Product Description
Double CD collection for the prog rock vocalist. 'Ballads Collection' features both volumes in one package and the bonus track 'Season's End'. 2000 release. Standard double jewel case.
The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).
This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.
I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.
An added plus is the many other popular pieces that you know you heard but did not realize it was Copland especially the music from movies.
You may have to play the set a few times before being able to recognize the different tracks by name. The down side is many of Copland's works are outside of the date range of this collection.
What amazing riches flowed from Copland's pen during the period covered by these three discs! Billy the Kid (1939), Quiet City (1940), Our Town (1940), Fanfare for the Common Man (1942), Rodeo (1942), Lincoln Portrait (1942), Appalachian Spring (1944), and the Third Symphony (1946)--all are here. Some of this music is so familiar, so deeply ingrained in America's cultural consciousness, that we might be tempted to take it for granted. But imagine how much poorer the American concert repertoire would be without it. It's almost impossible, at this point, to conceive of a time when this wonderful music--which is to America roughly what Mussorgsky's music is to Russia, Grieg's to Norway, and Falla's to Spain--didn't exist. It was during the dozen years covered by this collection that Copland pulled away from the pack of his talented contemporaries (Hanson, Thomson, Harris, etc.) and, in a way, but with greater technical sophistication, filled the void left by the tragically early death of Gershwin, whose heyday, 1924-1935, immediately preceded the composition of the works on this collection.
The ballet music is all presented here in the familiar orchestral suites Copland arranged. Most of the selections are played by the London Symphony Orchestra, although the New Philharmonia and the just-plain Philharmonia get cracks at a few key works. The last-named orchestra, for instance, takes on the biggest piece on the program, Copland's Third, the closest thing American music has to a Beethoven's Ninth (although the work's sublime rhetoric has never completely convinced me--it's neither my personal favorite by Copland nor my favorite American symphony . . . but it sure has its moments). In addition to the fine orchestral playing, another treat is that Henry Fonda narrates the Lincoln Portrait--an almost inevitable pick, given the virtually mythic way his acting style embodied the American spirit and the fact that he had portrayed the sixteenth president in John Ford's classic film Young Mr. Lincoln (1939).
The set concludes with what, over the years, has become my favorite work by Copland, the Concerto for Clarinet, Strings, Harp, & Piano, written for and performed here by surely the last century's greatest clarinetist, Benny Goodman. This work effects a concise synthesis between Copland's mature style and his earlier jazz stylings from the 1920s; in addition, the searing eloquence of the opening slow movement seems to me the most profound lyrical writing Copland ever achieved. Stoltzman's recording, ironically enough, swings harder than the king of swing's, but this collaboration between the composer and the man who commissioned it is for the ages.
The only major "populist" scores written after the period this collection covers are the film scores to The Red Pony (1948) and The Heiress (1949). Both can be acquired on an essential Leonard Slatkin CD for RCA. And since this collection doesn't include chamber music, the great Violin Sonata (1943), a kind of more intimate counterpart to Appalachian Spring, will have to be sought elsewhere. (One good option is Gil Shaham/Andre Previn on DG.) A serious Copland collector will also want to grab the other two volumes of the Copland Collection itself. The early set features important works such as the Organ Symphony (1924), Music for the Theater (1925), and the Short Symphony (1932)--but both of the other collections also include long, thorny pieces like the early Symphonic Ode and the late Connotations that can be rather difficult for the average enthusiast to enjoy.
Most of the essential, universal Copland is to be found on this second installment of the Copland Collection, and I would definitely recommend it as the place to start exploring Copland's magnificent contribution to American music. It has been a wonderful and treasured companion of mine for many years, and it also serves to conjure up a timely and inspiring vision of open prairies, nocturnal cityscapes, and the populist, humane values that America should, ideally, epitomize.
Op. 48 & 7 Lieder, I recently bought. It's such a delight listening to; the lightness, the precision
(and still there is a wonderful and continuous legato), the very selective use of vibrato (and thus
non-vibrato) as a means of expression, the treatment of the text, the perfect bel canto technique... Also my compliments to the excellent pianist, Julius
Drake; again, wonderfully played. Mr. Julias Drake and Mr. Ian Bostridge are a wonderful ensemble. When Mr. Bostridge stops, the singing is seemlessly continued by Mr. Drake.
I did not know Mr. Bostridge as a singer until I started looking for singers who had recorded `Dichterliebe'
and `Liederkreis' (Op. 39 BTW). Listening to a
few samples there conviced me to buy it. I can only say I am very grateful Mr Bostridge made this
recording. It means a great deal to me.
A final note: I firmly disagree with 'not my cup of tea'. I cannot agree with the assertion that
"The interpretation is flat, and does not have the depth that many German singers give to these songs." I own Dichterliebe sung by Quasthoff, Fischer-Dieskau, Fritz Wunderlich and Ian Bostridge (this recording).
By far I like Ian Bostridge's best. The interpretation is very delicate and the opposite of flat I would say. Flat is the interpretation of Quasthoff (although I highly respect him as a singer, but not particularly for his recording of Dichterliebe). The recording of Fischer-Diskau is quite interesting, musically speaking. Technically on the other hand I much prefer Ian Bostridge. Finally, the recordings of F. Wunderlich: I own both his final concert and a studio recording. Although the final concert recording is very bad, musically this one is by far surpassing the studio recording and is worth owning. What goes for the technique of Ian Bostridge goes for Mr. Wunderlich's; just wonderful.
Heinrich Heine, a great German poet who remains highly regarded today, was an inspiration for many Romantic composers. Schubert only set a few of his poems simply because he did not become aware of Heine's work until he was already ill and dying. While Heine was thirteen years older than Schumann, they died the same year. In fact, Heine was born the same year as Schubert, although Schubert was born in January of 1797 and Heine in December.
The songs of opus 24 are about separation and longing. Nothing is ever a straightforward love song. This aching love is what attracted the Romantics. The poems are full of strong, but conflicted emotions and are written in a way that lends them well to musical settings. They tend to be short verses with a declamation that supports a singer's dramatic efforts and allows dramatic additions by the piano.
"Dichterliebe" (Poet's Love) opus 48 is one of the great song cycles ever written, probably after Schubert's masterwork's "Die Schöne Müllerin" and "Winterreise". While Schumann masterfully varies the songs so that it does not have the unremitting chill of Schubert's "Winterreise", it is a song cycle of lost love and ends with a desire for a coffin large enough to contain his love and sorrow.
There are other Schubert songs of Heine poems on this disk other than the two song cycles and they vary about topic, but are all full of drama and story telling of one kind or another. "Belsazar" opus 57 tells a story of the Babylonian king and the writing on the wall. "The Two Grenadiers" tells the story of two French soldiers captured by the Russians, one of whom dreams of fighting for his Emperor from the grave. There are several others.
I am a huge fan of Ian Bostridge. His voice is pure rather than light or colorless. (Colour, I suppose, since he is British.) His singing style is intelligent, very dramatic, and he varies its color depending on his interpretive purposes. He and Mr. Drake put on a wonderful recital of Schubert lieder here in Ann Arbor awhile back. They perform so wonderfully well together and I was surprised at the power, range, and control Mr. Bostridge has with his voice. It was one of the great afternoons of music I have ever experienced.
This is a wonderful CD and I recommend it strongly.
It took me awhile to form an opinion, other than that I was nonplussed. The most famous moment, 'Ich grolle nicht', is a good example of a well-practiced but ultimately boring rendition of music that is simply beyond Bostridge's training or inclination or both. Yes, he hits all the notes with complete security, but there is no thrill, no conviction, no pain. All is very academic, as if grown in a hothouse or nurtured in a cloister. I agree with a previous reviewer that Bostridge's voice is perhaps better-suited to lighter, less passionate material. (I'm not familiar with his other recordings, but I might very much enjoy hearing him sing the music of Harty or Stanford.) His voice is thin, nasal, and with a very narrow color palette. It's a very good voice, but a very studied, calculated one that seems not to have internalized the text. I would prefer a few cracks or idiosyncracies rather than such a bloodless interpretation as this. Drake's accompaniment is a perfect match, and that's not much of a compliment. The recording's engineering is excellent, however.
Those looking for some excellent Schumann would do better to consider Terfel, Fischer-Diskau (despite transposition to lower keys), or the wonderful Wunderlich.
For anyone who isn't thrilled by him, there is an overlapping recital of Schumann's Heine songs--oddly enough, also on EMI--by Thomas Hampson at his very best with Wolfgang Sawallisch as accompanist. For a tenor version sung by someone with a much fuller voice and less mannered approach to the texts, there is Christoph Pregardien on RCA/BMG. Having owned all three, I was happy to toss out this CD.
Dial M For Murder is from the 1993 History of Hitchcock Vol. I, while Strangers on a Train is from 1995's History of Hitchcock Vol. II.
Three tracks originate from 1994's "Music From the Films Of John Wayne". They are "The High and the Mighty", "The Alamo - Overture" and "The Alamo - Green Leaves of Summer".
Red River is from 1996's "How The West Was Won: Classic Western Film Scores Vol. One".
The Thing From Another World suite is from the excelllent 1998 set "Alien Invasion: Space And Beyond II"
Many tracks first appeared on "Way Out West: The Essential Western Film Music Collection Vol. Two". They are: "Duel In The Sun", "The Alamo (Davy Crockett)", "Friendly Persuasion", "Giant (Main Theme)", "Gunfight at the OK Corral", "High Noon", "Rio Bravo", and "The Unforgiven (The Need For Love)".
The rest of the tracks are brand spankin new, and most are not available on other discs, so snag this one up in a hurry!
Combining the best of folk, roots and alt-country/americana, Foucault has utilised both his musical and literary skills to create a new genre all of his own - Kerouacana. Combining his love of Townes Van Vandt and literary interests (how many recording artists web-sites feature a link to the Kenneth Rexroth Archive?) Stripping Cane is a musical tour de force in the spirit of the Beat Generation. Featuring soon-to-be-classics "Bluest Blade", "Northbound 35" and title track "Stripping Cane" , Foucault's lyricism lifts him into a league well above the average journeyman strummer.
Benefitting from David "Goody" Goodrich's production and contributions from Redbird friends Kris Delmhorst and Peter Mulvey, the CD is pretty much filler free (if you ignore "4 and 20 blues"). Highly recommended.
Double CD collection for the prog rock vocalist. 'Ballads Collection' features both volumes in one package and the bonus track 'Season's End'. 2000 release. Standard double jewel case.

A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10
The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).
This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.
I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.
a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15
Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

Aaron Copland made numerous recordings of his own music, including an extensive series for CBS during the 1960s and '70s, mostly with London orchestras. He was not an especially proficient conductor--consequently, the performances he conducted often lacked pace and rhythmic punch. His last recordings of his most popular scores have been reissued by Sony on an exceptionally well-remastered 3-CD set. These accounts do a good job of conveying the overall shape of the pieces, and they deliver telling characterizations of many episodes. Details emerge that are lost in some other accounts, and there is an appealing gentleness and sweetness to the approach. But the readings do not have as much grip as those of Bernstein and Slatkin, among others, and in spite of the authority they automatically possess, they are not necessarily preferable. --Ted LibbeyCustomer Reviews:
Bought this for Concerto for Clarinet.......2007-07-14
An added plus is the many other popular pieces that you know you heard but did not realize it was Copland especially the music from movies.
You may have to play the set a few times before being able to recognize the different tracks by name. The down side is many of Copland's works are outside of the date range of this collection.
Aaron Copland: Populist and Conductor.......2005-03-29
What amazing riches flowed from Copland's pen during the period covered by these three discs! Billy the Kid (1939), Quiet City (1940), Our Town (1940), Fanfare for the Common Man (1942), Rodeo (1942), Lincoln Portrait (1942), Appalachian Spring (1944), and the Third Symphony (1946)--all are here. Some of this music is so familiar, so deeply ingrained in America's cultural consciousness, that we might be tempted to take it for granted. But imagine how much poorer the American concert repertoire would be without it. It's almost impossible, at this point, to conceive of a time when this wonderful music--which is to America roughly what Mussorgsky's music is to Russia, Grieg's to Norway, and Falla's to Spain--didn't exist. It was during the dozen years covered by this collection that Copland pulled away from the pack of his talented contemporaries (Hanson, Thomson, Harris, etc.) and, in a way, but with greater technical sophistication, filled the void left by the tragically early death of Gershwin, whose heyday, 1924-1935, immediately preceded the composition of the works on this collection.
The ballet music is all presented here in the familiar orchestral suites Copland arranged. Most of the selections are played by the London Symphony Orchestra, although the New Philharmonia and the just-plain Philharmonia get cracks at a few key works. The last-named orchestra, for instance, takes on the biggest piece on the program, Copland's Third, the closest thing American music has to a Beethoven's Ninth (although the work's sublime rhetoric has never completely convinced me--it's neither my personal favorite by Copland nor my favorite American symphony . . . but it sure has its moments). In addition to the fine orchestral playing, another treat is that Henry Fonda narrates the Lincoln Portrait--an almost inevitable pick, given the virtually mythic way his acting style embodied the American spirit and the fact that he had portrayed the sixteenth president in John Ford's classic film Young Mr. Lincoln (1939).
The set concludes with what, over the years, has become my favorite work by Copland, the Concerto for Clarinet, Strings, Harp, & Piano, written for and performed here by surely the last century's greatest clarinetist, Benny Goodman. This work effects a concise synthesis between Copland's mature style and his earlier jazz stylings from the 1920s; in addition, the searing eloquence of the opening slow movement seems to me the most profound lyrical writing Copland ever achieved. Stoltzman's recording, ironically enough, swings harder than the king of swing's, but this collaboration between the composer and the man who commissioned it is for the ages.
The only major "populist" scores written after the period this collection covers are the film scores to The Red Pony (1948) and The Heiress (1949). Both can be acquired on an essential Leonard Slatkin CD for RCA. And since this collection doesn't include chamber music, the great Violin Sonata (1943), a kind of more intimate counterpart to Appalachian Spring, will have to be sought elsewhere. (One good option is Gil Shaham/Andre Previn on DG.) A serious Copland collector will also want to grab the other two volumes of the Copland Collection itself. The early set features important works such as the Organ Symphony (1924), Music for the Theater (1925), and the Short Symphony (1932)--but both of the other collections also include long, thorny pieces like the early Symphonic Ode and the late Connotations that can be rather difficult for the average enthusiast to enjoy.
Most of the essential, universal Copland is to be found on this second installment of the Copland Collection, and I would definitely recommend it as the place to start exploring Copland's magnificent contribution to American music. It has been a wonderful and treasured companion of mine for many years, and it also serves to conjure up a timely and inspiring vision of open prairies, nocturnal cityscapes, and the populist, humane values that America should, ideally, epitomize.

The texts used in these 32 songs are all by Heinrich Heine, a miniaturist poet whose unique, characteristic mixture of wistfulness and irony, often tinged with self-pity, was ideal material for the genius of that wistful, ironic musical miniaturist, Robert Schumann. Every lover of Lieder must regret that Franz Schubert did not discover Heine until he was dying and composed only a few Heine songs in his Schwanengesang. But that regret is mitigated by the fact that Schumann gave so much attention to Heine during the brief, intense period when he was focused on songwriting. Dichterliebe is one of the finest song cycles in the German language--surpassed, if at all, only by Schubert's Schoene Muellerin and Winterreise; and the other songs in this collection are comparable in quality. Bostridge's light, expressive voice captures every musical and emotional nuance, and Drake plays masterfully the virtuoso piano part. --Joe McLellanCustomer Reviews:
Delightful Liederkreis & Dichterliebe Schumann.......2007-07-02
Op. 48 & 7 Lieder, I recently bought. It's such a delight listening to; the lightness, the precision
(and still there is a wonderful and continuous legato), the very selective use of vibrato (and thus
non-vibrato) as a means of expression, the treatment of the text, the perfect bel canto technique... Also my compliments to the excellent pianist, Julius
Drake; again, wonderfully played. Mr. Julias Drake and Mr. Ian Bostridge are a wonderful ensemble. When Mr. Bostridge stops, the singing is seemlessly continued by Mr. Drake.
I did not know Mr. Bostridge as a singer until I started looking for singers who had recorded `Dichterliebe'
and `Liederkreis' (Op. 39 BTW). Listening to a
few samples there conviced me to buy it. I can only say I am very grateful Mr Bostridge made this
recording. It means a great deal to me.
A final note: I firmly disagree with 'not my cup of tea'. I cannot agree with the assertion that
"The interpretation is flat, and does not have the depth that many German singers give to these songs." I own Dichterliebe sung by Quasthoff, Fischer-Dieskau, Fritz Wunderlich and Ian Bostridge (this recording).
By far I like Ian Bostridge's best. The interpretation is very delicate and the opposite of flat I would say. Flat is the interpretation of Quasthoff (although I highly respect him as a singer, but not particularly for his recording of Dichterliebe). The recording of Fischer-Diskau is quite interesting, musically speaking. Technically on the other hand I much prefer Ian Bostridge. Finally, the recordings of F. Wunderlich: I own both his final concert and a studio recording. Although the final concert recording is very bad, musically this one is by far surpassing the studio recording and is worth owning. What goes for the technique of Ian Bostridge goes for Mr. Wunderlich's; just wonderful.
Bostridge Good.......2006-11-10
Wonderfully dramatic singing. Both artists perform with intelligence and unity........2005-11-16
Heinrich Heine, a great German poet who remains highly regarded today, was an inspiration for many Romantic composers. Schubert only set a few of his poems simply because he did not become aware of Heine's work until he was already ill and dying. While Heine was thirteen years older than Schumann, they died the same year. In fact, Heine was born the same year as Schubert, although Schubert was born in January of 1797 and Heine in December.
The songs of opus 24 are about separation and longing. Nothing is ever a straightforward love song. This aching love is what attracted the Romantics. The poems are full of strong, but conflicted emotions and are written in a way that lends them well to musical settings. They tend to be short verses with a declamation that supports a singer's dramatic efforts and allows dramatic additions by the piano.
"Dichterliebe" (Poet's Love) opus 48 is one of the great song cycles ever written, probably after Schubert's masterwork's "Die Schöne Müllerin" and "Winterreise". While Schumann masterfully varies the songs so that it does not have the unremitting chill of Schubert's "Winterreise", it is a song cycle of lost love and ends with a desire for a coffin large enough to contain his love and sorrow.
There are other Schubert songs of Heine poems on this disk other than the two song cycles and they vary about topic, but are all full of drama and story telling of one kind or another. "Belsazar" opus 57 tells a story of the Babylonian king and the writing on the wall. "The Two Grenadiers" tells the story of two French soldiers captured by the Russians, one of whom dreams of fighting for his Emperor from the grave. There are several others.
I am a huge fan of Ian Bostridge. His voice is pure rather than light or colorless. (Colour, I suppose, since he is British.) His singing style is intelligent, very dramatic, and he varies its color depending on his interpretive purposes. He and Mr. Drake put on a wonderful recital of Schubert lieder here in Ann Arbor awhile back. They perform so wonderfully well together and I was surprised at the power, range, and control Mr. Bostridge has with his voice. It was one of the great afternoons of music I have ever experienced.
This is a wonderful CD and I recommend it strongly.
Not bad, not good........2005-10-20
It took me awhile to form an opinion, other than that I was nonplussed. The most famous moment, 'Ich grolle nicht', is a good example of a well-practiced but ultimately boring rendition of music that is simply beyond Bostridge's training or inclination or both. Yes, he hits all the notes with complete security, but there is no thrill, no conviction, no pain. All is very academic, as if grown in a hothouse or nurtured in a cloister. I agree with a previous reviewer that Bostridge's voice is perhaps better-suited to lighter, less passionate material. (I'm not familiar with his other recordings, but I might very much enjoy hearing him sing the music of Harty or Stanford.) His voice is thin, nasal, and with a very narrow color palette. It's a very good voice, but a very studied, calculated one that seems not to have internalized the text. I would prefer a few cracks or idiosyncracies rather than such a bloodless interpretation as this. Drake's accompaniment is a perfect match, and that's not much of a compliment. The recording's engineering is excellent, however.
Those looking for some excellent Schumann would do better to consider Terfel, Fischer-Diskau (despite transposition to lower keys), or the wonderful Wunderlich.
My least favorite Liederkreis Op. 24.......2005-09-29
For anyone who isn't thrilled by him, there is an overlapping recital of Schumann's Heine songs--oddly enough, also on EMI--by Thomas Hampson at his very best with Wolfgang Sawallisch as accompanist. For a tenor version sung by someone with a much fuller voice and less mannered approach to the texts, there is Christoph Pregardien on RCA/BMG. Having owned all three, I was happy to toss out this CD.

Dimitri Tiomkin was one of the most prominent composers of Hollywood's Golden Age and beyond, his career spanning a half-century and some of America's most classic films. This sprawling, four-disc anthology (its title a marketing nod to the modern remake of one of Tiomkin's notable collaborations with John Wayne) features new digital recordings of full-bodied performances by the City of Prague Orchestra and Festival Chorus, the most ambitious and comprehensive tribute to the composer yet attempted. There's something here for film score buffs (rarities like a suite from his sci-fi genre-defining Thing From Another World and the "Main Theme" for the pilot of TV's Wild, Wild West) and novice alike; indeed one could scarcely ask for a more complete overview of Tiomkin's robust orchestral oeuvre. Divided into four chapters, disc one chronicles how the Ukrainian immigrant concocted a rich Western film heritage (including such genre landmarks as Red River, High Noon, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and Rio Bravo) from largely European traditions, while the next two CD's cover his rousing work for epics and thrillers of every stripe, and collaborations with Hitchcock, Wayne, Capra, Stevens and more. The concluding disc pays homage to Tiomkin the unlikely pop tunesmith, via his hit vocal themes to Rawhide, Wild is the Wind and High Noon's "Do Not Forsake Me." --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:
More expensive than the other Essential but worth it........2007-04-22
Dial M For Murder is from the 1993 History of Hitchcock Vol. I, while Strangers on a Train is from 1995's History of Hitchcock Vol. II.
Three tracks originate from 1994's "Music From the Films Of John Wayne". They are "The High and the Mighty", "The Alamo - Overture" and "The Alamo - Green Leaves of Summer".
Red River is from 1996's "How The West Was Won: Classic Western Film Scores Vol. One".
The Thing From Another World suite is from the excelllent 1998 set "Alien Invasion: Space And Beyond II"
Many tracks first appeared on "Way Out West: The Essential Western Film Music Collection Vol. Two". They are: "Duel In The Sun", "The Alamo (Davy Crockett)", "Friendly Persuasion", "Giant (Main Theme)", "Gunfight at the OK Corral", "High Noon", "Rio Bravo", and "The Unforgiven (The Need For Love)".
The rest of the tracks are brand spankin new, and most are not available on other discs, so snag this one up in a hurry!

"film composer Dimitri Tiomkin gave his all and then some".......2004-07-13
Tiomkin was born in Ukraine, Russia [1894-1979] attended and graduated from St. Petersburg Academy[studied under the famed composer Glazunov] ~ had a degree in music as well as law ~ came to America in 1925, shown great interest for Native American music early in his film career.
Great fondness for "The Western" ~ "DUEL IN THE SUN" (1946) (Gregory Peck, Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotton, Lionel Barrymore, Lilian Gish and Charles Bickford - one of biggest and successful epic Westerns ever, score & photography was simply breathtaking), "RED RIVER" (1948) (John Wayne, Monty Cliff and Walter Brennan - the Duke should have won an Oscar for his performance as the aging cantankerous cattle baron)"HIGH NOON" (1952)(classic film with Gary Cooper in his Oscar winning performance of Will Kane), "TENSION AT TABLE ROCK" (1956), "GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL" (1957)(Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp & Kirk Douglas as Doc Holliday pulled this off with the help of the Main Theme), "NIGHT PASSAGE" (1957), "RIO BRAVO" (1959) (top box office leaders John Wayne, Dean Martin, Walter Brennan and Ricky Nelson), "THE YOUNG LAND" (1959) (young Dennis Hopper), "RAWHIDE" (TV Series) (1959-66) (Eric Fleming as trail boss Gil Favor & Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates), "THE UNFORGIVEN" (1960) (Burt Lancaster, Audie Murphy and Audrey Hepburn), "THE WILD, WILD WEST" (TV Series) (1965-69)(Tiomkin's music never saw the light of day), "WAR WAGON" (1967) (John Wayne & Kirk Douglas starred) (beautifully melodic) ~ it's easy to see why Tiomkin loved Western lore.
Second disc contains The Epics ~ "LAND OF THE PHARAOHS" (1955) (Jack Hawkins as Pharaoh Cheops and a beautiful Joan Collins as his scheming wife), "55 DAYS AT PEKING" (1963) (Charlton Heston, David Niven and Ava Gardner is the all star cast), "THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE" (1964) (featuring Alec Guinness as emperor Marcus Aurelius), "CIRCUS WORLD" (1964) (John Wayne, Claudia Cardinale and Rita Hayworth under the big top) ~ next we Hitchcock Thrillers with "STRANGERS ON A TRAIN" (1951) (a masterpiece film featuring Robert Walker and Farley Granger are both very convincing as we learn, never talked to strangers on a train or anywhere), "DIAL M FOR MURDER" (1954) (tense moments come from Grace Kelly, Ray Milland and Robert Cummings - they don't get any better than this) ~ finally Drama and High Adventure with "HIGH AND MIGHTY" (1954) (another outstanding performance by John Wayne, as the co-pilot of an airline whistling the haunting theme), "GIANT" (1956)(another big epic film with Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean and Chill Wills show us what it's like to be a Texan, with oil and money), "WILD IS THE WIND" (1957) (Anthony Quinn, Anna Magnani and Anthony Franciosa), "THE GUNS OF NAVARONE" (1961) (World War II film featuring Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, David Niven and Stanley Baker on a small Greek Island trying to outwit the Germans and a very big gun) ~ some of Tiomkin's most inspiring themes rise to the surface.
On disc three ~ as we continue with Drama and High Adventures "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" (1946) (James Stewart, Donna Reed, Thomas Mitchell, Lionel Barrymore and Ward Bond with wholesome warm and endearing themes from our favorite composer), "TARZAN AND THE MERMAIDS" (1948) (in his 12th film as Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller still had what it takes to swim and defeat the man-god Balu - Weissmuller and Tiomkin the perfect combination for this Tarzan adventure), "CYRANO DE BERGERAC" (1950) (Jose Ferrer stars as Edmond Rostand's famous swordsman with a even more famous nose), "THE WELL" (1951) (intense cues give the film musical triumphs in final scenes), "THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD" (1951) (exciting Howard Hawks film with a score to match), "FRIENDLY PERSUASION" (1956) (director William Wyler shows the life and times of a Quaker family played by Gary Cooper, Dorothy Mcguire and Anthony Perkins during the American Civil War, very touching), "THE ALAMO" (1960) (big budget epic western with Big John Wayne it's producer, director and star as Davy Crockett with a haunting and never to be forgotten "The Green Leaves of Summer"), "TOWN WITHOUT PITY" (1961) (Kirk Douglas in a post-war Germany story, blends jazz themes with Tiomkin signature arrangements) ~ Tiomkin always made the difference when it came to scoring a film.
The last and final disc four ~ The Tiomkin Vocal Songbook featuring "This Then is Texas" (Giant), "Rawhide" (Rawhide), "Do Not Forsake Me" (High Noon), "Follow the River" (Night Passage), "The Ballad of Jett Rink" (Giant), "Thee I Love" (Friendly Percuasion), "It's A Wonderful Life", "Wild Is The Wind", "The High and the Mighty", The Ballad of the War Wagon" (The War Wagon), "Rio Bravo", "Strange are the Ways of Love" (The Young Land), "The Ballad of Jim West" (The Wild Wild West), "The Wild Wild West" (The Wild Wild West) ~ many were hit makers of the day and in the top ten.
Outstanding performances by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (Nic Raine, Paul Bateman, Mario Klemens - are the conductors), Crouch End Festival Chorus (David Temple - choir master), featuring vocals by Jason Howard and Keith Ferreira ~ hats off to James Fitzpatrick (producer), Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Olilvia Tiomkin Douglas, John Waxman, Rick Clark and Gareth Williams (associate producers) ~ all film producers and directors welcomed the legendary composer with open arms for their forthcoming projects ~ the "film-score-buff" collectors are ecstatic about this four disc release on the essential film music collection of DIMITRI TIOMKIN, the arrangements and performances are top notch inclusive of HDCD/Dolby Surround.
When listening to the music of a film, you had the feeling of the storyline, characters and convictions of the whole picture, they'll never be another to come this way again ~ Silva America has outdone themselves on this one, it is definitely a five star film score box set...gotta love it!
Total Time: 4-CD-Set ~ Silva America 811 ~ (7/13/2004)

Inventing Keroucana.......2004-08-18
Combining the best of folk, roots and alt-country/americana, Foucault has utilised both his musical and literary skills to create a new genre all of his own - Kerouacana. Combining his love of Townes Van Vandt and literary interests (how many recording artists web-sites feature a link to the Kenneth Rexroth Archive?) Stripping Cane is a musical tour de force in the spirit of the Beat Generation. Featuring soon-to-be-classics "Bluest Blade", "Northbound 35" and title track "Stripping Cane" , Foucault's lyricism lifts him into a league well above the average journeyman strummer.
Benefitting from David "Goody" Goodrich's production and contributions from Redbird friends Kris Delmhorst and Peter Mulvey, the CD is pretty much filler free (if you ignore "4 and 20 blues"). Highly recommended.
An immense young talent..........2004-08-17
