Mozart - The Marriage of Figaro

Search: Surrender
by: Philharmonia Orchestra, Geoffrey Mitchell Choir

Release Date August 09, 2004
It does take a while to get used to the English singing, but it also really helps to get the jokes across. I was splitting my sides when I first listened to it, there are some real gems in this translation (A prime example being in the middle of Susanna and Marcellina's duet as they exchange insults: 'Your quality/ Your quantity').

The conducting is wonderful, always taken at a brilliant pace by that great Mozartian David Parry. The cast are spot on, the only real exception being Yvonne Kenny's Countess (a good voice, just a bit too much vibrato here). I especially love Christopher Purves' Figaro, William Dazeley's Count, Jonathan Veira's Bartolo, John Graham Hall's Basilio and Sarah Tynan's Barbarina. Purves is perfect in his role; ... Read More:

Anjunabeats Volume Two

Search: Surrender
by: Various Artists

Release Date September 20, 2004
Volume two of this stellar series of mixed compilations is a lesson in melody. Steering clear of the path trodden by many a three-chord trance charlatan, Anjunabeats is a testament to what can be done with an otherwise stale genre.

It’s not hard to comprehend why the big boys (Oakenfold et al) are praising Above and Beyond so highly, as this cd takes you on a mesmerising, intensely beautiful 70 or so minute voyage of discovery.

Highlights include the subtle atmospherics of Smith & Pledger – Forever, Gabriel & Dresden fiery-prog take of Above & Beyond - No One On Earth and the haunting vocal infested, Fender-Rhodes piano riffing P.O.S – Gravity coupled with Super8’s driving - Cre8.
