5.0 out of 5 stars Concert Program, 13 Aug 2003

By	Shakey (B'Ham UK) - See all my reviews

If you are looking for an intoduction to PCO or want a record of just how good they were live then this is the CD for you. Although recorded live there is no audience sound and the overall recording quality is superb.
A joy to listen to - atmospheric, beautiful, fun, moving, jazz-folk classical rock. It could only be the Penguin Cafe orchestra

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 2 Oct 2006

By	Josh V. (Swindon, UK) - See all my reviews

PCO are one of the best new age classical orchestras i have ever heard. Their music comprises of a mix of jazz, classical and folk, all blended in to one. The CD includes some of their more well known pieces e.g Telephone and Rubber Band, featured on the old One2One television adverts.

Some pieces to note, or perhaps search the internet for to get a good idea of the PCO are Scherzo and Trio, Perpetuum Mobile, Organum and Vega.

If you have never heard any of their music before, then this is a good place to start. While the album is live from a concert, there is no audience applause (presumably due to concert ettiquette) and it sounds exactly like a studio recording - perfect to the note.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Joy, 17 Jun 2007

By	Mr. Ms. Badger "Matt" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Concert Program (Audio CD)

This album offers a fine introduction to the music of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra and includes their most well-known works. Whilst it is a live recording the quality is such that one would easily be forgiven for thinking otherwise.

Brian Eno said of Jeffes: "Given his individuality, his non-allegiance to any particular musical category, and the unfailing eclecticism of his vision, Simon Jeffes could easily be marginalised as an English eccentric - and thus sort of overlooked.". Jeffes, who died in 1997, may well have been an eccentric but as this recording shows, he was one of the highest calibre, of the greatest talent.

Put simply this is music which by its very existence makes the world a better place. I cannot commend it highly enough.
