Amazon.com essential recording

For all its wide stylistic span and just plain good listening, Kronos's Released 1985-1995 is problematic in that it doesn't acknowledge the group's decade-long pre-Nonesuch history with so much as a footnote. That aside, Released, which celebrates the first ten years of the group's association with Nonesuch, is like a great mix tape, stringing pop-song-length selections from 11 albums to wonderful effect. It opens with a joyous Zimbabwean cross-cultural composition; segues into a brief tango by Astor Piazzolla; and goes on to comprise classic minimalism (Steve Reich, Terry Reilly, Philip Glass), a broader palette of 20th-century classical (Samuel Barber, Henryk Gorecki, George Crumb, Arvo Part), and work truly unique to the Kronos repertoire (Ben Johnston's arrangement of "Amazing Grace"). A second CD includes a live recording of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze," a catchy rendering of a wacky Raymond Scott hodgepodge, a novelty homage to Elvis Presley, and a selection from Scott Johnson's extraordinary musical setting of readings by historian I.F. Stone. A great starter kit for Kronos newcomers. --Marc Weidenbaum

It's not what it appears to be.......2006-07-17

A sampler should be priced at sampler prices to get you to sample the label or artist, usually around $10. On this set, the first CD is 77 min. but the second is only 23 and mostly worthless, except for the Hendrix piece (Purple Haze) which they claim is unreleased though it appears in nearly identical form on the "Sculthorpe, Sallinen, Glass..." album, released 5 years before this one. The first CD is excellent, however, and merits a $2 marketplace purchase.

I never knew classical could sound like this.......2005-06-22

I bought this CD with no knowledge of what Kronos Quartet was all about. I don't have a sophisticated taste in classical music, with my preferences running more to Copeland, Dvorak, Handel, Barber, and Holst.....accessible music for many people. I bought this to expose myself to a different approach to classical music and for the most part have loved the ride. The track America-Before the War alone is worth the price of the CD....its meditation on a society just emerging with optimism from economic stagnation but simultaneously rushing into war is incredibly powerful.

There are obviously many old favorites like Amazing Grace, Barber's Adagio, and a classic rendition of Jimmy Hendrix. When you listen, though, you will appreciate the diversity of classical music....there's so much more to the catalog than most writers Top Fifty lists.

a necessary, and excellent, sampler.......2000-10-09

I've been aware of the Kronos Quartet since WHITE MAN SLEEPS, but never took the plunge until now. What to do, when they've "released" so many records in the meantime? This sampler is the (near) perfect answer. It contains selections from 10 different albums. This serves both to give a sense of the breadth of the group's work (as well as the breadth of 20th century composition!), and also the flavor of some of their records if you decide to hear more. It is astounding music --RELEASED works as a unified whole, with two exceptions in my opinion, and those are the excerpts from the Reich and Glass albums. I don't like Glass at all, and the Reich piece is underwhelming, so I simply edit those selections out. Most of the other tracks are nothing less than stellar: Johnston, Gorecki, Riley, Crumb, Part, Tahmizyan, and Barber. The second disc ("Unreleased") is where my more serious dissatisfaction lies, and hence only 4 stars. You pay a 2-disc price, but this is not a full disc of music, and only 2 of the 4 selections really bear repeated listening. The Johnson track with sampled vocals by the great critic of U.S. imperialism I.F. Stone is fantastic (in a very '80s style), but the last two pieces are more novelty numbers. With all the material available, the second disc could easily contain many more cuts from the voluminous Kronos catalog. But with that caveat, I recommend this record. It sounds great in its own right, and it works quite well as a sampler.

(Since I wrote the original review I've added BLACK ANGELS, NIGHT PRAYERS, and SHORT STORIES to my collection, and all are superb -- see my reviews of all three, and my "Kronos, Reviewed and Unreviewed" list -- 9/5/04.)

Music for the soul.......2006-11-17

Please listen to this music.

I first heard this album when my father brought it home. He and my mother went to one of Piazzolla's performances with his small band of 'tangueros'
(tango musicians) playing at an basement, an unrderground Pub. The music, my father told me later, was sublime, so he brought the LP record of 'Reunion Cumbre' that he purchased after the concert, and after talking to Piazzolla to congatulate him for his great music. Although this album seems at first to be in a different direction with regards to the music that Piazzolla composed and played, it is very much Piazzolla, as he was exploring all the time, and playing with Jazz musicians as he also loved Jazz (he was brought up in New York). But I guess he loved Argentina and that is why he returned to it and to his native city of Mar del Plata, where my father had the chance to listen to him.

There is this piece in the album, 'Años de Soledad' that makes my argentinian bones tremble so much, that I am definitively sure it should replace our national anthem. Anyway, the whole album is great.

Brilliant - Piazzolla and Mulligan on Cloud 9!.......2001-10-19

This is a unique disc and is, I believe, the only instance of Mulligan and Piazzolla playing together. Which is a shame, because this is a tremendous production which has a timeless appeal.

Due to the influence of Mulligan this is a far more jazz-oriented production than tango-oriented but it has managed to retain the introspective and reflective soul of tango. Happily, there is little of the strident searching and experimentation in which Piazzolla occasionally indulged. Instead this is stunningly expressive and relective music with an almost melancholic feel. The compositions throughout are strong and the two leaders play well together with moments of real magic being created. Emphasis is placed on sincere musical expression as opposed to flashy technicalities. Mulligan's tone is unique and has to be heard; it's deep and warm and manages to pervade the room. Everybody will have their favourite tracks but I particularly enjoy the opener "Twenty Years Ago".

I play this at night just before I go to sleep - it's perfect nocturnal music and one of my favourite discs overall. As such I recommended it unconditionally.

Pablo Cruise Meets David Sanborn.......2001-03-29

As a big fan of both Mulligan's and Piazzolla's works, I was incredibly disappointed by this CD. Recorded in 1974 (need I say more?), the session finds both artists straining to find common ground, periodically relying on cliches that complement the '70s percussion perfectly. This would have made a nice soundtrack for a Starsky & Hutch movie. Mulligan is one of the most versatile blowers that ever lived, but this pairing just didn't work. Yuck!

An outstanding desert island disc, fav. Astor.......2000-10-19

The beauty and balance of the baritone sax and bandoneon is wonderful. I played this over and over so many times, I wanted to buy a second one just in case it went out of print. I have some 3000 jazz albums and this is definitely on my top 20 list. I have 10 or 12 Astor Piazzolla albums and I think this one is the most favorite and distinctive. Fortunately, you can never stop at one. Pick up a good box set as well.

Enjoy this great listening music of "jazzy tango".......2000-08-27

I always enjoyed Tango music as well as watching the beautiful and sensual Tango Dance. This album is not the traditional Tango music but a wonderful listening experience. Love it!
