Amazon.com

The composers Antonín Dvorák, Leos Janácek, and Bohuslav Martinu might not be the names that first spring to mind when love songs are mentioned, yet this fascinating collection gives us a taste of what delights we have been missing. They range from seven Moravian folk songs, collected by Janácek at the turn of the century, to songs written by Martinu in the U.S. in 1942. There's also early Martinu--including songs he collected in Slovakia in 1920--plus the world-premiere recording of Songs for a Friend of My Country, a cycle he wrote in France in 1940 on his way to America. All of these songs are of interest in giving us another aspect of each composer's work; most have much more to offer. Many are achingly lovely, especially those by Dvorák--including his Op. 2, a reworking of four songs from a cycle he had written almost 20 years earlier, and Love Songs, a revision of eight songs from the same cycle. "Good night, my darling," from his 1886 cycle In Folk Tone, is worth the price of this CD alone. Czech mezzo Magdalena Kozená, who put together the program, sings with pure, attractive tone. Graham Johnson is her excellent accompanist. --Richard Fawkes

5 out of 5 stars On the Subject of Intelligent and Sensitive Recitals.......2005-05-19

Combing the recorded literature to find CDs that showcase singers who not only own brilliant vocal gifts but who also possess the intelligence to program recordings of lesser known works in a sequence that makes for intelligent recitals, it is becoming more obvious that there are many singers who opt for purity of purpose rather than 'salesmanship' of careers in the PR arena. Magdalena Kozená is one of these gifted singers whose intelligence and sensitivity match her physical and vocal beauty.

LOVE SONGS is a tastefully selected panorama of lesser-known songs by Kozená's fellow countrymen (Czech) Antonín Dvorák, Leos Janácek, and Bohuslav Martinu. And while many of the Dvorák and Janácek songs have been occasionally heard in recitals, the Martinu "Songs for a Friend of My Country", an exquisitely beautiful work written in 1940, here receives its World Premiere recording. Kozená's voice is in prime condition for these songs and she is ably accompanied by pianist Graham Johnson. The special flavor of these Slavic emotions and songs has rarely been so well captured.

But over and above the beauty of Kozená's performance of these neglected masterpieces shines the glow of her sensitive programming. Recordings such as these are rare and should be included in the libraries of those who appreciate the lieder genre. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, May 05

5 out of 5 stars Lovely.......2004-03-25

This is a beautifully performed selection of Czech lieder. Kozena has a lovely voice and sings with precision and nicely modulated emotion. The accompanying pianist, Graham Johnston, is excellent. Despite the title, not all these songs are love or romantic songs but all are well worth hearing. The selection of songs is excellent. Different listeners will prefer different songs. For me, the highlight of this recording are the rarely heard Martinu songs, many of which exhibit the lyrical aspect of his compositional style. Recommended strongly.

5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Disc.......2002-01-06

This is simply a magnificent recording. I like it better every time I put it on. The voice is fresh, supple, and expressive. I even find myself trying to learn some of the Czech words (from the translation in the booklet) they sound so nice. Both Kozena and the brilliant piano contributions by Graham Johnson are faithfully caught on the recording. There is enough variety and contrast that one doesn't tire in the least (over the generous 67 minutes of playing time) of hearing these playful, sometimes poignant, songs. One of the best discs, in terms of programming, performance, and sound quality, of the past couple of years.

5 out of 5 stars A stunning burst onto the world stage.......2001-12-17

Magdalena Kozena is suddenly known around the world, thanks to this stunning disc of 42 lieder from her Czech homeland. Most of the songs are short - some come in under a minute, the longest 3-4 minutes. Each is a little gem and many have never been recorded before.

Kozena's voice is sheer delight. She does have resonances in her voice which are reminiscent of her compatriot, Lucia Popp, but is certainly a mezzo - although she has chosen her repertoire well so we hear no strain at the top. Her low resonances are delightful and consistent with her head voice. To compare Kozena's voice to that of the late diva (Popp), it is more pure, more consistent in tone from top to bottom, and doesn't have so much of the `squeezey' quality which Popp used to great effect in evincing the passion of her characters. Kozena can empty her voice of vibrato or let it out rich and full, and uses all her vocal resources to great effect in contrasting the individual songs. She has astoundingly mature lieder-singer's technique for such a young singer.

This recording rightly won a Gramophone award this year. Kozena deserves all the accolades she receives for this - doubtless all listeners will develop their own favourites from these delightful miniatures.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful songs, and a singer with great potential.......2000-10-08

What a wonderful, carefully thought out CD! Kozena obviously revels in these rarely performed songs by Dvorak, Martinu, and Janacek, and Johnson accompanies with his usual ease and sensitivity. What a pity the piano is balanced distantly -- we hear little of Johnson's variety of touch and dynamics. As for Kozena, she is obviously an intelligent musician with a voice of great potential. It is qutie beautiful as it is, yet the colour is still rather pale. Yes, there is something of the late Lucia Popp's timbre, yet it has little of Popp's depth and range of colour. BBC Legends released a CD of Popp a year ago which includes three Dvorak songs also sung by Kozena. The differences are quite marked -- while Kozena's timbre and interpretation suggests a dreamy yet earnest youth, Popp brings out an autumnal glow and a sharp pain that pierces at least this listener's heart. Kozena has started a wonderful career. Only time will tell how her voice will develop. I do hope it goes in the direction of Popp's unique lyric timbre. No one could ever equal Popp (perhaps it's obvious by now that Popp is my favorite singer of all time), but perhaps Kozena will become something of Popp's heir, while still being her own person. I hope so. But her musicality is not in question. Let's keep our ears open!

    4 out of 5 stars Strong performances of unjustly neglected songs.......2001-02-25

    Kazarnovskaya's full-bodied soprano is a perfect match for these songs. Any disk full of songs risks a grinding sameness, but these artist draw out the individual character of each song. Quite satisfying, and at a bargain price. Why aren't these songs performed more often? Most American and European singers don't bother mastering the Cyrillic alphabet and sometimes perplexing diction. Add to that Cold War politics that made it acceptable to like Nutcracker but not the language of Rusky songs. It's time to put these restraints behind us and hear much more of these masterful miniatures.

            3 out of 5 stars Tchaikovsky Light..........2005-11-02

            Just like Beatle fans flocked to whatever they did, so does Tchaikovsky's. I guess I'm one of them! I've enjoyed other Peter Breiner/Takako Nishizaki efforts on Naxos, so I was compelled to purchase this disc. Tchaikovsky in his day composed over 100 little known songs based on poems about all facets of life in general. Skilfully orchestrated by maestro Breiner and solo violin(in place of vocalist)performed by Nishizaki, we get a nice symphonic light 75min. plus program.
            Sorry, nothing extraordinary here, just nice background music for whatever relaxation. "None But The Lonely Heart" based on a Goethe's song for a gypsy waif, one of the better arrangements, has been penned by Beethoven and Schubert among others. If you want to take a break from the over played ballets you will find these arrangements characteristic of Tchaikovsky; just not his greatest hits material. Spacious and warm recording!

            4 out of 5 stars Nice Transcriptions of Tchaikovsky's Songs.......2004-03-18

            Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky had to be one of the most varied composers in all of classical music. He's primarily known for his symphonic works which include his symphonies, orchestral suites, orchestral works such as "The 1812 Overture," "March Slave," and "Romeo and Juliet" to name a few. This does not include his operas such as EUGENE ONEGIN and PIQUE DAME, and majestic ballet scores such as SWAN LAKE and THE NUTCRACKER Classical music fans may be well aware of his works for larger venues, but may be less familiar with the large number of songs and pieces for piano composed by Tchaikovsky. "None But The Lonely Heart" is probably the best known of Tchaikovsky's songs and it is the title of album of Tchaikovsky's songs arranged for solo violin and orchestra called NONE BUT THE LONELY HEART.

            While most of the pieces were originally written for solo voice and piano, the arrangements of this collection seem to come alive through the artistry of violinist Takako Nishizaki and the accompaniment of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Peter Breiner. While saying a phrase like "Ms. Nishizaki makes her violin sing," may be cliché, (since these pieces were originally vocal works, it may also be a bad pun), but she does make her violin sing. The pieces have all the melodious characteristics that we associate with Tchaikovsky music, and the orchestrations have the Russian flair Tchaikovsky fans love.

            NONE BUT THE LONELY HEART has a soothing and calming effect is the perfect recording for relaxation. It is also a great collection to add variety to a classical music collection.

            2 out of 5 stars don't you think it's time to retire?.......2004-01-24

            "Takako Nishizaki is one of the most frequently recorded and among the best selling violinists of all time." That's nice. Please go home. Get some rest. I compare her string tone to scratching on blackboards. Her thin wheedling is a dreadful match for Tchaikovsky's music; perhaps better suited for an oriental concerto such as the Butterfly Lovers, but basically unpleasant for one who enjoys the robust tone of a Keylin, Barton, or Bisengaliev. Peter Breiner does his customary exemplary job of orchestrating. Tis a shame Ms. Nishizaki distracts from it.

              5 out of 5 stars Too beautiful for words.......2004-05-25

              If Julian Bream's recordings were letters, his would all be hand written rather than typed.

              5 out of 5 stars Guitar History.......2004-02-15

              Julian Bream not only plays the guitar, and the lute
              (although purists and I suspect Bream himself would say rather unconventionally), but most of all, Bream plays MUSIC. This is very, very important. There are many fine guitarists around today, but I doubt any could match Bream's sheer musicality when these recordings were made.
              This 28 CD box set is a lesson in music making, regardless of what instrument is being played. The recordings are the complete RCA Bream catalogue from 1959 to 1989. If you can find the complete box set or even any of the individual volumes, I suggest you make the purchase. (Shame on RCA and BMG for not keeping this box set and "all" the individual volumes in print.)
              Some of the higlights of Breams remarkable talent are his
              interpretations of Britten's "Nocturnal", Walton's "Five Bagatelles", the instrumental and vocal works (with tenor Peter Pears) of Dowland, the "first" complete guitar works of Villa-Lobos, a thorough history of the guitar in Spain from the Renaissance to the Present on period instruments, plus all the works that have become classical guitar standards by Bach, Sor, Giuliani, Albeniz, Rodrigo, plus the "new" standards by Brouwer, Arnold, Berkeley, Britten, Walton, etc.
              Music making of this caliber is rare indeed. Buy it if you can find it. Good Luck !

              5 out of 5 stars Best deal there is!.......2002-05-06

              If you can find this set buy it fast. There are not to many of these left out there. This has it all. Plus Julian Bream is the greatest guitarist of all time.

              5 out of 5 stars Most excellent.......2001-08-18

              This a an wonderful collection of Julian Bream. He is the master of master . I always admire his talent as a genius of this centure.

              5 out of 5 stars Julian Bream, The Genius.......1999-01-09

              Who don't want to have a wonderful classical guitar collection? Well, this pack consists in 28 CDs, more than 1.000 minutes of music, distribuited by different titles as Baroque Guitar, Spanish Guitar, etc. Some highlights are here, like Asturias, Fernando Sor variations on Mozart's Magic Flute, Paganini Grand Sonata, all Preludes and Etudes of Villa-Lobos, and, well, lots of really good things. Also, there are some cds Julian Bream plays Guitar with Orchestra, or with Harpsichords. Ah, he plays lute in some too. Unfortunately, there are 2 or 3 cds where a tenor sings and another which a woman says some poems, and those, in my opinion, are not very nice. So, it's a good collection, and if you can, buy it!!
