Following hot on the heels of their enormously successful collaboration for The Lion King, Elton John and Tim Rice have once again culled their talents to create another Disney contemporary musical, based this time on Verdi's opera Aida. The album, recorded by some of the biggest talents of pop, country, and R&B, features songs from the stage show, which recounts the well-known tale of a love triangle further complicated by slavery, royalty, and the armed forces. John duets to great effect with country crooner LeAnn Rimes, the enchanting Janet Jackson, and the lovely Lulu of To Sir with Love fame. Lush and lively, the soundtrack hits a hoot of a (decidedly not highbrow) high point with the infectious pop of the Spice Girls warbling the merits of undergarments on "My Strongest Suit" ("Always wear underwear/Anytime, anywhere"). Lenny Kravitz funks things up with "Like Father Like Son." Shania Twain's husky emoting makes a fine pop ballad of the brief "Amneris' Letter." "Not Me" chronicles the goodness of love as Boyz II Men coo dreamily, their harmonies nestling into John's sumptuous score. --Paige La GroneCustomer Reviews:
I would order from you again........2007-01-27
Loved it!!!.......2006-09-07
3) It's Elton John
2) I loved all but two of the songs!
1) I usually hate the original broadway cast albums and movie soundtracks. They don't do the songs justice. They usually have chopped up versions of the songs and include unnecessary dialouge.
I'd love to see every musical (broadway or movie) done this way!
I appreciate the b'way versions, but I don't want to listen to them in my car...
good variety and feeling.......2004-06-24
Sour Concepts.......2003-06-29
The 1999 Aida, was not a studio album from Elton, but a preview from what was happen on Broadway. The various artists record contains so many different artists in the record including Tina Turner, Boyz II Men, Dru Hill, and the upcoming Heather Headley. Before Heather made it as a singer, she made it right here in Aida, on this record. The only decent song that was a hit was Written In The Stars, which Elton performed with Leann Rimes. The song was also the last song Elton cracked Billboard's Top 40. Still, there really wasn't a lot of enjoyment within most of the record, and it fell into a sleeper. Considering that Elton is already planning on making another smash musical on Broadway, hopefully he'll do better with the concept record.
When it does come to making it on Broadway, it isn't really anything exciting, unless it truly is a smash, and Aida is a smash on Broadway, just not the record. Still, if you're a die hard fan of Aida, buy this record. Otherwise, it could be a hitless miss.
Living Elaborate Lives..........2002-11-02
Elton teams up with several lovely and talented ladies, in LeAnn Rimes, Janet Jackson, and Lulu. "Written In The Stars" could be a vocal gladiator battle, the way LeAnn and Elton sing it. Janet and Lulu prove themselves as more mellow duet partners.
Kelly Price makes "The Gods Love Nubia" her own, the song is tied up in soul with her voice being smooth as silk. The far too short "Amneris' Letter" shows off Shania Twain's voice to perfection also. Pop culture phenomenon the Spice Girls turn "My Strongest Suit" into the most obvious pop stomper of this set. Another strong point is Heather Headley's solo "Elaborate Lives". A rich ballad, Headley recently embarked on an R&B singing career with the track "He Is". The legendary Tina Turner provides a fiery perfomance, her track being the powerful "Easy As Life" with Angelique Kidjo.
Duds are also present, Sting and Dru Hill's tracks are admitted stinkers. James Taylor, Boyz II Men, Sherie Scott, and Lenny Kravitz also deliver perfomances on the album. This album is well put together, with strong tunes and a short-list of superstars presenting them. A fun buy.

Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.3; Choral Fantasy.......2007-01-12
As for Choral Fantasy, I'm more impressed with Peter Serkin's performance.
Two Flawed Masterworks.......2006-05-23
Rudolf Serkin (1903 -- 1991) recorded both works several times, and this recording dates from late in his career with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The performances here are virtuosic and emotional. They capture the range of contrasts -- from the flamboyant and heroic to the lyrical and reflective that Beethoven poured into his scores.
The third piano concerto probably dates from 1803 (although some scholars date it earlier). It was premiered in that year with Beethoven at the piano. In this concerto, at least in the first movement, Beethoven took as a model Mozart's C minor piano concerto, K. 491. Beethoven's opening theme in this work sounds much like the opening theme of Mozart's concerto, and there are many parallells throughout the opening movement. Beethoven both tried to emulate the K. 491 concerto and to show that he could produce a work in his own style and voice as good as or better than its model. Whether the third concerto equals Mozart's work is a debatable, probably unanswerable question. The work is rough around the edges and lacks Mozart's polish. But there is a passion and sweep to the third concerto that is Beethoven's own. As his music characteristically does, the third concerto pulls the listener and performer in, as does the music of almost no other composer, and makes them participants in the emotion of the score.
Beethoven's third concerto opens with a long, highly symphonic orchestral introduction which his great admirer, Donald Tovey, found "dangerously close to a mistake" because its structure and harmonic changes drew attention away from concerto form of the work. The movement features two contrasting themes, a short abrubt opening phrase and a lyrical second theme. When the piano at length makes its entrance in three rising scale passages, it engages in a duel with the orchestra, contrasting lyrical, reflective, and fluttering themes with the sterner, heroical cast of the first theme. The movement alternates between the virtuosic and the lyrical; and in its drive and passion, works in the end, notwithstanding its difficulties.
The second movement of this work is all Beethoven's own. It is a glowing largo in the key of E major, a highly distant key from the C minor of the opening. The key change gives the music a remote, etherial cast as the piano sings a soulful theme frequently accompanied by the cellos. Beethoven makes another startling change at the end of the movement, where the final loud chord is appropriated with a jolt to become the beginning of the rondo finale, in a lengthy rondo theme begun suddenly by the piano with a wind echo. The finale includes a lovely clarinet solo, fugal passages, and a stirring prestissimo conclusion. The third is a work of great emotional power, and I return to it frequently.
Beethoven composed and premiered his chorale fantasy in 1808 at a concert which also featured performances of his fifth and sixth symphonies and fourth piano concerto. Critics have not treated this work kindly, in that it moves in a relatively brief 20 minutes from a fantasia piano opening, through a chamber-music like section in which each voice of the orchestra is introduced in turn, through a series of variations to a close for chorus and soloist presaging the Ninth Symphony. But inspired music the choral fantasy remains with its deep slow, piano opening, and flamboyant passages for orchestra, piano, and soloist. The chorale fantasy is a thrilling, convincing work when taken seriously, and Serkin throughout his career made it his own. Listen particularly to the scalar passages with which he accompanies the chorus late in the work and to the delicate accompaniment he brings to the various wind soloists following the opening fantasy.
The third piano concerto and the choral fantasy make an excellent pair, especially when combined with the artistry of Rudolf Serkin.

A Major Document of an Incredible Oeuvre..........2007-03-12
Of over 600 songs, Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore realized over three-quarters: these are those. Gerald Moore was of course as important to this project as Fischer-Dieskau.
DGG's sound is excellent.
This set is a remarkable document of art.
