This compillation is unique.......2007-06-27

I bought this compillation mainly for the Spanish cover of "There is a light" but when I heard the cd I was amazed,"Heaven knows" by "Sweet and Tender Hooligans" is the best cover for this song ever. Worth buying it, has no relation with the other junk compillation which have ruined the legacy of Smiths & Morrissey like the "World still won't listen". But still think that the best cover of "There is a light" is that of Divine Comedy... Finally the best ever compillation that I have for the Smiths is the Spanish:Una luz que nunca se apagará...Buy it don't hesitate.

English is an asset and a drawback.......2004-07-20

The best thing about this recording of Carmen is the libretto. Conductor David Parry penned this facile and dramatic English translation. He avoids the pitfalls of literal translation to achieve an idiomatic flow that matches the rhythm of the original lyrics. I use this as a reference libretto for any of the French Carmens.

Unfortunately, the performance suffers from being sung in English. The singers declaim their parts with such proper British diction that Carmen comes across as a school marm. The spoken dialog is delivered beat for deliberate beat and is dripping with reverb. It makes the plaza, tavern and mountain pass all sound like a sewer pipe.

This is a good first Carmen for someone trying to understand the work. The libretto itself is a good investment for further listening. For an enjoyable performance with an emphasis on character and action, I recommend Regina Resnik on the London Double Decker set.

You Will Love Opera After Hearing Carmen In English.......2004-02-09

What a perfect introduction to opera. This newly released recording will surely get you hooked into opera. Carmen, a French opera by Georges Bizet, is the most recognizable and most popular in the opera world. It's famous melodies- the overture, the Habanera, The Toreador Song have all been featured in everything from cellular phone ring tones to Superbowl Commercial (last year's Superbowl with The "Opera In English" label has been making Italian operas into English for a number of years now. Also on the market are Verdi's La Traviata in English (with soprano Valerie Masterson as Violetta) Handel's Julius Caesar with Janet Baker and even Wagner's epic Ring Of The Nibeling sung in English. This is a terrific recording and I highly recommend it if you want to get into opera. Listen to this version first and then try the real, original French version Bizet had written. Patricia Bardon is sensational, sexy and dramatic as Carmen.

The real strength of this version is the dynamic drama. With the advantage of being sung in English, we get better insight on characters' emotions and motives, and we understand the drama a lot better. Carmen is all about great drama. Bizet drew the plot from the French writer Prosper Merimee's dark short story. Carmen is the ultimate femme fatale- a devil-may-care, sexy Gypsy living in Spain, seduces the conservatively raised soldier Don Jose, stealing him away from his fiancee, the passive Micaela, living a life of underground smuggling and rowdy taverns. "Habanera" and "The Gypsy Song and Dance" are very expressive of Carmen's extraordinarily liberal lifestyle. Don Jose, however, has fallen deeply in love- as he shows us in his song/aria "The Flower Song". But Carmen soon becomes tired of his constancy. Don Jose wants a committed, monogamous relationship with Carmen. But Carmen will not submit to love, since she is first and foremost a carnal creature. Eventually, she falls for the handsome Toreador Escamillo. Don Jose, consumed by jealousy, stabs Carmen at a bullfight after Carmen declares her love for Escamillo and rejects Don Jose's love. Don Jose's crazed, obscessive personality shines through in the English version as well. This tragedy has been done in English before so don't think this is the first time. Back in the 50's, there was a film, starring black actors "Carmen Jones" which was treated the same way as this opera- more like an English Broadway musical and with the dubbed singing voice of Marilyn Horne as Carmen. All in all, this recording is excellent.

A wholly credible "Carmen" -- finally!.......2003-09-17

This recording really sells "Carmen" as a drama. Although I have two other recordings of this opera and have seen it performed several times, it never quite worked for me dramatically. But thanks to the fine performances, conducting, and translation here, I've become a "Carmen" convert. Producing a good English-language performance of a foreign opera, especially a warhorse like "Carmen," is much more difficult than it might appear. You need performers who not only can sing the parts (of course) but also can sing *English* and make it halfway intelligible and make it sound like English and make it dramatically convincing to English-speakers. The singers on this recording do an excellent job all around. Don't be put off if you don't recognize their names -- they are up to the task musically and (especially) in their acting. Admittedly, as with *all* English-language recordings, some passages are very hard to understand without reading along, but most of the time the words are clear and effective. I would recommend this recording to any opera beginner or opera lover, even those who normally turn up their noses at performances in translation.

I love Carmen!.......2003-08-15

I do. I can think of no other opera with more melodic inventiveness, and few others with so sure a dramatic pulse. Carmen is popular and it thrills me to say that it is also a very good opera - not always true of popular things.

And what of this recording? Carmen sits well in English, so it is good to hear in translation, although some of the detais in the text jar. Escamillo refers to Jose as "my dear", which sounds rather peculiar, and the guide's line to Micaela: "it's not exactly inviting, is it?" sounds distinctly Middle England rather than Rural Spain. Some of the performers, not least Carmen herself, make the words work, although there are long tracts, especially with the chorus, where the language is distinctly indistinct.

The soloists are, by and large, strong. Patricia Bardon's deep, Handel-friendly voice adapts well to Carmen and she colours the music with phenomenal detail, sounding sexy and provocative from the start with an edge of pride and anger that emerges as the show goes on. She is out of her depth above the stave, though, and some extra top notes in the second act don't show her off to her best advantage. I have previously said that Julian Gavin is poorly served by recordings, though here he sounds much more even and gives a thrilling and musical performance (but his wooden spoken lines let him down). Mary Plazas is a lovely Micaela, rich-voiced and sincere (and word-perfect), but Garry Magee sounds miscast as Escamillo, lacking the ballast at the bottom of the voice to do justice to this tricky role.

The supporting cast is good (Mary Hegarty seems to do nothing but Frasquita these days!) but the really treasurable thing is the conducting. Stepping out of Italian Ottocento, David Parry turns his hand to this French Comedie with an appropriate lightness of touch. His pacing and handling of the set pieces is exemplary and the enrtractes go with a real swing.

Soaring Vocals.......2005-08-05

Gary Burr is riding high with Carole King on "The Living Room Tour" during which he shares the stage and sings some of his tunes. I got this CD at Carole's recent appearance @ Raleigh's Alltell Pavilion. Burr was so impressive that I had to run out during intermission and add this to my souvenir bag. I'm glad I did. What a delightful set! "Silence Is King" became a favorite of mine as sung by Melanie on her "Freedom Knows My Name." I don't know the Tanya Tucker version, but Gary Burr does a lovely version on this hauntingly sad tune with his lovely voice gripping the pain of the lyric, "Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing." If "Silence is King" bemoans the thundering silence after a breakup, "I Still Hear Your Voice" bemoans being unable to get a long-gone girl out of his head, "Baby, as hard as I try, I still hear you saying goodbye." "One Night A Day" is a lovely melody that Garth Brooks recorded with its slow lonesome piano-based melody. If I remember correctly, Burr sang the ferocious toe tapper recorded by Patty Loveless "I Try to Think About Elvis" in the recent King concert. This live recording is hilarious where he stops in the middle of the song to ask for "more cow." "In A Week Or Two" recorded by Diamond Rio is a great pedal steel drenched weeper. Recorded by both George Jones & Patty Loveless, "A Thousand Times A Day" is a classic country heartbreak. "Rockin' the Rock" is a full-throttle rocker that allows your heart to break to a boogie beat. Burr sang the Juice Newton hit he penned, "Love's Been A Little Bit Hard on Me," in concert with Carole King bouncing up & down on guitar. Here, his live recording delivers the great catchy tune in fine form. The set opens with "What Mattered More" that Ty Herndon recorded with Burr's excellent soaring vocals on this delightful tune. Gary Burr has written some of country's best material. This disc is well worth seeking. Enjoy!

The Best Singer/Songwriter Ever.......2005-01-05

This CD is the one I'd take with me if I were stranded on a desert island and could only have one thing to listen to. The songs are great, Gary's voice is great and I never tire of listening to it and I've had it for years!

Pleasantly Surprised.......2004-06-02

Got this from a friend.Knew he wrote songs.
Strong album...Good material....GOOD BUY!

This man is a songwriting genius!.......2004-03-13

I've had this CD for maybe two years now (I only thought it could be gotten locally in Nashville, TN). Now that I see it available on line (although as an import) I can't tell you how excited I am!! This CD, and Gary Burr the songwriter, have been constant fixtures in my CD player for years!

If you are not familiar with Gary Burr, you've still probably - almost definitely - heard his songs before. He's written for countless country (and pop) artists and has penned quite a few hits. "I try to think about Elvis" for Reba, "Can't be Really Gone" for Tim McGraw, "To be Loved By You" for Winona Judd amongst countless others.

Well, these are the hit songs PERFORMED BY THE SONGWRITER and his live band in Nashville. Now, if you've lived in Nashville, you know that a good many of the songwriters can't sing a lick (which is why they are songwriters, not artists). Not so with Gary! He is a phenomenal performer both vocally and on guitar. My guess, is that the only reason he doesn't have a record deal as a performer is because he's too busy writing songs to want one. Meanwhile, this CD is all the rarer as it offers a glimpse of the man himself singing the songs he wrote but - untill now - someone else sung.

"At Last I'm Free From Cocteau Twins".......2003-10-23

I'll admit that I only purchased this compilation to hear the Elizabeth Fraser track "At Last I'm Free" and in all honesty, I was somewhat disappointed. Ms. Fraser may indeed be free from her Cocteau Twins vices but this latest attempt seems conventional and lack-lustre. Given the vocal heights that Ms. Fraser is capable of reaching, fans may find this track less than appealing. Her voice is crisp, and surprisingly her concise, clearly audible words pale in light of her past abilities. It's good to hear Ms. Fraser branching out on her own, even dabbling with the infamous Cocteau Twins mellotron, but if this is the best we can expect from one of the world's greatest sirens then I hang my head in sorrow. Elizabeth, come back to us!
