Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Simply put, Michael Hanna is the George Winston of a new generation.

Although Michael's career as a composer and arranger dates back to late 1992, he is first and foremost a storyteller.

"I have always been captivated by the art of storytelling. It's a gift, really; the ability to reach someone else's soul with the human elements of a great story. But a story doesn't have to be told with words. A timeless tale, told with half notes and rests, can be as powerful and transcendent as any told with nouns and adjectives. In my opinion, the best musicians are the best storytellers."

Michael is truly a musical storyteller, his music filled with nostalgia, passion, sorrow, and joy. In the chords and cadences of Michael's music, you will find the mystery of Tolkien, the eloquence of Hemingway, the doubt of Camus, the struggle of Poe, the poetry of Thomas, and the charm of Fitzgerald. Savor these moving and passionate melodies as words to stories of love and loss.

Stop and listen awhile.

Interpretación Exquisita.......2001-12-28

Es dificil dejar de sentir admiración por este extraordinario ensamble vocal Inglés. Su capacidad interpetativa es amplísima y la forma en que sus voces se acoplan es inmaculada.En este disco interpretan arreglos de canciones de amor (y tambien de desamor) de diferentes épocas y compositores.TODO el disco es una mágnifica experiencia musical :el humor de "Chitarra d'amor",la belleza de "She's like the swallow" o el dulce desencanto de "Quand tu dors près de moi"; mencionando algunos ejemplos.
La unica objeción que tengo es que el no esten integrados todos los textos en el librillo del CD.
Yo recomendaría a cualquier amante de la música a escuchar este CD lo mas pronto posible.

You must buy this!.......2001-02-22

There's not much I can say about this album. It's perfect. Completely a cappella, it shows off everything that make the King's Singers one of the world's most masterful vocal ensembles. My two personal favorite tracks are "She's Like the Swallow" and "If Music Be the Food of Love." The solo on "She's Like the Swallow," a sad Canadian folksong, is very beautiful. Tracks such as "La valse a mille temps" and "Down With Love" add a certain amount of humor to the collection.I do not regret purchasing this album in any way. It represents some of the best work that the King's Singers have to offer. You must buy it.

Very, very, very (did I mention Very?) good!.......1999-10-22

A wonderful selection, beautifully performed! Some of these songs I have wanted to hear and own for so long!

An Silvia (Schubert) = Who is Sylvia: they sing a voice-only arrangement that is arguably an improvement of Schubert (okay, pax, you purists). As you may know, this is a setting by Schubert of a poem by Shakespeare. It is just marvellous.

In my estimation, this CD is worth getting for Sylvia alone.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Shakespeare Compilation.......2001-09-27

This CD has it all: Shakespeare period music for mood and background music, Songs actually written into Shakespeare's plays and talent infused into every track. Every song is done well by talented musicians and vocalists and the selection is great. If you are looking for the songs you see featured in your favorite Shakespeare play and would like to hear them, or would like background music to play while you peruse "The Merry Wives of Windsor" or any other plays from that time period, I recommend this CD.

Evocative Shakespeare.......2000-08-31

To your joy you can find beautiful old english songs of he shakespeare era. Nice selection but incompleet. Recomended for those intrested in Shakesperean plays as well.

Pianist Muhal Richard Abrams will forever be remembered as a cofounder of Chicago's venerated Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). While his leadership in the organization is admirable (he was president almost continuously from 1965 to 1977), Abrams was a musical innovator as well. Things to Come from Those Now Gone, originally released in 1972, was his third album for Delmark. Featuring the talents of reedist Ari Brown, bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Steve McCall, and others, the album is extremely varied, featuring different combinations of instruments on each of the seven tracks. Abrams and company often dwell on elegiac musings rooted in the blues, early jazz, and gospel, but there is also some ferocious free jazz interplay at times. The pianist's playing is often contemplative, filled with open spaces and spare chords; when he does pick up the pace, though, Abrams produces material that fits nicely into the great bop-colored traditions in much the same way the Art Ensemble of Chicago's music does. Undoubtedly a sign of how fresh this album sounded when it was originally released, the music here is timeless. --Tad Hendrickson

Customer Reviews:

A masterful set of music........2002-07-07

Simply put, this cd is a classic. Abrams really flexed his compositional muscle for these seven tracks. From the opening number through the closer the music here is a study in contrasts, contrast in instrumentation, texture, tone, structure, and direction. Swinging wildly from serene tonal explorations, to vicious free improvisation and back again all the while making perfect sense, the listener's attention is consistantly rewarded. This is a fantasic place to start for those unfamiliar with the works of the Chicago free jazz scene of the late 60's and early 70's as well as a worthy addition to any jazz collection.
