngsters today recognize "GONE WITH THE WIND" (1939) (Max Steiner), sweeping score that captures the tragic history of the South during the Civil War, one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this, nominated by the Academy for Best Original Score...and closing on Disc 4 with "THE INCREDIBLES" (2004) (Michael Giacchino), the big hit in computer animation from Walt Disney & Pixar that once again pit Super-Heroes against the forces of evil...our family of five Supers prove crime doesn't pay, but box-office receipts do...gotta love it!

Silva Screen Classics as usual, has put quality into this 4-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Bill Ashton, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens, Derek Wadsworth, and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come.

Some selections are missing, but when you think of what Silva has included, it is impossible to please everyone...was happy to see "TOUCH OF EVIL" (1958) from composer Henry Mancini, as I feel this composer deserves all the recognition that has been overlooked recently in the music world...This collection is aimed directly at the "Serious Film Score" music fans and collectors...Silva is as always, perfect in every way...just the way we like 'em!

Rocky Road (The Young Dubliners).......2005-09-01

personaly growing up my father listend to the young dubliners alot, this cd is my own personal favorite.

Not the best, but definitely precognitive........2005-03-06

I'm qualifying this by noting that this is an EP, and it's a first effort by a band that's grown to become truly great. Diehard fans of the Dubs definitely need to lay their hands on this, but for someone just getting introduced, any other album would be a better choice.

There are two wonderful songs on here - "Ashley Falls" and "Rocky Road." The title cut, in fact, is one of the best Dubs songs live or recorded, and "Ashley Falls" is your typical, enjoyable Dubs instrumental. There's no lack of "Irishness" here, and I'm not sure how anyone can listen to Keith's vocals on the title cut and not realize where he comes from (along with Bren, but bass doesn't exactly have an accent).

Many Dubs fans will drool over this album. Frankly, and I say this with full love for the guys and respect for their talent and what they've grown to become, I don't see it. What I see, instead, is an uneven album with flashes of brilliance and a definite starting point for future greatness. It's worth picking up if you already love the band, and it sounds lovely if you don't take the EP as anything other than the foundation of something good. On its own, despite the inclusion of Lovely Previn on fiddle and the good vocals, it just doesn't stand up to later efforts.

But hey, it's the first CD. I can give them a pass on this one. Fine wines aren't any good when they're first pressed, either.

Must have.......2003-08-31

Although it was one of their earlier releases, I didn't buy it until recently. I already have all their other cd's, which I love, so I figured I better get this one as well. What a great idea! I love this cd! You can tell that they love what they do and I know that a lot of people appreciate that! They are all amazing and very talented guys and I am so glad I bought it, finally!
If anyone has not seen them live, I would definitely go do that as soon as possible!

Fun loving band! A must have!!!.......2001-05-20

Rocky Road as well as "Red" and "Breath" are a must have to any CD collection. This band has personality, spunk, and all the members are extremely talented. Buy it today, you'll be glad you did. Also, find out when they are playing near you, and see them live. You'll be hooked like I am. : )

Good News/Bad News.......2002-06-16

I'm glad that One Way Records saw fit to release so many Ventures' albums on CD, but the 3 bonus tracks are the best songs on this compilation. "Theme From Shaft" is a good album by the Ventures, though hardly essential. It pretty much sticks to their formula of covering hits of the day, such as "Peace Train" and "Never My Love," as well as including some original instrumentals. "Rocky Road" is credited to the New Ventures. It's a disco album and, in my opinion, the worst album ever associated with the Ventures. I don't know how they were talked into doing this album, regardless of how popular disco was. I'm sure that this album alienated their older fans, and I doubt that many people looking for disco albums at that time would buy a record by the Ventures, old or new.

Album Description

Import only Three-Disc, 64-track collection. The folk revival that took place during the Sixties introduced a whole new audience to traditional folksong, while also bringing to the fore the concept of the earnest young singer/songwriter. Given the grassroots nature of the movement, it was inevitable that the various regions would throw up their own local heroes. In Ireland, the ceilidh bands and balladeers that had always been at the heart of the indigenous music scene continued to be a popular attraction. However, they were joined by a new wave of acts with broader appeal. The Dubliners quickly moved from the local clubs and bars to become the public face of Irish folk, while family-based groups like the Johnstons, the Ludlows and the Fureys achieved considerable success with their own take on the genre. Featuring typically perceptive liners from noted Irish commentator Paddy Murphy, The Rocky Road To Dublin stretches all the way from the legendary playwright and songwriter Dominic Behan to psychedelic folk avatars Sweeney's Men for a definitive look at the Irish folk scene of the Sixties. Castle. 2006.

Best Irish record you've never heard.......2000-03-13

I found this CD some years ago when I was searching for Irish tunes to add to my repertoire. Given the LaserLine label and low price, I didn't expect much, but even now, it's one of the best Irish records in my collection. Besides excellent musicianship, the Kings Galliard offer top-flight arrangements that are well crafted and executed, but never stiff or overdone. I agree with another reviewer that The Maid From Amsterdam is a misstep of sorts -- it's not bad, but it's an odd choice. My only real quarrel is the track titles, which list only the first tune of each set. Standout tracks include O'Carolan's Dream (followed by The Rakes of Kildare and The Ten Penny Bit) and the title track (followed by Cooley's Reel).

Best Irish Instrumental.......1999-05-04

In my relentless search for the best pure Irish instrumental music, I finally lit upon this remarkable CD. I'm sorry Chieftans and Bothy Band, neither of you have recorded an album of this caliber. Absolutely the best violin/flute interplays of any Celtic music I have ever heard. There is one bummer on the CD however, and that is the only vocal, a sea chanty called "The Maid from Amsterdam". Perhaps my aversion to this song on this album is personal. When I was a child, my Dad had an LP of sea chanties sung by renown baritone, Leonard Wilson, and Maid from Amsterdam was one of the songs. My advice to King's Galliard is let a master like Leonard Warren sing songs, and you guys stick to your instrumentals, as good or better than anybody in Irish music.
