New Dawn

CD-Charts > Music > Historical Periods
by: Libera

Release Date September 02, 2008
Libera continues to put out great music. Though the music is basically the same type of music as their other CD's. This CD has a slightly different feel to it in my opinion. Their music is part ethereal and part just plain fun. They sound like they enjoy singing together and being part of Libera. It would be great to be able to see them live in concert to see that joy and enthusiasm that they put into their singing on the CD's. Anyone who is a fan of boy treble singers and boy's choirs should buy this CD.

Lang Lang: Dragon Songs (Plus DVD)

CD-Charts > Music > Historical Periods
from: Deutsche Grammophon

Release Date January 09, 2007
Many claim Lang Lang to have dire interpretational problem.
What in fact is 'interpretational problem'? There is simply no standard answer, as the topic is pure subjectivity.
That said, for those (Chinese especially) who claim that Lang's "Yellow River Concerto" lacks in any thing at all, I would rebut by a direct answer - Lang's Yellow River is his OWN Yellow River; not the one in the 1970's, nor 1940's.
Lang Lang grew up under the direct influence of Chinese music - his father was member of a Chinese performing troupe and plays the Chinese instrument erhu, as many may have known already.
This album compiles many songs that Lang Lang has grown up with, and he has a very intimate and personal approach to those songs, transcribed ... Read More:

Carreras · Domingo · Pavarotti: The Three Tenors in Concert / Mehta

CD-Charts > Music > Historical Periods
from: Decca

Release Date September 05, 1990
I respectfully agree yet disagree with Ms Barbara Eisner who wrote the review of the 3 Tenors 1990 concert. She is right that Carreras was not on par with the other 2 but that is only because at this late stage in his (Carreras) career he was not in the very fine voice he once was due to overuse of his voice and his battle with leukemia, which he valiantly won!. If you could appreciate, as I do,Carreras' 1970's richly-gorgeous and velvety voice in recordings of operas such as Lucia, La Boheme, Donizetti and liter Verdi operas you would have seen his mid 70's peak voice would have been every been as excellent as Domingo and Pavarotti were in the 3 Tenors 1990 concert. In fact, I dare to say he would have blown both men out of the water..with the possible ... Read More:

Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade; Capriccio Espagnol; Russian Easter Overture

CD-Charts > Music > Historical Periods
from: EMI Classics

Release Date October 17, 1995
The classical music is, of course, 5 stars. I enjoy the Seraphim price range for educational music CDs. Seraphim never has the greatest fidelity with their CDs, however; but it is definately worth buying.

Andre Rieu - Tuscany

CD-Charts > Music > Historical Periods
starring: André Rieu, Carla Maffioletti, Carmen Monarcha

Release Date September 21, 2004
Andre Rieu in Tuscany did not move me like his amazing Wonderland production. Although the music and interpretation are always great, I feel that a CD would have sufficed.

Mozart: The Great Piano Concertos, Vol. 1

CD-Charts > Music > Historical Periods
from: Philips

Release Date April 12, 1994
Mozart is surely one of the greatest composers ever, and the performances of his works were well done. I plan to get some more of his works in the future, but I will pay more attention as to who is performing the work.

Mozart: Violin Concertos

CD-Charts > Music > Historical Periods
by: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Raymond Leppard, Sir Colin Davis, London Symphony Orchestra, New Philharmonia Orchestra, Arrigo Pelliccia, Arthur Grumiaux

Release Date August 10, 1993
This album is absolutely flooring. THIS is Mozart. Grumiaux's playing is neither cutesy and fanciful nor forced, as so many renditions of these concertos are. In fact, it falls nowhere on that spectrum at all - these recordings draw from someplace different altogether. They are organic but not harsh, intense but not overwrought, powerful but not bombastic. This music is the kind that reaches down, uncovers your soul a little, and says, "Listen." And you do - it is that instinctual.

And as someone who tends to insist on the equal merit of various interpretations of a work, I have to say that, a little to my surprise, Grumiaux has become my definitive Mozart man. His music makes me smile involuntarily because it is so full of life.
