rarely heard music.......2007-01-07

Good on you Bostridge! These BRitten songs are fabulous - didn't even know that some of them even existed! JOhnson's playing makes for a perfect duo with Bostridge's intelligent interpretations of these brilliant songs.

A voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-02-07

Oh Hearken all ye true lovers of GOOD MUSIC for this album presents some of the most profoundly beautiful songs you will ever hear anywhere!!!It would be worthwhile even if you only enjoyed the first 3 songs on the disc: the 3 Realizations from Harmonia Sacra which are 'Lord! I have sinned','Hymn to God the Father' by Pelham Humfreys and 'A Hymn on Divine Music' (which is absolutely so meaningful to us who love the art of music) by William Croft all arranged by Britten for tenor and harp. And all sung by one of the most exquisitely beautiful tenor voices ever to come out of the UK; flawless diction,resonant and vibrant tone quality and highly emotional portraying every little nuance in the song.
I bought this album because the music of Britten has always intrigued me and I was not disappointed in the variety of songs included on this album. The nine Holy Sonnets of John Donne are profound religious meditations,all of which are concerned with death and repentance. The songs 'Evening','Morning', and 'Night', are taken from the incidental music for Ronald Duncan's Masque 'This Way to the Tomb'.There are songs with settings of W.H. Auden, and several other writers too numerous to mention, but suffice it to say that there is sufficient variety to keep all listeners interested throughout the disc. Some of the songs I found particularly interesting are:'The Red Cockatoo',Waley-'A Poison Tree',Blake-'Cradle Song for Eleanor',MacNeice-and 'Death be not Proud'. When you have an Ian Bostridge available there is no need to look for anyone else. He has all the vocal skills and nuances to sing each song as an island in itself; simply marvelous interpretations, and he is fortunate to have Graham Johnson to accompany him.

Good, but could be much better..........2004-11-02

While I do like some of what Bostridge does, his recorded performances to me seem to be filled more and more with musical gimmicks. His tone I find refreshing from so many English tenors who sound like they are in pain while singing, but Brostridge truly does lack a good legato line and he often uses a horrible strident quality for emphisis of text.

Peter Pears' recordings of many of these songs are still in many ways the difinitive performances, but I do like to hear other voices sing this repertoire and unfortunately very few options are out there. So, kudos to Bostridge for recording these songs, but lets not crown him THE new Britten singer of our time.

THE English Singer sings music by THE English Songwriter.......2000-02-29

This CD lets us know that not only was Britten the greatest of English composers since Purcell, but he is an absolute master at songwriting. His economic style is perfect for songs, his choice of text is truly sophisticated and his idiomatic writing for both piano and voice put the listener always on the edge of his or her seat. Bostridge's light but powerful voice suits these songs perfectly. And Graham Johnson's piano playing is unsurpassable. One of my favorite CDs!

Iam sorry to say , but I can't rate this CD. I have never got the CD that was ordered. So could you email me some kind of reason as to why I was still charged for it?

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER "UNCLE JAMS ARMY"?.......2000-03-24

If you call yourself an Egyptian Lover fan, then you better have Uncle Jams Army under your belt! This was when Greg was at his best! I remember dancing all night long at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California, along with my friend Pete, who was a friend of his. This was when partying was safe, and we closed the place DOWN!

He turned the place out! Listening to the CD don't do justice. You have to hear him LIVE! If you missed Uncle Jams Army in the 80's, then you certainly missed the real Egypt.

He's back, but is this the Egyptian Lover we all knew?.......1999-08-12

Egyptian Lover needs to go back to his roots. While it is better than "get into it", it still lacks the sounds of the Egyptian Lover I once knew and loved. Some tracks like "world of girls" and "Gotta Have Ya" are reminiscent of the sound that I am talking about, otherwise the album has a hip-hop sound rather than a techno-funk sound Egyptian Lover first made so popular. I miss this artist, it has been years since another release has come out. I wonder if he will come out with another album? If so, he needs to go back to his old style and rock the house!
