Hickory Holler reviewed........2007-08-03

Heard the title song on Saturday mornings 'Sounds of the sixties' on Radio 2. Searched my complete (and not insubstantial) record and cd collection and couldn`t believe that I did not own a copy.
So I did what I always do.... tracked it down on the ever faithful Amazon, it was shipped out to me and received in perfect condition, well within the estimated delivery date.
Double CD- REVISITED/FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE. Not disappointed. What a great
easy listening CD. OC`S HITS and perfect covers of songs made famous by other people. Country/ rock at its best.

Hickory Holler Revisited: For Once in My Life.......2006-07-06

My husband and I have enjoyed all the songs sung by O.C. Smith on this C.D. for years it was a joy to find it again.

Double Whammy From A Great Singer........2003-05-16

I've been waiting for years to find 'Hickory Holler Revisited' issued in the cd format and lo and behold here it is with another great album from o c 'For Once In My Life'.
This man was hard to categorize - was he jazz, country, blues or pop?? It really doesn't matter because he had a big powerful voice for any genre.
Lots of tearjerkers here including 'Son of Hickory Hollers Tramp', 'Long Black Limousine' etc. As an added bonus to the 22 tracks on this cd is Mac Davis' 'Friend, Lover, Woman, Wife'.
Unfortunately, O C passed away last year but he left an important legacy for all of us.

The composers Antonín Dvorák, Leos Janácek, and Bohuslav Martinu might not be the names that first spring to mind when love songs are mentioned, yet this fascinating collection gives us a taste of what delights we have been missing. They range from seven Moravian folk songs, collected by Janácek at the turn of the century, to songs written by Martinu in the U.S. in 1942. There's also early Martinu--including songs he collected in Slovakia in 1920--plus the world-premiere recording of Songs for a Friend of My Country, a cycle he wrote in France in 1940 on his way to America. All of these songs are of interest in giving us another aspect of each composer's work; most have much more to offer. Many are achingly lovely, especially those by Dvorák--including his Op. 2, a reworking of four songs from a cycle he had written almost 20 years earlier, and Love Songs, a revision of eight songs from the same cycle. "Good night, my darling," from his 1886 cycle In Folk Tone, is worth the price of this CD alone. Czech mezzo Magdalena Kozená, who put together the program, sings with pure, attractive tone. Graham Johnson is her excellent accompanist. --Richard Fawkes

On the Subject of Intelligent and Sensitive Recitals.......2005-05-19

Combing the recorded literature to find CDs that showcase singers who not only own brilliant vocal gifts but who also possess the intelligence to program recordings of lesser known works in a sequence that makes for intelligent recitals, it is becoming more obvious that there are many singers who opt for purity of purpose rather than 'salesmanship' of careers in the PR arena. Magdalena Kozená is one of these gifted singers whose intelligence and sensitivity match her physical and vocal beauty.

LOVE SONGS is a tastefully selected panorama of lesser-known songs by Kozená's fellow countrymen (Czech) Antonín Dvorák, Leos Janácek, and Bohuslav Martinu. And while many of the Dvorák and Janácek songs have been occasionally heard in recitals, the Martinu "Songs for a Friend of My Country", an exquisitely beautiful work written in 1940, here receives its World Premiere recording. Kozená's voice is in prime condition for these songs and she is ably accompanied by pianist Graham Johnson. The special flavor of these Slavic emotions and songs has rarely been so well captured.

But over and above the beauty of Kozená's performance of these neglected masterpieces shines the glow of her sensitive programming. Recordings such as these are rare and should be included in the libraries of those who appreciate the lieder genre. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, May 05

Lovely.......2004-03-25

This is a beautifully performed selection of Czech lieder. Kozena has a lovely voice and sings with precision and nicely modulated emotion. The accompanying pianist, Graham Johnston, is excellent. Despite the title, not all these songs are love or romantic songs but all are well worth hearing. The selection of songs is excellent. Different listeners will prefer different songs. For me, the highlight of this recording are the rarely heard Martinu songs, many of which exhibit the lyrical aspect of his compositional style. Recommended strongly.

A Beautiful Disc.......2002-01-06

This is simply a magnificent recording. I like it better every time I put it on. The voice is fresh, supple, and expressive. I even find myself trying to learn some of the Czech words (from the translation in the booklet) they sound so nice. Both Kozena and the brilliant piano contributions by Graham Johnson are faithfully caught on the recording. There is enough variety and contrast that one doesn't tire in the least (over the generous 67 minutes of playing time) of hearing these playful, sometimes poignant, songs. One of the best discs, in terms of programming, performance, and sound quality, of the past couple of years.

A stunning burst onto the world stage.......2001-12-17

Magdalena Kozena is suddenly known around the world, thanks to this stunning disc of 42 lieder from her Czech homeland. Most of the songs are short - some come in under a minute, the longest 3-4 minutes. Each is a little gem and many have never been recorded before.

Kozena's voice is sheer delight. She does have resonances in her voice which are reminiscent of her compatriot, Lucia Popp, but is certainly a mezzo - although she has chosen her repertoire well so we hear no strain at the top. Her low resonances are delightful and consistent with her head voice. To compare Kozena's voice to that of the late diva (Popp), it is more pure, more consistent in tone from top to bottom, and doesn't have so much of the `squeezey' quality which Popp used to great effect in evincing the passion of her characters. Kozena can empty her voice of vibrato or let it out rich and full, and uses all her vocal resources to great effect in contrasting the individual songs. She has astoundingly mature lieder-singer's technique for such a young singer.

This recording rightly won a Gramophone award this year. Kozena deserves all the accolades she receives for this - doubtless all listeners will develop their own favourites from these delightful miniatures.

Wonderful songs, and a singer with great potential.......2000-10-08

What a wonderful, carefully thought out CD! Kozena obviously revels in these rarely performed songs by Dvorak, Martinu, and Janacek, and Johnson accompanies with his usual ease and sensitivity. What a pity the piano is balanced distantly -- we hear little of Johnson's variety of touch and dynamics. As for Kozena, she is obviously an intelligent musician with a voice of great potential. It is qutie beautiful as it is, yet the colour is still rather pale. Yes, there is something of the late Lucia Popp's timbre, yet it has little of Popp's depth and range of colour. BBC Legends released a CD of Popp a year ago which includes three Dvorak songs also sung by Kozena. The differences are quite marked -- while Kozena's timbre and interpretation suggests a dreamy yet earnest youth, Popp brings out an autumnal glow and a sharp pain that pierces at least this listener's heart. Kozena has started a wonderful career. Only time will tell how her voice will develop. I do hope it goes in the direction of Popp's unique lyric timbre. No one could ever equal Popp (perhaps it's obvious by now that Popp is my favorite singer of all time), but perhaps Kozena will become something of Popp's heir, while still being her own person. I hope so. But her musicality is not in question. Let's keep our ears open!

A Christmas Album you'll be playing till Next Christmas..........2001-11-17

There's something about the Christmas Spirit that's entirely missing from many Christmas albums-you get the feeling that it's the sound of cash registers ringing rather then bells ringing that is the inspiration for yet another Christmas cash in. Not so Candi Staton's long overdue Christmas outing.
Candi has always said that if she dosen't feel something, she doesn't sing it and that's certainly true of her biggest hits like "Young Hearts Run Free" many of which are drawn directly from her own eventful life. The same feeling of sincerity and truth runs through these grooves, coupled of course with what must be one of the most versatile voices in soul music-warm yet aching, powerful yet gentle all at the same time.
The message that Jesus is the reason for the season shines through but like all of Candi's records the faith message is underpinned with enough muiscal quality and class to hook even the most secular listener
Covering a range of styles from the blusey title number, to the spiritual "Go Tell it On the Mountain" to a joyous swinging reading of Joy to the World, this is an album you'll be sneaking onto your stereo way beyond the holiday season.

Fabulous American Church Music.......2001-10-25

Amy Beach had a fine touch with sacred music, as heard here. 'Jesus, My Savior' is a beautiful piano/voice duet that should be in every church soloist's repertory. Her 'Service in A' rates serious consideration as one of the finest American oratorio-sized works from the 20th century, eclipsed only by Bernstein's 'Chichester Psalms' and Lauridsen's 'Lux Aeterna'.

One of the great voices.......2002-05-14

This album is a real revelation. Lisitsian was mostly neglected since he was active during the closing days of Stalin's rule and the ensuing Cold War Years. But wow! What a voice! His Italian repertoire (in Russian!) is nice, but the real gems are the songs and Russian arias. The Venetian Guest's song is one of the great recordings of the century. And Pavel's "Yeletsky's Aria" from "The Queen of Spades" (Tchaikovskii) is worth the price of the album. Hvorostovsky's version is lovely, but listen to how Lisitsian caresses the first four notes--Ya vas lublyu (I love you). What a wondertul artist!

From the heart singing.......2000-06-16

This is a singer to treasure. He has a beautiful and rich voice with a special timbre...but, there are other beautiful and rich voices. His real and deep appeal for me comes from his authentic and from-the-heart singing completely free of false emotionalisms. My impression is one of honesty of intention and realness of expression. He rivets attention and bathes the heart and ear in his artistry.
