Of course everyone has personal favourites amongst the G & S recorded repertoire and certainly for me PRINCESS IDA is far more immediate, far better paced, in the 1953 recording, but suffers from an ageing Victoria Sladen in the title role. The 1965 recording presented here, has the advantage of Elizabeth Harwood and also the young Valerie Masterson making her recording debut as Melissa. John Reed as King Gama is remarkably subdued for him, but then he has little to do and the lack of dialogue deprives him of much of his vehicle. Kenneth Sandford however, turns in a wonderful King Hildebrand. Hilarion (Philip Potter) and his friends have great fun in Act Two and the second act finale is a highlight. Sir ...

Boyce: Solomonfrom: Hyperion December 31, 1993 Search: Invaders |

The conductor of this disc describes it as "the composer's masterpiece." As I do not know all of Boyce's ouevre I have no way of judging if he is right, but Solomon certainly is a masterpiece. The text derives from the Song of Solomon, but librettist and composer place it frimly in the then-new tradition of the English Pastorale. There is even a suggestion of the four seasons passing siting the work firmly somewhere between Handel's Acis and Galatea and Haydn's The Seasons.
But that gives no idea of the charm of the music. Boyce always has a gift for melody, but here, drawing on an inspiration that often recalls Purcell, he outdoes himself. The climax of the score is an exquisite painting of summer with baroque bassoon accompanied by shimmering ... Read More: >>More Details |

Folklore Aus der Ukraineby: Ukraine Search: Invaders |

If you want a taste of the "black soil" of genuine Ukrainian folk music, this is the CD to get. If you want to hear this music in highly artistic performances, this is also IT. In the accompanying leaflet, Catherine Azad, the researcher and producer of the recording, writes: "The first time I heard a group of women singing in the Ukrainian countryside was a real shock for me". Having even heard some Ukrainian folk songs sung in live performances by classically trained singers, I can put myself in her shoes hearing this CD, even though the sound quality may not be great due to the circumstances under which the recordings had to be made, and even though intonation may not be perfect in all cases, especially when the songs are sung by ...
