Raise the Titanic

Search: Business
by: John Barry

Release Date September 21, 1999
This is just one of many of John Barry's soundtracks I have in my collection.

After seeing the film I started looking for the soundtrack, I hunted for this for years, but they finally released it in 2002.

I play this often as the original movie score is fantastic, I just wish they'd release as sheet music. :-)

Dove - Flight

Search: Business
by: London Philharmonic Orchestra

Release Date April 05, 2004
There has been much comment on what makes a modern opera, and if this particular work fulfils the 'Opera' criteria. This is a fantastic way for many to approach opera, and it has just finished it's second Glyndebourne run. This recording is first rate and greatly benefits from the live performance. The countertenor singing of Chris Robson is 'alien' as this role intends and at times extremely touching. The controller role is a tour de force, and sung with ease by Clarron McFaddon. She scales a sonic f with ease! Nualla Willis is splendid and at times her sound is confused with Mr Robsons, further displaying that she also is an outsider. The relationship of Tina and Bill (Mary Plazas & Coxon) is beautifully sung and realised. Plazas's singing ... Read More:

Queen of the Blues Vol.1

Search: Business
by: Bessie Smith

Release Date February 12, 2007
This first volume of JSP's set of Bessie Smith's complete recorded output covers the period from her first surviving session to 25th October 1926. Aternate takes are not included (they are in Volume 2) but what we have is quite superb. As well as being arguably the greatest of the classic blues singers, Bessie was also the most consistent and none of the 90 tracks is dud.

The remastering has been brilliantly done and the result has great clarity and presence - even in the accoustic recordings. By comparison, the Columbia reissues sound distinctly muddy and in my opinion this JSP issue is now the one to go for.

A superb issue that will give a lifetime's pleasure.
