Champagne Music!.......2006-07-09

Thank goodness that these well filled CDs of selections from three of Offenbach's most entertaining and tuneful operettas are available. Exactly the thing to provide some hearty nourishment for Winter nights. Ideal also for a Summer barbecue. In both cases, a glass of champagne, or at least some other bubbly beverage, would be good to have at hand - everything here no doubt will call for a toast or several.

It is so nice to be able to hear in these translations the witty words, sung with welcome clarity and meaning by these admirable artists. As I recall, there were no microphones in sight, and perhaps not even used, when this production of Orpheus In The Underworld was brought to Australia, with a few cast changes but the same sparkle as shown here. Crisp diction and lively, often lovely, singing - a great recipe for enjoyable listening indeed.

The recording sounds a bit shrill here and there, but what a churlish quibble; to Hades with such curmudgeonly qualifications! This is music to raise the spirits, and not just those from Hades.

High Expectations Not Met.......2002-02-07

I was totally disappointed with this recording. While the musical group may be excellent, the recording is not. The music is muddy and suffers from being live recordings. Also, I was looking for pure instrumental and there are vocals on this CD. If you really want a good fiddle orchestra CD, try Bill Garden's "Highland Fiddle Orchestra" (a superb recording).

the best folkmusic around.......2001-01-04

Not only is the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra a music group that prompts instant, frivolous entertaiment, but the enjoyment stays with you for hours. The 3 Cities CD is especially superior in gaity because it has the top hits everyone enjoys. It is a MUST for anyone's MUSIC LIBRARY.

Album Description

An Unbalanced And Quite Dangerous Airport And An Abandoned Church. "This second complete CD followed his Rays of Beauty and will build a subtle trilogy work for Sub Rosa. By visiting Lagos in 1983, Tokyo in 1999, 2000 and 2001, Bangkok several times between 1986 and 2002 and Mexico City in 2002 and 2003, CM von Hausswolff came, as thousands of other people, to the conclusion that something is running amok. An uncontrollable avalanche consisting of the construction of houses, streets and in-between spaces develops in large cities as independent do-it-yourselves-organisms. They're places we like because of their 'anything can happen'- status. They're places we hate, because they remind us of what lousy creatures we actually are. How long will they last? Maybe as long as the feedback sustains? A conclusive statement rolled over the above-mentioned composer when he stumbled over an abandoned church in Chicago. This sad place, once illuminated by Marin Luther King, is now in the hands of soaptalkshowcommander Oprah Winfrey's chef Art Smith ... Maybe it's a sign of something good. At least we know the quality of his desserts ... This new release, following his A Lecture On Disturbances In Architecture (Firework Edition Records, Stockholm, 2002), deals with these matters in a formal way. The rest is up to you ...."
