Customer Reviews:

Good collection, Could have been better.......2006-11-08

I would have preferred another Lynn Collins song in lieu of the Marva Whitney song. They also could have added Maceo and the Macs (Soul Power) or A.A.B.B. (PIC UP THE PIECES ONE BY ONE) to this collection to give it a rounded sound. Nevertheless, you can't go wrong with James, Bobby,the JB's and Lynn...

Balanced collection .......2005-06-27

While we're still dreaming of more adventurous offers from Polydor, something like the CD debut of "Live at the Garden", or the deluxe edition of "Revolution of the Mind", or any number of previously unreleased concerts believed to be gathering dust in the vaults, this set will do just fine: 12 tracks including a long version of Bobby Byrd's classic "I Know You Got Soul" (with a Brown countdown); "The Message From The Soul Sisters", a great recording with Vicki Anderson, who it appears returned to the musical family after about a three-year absence when Marva Whitney became lead diva; and the long, long overdue "What Do I Have To Do To Prove My Love To You", from the aforementioned Marva, another catchy cut from an artist who should have had many more charters, including this one. [Fans/historians look for JB's "You've Changed" from the recent "Motherlode" CD for an interesting similiarity]. Beyond these cuts, we have more familiar, heavily recycled things like "Funky President (People It's Bad)", "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved", the last of these presumed to have a live-at-the-Apollo companion sitting up on the shelf.
There are some classy photos adorning this package, some from television 1970-71. Maybe a future release will contain some performances from that period from the Mike Douglas Show, Playboy After Dark, Merv Griffin, etc.

This is the third in the series of compilation discs assembled by Robert Aubry Davis, host and producer of the long-standing public radio series Millennium of Music. Where volume two of the series drew on music for the Christmas season, this volume concentrates on music for Holy Week and Easter; more interestingly, it draws from the rich and varied catalog of early music recordings distributed in the U.S. by Qualiton Imports under the "Gioia Antiqua" imprint. Possibly the most valuable thing about this is that it features lesser-known performers right alongside well-established, highly respected groups such as the Orlando Consort and the Bach Collegium Japan (both in fine form here). Of course, with such a variety of lesser-known ensembles and small labels, this juxtaposition flatters some of these artists more than others. Some appear quite impressive (Schola Gregoriana Pragensis and Ensemble Daedalus, for example); others seem not ready for prime time (Westfälische Kantorei and the Spanish choir Musica Ficta). A particular treat is a medieval motet played by the legendary Dutch recorder trio Sour Cream (one of whose members was conductor Frans Brüggen). On a reasonably priced compilation disc like this, variable quality isn't a major drawback--use it to explore, find what appeals to you, and go on from there. It should be quite a stimulating endeavor. --Matthew Westphal

Spiritually Moving.......2006-02-13

A beautiful selection of mostly choral pieces from the Baroque and pre-Baroque era. The choices are a mix of the familiar and unfamiliar which make listening to this a pleasure. Chosen for the Easter season, the selections are spiritually moving and will put you in touch with all that is sacred and holy. Performance is impeccable and the sound is rich, resonating with the lofty space of a cathedral.
