Great collection of Natue sounds and music.......2000-10-17

If I want to relax, I put some relaxing music on. And if I want to dance, I put some drums on. But if I want to go on a meditation journey leaving my body behind, I always choose this CD. It has the softest, almost non-music sounds I ever heard. No drums, no human voices, very mild sounds, every now and then you hear an animal and some times it all stops to let you go by yourself . . . And then it slowly returns and caresses you in your dream to call you slightly back from your sleep. If you like closing your eyes on the couch and travel without your body, I strongly recommend this double album. It will support any dream journey you may want to do. And I like it more and more each time I hear it again. Real natural silk.

Purcell wrote several odes in honor of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, for annual concerts in London on St. Cecilia's Day. Hail, Bright Cecilia is the largest of them, with chorus, orchestra, and a larger-than-usual group of soloists depicting a competition between various musical instruments for supremacy. (Naturally, the organ, which legend held Cecilia to have invented, wins.) Paul McCreesh's performance here and Philippe Herreweghe's account on Harmonia Mundi are equally fine: Herreweghe is mellower and a touch more elegant, while McCreesh has a thrilling energy. --Matthew Westphal

Not easy to understand, but worth the effort.......2004-05-30

As well as the St Cecilia ode this disc contains two superb biblical 'verse anthems', the second ending with a lovely and most unusual quiet Alleluia. The disc is thus excellent value in terms of the amount of music provided, the performances have authority and scholarship stamped all over them, the performers are totally accomplished professionals in music of this period and the recorded sound is very good in a discreet way. The piece I am having difficulty with is the Ode itself, or at least its opening number. I was not expecting Handelian extroversion from Purcell, but what is the connexion between minor-key harmonies and a solemn bass solo on the one hand and on the other the sentiment 'Hail bright Cecilia, fill ev'ry heart/With love of thee...' etc? Purely as music it is fine stuff, but it would not have come amiss as a setting of, say, Quid sum miser in a requiem mass. This may be a simple failure of comprehension on my part, and I betook myself to the liner notes for guidance. To my frustration these read like rather amateur advertising copy telling us what to admire (everything, basically) and how to admire it. A certain amount of e.g. 'McCreesh's unforced command of the Ode's wide expressive range' or 'it conveys an arresting grandeur' or 'McCreesh...eschews detached historicism...and brings a fresh and vital approach' is fair enough, and I have to admit that my spirits were lifted when 'the tessitura becomes stratospherically high' and Mr J Freeman-Attwood soars in sympathy into the empyrean with 'Daniels caresses each new graphic image with a magical sense of of gradually unfolding the music's captivating charms'. For this disclosure I am grateful indeed though probably not in the way the author intended, but it's a wasted opportunity when this is all there is.

The text of this St Cecilia ode is by one Nicholas Brady, reasonable workaday stuff but obviously not in the Dryden class. The liner notes do not go into the obscure association of St Cecilia, an early martyr, with the art of music -- legend has her as the inventor of the organ, which she had no more chance of inventing than the saxophone. This is a topic I shall go into when I have got my ideas clearer on the Ode. My unreserved recommendation of this disc does not have to wait for that.
