1.Boulez: Marteau Sans Maitres Notations by: Boulez, Ensemble Intercontemporian November 04, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.86
It's perhaps astonishing to realise that Pierre Boulez started work on Le Marteau sans maitre exactly half a century ago. This piece has so often been identified as its composer's masterpiece that it's perhaps easy to forget how young he was when he wrote it--and also how rarely it is performed these days. Marteau is sort-of-song cycle based around three poems by the French surrealist Rene Char that combine a directness of imagery with a somewhat obscure overall meaning. Boulez, though, expands these three poems into nine movements overall: L'Artisanat furieux (movement 3) also has a double-speed prologue (movement 1) and a double-speed epilogue (movement 7), Bourreaux de solitude (movement 6) has three 'commentaries' (movements 2, 4, and 8) and Bel Edifice et les pressentiments ...

3.Daniel Taylor - On The Muse's Isle (Vocal and Instrumental Works of Henry Purcell) by: Henry Purcell, Daniel Taylor, Da Sonar, Susan Napper, Chantal Remillard, Sylvain Bergeron, Rejean Poirier, Margaret Little, Christine Moran November 10, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $10.46
As far as my personal opinion goes, Daniel Taylor is everything I want in a countertenor. His singing combines a naturally sounding tone, a comfortably wide range, and an uncanny ability to convey emotion. Critics occasionally fault him for not being more dramatic (see, e.g., the editorial review on this page), but to me, Taylor's subtle tools of expression are much more appealing than the more overtly operatic style of some other countertenors. Besides, the absence of operatic drama is irrelevant when it comes to a disc like this one. This CD collects several lyrical (or even melancholy) pieces by Henry Purcell. Taylor's subtlety works very well in this selection. Two pieces are absolute gems: An Evening Hymn (a remarkable combination of a treble-like sound and a mature eloquence), ... Read More

4.As It Is, As It Was: Best Of Candlemass by: Candlemass November 21, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $68.94
I am not really a fan of Candlemass, but this collection is just perfect for my taste. It's like exactly all my favourite tracks of this band are in there - no extras and none missing. Actually I feel very rarely like that about collections, "Best of"'s and "Greatest Hits"'s. Just this one is perfect pick.

5.Saxophone Music of M. Zachary Johnson -- Live at Steinway Hall by: Elizabeth Wolynec Brian Horner, Javier Oviedo, Eric Osman, Christina Kyle Adams, M. Zachary Johnson, The Mannes Saxophone Quartet July 04, 2006

6.The James Bowman Collection / Bowman, The King's Consort from: Hyperion UK May 21, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $12.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.97
An article title about James Bowman said "A singer in high places" - and it's so true. James Bowman is a great singer, and one of my favourite performers. One can listen to his CDs over and over again, without tiring. He feels at home in both English songs and other languages. This CD is a "summary" of some other collection CDs of him. ýIN SHORT: Good buy for lovers of vocal music, or the baroque and classical. If you don't know his singing, you're missing a lot, and this CD is a great start.

8.Anne Sofie von Otter - Lamenti (Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Purcell, Bertali, Legrenzi) / Goebel by: Claudio Monteverdi, Antonio Bertali, Giovanni Legrenzi, Antonio Vivaldi, Henry Purcell, Alessandro Piccinini, Anne-Sofie von Otter, Musica Antiqua Köln, Reinhard Goebel, Jakob Lindberg, Markus Mollenbeck, Franz-Josef Selig October 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.91
Sumptuous. Absolutly. There isn't a single flaw in this CD. Van Otter is--Von Otter. She sings in the early style for this CD. Sometimes Mr. Goebel gets carried away with himself. I have found his CD's to be hits and misses. But on this CD Mr. Goebel splits the arrow already on the bullseye. Perhaps age and maturity have given Mr. Goebel the confiedence to hold back a bit and let the music grab the listener's attention rather than shake up the early music orchesta pit. This CD seduces you. Who would have thought such tenderness from one of the bad boys of the Early Music Movement. It is Goebel at his best: scholarship with musicianship. This CD must be saved from World War III. It is a fine example of the best of humans.
