 Rating:  - How can anyone think this is rubbish!!!!!!!!This album is absolutely fantastic and you actually feel what is happening in the fairy tale. The problem is that people do not know that Elena Kats-Chernin composed this music for a ballet "The Wild Swans" and every piece of music relates to something in the fairy tale. Eliza Aria (the music on the Lloyds advert is the piece composed about the Princess) who was turned mute after a spell was cast upon her by her wicked Stepmother. In a faraway kingdom, there lives a King ...

The Piano Concerto No.2 is energetic and a piece I have listened to over an over again and Mythic certainly grows on you the more you listen.

The Wild Swans suite features a lot more of the wordless soprano lines that are so striking in Eliza's Aria, the segment used on the TV ad. And the piece as a whole, adapted from a ballet score, has a lot of range and variation. I am also enjoying the two other pieces on the CD. Rating:  - Oh......This album is disappointing beyond belief. I admit I really only bought it for the music off the Lloyds advert, but expected to like some of the rest - I do like classical music as well as Heavy and Industrial metal. The advert track on the album is probably shorter than that on the TV advert. I'm afraid the rest of the album, in my opinion, is not worthy of note. The Piano Concerto No.2 could have been done by anyone, and is not a particularly oustanding piece anyway. If Amazon had put clips ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
