GIUSEPPE DI STEFANO--VOL. 1 & 2 NEAPOLITAN SONGS.......2005-07-29

WONDERFUL MUSIC--MAKES ME THINK OF WALKING THE STREETS OF NAPLES AND LISTENING TO MY FATHER SING TO ME. ONE CAN CLOSE THEIR YES AND THINK OF SITTING IN A RESTAURANT OR SIDEWALK CAFE AND BEING SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL ITALIAN PEOPLE.
LOVELY SONGS SUNG BEAUTIFULLY

The finest available!.......2002-08-29

For connoisseurs of Neapolian songs, these discs from Testament are golden, and no one sings these songs better than di Stefano. He has the charm and style in his delivery as few others have.
After hearing him in these songs, others may sound like mere pretenders. I can't recommend this disc highly enough if you like great singing and canzoni Napoli.

Pippo's Biggest Fan.......2000-08-26

Now this is what I would call one beautiful CD.It shows that Pippo was the greatest tenor in the world during his reign.His voice is extremely beautiful and the warmth and emotionalism are incredible.I listen to his " Non T'amo Piu " endlessly.You just can't find singing like Pippo at his best even going back to Gigli.This CD is a must have for anyone even remotely interested in classical tenor voices.They don't meke them like Pippo anymore and fortunately his voice and style of singing will live forever with his many recordings.Do yourselves a big favor and buy this one.

Major Triumph For This Orchestra Star.......2004-03-27

There is so much in the symphony reportoire which depends on a great, solid EH artist. None quite like the exceptional Thomas Stacy of the NY Philharmonic.

Here he delights with three concertos written for him and his instrument. Each different and adding to the growing collection of works for this solo workhorse.

Rorem's Concerto is just outstanding, especially the 2nd Movement named Love Letter and 3rd named: Recurring Dream. Its sonorous overtones are well suited for the EH, backed by nicely balanced orchestration of lilty, floating horns, strings, flute.

Persichetti's Concerto for EH and String Orchestra is directed again for Stacy's talents and showcases them magnificently. An opener of fantasia is followed by the robust second "Amabile" which bustles and rustles with circulating lightness into the "Butterfly Song." The third move is a favorite of the CD, Spiritoso which zooms and shifts gears allowing Stacy to enter and exit from and around the strings, emanating a dancelike finish.

Hodkinson ventures into the unknown. Imagine, electrified English Horn with reverb, modulation. Perfect for a piece meant to resemble mind journey... meandering, then clear, then muddled and complexed, then darting. Tedious at points. Eruptive. Gradually moves to bursts where we can identify this is really English Horn distorted sounds. Least of the three for me.

A great edition to any double reed player's library!!.......1999-03-14

Tom Stacy is one of the foremost English Hornist of our time.He has more than 50 solo performances with the New york Philharmonic, and other major orchestras around the country.This CD shows both Tom's technical mastery of the instrument, and his sensitive musicality. The CD also demonstrates three comtemporary composers at there best.

FANTASTIC-ONE OF MY FAVORITES.......2004-06-23

A helpful man at a record store which shall remain unnamed recommended this Grammy-winning album to me--I had never heard of the artist before.

From the first listen, I was transported, moving and grooving in my seat as I floated along to the rich, sensual lyrics. I have listened to the album over 50 times now and never tire of the lead singer's rich, relaxing voice, and the depth of musical innovation. After the album is over, I am unfailingly in a sunny mood, grooving along to the neo-bossa nova beat in my mind.

The mastery of Machaut.......2006-08-28

Guillaume de Machaut (c.1300-1377) was the greatest composer of the 14th century, and was notable for composing "La Messe de Notre Dame" - the first mass that was entirely attributed to one composer.

Here we have the 23 motets of Machaut. Machaut's motets, like those from others in the medieval period, are usually written in three parts:

1). The tenor: the lowest voice, which usually sings a simple, short text, with very long duration given to each syllable, similar to that of plainchant, sung slowly
2). The duplum or motetus: the middle voice, which sings a separate text. This text usually takes the form of a poem, and is more ornamented than the tenor
3). The triplum: the highest voice, which sings its own text in a highly ornamented style

Machaut's motets follow the principle of isorhythm. In essence, this means that the tenor part is repeated multiple times using the same rhythm, but the proportion of the rhythm can be altered in each repetition.

Sounds pretty complicated, doesn't it? Well, it is, and it isn't. It is complicated in the sense that three separate texts, written in old French or Latin, are sung simultaneously. Some of the motets even combine the two languages together! But the underlying beauty of Machaut melodies often beguiles the ear, making you forget all of that is taking place. However, as I have listened to the motets repeatedly, I have come to appreciate how the intricate duplum and triplum voices play off one another and contrast against the unornamented tenor line. This music really is amazing and Machaut clearly was a master. I think certain of the motets are immediately appealing for their melancholy beauty (tracks 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 on disc one, and tracks 4, 5, 11, 12 and 15 on disc two). Other tracks require more attention. Accordingly, this is a release to listen to multiple times, and in chunks. It's a bit much to fully process this music in one sitting!

The performance by Ensemble Musica Nova is outstanding, and the sound is very clear. It is evident that a lot of research went into this recording, and that great care was taken to provide the listener with an authentic experience. It should be noted that in contrast to the choral music of the Renaissance, the different voices of the ensemble do not combine to create a unified sound. Each voice is distinct, and is readily identifiable. In this performance, several of the motets are accompanied by Medieval instruments (viele, flute a bec, harp and drum), while others are purely choral. Multiple versions of certain of the motets are included. For instance, Motet 17 is presented in both an instrumental and choral version. The program notes are extremely detailed, with the original texts and English translations of the motets included.

I suspect this package will prove irrestiable to fans of medieval music, and this set can be enthusiastically recommended to that crowd. For those new to medieval music, I would recommend starting with a recording of "La Messe de Notre Dame" to get warmed up to the style. But if you are looking for a copy of Machaut's motets - this outstanding version is the one to get!

A landmark recording of Machaut's music.......2005-07-20

Machaut was born around 1300, presumably in Machaut, a village northwest of Reims. At the end of his life, poet and composer Guillaume de Machaut closely supervised the illumination of the manuscripts with his compositions. Most of these books containing an extraordinary variety of lavish miniatures can be found in the National Library of Paris. It appears that Machaut had his eye on prosterity in zealously collecting together his complete works in a manner unheard of amongst Medieval composers. The earliest of his motets can be dated to 1324. Many of them mix Latin and French texts in different voices though some are entirely in either French or Latin. In total 23 motets have been handed down to prosterity, nearly all of them are isorhythmic and they are all recorded here complete for the first time.

The Ensemble Musica Nova are part of the lively French early music scene with all of its greater expressive vibrancy and passion, that constrast markedly to the often chilly and reserved English performances. To add to the variety even more, the motets are played interspersed with alternative surviving instrumental dimunitions of the same motets that enrichen the musical experience greatly. Those accumstomed to the puritanically bland early music performances by English groups will find the results from this French group revelatory, with their exhibition of a far fuller palette of colour that recalls those rich illuminations that decorate his manuscripts. All of this helps to present a far more vigorous case for Machaut as one of the turly great composers of Western music.

The completeness and authoritativeness of the performances further extends to the use of period French pronounciation in the performances. All in all this has to be regarded as a benchmark recording for these works by a group who demonstrate deep dedication to this great composer.

Another strong added attraction of the CD is the audiophile grade quality of the recorded sound. There is good air around voices and instruments with nice spacial resolution/sound staging with voice/instrumental timbre being captured vividly. Furthermore the documentation in the cover booklet is exceptionally thorough in its discussion and documentation of textual sources, performance practice and musicological background. An additional booklet in the box provides full texts. This is another case of a lovely boutique independent recording company successfully producing a CD whose artistic and technical standards runs rings around the majors. It certainly raises great interest in the other releases by Zig Zig Territoires. Even the cover art epitomises French chic at its best.

Quite deservedly, this CD was decorated with the Diapason d'Or and the Choc de l'année 2003 - in this repetoire awards I take immeasurably more notice of than Gramophone which would have awarded it a Recording of the Year if the composer and performers were English! David Vernier for Classicstoday gave it a 10/10 review and for once I pretty much agree.

An essential CD set of music of the Ars Nova. Definitely one to grab while you can - you will be kicking yourself if you miss this one.

What Bossa Really Used to Be.......2006-11-03

Here it is, folks. Carioca da Gema! Menescal, one of Bossa's originals (Remember "Oh Barquino"?) plus one of Bossa's acolytes who carries on the tradition, Wanda Sa. I take special trips down to Rio just to hear those two. The next best thing is this CD. A must for serious Bossa nova collectors.

The Classics Made New Again!.......2005-11-30

STUNNING! They put the Nova in "Bossa Nova!" Because each track is actually of a medley of Bossa classics, the track listing above does not do this CD justice. Not to be missed: a brilliant rendition of "O Pato," at the end of the "So Danco Samba" track, complete with the Brazillian Portuguese version of quacking. (It sounds something like "quay, quay!")

Wanda Sa is Marvelous!.......2001-05-09

This is great Bossa Nova. The guitar and vocal work of Menescal are a delight. Wanda Sa's phrasing and vocal quality are impeccable...and gorgeous.

Bossa Nova at its best.......2000-07-18

Wanda is one of the better singers of Bossa Nova and on this CD she is obviously having a lot of fun. Here you will not find the American imitations. Here you will find the light yet complex sound of Brazil

A delight for lovers of acoustic Bossa Nova and samba.......1999-07-12

Roberto Menescal, a pioneer composer and performer of Bossa Nova, and his long-time partner Wanda Sa, offer a delightful selection of classic Brazilian jazz selections including some of Menescal's well-known compositions and those of the "grand master", Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim. Their guitars and voices blend wonderfully and create the light, breezy familiar style that has become their trademark. I have had the privlege of seeing and hearing them live and meeting them personally and I have found that the genuine warmth, Brazilian passion and friendliness they showed to me is conveyed effectively through their music. Though well-known in Brazil, many international audiences, especially in the U.S., Europe and Asia are only now discovering one of Brazil's greatest musical national treasures. Listen once, and you too will know that you have found something very special.

Individual songs here are refreshing in that they are not the same 20 bossa nova classics we've been hearing for the last 40 years, however, as a collection this album feels really light. OK, for bubble-gum background music; not great for serious listening.
