Nice Collection.......2007-03-05

I have many collections of Purcell's Music. This collection stands up to them at half the price. Solid buy.

PERFECT!.......2006-10-26

There is only a word with which I can describe this set of discs: perfect!
The only flaw there is, is not related to the singing or playing: no text enclosed.

Great singing and excellent value for money.......2004-09-19

This is probably one of the best anthologies of Purcell songs around, and not just because it's two-for-one pricing means it contains twice as much music (CD1:74'24" & CD2: 77'41")! Nancy Argenta has an irrepressible sense of style and crystal clear diction. But unlike Emma Kirby, whose vocal purity can become tiresome, these renditions radiate warmth. She is also, I have found, more consistently involving than any one of the singers in Hyperion's three disc survey of Complete Secular Songs (recently reissued as a single set). One marvels at how she judiciously balances restraint and emotional forthrightness. The accompaniments (archlute, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and organ) are well judged and blend with the voice, all helped by an excellently defined recording acoustic. This is an absolute winner at any price!

More than two hours of beautiful 17th century 'ayres'.......2001-08-02

Two CDs, totaling more than 150 minutes of sparsely-arranged (never more than 3-5 instruments at a time), sweetly-sung, 350 year old 'ayres' (a typically English form of secular music). Nancy Argenta's soprano voice is lovely, silvery indeed as her name implies. The instruments are a discreet but friendly accompaniment to her solo voice. Perhaps the instruments are a little too discreet -- there are times when I wish they were a touch more prominent. But that is a very, very minor complaint. A beautiful collection, and quite well worth the money.

A Beautiful Collection of Russian Liturgical Music.......2004-04-20

Russian liturgical music from the monasteries is a combination of a number of different styles. Since the Church id from the orthodox tradition, the music is influenced partly by Greek liturgical music. It also has a bit of a western Gregorian flow to it, though this is not as strong as other influences. It also has a bit of Russian folk music flair to it. Musically it is interesting, but it also has a spiritual quality to it. Perhaps because it has survived against tremendous odds during the Soviet years, it has strength to it as well.

This recording by the Novospassky Monastery Choir contains liturgical music primarily for Easter but contains other prayers and psalms as well. The CD has liner notes but no translation for the music, but for the price, this is not a complaint. The choir is strong and is able to convey both the majesty and beauty of the music.

The Beauty of the Male Voice.......2006-05-04

I was fortunate to hear The Male Choir of St. Petersburg perform at the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Saint Petersburg, and was stunned by the power and beauty of their song. The director, aware that the deep, resonate voices struck a chord within each member of the audience, held the final note of each song until it echoed from the rafters. The songs are usually traditional Russian songs, but are not religious chants, as many people seem to expect - one song, called "O My Field" is an ode to a farmer's plot of ground. I recommend this album, a great opportunity to revel in the beauty of the male voice.

May be High Point of English Song.......2007-06-04

Whenever I listen to any renditions of English art songs, going from Elizabethan times to the modern, as by Percy Grainger, I always dispair at how uninteresting they are when compared to the great German, French, and Italian art song repetoires. It seems as if the English can never quite wrest their genre from its folk roots and become a 'classic' music realization. I cringe at the Shakspearean 'hey nonny nonnies' and the 19th century compositions, none of which are as good even as Stephen Foster at his best.

But here is Purcell, and I believe I've found an author of English song I can really enjoy. To be sure, he has not entirely kicked the straw from all of the lyrics, but out of this 74 minutes of performance, I can easily listen to it many times over. And, as it stands at the moment, the prices for these CD's are a real bargain, if you like English song.

Perfectly Faithful to the Score!.......2007-04-24

As always with Sir Simon, here he is nothing but faithful to Mahler's score. The first movement is a true march. It moves along at a rather quick pace, something very necessary in such a long movement. Rattle clearly has a firm grasp on the movement's structure, and that makes this a very successful performance of the movement. The second movement may not be all that special, but Rattle does keep structure at the fore again, and pays great attention to the numerous details in the movement.

The third movement is quite brilliant. You can really here the animals frolicking and playing, and the hushed still when man enters (posthorn episodes)is absolutely amazing.

Birgit Remmert, as the reviewer below said so well, could be a little more mezzo-ish in the fourth movement, but to her credit she floats the high G's and F's in the bell-movement. It is so important that the mezzo float those passages as they are precusors to the same sections that appear in the finale of the Fourth Symphony (which is easily floated since it is sung by a soprano soloist). Too many mezzos sing them too heavily, after all it is marked pianissimo.

On to the controversial last movement. For my taste, no conductor does this movement better than Tennstedt. That is not to discredit Bernstein, MTT, Horenstein, or any of the other greats. However, Tennstedt keeps this movement flowing at a quicker than normal pace, yet manages to never make the music sound hurried. Rattle also opts for a quicker pace, but one which does get a bit frantic at the various moments where Mahler asks the conductor to speed up. The controversy that I mentioned above comes from Rattle's fast timpani and bass notes at the end of the piece. All those who think he rushes these last few bars should look in the score. Right when the timpani enter at the end Mahler marks "a tempo". Given Rattle's quicker-than-normal tempo at the start of the movement, it is obvious that he does NOT rush the final bars, he simply does what the composer says. This technique of studying the score and performing it according to the composer's markings seems to elude many conductors, and thus their performances fail because thay are not faithful to the composer's intentions.

As always, Rattle is perfectly faithful to Mahler's intentions. I am not saying that I agree with this faster tempo, nor do I agree with the faster timpani strokes as they do diminish the grandeur at the end, but Rattle's actions are justified by Mahler's markings. We all just happen to be spoiled on the grand endings that the greatest recordings have given us. Tradition can be a very cruel thing. Bravo, Sir Simon, for always being faithful, even if it means being different!

THOUGHT-PROVOKING - BUT TRUE TO THE SCORE.......2007-04-13

Mahler is famous for having said that a symphony should be a whole world. And the Third, the biggest of the lot at least in duration, is a prime example of this. The subtitles he originally gave to the movements and later withdrew (What the Flowers Tell Me, What the Animals Tell Me, etc.) has perhaps encouraged the view that it is nothing more than a gigantic tone poem on aspects of this whole world. Mahler, however, was never less than a serious symphonic thinker.

This is brought home by Rattle's interpretation, particularly of the first movement. This movement can easily degenerate into a great sprawling mass. It is actually a perfectly logical development and expansion of classical sonata-form with a big slow introduction that takes two goes to launch itself properly into the allegro material as well as two separate development sections and a big coda. The structure is supported on pillars of the opening horn theme and satellite motifs derived from it. This reappears at crucial points in the structure, usually on the massed horns again or on the brass, and Rattle ensures that, at every appearance, it is given its full weight and import, often over the thickest textures. Even more illuminating is Rattle's approach to the slow introduction. He clearly sees the whole movement as a symphonic essay on the March (Mahler's original title for the movement was `Summer Marches In') and he sets out his stall from the start. Amidst all the subterranean rumblings and upheavals, the lava spurts on the trumpet and the thunder-thwacks of the timpani (all gloriously recorded, by the way) there is the insistent slow march rhythm with the triplets of the bass drum. It's as if, in this picture of the creation of Nature, it is the nature of march itself that is trying to break free from the chrysalis. This becomes even clearer in the second round of the introduction, when this regular march rhythm is set against the very free and fluid rubato of the trombone's recitative (richly and gloriously played). When the big March finally lets rip in all its wonderful Mahlerian banality, with Rattle it is a truly cathartic moment as the conductor gives the piccolos free reign to shout out the tune above the pandemonium.

The other movements will have to get rather briefer attention. The `Flower' movement has all the required delicacy with a scary edge to icy blast that whips across it. There is a truly magical hush that descends on the orchestra as the animal's listen to man's romantic posthorn intrusion and Rattle wisely and uniquely recognises that the accelerando at the end is written into the music and does not need artificial help. Birgit Remmert in the Nietzsche movement could be a little more mezzo, a little less soprano for my taste. And it is here that we find Rattle's controversial interpretation of Mahler's Naturlauten (Nature Sounds) on the oboe and cor anglais where he asks his instrumentalists to bend the notes up in a kind of woodwind glissando - perfectly justified, it seems to me, by the text. The choirs make glorious bells in the Wunderhorn movement and the final adagio glows and radiates while always kept moving. The last two pages of the symphony do not resort to the usual vulgar and exaggerated ritardando - only the very final note is sustained to the length befitting the conclusion of such a huge symphony.

EMI, presumably at Rattle's behest, carefully observe the pauses Mahler asks for between the movements - a long pause after the first movement, standard pauses after the next two and the last three played together attaca. Which, of course, makes of the symphony a classical four movement structure.

It should already be clear that the CBSO's playing and EMI's recording fully live up to Sir Simon's interpretation. There are certainly other strong contenders for a first choice for this symphony - Bernstein and the New Yorkers, Horenstein, Barbirolli for starters - but Rattle, as always in his Mahler, is never less than thought-provoking and often as here inspiring.

great singing, if nothing else (I like it).......2006-12-13

Once again, a decent Simon Rattle effort is underminded by less than stellar sound quality from his home label, EMI. Go figure! Several reviewers have complained about the sixth movement being too fast. But if you compare timings much, you'll see that Rattle's 22-something minutes is not that far off the mark from a number of other recent recordings. Even the famous Horenstein Mahler 3rd (outrageously over-priced) brings things home in less than 23 minutes. I think what these folks find objectionable is in the very last section of the adagio movement, where the two sets of timpani go back and forth on the tonic and dominant notes. Yes, it's executed relatively fast, but I rather like it. Sure it's a matter of preference, but I'll take this over the recent MTT/SFSO Mahler 3rd, where Tilson Thomas was positively glacial with the same concluding section. In fact, I find Rattle's pacing to be very good throughout the symphony. In addition, Birgit Remmert is quite fine in the vocal movements, and Simon Keenleyside is absolutely spectacular in the male-dominated Wunderhorn songs, included as a bonus at the end of the symphony. I have no doubts that EMI will eventually give this the "Great Recordings Of The Century" treatment - somewhat improving the sound in the process. Then you'll see that this is, in fact, a pretty decent Mahler 3rd by any account. You've heard worse - I know I have.

Rattle is the whole show.......2006-11-24

NOTE: Please ignore any undue number of negative reviews here. They are from an anonymous Internet stalker.

There's no disguising that the CBSO isn't the vienna Phil., and Mahler wrote his ysmphonies for a great orchestra, himself being the Vienna Phil.'s conductor. Rattle took a third-rate orchestra and made it into a very musical, eager, youthful ensemble, but the Mahler Third is a test they find hard to pass. If it weren't for his inspired conducting (as with Barbirolli and the Halle Orch.) I doubt that EMI would have released this Mahler Third. As it is, Rattle justifies every confidence--he knows his way aorund tis score and turns out to be more fluid and musical than, say Solti or Salonen.

A lot depends, therefore, no how much virtuosity you expect. Other reviewers dislike Rattle's light finale with its fast empo, but the real lack is the scrawny string sound of the Birmingham orchestra. If that's no a problem--for me it isn't--then this is a fascinating Third, as full of insights as Bernstein's famed 1961 account with the nY Phil. Rattle got a bit of coverage for inserting weird oboe glissandos in the slow movement, but they last only a few bars. The mezzo aoloist, Birgit Remmert, is very expressive, and the children's choir in the fifth movement holds up the British tradition of great choruses. In all, I would give this recording five stars if it weren't for the hasty finale and the daunting competition from Bernstein, Abbado, Levine, etc.

Last Movement is too fast!!!.......2006-07-28

The spoiling all of us have enjoyed RE: Bernstein notwithstanding, the last movement of this otherwise wonderful performance is simply too fast. Don't waste time with it, because you will not experience the full value of the magnificence of this final movement (and therefore of the entire performance) with this recording. The brass and wind playing are superb, but unfortunately, nothing can counter the blasphemy wrought on us by the galloping gait to the uninspiring finish. Bernstein still rules...!

if indie rock is a peanut butter sandwich than undoubtedly last days of april is a peanut butter sandwich made with the good peanut butter along with potato chips, bananas, jelly and probably a few other things as well. their approach is melodic and heavily layered with keyboards and strings added at times to compliment the mix. chances are good that if you are a fan of built to spill, you'd probably enjoy "angel youth" regardless of whether or not my comparison holds any water. definitely worth checking out. yahtzeen.com

Elgar Conducts Elgar.......2006-09-17

Years ago I began buying titles in EMI's British Composers Series in order to get classic performances by the great British conductors Sir Adrian Boult and Sir John Barbirolli. Of course in discovering JB & AB's delightful accounts of the Elgar Symphonies and other symphonic works in this series, I also learned that Elgar's own recordings of the First and Second Symphonies, and the Cello Concerto and Overtures were also represented in a subset of the BC Series called "The Elgar Edition." Though they are electric mono recordings from the late 1920s and early 1930s, the remastered sound is surprisingly clear and enjoyable. More recently I realized (via the Berkshire Record Outlet) that a fourth and fifth disc of Elgar's own performances existed in the form of this import two-fer. In addition to several Suites -- "The Wand of Youth," "Nursery" and "Severn" -- and various orchestral works conducted by the composer, the highlight here is Elgar performing on piano his "Five Piano Improvisations." The disc sadly concludes with Lawrence Collingwood and the London SO performing the Woodland Interlude and Triumphal March from "Caractacus," while Elgar supervised the sessions via telephone from his deathbed. It is always a rare treat to be able to hear any composer conduct and play his own music, and I highly recommend this disc for fans of British music.
