Nothing but hits.......2001-01-31
As with their first collection of label highlights, Hyperion's new two-disc collection provides a broad sampling of their exceptional catalogue and performers. Particularly rewarding are the selections from Beethoven (Scherzo from String Trio in C minor, op 9 no 3, performed by the Leopold Trio) and Thomas Tallis (Salvator mundi I, performed by the Winchester Cathedral Choir), but experienced and novice listeners alike will find much to enjoy on these discs. It's also a good value--more than 2 1/2 hours of music for less than $10.

I'm Mad About Baroque.......2007-01-05
I love this CD and am so pleased to have purchased it. I put it on almost daily at work -- it is the perfect length equipt with the perfect choice music.
Amazing!.......2002-12-18
I thouroughly enjoy this CD! The music is beautiful enough to listen to all by itself, but also quiet and peaceful enough to listen to while studying for exams or doing homework. Mad about Baroque has been in my discman for many weeks and accompanied to the library many times. This is a great CD!

Slawson does it again!.......2003-11-05
One of my favourite things has been to listen to transcriptions of Bach for non-traditional instruments, or even for different instruments. Many of us have heard of --and listened to-- Switched-On Bach by Walter Carlos. And of course lots of artists transcribe for their own instrument, like James Galway does. Yo-yo Ma did a beautiful set of transcriptions of Bach arias in Simply Baroque recently (highly recommended, all of these).
Brian Slawson
This artist is a percussionist, with a wonderful sense of what works with Bach. I recognize there are different kinds of purists, with different levels of tolerance for ways in which Bach music is 'stretched.' For instance, I really cannot tolerate *harmonic* stretching of Bach. (It's only rarely that modified Bach harmony seems acceptable to me, but surprisingly, there have been instances.) Slawson's transcriptions are harmonically faithful. (There are some odd sounds, due to the peculiar acoustics of such things as bells. The overtones of bells, as you might hear, are characteristically different from those of instruments such as winds and strings. Actually, the piano has somewhat of the same problem, in milder form.)
Brian Slawson transcribes Bach for percussion. He uses all sorts of percussion, from tubular bells to steel drums, to synthesizer. It is interesting always, and often wonderful. Each track has to be assessed separately, since the treatment varies from track to track, even between one repeat and the next.
The first CD I bought of Slawson's was Bach on Wood, which seems to have since become somewhat of a classic. It is available used through Amazon, on a label which seems to belong to the Sony/CBS family. This CD contains a number of pieces by Bach and others, the crowning glory of which is the Quodlibet from the Goldberg Variations. Every single note is there, lovingly played through the magic of multi-layering, --or maybe this fellow can do it all in real time. Percussionists must be marvellously skillful people!
Recently I acquired Bach Beat, apparently his third effort. Slawson has returned to the High Baroque. Not surprising, given the rhythmic excitement of music of that period. Composers represented are Bach, Handel, Purcell and Vivaldi. The tracks are:
1. Brandenburg Concerto No. 3
This is the last movement. Compare with Walter Carlos's treatment. I think Slawson is a little more fun!
2. Organ Concerto No. 2, BMW 593
3. G-Minor Minuet
4. Largo
5. One Badinerie
This is the last movement from orchestral suite number 2 in B minor, which is fun done in almost any transcription.
6. B-Minor Minuet
7. Hornpipe
The brilliant Alla Hornpipe from the Watermusic. Not the best version I've heard, but still very good.
8. Sarabande
A well-known Handel Sarabande, repeated a few times too often ...
9. Galoppiére
A rollicking tune from the Royal Fireworks. Very nice!
10. Gavotte 4/8
11. Winterland
12. Roach
13. Too Hot to Handel
"Surely he has borne our griefs" from Messiah. A surprise.
Chez Goldberg : a selection of Goldberg variations with fanciful titles.
14. Die Küche (The Cookery)
15. Die Welpen (The Puppies)
16. Der Regen (The Rain)
17. Der Schmied (The Blacksmith)
18. Der Hammer
This is the intense C minor prelude, I believe, from the Well-Tempered Clavier. However it's played, it feels as though your head's getting a pounding. The name is appropriate. It sounds wonderful on percussion. (Have an aspirin handy!)
19. Black Forest
20. Minuet in D
21. Village Parade
22. Bourrée
23. Elegy
24. Victory March
All the tracks are at least a lot of fun. Many are really fantastic. One track, in particular --I think it's 12-- is a wonderfully sly treatment of the A minor 2-part invention. This one made me chuckle! You simply have to hear it!
regards,
Archimedes

Beautiful, soulful and at times shiveringly wonderful.......2005-07-10
For a lover of choirmusic - this album is a pearl! The Phoenix Bach Choir are wonderful singers, with enviable technique and intonation... This album is among the stayers on my MP3 player :o)
beautiful.......2005-03-21
My chamber group performed the four Mantyjarvi songs, so I bought this album for those four songs alone and because absolutely addicted to most of the album, especially the song by composer Matthew Harris. Hauntingly beautiful. I love this album.
Stunningly Good : You've GOT to Hear This in SACD!.......2005-03-03
As a Kansas Citian, I've had many years experience hearing Charles Bruffy work his magic with choral singers; his home church is a quarter-mile from my home and even his small amateur church choir is wonderful. The Kansas City Chorale, his first professional choir, has made memorable recordings for Nimbus. And now his Phoenix Bach Choir is recording for Chandos. As a recent article by James Reel in Fanfare puts it, Bruffy 'is one of the next big things in American choral music. He's mentioned in the same breath with his former mentor, Robert Shaw.' Possibly my most memorable choral music experience was several years ago when Bruffy combined the Kansas City and Phoenix choirs to sing Thomas Tallis's legendary 'Spem in alium,' with 40+ singers ranged around the periphery of an oval cathedral space with the audience in the middle. Waves of polyphony came crashing over the audience from different directions like musical tidal waves. Extraordinary!
This recording of music set to words by Shakespeare is not the usual olde tyme music, but rather is all from the 20th (and in at least one case, the 21st) century by well-known composers like Vaughan Williams and Frank Martin, and little-knowns like Matthew Harris and Major Alan Murray. All of it is good, some of it strikingly good (like the Martin, the RVW, and Sametz's 'When he shall die,' written in honor of Louis Botto, the late founder of America's most famous professional choir, Chanticleer, and which the choir apparently learned only two days before the recording date!)
Others have already written in some detail about the program. Let me just add that unless you hear this in SACD you're missing something. I have heard it in both formats and can tell you that the SACD is sensational, not that the plain-vanilla CD lacks anything for that medium. As Bruffy predicts in the Fanfare article, 'Once you listen on SACD you'll never go back.'
This is stunningly beautiful release that I recommend unstintingly. On my wish-list is a recording in SACD of the Phoenix Bach Choir and the Kansas City Chorale reunited to sing 'Spem in alium.' Now THAT would really be something heard in surround sound the way Tallis intended it!

A Spoonful of Sugar.......2004-10-09
Shakespeare, for me, is like cough syrup. It's good to have once in a while, but a spoon of it once a year is all you need. Nothing against the Bard, I just wouldn't want him over for my dinner party. But I try to keep an open mind - at least for a few minutes - so I popped the disc into an SACD player and listened.
I heard something new, and something unexpected. Here, the Phoenix Bach Choir doesn't offer some type of trite and foolishly cheerful Renaissance romp, but instead, new settings of old texts.
First, the quality of the recording is superb - listening in 5.1 surround it feels as though the group is singing to you in your living room, albeit in a much better acoustic without the drapes, carpet and recliner. Second, the quality of the sound of the ensemble is exquisite, even in extreme dynamic ranges or technically difficult passages. Bruffy and his singers offer impeccable blend, ideal choral balance, spot-on intonation, careful attention to the ebb and flow of the text, and absolute control of technique, especially in complex polyphonic sections.
These qualities should be reason enough for anyone to buy the album, even though these attributes should be (but often aren't) par for the course for professional choral ensembles.
While the introspective interpretation of the music is an excellent quality, the innovative sounds of these (perhaps unfamiliar) composers are truly wonderful. All of the composers featured on the album have written music during the past 100 years, and the several songs are fresh and accessible. The Matthew Harris "Shakespeare Songs" are absolutely addictive - you'll find yourself humming these tunes while you make your morning muffins. The Nils Lindberg "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" is a mellow and jazzy piece, conjuring images of a choral ensemble around the piano at a martini bar. Alan Murray's "O Mistress Mine" is a very English-sounding anthem that, words aside, wouldn't sound out of place in an Anglican church service.
To be fair, the other selections on the disc are not as immediately pleasing. The dark, edgy pieces by Frank Martin and Steven Sametz are the best examples, full of brooding and bite. The Vaughan Williams pieces are much more bitter than one might expect from this beloved composer. Unfortunately, these melancholy, hazy selections tend to get buried together on the album, so be sure to sample things out of order as you listen. I suspect that these other pieces are like a good coffee that one must appreciate over several tastings. But perhaps this coffee needs another spoonful of sugar.
But after the SACD has stopped spinning, I realize that this music has offered me a window to profundity. As I encountered this offering of art, bringing to it all of my prior judgements and feelings, I found that this music activates a point of resonance within myself. Upon reflection, I realized what I heard was the hum of the universal experience of the human condition, the clear ring of music that is carefully laid out as a mirror before the soul.
While most of this album is dark, brooding, and edgy, there is a familiar echo in the sonorities that stays with you like a distant, bittersweet, mysterious, but much treasured, memory.
Spoonful of Sugar.......2004-10-07
Shakespeare, for me, is like cough syrup. It's good to have once in a while, but a spoon of it once a year is all you need. Nothing against the Bard, I just wouldn't want him over for my dinner party. But I try to keep an open mind - at least for a few minutes - so I popped the disc into an SACD player and listened.
I heard something new, and something unexpected. Here, the Phoenix Bach Choir doesn't offer some type of trite and foolishly cheerful Renaissance romp, but instead, new settings of old texts.

Customer Reviews:
Beautiful, yet sound poor sound quality........2000-04-10
Personally, I enjoy live recordings of this kind of music. The sound of the guitarrist's breathing and his fingers on the strings give it an intimate quality missing in studio recordings. A sick audience member hacking away with a cough spoils the mood on occassion, and the wild applause hurts my ears after listening to the soft music on headphones. If that annoys you, it might be best to look for a different recording.
TOO MUCH COUGHING on recording with music!!.......1999-05-17
The music is, of course, wonderful but the listener is unable to enjoy the artist on CD 2 because the recording includes CONTINUOUS COUGHING, presumably of someone in the audience (example: CD-2, track 10, 3:16-3:22). I would love to get this recording without the coughing as I have a particular love for some of the pieces.
I have an LP record by MCA of London "Mexicana Segovia" - is this on CD??

You call this electronic? BULL!.......2003-01-26
I think I know what electronic classical music is, considering I made an album called Kulture. This does not sound electronic, if it does, it uses drums = not good. It sounds way too classical.
