Customer Reviews:

Great CD - the Demenga brothers at the top of their game.......2003-12-09

If you don't know about the music represented on this double CD, it's music commissioned as an homage for Paul Sacher, a patron of the arts from Basel, Switzerland, I think? Many top-name 20th century composers wrote for this celebration of his 70th? birthday, and I believe it was originally the idea that Rostropovich would play all this music (it's all for solo cello, except for the Boulez which is 7 cellos)...he's ended up playing some of it, I think, but not all. Most if not all of this music is based on the tone row eSACHERe (es is E-flat in German, and Re is D in solfege). Anyway, this is interesting music with a lot to offer, played superbly by Patrick and Thomas Demenga. Pick this up if you like cello and 20th century music. Maybe not the greatest thing to start with if you know nothing about 20th century music, but it's very unique stuff, and you might like it, you never know. Very highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent.......2003-04-03

Beautiful !!. A good selection of songs for all times.
Nana sings in french, italian, english, and more, some classics like "Les feuilles mortes" and some recent like "Con te partiro"
As usual, Nana Mouskouri joins the world through the music.
Impossible to lose this album.

Most spectacular French album ever produced........2002-12-06

This album is, perhaps, the best French album ever recorded in the entire history of mankind. Nana may sound great in English but her French is absolutely divine. These songs are among the most famous and most beautiful songs ever written to begin with, but Nana's beautiful, clear voice, and marvelous interpretation makes them sound 100 times better. Her command of the French language is (and has always been) spectacular. She rivals (or even outdoes) native speakers. It is absolutely flawless. One would never guess it's not her native language. Although the majority of the songs are in French, there are also 2 VERY well-known Italian songs on this CD ("Con te partiro" and "Caruso" - both of which are internationally famous). Her interpretation of them is second in quality to none. Also, the first song is sung in Greek, French, and English and is based on the choral portion of Beethoven's ninth symphony. Her rendition of "Le temps des cerises" will leave you in tears. Again, her ability to sing in French (combined with her amazingly beautiful voice and excellent production) is so incredibly excellent it boggles the mind. If you enjoy classic French and Italian songs then to not have this CD would be a sin. You will NOT be disappointed. If you do not already speak French and Italian, the power and majesty of this CD will make you want to learn them.

The Hommage Album. Nana Mouskouri........2002-04-26

This inspiring "Hommage" album, contains some of the Greatest music ever performed/written by an artist. It's quite a tough thing to play around with material written by legends like Brel, Dalla, Brassens... Nana does it with such ease... she really pours her love into every song. What you get here is a genuine, rare timeless album...
Bravo Nana...
Strictly Recommended.

Magical collection of French songs!.......2000-01-22

Some of the best French songs, sung by a beatiful, powerful voice of NANA MOUSKOURI. Absolutely magic!

Album Description

Members of the San Francisco Symphony join members of the San Francisco Opera and the American Conservatory Theater in performing a cornucopia of compositions by Ron McFarland, an Arnold Schoenberg protg who has won a well deserved reputation as one of America's greatest and most popular new composers.(See reviews).

The Trio for Harp, Flute and Viola was first heard as a Romance for Harp and Orchestra, commissioned by harpist Gillian Benet. Incorporating the original harp part, Ron McFarland wrote the new version for principal harpist Douglas Rioth, flutist Linda Lukas and violist Christina King of the San Francisco Symphony. An opening section consisting of a series of themes is followed by a central Andante. A lively Scherzo is next with good-humored bantering between the harp and the flute/viola duet. The work ends with recapitulation in varied form of the earlier material.

Four Songs in Blue were written on poems of McFarland's friend Patrick Emery Carr, whose text are heard in numerous songs by Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and others. Mr. McFarland regretted that he had not written the promised songs before Carr's untimely death. He had also promised Sara Ganz that he would have new songs for her next recital. The two promises came together in the Four Songs in Blue, written in a popular style close to the styles of the other songs using Patrick Carr's lyrics.

Sonata for Violin and Piano opens with a Largo theme for the violin, followed immediately by a strong imitation in the piano part and developed as a Prelude to an energetic Toccata. One reviewer described the second movement as "a night scene creating a spell of quiet beauty." The Tempo de giga tht follows makes considerable demands on both violinist and pianist, contrapuntal and chromatic, with, however, a sense of tonality.

Six Les Hommages Piano Preludes are taken from a larger set of 24, and pay homage to ten of McFarland's favorite 20th-century composers, and two from the 19th. He has written 24 character pieces in 24 major and minor keys from original material, using a musical characteristic or style of each composer. All 24 preludes have a thematic unity, with the exception of the Lisztian paraphrases of the love theme and finale from McFarland's opera The Dinner Party. The complete set has been recorded by pianist Elaine Lust on the Ron McFarland Chamber Works CD (Con Molto Music).

Lear and Cordelia: To open his second season as artistic director of the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, Edward Hastings commissioned McFarland to write the incidental music for King Lear. At the end of the run he asked McFarland to create a suite from the music that could be performed in concert. Hastings then had it performed on BBC's Desert Island Discs as one of the pieces of music that he would want with him as a castaway. This performance includes Peter Donat and Fredi Olster, ACT's original Lear and Cordelia, with the ACT Ensemble of wind instruments (flute, clarinet, two trumpets, two horns and trombone) harp and percussion conducted by John Johnson. The suite is built around the conversations and confrontations between King Lear and his beloved daughter Cordelia.

"King Lear, without all the words and theatrics, and in a half-hour instead of three. Perfect! Image Magazine

Pretty Good Music.......2000-09-02

There were a variety of songs on this album. I first heard many of the songs on it during a dance. Some were pretty and pleasant to listen to while others made you want to get up and dance right away. It's a good mix for dances, parties and other special occasions. I would reccommend buying this CD if you enjoy popular music or if you have an interest in the French culture. It'd even fun to listen to if you don't understand the language@ It's a worthwhile way to spend your money. You won't get tired of the CD for a very long time because there are so many cool songs. Have fun shopping!

The Dutch composer Leo Smit (1900-1943) was a Holocaust victim, not to be confused with the fine American composer-pianist Leo Smit. This set collects all the surviving music by the Dutch composer, most of which he hid away safely before being shipped with his harpist wife to an extermination camp. Smit's composing personality has a wide range, but his most characteristic style owes much to Ravel (to whom he wrote an homage) and, often, to American jazz. Smit's chamber music has clear textures, firm rhythms, and a great deal of melodic and harmonic interest; his orchestral works are brilliantly scored, usually quite concise and effective. This joint effort by a wide variety of Dutch performers is generally well performed (although in a few pieces other available Dutch recordings are even better), and the effect of hearing Smit's complete works convinces us that a worthwhile voice was silenced in its prime. Donemus's booklet, in Dutch and English, is extremely useful. But the fold-out package format is very inconvenient and may not hold up to repeated use. --Leslie Gerber
