Not Your Average Whiney Emo/Pop/Punk Record.......2004-09-27

I bought this album mainly because of Porcell. He's always been one of my favorite hardcore guitarists and he doesn't disappoint here. In fact he stretches out showing that he's really grown as player.
But, I was really pleasantly surprised by the songs. Most are about how much things have changed in the hardcore scene or the singer's hometown or about how much loves or hates a girl. But at the advanced age of 33, I felt a stronger connection to these songs than to what passes for punk or hardcore these days. Daniel Larsson's voice can grate at the nerves a little, but it is refreshing to hear someone in a punk band who can actually sing these days. And it's also great to hear Alex, from the late, great Give Up the Ghost, still pounding away with so much energy.
So if you're an old guy like me or if you're looking for something that rings truer than Good Charlotte and New Found Glory, buy this disk.

Breathtaking music and artistry.......2007-03-16

Hearing these superb performances of this glorious music is a truly wonderful experience. The Shostakovich cycle from Jewish folk poetry is simply stunning and these grest artists (Dolukhanova particularly) bring out every nuance and emotional colour of these great songs. And having the great man himself at the piano is just the icing on this glorious Russian cake. This recordin shows you what singing and songs are all about.

Shostakovich Bare and Most Moving.......2000-06-12

Say what you want about the massive DS symphonies-they are no doubt a cry for help, reflecting great depair and destitution. But they are also hopelessly contrived creatures artistically vacillating on the lines between the emotional outcry and contextual contradiction. Just listen to the 7th, 8th and 9th symphonies back to back! More pladuits are heaped on the 15 string quartets for their even greater emotional appeal, and also their intimacy.

And intimacy is what I want to speak of here: From Jewish Folk Poetry contains a stunning need to communicate from the singers (Vishsnevskaya style), their voices are lacerating sharp- the mezzo Dolukhanova, sultry, the alto and tenor, heady and delightful. Yet this piece, and this particular release in particular conveys a shattering impact. The audio is suitably raw, transmitting much coldness and desolation.

The recording is definitive: Shostakovich heads the piano while the singers are from the priemere. Tracks 3 (Lullaby) and 8 (Winter) are simply breathtaking. Haitink's recording on Decca cannot match the white heat here.Buy it for the Shostakovich, and also becoime enchanted with the other 16 tracks, concert relays from Dulukhanova singing music of a much more romantic vein. Wonderful.
