Dead Man Walking opens with a brutal rape-murder scene and ends with a passage, silent except for the clicks of the machine delivering fluids that execute a condemned man, followed by Susan Graham intoning the spiritual "He will gather us around." Those searing scenes flank that rarity, a contemporary opera that deals with an important issue--the death penalty--with balance and empathy while sustaining dramatic tension, the narrative conveyed with musical alertness. Small wonder that the opera has been so successful. It's based on the book by Sister Helen Prejean and the acclaimed Tim Robbins film made from it about a nun who befriends a condemned man and brings him to face the redemptive truth of his actions. The recording was made during the San Francisco premiere of the opera and has all the intensity of a live performance, in addition to the overwhelming power of the story and the music.

It would be hard to imagine a better performance, too. Susan Graham is perfect as Sister Helen, singing with purity of tone and fiery passion. She's delightful, too, in the humorous bits that leaven what would otherwise be a story too harrowing for the medium. Frederica von Stade, as the murderer's mother, is as good, and baritone John Packard as the condemned man is a real find--a singing actor totally convincing throughout, both as the hardened killer and later as the repentant man finally accepting responsibility for his deeds. The supporting cast is also first-rate, and Patrick Summers conducts with unerring sweep and fervor. Jake Heggie's score may lack hummable arias (other than the traditional hymn that plays so important a part throughout), but the orchestration is fresh, the vocal lines are grateful, and the range is wide, moving seamlessly from modern romanticism to bits of pop and rock. No small part of the opera's success is due to Terrence McNally's dramatically cohesive libretto. A triumph for all concerned. --Dan Davis

5 out of 5 stars Isa Lei.......2006-12-25

The merging of the Fijian song Isa Lei into a deeply moving piece of sub-continental music is brilliant. Worth the whole CD

2 out of 5 stars Weak attempt at opera realism.......2004-09-02

The idea of making this story into an opera is a great idea, and I was so excited to see it, but the music is way too tonal and lyrical for a story like this. The whole opera sounds very amateurish. Heggie's sense of orchestration and musical language is very bland and unimaginitive in my opinion. And a good chunk of the opera consists of about four or five themes that keep reappearing throughout the opera almost always in the same form. There is no intellectual system of Wagnerian leitmotif here, it is simply direct repetition of material throughout the opera. This is not a story of heros and heriones with an epic romantic plot. This is a very dark and gritty look at the death penalty, and I'm amazed that reviewers complained that this opera is too atonal and 20th century for their tastes. In my opinion this opera does not nearly have enough atonality and emotional depth to it. Dark stories should use dark music. Just look at operas like Peter Grimes, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, Wozzeck, and Lulu. In all of these operas the purpose of the music is to elevate the drama in this dark stories to a level that could not be achieved by simple spoken word. To me Heggie undercuts the drama by reverting to lyrical numbers at very dramatic points in the opera. It doesn't help that the stage direction was pitiful in the version I saw (stage symmetry is the last thing you would want in a 20th century realism opera). It seems that I am alone here in my argument. But anybody who knows anything about 20th century opera realism (Puccini does not count) will probably agree that Heggie completely missed a good opportunity to make a scoarching opera.

4 out of 5 stars Challenging in many dimensions.......2004-06-09

I think that this opera (or it's subject more generally) gets to the heart of the entire debate about capital punishment - if we could devise a test that was perfect in its ability to distinguish the guilty from the innocent, would we still be willing to execute people for horrendous crimes. Having just seen this opera in a performance in Pittsburgh, I'm not sure. One of the amazing things about this opera is the extent to which it presents the conflicts associated with the death penalty without manipulating the observer. Is this despicable person really worth anyone's time? Is there some sense in which his death is warranted as retribution for his crimes? Would his death provide any sort of compensation to the surviving victims of his crimes? I honestly have no idea. But an extraordinary feature of this opera is the way in which it introduces these issues without biasing the viewer. During the after-show dinner, my wife and I discussed these issues a number of times. Any work that induces that type of reflection about the deeper underlying issues is worthwhile from my point of view.

In terms of the music, I suppose that there are moments of power and beauty. We're talking about a modern opera, so there aren't many hummable songs (see Broadway if you want those.) I suspect that the entire endeavor is more effective in person.

4 out of 5 stars The Opera is Fabulous........2003-06-21

I recently saw the Opera in Detroit, Michigan. It was a wonderful experience (but isn't going to the opera always a wonderful experience?). I thought it was well done-- the music was a tad too 20-th Century for my tastes, but I still loved it!

3 out of 5 stars It Could Have Been More.......2002-06-26

This opera has it's moments and they are glorious moments. The story is powerful and the central idea is important. Jake Heggie is a wonderfully lyrical composer. He really knows how to show off the voice and has an innate sense of drama. He also proves a brilliant orchestrator. The duet on forgiveness in the second act is very moving...as is the music for Von Stade. Occasionlly the opera goes a bit over the top, particularly at the end of the first act, where Sister Helen seems to be having a psychotic break...seems a bit much. But more often the piece is pretty understated for an opera and the ending is extremely effective.

So why only three stars? I think the problem rests with the libretto. This opera continues the deplorable late 20th century trend in opera toward sung play. As opera houses move toward commissioning playwrites such as McNally and William Hoffman as librettists the things that distiguish the particular art of the librettist are dying out. This opera libretto reads like a play. While there are a few ensembles that attempt to present multiple viewpoints simulteneously, they don't compare to the great ensemble situations of a Da Ponte or Boito. And perhaps more importantly, though McNally does include soliloquies, they are in a rather straightforward prose...one that is hard to set well in music. Too many syllables and too little verbal rhythm. As a result, no matter how hard Heggie struggles (and he does a heroic job at this) the opera never bursts into song, as it obviously wants to. Some will say that this is because the opera is throughcomposed, as is the style in modern opera. While that's true, you only have to listen to the operas of Barber or Carlisle Floyd to here examples of throughcomposed opera that still retains the sense of song. Even Nixon in China manages to create a sense of song while remaining throughcomposed.

Perhaps the difference is that in the most successful contemporary opera libretti, the librettist is either the composer, or a poet. In many ways, the best choice for a modern librettist is to follow the practice of Broadway and let the dialogue be written by a playwrite, reserving the set pieces (and most operas still have set pieces, even Britten) for a poet or lyricist. Certainly, this would have helped this opera to do what opera can do best, soar.

Hard to review this one. I like it, but with reservations.

3 out of 5 stars Pep rally for the defense.......2006-01-08

I pulled this gem out of the vault this morning for the first time in a while. It lived in the CD changer for an extended period before it was temporarily retired. Listening as I write for the first time in a couple of years. No criminal defense lawyer should be without it.

Eddie Vedder is absolutely at the top of his game here. Tom Waits as well. Not a bad cut on the disc, although some are better than others. "The Boss" opens the album up with a borderline tune but does well setting the stage for what follows. Lyle Lovette struggles, but Vedder follows up with the most interesting cut in the collection thereby rescuing the mood.

Very good album, especially for a compulation (don't like them, hence 3 stars). Of couse, like all politcal music, your own stance on the issues will guide your judgement on this one.

4 out of 5 stars The Power of Two.......2004-10-27

Truth is I was so transfixed by the visuals that the soundtrack to the movie didn't enter my consciousness. It was the superlative Vedder/Nasrat Fateh Ali Khan duets on radio that drew me to this fabulous compilation. Truth is also that while knowing of Pearl Jam, I'd never given Eddie more than glancing attention. Ali Khan I'd heard since the mid 1980s. Their singing on this CD is compelling. Then there was the challenge set for the song champs by Tim Robbins to write their impressions from a roughcut of the film. The dividends aren't quite so great. Springsteen, Michelle Shocked, Susan Vega, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and my favourite here, Lyle Lovett, all returned wonderful material. Lovett's pure diction & phrasing ensures the enunciating of failed promises,and failed words, cuts deep. Springsteen sets the mood with a fairly literal condensing of the film's narrative. I consider it stronger than anything on,'Tom Joad'. And as Springsteen's voice assembles Sean Penn's screen face for me, so does Carpenter's erect Susan Saradons'. The star cast emerge collectively with absorbing material, though none quite match Vedder(who later at Bob Dylan's CBS bash, stole the show with 'Masters of War)and Ali Khans'.

5 out of 5 stars You got to hear this album!.......2004-06-29

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I just want to keep listening to it all the time! In fact I like it so much that I also bought the other version of this soundtrack, i.e. "Dead Man Waliking, The Score". This album have the extended versions of my two favorites tracks "The Face of Love" and "The Long Road" by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Eddie Vedder. These two tracks alone are worth the purchase of the "Score".

Buy this and the "The Score" and you will not regret it.

4 out of 5 stars Reconverted..........2003-02-04

I must admit that I have had this album lying on my shelf for almost 4 months before today, when I seem to have rediscovered it as I sit listening to it and writing this review.
The reason; I watched the movie yesterday...
There are two kinds of soundtracks...the first that exist in isolation and are great independent of the movie (Amadeus, English Patient, Straight Story...), the other that are so intimately entwined with the visuals and message of the movie that without these, they lack something very basic.
Dead Man Walking, is of the latter category. Of course the movie itself is so touchingly powerful that anything that evokes memories of it would be an experience in itself. However this album goes beyond this...I think what makes this album trully good is that it carries you beyond the movie (the way only music can).
I have given it four out of five stars primarily because sometimes the album becomes too much of itself! Even though the Eddie Vedder and Fateh Ali's "Face of love" appeals instantly the vocals quickly grow too saccharine and simplistic (specially if you can understand the urdu lyrics).
"The long road" on the other hand stands out as a trully moving musical experience. The beats of the tabla along with Vedder's spiritual rendition seem to bring us close to the 'life force' that the movie tries to depict in its entirety.
Admitedly I have to listen to this album a lot more before I begint to trully grow into it...I have a feeling that its one of those rare albums that will grow on me. Revealing more as time and life goes by...

5 out of 5 stars Spiritual Punch in the Gut.......2001-10-27

I want to address one cut on the --what is it called, CD? Album?--The Quality of Mercy is not Strained. This cut is close to the heart of every piece on the allbum. The lyrics, taken from the bible, an esoteric enough epigram from, I think, St. Paul's epistles, trying to explain the mercy of God, "The quality of mercy is not strained" raining as it does on the just and the unjust. It's one of the toughest concepts in Christianity, in my humble opinion. The lyrics of the song take that dialectic, those opposites, and addresses martyrs and murderers, see them lying on the same plain, see mercy raining down on them both. Same for hypocrites and heroes, saints and sinners.

The beat of the song is totally primitive, like a heartbeat, and whoever arranged it punctuated certain words--maybe only one word, in fact, the word love--with several bass voices singing that one word under Michelle's Shocked's passionate, hard, gritty, intense notes but two octaves down--it's like some ancient, instant buddhist monks' meditation on that one word, you see prayer wheels spinning, suddenly the concept of love is revealed as dizzy and impossible and beautiful. The bass voices are African American and they are so deep they might be the voices of the animal world, like frogs singing in the dark, singing about love, or from a spirit world almost always hidden.

The refrain, "I've been three times a sinner/and two times a saint," is sung with energy and sorrow and honesty. If you don't sing along and feel sorry, your heart is made of stone.

If you hate hyprocrisy, if you love something transcendent, if you cry sometimes in frustration and sometimes in gratitude, you are going to love the sound track to Dead Man Walking even if you hated the movie! If you look at the crucifix and think, I did that, instead of, they did that. If you look at a murderer going toward his execution not exactly with pity but with full knowledge of there but for the grace of God go I--every cut on this whatever we call it is going to move you. Actually, I have no idea how many people fit this description and the market for this magical cd might be rather small. "A remnant," I think the bible calls them. But for those few, this is food.

5 out of 5 stars Great Introduction.......2004-08-25

This is a great introduction at a very reasonable price to Susan Graham's lovely mezzo voice, with selections from several CDs. Be warned, however - this will only whet your appetite for the full albums (for example, her incredible live performance as Ruggiero in Handel's "Alcina" with Renee Fleming and Natalie Dessay and with William Christie conducting Les Arts Florissants - surely one of the most stupendous opera recordings ever made).

    The updated Dead Man Walking: Legacy Edition enhances the original soundtrack to Tim Robbins's Oscar-winning 1995 movie, including a bonus DVD and a newly recorded bonus track, the gripping "Dead Man," from Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder. Dead Man Walking was a moving and somber examination of capital punishment, based on Sister Helen Prejean's book of the same name. At the filmmaker's request, well-known activist artists like Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, and Michelle Shocked contributed original songs inspired by the subject matter. The included bonus DVD documents a 1998 concert--hosted by Tim Robbins and benefiting Sister Helen and Murder Victim Families for Reconciliation--which brought together many of the artists who had contributed to the original soundtrack including Eddie Vedder, Lyle Lovett, and Steve Earle. The performances are uniformly impassioned: Steve Earle recreates his stark portrait of a death row guard's story in "Ellis Unit 1" and teams with Lyle Lovett to cover Townes Van Zandt's "Lungs."

    Even in a concert whose subject is capital punishment, moments of levity find their way into the proceedings. Robbins shares an amusing list of protest song titles that didn't make the cut for the soundtrack and Vedder entertains the crowd with his story of delivering the filmmakers a song called "Dead Man Walking," only to learn that he had been pre-empted by Springsteen's Oscar-nominated title track. Ani Difranco's jittery energy seems a little out of place, but the closing set by Vedder and Pearl Jam bandmate Jeff Ament, joined by Doors drummer John Densmore and Rahat Fateh Ali Kahn (son to famed Pakistani vocalist Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn), ends the evening on a fittingly restrained note. --Ben Heege

    5 out of 5 stars Moving.......2003-12-10

    Simply buy the album for the Face of Love track.
    Knowing a little about the movie will help to enjoy this one.
    It is hauntingly spiritual and the melancholy can be felt for hours after a listen.
    East truly meets west. I never really believed that music can break barriers of language and culture. This track really does that.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the best albums I have heard, highly recommended.......2003-05-31

    This CD is my favorite CD so far. I listen to this CD on a regular basis. The best part of this CD are the two songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Eddie Vedder and also the last instrumental by Ry Cooder and V.M. Bhatt. This CD is different from the standard Dead Man Walking soundtrack. This has the extended and un-edited versions of the two songs I mentioned above and the additional instrumental. When I am listening to these two songs, it seems as if Khan and Vedder are sitting right next to me. The recording is excellent and the songs are sung very beautifully.

    I would highly highly recommend this CD to everyone reading this.

    My only wish is that they come out with the SACD version of this album!

    5 out of 5 stars this cd is worth buying 3 tracks.......1999-07-23

    an essential album for any nusrat fan. it's a bit more chill than his other recordings because it's not traditional qawali that he's doing...the two tracks he sings on are a bit too structured in the beginning, but they digress in the middle up until the end beautifully. eddie vedder's attempts are impressive and surprisingly convincing, what an honor to share a track with one of the world's greatest singers! honestly, aside from the 2 tracks of eddie and nusrat, and the last track on the album--the instrumental by v.m. bhatt and ry cooder and co., the rest of the cd isn't worth listening to. BUT IT IS STILL VERY WORTHWHILE TO BUY THE CD ANYWAY. the three tracks total to about a half hour and that half hour is bliss.

    5 out of 5 stars Haunting. You will not forget this album........1998-12-11

    The music is melancholic and beautifully put together by David Robbins and is definitely one of the best soundtracks recently made. I especially like the two songs with Eddie Vedder and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. I was thrilled when Eddie Vedder began his Pearl Jam concert in Denver by singing one of these songs. Unfortunately, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan died last year, otherwise these two could have collaborated again for an entire album.

    3 out of 5 stars Innovative, and yet areas fall flat..........1998-11-23

    Having Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan perform with Eddie Vedder was a stroke of genius-- Mr. Vedder sounds as if he is singing in Urdu, and the intense spiritualism and eroticism of Ustad Khan fit well in this movie of spirituality. Bruce Springsteen also makes an excellent contribution to the album-- his voice explores the haunting qualities that he provided in the Ghost of Tom Joad. The other contributions are a mixed bag-- strong in areas, but otherwise not memorable. The album is worth purchasing simply for the first mentioned songs, however!
