    Marcel Dupré is an important historical as well as musical figure, his compositional freedom linking the golden age of Widor and Vierne with the radical rethinking that Messiaen saw through in his great organ cycles. Never doing things by halves, Naxos has reached Volume 9 of the complete organ works--mainly chamber pieces involving organ. Most substantial is the "Trio for Violin, Cello, and Organ," in one sense a throwback to the Baroque line of trio sonatas, but with a harmonic richness that indicates a late-19th-century inheritance--thoughtful, undemonstrative music, persuasively realized by Bruce Neswick and colleagues. The "Quartet" adds a viola to the lineup, but a delightful scherzando apart is a lesser affair, while the "Sonata for Cello and Organ" is a modest but interesting work (at least for the way Dupré makes a telling contrast between the sonorities of the two instruments). Again, perceptive playing from Neswick, whose Indiana organ has a clear, bright sound that makes the generous selection of Chorales interesting for the listener as well as the player. At the price, a worthwhile collection of some unusual repertoire. --Richard Whitehouse

    5 out of 5 stars THE SORT OF MUSIC THAT BOSTRIDGE'S VOICE WAS MADE FOR.......2002-10-09

    Ian Bostridge has one of the most beautiful voices on record, and he has consistently shown courage and wisdom in selecting material that will extend and develop his gifts. Not all of this material has been a perfect match for his young and soaring tenor voice, notably some of Schubert's more dramatic "lieder". In contrast, nothing could be more perfectly suited to his voice than this generous and beautiful collection of traditional English poetic settings by Britten, Finzi, Grainger, Warlock and others.

    Bostridge brings more than just a beautiful tone and a subtle musical phrasing to these songs. The challenge any intepreter of English songs has to face is that, in contrast with the pure syllables of most continental languages, the complex vowels of "Southern British English" are formidably difficult to render attractively in song. It's not just a question of singing them prettily. Think how accurately the pronunciation of a word like "house" or "bath" can betray someone's geographical and social background; our vowels are a caste-mark as well as a means of communication. But somehow Bostridge himself, in his fruitful partnership with Julius Drake, manages to transcend our socio-linguistic divisions and deliver these songs in a way that places no barrier between the listener and the music.

    The material is wonderful in its own right - a collection of lilting pastoral airs and occasional boisterous ditties. They are at one and the same time ancient and modern, embracing at once the mutual cross-fertilisation between classical and "pop" sensibilities that has always underpinned the best of English music. Even the most trivial of these songs (e.g. "Jillian of Berry") are memorable, and some of them (notably Sir Charles Stanford's chilling musical setting of the Keats' poem, "La Belle Dame Sans Merci") would not have been beneath Schubert himself.

    It has been fashionable over the generations to belittle British classic music. "The land without song" England was dubbed, as the sleeve notes poignantly remind us. This CD is a healthy reminder that the global success of English popular music in the latter four decades of the 20th century did not appear out of nowhere; it was built on a solid foundation of past accomplishment that it was for too long fashionable to dismiss. Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Artistry beyond measure.......2002-09-20

    This disk is a wonderful treasure. "To Gratiana Dancing and Singing" is an exquisite song that you should not go another day without hearing. I am speaking literally.

    Mr. Bostridge's interpretation of Browne's song is amazingly compelling. His ability to express goes beyond that of most other singers - even some great ones. He notes the problems in singing in English (the "extra" vowels, the English vs. German approach to word painting, etc.) and I have to say he triumphs on this disk.

    As he also notes, this is NOT a recording of a recital program nor are the songs "English" in nationality - the songs are just set to texts in the English language. I had not heard of some of these composers, but I am enthusiastic in saying that every song on this disk has something very nice to recommend it - at least at the voice and hands of Ian Bostridge and Julian Drake.

    I must say a few words about Mr. Drake's playing. Overall he is simply incredible. He has a beauty of tone and a singing style that is not in anyway mere accompaniment. It really isn't even a partnership. It is a unity of artistry that creates this single entity, a song. There aren't many that can pull this off and Mr. Drake should be treasured for this ability. Just amazing artistry.

    Please get every disk that Mr. Bostridge and Mr. Drake have done together. You will thank me for recommending this if you didn't know this already. Feel free to email me with your thoughts on this disk or any comments you have about Bostridge and Drake.

    5 out of 5 stars Perfectly Enjoyable.......2002-02-09

    I already liked Ian Bostridge, but I thought "English songs" would be rather light and without substance. But I have fallen in love with this CD and never tire of it! I was already an admirer of Vaughan Williams, Britten, Finzi, Warlock and Delius, and I'm glad for this introduction to other composers as well. Also, much beautiful poetry is chosen, from Shakespeare, Yeats, Rossetti, Keats, and others, and each is treated with careful consideration by the composer, *partnering* music with poetry rather than simply enhancing or overshadowing the lyric. Bostridge seems to have the perfect voice for this music, light and charming when appropriate, heart-breaking at other times, always an engaging storyteller. He obviously understands intimately each word and note that he sings. The listener can hear his facial expressions and body language! The English Songbook is a beautiful collection of excellent craftsmanship, and one of the best CDs I have.

    5 out of 5 stars Do Not Be Deceived By His Look Of Innocence.......2001-10-14

    Just look at Ian on the cover photo of this CD. He's sitting there looking coy, playing with his finger, hair a little mussed, with a very cute boyish smile, as if to say, "I didn't do anything wrong mommy, honest." Well he has done it this time.

    This CD was my first exposure to Ian Bostridge. I bought it because I was very surprised to know that one of my favorite poems, the Cloths of Heaven by Yeats, was set to music. I spent 17 bucks for one song, and ended up cashing in on 23 others.

    To Gratiana Dancing and Singing quickly became a favorite, as did Bold William Taylor. This last one was my first realization of Ian's gift of storytelling. Somehow he is able to make his voice sound like a woman, namely Sally Gray, and the narrator, and the macho Captain, all in the same song. The multiple personalities come out to play similarly in The Death of Queen Jane. I am lulled into quiet reflection and relaxation when Ian sings the Cradle Song.

    Check out his CDs of Schubert Lieder, also accompanied by Julius Drake. Ian may be even more at home in German than he is in his native English! Julius is at home with Schubert, especially the water songs, and we are at home listening to this wonderfully weird, warm voice paired with masterful piano playing.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the best English-Song CD's available.......2001-09-12

    Unlike the reviewer "A music fan from California, USA" I realize that this is not a recital program of music (as even noted in the liner). This is though, an unequaled collection of some of the most beautiful English Songs ever. Ian is on top of his game and J Drake plays, well, I don't have the words. He never fails to impress with his skills. Each key under each finger sings! Back to Ian. As a professional tenor, I am in awe of his voice. It is tender, moving, all the things you want in a good recitalist, and (unlike any of the opera tenors I can think of) it is note perfect. Yes, there are times when his voice seems a little light for the song he may be performing, but it is passionate and caries the pathos of each note/word he sings. BUY THIS CD - you will love it for ever!

    4 out of 5 stars More U.S. Hits Than Most Other U.K. "Now"s.......2002-02-25

    "Now" has been an institution in the U.K. since 1983, sprawning many U.K. imitators and, of course, single-disc U.S. editions which started in 1998. And this Autumn 2001 release celebrates their 50th installent. Part of the fun of buying the U.K. "Now"s is listening to the U.K. hits for the first time and seeing if they become U.S. hits later on (such as Craig David's "Fill Me In"). The best reason to buy this collection is for Kylie Minogue's wonderfully catchy "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which was the #1 song in the U.K. for 2001 and is now making a rapid rise up the U.S. charts. Also, iio's "Rapture" (not related to the Blondie song) has just entered the U.S. charts. Other familiar U.S. hits include "What Would You Do", Turn Off the Light", Alien Ant Farm's wonderful Michael Jackson tribute "Smooth Criminal", "Fat Lip", J-Lo's original version of "Ain't It Funny" (Once again, a remix with Ja Rule is becoming more popular, much like "I'm Real"), "Little L", "Bootylicious", "Purple Hills", "Let Me Blow Your Mind", "Family Affair" (unfortunately, it fades early), "Baby Come on Over" (a mix a little different than on "Now 7"), "Because I Got High" (the editing here was ridiculous), and Britney's sickening Prince imitation, "I'm a Slave 4 U" (Sadly, it will be on "Now 9"). U.K. highlights include "Mambo #5" (Bob the Builder's reworked Lou Bega hit), "Let's Dance" (the last hit for boy band Five), "Take Me Home" (Cher's disco hit with reworked lyrics), "Heaven is a Halfpipe", "What If" (Yes, Kate Winslet CAN sing!), and "Digital Love". Lowlights include worthless remakes of "Uptown Girl", "Hey Baby", and "Stuck in the Middle With You" (too many U.K. artists rely on remakes). There seems to be a lot less "filler" than on most of the other U.K. "Now"s. The only drawback is the high price tag. But, unless you plan to visit Europe, you cannot find reasonable prices for these.

    4 out of 5 stars One of NOW's best UK Compilations!!!.......2001-12-22

    Its not suprising for the edition number 50, that this would be a great compilation. It has songs from all around the world. Mostly US and UK. Some Us hits like "I'm A Slave 4 U", "Family Affair", "Smooth Criminal" and "Bootylicious". Plus some UK hits from people like Samantha Mumba, Daft Punk, former Spice Girls, Steps and Five, even a cool remake of Billy Joels' song "Uptown Girl" by Westlife. Anyway her's the tracklisting for this double disc compilation and let you decide.
