(Out on a limb? The greatest Jazz album?) 『I've argued this is the greatest jazz album while conceding there are many perfect works - Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" at the top.
Simply, if there's one album I'd put in a time capsule that could teach distant generations what jazz is and how to play it - this is it. Power, tenderness, bravado and swing. Each instrument is showcased by virtuoso artists. How do you play jazz violin? Trumpet? And Muted? Sax? Clarinet? Baritone sax? Drums? Bass? Piano (well, Ellington)? Compositions of genius. From this seed, the entire artform could be reborn. So if greatness serves these virtues as well as pleasure, I'm sure Miles would be okay with the silver medal. 』
(Shakespeare would've loved it) 『Be jealous of me - I own CD Col 469140 2, which was an earlier reissue that I bought somewhere in Europe. Needless to say, it has the right take of Up And Down...Look for it! This is Duke and Billy's finest writing together - from the swagger of the title track, with its hidden references to Birmingham Breakdown and Jumpin' Punkins, and its use of Duke's "African" motto theme (check out Dance #5 from Liberian Suite) to the very particular decadent elegance of Lady Mac (note the use of Procope's alto). And then one of Duke's very best usages of Clark Terry in that great piece of musical humor, Up And Down, and his best - ever piece for Cat Anderson, the stunning Madness in Great Ones - one of Duke's most "cutting edge" pieces (though I have to admit I don't love the climax - it feels a little overblown). It seems that no one but myself has ever heard some slight nods towards Gil Evans in this suite. Something in the very particular transparency of the scoring - the lightness of the brass writing. Some sonorities...I could see them feeling it. But whatever, this is a masterpiece. One should expect nothing less from Duke, although now that we're living in the age of Ellington hagiography, where (albeit brilliant) sketches like Afro - Eurasian Eclipse are treated like the second coming of Ko-Ko, I think the critical standard is a little low in general. But put that all aside - this CD is a triumph.』
(Ellington and the Bard) 『 This is Duke Ellington's suite in tribute to Shakespeare. Most of the selections are inspired by a particular character (Othello, Caesar, Henry V, for example), and most feature the work of a particular band member. SONNET TO HAND CINQ features Britt Woodman's trombone to good effect; LADY MAC, a waltz and one of the best tunes in the suite, has excellent Clark Terry work; CIRCLE OF FOURTHS, the only track that is taken up-tempo, has a good Paul Gonsalves solo. The most famous selection is STAR-CROSSED LOVERS and features Johnny Hodges on alto in a beautiful solo. Other musicians featured are Harry Carney on THE TELECASTERS and Quentin Jackson on trombone in SONNET FOR SISTER KATE. The music in this suite is introspective for the most part and highly personal; how connected it is to anything Shakespearean is up for debate. The better pieces are quite attractive; it's the kind of music Ellington hoped to be remembered for.』
(Perhaps Duke Ellington's Most Intriguing Suite...) 『This review is an excerpt from my "So You'd Like To..." guide called, "Explore the Music of Duke Ellington: Part I."
Classically inspired, Such Sweet Thunder, also known as The Shakespearean Suite, is an intriguing work for those who have affinity toward classical music. The songs are dedicated to the characters from Shakesphere's plays, and some of the outstanding pieces are the solemn "Sonnet for Caesar" with its tragic ending, the delightful "Lady Mac" who enjoys a bit of ragtime, and Clark Terry's trumpet goes "Up and Down, Up and Down" as Puck who laughs at the world. Billy Strayhorn's "Pretty Girl" was adopted into the suite and entitled, "The Star-Crossed Lovers." With its fluttering notes, the sudden opening by Ellington on the piano lifts the mind right up to the state of high drama and romantic tragedy. Paul Gonzalves plays the part of Romeo. Known for his sensuous phrases and the purest of tone, the peerless Johnny Hodges plays with all the love and heartache that Juliet feels. Ellington ends on the very same notes as the opening and, as Bill Berry in the liner notes put it perfectly, "It leaves one suspended."』 『Such Sweet Thunderwas, likeBlack, Brown and Beigeand the laterFar East Suiteand other works of the late-1950s and on, a long-form study broken into identifiable miniatures that could stand alone as tunes. But this one was far more unlikely than Ellington and cocomposer Billy Strayhorn's other suites, with its focus on characters developed by William Shakespeare. Pieces were scripted for both centuries-old charactersandEllington band members; for example, Paul Gonsalves's tenor sax and Johnny Hodges's alto parry as a musical Romeo and Juliet on "Star-Crossed Lovers." Surely this description of the CD makes it sound stiff, even pretentious, but the music gives the lie to such an assumption. Ellington was a master of sectional polyphony, making sure his band's sections swung individually and then in tandem with the other sections, creating a powerful, sometimes swirling swing. But he had Strayhorn, who was also a master of creating moods and ambient textures. And that's where this session becomes fascinating, in the moments when the group creates something other than rhythmic propulsion, standard harmony, or even focused melody. Rounding out the original LP issue--which accounts for only half of this CD's length--are a host of alternate takes, three of them wholly or partially unreleased until this set.--Andrew Bartlett』

The album makes you fall in love with the saxaphone, and most of the songs are worth listening to. After listening to this album, Boney James became one of the artists whose work I search for consistently.』
(Boney, but PHAT...) 『The true mark of a superior recording (album) is that every cut on it is a winner. No exceptions here. I have a lot of Boney's materials loaded into the changers of my vehicles as I spend a lot of time on the road in the Tri State Area (Ca-Az-Nv). Nothing soothes the soul on the road like good music, and his material is GREAT. You can't go wrong with virtually anything he does, but this one in particular stands out, or should I say, "outstanding"? Either way, you win.』
(Smooth Jazz at its best.........) 『Boney James is the reigning "King of Smooth Jazz". He was influenced by one the greatest jazz musicians of all time in Grover Washington Jr. So there should be no surprise why this LP is a precious jewel to own. Modern day jazz classics like "East Bay", "Words" (Unspoken), "I Still Dream", "It's All Good" and the title track go beyond smooth while cuts like "Innocence" and "After The Rain" blend in but standout at the same time. This album is a Smooth Jazz classic and is great for a listener just getting into the genre of Jazz. There is also a R&B flavored version of "It's All Good" featuring Eric Benet. It will easy for R&B soul lovers to enjoy this record.』
(of all I remember this ...) 『I generally like Boney James and of all the albums of his (that I also lost), this is the one that I remember most.
As the title calls it, it is a real Sweet Thing to listen.』
(A Boney Girl for Life) 『What can i say Boney James is always hot. Yes i'm a Boney girl and proud of it.
Any Boney James purchase is a jewel and you will play it till it's worn out...... 』 『Boney James is a master at combining cool R&B grooves and good melodies, then surmounting them with warmly memorable saxophone sounds. OnSweet Thing, the lighter, piping tone of his soprano sax floats smoothly through tunes like "East Bay" and "Ivory Coast," but he gets a distinctly funkier touch from his deeper horns. There's a cool intensity to his alto sax on "Nothin' but Love," while his soulful tenor is his main voice, whether biting gently into the beat on ballads or generating more heat over Latin tempos. James gets some terrific support here from David Torkanowsky on keyboards and Lenny Castro on percussion. Alex Al provides all the backing tracks for "Words (Unspoken)," a lightly pulsing carpet of keyboards and programming, while there are several good vocalists, including Tony Maiden on "Sweet Thing," Al Jarreau on "I Still Dream," and Eric Benet on the funky remix of "It's All Good."--Adam Rains』 『Japanese Reissue featuring a Bonus Track: It's all Good (Featuring Eric Benet).』

(polished new version of 70's glamrock songs by original Sweet member Steve Priest) 『Once, the Sweet were a four 4 piece successful glamrock band in the 70's. In 1979, lead singer Brian Conolly left the band and in 1981 they remaining 3 piece Sweet broke up. One of the original members, Steve Priest, moved to California. In Europe, the former Sweet members started individually touring again. Two of the three European Sweet members passed away and nowadays only original member Andy Scott is still - succesfully - touring under the brand name Sweet in Europe. Given the success of Andy Scott's version of Sweet in Europe, Steve Priest decided two years ago to start his version of Sweet in the US. He brought together some talented performers and this CD is the result. Appreciating and following Sweet since 1971, one can only be happy that one of the original members is getting involved here. I listened this CD a couple of times and I'm happy I bought it. The quality is excellent, this is clearly a fresh wind reviving the once so successful songs of Sweet. Steve Priest has successfully revived Sweet in the US. This is supposed to be a live CD, but the songs sound very polished to me for a live performance. There's also a new song Steve composed recently called "Sweet dreams", but it sounds to much like "Sweetlife" of Andy Scott's Sweet in Europe.Sweet was always know for its high chorus, but this band can't get as high as the original version of the 70's. Neverthless these small remarks, I consider this CD as a success. It feels good and it revives the 70's glamrock scene. Good Job, well done !』
(excellent) 『Excellent recording,extremely tight band, great to see Steve Priest back keeping the music alive, just wondering if this show might have been filmed for a possible dvd release, if not I hope they do one soon, a performance like this should also be seen and no this is "NOT" A CD-R bootleg as another reviewer said it was, I ordered mine from the band's website, I got the autographed one and it is a factory pressed silver sided disc, cool cover also.』
(great live comeback for sweet) 『This has to be sweets best live album since the rainbow show in 1973,the band steve has got together is first class joe retta is the best vocalist sweet have had since brian connolly left the band in 1979 even though tony o,hora was good in andys band,the band open with action an all time favorite and from the first song you can tell this band is good and know how to put on a great show,all the hits are here plus a great song steve wrote called sweet dreams,the sound on the disc is first class no complaints from me,all in all a great buy for any rock fan who likes the seventies style of music.』
(Great Recording!) 『Fully realizing Steve Priest is the only original member of Sweet I'm still very happy with "Live In America". Each song is performed immaculately by this line-up and the sound quality is amazing. It's worth owning just to have these classic Sweet tracks with amazing, modern sound quality. Recorded live on 8/30/08. You have to hear this if you're a Sweet fan new or old.』 『The Blitz is Back!!
The first live Sweet CD to be released in the last 20 years. Recorded on August 30th, 2008 by the Westwood One Mobile Recording Unit at the Morongo Casino in California.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (THE WHEELS OF A CINEMA REVOLUTION BEGINNING TO CHURN.) 『D.W. Griffith fuses Thomas Bailey Aldrich's long poem of Judith's story with its basis in the Apocrypha to derive this somewhat austere and powerful film of the widow's noble sacrifice to save her besieged city and its inhabitants from an invading Assyrian army, led by Holofernes. With JUDITH as Griffith's first feature length effort, he turns away from the commercial needs of the Biograph Company, the management of which desires to maintain its policy of making only one and two reelers, and his expenditure of $36000 is double the amount budgeted, reflecting his expanded use of sets and extras and providing the requisite exercise in preparation for his next major work: BIRTH OF A NATION, made as a free agent. Eighteen year old Blanche Sweet's performance is striking as she utilizes all of her wide range of expressivity, uncommon in one so young, to mirror the emotions of a woman who is physically attracted to a man, Henry Walthall as Holofernes, toward whom her only possible final act will be his death by her hand, as depicted in many a well-known painting. The supporting cast serves the sparsely titled production well, with emotional performances from Mae Marsh and Robert Harron as endangered lovers, and among the many bit players who animate the work may be seen Lionel Barrymore, Harry Carey, Antonio Moreno and Lillian and Dorothy Gish as victims of the invaders. This version is the four reeler rather than the one of six reels released later and is Griffith's answer to the full-length epics which were being imported from Europe; its release was delayed a year by Biograph to ensure that the director had left its employ, but this brought scant gain to the company: Biograph was soon defunct, while Griffith's star was rising.
』
(Griffith begins the feature film) 『Judith of Bethulia is a very interesting biblical epic, starring several of Griffith's stable of actors at Biograph, such as Blanche Sweet (in the title role), Henry B. Walthall (as Holofernes) and Lillian Gish (as a woman with a baby). The scenes within the city are shot extremely well, with appropriate period detail.
Home, Sweet Home is a truly lovely film, especially when you see it, as I did, with live music and two singers! Walthall and Gish excel as composer John Howard Payne and his faithful sweetheart. Robert Harron and Mae Marsh, in another section of the film, are touching and amusing as young lovers from very different backgrounds. Jack Pickford (Mary's brother) and Donald Crisp appear in yet another section of the film. The four stories are very different, bound together by the song "Home, Sweet Home". Griffith took huge creative license in his portrayal of Payne, showing him as a dissolute, hard-living lout, whereas the real Payne's only major problem was his inability to handle money. Walthall is exceptional as Payne, and he makes you believe his character completely.』
(Two Important Early Griffith Films) 『Anyone delving just slightly into the history of film-making will soon come upon the name of D.W. Griffith, either in connection with his most famous epics such as"The Birth of a Nation"and"Intolerance", or how he pioneered film-making in the early years of motion pictures. This tape features two of his feature films from 1913 and 1914, and they would certainly be of interest to anyone following the stages of Griffith's work, or simply in the development of film-making generally. Although from the same period, these two films are totally different:"Judith of Bethulia"was inspired by spectacular Italian epics popular at that time (such as"Cabiria"and"Last Days of Pompeii"for example) and was based on a stage play, and the expenses incurred for such a production cost Griffith his job with the Biograph Company. Despite this, the film was a success, with its artistic expression, dramatic acting, fascinating costumes and interesting sets. The story is set in Bible times and depicts the attempted capture by the Assyrians of the walled city of Bethulia, but before the inhabitants starve to death in their beleaguered city, Judith is inspired with a plan to rescue her people. I also found the music - organ by Gaylord Carter - to be especially good and well-suited to each scene.
The seocnd film,"Home Sweet Home"was written and directed by DW Griffith, and is a forerunner to"Intolerance"a few years later, having four different stories with the same theme woven throughout. Unlike"Intolerance", however, these four stories are complete and are shown one after the other, although there is an interesting epilogue that finishes the first story, and that unites all four stories under the same banner, namely the moral quest to find happiness in the home, the family unit, be it in marriage or between brothers. In contrast to"Judith of Bethulia", this is a fast-paced film with more intertitles and various messages to think about. I enjoyed both films very much and recommend them to anyone interested in good quality early films.』
(Silent but good!) 『"Judith of Bethulia"is the first (and only, up to this point in time) drama that I have seen on a deuterocanonical book in the Bible. The only other film that I can think of is the animated one called"Maccabees: The Story of Hannukah,"which I have not yet seen. (This is really a 1913 production. It is the other included drama, which is titled"Home Sweet Home,"that was completed in 1914.) The acting was rather well done and the Biblical messages were in tact although the script was not completely accurate to the Bible. I strongly encourage people to see a Biblical production like this for a change.
I also appreciated the ending of"Home Sweet Home."』
(Exctatic, expressive and emotion work of art) 『I think it's tragic that this incredible form of art is dead (Thanks a lot, Jolsen...). I watched this in my film history class (the silent era) and it really blew me away. Its amazing how boring realistic acting can be. This film made me realise that the reason endings in todays movies are usually their ultimate ruin is the freakin dialogue! If you want good dialogue, read a book. If you want great acting, well aside from one mediocre one performance by the hero soldier, watch a good silent film like this one. It's all physical acting, which I for one love. The only thing that keeps this from a five star rating is the all too tedious battle scenes. Well it's a war film essentially. Yeah I know it was really fascinating to see people move on screen back then but thats the only part thats really dated. sometimes its downright boring. But Lilian Gish really comes through and makes you wonder why actors aren't very good at conveying emotions believably anymore. To get a bit philosophical, I tend to think it's because people are so plagued by the insecurities generated by television that they need overwhelming self-confidence to convince us that they can act at all well. But that's my opinion. As far as this goes...real good stuff!』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (not as good as the original......) 『not as good as the original (which wasn't very good) but has enough of blood, beasts and babes to keep you interested. Far more sillier than the original which also makes a more fun casual watch (especially with a few drinks in you).』
(does anyone notice the final scene??) 『Humanoids From the Deep ok there are like 4-5 reviews on this film and being a big fan of the original corman classic i feel this film does not live up to the original.its watchable but the original has a cult status that is insane and will live on in infamy. however in all of the reviews of this classic remake i have not heard any mention of the final scene where the monsters come out of the sea and attack the fishing village during the cumminity fair was the same exact footage from the original corman classic,they just inserted a good 10-15 minutes of the original film into the remake some twenty years later.am i the only one who notices this as i had not read any other comment on this bizzare twist.???』
(SCARY MOVIE) 『THIS MOVIE WAS BASICALLY ABOUT SCIENTIST DOING TESTS AND THEY BACK FIRE.EMMS SAMMS WAS IN THIS MOVIE AND EVEN THOUGH I ENJOY HER MOVIES THIS ONE WAS WAY TO SCARY FOR ME.FISHMEN ATTACKING A TOWN AND MORE. MY NEPHEW ENJOYED IT BUT I DIDN'T.WHAT THEY DID TO EMMA AT THE END REALLY TURNED ME ON THIS MOVIE THAT WAS REALLY A CRUEL THING TO DO.THAT MADE ME RALLY DISLIKE THIS MOVIE. WATCH THIS MOVIE AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK.』
(And why did I want to see this film again?!) 『This IS the 1980 film starring Doug McClure. Now, ol' Doug was never going to win any awards for his acting, but even he outdoes himself in the bad acting department in this super cheesy film.
I remembered this film from the days when I got my first VCR. I had remembered it as being fairly well done. Boy, was I wrong! This movie BITES!
HFTD follows the same basic premise that every "seafaring" monster film has since Jaws was made: people get attacked, pets get attacked, locals get angry, loyal local takes charge to get monster, expert scientist is readily on hand to assist, more people get eaten, festival/holiday is disturbed by the monster; hero dispatches monster, and finally, the film sets us up for a sequel.
Jaws was a one time thing. Even Speilberg never thought it was going to be as popular as it was since they hadn't been able to get the shark footage that they wanted. The result was a benchmark film against which all other seafaring "monster" films are judged.
The acting is quite terrible throughout. It's not amateur hour, but you can actually see the non acting throughout (McClure's screen wife has absolutely no expression on her face when she is attacked by several of the Humanoids). The scientist who knows what's going on (Ann Turkel) is so vapid that you just want to shake her. Ann Turkel got her acting chops from the modeling runway and we all know that is sufficient (right!). She has no expression and she moves as if in a dream, delivering her lines evenly and expressionless. Hilariously when the hero, the scientist, and the honorable local (an American Indian) go to the location where the local first saw the monsters, we can tell that the location is anything BUT where he first saw it. How can this be since he saw it on his own property? However the location they identify is NOT his property!
The script is such a pitiful mess that the writer should be ashamed of himself.
The monsters (the Humanoids) are two legged fish monsters with a tail - at about 7 feet tall - they are the result of frog DNA being merged with salmon DNA and then the salmon being eaten by "the once thought extinct but isn't really" coelocanth. So where do they get their two adult legs and extra long five fingered arms (oh, that must be the frog DNA at work, since frogs are bipeds, aren't they?).
Rob Bottin created the monster costumes and while not totally stupid looking, they are quite idiotic (but that's more the director's and producer's fault than his).
Really cheesy and badly done film. Don't bother.』
(Why Roger...why?) 『I don't see why Roger Corman would allow one of his best, if not best of his works to get butchered like this, even when he was producing. The entire scare factor that the original had is gone, the great music is gone, the characters you could give a damn about are gone, the awesome monsters are gone, leaving this movie a VERY pale imitation of a classic 1980 monster movie.
I can understand that this was a low budget, but so was the original, and it still came out better. The original Humanoids looked much better then these here new ones, the older ones had character and a feeling of terror, these here new ones are horrid, they still have the basic design...but the feeling just is not there. The monsters awesome shreeks are gone, replaced by crappy sounding "ape" grunts.
You couldn't give a care about the characters anymore, that is the best I can say about them. The acting, even by my standards is dreaded, I guess Corman felt that the only way to possibly keep a viewer's attention is throw blood everywhere and womens' chests.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Incredibly Excellent Film, but no extras in this Korean package!) 『I purchased the Korean import version of NIGHTS OF CABIRIA in order to save a few bucks buying it used, and it's a good copy of the film and there is a choice of Korean and English subtitles (or of course no subtitles and just listening in Italian). I have no complaints, but being such a HUGE FAN of this film I admit I wish I would have forked over the extra $[...] it would have taken to get the version that has the director's cut, a whole scene of a "man with a bag" that was cut out of the film as well as interviews with a couple of the people who worked on the film. If you're buying this movie because you are already ape over the film like me, you will probably be happier to get the more expensive version with all the extra goodies on it. You can tell the difference of the jacket photo -- the Korean version has some Korean words printed on the cover and the image of Cabiria with a fag in her mouth is cut closer to the edge and darker in tone overall.
One thing that fascinates me about Cabiria's character in this movie is that she has so much of the "talk" of a street whore -- the tough talk and the tough act -- yet her true nature keeps betraying her attempt at deep cover. And when she is not trying to be undercover and feels free to just be herself, she's naturally ebullient and one is struck the the wonder and beauty one sees of life while looking through her eyes. Let the mean and cruel come her way, the indomitable spirit remains always untouched and Divine, just as the very name "Cabiria" which she took on after "taking on the life" represents a group of archaic dieties.
Oh, and one more thing. This was made by in '57 when censors were very strong. What is notably missing in the film is any actual depiction of her actual profession in regard to sex. Nor is there any profanity spoken. A child could watch this film and have no idea what she did for a living. They would probably just think she was someone that didn't work at all. Excellent movie and in my opinion safe for any age child.』
(Korean Release) 『Just received this 'Korean release' and there is nothing to criticize after having viewed it as far as the video and audio is concerned. It looks just like a regular Criterion release would look I imagine. There is no 'bonus' material, though. Just wondering if the Criterion version has any.
I really enjoy watching this film. Glad I have my own copy now.』
(Innocence Flows from the Soul of a Whore.) 『The present review is only for the movie. The quality of this DVD is unknown to me. Director Federico Fellini was undoubtedly a film maker genius! Since his earlier works "La Strada" (1954) and "La Dolce Vita" (1960) thru "Fellini Satyricon" (1969) and "Amarcord" (1973) till his lasts "Ginger and Fred" (1986) and "The Voice of the Moon" (1990) he has left a legacy treasure for film lovers and film makers. Most of his films combine fantasy and reality in a rich mixture with no fixed boundaries. He displays his own personal conflicts in regard to religious belief; sex and love; youngsters' education; political and religious power; richness and poverty; all this themes and more are shown with a visceral approach. The viewer will be attracted and repelled alternatively and at the end of each of his movies will go out of the theater (or the bed room or living-room) knowing that he/she has assisted to the show of a unique piece of art.
"The Nights of Cabiria" (1957) is still a constituent of the Italian "Neorealist" film school, showing the poorest neighborhood from Rome and its population of outcasts. The influence of this movement will always emerge in Fellini's movies one way or the other. Cabiria is a whore striving to survive, at the same time her soul is that of an incurable romantic innocent. The opening scene shows Cabiria being swindled by her lover. She survives to this harassment and continues living her harsh life. The whole film is an endearing chronicle of her life, dreams, pains, joys and religious faith, but above all a compassionate regard to all her entourage.
The film was awarded with Foreign Film Oscar and Giulietta Masina with Cannes' Best Actress Award for her anthological performance. A marvelous film to see! Reviewed by Max Yofre. 』 『Giulietta Masina won Best Actress at Cannes as the title character of one of Fellini's most haunting films.

My only problem is the set/production...it's just not my favorite and I got bored with it.』
(Stunning Verdi) 『This 1993 production on DVD introduced me to the greatness that is Stiffelio, now numbered among my most favorite operas. Its tunes can be as irresistible as any but this is a piece of dramatic theater in the line of Otello. And here we have that masterful Otello, Domingo, giving us a searing portrayal of Stiffelio. Devoted to his wife, he is soon torn by doubts, then faced with the undeniable reality of her adultery. Watching him try to cope with this unalterable fact is heartbreaking, frightening. Domingo perfectly embodies the disbelief, anguish and rage. Your typical Italian character would now feel quite justified in dispatching one or more people in revenge. But no! Stiffelio, the minister, must teach Stiffelio, the man, to find forgiveness in his heart (did Otello ever countenance such a thought!). A heart that, though wounded, still loves dearly. He learns a meekness that is most touching. These latter scenes touch rare emotional depths and it is almost unbearable to witness the broken couple's struggle through the aftermath. But in the end forgiveness does rise above the tragedy. An unusual, beautiful, powerful opera.
The production, sets and filming all serve the opera perfectly. This is one the most striking DVDs I have seen. The atmosphere is sober and traditional yet there is warmth and gaiety. Décor somewhat severe yet shot through with light. Regular and orderly but comfortable, even rich. Each set is simply stunning in its beauty and appropriateness.
This is a great performance, the sum rising to be even greater than its parts. Those parts themselves being great assets- Domingo, Levine, sets, everything just right... But Chernov as Stankar almost steals the show. Straight and rigid in his German uniform (with Iron Cross) he is the picture of soldierly pride. Stern, honorable and unyielding yet his pride finds a match in his tender love of his daughter (ah! this is what Verdi does best, no?). Chernov is most convincing in this lovely role of conflicting emotions. What colors he finds in his arias and duets with his wayward daughter! He was having a splendid evening- he knew it, the audience knew it and responded uproariously, and I feel it every time I watch. Bravo!
The highest praise is also due to DG for their usual excellent presentation of these operas at the Met. Convenient menu; subtitles in Italian (some companies give any language but the original!) English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese; beautiful packaging including a very nice booklet with titles, synopsis, notes on this performance and several photos (I especially prize the full-page one of Domingo kneeling on the leaf-strewn stage in Act 2- just when he comes to grips with the truth about his wife and is about to pick up a sword to exact vengeance...) 』
(FURST RATE PRODUCTION) 『I have nothing to add to the extensive main review but wish only to join with the second in expressing my own novice's enthusiastic response to this production. Whether or not this is considered major or minor Verdi, the Met proved that it is an opera that can stir deeper emotions and speak to the complexities of human responses. As pointed out by the others, Domingo, Sweet and Chernov, in the lead roles, were simply outstanding both in song and action, the supporting cast did all that could be asked of them, Levine and the Met orchestra demonstrated the success of the conductor's effort to make it among the best in the world, the video production was excellent. A word should be said with regard to scenic design in this day of minimalism: the traditional approach here, measurably enhanced the power of the production as, it should be mentioned, did the costuming. All in all, a very classy addition to the collections of opera on DVD.』
(Stiffelio review) 『I invited friends over to watch Stiffelio. It was a grand experience. The singing voices were wonderful and the staging was great. There wasn't a dry eye in the room when the opera ended. Very, Very moving and I would recommend this production to any opera lover.』
(I was overwhelmed) 『Stiffelio is a GREAT opera. Lost for close to a century, it has been slow in making its way into the standard repertoire, but productions such as this one should further its cause as well as its reputation. This is frankly one of the best opera productions I've ever seen. Every facet is top of the line, from the orchestra to the singers to the stage production to the video direction. Prepare to be overwhelmed. And, if you've never seen or heard Stiffelio before, prepare to welcome a new opera into the canon of Verdi masterpieces.
Stiffelio, about a Protestant minister who learns that his wife has cheated on him while he was away, has a story that is closer to verismo opera than most of the other operas of that time in that it deals with regular people rather than kings and queens, gods and goddesses. Like verismo, the emotion is often pushed to a level that is melodramatic, even larger than life. Yet even those moments have the core of truth to them, because Stiffelio's characters are never less, or more, than human, defined as they are by human weakness. This is a very powerful opera, Bergmanesque(as in Ingmar) in that it deals with the conflict between the spiritual life and the earthly one. This juxtaposition is never more beautifully realized than at the end of act two, where Stiffelio has just learned of his wife's indiscretion and is prepared to kill her but is stayed by the voices of the congregation emanating from the church, singing about forgiveness. I was overpowered, and I'm not even a religious person! Then again, neither was Verdi, yet the great humanist was able to put aside his anticlericalism and create an astonishing vision of a man finding redemption through faith. This has always been a Verdian specialty, scenes where private agonies clash with public responsibilities. Probably the greatest example comes late in act three of Otello, where Otello has just finished spying on Iago and Cassio and is tormented with jealousy and thoughts of violence just as the horns signal the approach of the heralds. Trust me when I say that the scene I just described from Stiffelio is in that same league.
The music of this opera, which was written between Luisa Miller and Rigoletto, shows the composer's progress. There is very little standard recitative, it's almost all through composed, with fewer arias and more concerted music than the norm, creating an undeviating dramatic flow. Many scenes show the richness in orchestration that would characterize his later operas. Also, this is one of the few Verdi operas where the tenor character is the most demanding role. The uniqueness of Stiffelio might tempt some to write it off as a curiosity, yet the power of the story and the passion of the music demand that it be taken seriously as one of Verdi's most beautifully realized triumphs.
"Taken seriously" certainly applies to this production. The commitment of all involved is palpable. James Levine's orchestra plays with an extraordinary Verdian fervor and flair, yet is never less than subtle in the more pensive, nuanced moments. This lesser known score couldn't be in more capable hands. Under Levine, Stiffelio becomes an emotional powerhouse, it sounds like an opera that belongs in the same class as the more oft performed Verdi masterworks of that period. On to the singers. Placido Domingo gives a performance of Otelloesque intensity. Here is a singer who cares more about dramatic authenticity than strict vocal beauty, and his voice, while lovely, is also savage and tumultuous, just like his acting. Domingo has always excelled in the more angst-ridden roles, Don Jose, Cannio, Otello, the difference here being that Stiffelio offers an opportunity to explore the dawning of wisdom as well, and redemption, and Domingo accepts the challenge. I wasn't familiar with Sharon Sweet, our Lina, prior to watching this. I understand her career at the Met was shortlived. Still, it's easy to see why she demanded so much enthusiasm during her brief period in the spotlight, her singing is explosive yet also beautiful and, dare I say it, sweet. She is also a compelling dramatic actress, her wayward, fatalistic wife, the catalyst for this tragedy, is never less than a sympathetic character. Vladimir Chernov matches the tenor and soprano's intensity as Stankar, Lina's father, the tragic counterpart to Stiffelio, his foil if you will, who yields to the same impulse to violence that initially drives Stiffelio, unlike Stiffelio he only yields to the power of forgiveness after sating his need for bloodshed. Paul Plishka has a smaller role as Jorg, but no less important, since he functions as Stiffelio's conscience, his voice of reason. His stoic compassion is mesmerizing. Regarding Giancarlo del Monaco's production, this is an advertisement for tradtional productions when they are done well. The dark, brooding sets, while effective at setting the mood of the piece, are also light on abstraction, on symbols, they allow the singers and the music to impart the opera's profundity. The settings are elaborate and in their own way as essential to the performance's success as the singers and orchestra. Brian Large's video direction is as polished and cinematic and as unintrusive as ever, using closeups during moments of extreme emotional distress but also pulling back his camera when necessary to allow the viewer to take it all in. I've never seen a Met broadcast look better.
One final note. I persist in objecting to this opera's overture. I don't approve of cuts in most instances, particularly in operas that are under two hours, but if I were ever to consider making a cut to any score, this overture would have to be one of the first I would consider. For one thing, Stiffelio is a short, intimate opera, close to a chamber piece in some respects, so a ten minute overture seems inappropriate. Second, although the overture does use motifs from the actual score, the texture and pacing of the piece are too jaunty and therefore a poor match for the subject matter and mood of the opera itself. It sounds more like something Donizetti would have written for one of his lighter operas, it has a standard bel canto feel to it whereas Stiffelio is one of those operas that does its best to break free of bel canto conventions. Basically, Stiffelio's overture is unworthy of the man who just prior to that wrote the brilliant prelude to Luisa Miller and the stirring overture to La Battaglia di Legnano. More than that, it is unworthy of the opera. Despite all that, Levine and his orchestra give a spirited reading. I'm certainly not about to allow a weak overture spoil what is otherwise a beautiful opera and a magnificent production and an overwhelming viewing experience. Nor should you.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Even More Halloween HA-HA-HAs) 『It's baaaaaack.... This is the third installment of Cartoon Network Halloween. Now for a bit of a rundown of what's what on the latest Halloween DVD.:
Foster's: "Bloooo" - An unwell Blooregard turns white as a ghost ! (Let me tell you, that episode was WAY outta control.)
Juniper Lee: "It's the Great Pumpkin, Juniper Lee" - Young monsters turn into children every Halloween night. Now June must find a way to change them back.
Ed, Edd n Eddy: "Don't Rain on my Ed" - Time grows short for the Eds as they race towards the candy store for free jawbreakers.
Billy and Mandy: "The Bubble with Billy" - Billy chews on, then intentionally swallows some otherworldly gum Grim gave him.
Kids Next Door: "Operation J.E.W.E.L.S." - Numbuh 5 searches for the lost "Blurpleberry Supreme".
Powerpuff Girls: "Candy is Dandy" - The girls are each rewarded a piece of the Mayor's candy. Now they must save the day again in order to get more.
Now here's a list of episodes that didn't seem to make it to the DVD.:
I Am Weasel: "I Are Ghost" - Weasel and Baboon are ghosts in the Ghost Union and must scare someone in order to keep their jobs.
I Am Weasel: "I Am Franken-Weasel" - Mad dentist Dr. Franken-Weasel is itching to get back to his mad scientist roots.
Johnny Bravo: "Going Batty" - To upstage her nerdy boyfriend, a vampire girl goes out with Johnny.
Dexter's Lab: "Scare Tactics" - Dexter and his dad watch a scary movie and pretty soon the entire night becomes that scary movie.
Cow and Chicken: "Halloween with Dead Ghost Coast to Coast" - Red Guy dressed as a familiar Adult Swim character suggests to Cow and Chicken that they dress up as humans for Halloween. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
A random episode of "Courage the Cowardly Dog" - This is perhaps the BIGGEST gap in all of volume 3. Since the subtitle to this DVD is "Sweet Sweet Fear", I would suggest this episode:
"Katz Kandy" - Sick and tired of being second to Muriel, the felonious Katz whips up some mutant jam to kidnap her. Now Courage must save Muriel who is caught between two things: A huge taffy machine and a hungry Eustace.
Surely Volume 4 will have at least one of those episodes, AND the Eds' "Boo Haw Haw" special. Just wait 'til next year.』
(Finally! Juniper Lee!) 『Although the other episodes were great, it's cool to finally see Juniper Lee on DVD, even if it is one episode. I recommend this DVD because I am a Juniper Lee fan and the other episodes are great too.』
(nice DVD but not quite what I was looking for) 『I bought this DVD expecting to finally get to see Ed Edd n Eddy's "Boo Haw Haw". Be warned: It is NOT on this disc! There are some fine episodes on here, but that one is not present. Here's the actual list (from the disc in front of me as I type):
Foster's Home: "Bloooo" Juniper Lee: "It's the Great Pumpkin, Juniper Lee" Billy&Mandy: "the Bubble with Billy" Ed, Edd n Eddy: "Don't Rain on My Ed" Kids Next Door: "Operation J.E.W.E.L.S." Powerpuff Girls: "Candy's Dandy"
I was disappointed that "Boo Haw Haw" was not on the disc, being an obvious choice, but "Don't Rain on My Ed" is one of my favorite Eds episodes, so I don't feel completely let down. I'm not sure what that episode has to do with Halloween, but a good one nonetheless. The disc is starkly devoid of extras, apart from CN's usual promos for upcoming material. There are good episodes on this disc, and what is there is good quality, but given the absence of the most obvious episode choices and the lack of any extra material, I can't rate this disc higher than a 3. It's great if you really like these episodes, otherwise just watch them on TV.』
(third installment of cartoon halloween) 『This DVD looks pretty good. Espically because it's a halloween one! I am a big halloween fan, you know. I am glad that they will finally have the new ed edd eddy halloween special on there. Here are the four episodes that I KNOW will be on this DVD: Ed Edd Eddy's Boo Haw Haw Camp Lazlo: Hallobeenies (my favorite) Foster's Home: Bloooo It's The Great Pumpkin Juniper Lee.
And they'll probably have some other halloween-related episodes of KND, and other shows on Cartoon Network. 』 『Studio: Turner Hm Entertainm Release Date: 09/12/2006 Run time: 95 minutes』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Not bad for gluten free) 『It is a truth universally acknowledged that foods for special diets can be absolutely abysmal. Since going gluten free, I have probably had most of the worst packaged food in existence. Happily that is not the case with these cookies. On the plus side, they have a very good taste, and taste very similar to Oreos, which was a real plus as far as I was concerned. The one negative for me was that the package I bought had some very hard cookies. I don't know if that is typical, or if it was just sheer bad luck on my part. The taste can't be beat, but the texture was not a favorite of mine. I broke the remainder up in a food processor to use as a crust for a cheesecake, and the crust turned out to be almost impossible to chew, so I don't recommend using them for that. If you want a good tasting cookie that holds up well to dunking in milk or coffee, this may be your lucky day! A pretty tasty all around cookie, but with my sensitive teeth, I won't be buying them again. In general, this is a good product line and I do buy their products all the time.』
(Oreo replacement heaven!) 『These are wonderful! I bought a package today while at the store. My kids and I have almost finished it! My son has never had a cookie like this. He has peanut allergy and I had not located one till yesterday. I can't wait to try some of their other treats. We are not gluten free, but these are marvelous. Hail to any company that makes allergen friendly foods! I am about to order from here right now! All of their products are now made in peanut and tree nut free facilities. Check the website for manufactured dates to confirm before consuming.』
(The closest you can get to an oreo without cheating!) 『These cookies ROCK! I prefer the chocolate to the vanilla, but that's just me. They do have a slightly different texture than Oreos, but not at all bad, especially for a gluten-free cookie. The cream is very smooth - not gritty or oily like another cookie I tried. I do wish they were less expensive, but such is the price of a gluten-free kitchen. :-)』
(Best ever sandwich cookie) 『This cookie is better than regular Oreos. They freeze well, and stay whole in a plastic bag kept in the purse for those emergency blood sugar drops.』

Carry on little conversations with your pigs as your toddler chooses one to speak for too.
As a speech pathologist with Play on Words, I look for toys that have a lot to describe. Babies and toddlers' receptive language (understanding) has been outpacing their expressive language (actually saying words) as they hear and store new vocabulary words. But at 1½ years, they are entering the stage of their "vocabulary explosion" when they can actually learn several new words a day. As you are playing with your child and describing her action with the toy, your job is a lot easier when there is a lot to describe in terms of texture, sounds, color, size, and shape. Point out the straw, stick and brick houses, shiny, smooth and soft surfaces, big, little and medium--sized houses, match the colored houses to the pigs and talk about shapes.』 『Experience the classic story of "The Three Little Pigs" again and again.

(Desert Cookbook Attracts the Non-Vegan Audience) 『Sweet Utopia is a marvelous vegan desert cookbook! It is filled with simple and sinful recipes that will tantalize your taste buds. My endorsement of this book, is saying something because I am not a vegan--and have never cooked vegan before. However, I am attracted to living a healthier life and providing that experience to my friends and family. In actuality it was my husband's high cholesterol problem that jumped started my interest into this book and challenged me to change my cooking style. Quite simply I wanted my husband to live longer which meant that I needed to cut down on his egg and cheese intake. However, being a domestic gourmet chef I didn't want to sacrifice taste or my chocolate cake; and with using Sweet Utopia's mouthwatering deserts, I didn't have to. I became so excited about this trendy new book that I made the bread pudding recipe for my dairy intolerant Aunt. She was moved to tears--she hadn't had bread pudding in 20 years. That is testimony to how life changing Sweet Utopia can be. Whether you are a Vegan or just looking for a healthier way of life--this cookbook is for you. I love Sweet Utopia because it is filled with vibrant pictures that make the tantalizing desserts come to life on the page plus it is easy to use. All that it takes is one taste.』
(Simply Stunning!) 『Sweet Utopia is packed with mouthwateringly delicious desserts that are free of eggs and dairy products. Vegans and non-vegans alike will enjoy both making and eating these yummy treats. These desserts are easy to make so beginner bakers won't feel overwhelmed, but because the recipes are so creative, seasoned bakers will enjoy them as well. The book is full of gorgeous full color photographs of each dessert, which makes it even more irresistible!
I recently made both the Fudgy Chip Cookies and the Mocha-Almond Chippers for my coworkers, and they raved about both. I even caught two people arguing over which was better!』 『If you're lactose intolerant, avoiding cholesterol, limiting saturated fat, or simply crave sweets, prepare to indulge.

(American Thighs: The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Preserving) 『Very Cute! I was laughing out loud during a few sections of this book. Mitzi Allen』
(Solid addition to the SPQ series) 『If you're a fan of Jill Conner Browne and her Sweet Potato Queen series, you will enjoy this latest addition. It came out with very little fanfare. I have always preordered her books and didn't even realize this one was out until I saw it at Borders.
I wouldn't label it as her best or chock full of all sorts of new stuff, but it is very enjoyable and a solid read. Taken for what it is- a funny, well-written and pleasant book, it is well worth the time.
If you've read and/or own the rest of the series, you'll definately want to pick this one up as well! I've been to a couple of her book signing, but have not seen one announced for this tome. If she does a reading and signing near you, be sure to check it out!』
(A funny observation of American society and women's culture) 『AMERICAN THIGHS: THE SWEET POTATO QUEENS' GUIDE TO PRESERVING YOUR ASSETS comes form a humorist contributor to the New York Times and provides a handbook and memoir for women on being flashy and attractive. From why women risk their lives for blonde hair to how the muumuu has become the ordinary 'patio dress' and how to let loose one's 'inner hooker', AMERICAN THIGHS is a funny observation of American society and women's culture, recommended for any general-interest lending library.』
(GREAT BOOK!) 『This book lived up to her previous works and I could not put it down until I read it cover to cover! HRH has another winner!』 『"If I can save one woman from these thighs, I will not have lived in vain," #1New York Timesbestselling humorist Jill Conner Browne writes inAmerican Thighs, her handbook and memoir for the Hot and Flashy. Whether young enough to look "hot" or of the age to onlyfeelthat way (in flashes with buckets of sweat), every woman has given, or will give, ample thought to preserving her best "assets" (thighs included), so that the dread transition from "cute girl" to "ma'am" won't be quite so unsettling.
Here are stories of growing up and learning about life -- usually the hard way! From disastrous haircuts and color jobs to fashion or verbal faux pas committed, from the kiss wished for but never gotten to the one that should have been skipped, these are the moments that mark each of our journeys from what we thought back then to what we now know. Since to say that Youth is wasted on the Young has got to betheunderstatement of all time, it falls upon Browne, as one older and wiser, to take a "Hit and Run" down Memory Lane for the sake of offering "Asset-Preserving Tips," with astonishing disclosures about:
Why women have risked their lives just to get a little bit blonder
How the muumuu has been fashionably resurrected as the "patio dress"
Why it's important to always have a good photo of yourself on hand -- just in case
How, no matter what skin you're in, to make it last a lifetime
