Northern Period Counterpoint to "Sacred Harp".......2006-10-05

A beautiful collection of "low-church" hymns in a folk style, but from the North. Some similarities to Sacred Harp-style shape-note singing, mostly found in the South, but from New England and largely taken from mid-19th Century period sources. Extremely well-performed and haunting, these songs will be running through your head for weeks after your mega-church's latest electric guitar extravaganza fades away.

Nearly Lost Heritage.......2000-08-09

I am appreciative of any CD, such as this one, that brings the sounds of traditional hymns to modern ears. This CD includes familiar gospel with not so familiar hymns that whisper of a rich heritage nearly lost in the maze o modern choruses. Many of these modern songs lack the genuine passion found in the traditional songs found on this CD. I recommend this CD to those who are interested in cultural history as well as in beautiful hymn texts.

Fine reissue of a classic set.......2006-05-24

Think about the stupidest, most formulaic Hollywood movies you can think of: cheesy action pictures, fluffy, unfunny comedies, big but stiff epics. Now imagine that one of the greatest living composers was working in Hollywood, turning out astonishing, hauntingly beautiful and stirring musical scores for these throwaway movies. That's what you get with this set: music Henry Purcell composed for some two dozen often utterly forgettable plays (trust me--I've read a number of them!) Occasionally, when he teams up with a playwright worthy of his stature, such as John Dryden, Aphra Behn, or William Congreve, the results are even better, but for the most part you can enjoy the music here without knowing anything about the original plays.

This set originally appeared as separate LPs in the 70s and 80s, and has been long out of print. That's a pity, since Purcell spent a good deal of his short professional life in the theatre, either writing the incidental music contained on these CDs, or the music for his larger works, the semi-operas (King Arthur, The Fairy Queen, and the like). Almost all of these works are enjoyable gems; certainly, they represent a pinnacle of English 17th century music. Purcell had a genius for spinning musical gold out of the most leaden lyrics (check out his Odes and Welcome Songs on Hyperion if you don't believe me), and he does the same with the song texts in these plays.

Hogwood and the AAM offer clean, listenable performances, and the sound on these old analog discs has been cleaned up and brightened--although they were pretty good, even in the late 70s. As with most Hogwood, emotional extremes are kept to a minimum, so the "otherworldly" nature of late 17th century music, so often emphasised in more recent Baroque performances, doesn't come across here. It would be interesting to see what a group like The King's Consort would do with this music, but this set fills the major gap in the Purcell canon quite nicely.

My only beef with the reissue, as with many reissues, is that the liner notes are rather thin for a 6-cd set--the lyrics to the songs, for example, are especially missed. Still, it's a worthwhile set, and a must for fans of Purcell, English Baroque music, or anyone who just wants to experience a taste of the last days of the Restoration stage.

Amazing choral music.......2001-08-09

This cd is absolutely beautiful. My parents bought it at the Cathedral when we were in England about 10 years ago. Since I live on my own, I have been searching high and low for it for years. I finally found it here, and bought it. It's as good as I remember. Probably one of my favorite CD's of all time of any genre of music.

Magical music from an underappreciated English saxophonist.......2004-02-06

Tony Coe is a musician far too little known this side of the Atlantic. His incredibly broad resume includes stints with the Humphrey Littleton Orchestra and the Clarke-Boland Big Band, playing on all the Pink Panther music, leading a number of his own small groups (with top English players like Brian Lemon, Phil Seamen, and Steve Arguelles), being a member of Franz Kogelmann's Monoblue Quartet, being a featured soloist with the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, being a member of the remarkable English fusion outfit The Lonely Bears (check out their three discs), and recording with players as diverse as Tony Oxley and Roger Kellaway. Thus he spans almost the entire musical spectrum from pop to classical, from mainstream to avant-garde jazz. He was also awarded an honorary doctorate in music by the University of Kent, and won the prestigious JAZZPAR International Award whose recipients include such giants as David Murray, John Tchicai, and Chris Potter. I have about a dozen discs featuring his stellar playing, and this is, hands down, the finest.

The glorious music on Canterbury Song represents one of those straight-ahead sessions that manages to rise far above the typical post-bop outing and soar into regions of breathtaking enchantment. The disc opens with the magnificent title cut, a Coe composition written expressly to be played for the evening that celebrated his reception of the honorary doctorate. Featuring a very attractive melody that cleverly combines a gentle Latin flow with an English folksong sensibility, it's a clarion statement that the proceedings will be operating at the very highest level. Everyone perfectly catches the vibe, and Coe knocks off a magnificently architectural solo. The rest of the music, a combination of more Coe originals and some very carefully chosen standards (Monk, Evans, Styne-Khan) matches the relaxed intensity and highest-level playing of the opener. Coe has an uncanny ability to immediately lock into the particular feeling each selection articulates even while he completely makes it his own.

There's a companion session also on Hot House recorded a day earlier (unfortunately, not carried by Amazon), featuring the exact same musicians (the great Horace Parlan, piano; Benny Bailey, a huge but relatively unsung player, on trumpet; Jimmy Woode, bass; and the inimitable Idris Muhammad, drums), this time led by Bailey, that is also very much worth picking up--if you can find it. These Coe/Bailey discs remind me a lot of two great recordings featuring Bobby Watson and John Hicks, Love Remains (Bobby's gig) and Naima's Love Song (John's gig). All were recorded in the late eighties, all feature veteran musicians at the top of their game, and all are really, really special. And if I had to choose a favorite, it just might be Canterbury Song. Do give it a listen.
