5 out of 5 stars Gregorian plain chant.......2007-06-10

The Carthusians in their authentic manner have retained the essence of plain chant, without any accompaniment. It is like being with them and seeing how it has been said, that they ae halfway to Heaven !

5 out of 5 stars Word and tune, Motz el Son: From the Silenc.......2007-06-10

The musical audio companion to Into Great Silence film, Groening's selection and recording resonates with the music and sounds of a cloistered community. Evocative of Henri Nouwen's accounts of the Desert Fathers and their ministry. The components advanced by Arsenius to Flee, Be Silent, and Pray All Ways acquires a superb example in this CD. None of the cloying production of earlier popularization of gregrian chants, this music is for no audience but God's by his community.

1 out of 5 stars into the great silence.......2007-05-14

I mistakenly thought I was ordering the dvd of the movie, not a sound track.

5 out of 5 stars Sound Track of Praise.......2007-04-30

This is the soundtack from Philip Groenings film 'Into Great Silence'. It includes Matins - Introduction - Psalm 3, The Beginner Accepts His Robe, Introït - Veni, Et Ostende Nobis Faciem Tuam, Offertory - Super Flumina Babylonis, Vespers - Hymn (Saint Ambrose) - Psalms 144, 145, Pentecost Matins - Venite, a Reading: Exceprt from Saint Ambbrose, Corpus Christi - Canticle of Saint Ambrose..., Matins & Lauds - Psalm 96 - Canticle of the Three Chi and Salve Regina.

These are not remixed nor a sound booth recording studio production. These are taken from the movie of the same name. So if you were blessed enough to see the movie, just close your eyes and you will be back with the Chartusians as you listen. If you were moved by the movie, or aspire to the contemplative life, this is a must have. It allows you to share in a spiritual experience.

5 out of 5 stars monks rock quietly.......2007-04-10

I thought this was only for monastic follwers. I was wrong. Silence rocks, and if you can't keep it down (verbally), you're SO LOST.
We look for perfection in others.They do not find it useful. We are not perfect, we only think we are.

The theater experience was phenominal, totally quiet before, during and after.
You can't go home th same person!!!

See it somewhere, anywhere, whereever you can.
You will never forgive yourself for missing tis.

5 out of 5 stars Ba-Boom-A-Rang-Rang-Rang.......2007-02-24

Boomerang is one of my favorite songs off this album and I really love this movie as well. I rate DVD and album 5 stars!!!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful!.......2001-08-13

This soundtrack has always been very special to me. It was given to me as a gift years ago when the movie was released. Whenever, I need to escape the world and find a special place, I play this music. So smooth and gentle, it feels as if you are actually floating on the sound.

5 out of 5 stars The music of pure rapture.......2000-04-26

One of the most stirring soundtracks of any film I can recall, much of this music can take the listener to a place so calm and thoughtful it seems as if time has ceased to exist. There's little conventional "melody", but instead sweeping washes of sound and chords which convey ambiguous, tender and searching emotional states. Sometimes pensive, sometimes mystical, sometimes passionate, it is truthful, complex music, whether intimate or grand. I like to play it while driving in the mountains. It has become indispensible to me!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Stirring and a Wonderful Infant Relaxer.......1999-07-16

When I heard this soundtrack during the movie, I was swept away with it's beauty, expansiveness and, oddly, its intimacy. It soothed me like no other instrumental body of work I had heard at the time--or since. When we had our first son in 1990, I would bathe him at night, bring him into the living room, put this on and put him on my chest. Within 5 minutes, he'd be asleep. It worked equally well for our second son. Beyond infancy, it was a calming resource on more than our fair share of family car trips. You and your family can't miss with this one.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Drama Score.......1999-01-09

Michael Convertino definitely nailed it on the head with the score for the 1986 film adaptation of CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD. The score is gentle and uplifting, yet examines the underpinnings of humanity. "Rain Pool" and "Underwater Love" are cues that truly stand out in an album that conspires to bring the listener to the brink of tears. A good listen, if you're in the right frame of mind, and a worthy addition to any score collection.

Amazon.com

The composers Antonín Dvorák, Leos Janácek, and Bohuslav Martinu might not be the names that first spring to mind when love songs are mentioned, yet this fascinating collection gives us a taste of what delights we have been missing. They range from seven Moravian folk songs, collected by Janácek at the turn of the century, to songs written by Martinu in the U.S. in 1942. There's also early Martinu--including songs he collected in Slovakia in 1920--plus the world-premiere recording of Songs for a Friend of My Country, a cycle he wrote in France in 1940 on his way to America. All of these songs are of interest in giving us another aspect of each composer's work; most have much more to offer. Many are achingly lovely, especially those by Dvorák--including his Op. 2, a reworking of four songs from a cycle he had written almost 20 years earlier, and Love Songs, a revision of eight songs from the same cycle. "Good night, my darling," from his 1886 cycle In Folk Tone, is worth the price of this CD alone. Czech mezzo Magdalena Kozená, who put together the program, sings with pure, attractive tone. Graham Johnson is her excellent accompanist. --Richard Fawkes

5 out of 5 stars On the Subject of Intelligent and Sensitive Recitals.......2005-05-19

Combing the recorded literature to find CDs that showcase singers who not only own brilliant vocal gifts but who also possess the intelligence to program recordings of lesser known works in a sequence that makes for intelligent recitals, it is becoming more obvious that there are many singers who opt for purity of purpose rather than 'salesmanship' of careers in the PR arena. Magdalena Kozená is one of these gifted singers whose intelligence and sensitivity match her physical and vocal beauty.

LOVE SONGS is a tastefully selected panorama of lesser-known songs by Kozená's fellow countrymen (Czech) Antonín Dvorák, Leos Janácek, and Bohuslav Martinu. And while many of the Dvorák and Janácek songs have been occasionally heard in recitals, the Martinu "Songs for a Friend of My Country", an exquisitely beautiful work written in 1940, here receives its World Premiere recording. Kozená's voice is in prime condition for these songs and she is ably accompanied by pianist Graham Johnson. The special flavor of these Slavic emotions and songs has rarely been so well captured.

But over and above the beauty of Kozená's performance of these neglected masterpieces shines the glow of her sensitive programming. Recordings such as these are rare and should be included in the libraries of those who appreciate the lieder genre. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, May 05

5 out of 5 stars Lovely.......2004-03-25

This is a beautifully performed selection of Czech lieder. Kozena has a lovely voice and sings with precision and nicely modulated emotion. The accompanying pianist, Graham Johnston, is excellent. Despite the title, not all these songs are love or romantic songs but all are well worth hearing. The selection of songs is excellent. Different listeners will prefer different songs. For me, the highlight of this recording are the rarely heard Martinu songs, many of which exhibit the lyrical aspect of his compositional style. Recommended strongly.

5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Disc.......2002-01-06

This is simply a magnificent recording. I like it better every time I put it on. The voice is fresh, supple, and expressive. I even find myself trying to learn some of the Czech words (from the translation in the booklet) they sound so nice. Both Kozena and the brilliant piano contributions by Graham Johnson are faithfully caught on the recording. There is enough variety and contrast that one doesn't tire in the least (over the generous 67 minutes of playing time) of hearing these playful, sometimes poignant, songs. One of the best discs, in terms of programming, performance, and sound quality, of the past couple of years.

5 out of 5 stars A stunning burst onto the world stage.......2001-12-17

Magdalena Kozena is suddenly known around the world, thanks to this stunning disc of 42 lieder from her Czech homeland. Most of the songs are short - some come in under a minute, the longest 3-4 minutes. Each is a little gem and many have never been recorded before.

Kozena's voice is sheer delight. She does have resonances in her voice which are reminiscent of her compatriot, Lucia Popp, but is certainly a mezzo - although she has chosen her repertoire well so we hear no strain at the top. Her low resonances are delightful and consistent with her head voice. To compare Kozena's voice to that of the late diva (Popp), it is more pure, more consistent in tone from top to bottom, and doesn't have so much of the `squeezey' quality which Popp used to great effect in evincing the passion of her characters. Kozena can empty her voice of vibrato or let it out rich and full, and uses all her vocal resources to great effect in contrasting the individual songs. She has astoundingly mature lieder-singer's technique for such a young singer.

This recording rightly won a Gramophone award this year. Kozena deserves all the accolades she receives for this - doubtless all listeners will develop their own favourites from these delightful miniatures.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful songs, and a singer with great potential.......2000-10-08

What a wonderful, carefully thought out CD! Kozena obviously revels in these rarely performed songs by Dvorak, Martinu, and Janacek, and Johnson accompanies with his usual ease and sensitivity. What a pity the piano is balanced distantly -- we hear little of Johnson's variety of touch and dynamics. As for Kozena, she is obviously an intelligent musician with a voice of great potential. It is qutie beautiful as it is, yet the colour is still rather pale. Yes, there is something of the late Lucia Popp's timbre, yet it has little of Popp's depth and range of colour. BBC Legends released a CD of Popp a year ago which includes three Dvorak songs also sung by Kozena. The differences are quite marked -- while Kozena's timbre and interpretation suggests a dreamy yet earnest youth, Popp brings out an autumnal glow and a sharp pain that pierces at least this listener's heart. Kozena has started a wonderful career. Only time will tell how her voice will develop. I do hope it goes in the direction of Popp's unique lyric timbre. No one could ever equal Popp (perhaps it's obvious by now that Popp is my favorite singer of all time), but perhaps Kozena will become something of Popp's heir, while still being her own person. I hope so. But her musicality is not in question. Let's keep our ears open!

      This is an incredible recording of English and Latin chant. The Latin and English Offices of Compline are especially noteworthy. The Benedictine Nuns of Stanbrook have produced a remarkable, literate and prayerful English version of Compline. In my book, this is a desert island disc!

      5 out of 5 stars A Surprise from Transylvania.......2000-06-30

      Nimbus Records are rumored to headquarter in the stones of an ancient castle: our curiosity leads us to wonder whether those historic blocks and their inhabitants are related in some most unnatural way to the Transylvanian treasures on this disc.

      We have Nicolae Bretan-the Transylvanian composer of heart-rendingly beautiful melodies; the lyrics of the Old World's most soulful-Goga, Ady, Eminescu, Cosbuc, Eftimiu, Rilke; the superb singing and playing of Transylvania's baritone Ludovic Konya and pianist Ferdinand Weiss.

      The cover and tray card tell us about the baritone and pianist, but the real surprise is within: once one looses the nails from the shrink-wrapped jewel-case/coffin, and crow-bars out the gothic-proportioned booklet from its crypt, one discovers that Nimbus have kept another pianist-Martin Berkofsky-prisoner in its dungeon.

      Perhaps this Berkofsky is not allowed into the daylight, or worse, perhaps Nimbus have already dosed him with the requisite stake in the heart. Neverthess be Berkofsky one of the living or one of the living dead, his partnership (eight of the 22 tracks on this disc,) with Konya reaches those rare and sublime heights of truth to the composer.

      Nimbus' crypt yields no biographical information of any of the performers and we wonder if they all are cursed to perpetual darkness.

      Or perhaps this is all a clever advertising ploy like the soft-drinks' purveyors "open to see if you have won a prize." We have opened and we have definitely won a grand prize.
