Women and Children Die First

Search: Cold
by: Remembering Never

Release Date March 29, 2004
This album reflects heavily on personal matters such as religion, the decievment of lying and broken love. The band reflect on these matters through intense chords, breakdowns and constant structure change which may leave the listener a little confused to start with...However,do not give up hope with this album. I personally listened to it for a few weeks then threw it on the pile UNTIL i sat down read the lyrics and for me this showed much more direction throughout the songs, as if a different chord progression represents a more personal matter of hatred or anger.

''No one to pull me under, this time im pulling through''

The basis of the songs is represented in a postive way, ie, it will leave the listener feeling confident ... Read More:

Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress

Search: Cold
from: DG

Release Date August 09, 1999
This set captures such excellent, vivid and clear performances that the story leaps out by just listening. You won't really even need to follow the printed libretto. Every single character is perfectly sung and the orchestra and conductor are in top form. The whole thing brims with wit and charm making it very very enjoyable. I have listened to it several times already.

Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress

Search: Cold
by: Philip Langridge Cathryn Pope Samuel Ramey London Sinfonietta Riccardo Chailly

Release Date October 17, 2005
Well, it depends what you want from a Rake whether this is the recording for you. Conducting, orchestra and some of the cast are superb. Sarah Walker's Baba is the best you'll find and Sam Ramey is in fine, though rather inexpressive voice as Shadow. Terfel is by far the more interesting interpreter but his voice either shouts or whispers with nothing in-between. His interpretation is unrealistic theatrically too and makes his difficult to bear repeated listening. I don't warm to Pope's rather lumpy Anne on this recording and she doesn't compare to Upshaw's glorious singing for Nagano but still better than the undernourished sound of York for Gardener. Langridge sings beautifully often, strains at other times (there is no rake who doesn't), is occassionally ... Read More:

Tippett: Vocal Music

Search: Cold
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 14, 2005
I have chosen to review this set as it would appear to be the only way now left by which to acquire the sublime Byzantium, as performed by Solti, the Chicago Symphony and the majectic Faye Robinson.

The first disc comprises Tippett songs which I am in no position to comment on as they are some of the few Tippett items I do not own and know. A situation I will most certainly remedy.

The second disc gives us A Child of our Time, probably Tippett's most popular and performed work. Ironically so in my opinion because this is representative of the earliest era of Tippett's career when arguably he had yet to find the utterly distinctive voice and commence the journey to the most refined individuality that would eventually define him.
