4 out of 5 stars Infectious Mood, Glorious Tunes.......2004-09-04

Before purchasing this CD I had never heard of Léo Délibes (1836 -1891), and it is a measure of the confidence I had (and still have) in Naxos that I bought the disc anyway. And I was not disappointed. I suppose you could in one sense say that ballet music without the visual experience of the ballet is like using toothpaste when you don't have any teeth; but the music on this disc tastes so good that it's really worth listening to anyway. Délibes was obviously a master of this genre, and here on this CD there are gathered some of his best tunes in his wonderfully varied and rich orchestrations. This is a hum-along, foot-tapping job, but with plenty of musical detail to keep one's mind busy, too. The "Airs de danse dans le style ancien" from the play "Le Roi s'amuse" have kept me fascinated ever since I first heard the disc: they don't sound in the least like the French music of a century or two earlier, but still they manage to evoke a bygone age. And the brief extracts from Coppélia, Sylvia, La Source and Kassya all contain delightful material that is certainly more than just a backdrop for a troupe of ballet dancers.

The Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra under Ondrej Lénard seems to have greatly enjoyed making the disc (at three recording sessions in 1988 and 1989). The musicians go at it with great gusto, and the mood is quite infectious. If I fail to award this disc five stars, then it is for the following reasons: 1. The recorded sound, although adequate, is not at all top-notch. A fellow Amazonite has described the early Naxos sound as "cavernous". I'm not sure that's the word I would choose, but at all events you have to imagine the microphones as being placed quite well away from the orchestra so as to capture the entirety of the sound better than the detail. Naxos does not manipulate its sound, which is positive, but the dynamic differences between the very loud passages and the quieter ones often mean that as a listener one feels that the more piano passages are not loud enough; if you turn the volume up, you get your ears blasted when the whole orchestra comes into play. 2. Connected with this is my feeling that the percussion could, in some instances, have been amplified: crashing cymbals should crash, but these sound almost as though they are behind the stage and not on it. 3. The documentation is, again, adequate, but I found the description of the plot of Coppélia confusing. Some more information about the music itself would also have been welcome but was not forthcoming.

Note added on 20 October 2005: It is perhaps a measure of the success of the Naxos disc that it motivated me to purchase the entire Coppélia ballet on DVD (in the historically accurate and wonderfully-produced performance of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, on BBC Opus Arte). What a superb piece of entertainment this is!

5 out of 5 stars Le roi s'amuse: reason enough to own this CD.......2002-04-10

The music from "Le Roi S'Amuse" is reason enough to own this CD. While they imitate older musical forms (much like Respighi's "Ancient Airs and Dances"), these seven tracks also exhibit the virtues of Delibes' more familiar ballet music: tuneful, elegant, and eminently danceable.
The music from La Source is such a tiny sample, it's almost a tease. But the Coppelia tracks capture the highlights of that ballet. While I prefer recordings of the complete ballet, there's no denying that Ondrej Lenard coaxes very spirited renditions from his orchestra. The "Music of the Automata and Waltz" has a music-box quality that is very charming, and the Czardas is strong and resonant without being exaggerated.
To those interested in ballet and unfamiliar with Delibes - whose work set a new standard in ballet and inspired Tchaikovsky - this CD is a wonderful introduction. But even if you already have Coppelia in your collection, this CD is worthwhile because of "Le Roi S'Amuse."

    I cannot heap enough praise on THOUGH LOVE BE A DAY. Soprano Diana Guhin Wooley and pianist Richard Steinbach, calling themselves the American Celebration Duo, perform ten songs and song sets by as many composers. The music on this disc has been culled from over 100 songs submitted to the duo in response to a call for scores. All of the songs are very good; several are outstanding. The great work in this collection is Antonio Carlos Defeo's "Sonnet 23"--poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. I spent the better portion of one recent morning listening to it repeatedly and weeping like a baby through much of it. Of course, Browning's text is magical, and Defeo's exquisite lyrical gift and a wonderful harmonic and rhythmic sense heighten the poem magnificently. This beautiful song rates among the best new ones I've heard in years. Several other songs merit special recognition also. Gwyneth Walker's fine setting of EE Cumming's quirky texts are captivating and enjoyable, and John Luebke's lithe "Barn Swallow Suite" should become a classic. The performances are heartfelt and the sound quality is excellent. I rarely recommend song recordings to all, but I love this disc and believe that every music lover will want to own it.

    5 out of 5 stars Lovely Late 20th-century Songs.......2000-05-26

    The American Celebration Duo has given us a window into the world of the composer of our day. Nothing scary here -- no serialism, atonality, or academicism. Just ravishing melody. From Gywnneth Walker's set "though love be a day" to Howard Helvey's remarkable setting of Christina Rosetti's "Another Spring," there isn't a clunker in the lot. And, the performances are fabulous; Diana Wooley's warm voice beautifully complements Richard Steinbach's exquisite pianism. Highly recommended for anybody, especially those who fear the music written in the past century.

      5 out of 5 stars Piano music big and small.......2005-08-23

      A curious mixture, this disc. Half this collection is what, in the Nineteenth Century, would probably have been called Album Pieces, dating from Birtwistle's teenage years (Ookooing Bird) almost up to the present. These are slight pieces, all interesting, all reflecting the composer's uncompromising style, but not enough to delay the listener much longer than the time it takes to play them. And then there are two major works - Harrison's Clocks and The Axe Manual.

      Both these pieces' titles are typical Birtwistle puns. The first refers to the famous horologist who created timepieces that allowed mariners to accurately fix their longitude as much as to its composer's christian name. It is a series of explorations of the kind of musical clockwork mechanisms that Birtwistle often uses to drive his material (cf. Silbury Air, Carmen Arcadiae, Pulse Sampler, large sections of Yan Tan Tethera etc.). Fiendishly difficult to play, one suspects, with their complex overlayering of rhythms, but hugely satisfying to listen to.

      The Axe Manual was originally written for Emanuel Ax (hence the pun) and Evelyn Glennie. It is a thrilling piece in which the percussionist gradually works their way round a semi circle of instruments from drums through marimba to wood blocks, etc. and back again, conjuring a huge array of colours and textures as well as rhythms.

      All the performances on this disc are impeccable. Nicolas Hodges is a pianist who specialises in modern music and has had many works written specifically for him. He has that rare ability with new and unfamiliar pieces not only to get his fingers round the notes (tough enough in many of these works), but also to communicate with true musicality. He makes Harrison's Clocks even more approachable and exciting than Joanne McGregor did on her pioneering recording. For the Axe Manual he is joined by the Australian percussionist, Claire Edwardes, and the two of them provide a performance every bit as mesmeric and thrilling as in their live UK premiere performance. A highly recommendable disc.
