Big Fish Little Fish

Product Description

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"...an easygoing, feel-good collection…Guitar, banjo, strings, accordion and percussion instruments skillfully woven throughout... All ages."

Product Description:
Karl Williams' first CD for kids! Fun songs about the things kids love to do: swimming, snowboarding, or just hanging out - in a tent you've made yourself. A couple of goofy story songs, a spelling song - even a holiday song, that's not sure which holiday it's about... And the title tune with a simple message set in a catchy melody. Karl’s voice and guitar joined to some wonderful violin, a rock & roll band, a tuba, a flute, an accordion, a cello – and a bunch of sounds we bet you’ll have to listen to more than once to identify.

Big Fish Little Fish

Big Fish Little Fish,Karl Williams,Greene Street Records,"First-rate compositions," said critic Ken Tucker of Karl's first album - and they weren't even kids songs.

4 out of 5 stars Ciccolini Knows Satie.......2004-06-02

Aldo Ciccolini is arguably the greatest interpreter of Erik Satie, and he can also be credited with rescuing the minimalist from certain obscurity with the recordings he made of the composer's music in the late 1960s and early 1970s. For years I have enjoyed selections of those performances and I figured it was time to upgrade to a more complete set. As a result, I recently got this title. Unfortunately, this 5CD box set from EMI Classics collects Ciccolini's digital remakes of Satie's Piano Works, and not the original recordings of which I had grown so fond. (I have since discovered that a French Import of the complete original recordings is available.) The overall difference is minimal (yes, pun intended!) but I have to give the nod to the analog performances because of a slightly warmer, brighter sound. Also with a first time recording, there is an intangible element in the charting of new territory that I feel is never quite recaptured when revisited. With that being said, for the pieces requiring two pianists, the digital accounts are superior. While Ciccolini overdubbed himself originally, here he partners with Gabriel Tacchino to greater effect. In all, this is an excellent set by an unparalled master of Satie's music, but if I had to it over again I would have chosen the first incarnation.

            5 out of 5 stars This is not your father's compilation album..........2000-11-23

            For those of us who tend to associate the words "compilation album" with gas-station-giveaways and magazine-freebies, "Big Fish, Little Fish" is more than just a pleasant surprise - it's a stereotype-shatterer.

            This album is a collection of 16 choice tunes from the best female artists on the Chicago music scene today. I only get 1000 words to write this review, and that is just not enough for me to give each artist the attention that she deserves. The simple truth is that each song on this album is excellent, with flavors ranging from jazz to folk, pop to disco, big brass band to solo guitar. Truly, something to suit every taste.

            I'd write more, LOTS more, but it's all to the same tune: buy this album. You'll like it. I don't know how to say it more clearly than that.

            5 out of 5 stars It's Like a Chicago Lilith Fair.......2000-11-22

            Best of Chicago's female artists. Surprisingly I found this collection very entertaining.

                Five CDs collecting Erik Satie's complete piano works is an occasion to celebrate under any conditions. The set is played with a just-right balance of whimsy, drama, and starkness by Jean-Pierre Armengaud. And there's a bonus. At first glance, the 100-page accompanying booklet is nothing too special--a timeline, notes in three languages, etc. But upon looking closely, you discover that the liner notes are exceptional and fascinating, with such spare nuggets as Satie's description of himself as a phonometrographer, a composer whose "scientific thinking dominates" his creative process. Also present are Satie's own written comments on many of the recorded pieces, nuggets of wisdom and fancy that rely profusely on visual and sensory imagery, aligning the composer with not only late-19th-century French poets, but also Impressionist painters and surrealist visionaries.

                Armengaud, who's written his own book on Satie (in French), manages splendid efflorescence on the first CD (Famous Pieces) and the last (Works for Piano Duet, with Dominique Merlet), and he takes a funnily melodramatic approach to the second CD, Humorous Pieces (containing gems like "Floppy Preludes--for a Dog" and "Sketches and Irritations of a Fat Figurine"), all of which teeter and lilt with delighted looseness and retain a crisp edge. The remaining discs are Mystical Pieces and the crown jewel of the bunch, Surrealistic and Childish Pieces. Satie's ability to depict motion and space is unmatched on the latter set of works, with feints and jabs of spirited playfulness alternating with warpy, balletlike episodes that benefit deeply from Armengaud's interpretations. They're warm and crafty at once. Can Satie be taken at his word on any of his notes and descriptions of these works? Perhaps and perhaps not, as he was equal parts surrealist, childlike tinkerer, metaphysical scientist, and whimsical dramatist. --Andrew Bartlett
