Korngold: Fairytale Pictures and Other Orchestral Music

Search: Fairytale
from: Asv Living Era

Release Date October 23, 2001
Anyone in love with Korngold's legendary film scores of the 30's and 40's
will find this disc indispensible. His personality and unmistakable style
is present throughtout. At just 13 he began orchestrating compositions of other composers such as Beethoven's piano sonatas. His first attempt on orchestrating his own early music was the "Fairytale Pictures", delightful whimsical tunes describing the moods of each story.

"Violanta" a tale of lust, murder, and revenge is musically exotic and mysterious, features an exhilarating huge climax.

A Night at the Ritz

Search: Fairytale
by: Office

Release Date September 25, 2007
Another high caliber act out of Chicago, Office nail it on their first major release. The songs on this album are extremely addicting, much the same way as a New Pornographers album. The future will hopefully prove to be productive for them as they continue to gain exposure and recognition. They just played Lollapalooza- although their set was delayed and rescheduled due to the Weakerthens canceling. They then had to go up against the upstart Whigs on opposite ends of the festival grounds at the same time.

Bonkers: Gold Edition

Search: Fairytale
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 11, 2004
This box set was my first Bonker's set. I still listen to the mixes every now and then, especially Hixxy's mix. =D Power of Love has ALWAYS been a favorite. And then you have the anthem's like Cloudy Daze and Starry Night. It's a great Mix all around. If you're new to happycore, this is a good starter kit, but I definitely suggest getting into the Hardcore scene and hearing some of the better stuff.
