Chopin: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2
 $38.09   
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson.
Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift to hardcore fans that, say, THE BOOTLEG SERIES is to Dylan-philes.
DREAMS' strengths are considerable. First and foremost, the ...
| | Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-74) CDs (1990)
Chopin: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2
$15.95 
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos.
This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased cuts and singles. From the classic anthem "Pickin' Up the Pieces," which kicks things off, through "You Better Think Twice," "C'mon," "Kind Woman," "From the Inside," "A Good Feelin' to Know," "Crazy Eyes," and on and on, this is wonderful music, ahead of its time in many ways. If Poco had arrived on the scene in the early '90s, they would have been kings of the country charts. Of course, without Poco, country music wouldn't have taken on the rock trappings that it did in the '80s and '90s. As it was, the band was considered too ...

Chopin: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2
$14.75
Famed Brit composer Dave Heath decided to compose this work for Evelyn Glennie after seeing her perform in 1993. In the middle of her marimba and vibes performance, she announced she was "wild at heart" and took to playing a trap kit at a hundred miles an hour, forcing rhythms to overlap and collide against one another before resuming her set. This impressed Heath mightily, and he went out to create a work where she could utilize that aspect of her talent. This work, African Sunrise/Manhattan Rave, which incorporates numerous new places for the orchestra, is the result. The disc opens with Darkness to Light (Light Section), a beautiful duet between Glennie on marimba and Philip Smith's piano. It's lyrically gorgeous, full of a rhapsodic quality that ill-prepares the listener for the thunderclap that opens African Sunrise. The thunderstorm and rain that appear in the shape of the orchestral timbres focusing on Glennie's vibes and marimbas are spare, and so are her lines in response. They intertwine as if in the predawn, when the sounds of the forest are still static, just beginning to rustle and speak to one another. Just before the midpoint in this work, Glennie's vibes come into full speaking mode and the orchestra colors them slowly, deliberately, and purposefully. Heath invokes Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring for two measures before moving into full harmonic counterpoint with Glennie's instruments. Before the work ends, we encounter a fully awakened forest, full of language, color, and sound. In Manhattan Rave, the simulated sounds of a nightclub are placed in the wake of both Glennie and the orchestra. There is a drummer playing a trap kit, but it's not her. She makes the piece happen, quite literally, on trash. Her instruments: two sticks, some oilcans, and an assortment of bottles and pans. The orchestra acts as the sampled riff that the rhythm is layered on top of. It plays maybe three lines throughout in various cadences, and Glennie does her best percussion freakout. It truly is an amazing work, capable of raising the dead while remaining somehow "accessible." Dawn of a New Age features John Harle playing soprano in tandem with Glennie's percussive stylings. It has a kind of "mystical" beginning that is sparse and somber. It gives way to a Celtic-sounding melody that is resounded by the vibes. In the second movement, Smith enters with the piano and moves into a funkier, dirtier groove that is, at least in his stilted manner, reminiscent of house music. Thank God for Glennie's ability to take on both Smith and Harle and fill the repeated phrases with groove on her trashy percussion set. The end of the CD is the night section of Darkness to Light. This is ambience via percussion, and it works. Both Glennie and Smith cover territory that allows for the spaces to speak for themselves. This is ...
