Every last note..........2006-06-14

A super budget 5 CD collection of all of Grainger's Piano music.
Every last note!
The shipping alone would be $17.00+ for the 5 individual Cds.
Englishman Martin Jones plays these as if he wrote them. He is thoroughly inside this music.
I think his best work to date.
He is joined on CD #5 by Richard Mcmahon and Phillip Martin. Where they rollick in various combos and trios on 1, 2 and 3 pianos. This is exhilerating. Especially on an truly uplifting version of Green Bushes.
The entire set is strongly idiomatic and given a clear, crisp, warm and spacious recording. FIRST CLASS sound.
There are too many highlights to single out, but the In A Nutshell Suite and Green Bushes are especially GOOD!
There is not a bad note or "vibe" on any of these CDs.
Highly recommended for Granger fans and fans of English Piano Music.

Dublin Songs.......2001-09-04

If you love Dublin, and I do you will love this c.d. It is a copy of the record which was produced to celebrate Dublin's millenium, however it is missing one song. I have wanted to get a c.d.of this for a long time. I am very happy with it. Thank you for sending it. Charles E Mc Kenna

Dublin Anniversary Album.......2001-08-09

A very interesting collection of songs both modern and traditional from a variety of artists. The collection was to celebrate Dublin's Millenium Celebration. I've had this on tape for years and am ordering one on CD because I've worn the oxide off the little guy.

It includes a benefit "group song", Molly Malone, performed by all of the artists on the tape like a bunch of songs in the 80's.

I'd recommend it.

Infinite Felicity - Not.......2006-02-05

One of the greatest disappointments I have ever had in my life was listening to the recordings of Purcell's music that were made in the 1990s by Robert "Everything He Touches Turns To Dross" King. The physical impact of the recordings was comparable to a strand of wet spaghetti and it takes real talent in a conductor to make James Bowman sound so ordinary so much of the time. Particular scorn must be reserved for the casting of Michael George. (What is the difference between Michael George and George Michael ? Answer: George Michael has a voice that is pleasing to listen to.) Michael George has a tolerable light baritone provided the dynamic never gets above mezzo-forte and provided the coloratura never gets out of first gear. (It can be heard to good effect on Hyperion's recordings of Bruckner's and Faure's Requiems.) However, John Gosling, Purcell's miraculous basso profundo of the seventeenth century, he most emphatically is *not*. If David Thomas (the only man for the job) was unavailable then the recordings should not have been attempted.

The problem is that these dreadful recordings have Hyperion's imprimature and so this divine music will probably have to endure a purgatorial wait of at least a generation for a new complete recording.

I'm sorry to see that King has finished with Vivaldi's sacred music. This is a pity, because the amount of damage he can do in this field is limited; let's face it people, once you've got the Four Seasons and the Glorias you've got everything.

A new project for King is clearly required along the same lines. May I suggest a complete recording of the Telemann cantatas ? Then we can all sleep peacefully in our beds until the time comes to sleep peacefully in our graves.

Important Purcell Project.......2001-06-12

It was by this project that I made the acquaintance of Henry Purcell and his music. He just knocked me flat. How I love the elegance, gaiety and wistfulness (to name but a few characteristics) of his music. For this first Purcellian project (started in the mid eighties), director Robert King assembled a truly crack team of Early music soloists and musicians, he also provided extensive commentary in the booklet and wrote a biography on Purcell. This venture entailed the recording of the Complete Odes and Welcome Songs (composed for Royalty and festive occassions).

Only in the famous Hail Bright Cecilia and Come Ye sons of art away, the Choir of New College, Oxford lends it's support otherwise the soloists themselves perform the choral parts. Which certainly contributes to the intimacy of the recording. Robert King is certainly right in saying that the texts of these pieces aren't great poetry, but the music is divine (the usual flatttering of kings and nobles)! King and his team deliver an outstanding and important contribution to the Purcell discography.

My favourites among the soloists were: Gillian Fisher, James Bowman, Michael Chance, Michael George, Charles Daniels, Rogers Covey-Crump and John Mark Ainsley. Charles Daniels pulls this project indeed spendidly off with his solo Arise my muse. I loved the exquisite countertenor duets like Hail gracious Gloriana or Sound the trumpet and always Michael George's bass parts. But that's just a selection of the riches presented here. Afterwards Robert King went on to record the complete secular solo- and sacred music of Purcell.

valuable and enjoyable.......2000-01-12

This set will delight any lover of Purcell. Ideally, you will want all 8 CD's; but if you must pick and choose, get at least Vols 1, 2 & 8 (these contain, between them, Welcome to all the pleasures, Hail Bright Cecilia and Come ye sons of art). Volume 1, entitled Royal and Ceremonial Odes, was probably recorded before King knew for sure that his idea of producing the complete chamber vocal works of Purcell would be commercially viable. Hence, the separate title and no mention of the volumes still to come. But by the time the second volume was made, the future of the project was already mapped out. The purpose of the project was to record all 24 surviving odes and welcome songs of Purcell. (This project was later followed by a similar undertaking: an 11-CD set of all surviving Purcell's anthems and services - of those, get at least vols 3 & 9). By the time King was entrusted with this massive and ambitious project, he was still in his twenties. But King knew what he was doing. His assumption of the project was backed by years of research. He even prepared his own performing editions of the works he intended to record, and furnished sleeve notes for each of the CD's in his Purcell series (Later, he also wrote a book about the composer). King's notes are insightful, although his choice of vocabulary is somewhat peculiar and repetitive. The musical results are wonderful, by all accounts. I am especially pleased that King was able to assemble such an outstanding cast of singers. For me, the highlights of the series include: Arise my muse from vol 1 (an alto solo sung by Charles Daniels); Bowman's 'Tis Nature's Voice from vol 2 (although my all time favorite version of this air is on the Herreweghe); alto-high tenor duet Let Caesar and Urania live from vol 3 (you should hear Bowman and Covey-Crump blend in this one!); The sparrow and the gentle dove from vol 4 (Charles Daniels); alto-high tenor duet Sweetness of nature from vol 6 (Bowman and Padmore); an ornate tenor duet And now when the renowned Nassau from vol 7 (Daniels and Covey-Crump); and the glorious high tenor solo O how blest is the isle from vol 8 (Padmore).

Album Description

"The Independence Suite: Traditional Music from Ireland, Scotland and Cape Breton" is a gathering of some of the finest performers and instructors of traditional music today. Together, they have likely created the first ever compilation of its kind. Pipers, fiddlers, dancers, singers and more, many names you will know festivals and summer music schools worldwide. Others are treasures whose music has never been broadly available until today.

Signature performances are provided by fiddlers Tommy Peoples, Maeve Donnelly, Dublin piper Mick O'Brien with fiddler Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Kilfenora Céilí Band's Aidan McMahon and Anthony Quigney, Randal Bays with Altan guitarist Dáithí Sproule, Cape Breton fiddler Dougie MacDonald, Ireland's piano maven Geraldine Cotter, flute virtuoso Mícheál Ó hAlmhain, singer Robbie O'Connell, concertina master Gearóid Ó hAllmhuráin with fiddler Patrick Ourceau, Cape Breton pianist Barbara MacDonald Magone & master Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser, Celtic-language quartet `Navan' and finally, a rare preview recording from Connemara's beloved sean nós singer Áine Meenaghan.

Most compilations promote the work of a single label's stable of artists. Others have an impressive collection but still include tracks from commercial labels or from live performances. This is an historic collaboration rather than compilation by the individual self-produced artists themselves, teaming together to share their music from their recordings on a larger level --an enormous undertaking with 18 artists spread across the world!

The last 20 years has seen an upsurge in collaboration between Irish, Scottish and Cape Breton musicians. Until the 1980s, the genres were primarily kept separate, substantially due to lack of opportunity to meet and play together. While separation from commercial labels is a relatively new event in Irish and Scottish music, Cape Breton artists have self-produced their recordings for decades.

Over the last 10 years, traditional music fans have supported independently recorded traditional artists. With hundreds of releases annually, music fans are clamoring for a discernable way to experience the broadest range in the most affordable way possible. According to Celtic music reviewers, the majority of recordings today are self-released. Earle Hitchner's Top 3 in 2003 and overall 60% were self-issued, (up from 50% in 2002.)

Toe Tapping Music.......2006-10-27

This carries me back to Cape Breton in memory to a small community center where singers, dancers, and fiddle players performed for their friends and neighbors. As a passing tourist, I was enchanted by the distinctive sound created. I've listened to a lot of celtic music and love it dearly. Cape Breton music always makes me want to dance.
This includes a sprightly collection of Scottish and Irish tunes as well.
