Customer Vivaldi: Il Cimento Dell'Armonia / Biondi, Europa Galante Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A Glorious Four
There are a few recordings of this by-now "chestnut" that stand out in a field of available CDs that never seems to stop growing. Harnancourt's on Teldec is one, and this new entry by Fabio Biondi easily belongs in this select company. If you think you're overly familiar with this music, listen to this performance and be prepared for a revelation. Biondi did similar fine work in Vivaldi's Op. 3. The other concertos in this current Op. 8 are no less exciting: beautifully performed and recorded.

Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs  (1989) Box Set

Vivaldi: Il Cimento Dell'Armonia / Biondi, Europa Galante
CD $38.09  4.5 stars Audio Samples
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 box contains nearly five wall-to-wall hours of great music. By including everything from early demos to Gregg Allman and Dickie Betts' solo material, DREAMS does a great job of tracing the group's musical evolution from hippie blues band to kings of Southern rock. And, while the unreleased studio version of "Statesboro Blues" included here isn't definitive, it's still mighty good-as are the set's other rarities. Start your Allman Brothers collection with THE FILLMORE CONCERTS; if that grabs you, DREAMS should also find a welcome place on your CD shelf. Personnel includes: Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts (vocals, guitar); Duane Allman (guitar, dobro, background vocals); Paul Hornsby, Scott Boyer, Elvin Bishop, Tommy Talton, Steve Beckmeier, Rickey Hirsch, John Hug, Dan Toler (guitar); John Hughley (steel guitar); Tom Doucette (harmonica); Steve Madaio, Pat Rizzo, Dave Luell (horns); Steve Miller, Chuck Leavell (piano); Dale Betts, Neil Larson (keyboards); Reese Wynans (organ); Bob Keller, Pete Carr, David Brown, Berry Oakley, Lamar Williams, Willie Weeks, Ken Tibbets, David Goldflies (bass

Vivaldi: Il Cimento Dell'Armonia / Biondi, Europa Galante
CD $10.89
This selection received a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Orchestral Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony is one of the most intense emotional statements in all of music. One almost has to be reminded that it is not just an extemporaneous outpouring of feeling, but also a well-built piece: for instance, that the heart-stopping panic attack in the first movement is not just hysteria but also the beginning of the development section. Of course one can never forget the fact that Tchaikovsky died days after the premiere in circumstances that at least suggest willful surrender if not suicide. Valery Gergiev may be the most emotional of conductors, often giving the appearance of improvising his interpretations on the spot out of thin air, and his results in this music are hugely satisfying--if that's the right word for music that if played well, as here, should leave you shattered. The performance never falls into mere routine and the Kirov Orchestra responds glowingly. Then, if you're up for more, there's a most involving account of the 'Romeo and Juliet' Fantasy Overture that will leave you shattered all over again. American Record Guide (5-6/00, pp.210-11) - "Gergiev hits a solid home run with this disc....his 'Pathetique' is a direct, powerful, fiery tra- versal with excellent dramatic instincts....[his] passionate, tempestuous 'Romeo and Juliet'....strikes at the very core of the emotions..." Performance." Kirov Orchestra Valery Gergiev,Conductor REVIEWS:

Prodigal Son Vol. 1-Old Masters Revisited CD  (2006)

Vivaldi: Il Cimento Dell'Armonia / Biondi, Europa Galante
CD $10.15
Prodigal Son has been a producer for over eight years. His journey started in the advertising industry producing radio and TV commercials. He went on to produce hip hop music which over time evolved across all the musical genres. Today Prodigal Son resides in Belize where he has just completed his album titled " Old Masters Revisited Vol. 1" which features original music compositions form old masters such as Mozart, Debussy, Beethoven and Bach just to name a few. His prospective on old masters works are interesting not only for it's contemporary vision but also for his unique rearrangements of old Masters compositions, at the same time, respecting the standing integrity which the old classical masters always represented. Prodigal Son is a student of the classics and his arrangements have made a stir through out the classical world. "Old Masters Revisited Vol.1" released on the 1 st June of this year has contemporary composers eagerly awaiting this artist's next presentation.
