Fabulous recorded, astounding live!!.......2007-04-07

I am so happy to run across Michael Powers again. My first experience of Michael Powers was in 1992 when I visted Bleeker Steet for the first time and wandered into a bar named Terra Blues. I went in because I heard some incredible blues guitar and thought it was a rare and fabulous Hendrix performance I had never heard.

Nope, it was a man with a strat playing like I imagine angels play for God. Just a man and a guitar, and I was hearing choruses of angels.

He was playing an original titled "Graffiti" and it was played with such passion and heart that I was nailed to the floor by the intense feeling it invoked in me. It was like hearing Jimi play "Little Wing" or "Angel"; live from ten feet away.

I sat down; it was lunch time and there was no one in the bar but me and the bartender. Michael was playing for himself, full intensity and all stops pulled out. I had, and to date have never, seen such virtuoasity. Although Hendrix was, and is, my guitar hero, I missed seeing Hendrix live by a year. It wasn't just Michael's obviuos mechanical skills, the emotional content was rich and palpable. The right note at the right time for the right feeling.

When Michael finished with "Graffiti", I commented, "I bet you could tear hell out Jimi's 'Spanish Castle Magic'." And so, to my great pleasure, Michael did a set of Hendrix tunes mixed with a few originals.

I sat with my eyes closed and feet propped up on the little stage thinking to myself that this must have been what is was like to hear Hendix play at Cafe Wha?. Or even better, to hear Jimi play in his apartment whe he played for himself. It was one of the most incredible 60 minutes of my life.

One guy and one guitar.

Michael Powers channels Hendrix, but with his own original flair and style. I can say that Prodigal Son does the same thing to me now as the times I heard him play at Terra Blues. I close my eyes and imagine a small stage, a pint of guinness, and a broken heart.

I peeked every now and then to watch his fingers. As a wanna-be guitar player, I figured I would learn something. No Way! He was all over the neck. Scales, arpeggios, tripps, you name it, he did it. And all with a wonderful timing that showed Father Time was not the boss of him.

I've seen some great music in the Village: Iggy Pop, Joe Walsh, Leslie West, David Tronzo, Rick Derringer, Chris Whitley, Jill Sobule, Susan Said, Mary Me Jane, Chris Glenn, etc., but this intimate, private concet by Michael Powers stands out among these other powerful performances.

Great music, incredible talent, and raw soul. [...].

Do Yourself a Favor and Get This.......2006-10-29

Refreshing and a relief, Michael Powers does put the old clay to new uses. His originals are just that, ORIGINAL, leaning on anthem ambience. His covers don't sound like the originals, so there's a reason to listen to them. He sounds as happy to play acoustic guitar as electric, and he's receptive to all sorts of accompaniment, which is a good match for listeners' ears. He's as funky as Stax and as much fun as a rerun of the Blues Brothers movie.

It is apparent that, while absorbing the foundational songs of the blues, he formed images of the characters who'd created those songs as well. It is a wonderful thing and a sign of deserved musical stature when an artist is thorough in that way. This is a thoroughly enjoyable, must have release

Hey I found it too! I hope Mike gets a chance to read these reviews. It's been along time since I have seen him. Last time was '79 the Old Man's Bouquet always brings a tear to my eyes. Thanks for all the good times Mike. My son and his whole platoon love this cd. Thank god he doesn't take after me, so the song "Bill Is In His Grave" wouldnt apply to him. I pray for all the troops to return safely.

Sullivan Pays Homage to Mendelssohn--and Sullivan.......2004-05-21

One reviewer I've read has said of Sullivan's "The Prodigal Son" that he would rather listen to it than to Mendelssohn's "Elijah." To invoke the name of Mendelssohn is to admit the obvious: Sullivan's chief, and it seems just about only, musical debt is to the German composer who hit it big in England. In fact, "The Prodigal Son" might be what Mendelssohn would have written if he had lived another 20 years, but I doubt it. The older composer seems to have turned a creative corner in the last year or so of his life, and I think he would have taken up the gauntlet thrown by Berlioz, Liszt, and Wagner (whose music mostly appalled him) in some interesting way or other if he had lived more than his allotted 39 years. At any rate, to prefer "The Prodigal Son" to "Elijah" is kind of baffling to me. Though Sullivan proved a great tunesmith in his operettas, the tunes in his sacred music fall short of his obvious model. For example, the aria "Love not the world" falls far short of "Elijah"'s very similar "O trust in the Lord," and the recitative followed by solo and chorus that describes the prodigal's alcoholic debauches is outdone by the scene in Mendelssohn in which Jezebel confronts Elijah and calls for his death. This despite the fact that the solo Sullivan wrote for the prodigal, the most memorable music in the piece, displays some interesting chromatic turns and twists--Sullivan's concession to modernity--and has a very apropos part for the side drum. On the other hand, the orchestral music in this solo is a knockoff of the fairy music from "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It's a nice knockoff, but I'll take Mendelssohn's overture and scherzo, thanks.

And so it goes, for me at least. I've been there and heard that--and have much preferred the original.

One of Sullivan's biggest misjudgments is the long and plodding chorus "O that men would praise the Lord," capped by a lame, perfunctory fugue. There's some pretty soupy, insincere-sounding stuff in Mendelssohn's choral music, but I can't think of anything that's as lame as this chorus by Sullivan (though afterward Sullivan almost redeems himself with a lovely quartet "The Lord is nigh"). But there are no such missteps in the Boer War Te Deum. This is an altogether more deeply felt work, the product of a musician who has something to say. Written in the last months of Sullivan's life, the Te Deum was to celebrate the end of the Boer War, though that dreadful conflict dragged on longer than anyone in England imagined it would. As it turned out, the first performance took place almost two years after Sullivan's death.

The work is a brassy, big-throated affair as it should be, given the projected event for which it was written. But more significant is the air of world-weariness and resignation that Sullivan manages to weave through the work. This speaks not only to the burdens of empire that his nation was suffering toward the end of Victoria's reign, but perhaps also to the burdens of the last years of Sullivan's life, dogged as he was by sickness and professional disappointments. The most immediately apparent feature of the work, however, is the inclusion of Sullivan's own great hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers," which comes in for truly majestic treatment toward the end. Hearing it, you can't believe that God will ever let us be confounded, as the chorus demands at the end of the Te Deum. This work will move you.

Conductor Ronald Corp is a Sullivan specialist, and he builds a magnificent edifice for the Te Deum. Certainly he does as much as he can for "The Prodigal Son" and is abetted by a very able vocal quartet and a fine chorus. The sound is up to Hyperion's usual high standards. I only wish I liked "The Prodigal Son" more; maybe you'll take to it better than I do. Because of the sterling performances and the presence of the Te Deum, I give this CD four stars.

This is an excellent collection of music largely composed during Prokofiev's Paris period--the first two decades of this century--though The Stone Flower comes from the end of his career, and Kije from the exact middle. The Scythian Suite was originally conceived as a ballet in direct competition with Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, but when no production seemed imminent, the composer turned it into an orchestral piece. The biting, fiercely brilliant music of the Paris ballets has never been as popular as Prokofiev's later music, but this generous compilation allows you to hear the consistently high level of quality that he maintained over his entire career, and at a bargain price it's most welcome. --David Hurwitz

Customer Reviews:

top quality recording.......2004-10-08

All of the pieces on this CD are well played and performed, with a readily melodic quality. The Lieutenant Kije Suite and the Chout Suite especially are packed full of music which is easily listening and of a beauty which stands in stark contrast to the angry, dense and violent music which Prokofiev composed when he was younger. These CDs are a must have for any lover of Prokofiev, or classical music in general.

stunning orchestral suites, recorded from 1965 to 1974.......2002-11-22

This is a gigantic, no-frills package of first-rate Prokofiev. Originally recorded between 1965 and 1974, this Decca Double includes six works, five of them major -- Autumnal, the Scythian Suite, Chout, The Prodigal Son, Lt. Kije, and The Stone Flower. Autumnal was composed in 1910 before Prokofiev left Russia, and was influenced by Scriabin and Debussy. The Scythian Suite, Chout and The Prodigal Son were all Paris works, intended for Diaghilev's ballets. The young Prokofiev was brilliant, urbane, witty, and definitely should not have been in Stravinsky's shadow. Lt. Kije was written as a Soviet film score in the early-mid 1930s, paving the way for Prokofiev's return. Kije contains three memorable themes, which are interwoven in the last movement. Prokofiev's populist touch here at its best! The Stone Flower, a 50-minute work, was one of his last compositions, based on Urals folk songs. The Stone Flower is lushly melodic -- Prokofiev was only getting better at the time of his tragic death in 1953(in the same hour as Stalin!).

Customer Reviews:

An excellent collection of Prokofiev's major works.......2007-06-25

I was introduced to the music of Prokofiev through his symphonies, and was immediately drawn in by the beauty of his music. So I bought this box set without listening to any other of his works first.

I was not disappointed in any way. Here, collected together very nicely, are a large portion of Prokofiev's works. Many of the performances here are reissues of past recordings, mostly from the '80s and early '90s. There are many imminent performers here, such as Mstislav Rostropovich (Prokofiev was a good friend and teacher of Rostropovich, and dedicated his Cello concerto to him after hearing him play), Seiji Ozawa, Jean-Pierre Rampal, and many other excellent musicians and orchestras. Rest assured that these are some of the best performances available of the works included.

The recording quality is unquestionable. Most of the performances are digital, clean, and rich (no distorted, thin, distant, or weak recordings here!). The only disc which contains poor recordings is the Archive Recordings disc, which is understandable as the recordings are very old (including Prokofiev playing or singing some of his own works and some works by other composers).

As for range of compositions included, we have here a magnificent collection of Prokofiev's most important music (and some of his rarer pieces as well): his entire symphonies and concertos, a selection of his instrumental music (including violin, flute, cello, and piano sonatas), many of his stage works including Romeo & Juliet, Alexander Nevsky, the Prodigal Son, The Steel Step, The Love for Three Oranges, Lieutenant Kije, etc., and an entire recording of his War and Peace opera.

One inclusion that I find somewhat baffling is that of 4 different versions of Peter and the Wolf: English, German, Spanish, and French. I would have been content with just the English, but I suppose listeners from other countries can benefit from the other languages.

I really can think of no better way to start a collection of Prokofiev's music. Here you can get his major works, and for a decent price (used copies can be a very good deal). If you are interested in the music of Prokofiev, or in 20th century classical music, this set is a great way to get a thorough introduction to Prokofiev. Highly recommended!

A great gift for classical collectors.......2004-05-13

I think it's needless to say how famous are S. Prokofiev and his works. I just want to give some details about this collectible gem.

This boxset has 5 parts:

-Sonatas box: Instrumental and chamber music. 5 CDs including sonatas for violin(s), sonatas for piano, piano and cello, piano and flute. Music for childen, and a quintet (G minor)
-Concertos box: 4 CDs. Including concertos for violin(no1 and 2), for piano, symphony-concerto for cello.
-Symphonies box: 4 CDs from sym No1 to sym no7. no4: Op.47 and Op.112
-Stage works and Films scores: 6 CDs. Romeo and Juliet, Peter and the wolf, Alexander Nevsky, Scythian Suite, The Prodigal Son, Cinderella, The love for three oranges...
-War and Peace opera: 4CDs
-Bonus: Role music. Including piano pieces.

There is no question about the quality:
-Sound: 5 stars
-Performers technique: 5 stars
-Boxes and color: 5 stars
-Price: $7/CD is acceptable.

Finally, I would like to use Sviatoslav Prokofiev's words: "This Anniversary boxset is a most impressive testimony to the interest my father's music arouse among artists, orchestras and audiences alike."
