A Laughably Cheap Way to Experience Satie.......2003-01-08
Most of these recordings are reissues of earlier Vox material from the 70's. I have most of the originals in either tape or LP form, but cannot review absolutely everything on the CD, due to holes in my collection. But what I do know from this series is terrific. The vocal music covers most of Satie's most important music in this form. Je Te Veux and Tendrement are both cabaret pieces, and as such they are revealing of Satie's melodic gifts, gifts not readily apparent in his other work. Both are luxurious 19th century salon pieces in the best sense of the word, well crafted and graceful for the voice. Some of the later songs, including the brilliantly surreal Luditions are exactly what you would expect Satie to write, quirky and yet with something deeper underneath.
The duo piano music is largely unknown to me, with the exception of the Three Morceaux in the Form of a Pair. This piece is very similar to other Satie solo piano works, charming, and seemingly lightweight, but with some disquieting undertones hidden under a childlike exterior.
However the real reason to get this CD is for the orchestral and dramatic works. Parade is a classic of it's kind, the first ballet about nothing to be produced. Concieved by Cocteau, with set and costume design by Picasso and choreography by Massine (i think)the work was a success du scandale in Paris. Musically, Satie's orchestrations are clever and very well balanced and his music is somewhere between minimally brilliant and banal. The banality is an essential part of the work however, so I don't mean this as a criticism.
Relache may have been Satie's most revolutionary work. It is the antithesis of the omnipresent Gymnopodies. This is almost a harsh work, though not in the sense of harsh dissonance. It is devised around a very limited series of ideas and repeats those ideas in subtly varied ways throughout it's length. As such, the work predates minimalism by about 50 years. Satie was often sited by Cage as a major influence. It's easy to believe that this is the work that was most influential on him.
I do know the other works on this album as well, but the real masterpiece is Satie's Socrate. Socrate reveals a side of Satie that is not usually evident, his serious and very spiritual side. Socrate is a "dramatic" scene for orchestra and voice, setting three sections of the dialogues of Plato. Satie is completely serious in these works, composing a flowing, austere vocal line that sets the Socratic dialogues in relief in all their stark beauty. Rather than manipulate the emotion, Satie aims for an almost antique atmosphere, with subtly moving instrumental lines and modal melodies. The work is less dramatic than hypnotic and as such Socrates' death at the end of the third scene is deeply moving. Until I had heard this work (recommended to me by my composition teacher in college) I had no idea that Satie could be such a powerful composer. Socrate is years ahead of it's time, exerting a powerful influence on Cage (who's Cheap Imitation I is an aleatoric reworking of the material of this piece), Lamonte Young, Glass and latterly Arvo Part. This work alone is worth the price of the CD. Add to that the chance to hear excellent renditions of Relache and Parade and the CD is self-recommending. Anyone interested in the roots of modern music would do well to own this CD.

Album Description
Musical humorist, serious vocalist, Kacey Jones, deftly mixes clever commentary with flat-out great sound on this, her first-ever, LIVE solo CD. Recorded before a sold-out crowd at the legendary Bluebird Cafe' in Nashville, here's what co-producer and engineer, Vaughn Skow, has to say: "I've recorded many LIVE albums, but never one like this. No words can adequately describe the manner in which Kacey dominated the room that night. It was truly electric and proves, once again, that a great entertainer needs no more than an acoustic guitar and a microphone to produce magic." Four bonus studio tracks round out this fabulous FUN-filled evening with Miss Jones.

In 1975, Austrian composer Robert Stolz was in Berlin to conduct a recording of his music. During the session he was taken ill and died, two months short of his 95th birthday. It was the end of an incredible career as both conductor and composer. This double CD, issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his death, contains performances of his music played over the years by the Kaiserslautern Radio Orchestra under a number of conductors. It features a broad cross-section of his work, ranging from the hit song "Servus Du," written in 1911, to music he wrote for the 1954 Vienna Ice Review. Operetta, film music (he won an Oscar for Spring Parade), songs, marches, and overtures--the selection gives a good idea of Stolz's range, despite some occasionally bland arrangements. Much more important is the second CD of Stolz himself conducting the orchestra in a selection of songs and arias. "Servus Du" is again included, sung this time by the smoky-voiced Linne Augustin, who demonstrates just what a fine composer Stolz was. --Richard Fawkes
