Fantastic!.......2005-11-02
Mr. Van Dam is still singing well at age 65. I think he is one of the finest singers and musicians because everything he sings means something to him internally. That is something that defines a great artist for me. I highly recommend this collection because it is a tool for singers to learn how to pronounce French properly. The diction is so clear that you can practically write it down.

Great Songs Not Available Anywhere Else!!.......2006-01-28
But to comment on reviewers who received CD-Rs: Yes, unfortunately this company (HOT Productions) started to manufacture cd-rs of all their product when they were in litigation and about to go out of business. I got duped, too, on some of their issues, but got my money back from the stores who sold them. The good news is even the cd-rs are mastered from the original tapes, so the sound quality is consistent with the regular glass master factory-pressed cds.
And just to let everyone know, real CDs DO EXIST of these releases and the others, but it will be a crap-shoot to find them, as they were only done at the beginning of the pressings before the company started having financial trouble. (I happen to have many of them, including this compilation). You can tell if you get an original, because they are COLOR SILK-SCREENED, NOT plain silver cds with black printing. (those are the cd-rs) Your best bet would be to avoid any that are "sealed" and buy a used one only. That way you will know what you are getting beforehand.
Hope this helps!

Customer Reviews:
The idiosyncratic gaze! .......2006-08-17
As a matter of fact, Alfred Cortot, Dinu Lipatti, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli brought not only a refreshing vision but still better, new perspectives of interpretation, leaving behind the romanticism and approaching him under the idiosyncratic emblem of a bygone era. That's what the previous reviewers have denominated eccentric rather than interpretative renovation, where the dimension of every piece is considered in its own individuality and specific weight, where the concept of miniaturist composer has been substituted by the thinker poet, earning an organic quality and major dramatic scope.
I cannot think about another pianist who may phrase Chopin as Francois did it. So, please do me a favor and firmly decide to acquire it. You will surprise yourself!
Fascinating Chopin.......2006-02-17
The One and Only One Chopinist?.......2005-01-25
Philips, advised by Alfred Brendel among others, presented Samson Francois as one of the greatest pianists of the century. In Philips' list, we do have some extraordinary Chopinists. Fridedman's Mazurkas are said to be unsurpassble, so are Cortot's Preludes & Etudes (or all his Chopin), or Lipatti's Waltzes. Or else, Hofmann's or Rachmaninov's Chopin are just marvelous. But those are historic recordings. While some prefer Moravec or even Arrau's Nocturnes, Rubinstein's Nocturnes, and particularly his Polonaises, like Agerich's Preludes are a sensation. Cziffra's Chopin is superb, so is Freire in general. But we can't leave out Samson as a leading Chopin interpreter.
Samson was perhaps the greatest of Cortot's pupils. From his Chopin Ballades, there are all-embracing colours (by the subtlety of using the pedal among other things) creating rainbow after rainbow. The harmonic suspensions as the nub of the Ballades adds so much to the potency of music. His Nocturnes, darkening the colours in the background creating the right atmostphere together with the poignancy of his narrative power, compare favourably with Arrau's. His Preludes may not be a fiery as Agerich's, but they are more bitter, so bitter that he is a type of his own...
The Nocturnes are recorded in '66. And in any event the earliest recording in the boxset was made in '54 and the re-mastering is so good that unless you make an effort, you won't be able to tell them from modern recordings and yet they are sold at bargain price. Grap it while it is still available.
Excellent, Eccentric Chopin.......2004-01-18

Fine songs, admirable artistry, a worthy project.......2000-09-10
For confirmed Respighi fans, the course of action is simple: buy both volumes of this set and eagerly anticipate future releases. This project is a serious effort to present the composer's complete output for voice and piano. To this end Channel Classics have engaged sensitive artists and supplied helpful liner notes in Italian and English (the more complete notes are in the first volume; the second volume's notes refer to the previous volume). Texts (largely Italian, but some French) and English translations are included for all songs.
For listeners who are looking for a taste of Respighi's music and may only want to start with a single volume, the first volume is a logical choice. Not only does it contain many famous earlier songs, but "Deita Silvane" is considered by Potito Pedarra, who wrote the liner notes, to be Respighi's finest effort for voice and piano. Nevertheless, certain listeners might prefer to start with the second volume, since it contains more dramatic music (I'm thinking here of "Nebbie", with its echos of Puccini, and the recitative-like "E se un giorno tornasse"), and also because two different singers present the songs. While many reviewers collected on Channel Classic's web page speak (in Italian, English and Dutch) of the wonderful timbre of Leonardo de Lisi, I am not so taken with it personally. I cannot fault phrasing, dynamics, support, diction, or anything that would imply bad singing. He is a fine artist. But he has a slightly nasal tone, which I don't mind in the French, and French-influenced, music, but to me it sounds slightly pinched or spread in the more lyrical Italian songs. Listening to his voice for the full hour of music on this volume is less pleasant for me than listening to him alternating with soprano Andrea Catzel on the second volume, and others might appreciate the variety as well.
