Mozart: The Marriage of Figaro

Search: True Lovers
from: Chandos

Release Date September 21, 2004
This seems to be one f the better installments in the Chandos series of classic operas in English. Frankly, it's a retrograde project, given that it took decades to convince the English to hear operas in their original language. But Figaro is full of wit, so an excellent English translation could be fun. Here, it's mostly not. The translation is fairly literal and clunky, showing no attempt to exhibit native English wit.

The performance is a warm, traditional one, which is refreshing. The characters sing with British accents, and that's damaging to the Latin flavor so essential to the household setup and class divisions. All the singers are pleasant without being first rate; they tend to be too polite iwth both the comedy and mock ... Read More:

Save Everything

Search: True Lovers
by: Shipping News

Release Date September 23, 1997
Just buy this, or go and steal it online, or borrow your friend's CD and make a copy. This album is today, perhaps, only slightly less groundbreaking than it was in the mid 90's when it was first released and still every bit as enjoyable. Analog-NPRish (they came together working on a soundtrack for NPR, actually) tape-sound, indie-math-rock that is more accomplished than most of these musicians other projects.

Volume 2: 1935-1941

Search: True Lovers
by: The Carter Family

Release Date April 08, 2003
Ralph Peer arrived in Bristol, Tennessee in August of 1927. He recognized that the "hillbilly" music of the rural South had commercial potential and was looking to sign some acts. Of the regional musicians that played for Peer the most impressive were Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. Rodgers went on to become country music's first big star while the Carter Family became country's first popular group as well as one of its most important and influential.

This CD collection includes over 125 songs recorded in the latter half of the Carter Family's career. Some are gospel songs while others tell wondrous stories of rambling boys, lovestruck girls, green mountain tops and wildwood flowers. So many of these beautiful and timeless songs move ... Read More:
