Editorial Reviews
Album Description
The music on these CDs takes us into a new realm of music making, one that Alvin Lucier (b. 1931) has defined for us and one that demands that we start to listen anew. His work has been more often described in terms of science than of art as if it were a series of quasi-scientific experiments, but to put the emphasis here is to miss the point, for its purpose is never "explanatory" (the goal of science) but, like all art, "revelatory." This is not to suggest that the composer has some spiritual agenda in the usual sense of this term. On the contrary, it is the physical behavior of sound itself that he so elegantly reveals, each work unveiling an otherwise hidden or ephemeral aspect of aural phenomena and allowing us time to witness its beauty. He achieves this by ruthlessly excluding any trace of self-expression, or indeed anything extraneous to the phenomenon itself.

The Barton Workshop has been the only group to really work closely with Lucier in terms of doing "portraits" of his work (the first in 1995), commissioning new works (40 Rooms, Bar Lazy J, and Q) and performing older/extant pieces. This 2-CD set is the fruit of this long collaborative process.

Album Description

Here, in The Romantic Guitar of Liona Boyd, the loving hands of this renowned classical guitarist interprets some of the most beautiful compositions with the tender touch of a true romantic. The First Lady of the Guitar explores the melodic expressions of romance written by some of the greatest composers of our age, including the prolific and inspired Ms. Boyd herself. We often label this music "easy listening" - but the more astute will consider it rather an example of Liona's tasteful articulation and subtle ear for emotional nuance.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Classical guitar muzak.......2006-05-22

Elevator muzak: soft versions of already soft music, such as showtunes and soundtracks. Just add a dash of classical guitar noodling, and you get this recording.

As a fan and student of classical guitar, I feel this recording does the instrument a disservice.

1 out of 5 stars Liona Boyd meets Lawrence Welk.......2005-12-31

Simply put, it's corny and well below Liona's status. She must have produced this out of demand, from someone! It might as well be a spattering of Liona with Mantovani and Lawrence Welk!

Crank this one up 'til your mobile home rocks!

A Liona Boyd fan - still!

4 out of 5 stars For Your Quiet Evenings........2003-01-23

I've had this album for years and I break it out every now and then. It's a very tasteful album and chock full of good tunes done extremely well by Liona. My favourite is 'Vaya Con Dios'. The piano complements the guitar so well. Give this album a whirl and together with Mancinis' 'As Time Goes By', you never know what'll happen.

5 out of 5 stars Historically significant choral works, wonderfully performed.......2004-05-31

For over 10 years, The VocalEssence Ensemble Singers and Chorus (conducted by Philip Brunelle) has presented an enduring series of concerts showcasing the talents of trailblazing African American composers. Now this wealth of music is available outside the concert hall through a series of recordings called WITNESS.

DANCE LIKE THE WIND presents works by eight African American composers from various generations, though they all emerged after the neo-classical period of non-discrimination. You'll hear loyalty to classic idioms like the spirituals and blues, but also elements of more recent genres like R&B, gospel and rap. Enclosed are excellent liner notes and biographical information.

The other three CDs are available as single titles, or in the boxed set entitled THE WITNESS COLLECTION which includes:

WHAT A MIGHTY GOD: Spirituals and Gospels for Chorus
GOT THE SAINT LOUIS BLUES: Classical Music in the Jazz Age
SKYWARD MY PEOPLE ROSE: Music of William Grant Still

5 out of 5 stars It's Not What You Might Think!.......2000-02-05

This CD contains incredible music that is not "Shakespearian" in nature--none of those funny out of tune viols, recorders, etc. Renaissance instruments here! I was very pleasantly surprised. This is very melodic, lyrical, rhythmical, and dramatic music that can soothe the heart and excite the soul. A great listening experience and a must for any serious collector of music !

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Good performance of good music.......2002-04-05

I find less to criticize than others in this music and performance. If you know MacDowell, you know the kinds of things to expect from these songs. Not great music, but still beautiful genteel songs. MacDowell lets the lyricism flow smoothly. Most of the songs float along in the 6/8 rhythm MacDowell used so often. Concentrating on the melodic line, some of the occasional awkwardly thorny harmonies you can find in his miniatures fade into the background. Indeed, some may think the piano is too far in the background here. Too bad, because the late James Barbagallo obviously had quite a gift for MacDowell interpretation. Check out his recordings of MacDowell's solo piano works. What of tenor Tharp? Some may find his voice a little too thin, with a bit too much vibrato. But I say the songs are well sung regardless. Maybe the problem is that the songs really required a woman's voice. But what's done is done. These complete songs needed to be recorded, and this performance quite adequate, reservations notwithstanding. Over all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this recording.

2 out of 5 stars Tepid music, tepid performances.......2000-03-26

I'm sorry to have to say it, but this recording contains music that is undistinguished in performances that are competent only. The music is Grieg-and-water. The American tenor's voice is light-weight and charmless. The pianist is excellent. You can't beat the price, though, if you really want to hear this repertoire.

      5 out of 5 stars "must have compilation for film buffs".......2000-11-24

      Milan Records celebrates the history of popular cinema with a 2-CD anthology of the music that drove the most affectionately remembered films of the modern cinematic era. These indelible musical impressions come courtesy of the most renowned film score composers of our time - Maurice Jarre, Max Steiner, Hans Zimmer, James Horner, Ennio Morricone, Bernard Herrmann, Randy Edelman and Henry Mancini.

      Released into two general categories, the album presents moments from films of "Love, Passion & Comedy", on disc one - gives us the most powerful classic love themes from "WEST SIDE STORY", "DR. ZHIVAGO" and "LOVE STORY", and features newer classics from "TITANIC", "THE TRUMAN SHOW", "UNCHAINED MELODY" and on the lighter side "A FISH CALLED WANDA", "BENNY & JOON" and one of the most familiar themes ever written "THE PINK PANTHER" from legendary icon Henry Mancini.

      On disc two "ACTION, ADVENTURE & SUSPENSE", includes themes from Alfred Hitchcock's landmark films "NORTH BY NORTHWEST" and the absolutely unforgettable "PSYCHO" finale...then the greatest action hero of all time leads off with Monty Norman's "JAMES BOND THEME", and action cues from "BACKDRAFT" and "SPEED"...next up the Academy Award winning theme from "THE LAST EMPEROR" and "GETTYSBURG" main title, one of the best-selling score CD's of all time.

      A must have for "movie-music" collectors and film buffs, including music lovers and anyone who really enjoys a little nostalgia now and then...thank you Milan for this trip down memory lane and the amazing legacy of 20th Century Cinema!

      All of Kim's music is beautiful, but her compositions "Bittersweet" I and II, and the traditional "Aran Boat Song" are my favorites and make this one of the few collections of music I won't be without. I was lucky enough to come across Kim Robertson playing in a coffee house near the UC Santa Barbara campus back in my college days, and bought "Wind Shadows" on cassette when it first came out. I took the cassette with me when I went through Army basic training, way back in 1984, where I gave it to a fellow soldier who fell in love with Kim's music. I've gone through 3 cassettes that way and now have the CD. Thankfully, Kim's music is easily available these days and I just order a CD as a special gift or point folks towards Kim's site (or Amazon) and keep my copy for myself! :-)

      5 out of 5 stars Wind Shadows just as great as Water Spirit.......1999-03-08

      I have this and Water Spirit and Angels in Disguise for many years on cassette and never tire of them. My baby son was soothed by this music and still at the age of 4 loves it at his bedtime. True Celtic heavenly music, great for meditation healing and nurturing. I just wish I could order a new copy of Water Spirit as well.

      5 out of 5 stars Hearing this album made me fall in love with harp music........1999-01-09

      Put this music on, and all your cares will drain away as your mind floats on the sounds Kim's tender melodies. Close your eyes, and drift over the Irish fields of clover in Springtime, or across the rocky shoreline of Scotland, or just the imagined world of your dreams. Listen to this music, and dream.

      Customer Reviews:

      5 out of 5 stars Relaxing Melodies and More -- from Liona Boyd.......2001-06-06

      Liona Boyd's talents as composer and performer are superbly demonstrated on this album. (Liona wrote seven out of the sixteen classical guitar pieces on Passport To Serenity). Liona's "Lullaby for My Love" and "Shadows of the Wind" are beautifully written and played. Listen to Liona's interpretation of Erik Satie's "Gymnopedie #1". I highly recommend this wonderful CD.
