More than Victorian sentimentality.......2006-08-30

It hasn't stood Tosti well that he was a favorite of Queen victoria's, or that his songs were a staple in parlors with potted palms. Ben Heppner here leads a one-man Tosti revival, accompanied by a salon ensemble that perfectly suits the sweet sentimentality of the songs. The singer clearly loves the music--he toured with this group and often adds Tosti to his encores. With his gleaming voice, Heppner lifts the gorgeous melodic lines into a higher realm. "Ideale" is the most famous and perhaps the greatest of Toosti's tunes, but there are a handful on that plane, and the rest bring nostalgic delight.

Full of atmosphere and taste........2005-01-12

Ben Heppner is a tenor of considerable ability, and he shows here that he is not simply a bang-up HeldenTenor. Several Tosti songs have of course been perennial favorites of tenors for generations, and a few of these are included here. His singing of A'Vucchella is very affecting, the tempo exactly what the tenderness of the text calls for. In whatever he sings, Mr. Heppner maintains a legato that sense of phrasing that is beautiful. I concur with a previous reviewer, that I would love to hear him do more of Tosti's songs; Luna d'Estate, Marechiare, etc. are simply great songs and I would be eager to hear Mr. Heppner apply his talents to these.
The chamber orchestra arrangements I found to be quite effective. It gives the entire disc a certain ambience of 'la belle epoque' that is wholly suited to the music. Very enjoyable disc indeed.

Ben Heppner Sings Paolo Tosti.......2004-08-19

Anybody who records Tosti songs today faces formidable competition from 100 years of recordings.Battistini, Caruso, Ponselle, Bjoerling, and Pavarotti---to name some Tosti interpreters I'm familiar with---set high standards in this material. In this august company Mr. Heppner fares very well indeed. His " A Vucchella" may be a bit slower than Ponselle's, and his "Ideale" slower than Bjoerling's, but Mr. Heppner finds in this salon music just about everything there is to find. His half-voice pp octave leap at the end of "Ideale" is thrilling and perfectly matched to the music. On this CD, Mr. Heppner exercises more than one ascending diminuendo in full voice without resorting to falsetto, and this alone justifies having this disc.He gets to the heart of this material without once lapsing into operatic overemoting or sentimentality. If he is more successful with the songs set to Italian texts than he is with the English- and French-language songs, that's very probably because Tosti himself seems to have been more successful in setting Italian words. And one has to be patient in listening to some of this material---particularly the English-language songs---especially if this CD is serving as one's introduction to the 19th-century salon style. We're not used to the salon style any more than we are with the silent-film style. We've grown up with different genres. On the other hand, Mr. Heppner's readings of the great songs "Non t'amo piu" and "Ideale" need no introduction and serve to demonstrate how good Tosti really is at his best. I hope Mr. Heppner makes another Tosti CD and includes "Serenata", "Luna d'Estate", "Marechiare", and the fourth of the set of four songs this composer set to Italian texts by Gabriele d'Annunzio. (Mr. Heppner sings three of that set on the present disc, in addition to "A Vucchella", the latter with a d'Annunzio text in Abbruzzese dialect. Both Tosti and d'Annunzio were born in the Abbruzzi.) Very sensitive accompaniments, clear recording, informative notes, full texts and translations. Don't miss this one.

Strongly recommended.......2004-06-16

While other tenors may have the name recognition, Ben Heppner has the goods. Heppner is no stranger to my CD collection, with numerous opera recordings as well as non-opera disks such as "My Secret Heart." What separates Heppner from the others is that he is ALWAYS at the service of the music. He approaches Tosti's songs in a manner that serves them, rather than imposing his voice/style on the music. This disc may not have the widespread appeal that "My Secret Heart" (should have) had for non-hardcore opera fans, but if you like this style of music, this is a fantastic recording.

Tim Hardin's Best.......2005-08-04

Although alot of folks might think that Tim Hardin 2 with "If I Were a Carpenter" on it is his best LP, these two releases in one package and recorded circa 1970 and 1971, I believe, show us Hardin at his creative peak. "Suite" is Tim pulling out all the stops incorporating Jazz, Poetry, Folk, Blues; hell, everything but the kitchen sink is in the mix here. Folklore has it that he recorded "Suite" while living in a huge house in Woodstock, NY and he would wander around the house at all hours recording bits and pieces of songs at a time. "Bird" is a collection of self-penned tunes and covers that show Tim in great voice and he interprets Leonard Cohen's title tune beautifully. On both releases, he pours his heart out about the love he has for his wife, his newly born son, his struggle with drugs and alcohol, as well as his fear of becoming a new parent. Hardin is a must for anyone who is seriously interested in American Folk, Jazz and/or singer/songwriter offerings and this two-for is the best work he ever did.

The needless "Classic- discussion".......2004-10-08

Whenever that "Suite for Susan" album gets mentioned, people don't talk about the musical issues, they argue wether it's a classic album or just overrated "..."(whatsoever).
Needless to say that Tim never could reach the hights of those wonderful two Albums he recorded for Verve in 1966 - 1967 again.
But you get to hear great tunes on "Susan". They don't stick to any Pop or even Folk formula, most of them have a lovely improvised and sensitive feeling about them.
Anyone new to the Tim Hardin world might be irritated, but once you've taken his early classics to your heart, this album here shows you somehow the dark side of Tim Hardin 1 and 2.
"Bird on a wire" comes on strong and jazzy.
Your hear the smoke in Tim's voice, but it's a disappointing album (That's why I only give 4 stars; "Susan"=5; "Bird"=3) cause it lacks the beauty his 3 first records so obviously had.
There are some fine moments, mostly "Southern butterfly", but I guess it lacks more original Hardin songs to be a great album in a whole.
Whatsoever; it's worth buying!

Master of bluesy folk.......2004-06-06

This collection combines Tim Hardin's Suite For Susan Moore (1970) and Bird On A Wire (1971). My favorites are the tracks from Bird On A Wire, where Hardin returns to his roots with a smoky jazzy vocal delivery, supported by guitar, keyboards, bas, drums, percussion, vibes, cello, harp and pedal steel.

Leonard Cohen's title track and songs like his cover of Satisfied Mind and his own composition Hoboin' display a poignant sense of longing. More than a dozen folk and jazz musicians worked on this album, but keyboardist Joe Zawinul and guitarist Ralph Towner deserve special accolades for their instrumental virtuosity that subtly and successfully integrates Hardin's various stylistic influences.

As a romantic musical poet, Hardin was unique in that he straddled the fields of folk and blues. His symbolic imagery and haunting vocals remind me somewhat of that other tragic singer-songwriter, the great Nick Drake. After the release of these accomplished albums, Hardin settled in the UK where he occasionally played on the club circuit. While resident in Britain he released the released the unimpressive Painted Head (1972), the somewhat better Archetypes (1973) and the excellent Nine (1974).

I also recommend the albums Reason To Believe: The Best Of, the double set Suite For Susan Moore And Damian/Bird On A Wire and The Essential Classic Hardin, 1963 - 1980.

For Hardin devotees only.......2002-01-08

It is difficult to define a Hardin devotee. The music that this man made and the way he sang defied all classification. He could veer towards folk,blues and jazz with wonderful results and at the same time he could combine all of them in a rather singular blend accompanied by his distinctive voice. These 2 albums here show that even when under a dry spell Tim was a very sensitive and complex songwriter. Complex in the sense that his voice is added as an extra instrument and can carry a simple tune to incredible heights.
Undoubtedly, there are quite a few "misses" but it is worth buying this for the rest which is Hardin vintage. Probably the two best cuts here are "First love song" and "If I knew" which date back to 1965-66 (alternate takes of these two songs appeared in the "Hang on to a dream" compilation).
Except for those older songs there are some new ones that stand their ground well, notably "Southern Butterfly", "Everything good becomes more true" and "Love Hymn". As always the poetry in his songs is unique in expresiveness and nobility without ever becoming distant from real feelings. On the contrary it only shows the gentleness that this man had along with all the demons that claimed his life on December 29, 1980.
Finally, Hardin includes some covers which don't always hit the right note (at least for me). For example, I didn't enjoy the jazz cover of the standard "Georgia in my mind". That said, there is his interpretation of Cohen's "Bird on a wire" that is beyond description simply because the lyrics could have been a short biography of Hardin and he feels at home with everything said in this song.
All in all, a strange collection of songs that reflect upon the life of an even stranger soul. Listen to the way he sings: "If whiskey don't kill me now, I believe I'll live till I die" from the "Moonshiner" and you'll understand what I mean.

Lounge Jazz.......2006-04-12

I too found this album years and years ago when I was into Dave Matthews. At the time, I wasn't much into jazz, but my interest was definitely beginning to grow. This album was probably one of the first Jazz albums I listened too, and at the time, I thought it was great. Fast forward about 6 years and here I am. I'm pretty much a total jazz head at this point, and quite frankly, aside from the senitmental value of hearing this again, it really isn't that good. It's pleasent music for sure, but it's just not very interesting music. The druming is monotonous and boring, the piano work leaves much to be desired, both techinically and musically. The sax player is okay, but is similar to Kenny G in his approach (not good). I doubt anyone will hate this album, but if you know music outside of what is popularily percieved as Jazz (ex. Kenny G), then you will quickly be inspired to listen to something else. For those that enjoyed this album, I recommend Jan Garbarek's album, Twelve Moons. It's similiar in mood, and also happens to be absolutely brilliant. Also check out anything by Pat Metheny.

good, but not 5 star material.......2005-08-04

Like a lot of people I bought this cd because I was intrigued by the appearences of Dave Matthews, LeRoi Moore and Tim Reynolds. Dave has a very minimal role in the album but really adds a great touch to the song Jiriki. At first listen I caught myself nodding my head and tapping my feet so I knew the album had something in it I liked. There are many good piano riffs in the album and of course LeRoi adds his incredible sax touch but what seems to get overlooked on this album are catchy bass riffs. This cd is different than all of the other cd's I own but I am very glad I have it in my collection because at times its that one cd that seems like its the perfect music choice.

Wonderful Smooth Jazz.......2004-05-20

This is an excellent compelation by very talented muscians. I too am a Dave Matthews Band fan which is what initially attracted me to the album. The reason I bought it however was becasue I am a fan of Jazz. This album is amazingly smooth, and as a fan of Piano, I really appreciated the smooth transitions and playing of Soko. The reason I give it only four stars is that I feel only the first five tracks (which happens to be the tracks that Leroi Moore, DMB sax guy extraordinare play on) are the only ones I really enjoyed. I didn't particularly liked the last three. I also have issues with some sloppy and excessive piano parts. This isn't to say there missed notes, just very excited and "busy" moments where the smoothness was lost. It was brief, however, so don't worry. Whereas I wouldn't go far to call this a "Must Have", if you enjoy jazz and don't mind spending for quality music, I highly recommend this.

Relaxing, smooth, and all too enjoyable.......2004-03-26

How can one dislike the flowing manner of these amazing musicians? If you are a true fan of jazz then this record is for you. If you're a mainsteam Davehead, then well, maybe you should start off your jazz exploration with something a little more mainstream. Trust me, I am a huge DMB supporter, but if in buying this record I wasn't really anticipating Dave's vocals or even Roi's eloquant sax riffs. I bought it for the music. You should do the same.

Bought it for Dave and Tim, but ended up liking it.......2003-12-16

I've never heard of Soko, but it is great. Dave doesn't play a huge roll in the CD, but its great stuff even without getting it. A Great Modern day Jazz CD. Leroi plays great on almost all the tracks and Timmy tears Jiriki to shreds.

Don't wake the snake!.......2000-01-15

Alan Moore, long considered a unique and innovative writer in the "comic book" field, proves himself to be an artist of real and profound vision with this recording. The listener is taken on a geographical and historical tour of London, and that is only the beginning. Mr. Moore escorts us further, into another London, that which like all cities exists in the heads of it's inhabitants. From there we travel further and further into occult realms of the mind - that place where all creation begins and ends - and are given a glimpse of Truth - "There is only one person." The aural soundscapes created by David J and Tim Perkins complete this journey into the mystic. Buy it today but be warned - this is heavy and heady stuff, it may just change your mind. literally.

Captivating!.......1999-07-03

This performance is amazing. Even without the musical embellishments, the pulsating melody of the words will enrapture you and take you into the world of the story... which winds its way through history, as well as the streets of London. You will come away with different vision of the world after listening to this brilliant musical poetry. BTW...I am not even a great fan of spoken word!!

stunning and hypnotic.......1999-02-06

The album is amazing. Alan Moore's voice reaches a hypnotic and enthralling intensity that truly captivates. I don't generally like spoken word, but I loved this album. The first and last track listings (actually it's just one track on the cd) are actually songs with A Moore singing. The rest has him speaking with soundscapes pulsating in the background. He goes over quite a bit of material that he wrote of in his "From Hell" serial. Mostly his ideas on British history and folklore. I've never been particularly interested in such, but hearing him talk about it was (and is) amazing!

Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymystic.......1999-01-24

Alan Moore (WATCHMEN, FROM HELL, V FOR VENDETTA) cuts loose with this album-length spoken-word meditation/ritual encompassing Mystic London, the Kray twins, the magickal correspondences within the wedding of Charles & Diana, Jack the Ripper, and the entire freaking cosmos including Richard Nixon. It's an amazing, mind-bending piece of work, with haunting music and sound by Bauhaus's David J and friends. If you've read Moore's FROM HELL, you may remember the tour of mystic London that Gull takes with his cab driver; by the end of it, the driver is overcome as Gull reveals the grand mystical design underpinning London and tying together all its landmarks. This album is in the vein of that travelogue, with Moore as your holy-fool narrator. Don't miss this gem! (--John Tynes, Pagan Publishing)

Not my fave............2005-09-14

It really goes to show how performances can make or break a recording. If you're going to have someone carry a musical please make sure he can sing. This Jesus cannot sing. As a whole I actually prefer rock singers to musical theatre singers (especially for this particular show) and even as a rock singer his technique is crap. This is really just my opinion, others may think he's great. But his performance alone made this CD a turn off for me. The Judas is just kind of so-so and the orchestrations are pretty basic.

ExcellenT!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-02-14

As you all already know, there's been many copies of this Rice and Webbers' muscial, but there hasn't been a cd that contains a more modern stlye of JSC like this one!!
It has everything one wants in a JSC cd, singers that can really sing,musicians that can really play! When I first bought it,I was excited and happy because I finally bought a good and up to date JSC cd.
If you want a more up to style JSC cd, BUY THIS ONE!!!!

(Warning: the only thing that made me give this cd 4 stars other than 5 was the sometimes good vocals of Paul Nicholas. I felt that Webber should have recast Paul, he ruined a few good lines in the rock-opera)
Other than that, BUY IT!!!
Its like listening to a LIVE production of JSC performed right at your home!

This is NOT a review but A STATEMENT of INQUIRY.......2004-04-05

Well, like I said--this is not a review; I just wanted to answer the other person's question to whether or not this is the original cast recording. Well, the answer is:No, it's not. It's a re-working or a "special anniversary" recording. The original 1972 London cast recording was only a highlights album. But to make sure I don't waste your time, here is the main bottom line:Only get it if you are a die hard fan--the 1992 London is better than the original 1972 london cast recording. But to keep you amused, here are some details. Here are some of the cast as follows:

Jesus:Paul Nicholas
Mary:Dana Gillespie
Judas:Stephen Tate

This recording was a little too "disco" for me especially on "Simon Zealotes." But Nicholas actually doesn't scream in Gethsemane. But he does "yodel" somewhat. It's hard to explain.

But if you are still amused, here is the ordering information. Again, this can only be special ordered. It's a RARE item. It's out of print. Only luck:USED section or special order.

I just wanted to answer the previous person's question to whether or not this is an official or re-working of the offical London cast. The answer is THIS recording is not the OFFICAL London cast recording. This is an anniversary recording. But to help you save your money, this anniversary recording made in 1992 is better than the 1972 original London Cast recording. I don't care if it's out of print--don't get IT unless you are truely a DIE HARD fan. PLUS, it's REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hard to find. Plus, the 1972 recording sounds more like disco music---rock disco music. Plus, Paul Nicholas does a "yodel" type of thing in the middle of gethsemane because he can't hold the note that long. But the plus about Nicholas in the 1972 Lond cast recording is that Nicholas DOESN'T SCREAM out the lyrics like he does in the 1992 cast recording--"See...See.....how I die." When I listen to the 1992 one, it almost sounded like Nirvana when it came to "See...See....how I die. Nicholas doesn't do that in the original. But the 1972 recording is way too 1970's. It's totally outdated. But I keep it because I am a JCS fan.

Here is the cast for the 1972 London Cast Recording

Album Description

After appearing in the early bands of Todd Rundgren (Woody's Truck Stop) and Daryl Hall (Gulliver), Tim Moore emerged as a leading songwriter in the 1970s, having had his material recorded by Art Garfunkel ("Second Avenue"), The Bay City Rollers ("Rock And Roll Love Letter"), Richie Havens, Etta James and Cher. These two albums were his first releases with a major record label. "Tim Moore is a pop maestro...[with] an exquisite understanding of pop structure and melody." (Joe Viglione, Allmusic.com)

Customer Reviews:

A LONG AWAITED BARGAIN.......2006-01-07

Tim Moore was one of the talented singer/songwriter of the 70's but his works were only re-issued in CDs just in the recent few years. I was surprised to see this CD containing all songs from his first two albums. The song "Second Avenue" alone is worth a third of the price and there are many more well-written ballads to make up the rest of your investment. On this one, "For The Minute", "Lay Down A Line To Me", "Now I See", "Charmer", "Love Enough", "A Fool Like Me", "The Night We First Sailed Away" are all great songs. It's a really good bargain.

I hope to see more of his latter works being re-issued like this.

Absolutely Essential. One of the Best CDs Ever Made.......2002-09-02

This work has it all. It is the best of Moore's spoken-word CDs by far. I think it is the best thing Moore has ever done. Deeply personal. Powerfully universal. Bold. Terrifying.

Using the folklore surrounding a veil of skin over the face with which some babies are born as his jumping-off point and central metaphor, Moore takes us through a life and then backwards, to birth and beyond. His language as he does this is perfect for each stage of reverse development.

This is a stunning, perfect work. You'll want to listen to it 100 times.

This attempt is a mixed bag.......1999-11-05

On November 18th, 1995, his forty-second birthday, Alan Moore performed a lengthy autobiographical poem entitled The Birth Caul. The work was accompanied by music from David J. and Tim Perkins. Last spring saw the release of a graphic version of the poem, illustrated by Eddie Campbell. The comic and the disc go together nicely, a kind of darkly mutated version of those comic-book-and-record sets that were ubiquitous in the 1970's. Moore refers to the work as "a shamanism of childhood." I'm wary of new-agey terminology, and would prefer to characterize the piece as an honest stab at High Art. While in the world of comics, he stands out merely by virtue of his having an imagination, Moore himself has said that he would be considered a hack if subjected to the critical standards of any other medium. This attempt is a mixed bag, but Moore's still more talented than he gives himself credit for. Fans will recognize the dark, brooding poetry of Watchmen and Swamp Thing and the hidden landscapes of From Hell, but when torn away from any mythical icons or comic-book-campiness, his influences are much more visible. His vivid imagery of a damp, bleak English landscape is reminiscent of T.S. Eliot, and his stream-of-consciousness wordplay reminds one of William Burroughs. Moore's poetry doesn't really come anywhere near Eliot's, but he's actually a much better writer than Burroughs. He is still, however, more the consummate comic writer than he is a poet or performance artist. The work is much more compelling and visual in the graphic novel than it is on the CD. This may have something to do with Campbell, but I think it's more likely that Moore is just used to working in a medium that's half visual. Also, when placed in a comic, especially a superhero comic, Moore's dark poetry is striking and insightful, but by itself it often gets melodramatic and adolescent. This is too bad, because Moore's come up with some of the best turns of phrase I've heard/read in a long time. His study of the storybook banality of working-class English life is compelling and often breathtaking-but can also be pretentious and humorless. The work itself contains a certain gallows wit, but when Moore reads it, it unfortunately gets lost. Still, the disc and the comic both are both worth having, and worth enjoying separately from one another (I particularly recommend listening to the CD in a darkened room). The music is brilliant at times, with an especially haunting soundscape that recurs during the "Birth Caul" segments.

Great HIT in Brazil..........2005-07-30

I was just a child when Tim Moore was one of the most listenned acts with a song Called "Yes". We have soap operas here, and the music was a song theme from one of them, and that's why it got listenned all the country...

Anyways, I don't have this record, but I had to tell that this must be good, cause I was 6-years-old and til this days (I'm 27) i can remember every single note from "yes" (track 2 in that album) and still I remember Tim Moore as one of the greatest voices I've ever heard in my life!!!

He eventually came to Brazil and presented himself in a bunch of tv shows... I can remember me, a little kid, staying up late to see him on tv in a sunday...
