Babes in the Woods

Amazon.com essential recording
Not only is Mary Black the most popular female vocalist in Ireland, she has pulled off the rare feat of gaining the respect of fans of both contemporary and traditional music. Babes in the Woods went straight to the top of the Irish charts in 1991 and stayed there for six weeks. Black can make an ancient song sound new and a modern song sound centuries old. She has a knack for digging to the center of a song and revealing its secrets; witness her version of Richard Thompson's "Dimming of the Day," which may well be the most haunting reading ever of this beautiful song. --Michael Simmons

Perhaps I should start by admitting a bias: Many years ago, lying on Boston's grassy Esplanade by the Charles River on warm summer nights, I learned what a symphony orchestra should sound like, with Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra. Those concerts were free; these seven compact discs are not--not quite. But for any lover of light classical music, they are certainly one of the best buys available. The orchestra (essentially the Boston Symphony) is one of the world's greatest; the music, from Smoke Gets in Your Eyes to the Goyescas Intermezzo and Ride of the Valkyries is instantly enjoyable and permanently valuable; the conductor is at the same time genial and exacting, convinced that any music you play, no matter how frivolous, deserves the best you can give it. --Joe McLellan
