Just in case the name of Michel Legrand is not familiar, he is the composer of the infuriatingly catchy "The Windmills of My Mind" (actually "The Windmills of My Heart" in the original French) and all the songs in Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, the charming Catherine Deneuve film musical. The material on this disc ranges from the smoky melancholy of "Je vivrai sans toi" ("I Will Live Without You") to the hyperbolic camp of "Celui-là" ("The One") but mainly hovers in the realm of anguished longing. Jessye Norman uses the material to show off the extraordinary range and flexibility of her voice. She slips between a pure, almost boyish sound and a full-throated luxurious warble with ease. But idiomatically she may not be to everyone's taste: for the most part this is the musical territory inhabited by the Billie Holidays of the world, and Norman's technique puts her at a disadvantage. Michel Legrand in his role as pianist is another matter, however. His carefully nuanced accompaniments flow with improvisatory ease, and inspire some great moments from the bass and drums. --Warwick Thompson

Customer Reviews:

Partly disappointing.......2007-04-04

I own many of Ms Norman's records, and she has just about the best classically trained voice around, but this record is very up and down. In short... her voice is overly classical for this type of music. M. Michel Legrand est genial... and his music makes this record.

Sublime, Incandescent .......2006-12-02

Like most of the reviewers here, this album has given me countless hours of sublime pleasure. It's pure gold. This collaboration embodies a wonderful honesty, authenticity, subtlety, and incandescence...qualities that are very rare nowadays. It's a must have for anyone who appreciates the subtle, sublime and the unpretentious. This album simply could not be better.

The silly comments made by the the first reviewer is an unfortunate testament to the muederous mediocrity of the common palate. The macdonaldization of the collective palate, renders most of us incapable of appreciating anything but the expected.

Both Norman and Legrand were simply sublime.

Breathtaking, magnificent....A MUST HAVE!!!.......2006-08-03

This is no doubt, a great CD by a great diva and a great composer...period. It's jazz singing at its very finest, with the most beautiful nuances and vocalization you'll probably ever hear. Jessye Norman, one of my favorite Sieglinde's, Ariadnes, and Kundry's, sings these songs in such an artistic and captivating way that I would gladly give in and say that this is one of the best CD's I've ever owned. Highly recommended!

CATASTROPHIC! .......2006-07-23

THIS ALBUM HAS BROUGHT ME TO THE BRINK OF... I HAVE NO QUESTIONS, FOR AFTER HEARING THIS, ALL MY ANSWERS...
this is the purpose of art-exhuming life

For intent listening and getting blown away.......2005-05-07

I just don't believe anyone would give this less than 4 or 5 stars, how can this be ?

I can't describe the listening pleasure I derived from hearing this. I don't like opera. No, worse than that. What with modern electronic sound equipment that can record the many hues of the human voice, opera is not singing, but "lunging". In actuality, we hear more meaning with other vocalising technologies. Plus, we are expected to believe that because of the complexities of performing this style of (mostly) archaic music that we are witness to genius living out the equivalent of solving Rubic's Cube right before our eyes. Let's show a little descriminative restraint, ladies and gentlemen. "Opera" could be a valuable adjunct to good theater. It's place in academia needs an adjustment, to say the least. Let's do other acts with ourselves.

But you can't top Jessye Norman, nonetheless. This recording blew me clean away.

Yes, the sound is lush. But it's worse (better, I mean) than that. This singer should stop you in your tracks, not just provide you with a lush feel. If you listen seriously -- well, each word, almost each and every separate word is like a natural, richly colored landscape painting.

I should have waited to collect my thoughts with more specific appreciative comments. There are some nice reviewer comments on this Jessye Norman work listed already here.

For those of you with odd music prejudices -- you'd be best to concern yourself with constructive commentary on some other CD rather than cannibalizing this superb and unique recording to compensate for your limits in listening comprehension.

I almost jumped in the air after my first listen through. I still feel unmitigated joy from the work of all, here. No, it's not one that will fit neatly into everyone's pre-existing grooves and mental ruts. Wowee ! Six or seven stars at least.

An Amazing Work of Art by Steve Suvada.......2004-07-21

This cd is a wonderful work of art that uses the natural sounding classical guitar to portay many beautiful landscapes. From quiet meadows to a holiday celebration, Steve Suvada depicts a wide range of Richard Pick's most beautiful songs. As a student of Steve Suvada, I can tell you that this cd is a small taste of his incredible talent as a very creative and devoted guitarist. You will surely be amazed by his ability to carry on the wonderful music of Richard Pick.

Finest American Composer for Classical Guitar.......2004-06-27

Richard Pick's music is some of the finest I've ever heard written for the classical guitar. He is truly one of the most underrated voices of his generation, and is wonderfully American and Naturalist in his themes. I hope people will listen to this wonderful performance by Mr. Suvada and thank him for perpetuating the music of this inspiring American composer...Richard Pick. It is obvious to the listener that he worked closely with Richard Pick in the production of this recording, so as to come up with the definitive interpretation of Pick's work. The two men made a marvelous team in the production of this beautiful record. Thank you for this gem of American Classical guitar music!!!!

The Quiet Cove,.......2003-12-17

Steve Suvada is the perfect player for this music. Richard Pick's music touches the soul, and can make you forget about any problems of the world that may be in your way. If you are looking for some beautiful music to chill out and relax with, this is a great Cd. If you are a guitarist and not familiar with Pick's music, then you should look into it.

Great Talent.......2002-09-13

If you appreciate true musical talent, love beautiful and inspiring music, Kristi Kruse's music is a must. Kristi has a talent waiting and needed to be recognized and enjoyed by the world.

Afterthoughts ... Music for the soul and spirit.......2002-08-29

In this busy, crazy, and sometimes angry world of ours, it is a gift to relax and listen to Kristi's arrangements of both original and classic music. I found the album a tool for helping me to relax at the end of a hard day, or to listen too simply for the soothing harmonies and flowing tonal art. Add this CD to your collection of "Music for your Soul and Spirit."
