About the Artist
Since moving to New York City in 1983, Brandon Ross has been active in a variety of musical genres. As a guitarist, he has been a key member of ensembles led by visionary jazz composer/improvisors including Henry Threadgill, Leroy Jenkins, Oliver Lake and Butch Morris. During the 1980's, Ross led his own ensembles, blending the sophistication and rigor of a jazz improvisor's training with the dynamism and impact of rock in various groups, performing at places like P.S.122, the Kitchen, the Knitting Factory and CBGB. In the 1990's Ross was commissioned by the ASCAP Foundation to compose a piece in memory of John Cage for the Bang on A Can All-Stars, which was premiered at the Kitchen in May 1993. Later that year, Ross became musical director and principal arranger for jazz vocalist Cassandra Wilson, recording "Blue Light Til Dawn" for Blue Note Records. That Grammy-nominated album featured his innovative arrangements of songs by Robert Johnson and Van Morrison,! while Ms. Wilson's Grammy-winning follow-up album "New Moon Daughter" from 1996 further expanded on Ross' recontextualizing arrangements on songs by Son House, U2, and Neil Young. Since then Ross has expanded his performances and recordings to include work with the hiphop group Arrested Development, the debut recording of painter Julian Schnabel ("Every Silver Lining Has A Cloud"), television appearances with folk-pop princess Jewel, classical violin virtuoso Leila Josefowicz, conceptualist-guitarist-chanteur Arto Lindsay, trumpeter Ron Miles, and funk/R&B innovator Me'Shell NdegeOcello. Ross is currently continuing development of his co-led electric trio Harriet Tubman with bassist Melvin Gibbs and drummer JT Lewis, exploring his compositional and improvisational concept of a future folk music.'
Product Description

Focus on the Recordings.......2007-07-23
I've made this small review of the Vivaldi Masterworks set because it is SO difficult to find a review of such a big collection.
The price is killer and you HAVE to buy it, but be warned: these are not the best recordings, you get what you pay for.
First of all, I'm not a Vivaldi expert, but I've heard his compositions throughout my life in so many different places and recordings and have a vague idea of how some have to be played. Secondly, I'm not a classical music connoisseur, but I love it and have over 300 discs of various composers and styles. Third, I know what a good audio recording should sound like and this will influence my critique of some discs in the collection. Finally, it's easy to get lost among all the tracks contained, so in some cases I will give you my favorite tracks in a disc.
I'm sorry, but I've only reached disc 20 of the box-set, as I listen to more this review will be expanded.
DISC 1:
Why would you use an AAD recording as a first impression for a 40 disc box-set and for the "Four Seasons", which is probably Vivaldi's best know work. The concertos are played enthusiastically, but lack any additional virtuosity to put it ahead of other much better recordings out there.
DISC 2:
Same as DISC 1, played and recorded by the same people.
DISC 3:
The pieces in this disc are VERY well played, nonetheless, you can hear heavy breathing from the soloist which can be a bit annoying.
DISC 4:
Very well performed as well, heavy breathing is less present.
DISC 5:
A very good recording, excellent execution by the hapsichord and good by the recorder.
Tracks 4, 6, 7 and the whole "La Notte" are extraordinary.
DISC 6:
Exquisitely recorded and performed by the Budapest Strings.
DISC 7:
Marvelous performance on the whole disc.
Tracks 22 & 24 are non-plus-ultra.
DISC 8:
Great performance too.
Suggested tracks: 7, 12, 15, 24
DISC 9:
To have an original baroque organ playing is a plus.
Solo strings are lacking in quality (for example: tracks 6 & 7).
Suggested tracks: 1, 4, 8, 15
DISC 10:
Despite being and ADD recording, the quality is fairly good. The cello is very well played.
Suggested tracks: 3, 4, 12
Excellent track: 13
DISC 11:
Same musical group and soloist as DISC 10. The contrabass is extremely distorted sometimes, and if you take into consideration that this is an ADD recording, it can get pretty bad. Some background noise is perceived.
Suggested tracks: 3, 6, 9
DISC 12:
The compositions are somewhat boring, either way the performance is plain decent.
Suggested tracks: 10, 12
DISC 13:
Good performance and sound quality.
Suggested tracks: 1, 4, 6, 7
Excellent track: 12
DISC 14:
Good performance and sound quality too.
Suggested tracks: 10, 14, 16
Excellent track: 5
DISC 15:
Badly mixed, the basoon is blocking the whole ensamble by being in the foreground.
The playing precision is lacking.
An AWEFUL thing about this recording is that you can hear the basson key-sticking with the instrument and the saliva. It's horrible.
Such a pity, the sound of the basson with other instruments can be pretty interesting.
DISC 16:
Violins sound a bit off tempo.
Suggested tracks: 4, 8
DISC 17:
Good sound quality and performance.
Suggested tracks: 1, 7, 9
DISC 18:
Despite being an old recording, it is a very welcome one.
The performance is very well above par. Tempo is fantastic.
The quality of the recording could have been better due to some string plucking that is heard and which can become bothersome.
These are some of Vivaldi's best know tunes.
Suggested tracks: 4, 6, 13
Excellent tracks: 1, 3
DISC 19:
Lively recording.
Track 6 is the same piece found in another disc in the collection, but with a better performance.
DISC 20:
By now you've heard all of this pieces before in the other discs. Nothing new here, nor better.
This is a fantastic deal!.......2007-02-25
If you are a fan at all of the Four Seasons you should love this music. I will admit right now that I am a classical music fan. I don't write or perform it. I am a novice listener. I have never taken any music lessons(though I am leaning in that direction) and certainly have not gone through any university music training. I started out in rock and roll but found classical as I got older and fell in love with it a few years ago.
With that context in mind I do hope I am able to recognize quality and this work is of the highest. It helps when you are starting with good ingredients in the first place. You can't bake great bread without great ingredients and Vivaldi's music library has some of the greatest musical ingredients of the last 300 years. They are very much the foundation for modern western culture and music. His talent is woven through what we are
The first 26 CDs are instrumental starting with the four seasons and working through many of the Master's many popular works. I will admit the four seasons are not the best interpretation I have heard but it is definitely acceptable. The rest of the music shows us many facets of the Baroque style and you can see themes emerging through some of the pieces that give us a 'fingerprint' of Vivaldi's style and the parameters of the stylistic leanings of the genre at the time. If you want to immerse yourself in 18th century music this is your chance
This music would be ideal for someone who owns a store and is looking for background music. With over 26 CDs of instrumental music alone you could have those constantly looping and you'd probably never get bored of them(OK I may be stretching it a little there). The reason is that the music does not leave a bad 'aftertaste' in your mind. It fits into the background as easily and naturally as it is to listen to it consciously in the foreground. If you are a fan of classical Baroque you don't usually need to be in the mood for this, it will adjust your mood to itself and Vivaldi's music is almost always of an uplifting sort if this collection is any indication. If you want something to listen to at your job 8 hours per day this is good for the mind and it would take you over a week to get through it if you listened to it every minute of every work day. You will also work without the worry of the music distracting your concentration. I find it enhances it when I'm working. I don't know how well this would work on school kids but teachers might want to try playing this during school time. You may create a few geniuses, we certainly could use more!
If you are looking for something to ease your sleep and oil your dreams I have put these CD's on in the background. Not only can I easily fall asleep when they are playing quietly in the background but it helps you sleep and you wake up in a very pleasant atmosphere if the music is still playing quietly when you wake(you probably would need to rip them to your MP3 player to do that). It's like napping at a classical music concert without the worry of being nudged by your spouse or offending the other concert goers with your snoring. That will be quite a unique experience for you and possibly give you some real sweet dreams. It has for me
So to wrap it up this is very intelligent, uplifting music that is great for your mind and your soul. It is definitely worth the purchase if you are a fan of the Four Seasons and the Baroque genre in my novice classical music fan's opinion
Excellent, Broad Selection.......2007-01-25
This 40-cd collection affords me a rare pleasure almost daily: the thrill of hearing something new by Vivaldi. Despite my best efforts over the years, I've managed to miss hearing a lot of great works by the master. Listening to a single CD now and then, catching tunes on the radio... you can't possibly get a comprehensive understanding of Vivaldi's output that way.
But when you work your way systematically from CD 1 through 40, you're sure to find many pleasant surprises. I've been skipping through everything I already know -- in some cases, it has only taken me about a minute to get through a whole CD (first 3 seconds of each track is usually enough). But then I stop and listen carefully three or four times to anything that's new.
Ah, what a pleasure. I've already acquired some new favorites. And some old standbys have proved even more rewarding, e.g. at first I thought RV 127 (CD 7, tracks 10-12) was performed too slowly (Naxos No: 8.553742 is much faster), but now I'm not sure; maybe it's BETTER that way! I can't recommend this set highly enough.
$70....when was this???.......2006-11-25
Wish the cost was $70 now. Guess the record producer (or Amazon) got tired of making less than $2 per CD.
$70/40... you do the math........2006-04-07
No, I don't own this collection...yet. However, the price of the collection compels me to review it beforehand. Never have I seen such a complete collection of Vivaldi compositions at such an incredibly low price. At $1.75 dollars a CD, the record producer (Brilliant Classics) isn't making much of a profit. The compilation pulls some of its works from DG Achiv Produktion's vault (see Standage), such as the violin concertos, as well as from unknown producers (the Poland Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra is heavily featured). The collection is so complete that it is academic, and I would not be surprised if music libraries quickly emptied it from Amazon's shelves. The collection is simply worth it for the incredible price (English Concert's recording of the violin concertos cost nearly 30 bucks, and is exactly featured here). Overall, the price alone makes this collection exceptionally attractive, and the ensembles featured aren't bad either.

Disappointment.......2006-02-17
The CD never arrived. I am very sorry about that. Can you tell me something about it?
A must-have for Pavarotti fans.......1999-08-23
The recital was one of Pavarotti's greatest accomplishments. But as far as I know, this is his only recording with piano accompaniment: in 1987, at NY's Carnegie Hall. So it's a unique opportunity to hear the familiar voice in all its pure clarity, devoid of orchestral support, and to listen to Pavarotti singing baroque songs and arias, religious music, and lieder, as well as his trademark opera arias and neapolitan songs. And the tenor gives each piece its specific meaning and style: from the spiritual unction of 'Pietà, signore' to the joy of 'La Girometta'. Great piano accompaniment, specially in Listz's sonetti.

Pretty Recording of Italian Belcanto.......2005-10-19
Margiono's specific timbre is beautifully underscored by her four partners. The recording is a nice and unusual addition to
the current recordings of 'Arie Antiche' by Bartoli, Bayo, Vargas, Bruson and Bergonzi.
However, The Margiono Quintets Producers might consider a more original selection of Arie Antiche. Parisotti's collection
contains more than 84 items to choose from.
Only four of the 17 pieces on the CD are not in Schirmers selection of 24 Italian Arias - standard literature for any student of belcanto.
Ladies and Gentlemen - please surprise us ... !

Amazing.......2005-12-07
Being an aspiring tenor I have been researching various music and was looking for different renditions of Nina. After seeing the review "Drown Pavarotti" I ordered the CD. It is magic. I see so many Cd's that talk about the "Three Tenors". After hearing this CD there is only one tenor as far as I am concerned. I listened to Nina first, and it was stunning. I was amazed. It is now my mission to own any and everything this incredible artist has done. If you want to hear a great tenor look no further. This CD is my new favorite and I have a feeling it will be number one for a long time. I just received the CD today and I felt so strongly about this I couldn't wait to post a review.
A must -own.......2005-05-19
I don't think the critics and public knew quite what to make of Richard Tucker's "The Art of Bel Canto," which was released in the 1960s, when the dramatic tenor was in his 50s. Why did this legendary Rodolfo (Luisa Miller) and Canio stop to record "Sebben crudele" and "Danza, danza fanciulla"? The singing, however, is stunning in every way. How many dramatic tenors could sing this repertoire with such utterly flawless technique? The heart is there, too, and the orchestrations are ingenious and colorful.
Even today the record execs don't know what to make of this legendary foray into the arie antiche. What were they thinking when they released these 12 exquisite tracks on a repulsive-looking CD entitled "The Soul of Italy"? The stereotypical cover makes Tucker look like a Mafia goon named Guido the Wrench. And the program notes must certainly be one of the most mindless ever to be published on a commercial CD.
No matter, this CD is a must own for all voice teachers and for anyone who THINKS they understand "the technique."
A Great Italian tenor from NY.......2003-09-20
The fascinating biography of Richard Tucker has been well publicized. Somehow, his name keeps dropping out from the various "top ten" lists. Luckily, his vast recorded legacy combined with modern reengineering methods does not allow his name to fade into obscurity. The CD at hand combines two albums originally issues as LPs - "The Soul of Italy" and "The Art of Bel Canto". There are 12 songs from each album, allowing for generous helping of Neapolitan Songs from the former and 18th century Italian composers' songs from the latter. Most of the Neapolitan songs are well known to current public largely thanks to Luciano Pavarotti's two albums "O Sole Mio" and "Passione". While I respectfully disagree with a statement of my fellow reviewer that Pavarotti has "corrupted" the material, I must say that the execution of some of the songs on these albums appeared somewhat detached. Not the case with Tucker. He pours a lot of heart and soul into these songs, easily evoking images usually associated with them (Italian scenery, unrequited love, and big BIG passions). Had I not known that Tucker was born and raised in a Jewish household in Brooklyn NY, I would've surely thought, "this is an Italian singing". This only goes to say that true art knows no geographical boundaries. Tucker's Italian, in fact, is perfect, as several native speakers have told me, and he stresses all the right words. He isn't afraid to allow a bit of a sob or a sigh into his tone, and they do sound authentic, not overdone.
Turning to the Bel Canto part of the CD (tracks 13-24) one is in for a surprise - the singing here is entirely different. Here's why: most of these songs are vocal students' bread and butter, having been published in a well-known Schirmer compilation book "24 Italian Songs and Arias Of The 17th and 18th C." They require simple approach, but utmost care and control of the voice, especially a big voice such as Tucker's. I have no doubt that Tucker has studied these songs in his early years, and he consciously makes them as straightforward as possible, yet infuses each with subtle passion. It has now become somewhat of a trend to rediscover these songs once again. The latest offering is from a wonderful young tenor Ramon Vargas and it's a pleasure to hear that he, just like Tucker does not over-emote on any of these songs and just sings them through as they were meant to be sang. Tucker's tenor voice was exceptionally large. Therefore the singer had to exercise a great deal of control with this repertoire. The result -- quite possibly the best rendition of these songs on record. Regrettably, the well-known "Pieta Signore" is attributed to ... Rossini.
This CD is a must for any fan of good singing. The second half of it is also a good companion for the voice students. Along with "Richard Tucker sings Verdi" and "Welcoming the Sabbath", this disc is a testimony to the talent and personality of one of the greatest singers of the 20th century.
Drown Pavarotti.......2002-10-30
Now that Pavarotti has corrupted an entire generation of tenors with his arch and mannered style, it is good to hear a man who truly sings, a man who will tear your heart out.
It is a pity that Tucker's original disc, "The Art of Bel Canto", has been combined with "The Soul of Italy" and under that title. "Bel Canto" was by far the better album, and because of the title change it is harder to find.
This is an album to be treasured.
Tucker: an Italian tenor from Brooklyn........2002-04-17
Here you'll find Tucker at his best: Glorious voice, ringing, powerful and supple. Faultless singing technique, and an unerring sense of style in this popular, and not so popular, italian repertoire. He is fully idiomatic and musically deligthful. Really a great italian tenor that came from Brooklyn!
