Where Are You My Brothers.......2005-08-04

Dmitri Hvorostovsky's voice is at its amazing, beautiful, passionate best. He seamlessly moves from silken pianissimo to forte, conveying all the tragedy and futility of life lost through war, the false hope and despair of soldiers who have trudged too far and seen too much death, destruction and experienced too much pain, fear and hunger.

songs of courage, loneliness, patriotism.......2004-08-02

Of my nearly 20 Dmitri Hvorostovsky albums, this one is in the Top 3, which has Dmitri singing in quite a different style than what he is most famous for, as one of the great operatic singers of our era, and this CD is far from the "opera singer does crossover CD" type of recording, which can sometimes be quite awful, but sings softly and with intense passion and sincerity, his dark honey toned baritone perfect for these melodious, gorgeous songs.
Though the focus of the songs is WWII, some were written as early as 1905 ("The Hills of Manchuria"), to the wonderful "Cranes" from 1969, and "Somewhere Far Away" was the title for a TV series ("17 Moments of Spring"), about a Russian spy in Nazi Germany, that was shown in 1973.

Some songs are more sublime than others, like "Unexpected Waltz" and "On a Nameless Hill", but there isn't a single composition that isn't filled with beauty and performed to perfection. Hvorostovsky has a voice that is a gift of God, with the technique of a master, and the soul of a true artist.
He is backed brilliantly by Constantine Orbelian and the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, the folk group Style of Five, and the rousing sound of the Spiritual Revival Choir of Russia.
The booklet insert is excellent, with liner notes, bios, lyrics in English and transliterated Russian; the sound is good and total playing time is 57'28.

The most beautiful male voice there is.......2003-12-26

The sound of very beginning phrase of it's first song "Somewhere Far Away" grabbed me. This title song for TV series was sung in his natural voice rather than operatic singing. I found it absolutely beautiful. Have you ever heard Dmitri's speaking voice? Renee Fleming quoted "Dmitri has the most beautiful male voice I've ever heard". Well I must say many of us have to agree with her. This album is a good collection of war time songs that indicate harsh reality of soldier's life and emotional state. He expressed them very eloquently. Text has translations but you can feel the depth without it. These songs are melodious and tuneful, I liked his flexible singing of forte to exquisite pianissimo. This is not just sell out for Russians but to everyone. As a Japanese, we grew up in Russian folk songs were heard everywhere. It's nice he introduced us to further extension of Russian materials. Evidently his colaboration with his father and Orbelian worked well. I also appreciate the lightness of "Katyusha" is a nice bonus. I thoroughly enjoyed this and I recomend it to everyone. I hope I get to hear these in his recital someday.

On the fifth anniversary of the recording in Champaign, IL.......2004-12-29

Tibanna still lives in the hearts and minds of the 20-somethings of the greater Portland, OR area. Although no longer together as a band, the foursome remain friends and musical allies. Josh is currently heading up a band (RAYNO) in Burbank, CA with Cam Newlin of STOMP fame. They play frequently in venues throughout the Southland: the Strip as well as other college venues. Josh's latest EP is called Hydrogen Blossom and by Spring of '05, there will be a full-length CD released. Visit him at www.rayno.net

Rock Soldiers indeed..........2001-03-20

If you're searching for true rock music, look no further than Tibanna. Buy this album and turn it up, then let it grow on you. Not only will you be impressed, you'll probably try to figure out exactly "who they sound like." The answer to this question is simple, they sound like Tibanna, and no one else...and that's certainly a good thing. This is rock, original and crunchy. Plus there's the talent. The lead guitar is subtle but amazing (and totally blew me away in "Aphelion"), the bass adds to the thrash factor, the drumming is original and far from formulaic, and the the always intense vocal lines leave the listener with no choice but to rock. Go ahead and compare Tibanna with Fugazi, Weezer, or Hum...one thing stands true: Tibanna is definitely in the same league with these guys. And when you hear them, you'll know why.

Oh yeah, they're one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Be a rock soldier; check 'em out.

Trying to stand on the shoulders of giants doesn't work.......2001-03-18

Comparing Tibanna to great bands such as Weezer or Superdrag is a huge joke. Rivers and John can both sing well, where as Tibanna`s lead singer Josh sounds like he's pushing the envelope on even the simplist notes. Somewhat like a famous frog named kermit. Somehow by affiliating themselves with these giants, Tibanna feels as if they are somehow similar to them, but when listening to both back to back, there is a huge difference. Weezer and Superdrag have what Tibanna doesn't, talent.

Rock redefined..........2001-02-24

TIBANNA will be huge! If you haven't already purchased their CD, do so immediately! You will regret it for the rest of your days if you don't. It is so exciting to be in on the ground floor of this up and coming rock band. Their energy is contagious and their commitment to success is inspirational. This CD will become a favorite, I assure you, and if you have the opportunity to see them live, make it happen, they are incredible in person. Rock on TIBANNA!

fascinating........2001-02-11

When I first heard Tibanna play live (which fortunately I had the great honor of hearing) I really liked them. They seem a bit reminiscent of Weezer really, but a bit more hard-core. They have an interesting mixture on this album. Everything comes together, good song writing, great GREAT music (I had "Bombshell" stuck in my head the entire weekend after the concert due to incessant replay of the cd) and Josh does an awesome job on vocals. This album isn't too hard, not too soft, they're someplace in between. I'd reccommend this album for those who are interested in the more unique brand of rock, they're not at all mainstream, definitely aren't pop, but they still maintain a catchiness that isn't too often found in most new bands on the NW scene. Personally, my favorite songs on the album were the first two ("Bombshell" and "No Radio"), but I came to like every other one as I listened to them more and more. Check them out: buy the album, see them if they come to your hometown (DEFINITELY do this, they are FANTASTIC live), visit their website, you will not be sorry, I promise you.
