Criminally Underrated.......2007-02-20
The lengthy concluding number "Good Thing We're Rappin'" doesn't do much for me. I find it to be too long and it's lack-luster structure strays from what made DU shine. I get the fact that they are paying homage to their love of music and how it has steered them away from another lifestyle, but in the delivery this becomes a mediocre Ice Cube narrative to my ears. Maybe the group was itching to try the "Too $hort" formula... it's not particularly awful, just sort of boring compared to the dizzying heights the rest of the album already took the listener.
I urge any serious music buff to re-visit the music of Digital Underground. I never fully appreciated their excellence until years later when my developed adult ear was capable of acknowledging just how clever, articulate and ahead of their times this group was. There is a sensitive politically conscious human message here. Shock G's charismatic, passionate delivery allows him to make deep statements without sounding preachy, or abrasive- in fact to the contrary he's selectively hilarious and easy to listen to on the whole.
I have yet to find a modern group this confident, creative and fun. Take the shuttle back to DU's early days... it is quite rewarding.

VERY SLEPT ON!.......2003-01-05
But the best song on this album, which barely receives mention is "Sons of the P". In my book, this song ranks as one of the funkiest hip hop songs ever...that's right, EVER. I think it deserves this status for several reasons. One, they were able to do so much in this song without it sounding overdone, overproduced, maintaining the funk, which is at its core. Two, the beats AND the lyrics were funky, in the P-Funk, free-your-mind-and-your-(butt)-will-follow sense. Here's a sample, "we're pulling down the pants to your mind/this time/we'll make love to you're intellect/the people in control are working very hard to keep your natural desires in check". Three, the song is in the funk anthem tradition, spanning 9 minutes, plus they make you feel like the song should not have ended a second sooner. Fourth, they were the perfect group to pull this off, with their funk base, comical approach, and their willingness to sacrifice album sales and commerical appeal for creativity and substance. This is truly an ode to the gods of funk. Clinton even hands the reigns of the funk over to them...the seal of approval. PLEASE GIVE THIS SONG A LISTEN! see for yourself. They are truly the "Sons of the P".

A passion and a problem.......2006-02-10
This volume in Philips' Great Pianists of the 20th Century series - the first of two dedicated to Michelangeli - is cleverly put together, presenting the maestro in some staples of his repertoire (especially Debussy and Ravel) and adding a couple of epoch-making recordings for good measure. The latter are Ravel's Piano Concerto in G and Gaspard de la Nuit, both definitive renditions which brought a new degree of technical finesse to those scores. The concerto, an early stereo register from 1957 in which Michelangeli is aptly partnered by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Ettore Gracis, is unmatched in the pianist's impeccable fingerwork, evenness of touch - notably in the first movement trills - and structural coherence. The Gaspard, recorded in 1959, remains a benchmark performance to this day, not only for its tremendous technical aplomb but also for Michelangeli's unique pedal control: Ondine and Le Gibet are waft on a myriad tones and hues, and Scarbo is taken not as a virtuoso study in the fashion of Argerich or Pogorelich, but as a dark, gloomy, almost hypnotic journey.
Debussy's Preludes confirm Michelangeli as one of the greatest keyboard colourists ever, each piece a sound world in itself, in a technically immaculate and tonally ravishing display. The Images fare less well, belonging as they do to the pianist's later period, when he apparently became overly conscious - one might say obsessed - with chord micromanagement and sound projection, resulting in performances which often resembled a collection of details rather than thorough interpretations (Michelangeli's 1987 Gaspard recorded in the Vatican is a case in point: slow, fragmentary and erratic, it is a parody of his earlier attempts, particularly the one shown here).
This first set on Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli shows many of his best moments, exhibiting his rich and variegated tone (he once said he aimed at a sound between the organ and the violin), his flawless technique and his deep-thinking interpretative approach. Some scintillating Scarlatti and Galuppi are also thrown in for a more complete representation of Michelangeli's favourite recorded repertoire. Therefore, in spite of the less inspired portions of the Debussy, it deserves 5 stars.
Sublime, but you may already have these performances.......2001-12-16
The only shortcoming of this collection is that if you want all the Debussy Preludes, you will need to buy two other full-price DG CDs, and if you want the Rachmaninov 4th Piano Concerto, you will need to buy a mid-priced EMI CD containing the Rachmaninov and the Ravel. The strength of this collection is that what's here is fabulous, and the cost is much less than buying the performances individually.
Michelangeli was a superb Debussy player. But it's worth noting that his performances were controversial, particularly these DG ones. A more mainstream (and also fabulous) recommendation for the Preludes might be Paul Jacobs's set or Walter Gieseking's set. Michelangeli's Debussy is much more chiseled than either Jacobs or Gieseking.
Michelangeli's Ravel is also superb, and not at all controversial--no one else comes close. His Gaspard is, well, unbelieveable. This particular performance is often regarded as his finest, and I think I agree. My favorite movement is the last, where the gnome in hiding is depicted by a barely audible tremolo. When it appears it is in a shocking trill.
So, this is a great intro to a magnificent pianist--and if you have these performances, then look at the Michelangeli II volume in the Great Pianists series. That volume is fully as great.

Gieseking was an extraordinary stylist and perhaps the century's greatest sonorist. His interpretations of Debussy were justly celebrated. Unhappily, the technology EMI possessed at the time these renditions of the Preludes were captured, in 1953 and 1954, does only marginal justice to him. At least the recordings were made in a reverberent acoustic well suited to the music, and the tone that comes through, while thin at the top, is solid. --Ted LibbeyCustomer Reviews:
