Customer Reviews:

Wonderful.......2007-04-22

I must confess I am unfamiliar with Copland's "The Tender Land" except for this reissue, which I find to be absolutely magnificent. I realize this is a truncated performance, eliminating what I assume to be a fair amount of spoken dialogue. But I don't care. What is presented here is simply one of the finest American compositions - forget American - one of the finest compositions of the 20th century. Period.

Pure joy.......2005-07-29

The recording of Copland's The Tender Land is alone worth getting this disc. The rest of the vocal works are just a bonus, a very good bonus! Copland directs a definitive account of his opera, and in this compressed version leaves out all the spoken parts of the full length opera, no doubt depriving us of a lot of good music but on the other hand giving listeners a very concise version that is even stronger musically (although dramatically a little lacking in logic because of the missing parts - for example without knowing of the confrontation during the party scene you would find the boys' departure the next morning puzzling, and the CD notes does not elaborate on the plot, which is about the only negative thing you can say about this set). Listening to the opera in this abridged version gives you the feeling of one hit after another, there is not a single weak point in the score and Copland has a gift for word-setting that can turn clumsy texts such as "girls come and go, some are good, some are not so good" into goosebumps stuff (a lovely dedication to Laurie sung by Grandpa). Other high points include the stunning transformation of the traditional Walls of Zion into the quartet piece The Promise Of Living and a rollicking Party Scene, which contains the best in Copland's clever orchestration and rythmic vitality - it seems all of the composers best traits have all come together in this work. Martin's Act 2 Song 'Laurie...You Know, Laurie' is a rare gem or an aria and beautifully sung. Other hidden gems include the comical 'We've Been North'. The cast is impeccable and the entire performance is flawless. Add to that one of those scores that simply win you over from start to finish, and you can't but fall in love with this music. I once thought that nothing could better Appalachian Spring but that was before I discovered this neglected work.

Copland's vocal work.......2002-08-08

And so on this third set of the celebration of Aaron Copland's music, all attention is on his vocal work including the opera, "The Tender Land".

I can't completely explain why I give this five stars after giving the first two sets four stars each. This is just the way the opera, in particular, strikes me. I'm no great opera fan, and to my knowledge, America just has not yet proved itself in the operatic field although it's tried. It will take time, but I do see Copland's work as someday being considered the best example of American opera. This is all subjective opinion, obviously, and I'm sure there are those more knowledgeable who will disagree. So be it.

Album Description

Count to Infinity combines several popular club/dance styles into one smashing album. Elements of trance and house music mix in the background, topped with smooth vocals and synthpop accessibility for one memorable song after another. Fans of Pet Shop Boys will find many similarities.

Customer Reviews:

This cd is quite good!.......2002-12-30

Count to infinity is great. It is sort of trancish/synthpop. It is rather original sounding and shouldn't be compared to others. There is is a lot of good variety to this man and I pray he keeps it up...

a pretty good cd to get into.... check it out!!.......2002-12-27

A Different Drum always manages to put out interesting worthy cds. and this is no exception. John Giacobello is CTI. Sarah Silbert's vocals on jessica are a very nice addition. the cd is 48:54 long, so you get a respectable time on it. as for comparison, i think the petshop boys comparison is accurate in some songs. the vocals on this cd are clear and smooth, much like the pet shop boys. the song "Twirl" is one of my favorites on the cd. there are some good dance tracks on this cd as well. the song Jessica is the first single from the cd. it is a great song. Sarah's vocals are really cool on this track.

is this cd for everyone?? maybe not, but if you like synthpop, you will like it. i will agree that i have a track i could maybe do without, but that doesen't change how i feel about the cd.

review of count to infinity.......2002-04-13

I cant believe someone else reviewed this and compared it to pet shop boys. I did not see the comparison at all. Pet shop boys make music, this is noise like scratching youre nails on a chalk-board.
