5 out of 5 stars Fade to Grey: The Best of Visage.......2005-08-05

Fade to Grey: The Best of Visage is a great compilation from the genius of Stave Strange and Visage. All their major hits are included on this collection. Tracks such as the informative yet amazing track tar, the dance friendly fade to grey, the brilliant track mind of a toy and many others. Steve Strange was such a brilliant and odd fellow that people sometimes get distracted by his strange attire and forget the amazing music that he wrote for this ground breaking band.

4 out of 5 stars Sure it's silly.......2005-06-02

Sure, the clothes, the makeup, and the posing were silly. And being tagged "New Romantics" by the tag-loving British press didn't give bands like Visage any credibility, despite the fact that they produced some mighty fine dance singles. I loathe the way the British music press loves to chew up and spit out artists at such a fast pace - what's hip today is passe tommorow. Pretty pathetic, really. The ONLY thing holding this great collection of singles back from a 5 star rating is the exclusion of the far superior 12" mix of the single Fade to Grey in favour of the 7" mix and a dreadful, unecessary new remix version of the same song. Had this cd been pressed as the original album was ( or even the great dance remix version of the album that was very briefly available on cassette, many years ago ) it would be perfect. As it is, it is only slightly flawed. As for the music itself, it is all heavily synthetic, very European sounding, influenced by the likes of Bowie and Kraftwerk. The presence of several members of Ultravox, as well as the underrated ( and sadly missed ) guitarist John McGeoch ( who later recorded with Siouxsie and the Banshees as well as Public Image Ltd ) gives the band a great musical base. And Steve Strange is a much better singer than you think he would be. The lyrics are ( mostly ) about nightclubbing, dancing, and dressing up, but they are really inconsequential, as the music really carries the album. A great slice of eighties dance music.

4 out of 5 stars 'We move in mysterious ways'.......2004-01-08

Visage was a great synth-heavy band of the early '80's. Sound familiar? Yes the air was thick back then with the sounds of Bowie-worshiping club fiends. One of the things that sets Visage apart from the pack is guitarist Midge Ure. Ure is a severely underrated musician and producer. The bulk of this collection features Ure's playing and songwriting before he quit the band. The post-Midge tracks hold up as well. Of course with a frontman like Steven Strange the rest of the band is bound to get overlooked. Although a highly visual band, Visage was not lacking in the musical department, penning some incredibly catchy tunes such as 'Anvil' and their big hit 'Fade to Grey'. The purpose of this collection as with all best of's is to thin out the back catalogue of more obscure bands. Still this is a great bunch of songs.

4 out of 5 stars A non-appreciated artist who deserves some credit........2002-05-26

I first heard this band when I lived Down Under, who at the time had two songs in the top 20 "Fade to Grey" and "Mind of A Toy". The fantasy style music energized a sour musical era which did not catch up in the US till about late 1982. BY then these artists Midge Ure and Billy Curie (Ultravox) had split from this band and made something for themselves.

This band had been the early 80's version of "House music" with the intention of not becoming widely known, but in hopes of setting a new trend in the music scene (aka "New Wave")with an imagery of fantasy romantic style music that is danceable. And it sold records. It paved the way for bands like Duran Duran, Human League, Heaven 17, even Joy Division who at once all claimed to have been influenced by this band. The only problem is the US of course was a little behind in the trend,so Visage's work was never was recognized by New Wave music fans in the US.

I particular enjoy "Mind of a Toy" ,"The Anvil", and "The Damned Don't Cry". The imagery of the music distracts the listener from the lyrics. However, it is pretty cool to listen to. The music videos if you can find them were very well choregraphed to the songs.

3 out of 5 stars Good collection of synth-pop tunes........2000-10-04

Visage is a pretty cool band. Their musicianship and songwriting skills are good. This hits package is listenable and satisfying. There's a total of twelve tracks, and all of them are in a synth-pop musical direction. The singer does a nice job with the vocal duties, and the keyboards sound tight. All of the tracks are pretty good. My favorite songs are both versions of "Fade to Grey" and "Love Glove." The CD booklet also contains a biography of the band. Worth a listen.

5 out of 5 stars The Damned Don't Cry.......2005-07-30

The Damned Don't Cry is a very good best of collection from Visage and Steve Strange. All the hits are included for instance, fade to grey, mind of a toy, love glove, in the year 2525, and many others. Steve Strange was and is a very ecentric fellow and he was as much know for his clothes as hit music. This is amazing music and the best of New Wave.

5 out of 5 stars Classic, because it's still the best music around.......2005-05-21

I just bought this cd recently, after enjoying the Blitz-time at Inflation in Melbourne. I missed this music in my collection, even after 20+ years. Isn't that incredible ? The music is catchy, dancable, at times brilliant, nostalgic, stylish and of sheer beauty. It's thatrical, aswell as glossy and it's like parading at The Ramblas at Barcelona or anywhere else. It's still fashionable, although you won't find a hairdresser or fashionist in my near surroundings.

I sincerely do hope, this music will have a rebound, as music has become to flat these days. Overproduced without any real spheric presence. Visage has all that. Look al the musicians...Magazine, Ultravox, Rusty Egan and Steve Strange. I've read that Strange is going to rule again in ol'new ways, and I wish him all the best. Hopefully he will be able to strike me again ...for another 25 years. But this music ? Will always be part of me. Not only for pasts'sake, although I can't deny it was a great time. And you can hear just that, for sure.

4 out of 5 stars New Romantic Nostalgia..........2001-08-23

Wonderul album, contains the brilliant 'fade to grey'. I always admire Steve Strange's outfits, he's different and this reflects onto the music too. This is a must if you love 80s/new romance. 'Damned don't cry' and 'pleasure boys' are also cool songs. Although Mr. Strange has been in bad press lately, his work here cannot be ignored.

5 out of 5 stars Essential for the chansom junkie. Buy It........2006-10-25

'Poulenc Melodies' performed by a really impressive lineup of vocal talent including Elly Ameling and Nicolai Gedda is exactly the kind of recording you need if you are compulsive about having 'complete' collections of things. This shows a range of composition which smaller releases such as single CD 'Voyage a Paris' (Hyperion, with Felicity Lott and Graham Johnson)can give us. For starters, many of these chansom showed a lot more evidence of more modern stylings and a far greater range of interpretation. In fact, I even had to check the lyrics in the included booklet to verify that on some songs, the performers were singing in French. Even though I have a smattering of knowledge of French, I would have sworn that the singers were performing songs in Russian.

I am happy that all four discs run for more than 60 minutes. No cheap short changing here. If you don't want to spring for the large set, the Hyperion release is great, but this is worth every penny.

4 out of 5 stars Almost completely wonderful.......2005-04-29

Its very considerable advantage lies in its completeness. Poulenc was one of the very greatest songwriters of any era. If you have no Poulenc songs in your collection, start here. The recommendation of Kruysen is a fine one, but only after you have heard this as a basis of comparison. Of Ameling, Senechal, Souzay, Gedda, and Parker, the only disappointment is Parker, who - I'll just say it - sings with his usual bleat. Souzay is a shade past it in vocal quality, but he still understands these songs as well as anybody, with great declamation (and that, after all, is what most of French singing is about). The dryness of the voice is nowhere close to disastrous, as it might have been in Italian opera. Indeed, it lends an air of life lived, without excuses. Gedda is okay. The standouts are Souzay, Ameling, and Senechal. Baldwin accompanies superbly.

5 out of 5 stars Indisputable Gallic flair.......2004-06-06

These performances are piquant and stylistically right on target. Even if Souzay is past his best here, he brings a lifetime of experience to bear and the other performers are wonderful. Ignore the curmudgeon who blasted this set. You will enjoy this tremendously if you love Poulenc.

4 out of 5 stars Idiomatic, fresh, cleanly recorded.......2001-05-12

This is a fine set. Dalton Baldwin accompanies each singer with clarity and zest. And who can resist the affectionate singing of the likes of Nicolai Gedda and Elly Ameling? The "melodies" themselves are magnificent--among Poulenc's finest creations. Whether you have other performances of these works or not, I think you'd be pleased with this beautifully recorded set. Certainly the 70's-vintage performances are more individual in profile, more "romantic," if you will, than those conjured by most of the "anonymous" singers of our own age. Recommended with enthusiasm.

2 out of 5 stars the best songs ever ruined by uneven performing.......2001-05-05

This is a warning for all Poulenc fans NOT to take the bargain route and purchase this immense collection -- you might think you're getting a great deal but: the singing and pianism is substandard and doesn't do the music justice (remotely). Songs like Bonne Journe'e or Ho^tel are all but ruined... Here's what to buy: Bernard Kruysen's CD of selected Poulenc masterpieces (favoring the Elouard settings)... nobody will ever come close to Kruysen in interpreting Poulenc. Avoid THIS CD. They still get 2 stars for (1) being encyclical and (2) delivering clear and even sound quality.

5 out of 5 stars Certainly different.......2006-03-18

I have listened to this album many times and it always strikes me as being unique. Certainly it is very pretensious, but so was all of the posing and imagery of the time. The tracks are an eclectic mix of synth music with Strange's vocals over the top, and instrumentals such as "The Dancer" with a beat that could almost pass for some of the glam rock tunes of the decade before. It is not music you can dance to; but as I recall from visits to Strange's clubs of the time (Club Blitz, Club for Heroes etc) that wasn't the point. You listened and posed and checked-out everyone else. The album really evokes the era well.

5 out of 5 stars Visage ~ Visage.......2005-07-26

Visage is a one tremedous album from the mind of Steve Strange. This is without a doubt the best New Wave album of all time. Strange has some tremedous vocals and the lyrics are incredible. Tracks such as blocks on blocks, fade to grey, tar and mind of a toy set the bar high and the rest of the tracks are truly amazing in their own right. The cover art for this album is astounding and the dancing couple with the band in the background is one of my favorite covers of all time. This is an album not to be missed.

5 out of 5 stars "FADE TO GRAY", THE BEST POPSONG EVER.......2005-06-26

"Fade to gray" has everything. This kind of music will only be produced once.

4 out of 5 stars excellent, but the pressing presented here is outdate.......1999-08-21

Visage's self-titled album is a real masterpiece. Te instrumentation is great, Steve Strange's vocals is good, in short, this album is a perfect example of the New Romantic music of the 80's. However, this particular UK Polydor pressing is outdated since One Way Records rereleased the album in remastered form with the dance mix of "Fade to Grey" as bonus track. So, go to the previous page and select the "Visage + bonus tracks" title, it is also chaper than this one

5 out of 5 stars A truly excellent recording of wonderful music.......2006-09-17

From beginning to end, this CD is brilliantly performed. I would recommend this highly to anyone, not just those interested in early music.

5 out of 5 stars Superb.......2000-09-15

If you have even a passing interest in early music, get this disc! As with the other Ensemble Unicorn discs I have heard, the musicianship and performances are first-rate. The recording quality is also excellent.

This is mostly vocal music with a few instrumentals. So if that is not your cup of tea then you might want to try something else.

The fact that Naxos continues to put out music of such high quality at a budget prices is a thumb to the nose at the mainstream recording industry.

5 out of 5 stars A first rate Puerto Rican tenor!.......2006-12-05

How do I begin? Well, Antonio Paoli had an enormous, vibrant, forward, sometimes hesitant, color varied, pingy, puissant bel canto heroic tenor voice. Lauri-Volpi wrote in Parallel Voices of his massive vibrations that set him, along with Bernardo de Muro apart as the largest of the dramatic voices of his time. Lauri-Volpi also sang during Del Monaco's time. In fact, one could say that Del Monaco's Otello was definitely inspired by Paoli as there are similarities in their tonal delivery - but only perhaps in Otello - (as otherwise) del Monaco recalls Galliano Masini. One could also say that de Muro must have used Paoli as the supreme example for his style of singing in that if played track to track it is difficult to distinguish them especially at the top. The difference being that Paoli used a forward bel canto tone, and de Muro was more chesty in the verismo manner, pushed.

It is exactly that uniqueness of the bel canto approach that distinguishes Antonio Paoli and what may have contributed to his loss of popularity in the height of verismo. His tone is not always beautiful but it is never pushed - ever and it is one legato line. He does not obscure consonants to obtain legato like dramatics in our time. Words have less meaning in our time, which makes sense - expressive artists are generally not employed. Musically, he has an exciting way of creating tension in the line by raising the pitch by a quarter-tone or less, and attacking the notes before the beat on which they fall. He seems gifted to find those oppurtune places in the music.

His bel canto method does not prevent any dramatic use his voice, for even though minimal breath escapes in the line, his Pagliacci scenes (on this set) possess supreme accent of dramatic timing and a full exploitation of the chest vibrations which ring more than any singer I have heard. Once again, he possesses bel canto, dramatic, and rhythmic gifts, and here in lies Paoli's contribution, uniqueness, and genius. Paoli is probably the most underrated tenor I have encountered.

Yet, a strange tentative quality abides much of the time - the same one Rosa Ponselle battled with.

Album Description

Handel's oratorios vary greatly in their presentation. In many ways, Esther is a rarity;it is by far the most intimate, not surprisingly as it was composed for the Duke of Chandos. The Duke's Palladian palace near the village ofEdgware had not been completed in time for the first performance so this may have taken place (as did Acis and Galatea) in the intimate surroundings of a small church, St Lawrence, Whitchurch.

We decided, therefore, that we should attempt to convey that intimacy of performance on disc; so we performed in the round with microphones in the middle, the orchestra in front of me, the choir behind and the soloists alongside. The result is everything that chamber music should be where players and singers can enjoy every aspect of Handel's masterpiece.

"The 'sound' of Esther, superbly communicated in the recorded performance here, is pure enchantment... The choral singing has an exceptional grandure, and the instrumental playing a shimmering beauty. Among the soloists, none of whom is less than accomplished, Nancy Argenta and Michael Chance dominate... Both singers affirm a new golden age of Handel interpretation".

5 out of 5 stars THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME.......2007-01-26

Esther is the first of Handel's oratorios by a good many years, written when he was 33 and enjoying the patronage of the Duke of Chandos. When he later became his own impresario and was running into trouble as a composer and producer of Italian operas he turned to oratorio as a strategic alternative, but at this early date his concern was to deliver staged entertainments for the Duke, and Esther, contemporary with the work that later gained the title Acis and Galatea, seems to have been just an unusually serious specimen of its type.

As often with Handel, there is no fully official version of the score, and this particular score may not even be fully complete from any point of view. The libretto seems to have been the work of someone in the frivolously named association of big literary figures called the Scriblerus Club, perhaps Dr John Arbuthnot, dedicatee of Pope's great poetic Epistle, but Pope himself may have had a hand in it too. As we have it here, the work breaks into two very asymmetrical parts. Scenes 1 and 2 start with a recitative lasting only seconds from Habdonah followed by a longer one in which Haman announces his onslaught on the Israelites, and from there on feature only anonymous participants. Esther herself and the other named characters make their appearance first in scene 4, but the change of tone occurs in scene 3. At this point the music gains gravity first in the chorus Ye sons of Israel with its extraordinary modulations and then in the striking aria O Jordan, Jordan. I myself feel that this weightier tone is maintained to the end, whether or not the writer of the liner note is correct in saying that the long final chorus with solos is out of proportion to its context.

Throughout - in the first part as well as in scenes 3-6 - the instrumental writing is vivid and varied, with an extraordinary pizzicato accompaniment to Tune your harps and then an even more extraordinary obbligato from the harp itself at Praise the Lord. The harpist is no less than Jan Walters, but sometime I would like to see the score and check out what seem some odd rhythmic interactions here between her and the soloist Nancy Argenta. There are no fewer than ten vocal soloists in a work lasting a little over an hour and a quarter, and a very distinguished bunch they are. I was particularly pleased to find Michael Chance in the countertenor role of the Priest of the Israelites as I admire the strength of his tone, but there is no real weakness among them, unless Lynda Russell as Esther has a couple of very slightly awkward high notes in Flatt'ring tongue, which must be a little nerve-wracking to sing as she has to find her note for herself unaccompanied at the start and later at the reprise. You will see some big names among the instrumentalists too, with Crispian Steele-Perkins on the trumpet making a predictably fine contribution towards the end, and of course with Jan Walters in that marvellous harp part early on. The chorus gets some wonderful work to do, and rises to it fully. I really am unable to worry about the proportionateness of the final chorus when I hear that incomparable Handelian build of tone, sung by 18 singers and sounding as if there were 100.

There is a good liner note by Graydon Beeks Jr, not perhaps the last word in lucidity (neither is the plot of the libretto come to that) but worth re-reading. Harry Christophers himself contributes a short foreword largely concerned with the recording process and highlighting the contributions of Mark Brown and Mike Hatch, his long-time technical collaborators. I was interested to see also the name of Geoff Miles in a role described as `editor'. What responsibilities this involved is not stated and perhaps I ought to know without being told, but I know the work of Geoff Miles as recording engineer from elsewhere and it gave me confidence just to see that he is involved in the proceedings, and the technical work is predictably excellent.

My collection of Handel oratorios is now almost complete, and what a wonderful musical experience they are. Each is unique in its own way, but Esther is unique in some very special ways, and I suggest that you do not wait until you are my age to get to know it.

5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-04-04

Handel began composing the oratorio 'Esther' in 1718. There is some confusion as to who actually worte the libretto for it, but the story follows very closely the biblical story of Esther in the Book of Esther in the old testament. The story tells of a plot of Haman, the Agagite (Michael George-bass) jealous and powerful vizier of King Xerses (Ahasuerus-Tom Randle-tenor) of Persia(485-464), to destroy in a single day all the Jews living in the Roman Empire. He is moved to this out of hatred for the Jewish servant Mordecai (Mark Padmore-tenor),who for religious motives refuses to render him homage. The day of the proposed massacre is determined by lot. Meanwhile, Esther,niece and adopted daughter of Mordecai, is chosen Queen by King Xerses. She averts the pogrom planned against her people and has the royal decree of extermination reversed against Haman and the enemies of the Jews. Mordecai replaces Haman, and together with Esther, works for the welfare of their people. As you can see this makes for an interesting Oratorio, which it truly is!
This is a "small" contribution compared to many of Handel's other works. However, it is not "small" in a musical sense. There is much creativity on the part of Handel as to orchestral scoring; he exploits his small orchestra and chorus in surprising ways, introducing new vocal and instrumental colours throughout the score, adding and subtracting instruments and voices in many and varied ways. This is a listening surprise as it moves along. And what a great performance on the part of the Christophers as well as some outstanding vocal soloists. Mark Padmore's (Mordecai) aria "Tune Your Harps to Cheerful Strains" was superb as was the Duet between Lynda Russell (Esther) and Tom Randle (Ahasuerus).But the aria that really drew me into the entire drama was sung by Michael Chance (Priest) "O Jordan, Jordan, sacred Tide." It was perfection itself!!!!The Chorus was extremely good and dictionally perfect. It is a great listening experience.
