Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12
Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20
Frank's view.......2006-08-19
Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08
The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!
I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.
The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Celine Dion's straight-from-the-heart, sincerity-stung singing, woven together with Anne Geddes' visual gifts, perform a neat symbiotic trick. If you never quite got Geddes' photographs (not everyone can find artistic merit in lineups of sleepyheaded newborns dressed as bumblebees), or if Celine's vocals seemed over-the-top emotional, this package irons out the separate but unsinkable appeal of both artists with drawstring-like efficiency. On the DVD, Celine's vocals are the musical equivalent of comfort food, zapping the weirdness out of the babies-as-blooms sequences with raw maternal warmth. And Geddes' playful images--the title track tucks a newborn into a lotus leaf, and "What a Wonderful World" blazes to life in bouquets of red rose bonnets--leavens Celine's swollen-hearted delivery with whimsy. Miracle's subtitle is A Celebration of New Life, and while Geddes and Dion go at it with opposite M.O.s, they meet in the middle with a box set to be prized for its exploration of the shades of a parent's love. There are a couple of reasons not to keep this package cribside, though: For one, the urge to stare dreamily at a sleeping newborn while Celine's stunning rendition of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" plays notwithstanding, her note-pounding delivery is at times un-lullaby-like. For another, the images gathered in the 57-page booklet that accompanies the DVD and CD are too captivating to risk dampening with drool. --Tammy La GorceAlbum Description
"The CD box set includes a 60 page version of the 180-page book, "Miracle : A Celebration of New Life," the "Miracle" cd, and a "Making of the CD" dvd."Customer Reviews:
A Beautiful Miracle.......2006-08-27
I hate it !.......2005-10-11
and WHEN we'll be set free to listen to real music...
We all are so tired of her !
If you love Geddes, consider upgrading your purchase.......2004-11-30
I had hoped the DVD might focus on how Geddes took the photos, but alas, it was a very high level overview. It focused mainly on how Geddes & Dion met, discussions around how the concept for the album/book evolved and some cute stories about all the babies that peed on Dion during the shoots.
Overall, this would make a nice gift, but if you can afford it, I'd recommend getting the larger book instead.
Weak, self-serving, waterd-down "art".......2004-11-20
And "Oh Joy" we get some songs from Ms. Dion. Why don't you just drive the knife just a little bit deeper into my sense of good taste?
I hope Ms. Geddes and Ms. Dion are happy with their work. I am sure this "book" will be bought by the masses of people who fall for packaged art simply because it has names that have been forced upon us. Open your eyes and see this for what it really is. A vehicle to capitalize on two watered-down artists who would sell their names to anyone for the right price
Very emotional combination of image and that "voice".......2004-10-27
If you are sensitive enough you'll feel the love in Celine's voice and it will make you feel good even if you are crying for the emotion. CD and book won't dissapoint you.
note:
For a fan, I think this is the best format out of the 3, because you get all the Celine pictures out of the book, the CD and the DVD.

Black Box LOL.......2003-10-21
Great Writers...Awesome Singer.......2002-02-03
Dance Music Par Excellance.......2001-04-29
I realize the wonderful vocalist did not authorize her tracks to be used. Well, I'm not privy to all the hi-jinks. But, apparently there were many. At any rate, the woman can sing. She can soar with her voice. She makes the songs. So, Miss Diva, if they did they did wrong by you (and I don't know the story, I'm just a music lover), you still sound incredible. I don't think this is a reason to pass up on one of the best dance albums made. The woman's voice is one-in-a-lifetime and the band is awesome, too. I guess there is a lot of drama behind the scenes those not in the biz don't really know about. We hear the music. But, I know it is a tough biz.
Black Box featuring Loleatta Holloway and Martha Wash.......2000-09-01
They had three hits on Billboard Hot 100:
song;date of entry;# weeks on chart; highest position
1 Everybody Everybody; 08-04-1990; 19; 8;
2 I Don't Know Anybody Else; 12-08-1990; 14; 23;
3 Strike It Up; 04-06-1991; 18; 8
"Ride On Time" is a classic. . .
Who is the girl on the cover on the album "Dreamland? It's NOT one of the singers! But she's pretty hot!!
