Lullaby Favorites: Music for Little People

Customer Review:
Good cd......


The only problem with it was that it could have had some more songs to make it a longer playing cd.
Sweet Dreams are Made of This Music

I bought this CD for my preschoolers to listen to at naptime at daycare. Everybody found it very soothing including the teachers! It somehow got broken one day and we were sad to see it go. The kids asked what happened to their sleepy time music. I couldn't find another one anywhere so I finally found it here and I can't wait to get it for my own son.
Beautiful vocals, some cheesy lyrics

My husband purchased this CD for our 19-month-old son to help him fall asleep at night. It's a lovely CD and is very calming for our son. The vocals are beautiful and have helped me learn the lyrics to some classic lullabies. My one quibble is with some corny "new" lyrics for a few of the songs, especially "Rock-a-Bye-Baby." There's one particular line that always makes us laugh in the 4th song: "Slumbertime is so appealling, all through the night..." It seems they could have done better than that! But overall, we are pleased with this CD.

Talking Timbuktu
Talking Timbuktu is a groundbreaking record that vividly illustrates the Africa-Blues connection in real time. Ali Farka Toure, one of Mali's leading singer-guitarists, has a trance-like, bluesy style that, although deeply rooted in Malian tradition, bears astonishing similarity to that of John Lee Hooker or even Canned Heat. It's a mono-chordal vamp, with repetitive song lines cut with shards of blistering solo runs that shimmer like a desert mirage. Toure may be conversant with some blues artists, but it is unlikely that artists like Hooker or Robert Pete Williams ever heard these Malian roots, which makes the connection so uncanny. Ry Cooder, well versed in domestic and world guitar styles, is the perfect counterpoint in these extended songs/jams, his sinewy slide guitar intertwining with his partner's in a super world summit without barriers or borders. --Derek Rath

Talking Timbuktu

FANTASTIC !!! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE ALBUM, I LISTEN TO IT FOR HOURS.
Heard "Diaraby " on The World on NPR...

Everytime, they asked the geo quiz I just simply could never concentrate on the question being asked and just simply melt away in the most romantic back ground music. Very nice!!


Simply Sensual

I first heard the track Ai Du while watching the movie Unfaithful. When I heard this song, I immediately went on a wild search looking for this music. It was like my soul yearned to hear it again. Needless to say, this song is my favorite part of the movie. The entire CD has a senusal, raw jazz/blues feel to it. Highly recommended.

Haunted Heart
While countless fans flock to see soprano Renee Fleming's performances of the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro because she's got the voice and the dramatic ability to handle such meaty roles, the versatile singer throws her fans a curveball on Haunted Heart, singing popular standards and ballads as well as a few altered classical pieces. In her liner notes, Fleming calls this album a "look back at the road not taken" -- she played a weekly gig in a jazz club while in school. Nonetheless, her feel for the material here is undeniable. Interestingly, she drops her voice a full octave from her usual tessitura, and the change reveals a robust gospel-oriented approach filled with dramatic breaths and moans. The lyrical Fred Hersch (piano) and the idiosyncratic Bill Frisell (guitar) provide support, and both are adventurous jazz players who create subtle and uniquely haunting backdrops. It adds up to an interesting cross-section of ideas well carried off by the generous talents of all involved. --Tad Hendrickson

Customer Review:
Haunted Heart - Songs sung by Renee Fleming

This CD is quite outstanding. Im a great fan of Renee Fleming who in my view is the best soprano in the world today. I was simply amazed when listening to this CD which I obtained from Amazon.com. I did not think that she could sing in such a true jazz style. Many opera singers try to sing popular songs but they almost all sing in an operatic fashion. Renee sings with the aplomb of a true jazz singer. It is truly an amazing CD which I have now listened to over and over. The last track is incredible and powerful. Only criticism is that some tracks later in the CD could have been left out - somehow they dont fit in. But a wonderful CD to have. Only hope she makes another similar. Mike Woollam Pietermaritzburg South Africa

A nice change of pace

A good singer can handle a variety of genres, and Renee does so here with aplomb. Her covers of standards shows her expressiveness and depth. I'm not nuts about some of the arrangements, as they lend a lounge-lizardy air, but she's taken a song I've never particularly liked ('Midnight Sun') and made it lovely and haunting. Including some non-English-language tunes is an approach I applaud as well.
Genre-Busting Standards A Winner

Okay - I am no Renee Fleming fan. And I don't know much about classical music. I do know that Fleming is the piece de resistance of opera. What drew me to this cd was the cover photo and title. With a look at the song selections, I decided to give it a whirl.

Who, I thought, was this smoke-tinged woman dripping with sentimentality and late-night blues emanating from this record and how could she possibly set the opera world on its ear?

Since I can't compare this to her other more well-known works, all I can say is I was captivated. While not a perfect record, certainly a very good one. The alternate mix of jazz and classical is a bit disjointed but when Lady Fleming shines she really shines. Her interpretaion of "In My Life" is simply chilling in its emotionality - and she truly sounds like a diva of a different sort, a big bad blues diva. Likewise, "You've Changed" is charged with heat and longing. Other standouts: "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress" is a stunner and the title track pierces the heart indeed. Also, "Answer Me" is quintessential torch. The sparse piano (which is heavenly by the way) and guitar are in near perfect synch with Fleming's lower range. The combination is addictive.

Classical afficionados may be justly put off with her efforts, but surely jazz junkies can appreciate Fleming's genre-busting voice - I did. Haunting? Yes. However, I could have done without "My Cherie Amour".

The Last Of The Mohicans: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
This is a production rife with odd pairings: English actor Daniel Day-Lewis joining up with the Mohawks; James Fenimore Cooper adapted by Michael Mann; disparate composers Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman teaming up. This last pairing seems a suspicious attempt to endow the score of this modern film adaptation of a junior high school literary evergreen with both a golden age of Hollywood dramatic bent (Jones) and a '90s-slick guitar-muzak veneer (Edelman). A strange amalgam that doesn't quite work. --Jerry McCulley

    Best Movie Score Ever

    First off I have no musical knowledge whatsoever. I don't know what a stanza is and I don't what c flat means. I was completely lost in my mandatory music classes in grade school. In college I was offended that I had to take a music appreciation course. I managed to squeak by with a C because of lots of extra credit.

    Why would I think to review something like this? I obviously cannot give any great insights into the music. I don't know why one part is riveting and another is tantalyzing.

    What I do know is that this is simply an outstanding score (ok I do know it is called a score and not a soundtrack). This is how I judge music. If it sounds good then it is good. I don't care about the history or its purpose. Just the overall feel to it.

    I have used this CD to relax to, to study to, and if I were a new age flake I might even meditate to it. Great CD buy it now.
    Jones scores a winner

    I saw the movie as part of a date with a fellow musician. We were late to the cineplex and missed the original movie we'd wanted to see, so we saw the Last of the Mohicans instead. It was a great movie (and an okay date), but it was the score the moved me most of all.

    I was entranced through the whole thing. Loved Jones' parts of the score with the theme that ran through all the movements. I bought this on cassette, and in that medium all his parts were conveniently on one side.

    I have an extensive music collection with both cassettes and CDs with very few items doubling between the two. This is one of the few that I have in multiple formats because I enjoyed it that much.

    One of my favorite movements of all orchestral music of all time is "Top of the World." The music advisor I had at the time, a very prolific composer, had a snobbish attitude toward film scoring. I brought "Top of the World" for him to hear, and he actually admitted liking that one when he generally doesn't like film music.

    My only complaint if I have one at all is that the Clannad song "I Will Find You" is too short on the soundtrack. I distinctly remember it being much longer in the film itself. That is the version I would rather hear than something that is over much too soon.
    Original, unique and evocative

    I enjoyed the Last of the Mohicans when I first saw the movie in Theatre. It is a powerful production; full of love, tragedy, and suspense.

    A couple of years later, a friend loaned me the tape soundtrack. It was then that I realized the power of the film is entirely carried by the music. Each selection will evoke the emotion of that scene. A good soundtrack always recalls the movie and inspires the emotion. It is an understatement that Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman created a 'good' arrangement of music.

    The unique factor for this soundtrack is that it stands on its own as a great collection of art. The arrangement of the sound tells a powerful story that can remain seperate from the film and maintain its' appeal. Everybody knows the soundtrack or at least has some familiarity with at least one selection from the CD.

    I recommend this CD as a great improvement from the old audio tape, as an outstanding soundtrack and as a timeless collection of relaxing and passionate music.
