Morimur
In 1994, explains the booklet which accompanies Morimur, Professor Helga Thoene made the surprising discovery that the monumental Ciaccona from Bach's Partita in D minor for solo violin was built around various chorale themes hidden in the music. From the texts of these "secret" chorales and other symbolic musical devices, she deduced that the Ciaccona was an epitaph for Bach's wife, Maria Barbara. The revelation might have remained an intriguing (and touching) footnote to Bach scholarshiVoici un disque très original comme ECM en propose souvent. Il illustre des écrits de la musicologue Helga Thoene sur les Sonates et Partitas pour violon seul de Bach et sur la Chaconne de la Partita en ré. Selon, elle, ces pièces reposeraient sur des chorals (les chants de l'église luthérienne) et recèleraient ainsi des messages cachés. La célèbre Chaconne, basée sur le choral "Christ lag in Todesbanden" serait en particulier un hommage à la p Read More »

You might expect that Pärt's meditative, detached style--with little distinction between consonance and dissonance or overt emotion--wouldn't wear well through a 70-minute Passion in Latin without even a break between tracks. (There's only one.) The roles are distinguished only by scoring: the Evangelist's narration is taken by four singers and a few instruments in various combinations; Pilate is a deliberate tenor; Jesus, a cavernous bass singing very slowly. However, if you listen calml Read More »

When it comes to Mozart, Uchida is an unabashed--some would say incorrigible--romantic. But while she can occasionally sound capricious in matters of pacing, articulation, and dynamics, her instincts almost always lead in a felicitous direction. Such is the case with these accounts of the sonatas, recorded between 1983 and 1987. Uchida's approach is unfailingly lyrical, her touch gentle, her tone limpid and bright. Her manner, from one work to the next, may be somewhat undifferentiated, but ther Read More »

The inspiration for Ludovico Einaudi's I Giorni was a 12th-century folk song from Mali about a hippopotamus who was cherished by the residents of a nearby village but killed by a hunter. "The song," writes Einaudi in his succinct liner note, "is sung as a lament for the death of a king or a great person or for the loss of a loved one." The result is a tender and introspective set of 14 piano pieces, performed on this recording by the composer himself. I Giorni comes hot on the Read More »| 5 star: | (3) | |

| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful This review is from: "Pavarotti & Friends Collection: The Complete Concerts, 1992-2000 (Full Screen/Widescreen) [4 Discs]" (DVD) Our world is a difficult place to live, out there are a lot of countries with endless wars and endless hungied kids.After 1992, Lucciano Pavarotti conceived a noble idea: "What if many artist around the world would reunited to make a great event and all the earnings of the events goes directly to those people that need help?","What is we make this event every year with diferent artists and singers?" , that's how "Pavarotti & Friends" became a reality. No, this is not an opera compilation from Pavarotti, in this collection you can enjoy artists like U2, Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran), Michael Bolton, Dolores O'Riordan (Cranberries), Ricky Martin, Brian Adams, and a long etcetera making their best, and bringing their greatest hits; also, you can enjoy ensembles like Simon Le Bon and Lucciano Pavarotti singing together "Ordinary World", or Dolores O'Riordan and Simon singing together "Linger", or what do you think about Pavarotti,...

Read More »| By "gretlcello" (middle of Kansas) - See all my reviews Ce commentaire est de: Imagine: Music Of The Beatles (Audio CD) The Beatles and Ofra Harnoy! The best of both worlds! What more could you ask for? A friend gave me this CD, and I have enjoyed listening to this right before bedtime every night. Ms. Harnoy, I applaud you for making some of the finest renditions of my favorite Beatles tunes. If you're a semi-professional classical musician like me and you don't have this in your CD collection, you're missing out--Big Time!!! 5 + stars for a wonderful CD!!!! By A Customer Ce commentaire est de: Imagine: Music Of The Beatles (Audio CD) Before you write this off as another attempt to "muzak" the Beatles, listen to Harnoy's lovely playing on "She's Leaving Home," "Across The Universe" and "Girl" and see if you still feel that way once you've heard them. A great set of interpretations by a most evocative cellist. By Tom MacGowan (Spring Lake, N.J., U.S.A) - See all my reviews Ce commentaire est de: Imagine: Music Of The Beatles (Audio CD) I always felt that if an artist is going to cover another artist's music they should either improve on the original or do it differently but tastefully. Rarely have I heard Beatle songs that accomplished that. Among the few Beatle covers I do think accomplished that are Judy Collins 'In My Life', Joe Cocker's 'With a Little Help From My Friends',Ray Charles' 'Yesterday' and a couple of the tracks on George Martin's recent release 'In My Life'. Unfortunatly most of the cuts are silly and an embarrassment to Mr Martin but I have to think that he was induldging his friends on many of the tracks letting non singers e.g,Goldie Hawn, Robin Williams, Jim Carey, sing. Outstanding are two instumentals with guitarist John Williams covering 'Here Comes the Sun' and violinist Vanessa Mae with as probably as beautiful a version of 'Because' as the original. Three or four other tracks are fair with the rest for the garbage heap. One more cover comes to mind, Linda Ronstadt's 'Goodnight', from her... Read more |
