Magnificent compilation from the Constellation roster.......2005-12-17

"Song of the Silent Land" is a Constellation Record's first compilation which features unreleased (except one) songs by each of the label's artists. The album is very eclectic and ranges from beautiful post-rock by Constellation's most popular bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor to folk music like Sofa's "String of Lights" (and I'm not usually much of a fan of folk, but these songs are excellent) to simply experimental music like Fly Pan Am's catchy "Tres Tres 'Avant'." This compilation is sure to satisfy any fans of the record label or serve as an introduction to the curious for the lesser-known musicians (however, the DMST and ASMZ songs are not very good representations of the bands). Overall, this is a solid and outstanding compilation album from Constellation and is definitely worth buying.

Lovely music!.......2001-12-18

These CDs are for lovers of Irish music and of the "old-timey" sound of John McCormack. The songs themselves are lovely, and James Flannery sings them exactly as they need to be sung... in a simple and straightforward manner. The music is evocative of the sound and spirit of a long-ago time. The accompanying book gives interesting background information about Thomas Moore and also about the songs. Good listening for a rainy day or a snowy night with the fire blazing.

Good Straightforward Music.......2003-10-15

Music is performed in its original settings. Beautiful choral work; four singers, two of each gender. Lacks the histrionical egotism found in so many Irish ballad recordings. Very much worth it.

Here's a novel approach to Christmas music cooked up by the award-winning New Century Saxophone Quartet. Part chamber music holiday fest, part playful holiday pageantry, A New Century Christmas embraces klezmer, Latin, pop, classical, and improvisational music for an inventive, 19-song overview of Christmas from a handful of composers. Saxophonist Benjamin Boone turns "We Three Kings" into "We Four Kings"; Lenny Pickett, a notable veteran of the rock music world, illustrates with "Funkin' with the Bells" just how much fun one can have with musty old standards; and symphonic master David Ott recasts "O Little Town of Bethlehem" for sax. Not just for serious music lovers, this disc is fun and easy to recommend. --Martin Keller

That's only Four Saxophones?.......2002-01-01

"What orchestra is that playing?" my friend asked me one night when I had this CD in.
"Its the New Century Sax Quartet." I said.
"That's only Four Saxophones?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yes, that's right." I replied.

As with any sax ensemble the sound is so rich and full that it sounds like much more than only a few saxophones.

The music is quite varied... yet recognizable. It isn't a CD to sing along with, but makes excellent background music. The CD Liner notes have information about each composer.

I found it a little hard to balance the CD on a cheap set of speakers, but I'll blame the speakers and not the recording for that.

An excellent collection of music, I recommend it for any sax lover.

Finally, a palatable Christmas CD.......2001-04-23

The addition of Robert Faub to the quartet has proved to be not only a stabilizing force, but also an opportunity for an influx of different influences. The NCSQ Christmas rep is unique in that not only is it excitingly new, but it is also quite varied. Included are deeply stirring chorale-like settings, hot jazz influenced arrangements, and an ironically Yiddish version of "God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen" with Mr. Stephenson effortlessly executing difficult voicing techniques on the soprano saxophone. This collection of arrangements showcases the individual players' accurate technical chops along with their ability to always blend and move together. Thank you Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Faub, Mr. Pollock, and Mr. Hubbard; and I look forward to hearing the next 3 albums.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent representation.......2004-07-20

This a wonderful collection of recordings from a by-gone era, and one that for some was the true "Golden Age of Singing." Whether the singers were really all that much better than those we have today is debatable. However, it can never be said that singers of this time period were without personality, or sang like the faceless impressions we often are subject to enduring today. Schumann-Heink was a GOlDEN AGE singer. Her's was a voice to be reconned with. Many great singers took her as a role model, including Rosa Ponselle. Her technique was excellent (even if it was not perfect, but then, what we are getting by the time of these recordings is really a voice not in its prime, though still incredible), and her interpretations legendary. It is said that at her last performance on stage, in Wagner's Das Rhinegold (she sang Erda) that the listeners listened with such amazement that even after her character had sunk into the earth, it took many moments to return one's throughts to the goings on at hand that were transpiring on the stage.

Schumann-Heink was a large woman, and because of that fact, many stories have ciculated, even in respectable musical writings, about her inability to stop eating, of knocking down orchestral players to get through because she was so wide. Even seeing her photos of her career, one never sees anyone of that magnitude of obesity. Research has proven the stories false.

When one studies her life, one is awarded with the real struggle this woman went through to become the "Great Schumann-Heink" she would become (and her struggles weren't all musical; imagine having sons fighting on opposite sides during WWI). Her apprenticeship was LONG, and she did sing many bel canto roles for a lot of years (and a lot of other "Fluff") until she really took off. Of course, we know her now mostly for her Wagnerian interpretations. Even though she was a very large woman, she could act, and well. Few commentators commented much on that aspect of her performances; it was usually her voice, and the richness of it, the fullness of the sound, the power of it, and the depth of emotional intensity it conveyed.

For those of us who have come to understand past singers only through the written word, it is so nice to have recordings of one to see just what everyone was talking about. This collection really does give us a good picture of what Schumann-Heink was capable of doing. Of course, the sound quality, though exceptional for remasterings of this sort of recording, is horrible. One must listen through hisses, scratches, and all that. Yet, in spite of everything the old recording technology did to rob us of a real impression of this singer, the qualities she brought to music come through, like a ghost from a distant land informing us of some great thing from a forgotten age.

Unlike many reissuings of old recordings, this one comes with a wonderfully informative booklet, translations, and well, everything we would expect. We are not left in the dark at all. That is very helpful, especially for those who are buying such reissues out of curiosity and not a long detailed study of the life of the singer. You get the chance to really get to know about this singer, her time frame in the history of music, and the music she is singing without having to spend years going over dusty old books and newspaper clippings to learn this or that small detail. I think the booklet is really first rate, and is a great help to those who are just coming to these old recordings out of a desire to just hear what it was all about.

As for collectors, well, this is definitely something you should be adding to your collection. It is a wonderful documentary in sound of a wonderful career of a completely fascinating woman, and a woman who in a sense was the "great mother" of all Americans, especially at Christmas time when her singing of "Silent Night" was considered an American Institution.

2cd Set Showcases Golden Age Contralto's Long Career.......1998-12-10

Perhaps better than any other cd set available featuring the recordings of Mme Ernestine Schumann-Heink, this Stanford Archives Series 2cd Set is a treasure trove of beautifully transferred selections, from the first 1900 recording to the live performance of "Stille Nacht" made just before her last Christmas in 1935 and introduced by the artist herself! A stunning live performance (January, 1931) of the St Paul aria "But the Lord is mindful of his own" is most remarkable for its clarity and fidelity, often lacking in the recordings of Golden Age singers!

The career is beautifully represented with all of the favorite lieder and operatic selections and very little of the scratch, hiss and thumps that come with vintage recordings. An added bonus is the informative booklet with lyrics and translations of the selections.

For the serious collector of recordings of Golden Age singers, this is an essential album! The voice and personality of the singer ring thru every note and her personal comments.
