Product Description
Original soundtrack with oustanding Irving Berlin songs performed by Dick Powell, Alice Faye and Madeleine Carroll.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.
Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grapelli together had made some of the most beautiful music ever-recorded. And I believe that this is one of the many successful albums they recorded together. In this recording, both violinists have showed their excellent musicianship and interpretative eloquence as well, making it one of my most cherished CDs from my collection.
These are the main ingredients of a perfectly-made CD for your listening pleasure: mix violins, piano, bass and drums together, combine two terrific violinists, season with the best melodies in the 20s, 30s and 40s from Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart. Add the musical talents of Nelson Riddle, Max Harris, Martin Taylor, Eddie Tripp, Alan Clare and the rest of the studio musicians. Now all you have to do is to sit back, relax and savor these stunning melodies coming from your CD player. Listen to it in full-volume and fill your music room with the sheer beauty of these classics.
One of my favorite musical instruments is violin. With its four strings, it gives a whole wide range of musical versatility and I simply love the fascinating sound it produces.
My personal highlights are the best tunes from Jerome Kern - "The Way You Look Tonight" (Nelson Riddle arranged this particular track and conducted the Woodwind and Brass section), "A Fine Romance," "Pick Yourself Up," "Why Do I Love You?" and "All The Things You Are."
My choices from Irving Berlin's gems are - "Isn't It A Lovely Day?" featuring the great artistry of Nelson Riddle in arranging and conducting, "Cheek To Cheek" and "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm."
The Cole Porter repertoire represented his musical sophistication in "Night And Day," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Just One Of Those Things."
The choice cuts from the talented and creative team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are "My Funny Valentine" and "Thou Swell."
Listening to this CD is so delectable and equivalent to having my favorite dessert - be it Tiramisu, New York Cheesecake, Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Soufflé, Créme Brulee, Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate-Coated Strawberries! ;)
A musical treat.
Rodgers and Hammerstein's musicals dominated Broadway in the 1940s and 1950s, and American musical theater has produced no more consistently eloquent and durable voice than Richard Rodgers. From his fertile genius flowed a surprising number of memorable songs, many of which have passed into and become an accepted and beloved part of modern American culture.
This well-filled CD (77:36) features symphonic arrangements (all but two by Robert Russell Bennett) of the music from Oklahoma (1943), Carousel (1945), State Fair (1945), South Pacific (1949), The King and I (1951), Flower Drum Song (1958), and The Sound of Music (1959). All the great tunes are here in suites from each musical that average 10-12 minutes in length. The arrangements are expert: rich, varied, and colorful. The performances are polished, idiomatic, and irresistible; Kunzel and this orchestra are thorough masters of this kind of material. And Telarc's sound (recorded 1991) is state-of-the-art (engineer Michael Bishop deserves to take a bow).
In short, there's nothing here to cloud your listening pleasure (the only quibble I can imagine is that some of your favorites may not last long enough), so it's hard for me to envision anyone with ears and a taste for music who wouldn't enjoy this CD. Warmly recommended. Finally, if you like this one as much as I do, you might want to know that the same team has produced a companion volume, the Lerner & Lowe Songbook for Orchestra.
INTRODUCTION:
In the early seventies, the glam rock movement swept across Europe. Among the British artists who made it big in this classic rock age was David Bowie. David Bowie's success was due in great part to the classic 1972 Ziggy Stardust album. That album featured some of the most amazing classic rock guitar playing of all time - thanks to an up-and-coming guitar genius named Mick Ronson. When David Bowie disbanded the Spiders From Mars (his touring band from the Ziggy Stardust era), Ronson went solo. Unfortunately, his career as a solo artist never saw success anywhere near that of the man he once served as a backing musician for. Ronson's first solo album, Slaughter On Tenth Avenue, was recorded in late 1973 and released the following year. Read on, and see how the first solo effort from the ex-Spider measures up!
OVERVIEW:
Mick Ronson released his first solo album, Slaughter On Tenth Avenue, on RCA Records on March 1, 1974. Trevor Bolder, Aynsley Dunbar (later of Journey) and Mike Garson were among the backing musicians used on the album. Ronson himself produced the record. The album tracklist consists of Love Me Tender, Growing Up And I'm Fine, Only After Dark, Music Is Lethal, I'm The One, Pleasure Man/Hey Ma Get Pa, and Slaughter On Tenth Avenue.
REVIEW:
It really is disappointing just how underrated a guy Mick Ronson is. He recorded many excellent albums, both solo albums and albums with other artists, and was unfortunate enough to die at the age of forty-six. But in his fairly short lifetime, Ronson created some of the finest rock and roll the world had ever known. The few people who discover his work (mostly fans of the old Bowie stuff who want to see what he sounded like after) will not deny that it is excellent, and I'm no different. Ronson's first solo outing definitely sounds like Ziggy-era Bowie. Ronson even mimics Bowie's singing style in many places on the record. Now, let's take a look at the tracks that comprise Ronson's solo debut.
-SIDE A-
-Love Me Tender: Starting off the album is a cover of the old tune made famous by Elvis Presley. Ronson's take on the song keeps it true to the original, but he adds his own glam rock spin onto it - he obviously wanted to show off his guitar skills, and does just that. This was an excellent way to start the album.
-Growing Up And I'm Fine: Here we have a melodic, fast-paced piano piece. David Bowie wrote this song, and with Ronson mimicking Bowie's singing style, this could easily be mistaken for a David Bowie performance. The song definitely helps to show of Ronson's musical diversity. Another excellent song.
-Only After Dark: This was Ronson's biggest hit as a solo artist, and appropriately so, since it rules. The song is a hard, mid-paced glam rocker with a catchy beat and memorable lyrics. From start to finish, this one will grab your attention and keep a hold of it all the way through. A Ronson masterpiece more than worthy of its lofty status.
-Music Is Lethal: For this song, the pace and the intensity are slowed down dramatically. This an extremely slow and melodic tune, with some orchestral-style backing instrumentation. As the song progresses, though, Mick begins implementing more and more of his own musical elements into the mix. The end result is another solid addition to the album.
-SIDE B-
-I'm The One: For the most part, this is another one of those slower tunes. But it's got that certain glam rock vibe to it only Ronson could pull off. With its unique stylings from start to finish, this is one song on the album that is truly and uniquely Ronson's own.
-Pleasure Man/Hey Ma Get Pa: As the title of this song may have implied, it is actually a medley of two songs. Pleasure Man is one of those slow-mid paced glam rockers with heavy piano usage. Not surprisingly, Ronson throws his guitar playing into the mix, as well. Hey Ma Get Pa, the latter half of the medley, is the only song ever written by both Bowie and Ronson. This short-lived half of the song is irregular but excellent, featuring heavy electronic instrumentation, and a unique vocal style that sticks with you long after you're done listening to the song. This is a solid medley.
-Slaughter On Tenth Avenue: The title track finishing off the album is a cover of the old Gershwin instrumental favorite. And Mick Ronson takes the classical favorite and makes it sound better than ever. Ronson's classic glam rock sound is awesome here, sounding as good as it ever would. If there's one piece that shows just how talented and how diverse of a guitarist Ronson is, this is the one your looking for. And that, my friends, is how to end an album on a high note.
OVERALL:
Overall, Mick Ronson's first solo album was a glam rock masterpiece! I simply can't believe how underrated this is. I once read that this was "one of the lost albums of the seventies," and after giving it a listen, it's not at all hard to see where that train of thought came from. If you're a fan of David Bowie and you're eager to see where the guitar genius went after that classic period, or maybe you're just looking for some of the finest glam rock money can buy, this album is for you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
EDITION NOTES:
Although this album has been out of print for many years, it was recently, at long last, reissued. The reissued version features expanded liner notes, excellently remastered sound, as well as four hard-to-find bonus tracks! This new issue of the album is the definitive version on compact disc. It's tough to come by, but if you want to hear it, get it by any means necessary.
Mick Ronson was Bowie's lead guitarist during his first (and some would say, best) phase. I was never clear about what the relationship was between the two -- from Bowie putting his arm around Ronson on 'Starman' for Top of the Pops to the oral string-plucking of his guitar in concert. But after 'Aladdin Sane', Ronson had left the Bowie line-up. And Bowie's next -- 'Diamond Dogs' -- is generally viewed as much weaker than its predecessors.
'Slaughter on 10th Avenue' was Ronson's first solo album, arriving at some point after 'Aladdin Sane'. A study mate at the time bought the album, and even then, the LP wasn't on his turntable too often. The album is a collection of reasonably attractive songs, and you can immediately hear in Ronson's tone why he was provided such suitable backing vocals for Bowie. And like Bowie's 'Pin Ups' of about the same period, there are some covers: 'Love Me Tender' and 'Slaughter on 10th Avenue'. Unfortunately this re-issue by Snapper contains no songwriting credits (very naughty -- let's hope the lawyers don't find out about that), or indeed any information about who plays what.
The cover art is pretty much as I remember the LP, and there is a 500-word retrospective on Ronson, who died of cancer in 1993. If you're a Bowie completist, you have to have this album, because Bowie is certainly in the mix on some tunes, singing if not also writing.
Just plain happy, instrumental music.
Highly recommend to everyone.
The six tracks on the album range in length from 2'58" to 12'50" and feature a range of tones and dynamic contrasts. Another interesting aspect of the music, and I never expected to discuss this in a review of an electronic composition, is the abundant use of melodies, harmonies, and most importantly both rhythmic and melodic counterpoint. In fact, it is amazing what Larry achieved with just the use of a mini-moog, an Oberheim Polyphonic, and a Mellotron 400. In fact, it makes me wonder what it would have sounded like if he had scored these complicated synthesizer pieces for rock instruments, including a full drum kit.
Interestingly, Larry's link with prog rock is not as tenuous as one might think with his being an electronic composer and he struck up a good working relationship with the prog band Nektar around this time. His excellent work can be heard on Nektar's Recycled album (1975).
This remastered album features restored cover art and excellent sound quality, along with some skimpy liner notes.
This album is very highly recommended to those electronica fans who want something a little more varied than the typical fare. Also recommended are two albums by Isao Tomita including Snowflakes are Dancing (1974) and The Tomita Planets (1976).

Album Description
Roy Buchanan was one of America's most soulful masters of the electric guitar. His reputation as "the world's greatest guitarist" extends back to the beginnings of rock `n' roll, when he first hit the road with Dale Hawkins. He was a pioneer in the use of controlled harmonics, and all of rock's greatest guitarists acknowledge him as a master. The tracks on this album bear witness to that testimony.Customer Reviews:

After several recordings of American popular music, Te Kanawa has become a very effective crooner, phrasing with heretofore missing panache. The easy, jazzy Riddle-like arrangements are bouncy and appealing. But after 15 selections, the mysterious dissatisfaction of eating Chinese food and feeling hungry an hour later remains. Tunick writes in his program notes that "the waltz ballads ... are poignant and moving, but never stray into sentimentality." But why not? A little mushiness would serve this recording well, and also contribute to a desperately lacking variety of interpretation. Still, the voice is consistently gorgeous; it would just be nice to distinguish the happy songs from the sad. --Barbara Eisner BayerCustomer Reviews:
Irving Berlin at his best.......2007-06-26
Get's my vote!.......2004-04-03
And I've heard many of them, and I love their work.
But Kiri Te Kanawa is different. She was given one of the most beautiful instruments in the history of sound recordings. Thank God the recording companies figured out what they had and put her in front of a microphone early and often.
We have had a rare opportunity to experience a great artist from almost the start of her career clear through to what now must be it's final stages.
I, for one, feel privileged.
Thank you, Dame Kiri. The world is a little better place because of you.
Jazzy and Beautiful.......2002-09-01
I love it!.......2002-05-14
I can imagine Nick and Nora Charles listening to this at one of Nick's favorite dives! It will transport you to a sophisticated time and place that may have never existed except in literature and debutante coming out parties.
Gatsby would have loved it, and surely would have invited Kiri to all his parties!
Simply Dreadful.......2001-01-17
Her version of "What'll I do" alone earns her a place on the top ten list of abominable recordings of American music.

Irresistible.......2005-07-29
Rodgers and Hammerstein's musicals dominated Broadway in the 1940s and 1950s, and American musical theater has produced no more consistently eloquent and durable voice than Richard Rodgers. From his fertile genius flowed a surprising number of memorable songs, many of which have passed into and become an accepted and beloved part of modern American culture.
This well-filled CD (77:36) features symphonic arrangements (all but two by Robert Russell Bennett) of the music from Oklahoma (1943), Carousel (1945), State Fair (1945), South Pacific (1949), The King and I (1951), Flower Drum Song (1958), and The Sound of Music (1959). All the great tunes are here in suites from each musical that average 10-12 minutes in length. The arrangements are expert: rich, varied, and colorful. The performances are polished, idiomatic, and irresistible; Kunzel and this orchestra are thorough masters of this kind of material.

"Some Enchanted Evening" with Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops.......2003-12-26
This CD has all the scores arranged chronologically. The OKLAHOMA! suite that opens this disc promises a feast for the senses, Kunzel ably evokes the territory's "bright, golden haze" in the way he conducts the various excerpts, until you feel the atmosphere of the country charm of the show, and the love-affair between Curly and Laurey. Then, in CAROUSEL, he ably evokes the pathos of this tragic R&H masterwork, especially in the truncated Waltz, but he leads a wonderfully melodic "June is Bustin' Out All Over" and a devotional "You'll Never Walk Alone." Although this suite does not include Billy's pivotal Soliloquy, it includes "If I Loved You" as an expression of his love for Julie, and within minutes you could be soaked in the ups and downs of the show's mood.
After a brief STATE FAIR suite, with sweeping renditions of "It Might As Well Be Spring" and "It's a Grand Night for Singing", we are brought into the disc's showstopping highlights. These highlights are the excerpts from SOUTH PACIFIC, THE KING AND I, and THE SOUND OF MUSIC. But yet Kunzel conducts the rest of the disc until the various suites amount to a series of showstoppers. These three suites present wonderfully-arranged versions of their many familiar classic songs, with well-played solos. The SOUTH PACIFIC suite presents the songs in chronological order, yet preserves the atmosphere of the show at the same time. Kunzel ably brings out the romance in "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Younger than Springtime," and contrasts it with the exotic and dreamlike "Bali Hai'i" and the comic "There is Nothing like a Dame" and "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair". Although the suite ends quietly with a reprise of "Dites-Moi" rather than the reprise of "Some Enchanted Evening," within minutes we are swept into the KING AND I suite. Kunzel ably brings out the Oriental pathos in this score, and he captures the warmth of Anna's rapport with the King's Siamese children in "Getting to Know You", and with the King himself in "Shall We Dance." There is also romance in the love ballads "I Have Dreamed" and "We Kiss in a Shadow." Similarly, in the selection from THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Kunzel conducts this until the orchestra soaks itself in the atmosphere of this Austrian R&H score. This SOUND OF MUSIC suite has more of a feel of the score compared to the bonus track on Sony's reissued version of the Broadway recording. You can almost feel as if you are following the progress of the Trapp family and how it lifts its spirits with the joy of music. Kunzel gives us a soaring version of the title song, and spirited versions of "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favourite Things." He balances it with the open-air quality of "Edelweiss" and "The Lonely Goatherd." Although this suite could have included "Something Good," the love ballad written for the film, the three recollections of the songs that were cut from the movie only last for a while. And, the towering version of "Climb Every Mountain" crowns this portion of the disc, and this sumptuously-produced recording. But, I should also mention the infectuous FLOWER DRUM SONG medley, where Kunzel turns this underrated score into a work of art, until it convinces you to buy the cast recording. And, don't forget about the brief CINDERELLA WALTZ, too, when Kunzel conducts it magically, until you feel like you are in the company of Cinderella and the Prince. He is able to show how this R&H score marked a comeback for R&H after the failiures of Me and Juliet, and Pipe Dream.
Overall, this glorious Rodgers and Hammerstein recording is guarunteed to make you want to pucker your lips out for a whistle or sing along (to paraphrase another revew for Kunzel's Disney Spectacular disc) - even if this recording is music only, and as long as you know the words to the songs (and you might know a large handful of them already.) There is always a certain magic in this fine CD that makes you feel like you're sitting in the theatre watching these musicals, until it makes you feel like it is truly, to borrow two R&H song titles, "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Something Wonderful" to be in Kunzel's company for this R&H offering. It would certainly be one recording that could make you feel willing to buy the complete cast recordings of the shows. And I guaruntee that it will make you feel willing to pull out your existing copies of the cast recordings to listen to them again. I also guaruntee that it will be a cornerstone in any Rodgers and Hammerstein collection, just as it is in mine. Recommended heartily to any Rodgers and Hammerstein enthusiast and to fans of Erich Kunzel's work. And, you can play it while reading the Richard Rodgers biography, Musical Stages, until Rodgers himself would count this as his favourite disc in the afterlife.
By the way, most of the arrangements for the suites on this CD were done by the veteran R&H orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett, and it surely adds to the appeal of this recording. This itself is enough to amount to the icing on the cake, since Kunzel conducts them well on here, and since this recording still allows the suites to have the original theatrical atmosphere. And, although this recording is like the Mauceri collection of the Rodgers & Hammerstein overtures in compiling orchestral suites of Rodgers & Hammerstein, I think that I like the Kunzel recording even more because Kunzel has more magic in his conducting of these suites.

Ronson's classic solo debut.......2006-02-09
INTRODUCTION:
In the early seventies, the glam rock movement swept across Europe. Among the British artists who made it big in this classic rock age was David Bowie. David Bowie's success was due in great part to the classic 1972 Ziggy Stardust album. That album featured some of the most amazing classic rock guitar playing of all time - thanks to an up-and-coming guitar genius named Mick Ronson. When David Bowie disbanded the Spiders From Mars (his touring band from the Ziggy Stardust era), Ronson went solo. Unfortunately, his career as a solo artist never saw success anywhere near that of the man he once served as a backing musician for. Ronson's first solo album, Slaughter On Tenth Avenue, was recorded in late 1973 and released the following year. Read on, and see how the first solo effort from the ex-Spider measures up!
OVERVIEW:
Mick Ronson released his first solo album, Slaughter On Tenth Avenue, on RCA Records on March 1, 1974. Trevor Bolder, Aynsley Dunbar (later of Journey) and Mike Garson were among the backing musicians used on the album. Ronson himself produced the record. The album tracklist consists of Love Me Tender, Growing Up And I'm Fine, Only After Dark, Music Is Lethal, I'm The One, Pleasure Man/Hey Ma Get Pa, and Slaughter On Tenth Avenue.
REVIEW:
It really is disappointing just how underrated a guy Mick Ronson is. He recorded many excellent albums, both solo albums and albums with other artists, and was unfortunate enough to die at the age of forty-six. But in his fairly short lifetime, Ronson created some of the finest rock and roll the world had ever known. The few people who discover his work (mostly fans of the old Bowie stuff who want to see what he sounded like after) will not deny that it is excellent, and I'm no different. Ronson's first solo outing definitely sounds like Ziggy-era Bowie. Ronson even mimics Bowie's singing style in many places on the record. Now, let's take a look at the tracks that comprise Ronson's solo debut.
-SIDE A-
-Love Me Tender: Starting off the album is a cover of the old tune made famous by Elvis Presley. Ronson's take on the song keeps it true to the original, but he adds his own glam rock spin onto it - he obviously wanted to show off his guitar skills, and does just that. This was an excellent way to start the album.
-Growing Up And I'm Fine: Here we have a melodic, fast-paced piano piece. David Bowie wrote this song, and with Ronson mimicking Bowie's singing style, this could easily be mistaken for a David Bowie performance. The song definitely helps to show of Ronson's musical diversity. Another excellent song.
-Only After Dark: This was Ronson's biggest hit as a solo artist, and appropriately so, since it rules. The song is a hard, mid-paced glam rocker with a catchy beat and memorable lyrics. From start to finish, this one will grab your attention and keep a hold of it all the way through. A Ronson masterpiece more than worthy of its lofty status.
-Music Is Lethal: For this song, the pace and the intensity are slowed down dramatically. This an extremely slow and melodic tune, with some orchestral-style backing instrumentation. As the song progresses, though, Mick begins implementing more and more of his own musical elements into the mix. The end result is another solid addition to the album.
-SIDE B-
-I'm The One: For the most part, this is another one of those slower tunes. But it's got that certain glam rock vibe to it only Ronson could pull off. With its unique stylings from start to finish, this is one song on the album that is truly and uniquely Ronson's own.
-Pleasure Man/Hey Ma Get Pa: As the title of this song may have implied, it is actually a medley of two songs. Pleasure Man is one of those slow-mid paced glam rockers with heavy piano usage. Not surprisingly, Ronson throws his guitar playing into the mix, as well. Hey Ma Get Pa, the latter half of the medley, is the only song ever written by both Bowie and Ronson. This short-lived half of the song is irregular but excellent, featuring heavy electronic instrumentation, and a unique vocal style that sticks with you long after you're done listening to the song. This is a solid medley.
-Slaughter On Tenth Avenue: The title track finishing off the album is a cover of the old Gershwin instrumental favorite. And Mick Ronson takes the classical favorite and makes it sound better than ever. Ronson's classic glam rock sound is awesome here, sounding as good as it ever would. If there's one piece that shows just how talented and how diverse of a guitarist Ronson is, this is the one your looking for. And that, my friends, is how to end an album on a high note.
OVERALL:
Overall, Mick Ronson's first solo album was a glam rock masterpiece! I simply can't believe how underrated this is. I once read that this was "one of the lost albums of the seventies," and after giving it a listen, it's not at all hard to see where that train of thought came from. If you're a fan of David Bowie and you're eager to see where the guitar genius went after that classic period, or maybe you're just looking for some of the finest glam rock money can buy, this album is for you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
EDITION NOTES:
Although this album has been out of print for many years, it was recently, at long last, reissued. The reissued version features expanded liner notes, excellently remastered sound, as well as four hard-to-find bonus tracks! This new issue of the album is the definitive version on compact disc. It's tough to come by, but if you want to hear it, get it by any means necessary.
4 and a half stars.......2005-07-06
An important footnote to Aladdin Sane.......2004-08-23
Mick Ronson was Bowie's lead guitarist during his first (and some would say, best) phase. I was never clear about what the relationship was between the two -- from Bowie putting his arm around Ronson on 'Starman' for Top of the Pops to the oral string-plucking of his guitar in concert. But after 'Aladdin Sane', Ronson had left the Bowie line-up. And Bowie's next -- 'Diamond Dogs' -- is generally viewed as much weaker than its predecessors.
'Slaughter on 10th Avenue' was Ronson's first solo album, arriving at some point after 'Aladdin Sane'. A study mate at the time bought the album, and even then, the LP wasn't on his turntable too often. The album is a collection of reasonably attractive songs, and you can immediately hear in Ronson's tone why he was provided such suitable backing vocals for Bowie. And like Bowie's 'Pin Ups' of about the same period, there are some covers: 'Love Me Tender' and 'Slaughter on 10th Avenue'. Unfortunately this re-issue by Snapper contains no songwriting credits (very naughty -- let's hope the lawyers don't find out about that), or indeed any information about who plays what.
The cover art is pretty much as I remember the LP, and there is a 500-word retrospective on Ronson, who died of cancer in 1993. If you're a Bowie completist, you have to have this album, because Bowie is certainly in the mix on some tunes, singing if not also writing.

A Classic Performance of Schuman!.......2000-09-17
I was disappointed with the manner with which the first two pieces by Berstein and Ives were conducted. The "Candide Orchestra" lacked the sensitivity of the performance by Lukas Foss /Milwaukee SO on the Pro Arte label, while Slatkin does a much better job with the Ives piece for RCA.
But the remainder of colorful material following Schuman on this CD - even with the overdone "Adagio for Strings" by Barber - makes for a very rewarding listening experience, with the only disappointing exception of the third piece ( "A Narrative") curiously missing from Virgil Thomson's "Acadian Songs and Dances", yet present on an old scratchy, mono LP that I have on the Decca label (Thomas Scherman /the Little Orchestra Society). Did Thomson later revise this suite? Or did this CD run out of space? If the latter is true, one can only wish that Barber's overplayed "Adagio" would have been bumped to make room for the entirety of Thomson's superb "Acadian Songs".

Great singing.......2006-03-01
Only Roberta.......2003-12-02
The Five Kid Songs express the imagination of a small child (Jupiter has seven moons, or is it nine? Saturn has a million billion trillion sixty-nine) and it would be very easy to perform them in a childish way, talking down as many adults do - the composer expressly stated that they should not be performed this way and in fact Alexander sings them with a perfectly natural innocence. La Bonne Cuisine is sung with a strong drive, and although it's hard to imagine what anyone should do with excerpts from a cooking book it's still compelling music. The other songs are also nice but not as memorable - as for the songs from Candide, they are beautiful but get the complete recording on Deutsche Grammophon, directed by Bernstein himself (there are two; I prefer the live version, ASIN B000001GD2).
Tan Crone does more than just provide a background; she adds her own interpretation on piano to add even more feeling to the music.
Bernstein's songs do not have the depth of Ives', but this is still a very nice collection. I will have to check out the Barber and Copland recordings on the same label as well.

Pre-Digital Electronic Music.......2006-08-24
A very sophisticated recording of electronic music.......2006-06-20
The six tracks on the album range in length from 2'58" to 12'50" and feature a range of tones and dynamic contrasts. Another interesting aspect of the music, and I never expected to discuss this in a review of an electronic composition, is the abundant use of melodies, harmonies, and most importantly both rhythmic and melodic counterpoint. In fact, it is amazing what Larry achieved with just the use of a mini-moog, an Oberheim Polyphonic, and a Mellotron 400. In fact, it makes me wonder what it would have sounded like if he had scored these complicated synthesizer pieces for rock instruments, including a full drum kit.
Interestingly, Larry's link with prog rock is not as tenuous as one might think with his being an electronic composer and he struck up a good working relationship with the prog band Nektar around this time. His excellent work can be heard on Nektar's Recycled album (1975).
This remastered album features restored cover art and excellent sound quality, along with some skimpy liner notes.
This album is very highly recommended to those electronica fans who want something a little more varied than the typical fare. Also recommended are two albums by Isao Tomita including Snowflakes are Dancing (1974) and The Tomita Planets (1976).
