    4 out of 5 stars A perfect example of Carter's underrated early work........1999-01-01

    The pieces contained on this disc may well be among the most underrated in 20th Century American music. While the sound and performances on this disc leave a bit to be desired (when will Dawn Upshaw record the brilliant "Warble for Lilac Time" or "Voyage"?) this is still an entirely worthwile disc in that it contains nearly all of Carter's early vocal music. In addition, these are the arrangements for large ensembles. Recordings of some of these works arranged for soloist and piano are available, but the orchestral versions are more effective.

    It is hard to understand why these pieces continue to be so little-known. They are very accessible, easily describe as beautiful--words not often associated with Carter's post-1948 output. Carter's early style more closely approximates Barber, or the neo-romanticism of Stravinsky than the starkly dissonant, incredibly complex music most listeners think of now as typical Carter. The intricacy of Carter's writing is still what sets it apart, though. This collection's most straightforwardly lyrical selection, "Voyage", is far more tightly woven, and less obvious than, say, Barber's "Knoxville:Summer of 1915". "Three Poems of Robert Frost" makes fresh, daring use of the guitar with soprano and orchestra. "Musicians Wrestle Everywhere" and "To Music" are masterworks for unaccompanied mixed choir. All the pieces mentioned thus far deserve a place in the standard repertoire of ensembles capable of playing them.

    Whatever Carter's reasons for taking on the dramatic stylistic change that started with 1948's "Sonata for Cello and Piano" (which has produced plenty of great music), even Carter's own doubts about the worthiness of some of his early music will surely be overcome as audiences recognize the young genius captured in these stunning works.

    5 out of 5 stars Toned down, tuned up and toasted golden brown..........2004-07-09

    This latest effort of Christopher Shaw leaves me feeling the way I do after a really good barbeque - content, satisfied, and full, with certain spices lingering on my tongue. Some of those spices are subtle and lasting, like "Streets of Montreal" - a sad and melancholy song sung with just the right touch of winter grayness. Others, like "Shebeg Shemor" and "The Water is Wide" added a salt-and-pepper classiness to the mix, while "The Battle on Snowshoes" was like a dash of cayenne pepper to bring out the full heat and maturity of the music on this CD. Two songs left me wishing they'd been shorter, or even cut - "Easy Street", and "The Pole Trail", but Mr. Shaw has so vastly improved since albums such as 'Been to Town and Back Again' that they're not only forgivable, they may only be a matter of taste. Whether you're just beginning your collection, or are looking for a new treasured favorite, 'Serenade' is as perfect as they come.

                Product Description

                This release is the second in Cala's Stokowski series, following on from the highly successful Philadelphia Rarities (CACD0501), and it offers an unique opportunity to hear a number of unissued recordings made by Stokowski which have come to light in the archives. In addition, the maestro's voice can be heard on the first track, cajoling and enjoying a joke with the audience. The repertoire is fascinating in its variety and scope, ranging from a performance of La Marseillaise (complete with audience participation), to the Pastoral Symphony from Messiah in Stokowski's inimitable arrangement. However, the most important piece on the disc is undoubtedly the maestro's extraordinary performance of Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Overture, which underscores how effective an interpreter Stokowski could be.
