Customer Reviews:
Wonderfully fine performance.......2004-10-10
This is one opera I have been searching for for a very long time. I read about it in a book about Sullivan. Of course, when they wrote of the opera, they showed the scene, in drawing, where Rebecca informs Ivanhoe of the battle with the Black Knight. The drawing (based on the actual performance when it premiered) grabbed my attention completely. I just wondered what this composer could do with real opera (I loved his operettas completely, and they showed quite often Sullivan was quite capable of deep emotional pathose, even if in the end he was spoofing it more than reflecting it).
Well, all the years of searching and waiting to know were not a waste. Firstly, I have never been able to locate a score of this work (as I have done with many ancient operas or forgotten ones), so I was just as in the dark as anyone else as to what to expect. I was incredibly surprised, not to mention, thrilled with the results. No, Sullivan is no Wagner, nor is he even Verdi, but he is wonderfully beautiful in his own right. Why this work has not entered into the opera houses, I have no clue, excepting maybe because it is English opera, which never does well. Speaking of "ENGLISH OPERA", here we have a recording where for the most part we CAN understand the words (a thing I never seem to find in professional recordings of English opera, or American opera; they may as well sing in gibberish, for that is exactly what it sounds like -- perhaps the composers have no clue what works in their own language?). The performers, as we know, are not professionals, but rather semi-professionals. There are some uneven performances, and sometimes the characters are not quite as developed as one would like, there are even times the orchestra sounds like it lost the beat (but this is EXTREMELY RARE), the sound quality of the recording is OK, but nothing stellar, however, it is not bad either. Yet, in spite of these drawbacks, we CAN and DO understand the words, and for once a rather strange sounding English libretto sounds natural and unforced with stupid poetry that really leaves you laughing. These wonderfully dedicated performers, no matter their individual difficulties, give us a wonderfully vivid performance where we can finally understand the opera (like all our Italian friends do when Italian opera is sung for them). That was such a treat for me, to finally actually understand the words of opera sung in my own language.
What makes this opera such a thrill, at least for me, is the natural fall of the words and the music, especially in the recitatives. Unlike most English opera where the musical line sounds completely foreign to the natural lilt of the words, Sullivan has an uncanny way of writing lines, melodies, and recitatives that flow naturally from the language itself. That was a really exciting experience to endure. For once, I didn't wish that someone would teach the composers to listen to the flow of English to gain an insight into melody. Maybe it was all those operettas that he wrote prior to this "serios opera" that taught him what he knew, or maybe, he just had a good ear for his own language and enough sense to know that trying to graft Italian or German musical idioms onto things just wasn't the correct choice.
Is it a great work? Well, no, it will never get into the record books as a perfect opera, nor will it shove Mozart or Wagner off the stage, but it is really quite good just the same. Even with all the flaws this recording has, I am so glad it is out there so I could at last hear what music fleshed out that old drawing I saw in a book all those years ago. Though Sullivan's music is not anywhere near as dramatic as one may imagine it should be, it fits well with the scene and the over all concept of the work.
I really recommend this recording, for it, at least for now, is the only one we have (and if they make a professional one, I really hope they screen the singers well, no big names if they can't sing English so we can understand it; Sullivan, as with Wagner, you MUST understand the words or the meaning is completely lost). The entire recording is really quite enjoyable, and it doesn't disappoint.
Not ideal, but all there is.......2000-08-05
If you are interested in Arthur Sullivan's Music without Gilbert, this is one of the works you should have in your collection. Unfortunately the quality of the performance is inconsistent. The orchestra is at times good, at others sloppy. The soloists are also of varying quality. This is, after all, a recording by a semi-professional group. That said, if you are willing to accept the flaws, this is currently the only version on disc. Perhaps someday the BBC will record a version, as they did with Sullivan's "Rose of Persia". In the current recording, the most pleasing selections are: The Act 3 Scene 2 ensemble "Look where thy moody father walks apart", Friar Tuck's rollicking "Ho, Jolly Jenkin", The Templar's passionate scene "Woo thou thy snowflake", and Rebecca's evocative aria "Lord of our chosen race". Not all it could be, but it's all we've got.

This is the way ,I think, Purcell should sound. No pomp and surcomstance but only great music.
ALL THE MUSIC YOU EVER NEED!!.......2003-05-23
This boxed set is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. As a Purcell freak, this hits every button I have. The cast of characters include the inequitable Robert King, New College Choir, Bowman, and a host of other venerable persons. Likewise the attention to period performance of these works makes it an essential addition to the library of any serious anglophile/Musicologist etc. Now if only the Britten Realizations of all Purcell's songs could be recorded alongside the originals! You will Love this set!

Cheap reissue of ALIVE 1990.......2006-05-19
I GIVE THIS A LOWER RATING DUE TO THE MARGINAL SOUND QUALITY. IT'S NOT HORRIBLE, BUT COULD BE BETTER.
This is a reissue of the Curved Air reunion CD called ALIVE 1990. It is much cheaper than the original. It has minimal liner notes (it just lists the songs). It is 72 minutes long, with about 70 minutes of music and 2 minutes of Sonja Kristina jabbering.
This was a reunion concert featuring four of the original members, Kristina, Darryl Way, Florian Miska-Whatever and Francis Monkman. When Monkman was originally with the group he mainly played keyboards. Here he is both guitarist and keyboardist and very good at both. I believe there is a guest bassist on at least one track.
The sound quality of the first track, Twenty Years On is horrible. It is an audience recording. Moving into the second track, the sound suddenly gets better. For the rest of the CD, the sound quality is pretty good but not perfect. Dynamic range is pretty good, but there is some distortion. The mix is OK but can be bad in spots.
This is not the worst sounding CD. It is certainly better than notorious live CD's like Black Sabbath Live At Last, King Crimson Earthbound or Epitath and Hawkwind Early Daze. It is even better than Gong, Live in Sherwood Forest. And I actually think it is better than the typical Dave Matthews live CD.
Another reviewer has complained about the group sounding unpracticed and sloppy. I disagree. I think they sound looser and livelier. They also had a looseness in concert that added new excitement to the material. I think that the sloppiness is do to the poor mix and not the peformance of the band.
I really like the music and performance on this CD. Instead of the group acting like some dinosaur band, playing the songs just like on the studio albums, the group changes things around and makes things interesting. However, some people just love that perfect reproduction of the studio versions (which explains why all those Eagles reunion tours are so popular).
Going to Disney's California Adventure and riding Soaring Over California, I was wondered why the music sounded so familiar. It is very similar to the violin solo during It Happened Today.
As a fan of Curved Air, I always preferred the looser, spacier but harder material from Francis Monkman. I didn't like the art rock compositions from Kristina and Way as much. I found songs like Marie Antoinette and Vivaldi to be stiff and teious at times. I think those songs are so much more enjoyable on this live CD, played in a looser style, than on the original studio albums.
I like this CD more than Curved Air Live, maybe because it just has more music on it. However, I prefer the version of Propositions on the earlier album. I think it is the wildest and best thing they have done. On this CD, they have taken the keyboard solo and put it in Young Lover.
If you like the guitar playing on this, you might want to check out Francis Monkman Jam or Phil Manzanera's 801 Live.

Customer Reviews:
Tremendous singer--better than this disk suggests.......2005-09-28
Having seen her in live performance, I am perfectly willing to argue that Olga Borodina is one of the better singers of our times, perhaps the very best. Having listened to this recording, I am forced to admit that she could and should have been better. This is a recital from a very good mezzo, but Borodina should be more, much more, something extraordinary.
Four stars, nevertheless, for a rare and beautiful voice.
Freezer bag of Borodina goodies.......2005-09-03
The voice is wonderful: unbelievably smooth, rich, warm, with a particularly pure timbre. A very exceptional mezzo, and a joy to behold live: even though Borodina School of Acting often consists of not much more than standing there and looking busty and imperial, there is something smoldering going on- I have seen her recently on stage as Delilah and she was every bit as good as the hype has it. She can be surprisingly witty, too, especially in Rossini. Strangely then, how any drama or excitement or any particular distinction is missing from this collection. Delilah arias are beautiful, the runs in Rossini clean and pretty, Queen of Spades quite exciting actually; but the rest is ho-hum, expect for Dido, which is so overdone and bad, it's almost fun, and Handel, which is exceptionally deranged - as Baroque as double cheese burger with Russian dressing. However, even in these pieces, if you can ignore the heavy approach, the voice sounds great.
In other words, catch her live on stage, or at least on opera DVD if you can, but if she is not coming to a town near you any time soon, this CD will do as a basic introduction to the wonders of Borodina's voice.
Truly disappointing.......2004-09-11
I bought this CD because I wasn't sure I would ever get to hear Borodina live, and had heard great things about her voice. Well, it IS a strong, solid, beautiful instrument handled with excellent technique - and, in this case, well recorded too. So what's the problem? Cold, impersonal, Mack-truck approach to performing - very little real connection or involvement at all, as far as I could sense. I agree with another reviewer that the Russian pieces come off by far the best and do give some pleasure. But I'll never listen to this CD again because I find that sort of mechanical singing repellent and boring - so I think I wasted my money.
Greatest Voice of our Time.......2001-01-01
This recording shows Borodina at her most marvelous - so far - and she IS marvelous. Her technique is superb, with a range of notes, volumes, timbres, even vibratos which she uses with amazing skill to bring her characters and every word they sing to life. Her empathy with the audience and with the roles she plays comes across even on this CD, so no one can doubt her great ability as an actress as well as her phenomenal voice which is rich, solid, and full. The instrument is well trained and conditioned and Borodina uses it more skillfully than most. What a great treasure this CD is!
Beautiful.......2000-10-26
As my first experience with the voice of Olga Borodina, I must say that I am impressed. Her voice is sumptuous and seductive. I have not experienced Olga live, but I am sure that for one who has heard her on the stage, a recording does not do her justice. I must say, however, that I think this is a beautiful recording. Olga's voice is amazing, and I can only imagine how she must sound in a live concert if she sounds this good on a recording.
