Melchior, Flagstad, the Engineers and ?Edwin McArthur.......2000-03-15
There is not one much needs to add to Philip's pithy review of this quite exceptional disc except perhaps to admit to some ignorance. Yes, one expects greatness with Melchior and Flagstad, who are both - as Philip notes - brought magnificently into living presence by the superb sonic engineering (the other obvious star of this production), however, I really hadn't heard of the conductor for a few of the tracks, Edwin McArthur. Listening to Melchior's effortless and heroic singing and the sublime beauty and power of Flagstad one is apt to think that any conductor might do! But to get an idea of the superb touch of McArthur compare the aching, almost unbearable (if I can use that oddly negative term) welling towards the climax in the first part of "O sink herneider" and compare it to any other famous recording by other conductors (including the many with stellar singers - even these two separately). I have compared it with the over a dozen different versions and none can match the emotional intensity (the negative of this, of course, is that the comparison has put me off several versions of Tristan and Isolde in my collection!). Excuse the indulgence, but in a collection of several thousand CDs, this is an easy choice as my favourite... A six-starrer if ever there was one!
So buy two, one to keep and one for a friend!
Regards
Greg Ellis END

Album Description
With an honest, authentic approach complimenting her warm melodic voice, Gretchen Richie leaves the vocal histronics behind, again proving less-is-more. Her natural, clean style easily swings in the union of lyric and music. Categorized as acoustic classic jazz, this is romantic music artfully crafted by such writers as George & Ira Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart, Johnny Mercer, Cole Porter and Harold Arlen.Uncluttered, tasteful arrangements compliment Gretchen's unaffected manner. The recording's trio of outstanding musicians includes sensitive piano accompaniment by Randy Richie, Bill Hones on bass, and Howard Kadison on drums. Finger-snapping swing numbers like "A Foggy Day" and "Close Your Eyes" as well as her sassy "I Was A Little Too Lonely" are paired with wistful ballads such as "I Remember You", "Fools Rush In" and the poignant "But Not For Me" and "Little Girl Blue".
Recorded at Grammy Award-winning Bias Studios, the recording's sound fidelity is high quality and easy on the ears.

Album Description
Glenn Strauss is a native Texan with a diverse musical background including solo instrumental, jazz, symphonic, and studio recording work. He has studied classical guitar under the direction of Mr. Frank Kimlicko (a personal friend and student of Maestro Pepe Romero) and has participated in master classes by Christopher Parkening, Elliott Fisk, and Jaume Torrent.The artist brings a unique sensitivity to his music from his missionary experiences with the people of Latin America as an accomplished eye surgeon. He has personally shared in their tragedy and their joyfulness - moods that this folk-based repertoire so beautifilly expresses. This is music that puts real life into the beauty of a song.
Dr. Strauss lives with his wife of 25 years in Tyler, Texas. They have four children and one grandchild. The art work on the CD cover was the gift of a friend who did the sketch for the portrait during a concert. It was given out of appreciation for the Christian influence the artist has had in his life. "Encanto de la Cancion" was recorded, mixed, and mastered at WindWord studios in Tyler, Texas by Mr. Alex Blair.
