World of Britten

Search: Sea Shanty
from: Decca

Release Date February 02, 1993
Nearly all the pieces contained on this disc feature Britten himself, either conducting or in some other performing/ supervisory capacity. In addition, Decca producer John Culshaw's far-sightedness in recording works in stereo way back in the early 1950s means the label possesses a formidable array of gorgeously preserved and authoritative readings of Britten pieces, many of which have been cherry-picked to form this delightful entry into his world. Two popular orchestral pieces, The Young Person's Guide... and Simple Symphony, are included in their entirety (in what can for once be described in that oft-misused term, as 'definitive' recordings) and there are good, representative excerpts from several Britten operas, folksong arrangements and ...

Circus Maximus

Search: Sea Shanty
by: Jerry Jeff Walker

Release Date July 27, 1998
Nope, I had never heard of them either. I only ordered it because I liked the look of the guys on the cover, especially the slightly twisted grin of the chap at the top left and the manic eyes of the guy below him. It was released in 1967 and no guesses what the band has been up to. There are jangling Byrds folk guitars, Jefferson Airplane style harmonies and melodies, and an occasional dollop of unabashed fuzz. It swings from the edges of garage snarl to mellow folk. Sound good? It is. The lyrics have the odd moment of cleverness and most have survived the journey into this age of endless irony and cynicism rather well considering. There are no tedious long free-form freak-outs that can mar similar period albums, and the whole thing is entertaining ... Read More:
