Enjoying The Pleasures of K. Battle & C. Parkening.......2007-05-06

Whether you are very familiar with these two artists or have never heard either one, you will delight in this musical collaboration. Only a guitarist of Christopher Parkening's stature could be the ideal accompaniment to the perfection of Kathleen Battle's voice. The music ranges from selections by John Dowland to American spirituals, Bach/Gounod, Villa-Lobos, Granados and some Spanish folk songs. The result is a coherent, soothing and utterly delightful listening experience. You will revisit this album often, and always be glad that you have it. For fans of Kathleen Battle and Christopher Parkening, I think it is a must.

Great blending of the talents of two top-notch artists in their respective fields. Parkening on the guitar and Battle singing........2006-01-31

We always enjoyed seeing and hearing Battle in concerts, usually on the television and Parkening has been a favorite guitarist. To listen to these two fine artists in concert is a real treat.

Superb technique, emotionally flat, but enjoyable even so........2005-05-25

I can't imagine these songs being performed with any greater technical brilliance than they are by Parkening and Battle on this CD. Both are virtuosos, him in the guitar, her the voice. Their skill is particularly apparent in the Dowland songs, the "Ave Maria", and the Bachianas brasileiras no. 5 (for me, the high point of the recording), which are all in a formal style well suited to the talents of the performers.

I compare the Brazilian songs to the version recorded by Salli Terri with Laurindo Almeida in the late '50's on "Duets with Spanish Guitar", which I have listened to repeatedly since I first heard it in 1959. Battle's phrasing, enunciation, and vocal skill are far superior to Terri's, but Terri brought a level of emotion to her singing that Battle seems to lack. Where Battle's perfection enhances her superb performances of the Dowland and Villa-Lobos pieces, it seems to detract from her performance of the Brazilian folk pieces.

I find this to be true again in the spirituals - vocal perfection and control detracting from the "soul" required to bring out the "spiritual" feeling. Imagine these same pieces sung by Mahalia Jackson or Aretha Franklin and you'll understand my point.

Parkening's performance has the same quality - technical virtuosity, especially noticeable in his lute-like technique in the Dowland solo - but lacking in emotional depth.

The classical selections are highly recommended, the folk pieces a bit disappointing, but overall an enjoyable recording.

ONE OF MY FAVOURITES.......2004-03-19

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BATTLE ALBUMS, HER SWEET VOICE IS ACCOMPAINED BY THE GUITAR VIRTUOSO CHRISTOPHER PARKENING, TOGETHER CREATE A TENDER, DELIGHTFUL & BEAUTIFUL LISTENING EXPERIENCE. BACHIANAS BRASILEIRAS N- 5 HAS IT`S BEST PERFORMANCE IN THIS CD.

Fans will be delighted!.......2003-08-25

Fans, maybe, but I must say I'm not a huge fan of Kathleen Battle or opera or songs in different languages, either. My mom is, though. And through her I have heard Kathleen's best. And her very best (if you ask me) is one of the tracks ON THIS CD titled "Ain't that good news," even though it should be called "Ain'ta dat good news," since that is how its sung. It is a really good song (ask anybody) with a little surprise high-note at the end. If I were you I would (if not buy this CD right here and now) then go to [a book store] and see if their computers will let you hear "Ain't that good news" because that song is great.

Wow! Magnificient Talent!!!.......2003-02-01

I am currently listening to this remarkable CD with that blissful madrigal talent passed down to these children.

My cat came and sat next to the speakers, which he has never done before, when the lovely voices sang so eloqenntly
and wonderously high.

I am so thankful this is available through Amazon!!!

The comeback begins..........2003-10-09

Anne's career waned a bit from 1981 to 1983, but she recovered nicely with the two albums on this CD. Anne had six consecutive singles miss the #1 spot on the country charts from March 1981 to September 1983, and the accompanying albums were some of her less distinguished recordings, in my opinion. But that all changed with "A Little Good News", when the lead single and title cut took her back to the top. As one reviewer noted, it's one of the very few political message songs that Anne recorded, and it was very well-received: she received the CMA Award for Single Of The Year for it. Strong song choices abound on "A Little Good News". I've always been fond of the second #1 from this album, "Just Another Woman In Love", and the Kenny Loggins-penned "The More We Try" is a beautiful sad song. The sound was varied slightly, and she sounded like she was having fun again. Her career reinvigorated, she then released "Heart Over Mind" in 1985 and scored yet another #1 country single with "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do". This album is poppier than some of her previous works - Anne was continuing to search for that elusive pop hit during this time. [She went full-out pop on her next album, "Something To Talk About", but still only managed a #92 pop hit with "Now And Forever (You And Me)"]. Interestingly, Whitney Houston recorded two of the same songs from "Heart Over Mind" on her debut CD that was out at the same time - "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" and "Take Good Care Of My Heart". Anne's versions are easily as good, and "Time Don't Run Out On Me" was a classic Carole King-Gerry Goffin song as well. All in all, these two albums are definite highlights of her '80s output and well-worth the purchase price.

Two interesting eighties albums.......2003-03-16

The first album of this twofer, A little good news from 1983, yielded two number one country hits. The title track was something different from Anne. I'd never heard her do anything remotely political before. What I particularly like about this song is that it highlights problems without expressing an opinion on how they might be solved, only a wish for a solution. Nobody will work out anything about Anne's political opinions from this song.

The other number one was Just another woman is love - it is the kind of song I expect from Anne, and she sings it brilliantly. There were other singles from the album, but they didn't do much, which was a pity as this is a great album full of wonderful songs.

The second album, Heart over mind from 1984, makes a more conscious effort to win over pop fans, but ultimately it is still Anne's singing that counts. The two big hits here were Time don't run out on me and a duet with Dave Loggins, Nobody loves me like you do. Of the other songs, I first heard Our love on an album by Elkie Brooks, but I have no idea who recorded the song first. It is the last track and as such it makes a great way to end another excellent twofer in this long series.

Negro Spirituals from a Soprano, Jeanette Thompson.......2006-02-09

I realy enjoyed this cd. It kinda took me back in the day. Although, I wasnt born during the time of the Negro Spirtituals, my spirit naturally gravitates to the calls of my ancestors. Jeanette Thompson brings a strong energy to the songs on the cd. If you like the Negro Spirituals from back in the day, you will enjoy this cd. If you like the sound of a Soprano, that will be a bonus. Sit back, relax and let your Soul remind you of just how far we have come, since the enslavement of a Afrikan people. Our Faith Is Unshakeable!!!We Are Here To Stay!!
