Customer Reviews:
A little too much and poor sound quality.......2006-11-10
Even though this was recorded just a couple of years ago the sound quality is not that good. It sounds like it was recorded in the 70s and outside with the microphones far away. There is nothing too deep here and all the fanfares are fairly short, just lasting a few seconds it seems. I got tired of this pretty quickly and it doesn't stand up to repeated listenings and to be honest a lot of the stuff on here sounds the same. The performances are ok, but nothing special, they sound kind of flat, and they don't really do anything to make this sound exciting like it should. Maybe if the performance and sound was better I would of enjoyed this more.
And now, honored ladies and gentlemen, may we present...!.......2003-07-17
This is what you'd have to call a specialty CD. It consists entirely of fanfares--nothing but fanfares--some of them as short as 10 seconds long. An interesting idea for a CD, perhaps, but I would guess it is primarily for directors of costume dramas, period pieces, and ceremonies of various sorts.
There are 76 fanfares on the disc covering composers ranging from Monteverdi to a trio of modern composers, all of the latter associated with the CD itself. They are played by an outfit called 'The Art of the Trumpet,' a coalescence of 24 Austrian trumpeters and a couple of timpanists (and on occasion a single trombone). Some of the fanfares use the whole group, there are others for solo trumpet, and for all combinations in between. They are led by a trumpeter from Vienna named Leonhard Leeb who is not only one of the trumpeters but also one of the composers--the other two modern composers are Leon Bolten and Joel Modart (I almost typed 'Mozart' but no!...).
Other composers include Salieri, Lully, Biber, J.H. Schmelzer, Pezel (often spelled Petzel here in America), Philidor (yes, the chess master of that name), Marc-Antoine Charpentier, and the multi-talented A. Nony Mous.
The performances are appropriately stirring, ceremonial, attention-grabbing, even mournful (one, Bolten's 'Wrapped in Mystery,' was dedicated to the victims of the World Trade Center tragedy of September 11, 2001). I would strongly suggest you not listen to the whole CD at one sitting--actually, it's hard to imagine anyone would--because too much B flat can fry your brain unless you yourself are a brass player or bagpiper.
For what it is, though, this CD is excellent.

Very spiffy........2005-09-26
Oh man... I like this cd! I got it for "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise;" that song is absolutely adorable. I love French, and some of the songs are in French (some in English). Nice sound, a handful of good songs, and I do enjoy his voice! What a fox, that Georges Guetary, I tell you what... (yes, I am as cool as I sound).
Ma Belle Marguerite/Guetary.......2005-08-29
Delightful, intimate, charming. Includes the actual dubbing tracks for his songs from "An American In Paris," including the vocal from the outstanding Folies-style number, "I'll Build A Stairway To Paradise." Was there ever a more stylish song and dance man, than the Georges Guetary we see in that movie scene?
Interestingly, in his duet with Gene Kelly, "'S Wonderful," Mr. Kelly seems strangely threatened or desperately competitive with the ineffable Mr. Guetary. I was as shocked as Mr. Kelly to find someone more charming than he.
Most of the songs are in French (I think it's French!) but this does not hamper my enjoyment of the disc.

interesting indeed.......2003-07-11
I find the earlier work by Glass to be his best. It's exciting because in this time Glass, with others like Steve Reich, comes to a new style in classical music: minimal. Later work by Glass will be less and less true to this style, it waters down to more usual, standard 19th century kind of classical (that's a generalization, yes). Only the melodies are played over the same minimal sounding support.
Looking through some cd's with earlier work by glass, I believe Contrary Motion is thought to be an important piece by Glass. Listening to it emphasizes this idea: you hear the, by now, well known, repeated, subtly changing repetitions. What's nice about this piece compared to ensemble pieces, like a version of Contrary motion, for instance, is that it clarifies Glass' minimal idea better because it's only one musician playing. This idea is further well explained in the booklet and, playfully, on the cd by tapping on a table by Steffen Schleiermacher.
Besides Contrary motion there's an even more minimal track on this cd: two pages (which referes to the fact that the, in this case, 27 minutes of music can be written out on two pages (an idea inspired by minimalist Terry Riley?)). This only has only one ever slightly changing melody line and clarrifies Glass' minimal method of adding and cutting to and from a melody line.
Both the minimal tracks have an extremely hypnotising, trance envoking quality to them. That is: if your in for that, otherwise, the booklet explains, you may just find them extremely boring.
The cd is completed by a nice, more normal sounding, track, composed for the first visit of the Dalai Lama to New York: Mad Rush.
Interesting.......2002-12-04
This disc contains some of Philip Glass' early organ works, showcasing the repetitive style that made him famous. the first and last tracks on the CD are more repetitive than the middle track, and are somewhat like musical "paintings", not meant to be actively listened to, but just played in the background, where you can visit them from time to time.
The middle track, "Mad Rush", might be rushy but certainly isn't mad. It is in a strict formal structure, with a quiet theme contrasted by a fst, loud theme, and going back and forth between the two. This track is overall the most enjoyable on the CD.
I don't understand the two versions of "One+One"; first why are they on an "Early Keyboard Works" CD, and second, I've just never been able to understand the intricate complexities of music meant to be played by banging on a tabletop.

The Essential Coloratura Album.......2007-02-16
The artistry of Rita Streich presented in this multi-disc set represents an art that in all likelihood would not return: the Viennese school of coloratura and lyrical singing.
Together with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Rita Streich studied voice with Maria Ivogun, a great coloratura soprano of the German-Austro school. Together with her colleague, Streich excelled in the Viennese-style coloratura singing. This album presents her wide range of repertoire from Austro-German to French to Italian opera; from classical opera to romantic Strauss operetta; from lieder to folk songs.
What this album does NOT include is Streich's Russian repertoire, some thing that, owing to her maternal descent, she was most adept at.
Unlike Schwarzkopf, Streich owned a voice that is out-right lyrical. It is even lighter, even more agile, even more silvery, though not as forceful as Schwarzkopf's on demand. Listen to her delightful "Bastien und Bastienne", her Mozart concert arias and enjoy her highly articulated, musically refined delivery. It is the exemplary Viennese singing. Her soubrettes as well as lyrical heroines are nothing short of being superb.
Not being as internationalised a singer as Schwarzkopf, Streich nonetheless was a representative figure of Viennese coloratura singing. Some times I would even feel that her coloratura is even more superior to that of the great dramatic coloratura of the 20th century, Joan Sutherland, again a very much more internationalised singer than Streich.
If you are undergoing voice training, this box set is essential.

When you hear the methodical full-body slams (or so they seem) delivered by pianist Chris Brown on Henry Cowell's Dynamic Motion, it amazes that the composer scripted the piece in 1914. Exactly when the world was hitting its modern stride, when speed was vital, Cowell was plunging listeners into the most dense piano music ever composed, even using the term cluster to describe how the piano ought to be played in his works. This collection of 26 Cowell pieces focuses on the easily contained modern era, all of it composed before 1930 and most before 1925. Don't let that mislead you, though; these are some of American music's most maverick moments, times when Cowell made himself perfectly clear in declaring a new language for the keyboard. The pieces, while resolutely American in their declarative, independent character, are also painfully lovely, each suggesting (and many making abundantly clear) the profusion of tonal and atonal possibilities in different clusters. The performers are an adventurous lot, with Brown and Joseph Kubera the best known. But Sorrel Hays and Sarah Cahill do equally tremendous things with these works, exploding them for their full interpretive potential (as Cowell would want). This is one of the great piano-music releases of the 1990s, intrepid and sonically outstanding. --Andrew Bartlett
