An Excellent Sampler, and the Best Place to Start.......2006-01-24
Michael Nyman RULES !.......2004-07-22
Nyman is a excelent composer, his music is fast-paced, joyful and delicious.
I recomend this CD for anyone who is looking for a great minimalist composer.
Sensations mosaic.......2004-03-31
The rest of the compilation also honors the meaning of intensity. No one song in this disc will let your attention go away from the sensations mosaic this record constructs. Highly recommended.
Good start to meet Nyman.......2004-03-05
Ten years later, Nyman is recognised as one of the biggest composers of late XXth century. In part with the astonishing soundtrack of "The Piano". But I think this "Essential" album has more to offer to you.
Of course, my favourite is "Memorial". It is the most tragic music I have ever listened. It's a perfect track to describe what a word like "death" can mean. "Miserere Paraphrase" is the definition of another simple word: "pain".
Some other tracks are the purity of minimalism: "Knowing the Ropes", "Chasing Sheep is best left to Shepherds", "Wheelbarrow Walk" and "The Garden is Becoming a Robe Room" are of my favourites.
Why am I not giving it five stars? The reason: "Prospero's Books: Miranda". It is a bad way to end this album. Almost the whole album is devoted to Greenaway films: "The Draughtsman Contract", "The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover", "A Zed and Two Noughts" and "Drowning by Numbers" and the referred "Prospero's Books". The only track not belonging to a film is Stroking-Synchronising, from "Water Dances" album. This is a tremendous composition and should be the great finale for this album. "Miranda" is a dull and not creative composition, which Nyman doesn't have to be proud of it: it is too complex, too changing and breaks with the minimalist spirit. I also think the soprano and the mezzo don't play a "serious" part.
But of course, it has an honour place in my discography.

Lotte Lehmann in her Prime.......2006-07-08
During the years of her prime Lehmann created a couple of Strauss's operatic heroines, including the Dyer's Wife in "Die Frau Ohne Schatten" and Christine in "Intermezzo." She also sang a great variety of roles ranging from Wagner's romantic heroines to the Italian verisimo parts by Giordano and Puccini. Puccini was said to have been one of her bigget admirers, especially for her renditions of Mimi in La boheme and Suor Angelica. However, her most famous roles were the Marshallin in Strauss's "Der Rosenkavalier" and Sieglinde in Wagner's "Die Walkure." This Preiser issue documents accoustic recordings of nearly all her more renowned roles, made between 1914 and 1925.
Although Lehmann later made more amenable electrical recordings of many of the arias here, as well as excerpts from "Der Rosenkavalier" and Acts One and Two of "Die Walkure," these accoustic recordings more often than not show her in fresher voice with a joyous freedom on top. Her hallmarks as a singing-actress, such as her always vivid enunciation of the text and her great variety of tonal colors and moods, are also evident even in the earliest of these recordings.
This set is one of the gems in Preiser's famous historic singers series and anyone interested in operatic singing should consider investing in this set. The CD transfer unavoidably contains some surface noise but the vibrancy and color of Lehmann's voice are faithfully recaptured.

Customer Reviews:
Buy this one for "A Water Bird Talk".......2001-10-13
"A Water Bird Talk" is by far the more interesting opera -- and a creative tour de force. Loosely based on a sketch by Anton Chekhov and adapted from Audubon's nature writing, this 40-minute chamber work introduces us to a hapless lecturer, bullied by his domineering wife into speaking about domestic waterfowl. Naturally, the lecturer tells us more about himself than about water birds. Argento's score weaves recordings of actual bird calls into the orchestral texture, to breathtaking effect.
"Miss Havisham's Wedding Night" is inspired by a fairly minor character in Charles Dickens's _Great Expectations_. This opera is written for a single soprano, who performs with as much technical bravura as you'd expect a soprano in her position to do. But there's a major problem: Emotionally, the opera hits only one note. This problem was probably unavoidable, given that, in the source material, Miss Havisham is perfectly obsessed. Dickens only devotes a few pages to her character; Argento gives us almost half an hour. Perhaps Dickens was aware that the more we know about Miss Havisham, the less interesting she becomes.
Both operas are well-performed. The Sinfonia of St. Cecilia, led by Sara Watkins, is consistently clean and precise. John Shirley-Quirk delivers a calm, nuanced performance in _A Water Bird Talk_; soprano Linda Mabbs, as Miss Havisham, is somewhat more overwrought but definitely worth a listen.
