What a stage presence.......2004-08-31

LP truly is a ROCK STAR!! I just caught LP's show last night at the Viper Room in LA and have to say it was the best show I've seen all year!! I didn't have any cash to buy her albums there so I had to rush home and buy them both on Amazon. The band combines energy, excellent lyrics, awesome vocals, guitars, and drums into an incredible rock show. Don't miss this band LIVE!!!

Powerhouse voice.......2004-06-25

LP has a powerhouse voice that belies her look. I first discovered her as the singer of the hidden track "My Cinderella" on Cracker's Gentlemen's Blues album. I have seen her live with Cracker and solo. The songs on this album are superb. She can rock and she can sing ballads. Her voice is like something out of a jazz speakeasy in the twenties - raspy, hard and sweet all at once. Check out "Perfect" and "Coming Home" as evidence.

LP is a rock star.......2004-06-03

No CD is going to fully do justice to the quality of LP's voice. You've got to see her live--she's got an awesome stage presence and her vocal range and control is stunning--that girl is LOUD. That said, Heart-Shaped Scar is the next best thing. "Coming Home", "Shut You Out", and "Insane" are great songs--not like anything I've heard before. I'm a sucker for great vocalists and LP sings like some of the folks I've seen on Broadway. Thank God she's rock and roll, though--we need an injection of true talent in modern music with all the crap that's out there now. BUY THIS ALBUM--SEE THIS BAND LIVE--you will be floored.

Holy shamoly, alacazam,...what a VOICE!!!.......2004-05-29

If I had to desribe the perfect rock album this would be it. I saw LP when she opened for Living Colour, and I saw her with Cracker twice! She is probably one of the best performers out there today. on a scale of 1-10 she is an 11...

my favorite tune is "kiss it all goodbye". the story behind this song is dark and eery...the whole album is incredible.

if she doesn't get the recognition and attention she deserves the world will have been cheated...in a nation of cookie cutter pop...people need to hear something totally real and pure...this singer will leave you breathless and begging for more. LP is a savior of pure Rock and Roll... I believe this with all my heart!

ROCK STARS THEY ARE, AND GOD BLESS THEM FOR THAT!!!

Product Description

A Beautiful Friendship is a wonderful, swinging mainstream/bebop piano trio album. Pianist Lenore Raphael has the ability to create new tunes out of timeless standards and make them fresh and her own. The album title reflects the relationship between the musicians. The interplay between the piano, bass and drums tells us that these are three people who have worked together often and enjoy the ride. Ballads are pure emotion; up tempo tunes are swinging and full of joy.

A "Well" for Modern Afro-Cuban Jazz.......2007-01-20

This CD has, in a very short time, become one of my favorite Latin, Afro-Cuban jazz albums. A full orchestra of exemplary Latin musicians play intricate, but very clean, versions of old and new Latin jazz. In a way, it's comparable to what Don Byron did for early, '20s jazz on "Bug Music". The scores are well-thought out, and the music is not too brassy and overly dense, as some recorded Latin music can be. Rhythmic throughout - you can see this as being an inspiration for the music being played now by the likes of Pancho Sanchez, Arturo Sandoval and Pacquito d'Rivera, to name only a few. No wonder it received a Grammy nomination upon its release. Terrific!

Electric Scotto.......2002-09-25

I like much of Scotto's artistry, but this is just not her cup of tea. Her high notes sound like they are plugged into an electric socket! AHHHHH!!!... Even her usual, wonderful word painting is not there. Her Vien's at the end of the garden scene are worse than the most mushy mouthed Sutherland (who could at least produce beautiful sounds). Get the Sony arias disc with Renata Scotto, which, oddly enough, shows her in much better and firmer voice, even though it was recorded later.

Ghiaurov is magnificent, as always and Kraus provides more elegant support than many of his later recordings.
If you want a verismo-like performance, get the recording with Freni (awesome......the largest voiced Margie on record). Domingo is dramatic, beautiful, if without a great high C. The final trio is SO dramatic. Hmmmm, what to buy?

Unique Kraus in exceptional Faust.......2000-06-22

One of the aspects that made of Alfredo Kraus an exceptional singer was the care with which he chose the roles that resulted most adequate to his voice and temper. Faust was one of these paradigmatic roles, but unfortunatelly he never made a studio recording of this opera. The Tokio live recording of 1973 is thus an exceptional substitute and probably the only chance to enjoy the master's full Faust. By the time of this recording, he was at the highest point of his carreer, and we may appreciate here his precise technique, the delicacy of this style and the adequacy of his voice for the French repertoire. His 'Salut, demeure ... ' is a masterclass of singing. Ghiaurov follows the tradition of the Russian and Bulgarian basses and composes an overacted but vocally splendid Mephistophèles. He was also at the highest point of his carreer. Renata Scotto was an irregular soprano, but her Margheritte is excellent (probably only surpassed on records by Victoria de los Angeles in this role). Ethuin's direction is agile, perhaps too rapid in the choirs. The quality of the sound is good, and the price is astonishingly low. The complete recording of the Tokio version is rare and very difficult to get, so this selection of highlights is an alternative to consider seriously. Given the low price of this CD, it is a must for any opera lover and Kraus fan.
