Just wonderful music.......2000-04-26

Addinsell was unknown to me until I heard the Warsaw Concerto on the radio. I was hooked. There are hints of Rachmaninov in the Concerto, and the lyricism is quite moving. I bought the cd for the Concerto, but I was absolutely stunned by the beauty of the rest of the music on this disc. All of it is melodic, sometimes wistful, sometimes melancholy, sometimes joyful. "Blithe Spirit" is wonderful, as is "The day will dawn" and "The Passionate Friends". The Royal Ballet Sinfonia play as if they truly love this music, and they are captured well by the ASV engineers. It is a delight from beginning to end.

British movie music at its best.......1999-04-17

I have been listening to classical and movie music for more years than I'll ever admit to, and I must say that Addinesll's music on this particular CD is all the usual adjectives and more...romantic, moving, at times even spiritual. It will probably appeal most to Anglophiles who also happen to love wonderful music. Grab a top notch gin, an easy chair, dream and enjoy.

Album Description

Shaker music is a unique body of American sacred folk music, created by eighteen American Shaker communities over a period of one hundred and forty years (1780-1920). This rich tradition of song continues to serve the Shaker community in the twenty-first century because it embodies their history, records the testimony of Shakers "who have gone before," articulates the religious principles on which Shakerism is founded, and reflects the faith of the contemporary community. Shaker music was created and nurtured in communities that prized isolation from worldly ways. Shaker melodies, although related to the larger tradition of Anglo-American folk songs, are not bound by their form, tonality, melodic or rhythmic structure.

The Enfield Shaker singers are a vocal ensemble of adults and children devoted to the study and performance of Shaker music. The group is open to all without audition, and is made up of both trained musicians and amateur singers. We draw heavily on the repertoire received or composed in the two societies that were the New Hampshire Bishopric—Canterbury and Enfield. Since the New Hampshire societies enriched their repertoire with songs from all the other Shaker communities, they also sing songs of the New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Ohio and Kentucky Shakers.

The Enfield Shaker Singers are drawn to Shaker spirituals that illuminate Shaker communal values and broaden our definitions of the sacred. The songs included on this recording illustrate some of the many ways music served Shaker communities. Most Shaker song texts are theologically direct, emotionally honest, and expressive of our shared humanity.

On this recording we offer thirty-nine songs we have come to love. Some have special meaning for individuals. We associate others with a particular singer in the group, or an occasion when it was sung. Each song offers us slightly different insights into Shaker aspiration, and Shaker faith. We hope that, through this recording, others will also come to love and sing them too. —Mary Ann Haagen, from the liner notes

Customer Reviews:

Religious music from the 19th century.......2007-07-07

If one likes the songs of the Shakers written in the late 18th and early 19 century that were without musical instruments, then you may like this CD. I found 8 songs out of the 30 or more on the CD that I liked, the others I did not care for much. This is no fault of the creators of the Cd, it is simply the style of the Shakers of the past.

A wonderful listening treat.......2005-01-11

This CD is a delight! The simple melodies, surprising harmonies, and clarity of the voices makes you want to sing along. Listening makes one smile, regardless of one's religious persuasion. Thank you for giving us these songs and preserving the tradition of this music.

Unsurpassed Chinese Traditional Music.......2006-05-30

The term "New Age" doesn't fit this CD. Anyone who knows GOOD Chinese classical music will tell you that A) it is extremely hard to come by, and B) that a better album than this one has not passed by in quite a while. To call it a "Chinese drum" album seems wrecklessly misleading, as it incorporates a full orchestra in peak performance form.

Composer, Zhang Fu-Quan, the featured percussion performer (Zhu Xiao-Lin) and the backing China Central Ensemble of National Music are in full form for this series of milestone recordings. A sampler of the best of the various Chinese music genres in many ways, THIS is good stuff, sinophile brethren (and sisters). No cheesy synthesizers or electric guitars here, just elemental instrumentation played with masterful virtuosity and heart.

Until I can personally prove otherwise, I am calling this 2-CD album unsurpassed in terms of quality and as an introduction to the BEST of Chinese traditional music.

THE BEST FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS.......2003-11-18

This CD is absolutely wonderful. We were introduced to Anna Moo through a friend and are so happy that we are telling all our friends about her. The songs are not only wonderful for children but this is the only children's CD we have that I love as much as my 3 year old daughter (I even play it when my little one is not in the car!) Anna Moo is a very talented singer and songwriter.

Best selection of classroom songs.......2002-08-18

As a first grade teacher with the Elk Grove Unified School District, I can't imagine beginning the school year without my Anna Moo C/D's, especially Anna Moo Cracker's, this year's class favorite. Moo's descriptive lyrics and catchy tunes are irresistible, and the children will be humming along and laughing as they work. This is a delightful C/D to put on as children write, have art projects, or free independent time during the day. You will find yourself singing along too, with songs that teach and enrich your student's lives.

This CD is a must have!.......2001-07-08

The songs on this CD are a fabulous! I'm a nanny and when I take the kids in the car the first thing they want is to hear Alligator Stomp and Everybody Counts. The lyrics are lots of fun and best of all your kids learn songs in foreign languages. If you have kids or work with them I recommend getting Anna Moo it will keep them smiling and happy on a car trip or around the house.

Get it!.......1999-05-06

If you want to keep the family bopping, get this album! Anna Moo is an incredibly talented song-writer/performer of catchy, educational, funny, and very entertaining songs. We've got three of her albums--"Making Moosic" (our first album--got us hooked), "Anna Moo's Animal Crackers", and her new one "Holy Cow!" All of them rate 5-stars with our family. You've really got to hear her stuff--you'll be hooked, too.

This CD is the best!! Parent of a toddler........1999-04-12

I bought this CD for my one year old. We love singing the songs together. The music is such a wonderful break from the traditional songs. We love the counting song (learn to count to 1-2-3 in several languages - educational and a fun song). The alligator song is a real foot stomper. I recommend this!

Outstanding and varied period Haydn.......2004-04-24

Here is one of the most unusual and outstanding Haydn disks extant. The Four Nations Ensemble has put together a pair of piano trios -- played on a period piano -- with two Italian duets, the famous Andante with Variation in F Minor for keyboard, "The Spirit's Song" from Haydn's lieder, and an unusual and rarely recorded duet, "The Battle of the Nile", which the Penguin Guide says has been recorded one other time.

Certainly the greatest interest must be in this piece of music, a counterpart to Haydn's famous "Nelson" mass, written to commemorate Admiral Nelson's victory over Napoleon at the Nile. In this concert aria accompanied by fortepiano, soprano Ann Monoyios tells the story again. "The Nile with wrecks o'erspread," she says, "the curling smoke, the captive banners seat the doom of haughty France and break her galling yoke. (A bit of Haydn's irrelverent national humor in that last line, perhaps?) "Eternal praise, great Nelson to they name and these immortal partners of they fame!"

I love Haydn vocal music and must say this CD presents gifts I never knew of before. "The Spirit's Song", performed by Brown, is so lovely it makes me wish he'd record the entire set of Original Canzonettas with fortepianist Andrew Appel as accompanist. The keyboard trios are not my thing, to be honest, although I enjoyed the tinkly performances. The Italian duets are nice but insubstantial. On the other hand, Appel's performance of the Andante with Variations is good enough to compete with Brendel, Peraiha, Richter and the rest of the world's greatest Haydn players.

This is an unusual and unusually exemplary CD that has been around since 2001. Considering the state of the classical CD business, if you like this kind of thing you may want to act soon. This is the kind of CD that, once disappeared, never reappears. And it is too full of beauty and interest to never have been heard.

Haydn Hitting on All Six.......2001-11-21

This wonderful speculative Haydn soiree features vocal, chamber, and solo instrumental works written when the composer was at the very height of his powers. Like Dvorak a century later, Haydn could seem to do no wrong in the '90s, and the music he produced, even those pieces at the edge of or outside the repertoire, are done with the consummate skill of a master entertainer.

The least of the works on this ASV disk is "The Battle of the Nile," an occasional recitative and aria based on a poem written by Lord Nelson's lover to commemorate his triumph over the French fleet on the Nile, which doomed Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. Despite the negligible quality of the verse, the piece shows Haydn's superb skill as a tone painter. And it features Haydn's characteristic dry humor in the somewhat overboard drama the composer imparts and that the performers capture well.

The two trios, which the very good notes to the recording explain are actually augmented keyboard sonatas, are nicely contrasted, one in the minor key and the other in the major. The A minor trio is music in Haydn's Emfindsamkeit style--brooding, yearning, emotionally charged. The A major trio, on the other hand, is all smiles and energy. Both trios have marvelously impetuous finales that make for great listener satisfaction.

Then there are the "Two Italian Duets" and "The Spirit's Song." The former is a lovely pair of love songs that, if they happened to bear the sainted name of Mozart, would be at the center of the duet repertoire. The later shows Haydn in a Gothic mood, capturing the spookiness of England's latest literary crazy, thanks to Horace Walpole et al. Again, this is fun.

Finally, the keyboard "Andante with Variations," an acknowledged masterwork though not heard much today. The mood is that of the A minor trio: very stern and serious stuff for Haydn, very commanding as well.

The performances on period instruments were obviously very carefully considered so that balances would be just right. The result, in the trios at least, is of hearing this music for the first time. Although I love the classic Beaux Arts treatment of the trios on Philips, the ASV recording shows how this music should sound, the fortepiano clearly a much more equal partner as should be the case. The vocal soloists blend very well and deliver their solo numbers with aplumb. And fortepianist Andrew Appel brings great feeling to the serious keyboard music, great dash to the bracing fast music. If you love Haydn, get this disc. If you don't, here's a great way to start.
