Editorial Reviews
Peter Frankland, Channel 11 News
"...one of the most creative songwriters and storytellers in the Grand Valley"

Product Description
This is Susan Cypher, The Nightbird's first CD. Simply put it contains songs of moonlight and passion influenced by her history of storytelling. Her love of the dark and the silver light of the moon comes through her songs. Magic and moonbeams swirl through your senses caressing them with her silky but clear tones. The Celtic influence comes through in songs like "Demon Lover," which is based loosely on ancient myth but is truly about a living person who haunts your waking and dreaming. Also, as in her second CD, her songs (like "Magpies") tell tales to influence the way we treat others, to teach us kindness while letting us laugh at ourselves and the absurdity of life.

Susan plays all the instruments on this CD including: guitar, keyboard, and vocals. (Rick Cosby added part of the thunder sound on Imaging).

Songs of the Dark,Susan Cypher,Susan Cypher, The Nightbird,Described recently as Art-Folk, Wiccan-Folk, Celtic-Latin, gipsy-flavored music, as well as sensuous and alluring--these storysongs taste of magic, swirling wind, and passion. Another person described it as perhaps Enya meets Santana HA.

5 out of 5 stars Soviet Army Band & Chorus aren't taking any prisoners!.......2007-05-12

If you enjoy a good stiring martial male chorus then spend some time with these guys. They're all graduates of Soviet musical acadamies and any one of them could have graced the top opera houses of the world. You don't have to know any Russian to appreciate this CD. The songs are glorious (just don't translate them -- machine guns, death to foes, etc.), and will make you want to march on Berlin all over again.

5 out of 5 stars Good music........2007-03-09

I had heard a few songs by the Red Army Choir in the past and happened upon this CD set a while back, I found it to be far better than I had hoped and would reccoment it to anyone who enjoys Russian folk music, choir in general, and cultural items from when Russia was still the Soviet Union.

5 out of 5 stars Magnificent!.......2007-02-27


I'm so glad I stumbled onto this.

Spirited, committed, manly singing. Soul-shaking stuff! The ensemble is incisive; soloists are marvelous. The folk melodies are enchanting. The songs--and the singers--are bound up in the cultural fabric of the Cossacks, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky...on and on.., Chekhov, Trotsky, Nabakov... This music conveys the great romantic, dignified, boistrous soul of the Russian People. (Loosely speaking. Some members of the chorus were presumably of other nationalities once part of the Soviet Union. And some of the songs are not Russian).

I don't speak Russian, but listening to this makes me wish I did. What a beautiful-sounding language it is.

5 out of 5 stars I loved it!.......2007-02-22

Even though I cannot speak Russian, the quality of this choral group is beyond excellent. Many of these pieces are extremely moving and stirring. The rendering of the Soviet anthem and the song "Let's Go" (V'put) come to my mind. "Let's Go" became a huge hit in Russia when it was featured in a movie about the Great Patriotic War, and indeed, hearing it - you can well imagine ranks upon ranks of hard-eyed, grim-faced Soviet soldiers striding into battle against the Wehrmacht.

5 out of 5 stars The ultimate collection.......2004-06-15

Excellent performance by the choir and the orchestra. The grandeur, the charm, and the romance! Great collection of songs, sure to bring back memories!

After Tierney Sutton paid tribute to Bill Evans with Blue in Green, she salutes another of her influences with Dancing in the Dark, "inspired by the music of Frank Sinatra." The results are mellower than what Sutton fans might expect--it's less the hipster Sinatra than the one of such concept albums as In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning and Only the Lonely--and the tempos never rise above an easy swing. But it's a beautiful listen, and although there's an orchestra, it's not really a "with strings" album, which have been uneven throughout jazz history. Fewer than half the selections have strings, and those strings have been very subtly arranged (and conducted) by pianist Christian Jacobs. It's Sutton's usual trio--Jacobs, bassist Trey Henry, and drummer Ray Brinker--that is the primary accompaniment, and in Alec Wilder's "I'll Be Around" Jacobs shares a dazzlingly beautiful line with Sutton's wordless vocalise. And because "Fly Me to the Moon" has always been taken in either 3 or 4, Sutton acknowledges both by singing it in 7. Those are merely two memorable moments in an album that's full of them. --David Horiuchi

5 out of 5 stars jazzman.......2006-12-31

Initially took me several listens to warm up to this date,
but now, I love it. One has to be patient with it. I'm
now going to check out her Bill Evans cd. Her voice is
flawless. Give "Dancing" a chance and listen to it when
you're in a relaxed, mellow mood. I just recently have
gotten back to it after seeing it in the female singer
area of my collection; had only listened to it once before
and not given it a proper chance. It's a winner.

2 out of 5 stars Carrying a Concept Too Far.......2006-12-14

This CD is disappointingly one-dimensional. Every song is presented at about 1/2 (or less) the tempo at which these songs are normally sung. While it can be interesting to sing a song at an unexpected tempo on occasion, Ms. Sutton's decision to give nearly every song on this album exactly the same treatment results in mind-numbing monotony. As much as I love her beautiful voice, I find this CD almost impossible to listen to all the way through. I'm glad this was not the first Tierney Sutton CD I heard, or I would be convinced that she is incapable of any range or creativity.

5 out of 5 stars Her finest album as of yet..........2005-09-11

This is an exellent release, because Sinatra recorded so many great songs, Sutton had many to choose from. No, Sutton does not phrase like Ol' Blues Eyes, and that is why this cd is so great! Every jazz singer, or I should say any decent jazz singer today is on some level influenced by Sinatra, and it is great to hear Sutton's take on Sinatra's signature tunes, without turning into a lounge swinger herself. A great album, by a truly great jazz singer. This cd is very subtle and extremely romantic.

Other great Sinatra tribute cd's are by:
Keely Smith-Keely Swing Sinatra
&
Tony Bennett Sings The Saloon Songs of frank Sinatra

4 out of 5 stars Dancing in the Dark - Sutton.......2005-08-26

Excellent renditions of old, but certainly not tired, standards. Tierney Sutton, along with several others, have breathed new life into songs that have been around for a while and, in some instances, been beaten up by lesser performers.

2 out of 5 stars The CD is OK.......2005-07-04

All I can say about Ms. Tierny is that she has a nice, mellow voice, but songs that can be sung in 3 minutes take her 5 minutes. She drags out all of the songs on this CD. I was very disappointed that I paid money for music to sleep to!

    4 out of 5 stars Mill. Classical review.......2007-05-13

    This is a great set of recordings for the money, the only problem was I've had to clean some of the CD's before they played correctly.

    4 out of 5 stars classical music for the unitiated.......2007-04-01

    This set is a good way to start listening to classical music. It's very well produced and easy to listen to. I purchased it to use as part of my world history high school class. It would have been nice to have some bio information on the composers. However, the product is exactly as advertised and good value for the money. The students were intrigued by how many of the excerpts they had heard before.

    4 out of 5 stars Some little gems there that I had forgotten!.......2007-03-30

    Although I studied classical music at school, I had all but forgotten it until I bought this set. I heard several tracks I haven't heard for over 30 years, and I had been humming Brahms's 'Hungarian Dance no. 5' for years without ever knowing what it was and it was on the disc, so that was nice.

    I found it to be a very good selection overall, but I felt too much had already been heard on TV, which of course is what lots of newcomers to classical music might appreciate. I managed to find about 2 hours of tracks that I wanted to keep, which works out quite expensive per disc, but I did find some wonderful music I had completely forgotten about, so it was worth it. All in all, it represents good value, and I have only knocked one star off as so much of it had been used in adverts.

    It is definitely a good introduction to classical music, and it has made me want to listen to more of it, so I don't regret this 'expensive' purchase one bit!

    Classical Masterpieces of the Millennium [20 CD Set]

    5 out of 5 stars A very helpful collection.......2007-03-24

    I define this set as an excellent way to find out who you like, and who you don't, among 20 of the important composers. It opens the door to purchasing more complete pieces by composers you do like, and can save a lot of time and money in the process.
    To criticize the set for not containing more composers, or more than just snippets of those who are in the set, is missing the point: it is a helpful introduction to finding your way in the huge maze of classical music. It succeeds admirably in this.
    Sound quality is uniformly very good on an audiophile system.
    Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2007-03-08

    A great way to start a classical music collection. It's nice to have a full CD of each composer. It makes it easy to keep track of selections/composers I already have and what composers I still need to puchase to complete my collection.

    5 out of 5 stars Some old favourites, and some unfamiliar, enjoyable voices and songs.......2007-03-11

    This compilation has the usual songs that immediately bring the name of composer Victor Herbert to mind - Ah, sweet mystery of life, I'm falling in love with someone and Tramp, tramp, tramp - with such well known voices as those of Macdonald, Eddy and the famous tenors, Richard Crooks, Richard Tauber and Charles Kullmann.

    Perhaps of greater interest to many listeners will be the relatively seldom heard artists, such as John McHugh, Florence Easton and Florence George. All three have very pleasant voices and aural personalities.

    It is a somewhat mixed delight to hear Amelita Galli-Curci, John McCormack, Alma Gluck and Richard Werrenrath in recordings from the acoustic era. My personal favourite from that group is Galli-Cutci's charming version of A kiss in the dark.

    Altogether, a well chosen mixture of the familiar and the out of the way, carefully and well re-recorded.

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing.......2006-06-13

    I bought this on a whim from another website, and it has become one of my favorite cds, despite its frustratingly short play time. Mr. Murdoch's full length album is out now, and I will be buying it no questions asked, simply based on these four songs. This album has a very simple sound; it is clean and has just the right amount of polish. Orange sky is the highlight of the album, but I never find myself skipping the preceding songs to reach it.

    4 out of 5 stars Simply Wonderful.......2006-06-08

    I'm going to only give this EP 4 stars because there's only 4 songs on it, but what an incredible debut. I was in Tower Records yesterday and saw that he had just released his "debut album," my only two problems being "why did it take so long?" and "how come there are 11 songs on it, 3 of which are on his 4 song EP?" What makes this EP wonderful is the combination of beautiful melodies and wonderful lyrics. 'Orange Sky' is the song everyone either knows or has heard on the radion before, but the other three songs are just as strong. It's the kind of music you can listen to on its own, absorbing the lyrics and the music or the type of music you can read a book too. People have compared it to Nick Drake, which is a good comparison, but he may be closer to Badly Drawn Boy or a male version of Fisher. This guy is going to be huge if he puts out music on a more consistent basis. Buy this and enjoy.

    4 out of 5 stars I enjoyed it.......2006-04-27

    This album has only four songs, but I think it is rather well done. The songs are simple, but very well-composed and heartfelt.

    Orange Sky is by far the best song out of the four.

    5 out of 5 stars An Amazing Debut EP.......2005-08-06

    Alexi creates something special with his debut EP. He has a wonderful ability to create size with his music. If you are a fan of lyrically driven music that touches the soul you will love this EP.

    By the way BEN HARPER RULES!!!

    2 out of 5 stars One song wonder..........2005-05-30

    Orange Sky is a good song, but the rest of the album is forgettable. Other reviewers have commented about the similarity to Nick Drake -- not so, say I. Murdoch's lyrics lack the craft of Drake, and some of the lines where he has forced the lyric into a rhyme made me cringe. Very disappointing.

    Dimitri Hvorostovsky, born and bred in Siberia, has Russian folk music in his soul. So do about 100 million other Russians, of course, but they don't have his magnificent voice. When his artistry is joined with that of the Saint Petersburg Chamber Chorus, the result is hard to beat, especially when the arrangements were made by such composers as Shostakovich and Rimsky-Korsakov. Don't expect happy songs, although some of the offerings on this disc, such as the title song "Kalinka," have their rollicking passages. In characteristic fashion, the lyrics dwell plaintively on laments for lost love or melancholy recollections of the Russian countryside. Unusually for a Russian chorus, the Saint Petersburg ensemble is not dominated by the lower-pitched male voices but by the women, blissfully free from stridency, who swell their cadences in the way so typical of Russian liturgical music. The disc is accompanied by the Russian text and a useful English translation, although both suffer from minor errors. --Ed Killham

    5 out of 5 stars Delighful Hvorostovsy.......2007-03-31

    I heard the CD Kalinka. I've never stopped admiring this wonderful Russian bsritone. I went to his concerto here in Mexico, several months ago. I was in Heaven

    The songs are chosen with care and love, and it reminds me always of my so wonderful stay in Russia (3 years). This really is from "Russia with love". The thrilling voice of Hvorostovsky gives me the chills and makes me dream. Thanks for a wonderful and delightful record.

    This Cd is not the "academic" version of the Red Army, pleasant as well. This is fresh, bucolic and belongs to the people that are in the enourmous fields of corn in Russia and Ukraine. It is naive, with the beauty of naivite.

    Hvorostovky is versatile and in the songs que needs to be sweet, plassionate or melancholic he achieves it masterly!!!!!

    5 out of 5 stars The Power of Voice, The Music for the Soul .......2005-05-09

    Listening to these eighteen Russian folk songs, artistically arranged and vocalized, one feels that the musical border between folksong and opera has somehow been melted away, and what are heard are the best aspects of both. There is something very special in Russian folk music. Dmitri Hvorostovsky and St Petersburg Chamber Choir have grasped the spirit of it with their heartbreaking vocal force. Whether it is the melancholy melodies; the somber harmonies; or the primordial elements, they pierce directly through your heart and get to your soul... Simply wonderful!

    5 out of 5 stars a cup half full, but still splendid.......2004-05-22

    With his rich and powerful dark honey voice, Dmitri Hvorostovsky is one of the greatest operatic baritones alive, and as an interpreter of Russian music, no singer can top him; his exquisite renditions of folk melodies, as well as the rapturous songs of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff on his other recordings are sublime.
    Here he is backed not by an orchestra, but by St. Petersburg Chamber Choir, and together they present a superb collection of traditional melodies.

    Unfortunately for those of us who are big Dmitri fans, he only sings on 10 of the 18 tracks, and though the chorus is excellent, his magnificent voice would have made these songs even better; the "chorus only" tracks are 4-5, 8-10, 14, and 16-17.
    The popular title track, "Kalinka", has probably been included in practically every film with a Russian theme I have ever seen and is instantly recognizable, and some of the others are rare gems, but all of them will be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates Russian music.

    My absolute favorite is the final "Vihaztu adin ya na darogu" ("I set off alone down the road"), which with its beautiful melody and soulful singing is glorious. Dmitri recorded this song for his first CD of folk songs in 1991, with the Ossipov Russian Folk Orchestra, with balalaikas instead of a chorus to back him; both versions are wonderful, but with this one having the edge, as I think he sings it on this recording with more emotion.
    Total running time is 56'41.

    5 out of 5 stars Here is proof that Russian vintage only gets better with age.......1999-06-06

    Dmitri Hvorostovsky has outdone himself, which means his admirers are in for a treat. Maturity only adds depth to his interpretations of Russian folk songs, now on a larger scale than on the earlier CD 'Dark Eyes'. His musicianship is such that he blends in perfectly with the superb St. Petersburg Chamber Choir whenever this is called for. Marvelous stuff here - highly recommended.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent.......1999-05-14

    Worth congratulating Philips that here (as in several more recent releases) "Russian Text" really means that, in cyrillic not transliteration. Timing 56'40.

    2 out of 5 stars Music from Humphrey Bogar Movies.......2007-06-27

    I was disappointed. I thought I would be getting a CD of full length themes from his movies but the CD is exactly what it says. It is from the actual films, in sections and pieces. I can't say it was misrepresented so I guess I was at fault. But I am sorry I bought it.

    5 out of 5 stars Simply the original.......2007-06-19

    As the previous reviewer rightly pointed out, these are the original recordings from the era the films were made. And yes, the sound is completely different from what we are used to hear when we are turning the CD player on: it's mono, it's partially unsteady and some of the pieces suddenly fade. BUT, it's the REAL thing and it transports the charms and the charisma, inherent to the original ONLY.
    Those who prefer the flawless technical perfection of a re-recording better should save their money. But for those who love the movies and their genuine sound, should be perfectly pleased with this release.

    2 out of 5 stars not the stuff dreams are made of.......2007-01-03

    most of the tracks on this cd are available elsewhere, but what prompts me to give this a low review is the quality of the recording. some of them sound like they were taped off of a tv set showing a warbly print. you can do better elsewhere.

      Album Description

      Songs For A Widow -- the fifth full-length Unto Ashes album -- is an intense and magnificent album of apocalyptic folk, medieval doom, forest metal, heavenly voices, experimental gloomscapes, military funeral choirs, and synthetic darkwave. This New York-based trio is absolutely alone in what they do. Who else besides Unto Ashes could (or would) transform Covenant's synth-pop anthem "One World One Sky" into a mournful funeral dirge? Who else would take the same song, rebuild it, and (on the same album) re-invent it once again as a colossal medieval dance, dripping with sweat and illuminated by fire? In fact, the album presents many subtle "echoes" throughout; thus the listener is harkened back to another place which may have occurred only moments -- or ages -- before.
