L'Echo

Amazon.com
On its last few albums, the Louisiana band BeauSoleil has pushed Cajun music into adventurous new territory, absorbing zydeco, rock and Caribbean influences into the tradition and adding striking new compositions by bandleader Michael Doucet. These explorations seem like organic outgrowths of the music rather than extraneous accessories because the group has never lost touch with its Cajun roots. To reinforce that connection between past and present, the musicians of BeauSoleil have devoted L'Echo to 15 songs which influenced them as they grew up. The result is a recording which emphasizes the country-Cajun side of BeauSoleil's music as never before. --Geoffrey Himes

poor sound quality.......2004-09-29

a great selection of baroque favorites, but the sound quality, especially on the pachelbel canon, not great at all. for that reason, i cannot recommend getting it. what do you expect for five dollars, right !>? i would suggest spending a little more money and getting something that you can't bear to part with, for continued listening enjoyment.

SUPERB.......2004-02-19

An introduction to the best baroque music by famous composers.
Great sound on this CD. There are over 10 CD's in this Farorites collection, and this by far is one of the best ones.

If you like the classical sounds of music, then you will like this. Check out the samples on this page that they provide, that's the best way to review.

In this case: I'm baroque.......2004-02-07

I'm not usually a classical listener kind of gal. The only reason I stumbled onto this cd is because my favorite tune from a movie is on it. Sarabande is also played on the movie Persuasion (author: Jane Austen). I wanted to have that tune. Followed the links and landed on the Baroque cd. Ordered it. Sarabande is my favorite, followed by Canon, four seasons: spring, etc. I love this cd! It feels happy and light. For me, as a writer and an animator, it adds extra emotional impact when creating as well as influencing my imagination more. I recommend this cd when people want to feel like spring.

Come to laugh and stay to cry.......2003-11-26

Circumspect at first about buying any CD with a "best of" title, this one really exceeds expectations. Also bought the Vivaldi disc in this series which is likewise exceptional. With the caveat that "Ombra mai fu" is repeated in various of the "25 favorites" collections, I recommend these recordings wholeheartedly, especially in terms of cost per track.

"Canon" is the flagship piece on this CD, a lush arrangement that will move a strong man to tears. Almost as powerful are Bach's "Air on the G String" and of course, Handel's "Ombra mai fu". The disc ends on an up note with "Trumpet Voluntaire".

At this price, you can send "Baroque favorites" to every Classical music lover you know. I would recommend sending this CD even to people who don't like Classical...you might just change their minds.

Great Introduction to Beautiful Music.......2000-07-08

The Baroque period (1600-1750) was one of the most important in the history of music because many of our modern musical forms come from this time. The baroque style is diverse, including such elements as contrast and a deep emotionalism. Although orchestras perform the songs, many individual instruments are highlighted. The baroque composers especially loved strings, the trumpet, and the oboe. The songs range from the vibrant and the lively to the slow and the sad. I have found this CD is excellent as background music for studying, reading, or driving in rush hour traffic, mainly because the music is calming and relaxing. Baroque masters such as Bach and Handel are still popular today and their songs are loved by many. Fans of popular music will recognize a few of the songs on this CD. "Air on the G String" (Bach) was used by Procol Harum in their song "A Whiter Shade of Pale." "Canon," one of the most popular baroque songs today, is often performed at weddings and has been incorporated into pop songs by artists such as the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Vitamin C, and Rod McKuen.

This CD is considered an introduction to baroque music. It includes some of the most famous composers and their best songs. For example, Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi each have three songs on this disc. The liner notes are sparse, but a brief history of baroque music is included. Because of the inexpensive price and the huge amount of music (25 songs, 74 minutes of music), I highly recommend this for anyone who already loves the baroque style or wants an excellent introduction to this beautiful music.

Amazon.com's Best of 2000

Eco de Sombras, Peruvian diva Susana Baca's second album for the David Byrne-helmed Luaka Bop label, both lives up to the mystical implications of its title ("Echo of Shadows") and places her exquisite voice in the center of ancient-to-the-future acoustic grooves that make it an instant beyond-category classic. Watching her try to top this one will be a great pleasure for music fans! --Rickey Wright

Amazon.com

In her Spanish-language songs about love, heritage, and slavery days, Susana Baca elevates the nearly extinct Afro-Peruvian blues--its sambas, landos, and alcatraz rhythms--to high art. Like Bahia diva Virginia Rodrigues or Cape Verde morna singer Cesaria Evora, Baca is part of a new generation of international female vocalists who take an almost chamber-music approach to their respective styles. On this album, that means augmenting her usual band with such musical guests as keyboardist John Medeski (of Medeski Martin & Wood) and electric guitarist Marc Ribot (Los Cubanos Postizos), who add almost imperceptible instrumental shimmers to her band's understated yet undeniably robust (and often Cuban-flavored) grooves. Like the blues, Baca's resonant lamentations, sung in a voice reminiscent of antique bamboo, transcend sadness with deeper and subtler emotional flavors. --Richard Gehr

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful, but a little too much for me.......2006-12-09

Eco de Sombras is the natural continuation of what Susana Baca was trying to do with her self-named album. However, while this album is incredibly musical, I find the sometimes violent sensuality of this album harder to digest.

Can't stop playing it.......2005-10-21

I discovered this CD accidentally and I haven't been able to stopy playing it. I carry around 1,500 songs on my iPod, but I've been playing this over and over again for the past 4-5 days. The music is so rich and poetic that every time I hear a song I seem to discover something new about it. I don't understand Spanish, but the phonetics of the words are so beautiful that they are songs all by themselves. I highly recommend this CD and can't wait to get her entire discography.

The Best.......2003-06-24

This CD is the absolute best of Afro-Peruvian music. It is romantic, steamy, and bold. I can't wait for her to return to the states on tour.

Shadows of the Sun.......2002-12-03

A lovely, simple, passionate album. Her voice is flawless. A rich instrument that breathes colors and maps into the song's journey. A world of feeling communicated through simplicity. Timeless.

Her voice is as smooth as silk!.......2001-10-27

As the owner of a coffee shop which along with serving great coffee ---music is second on our list of MUSTS!!!!!!
Buy it and enjoy her delicate smooth voice. No need to know how to speak spanish ---just enjoy the rythm.

a rare gem.......2002-05-16

These are songs with lots of happiness and feeling. Anyone who likes bass/guitar/vocals type of band should be able to appreciate the fine rythms and songwriting going on here. The bass lines are contageous, the ukeleles are briskly strummed, and Marie is enchanting. The production is easy and natural. These islanders are clearly having fun playing this music. This is a meaningful insight into a more ideal culture. It is truly uplifting music and I think more people should hear it.

This is the real Tahiti!.......2000-06-24

I have been going to Tahiti for more than 40 years. In the old days Marie Mariteragi and her family would play this old, authentic Paumotu music at the Hotel Stuart next to the Post Office in Papeete. You can not find a better example of this enchanting music any where. I sent many copies to old friends in Tahiti and they all agree that this is the best.

Great Chamber music........2007-01-10

This is an absorbing collection of Schenck's sonatas and suites, with the viola de gamba sounding elegant and clear (rather than mushy or morose, as it sometimes can in music of this period). These are quiet but complex and rewarding pieces which hold my interest even after multiple playings. The two Schenck 'Nymphs of the Rhine' discs by Naxos are also very good, but those contain only two viola de gamba's throughout, whereas this disc offers a little more variety of sound.

highly recommended !

Baroque Viola da Gamba Virtuosity.......2005-03-25

Lorenz Duftschmid plays a viola da gamba with other period-instrument musicians in a recording of viola da gamba pieces with and without accompaniment by Johannes Schenck (c1656-c1712).

"CPO is always willing to take a chance on a rare composer, and this gamble hits the jackpot. This is among the most brilliant, sophisticated music to come out of the Baroque, and Schenck's mastery of the possibilities of the viola da gamba surely rivals Saint-Colombe and Marais. Lorenz Duftschmid is a marvelous musician, and he plays this music at the highest imaginable level (10/10)." (David Preiser - classicstoday.com)

The works on this recording:

1. Suite in G major for Viola da Gamba: Chaconne from Scherzi Musicali, Op. 6
2. Suite No. 6 in G minor for 2 Viola da Gambas from The Nymphs of the Rhine, Op. 8
3. Sonata No. 1 in D major for Viola da Gamba from L'echo du Danube, Op. 9
4. Partita in D minor for Viola da Gamba (1705) from a Vienna manuscript
5. Solo in A minor for Viola da Gamba (1705) from a Vienna manuscript

A Spectrum of Romance in American Musical Composition.......2006-01-15

Often American music is thought to be jaunty, combative, or tragic in content, especially when it comes to songs/lieder for the classical repertoire. This engaging CD takes umbrage with that misconception and in presenting some twenty-eight songs by various composers clearly identifies the romantic side of American composers.

Here are songs well known and not so well known by familiar and not so familiar composers, and in the hands of tenor Robert White and pianist Samuel Sanders they all come across as important. Included are rarities by composers such as Amy Beach, Theodor Chanler, Isabelle Firestone, Eric Ewazen, Albert Hay Malotte, Marc Marder, John Musto and Richard Hageman, with popular composers Rudolf Friml and Sigmund Romberg, along with the greats: Ives, Schuman, Hindemith, Barber, Thomson, Korngold, Copland. Rorem, Bolcom, Corigliano, and Griffes. It is a huge spectrum of work and while some are less successful than other, they all are given respectful and loving renditions by White and Sanders. It is great fun to hear Firestone's famous 'If I could tell you' that opened the Voice of Firestone for so many years along side Samuel Barber's gorgeous 'Sure on this shining night' and Aaron Copland's settings of Emily Dickinson's poems.

This a rare treat for connoisseurs of lieder and for lovers of beautiful songs. Recommended. Grady Harp, January 06

a rare gem of a CD.......2002-07-08

Sure On This Shining Night is not my usual musical cup of tea...yet, it has become one of my favorite CDs. This collection of American Romantic songs has burrowed its way into my heart.

There is a universality to the longing involved in Romanticism. These songs capture this feeling perfectly. From the first song to the last, these songs do one thing perfectly: evoke an emotional response.

This is due in no short measure to the wonderful performance Robert White gives. Rather than being merely technically accurate, White actually gives each of these songs a life of their own. He achieves this effect by getting inside not only the words, but the feelings involved.

Some of the highlights for me are: the lovely and memorable "Rose Marie," Ewazen's setting of Blake's "The Tiger," a moving version of "The Lord's Prayer" and the haunting "Never More Will the Wind."

Samuel Sanders is a worthy musical companion to White. His playing is reciprocally lovely and introspective. The notes are extensive and informative as well.

Even though it may be an acquired taste in our postmodern age, I give Sure On This Shining Night my full recommendation.

80's moog music.......2007-06-27

If you are into 80's music that's heavy on the moog and the synthesizer then this cd is for you. It's like a not so dark Gary Numan, but with a real nice groove. So pop the cd in your Camaro and comb your mullet and enjoy the jams.

get this collection of 12" versions before it's out of print!!!.......2005-08-21

This excellent collection gathers songs not only from the US CD "Love an Adventure", but the even more new wave sounding songs from the groups 1984 debut LP. Note that a couple of songs from that first LP were eventually redone for the "Love an Adventure" US release, so some of the 12" versions on here are actually DIFFERENT 12" mixes than the US 12" versions--namely "a Beat for You" and "Listening". Just wish they would release the entire first album on CD. Track times:

1. listening (5:35)
2. a beat for you (7:26)
3. stranger in me (6:04)
4. Don't Go (6:40)
5. Love an Adventure (6:21)
6. Living in a Dream (5:39)
7. Destination Unknown (5:48)
8. Funky Town (6:35)

WHO HAS 'LOVE AN ADVENTURE??'.......2002-03-05

This is simply an amazing album! I had the cassette when I was in junior high. It is awesome music, simply put. If you have it, please let me know where you got it. These guys should have been a whole lot bigger than they were. I'll pay top dollar for the CD!

80's At It's Best.......2001-04-21

Let me admit that I had never heard that much of these guys even though I claim to be a big fan of the 80's new wave bands. I originally investigated this album because I had heard several of the songs on the soundtrack to North Shore (a very entertaining surf movie). When I realized that three of the songs that I heard and liked in the movie were from Pseudo Echo, I bought the album. This album is very entertaining if not for its originality, at least for its execution of classic 80s synth new wave. There are times when this band sounds like OMD, Depeche, Oingo and a myriad of other bands from that time (there is a classic OMD 'loop' moment on one of the songs - if you buy the CD you'll know when you hear it). I won't argue who was the original in this situation, but I will tell you that this album is as entertaining and listenable as one from any of the other bands I previously mentioned and is well worth a purchase if you're looking to get turned on to 'new' music that is close to 20 years old. A must for any fan of 80s new wave.
