Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress

Search: Farewell
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.

A Dave Brubeck Christmas [CASSETTE]

Search: Farewell
by: Dave Brubeck

Release Date October 15, 1996
This is the one to play when you need a little holiday peace and joy. Put the kids to bed, fix yourself a hot cocoa and settle in for an hour to get centered again with this wonderful CD. I own a lot of Christmas music, but this seems to be the one I turn to again and again - it's nostalgic, joyful, exuberant and peaceful, all at the same time -- just like Dave Brubeck himself. You'll see what I mean when you first play it: it's magic.

Coleridge-Taylor: The Song of Hiawatha / Symphonic Variations on an African Air

Search: Farewell
by: Orchestra and Chorus of Welsh National Opera

Release Date November 11, 2002
Whatever it was that drew you to check out Coleridge-taylor's Hiawatha, I am so pleased that you are. This is a wonderful production. In fact its the only recording of the complete work and the Welsh National Opera do a grand job. This was the piece that launched Coleridge-Taylor to international superstardom overnight. He has, rather unkindly, been referred to as a 'one-hit wonder' - well this was the 'hit' they were referring to. It was the centrepiece of the Royal Albert Hall's summer programme between the wars. Coleridge-Taylor (a founding member of the Pan-African Movement)was born in England to a white English mother and black African father (in 1875) and was later inspired by African American Spiritual music. Hiawatha is an epic journey ... Read More:
