About the Artist
Singer Shoshana Shay was born and raised in eastern Pennsylvania, continuing on to graduate from Bryn Mawr College. She performs widely both in the U.S.A. and abroad, and in 1992 presented concerts in Guangxi Province, China, as the first Western performer in the region. In January 1996 she was invited to Scotland to sing at the opening commemorations of the bicentenary year of Burns' death. As an opera singer, her roles include Tosca, Aida, Butterfly, and Musetta, while she maintains an active schedule of song recitals, including eclectic presentations of music by women composers through the ages and by contemporary composers and songwriters.

Composer-pianist John Davison, born in 1930, grew up in upper New York state and in New York City. He studied music at the Juilliard Lower School, Haverford College, Harvard, and Eastman, where he received his doctorate. Since 1959 he has taught at Haverford College. Davison has received a number of prizes and fellowships, and his music is published, recorded and has been played widely in the U.S.A. as well as in Europe and Asia. Among the orchestras performing his music have been the Eastman-Rochester Orchestra, Concerto Soloists of Philadelphia, and the Minnesota Orchestra. With John Ashmead, Davison co-authored the book Songs of Robert Burns, with new harmonizations of the folk tunes that Burns originally used.

Robert Burns (1759-1796) is known as the national bard of Scotland. He wrote more than half of his over 600 poems to traditional Scottish tunes. Since 1988, Shoshana Shay and John Davison have been bringing the songs of Robert Burns to life in programs in the U.S.A. and Scotland. Their previous release was the 1991 Love Songs of Robert Burns on video and CD/cassette and seen on PBS in 1992. BAND_MEMBERS: Shoshana Shay John Davison

Album Description

Product Description

WHISKY SUPPER, is our fifth CD, “ALMOST LIVE” the companion to BANGER FOR BREAKFAST. We have found that our live recordings seem to really capture who we are, musically and dynamically. On this recording, we had Tyler Spencer re-record the didgeridoo parts - hence ALMOST LIVE. We are an interactive band; we try to engage with our audiences so an instrument or two might get quieter or louder at some points. Don't worry, one or another of us is probably playing on someone's table or having a quick 'beverage' in the middle of a set. While you may hear the odd slip here or there, with this recording you'll feel the energy of our live show! Slainte

5 out of 5 stars Monterey Games.......2007-05-15

I first saw the Wicked Tinkers with my family at the August 2002 Monterey Games and greatly enjoyed the band. They are fabulous live. I have since bought everything that they have released. To this day my kids still ask for bagpipe music and dance about the house to it. This CD does a fair job of capturing the feel of their concert. It needs to be played LOUD (name of one of their other CDs) though to get a true feel. It is one of the best live CDs I have.

5 out of 5 stars eclectic celtic cavalcade.......2006-03-13

This CD is a great companion to the Banger For Breakfast CD, as both have very similar settings, i.e. live in front of fans in a tight atmosphere. For any fans of Irish or Scottish traditional music, this is a must have. But better yet, it's updated with what initially seems like odd pairings of instruments, like the bagpipes and the didgeridoo. Once you listen to how well those sounds plus snares, etc. meld into a wonderful set of tunes, however, you will look at Celtic music in an entirely different way. Plus, the band inserts humor and jokes, sometimes at their own expense, that gives their performances a funny and relaxed feeling. Each song is uniquely rendered but still has that familiarity that makes this genre of music so appealing. You simply can't go wrong with this one, from the nearly dirty poem to a new style Radar Love, and will quickly become a huge fan of the Tinkers. At nearly one hour in length, it will leave you wanting more. Thankfully, they have plenty more available!

    This CD, like the first in the series (Volume 1) provides expert performances of some of Sousa's famous, and not so famous, compositions. It is great fun to hear the suites and other "non-march" numbers. All of these, as well as the marches, are well performed and recorded, and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended for those interested in classic concert band music!

    IF you like Celtic music, you'll enjoy this. It's not spectacular, but it's definitely soothing and well-done. The Thistle & Shamrock is an excellent radio show, and this is a good collection of songs that have been featured on it.

    Album Description

    This album features 16th-century English (Tudor) and 18th-century Scottish material - carols, court dances, songs, instrumentals, children's singing games, Scottish airs and pipe tunes. The latest Revel's CD was made especially for the holidays, with music taken from two separate Christmas Revels holiday stage productions, including popular songs, carols, and rarely recorded material.

    4 out of 5 stars Renaissance English and Scottish music.......2007-01-20

    This recording is just what I would expect, particularly after looking at the list of material. I'm not sure what the previous reviewer was expecting, but I cannot reconcile the description of somber with the music on this disc. I love the Revels recordings, even with their flaws - the singing can be uneven at times - because it puts me in the mindset of being at a celebration in someone's home, with all present participating. There are sprightly tunes and songs of reflection appropriate to the ending of the year. There are kids' songs and traditional tunes not related to the holidays in and amongst the other material. You'd hear this kind of range at a ceilidh, where those present take turns doing their favorite party pieces.

    1 out of 5 stars A most sombre selection, not for a joyous Christmas.......2007-01-15

    This was one collection of low key, sombre, depressing music. Don't know at all where the word "Revels" comes in, there is nothing remotely like a Revel here. Great if you want to tone down your Holidays though. Wish I never bought it!

    5 out of 5 stars Zemlinsky Lifts His Voice.......2001-01-06

    Alexander von Zemlinsky (1871-1942 - he dropped the "von" after Austria became a republic in 1919) composed in all genres from string quartet to opera. James Conlon, an American active in Europe, has taken up Zemlinsky's cause in the manner of a true champion and, with the cooperation of EMI, has issued an ambitious tournée of the not-quite-forgotten composer's music. At the heart of Zemlinsky's choral-orchestral oeuvre are the three Psalms included in the program of the present disc. Zemlinsky's religious background shows many strains: Of Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim extraction, he converted to Protestantism early in the century. The Psalms (Nos. 13 [1935], 23 [1910],and 83 [1901]) belong to both the Christian and the Jewish traditions and so link those two aspects of Zemlinsky's familial milieu; they represent the early, middle, and late periods of his activity. Listeners will note how, in the sequence (83, 23, 13), Zemlinsky's "voice" becomes more distinct. Psalm 83 still works within the Brahmsian ethos and compares with works like "Das Schicksal Lied" or the individual movements of "Ein Deutsches Requiem." "Do not keep silence in this manner, and do not be still, O God, do not hold your peace," the chorus laments to a lugubrious, minor-key melody in slow march-rhythm. An instrumental fugue of grand architecture suggests the wrath of God that the Israelites wish upon their enemies. Psalm 23, "The Lord is my shepherd," requires less agitation in the setting. To highlight the pastoral imagery of the verses, Zemlinsky uses Rimsky-Korsakovian "magical instrumentation" - harp, celesta, glockenspiel, and percussion. The opening oboe-solo looks back to the "Scène aux champs" of the "Symphonie fantastique." The accesion to power of the Nazis forced Zemlinsky from Germany in 1933. Psalm 13, "How long will you forget me," gives expression to the composer's sense of insecurity in Vienna, from which he would have to flee in 1938. Like Psalm 83, this one is intensely polyphonic, with two extended fugues; a sustained chromaticism inveigles the music, giving it a deliberately strained quality. The orchestral colors show more harshly than before. The cantata "Frühlingbegräbnis" sets Paul Heyse's symbolist allegory about "The Death of Spring." Not as impressive as the three Psalms, it nevertheless affords twenty-four minutes of listenable, late-Romantic fare. Oddly, the same performance appears on another of Conlon's Zemlinsky CDs for EMI, along with the "Cymbeline" Suite and "Tanzpoem." Like Mahler, Zemlinsky proclaimed that his time would come. He joins in the wider resurrection of late-Romanticism and forms ranks with Schreker, Korngold, Pfitzner, and Schmidt in enjoying new-found and well-deserved notice on disc. Those interested in this CD should also explore the just-released companion-disc of Zemlinsky's song with orchestra.

      This CD is beautiful! 'She Dances' is my favorite song on the whole disk, but the whole thing is really good. Can't wait to see him and the Wicked Tinkers next year at the Highland Games in Wa!

      Fab sound and amazing overall!

      Thanks, Jay for bringing this out!

      4 out of 5 stars Jay Atwood and the Wicked Tinkers.......2006-08-02

      Now that he is part of the Wicked Tinkers, their sound has changed a little to reflect his style. I look forward to hearing more of his stylings. Jay Atwood is a great musician and a fun person to watch live.

      5 out of 5 stars Watch this man!.......2006-07-07

      I have been following Jay Atwood's music for some time and was delighted to see him issue Bonfire Dreaming. If you have ever spent hours around a huge bonfire, and tranced and moved and sought visions, this CD evokes those feelings and moods. Mixing rhythms and sounds from varied cultures, Jay paints impressionist paintings of mystic worlds. Highly recommended.

      the year 2000 was one of the worst years for gangsta rap, but thug thizzle was one of the only few cds that seemed to shine, by far "mob muzik" and "rap star f. Agerman" are the best of the cd. Mr Mafioso is and always will be on top
