Dangerous Things

Product Description
The pieces here span the length of the 20th century, from 1914 to 1999, and represent the devlopment of the kebyar ('bursting') style, which continues to dominate Balinese culture. Four of the pieces--Panyembrana, Panji Semirang, Taruna Jaya, and Tambulilingan--are dance works, while Kumuda Sari and A Dangerous Thing were both composed for Galak Tika by resident composers.

Perfect

I found this CD in chicago, where this brit now lives, and the tunes and themes are such a retrieval cue for sunday afternoons watching these old stiff upper lip black and white movies on tv. Just what I needed, although the addition of 4 weddings is slightly odd. Good quality recordings...:-)

Album Description

25 years after this show debuted on Broadway, the two original stars - Richard Kiley (Man of La Mancha) and Leslie Uggams (Hallelujah, Baby) - join a talented cast of newcomers to record the score! The album also restores the original orchestrations - long thought lost - and recreates the thrilling sound of Broadway shows in the 1960s.

Also featured are Broadway stars Priscilla Lopez (A Chorus Line), Ron Raines (Days of Our Lives) and Brenda Silas-Moore (Freeway Dreams), among others.

Take a chance on this incredible score!.......2004-07-22

I'm glad I did, as it definitely now resides in my top ten favorite Broadway scores. It's an extremely variable score, from wildly comic to powerfully beautiful, and that may have affected the show's run, but it works great on your CD player.
Don't be afraid to change the order of the songs either. I start off with 2,3, then 1, etc. In fact, the only song I didn't end up liking on the entire CD was "Many Young Men From Now".
When I read a review by someone, I'm always curious about other shows they've liked, or didn't like, to see how similar (or dissimilar!) our tastes are. Some scores I've enjoyed include: House of Flowers, Grass Harp, Saratoga, Camelot, Purlie, Dear World, Mata Hari, The Life, Avenue Q and Wicked.
Some I didn't like include Bajour, Subways Are For Sleeping, The Seussical, St. Louie Woman, Applause, Urinetown, Greenwillow, Big River, Sweet Charity and The Golden Apple.

Failed Broadway musical revived 25 years later........1999-06-05

This is a true oddity. HER FIRST ROMAN with book, music and lyrics by Ervin Drake is a show with some promise. The rhyming in some of the lyrics is clever, the premise of adapting Shaw's CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA to the musical stage a beguiling one. But this is amateurish from beginning to end. Not able to make up its mind whether it is drama, comedy or low comedy, it is none of these. Uggams is woefully miscast but Kiley does a wonderful job as Caesar. There are only two songs of merit - MANY YOUNG MEN FROM NOW (which should be in every gay cabaret singer's repertoire) and the rollicking I FELL IN WITH EVIL COMPANIONS. The rest range from mediocre to downright boring. Amazing that the original cast members and the producers liked it well enough to mount a cast album 25 years after the closing. Valuable to Broadway composers/lyricists in showing how NOT to write a show. This would have been ideal material for Lerner and Loewe, but sadly not for Mr. Drake.

Gershwin filtered through a modern master.......2004-01-08

Michael Finnissy is finally getting his due, and this recording is one of a number of excellent recent ones that show him at his quirky best. Finnissy has completely rethought these old standards, going much further than simply taking the melodies and inserting new chords underneath them. Some freedom with the rhythms echo some of the grand old piano transcriptions from the past -- an interesting reference and high praise. And the textures here are crucial: all of the piano lines are important, from top to bottom, and Ian Pace's intelligent renderings make all of this audible.

I hope this disc, as well as Pace's other Finnissy recordings, will push the composer's profile even higher. Many of these would make clever encores in the right context. (And I look forward to those recitals!) Some listeners may find it difficult to absorb too much of this recording at once, since it's all quite concentrated. Three or four of these arrangements at one time might be recommended for newcomers. Nevertheless, this is an outstanding example of Finnissy's creative mind coupled with Pace's exemplary artistry.

Sound quality by Metier is excellent, with Finnissy's complexity put forth with wonderful clarity. A witty, enlightening and very persuasive disc.

not the Finnissy I know.......2000-04-13

Ian Pace is a marvelous pianist of the new or old complexity. He has the entire repertoire of the new under his fingers and mind. He can a be a bit passive however in the live performances I've heard in Chicago in particular. Well he is new to the scene. Finnissy on the the other hand has been making constructing,concocting and mesmerizing those who follow this music for quite some time. Like preaching to the already converted. His music taps nicely into post-modernist thinking, the mileau of utilizing borrowed found objects,already in the world- material but transformed and transmogrified in such a way that the metamorphosis becomes something quite relevant,brilliant and unexpected from the materials given, much like Kafka's insect. Finnissy's piano music is quite literally impossible to play, I don't know who can play it including everyone here mentioned. When for instance you have 72 tones against 57, resulting in an asymmetrical odd bit of musical irrationality(at least within the Western canon)who can do that? . The computer I'm on now the Finale software can play that without a flinch. Gershwin here is not transformed interestingly enough, at least from the perspective of Finnissy's other master piano concoctions like the Verdi Transcriptions or the English Country Tunes. Both those works made the materials sink and respond opaquely,virtuositically becoming part of the blizzards of tones, and filigreed moments scouring and traversing the entire register of the piano. The Gershwin here by contrast seems like a tired pianist sitting in a lounge trying to recapture an old dust-ladened flame, Casablanca? .

Immediately Attractive And All But Unknown.......2000-11-02

One of the college courses that I have frequently taught bears the catalogue-title "The Literary Dimensions of Film." I like to think of it more broadly as an introduction to the artistic dimensions of film, and I put considerable emphasis on the musical aspect of cinema. Once, after a lecture, with musical illustrations, on the development of the concept of the film-score, a student challenged me to name the single most important film-score. Without hesitation I said: "Sir Arthur Bliss's score to the Wells-Korda film `Things to Come.'" I had scheduled "Things to Come" and after the students had watched it, I went back and explained in as much detail as I could muster (with the help of a number of CDs and a boom-box) just how brilliantly this score shone all by itself and just how much it added to the film. The discussion of film-music usually centers on the Austro-German expatriates in Hollywood, but this is to forget the Russians and the British, who arrived independently of Hollywood at their own distinct notions of musical accompaniment for cinematic action. (This was in the mid-1930s.) The full extent of Bliss's remarkable score has never really been documented on a recording; I know of no recorded appearance, for example, of the remarkable machine-ballet that accompanies the visual sequence called "The Building of a New World." The most complete suite is on a John Mauceri CD of film-music for sci-fi flicks, and this is marred by extraneous sonic "special effects." The salient attraction, then, of this new issue from Pearl, "British Film Music, Volume II," is the inclusion of nearly ten minutes of Bliss's "Things to Come" score that have never been heard before. Most significantly, we hear the extended version of the "Epilogue," a glorious Elgarian study which adds a chorus in the last eight bars. This CD gives us, in addition to the Bliss score, Sir Arnold Bax's stirring music for a wartime documentary about British resistance to fierce German air-raids on Valetta harbor in Malta; a couple of main-titles from Vaughan Williams; and excerpts from other wartime motion pictures by unfamiliar, but thoroughly competent, studio-composers. Muir Mathieson conducts in many of these. He seems to have been an early "expert" in the art of recording the film's musical track. In all, a fascinating and welcome release.

This is a mix of original and traditional songs. If you like live blues rock you will love this. George does an especially great job on Hey Miss Bessie and Ragtop Cadillac and you really need to check out the Reggae version of Johnny B. Goode. This CD is well worth a listen.
