a wasted opportunity.......2005-06-28

For all the talent here, it's just shocking they couldn't come up with at the very least an engaging cover version. This just goes on and on and on, and no, that's NOT a good thing. What is especially galling is that the original version of Break 4 Love by Raze is a hundred times better than this, despite having been recorded more than a decade earlier, and for probably a whole lot less money. A wasted opportunity.

Part 1 is all you need.......2002-05-08

Unless you're a completist you won't be missing out if you decide to pass on Part 2. Part 1 contains just about all you could want from this Collaboration, and at nearly 60 minutes and 8 tracks is better value for money. Some of the remixes on Part 2, particularly the Moog Club and Dub and Moriwaki's 2 Step, aren't much chop either; Part 1 includes the fabulous Tribal mix, the excellent Classic and USA Club mixes, and the superb Kit Kat Dub and Ralphie's Dub - and the radio mixes!!! Got the drift?

Great remix CD of new Pet Shop Boys song.......2002-01-23

This CD contains 6 excellent remixes of the new single from the Pet Shop Boys. The single was recorded with producer Peter Rauhofer and the Boys had minimal input into it. Despite this, the song is outstanding and will help hard-core PSB fans wait for their upcoming Spring CD (which will not include Break 4 Love). Put on this thumping CD and dance.

A great voice from the past silenced too soon.......2006-05-24

Here is a selection of popular lieder by Fritz Wunderlich, who died tragically at age 36, silencing one of the century's great voices. Surely no accounting of great artists who died before their maturity could be complete without Wunderlich's name.

Here he displays the wonderful timbre, range and sensitivity in his voice, which was conspicuously consistent across the range, regardless of the music he was interpreting or the venue in which he performed. The character of his voicing, enunciation and the structure of his tone and vibrato are virtually without fault throughout this recording, made in the studio with both accompanist and orchestra in 1963, three years before his untimely death.

I bought this to hear his interpretation of Beethoven's only song cycle, "To the Distant Beloved." The notes to this issue concentrate on the music-drama inherent in the songs. I wouldn't call this accounting of the Beethoven as dramatic as singers perform today. It is miles ahead of the inadequate concert performance recorded a year or two back by Goerne and Brendel but, in terms of drama, Wunderlich's work is neither as dramatic or episodic as recordings by Stephen Genz and Thomas Allen.

However, no singer quite has Wunderlich's instrument, a firm, supple and sensitive voice that adjusts to any music and any situation. It is also a bit unfair to compare the baritones above to Wunderlich's tenor.

I found equal pleasure in his renditions of Haydn's lesser known and lesser quality songs and the group of orchestral Strauss lied performed on this disk. Wunderlich performs the Strauss with far more drama and flair than the Beethoven, where he seems almost an introverted lost sould seeking lost love.

All told, this is a treasurable tome from one of the great singers in history in good mid-1960s sound that has dimension, quality and depth. The soloist may be a bit more forward than we epxect in the period-influenced new century but this is no matter. Here is an exhibition of singing that is above criticism and beyond approach. Even the greatest singers in history would weep gladly upon hearing this CD. So will you.

a missed opportunity.......2005-06-29

For all the talent present here the simple fact is that this cover version of the house classic Break 4 Love is just not that good. Considering especially the original was recorded almost 20 years ago by Raze and still has more life and more energy than this version, it is a hundred times better and probably cost one hundreth to make. Galling, really. Pet Shop Boys have a great history of cranking out a stomping cover every few years
( think "Always On My Mind", "Go West", "Somewhere" the list goes on....), but this is just lacking.

A match made in heaven.......2002-04-17

The Collaboration between Peter Rauhofer and PSB is inspired. Rauhofer manages to add considerable sparkle to what could have been an average PSB cover, and Neil Tennant's vocals are some of the best he's ever done (has he finally discovered he can use his chest and throat without those nasal overtones?) This cd release features nearly an hour of music - not all of it essential, of course, because some mixes work better than others; overall, though, this is very classy dance music, with Friburn & Urik's Tribal Mix, the USA Club Mix, and the Classic Club Mix being personal highlights.

Break 4 Inadequacy.......2002-04-10

In the wake of the Pet Shop Boys new album release "Release", which leaves much to be desired, I ordered this double CD single set, and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of music put forth here. Somewhere before Christmas I heard a sample of this song, and was not very amused. With the "Home and Dry" single release, though, this song took on a better format. Additionally, the Rauhofer work on this song gives the entire collaboration a much needed Pep, while maintaining the Pet Shop Boys quality that we are used to. These tracks, and there are a lot of them -- close to two hours of playtime -- are very playable and definitely deserve the attention that they've gotten in club play. Even though I dare not elevate this set to legendary status as say, Absolutely Fabulous or Somewhere, it is a definite buy for electronic music lovers and a must have for die-hard Pet Shop Boys fans.

This is the Break 4 Love Mix I have been waiting for........2002-02-07

Living in New York and hearing Peter Rauhofer play this song in his set I have been waiting for it to be released to buy for so long. I had searched in the stores and last year the song was only released on Vinyl.

Now with a CD release I can finally listen to this mix whenever I want to hear a great dance beat.

The best club mix of the CD has to be the "Friburn & Urik Tribal Mix". This is the mix that you hear when clubbing at The Roxy and other New York dance clubs. The other US Mixes were OK but not as thumping, they have been played out for a few months now. But, if you want to dance hard (or work out hard, whatever you use your dance music for), then go and pick up this CD. All of the mixes sound cool but #4 is the best, Fast Beat, then chorded pauses and always plenty of Bass, with the "Break 4 Love" spoken vocal moving all the bodies across the dancefloor.
A 5 Star Dance Mix.

Great new Pet Shop Boys song.......2002-01-23

Break 4 Love is essentially a new Pet Shop Boys club single as Neil Tennant sings lead vocals (it won't, however, appear on their upcoming Spring album). Neil's vocals are some of his best ever. Another singer (Thomas Frenes) does some spoken word vocals (he sings "Break 4 Love"). Hearing a Pet Shop Boys song with another vocalist on it is a bit jarring at first, but is kind of nice after one gets used to it. This CD has the basic US and UK radio mixes as well as several lengthier club-type remixes. The song was written by Vaughan Mason, who apparently recorded this song originally during the 1970s. Highly recommended for PSB fans and dance/disco lovers.

An excellent introduction to both the life and the work.......2001-08-10

Not having known very much at all about Chopin, I cannot vouch for the accuracy in the Naxos entry in their CD and cassette Biography series; but I can vouch for the enjoyment (NA 421912) afforded me.

Written and produced by Jeremy Siepmann, this audio-bio not only tells the strange story of Chopin's life but also includes generous examples of his music, drawn from the bottomless pit of Naxos musical CDs. An excellent idea was to use actors for the voices of Chopin (Anton Lesser), George Sand and other females in his life (Elaine Claxton and Karen Archer), and other male acquaintances (Neville Jason). It is the kind of reading that would fascinate even if the work were fictional.

His letters are particularly fascinating, especially as they are read dramatically by the small cast; and one would rather hear about all his faults--physical and psychological--from people who knew him well. Perhaps his strange epistolary relationship with his Titus is dwelt upon a bit too much, but such are the times (then and now).

Although Henry Purcell usually is cited as the greatest master of English text-setting, such judgments ignore the genius of John Dowland, whose music not only is totally accordant with its texts, but whose melodies are invariably memorable and eminently singable. This recording offers a variety of vocal works, most for mixed voices, accompanied by Anthony Rooley's well-tuned and tastefully realized lute figures. Of the program's 18 songs, 11 are by Dowland; the rest are by several contemporaries--Morley, Tomkins, and Weelkes--who both encouraged and were influenced by Dowland's unique musical persona, a remarkable combination of "distraught melancholy" and flawless melodic and harmonic instincts. Familiar and beloved tunes are here, including "Come again!" and "Sleep wayward thoughts." But just as compelling are Tomkins's "Weep no more, thou sorry boy" and Claudin de Sermisy's "Las, je m'y plains." The four voices--some of England's finest early-music singers--are so distinct that rather than a carefully blended ensemble, we hear each individual voice clearly defined. It's an interesting effect that works well and adds immeasurably to the color and mood of the music. --David Vernier

The evolution of a great singer........2002-12-03

In her lifetime of 96 years, American contralto Marian Anderson was celebrated perhaps more as a crusader for the victims of a colour prejudice in their home country than as a gifted and well-trained singer. The emphasis was probably misplaced. When interviewed in her old age she said, "I was never a fighter". She was certainly a superb singer, as this not-to-be-missed Naxos bargain allows C21st listeners to hear.

It comprises a varied selection of items from her repertoire recorded between 1924 and 1944. The two earliest items do not show her at her best. Slow moving Negro spirituals, they cruelly expose the presence of some ugly vowel and consonant sounds at this stage of her career. Thereafter, however, and into the electric recording era, diction and tone are exemplary. Only six of the items were recorded in the USA, mostly in poor sound quality. The 1944 item, an aria from Massenet's "Le Cid", provides a glimpse into Marian Anderson's potential as an opera singer, something she was unable to realize in the USA until the very end of her career.

Of course, the item that became this singer's "signature tune" is here. Pruned of some of its music, and of the tenor counterpoint provided in its second half by Samson, the extract from "Samson et Dalila" is sung in English as "Softly awakes my heart". Once heard, this performance will gently but firmly insinuate intself into your consciousness, your memory and your soul and live with you forever.
