Osvaldo Golijov: Ainadamar
Osvaldo Golijov, Robert Spano, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

Keeping Lorca Alive
This is a very remarkable opera -the first one- by Osvaldo Golijov. Ainadamar means 'fountain of tears' in Arabic, and it is also the name of an ancient well near Granada, where the poet Federico García Lorca was killed by the fascists in 1936, at the beginning of the ...
  
  











  



  
Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5/Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
Vaughan Williams, Robert Spano, ...

Telarc, 2007

RVW's 5th + Spano + Atlanta = Such Music, of Immortal Soul
This super audio disc in multi-channel splendor is a fine thing. Briefly, the disc starts off with the choir intoning the old Tallis hymn setting upon whose melody the RVW Tallis Fantasia is built. Then we get the full fantasia proper, scored for a kaleidoscope ...
  
  











  



  
Vaughan Williams: A Sea Symphony
Ralph Vaughan Williams, Robert Spano, ...

Telarc, 2002

Indomitable, Untamed as the Sea
Atlanta's recording is terrific. The sound is unmatched. Each soloist, Brett Polegato and Christine Goerke seem to be given free reign to explore the untamed Sea with their talents. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus both give outstanding performances of ...

Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5/Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
Robert Spano, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

Telarc, 2007

Wonderful Performances, Especially of the Symphony
This CD usefully and attractively collects some of Vaughan Williams' most serenely beautiful music, including his "other" pastoral symphony, the Symphony No. 5 written in the early years of World War II. As the notes to the recording state, the first hearers of this ...
  
  











  



  
Osvaldo Golijov: Oceana
Osvaldo Golijov, Robert Spano, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

Anyone notice the cover image?
If you're curious, the cover image for this DG release is recycled from Bill Evans and Jim Hall's 1962 'Undercurrent' album.
  
  











  



  
Michael Gandolfi: The Garden of Cosmic Speculation
Charae Krueger, Michael Gandolfi, ...

Telarc, 2008

Awesome and Brilliant!!
Thanks to the usually conservative (and often banal) Telarc for this brilliant CD, truly a cosmic - and very accessible - experience and completely recommended.

Telarc Classical SACD Sampler 2 [Hybrid SACD]

Rainbow Body / Blue Cathedral / Symphony 1 / Appalachian Spring Suite
Christopher Theofanidis, Samuel Barber, ...

Telarc, 2003

Awesome
Every once in a while, after sorting through the seemingly endless piles of contemporary American composers, you find a new composer that restores your faith in American music, which often seems to be a lost cause. This cd is one of those. Theofanidis comes forth as ...
  
  











  



  
Telarc SACD Sampler: The Absolute Sound
Brett Polegato, Earle Patriarco, ...

Telarc, 2006

Good for what it is, however narrow.
The Absolute Sound has been a premiere audiophile rag for decades. If you are one, you already know them. If not, then there is only a small chance their magazine will be useful to you. They have another publication for home theatre, "Perfect Vision" which has far ...
  
  











  



  
Rainbow Body [Hybrid SACD]
Samuel Barber, Aaron Copland, ...

Telarc, 2003

A must listen
Jennifer Higdon's "blue cathedral" and the Theofanidis work what gives this disc its title are both "about" cathedrals and mystical/philosophical experiences. They are undeniably fine pieces and are both interesting and attractive in their own right, but I can't say ...

Erich Kunzel, Various Artists

Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem
Mariusz Kwiecien, Johannes Brahms, ...

Telarc, 2008

First Impressions Largely Positive
For most music lovers, Brahms' German Requiem will be already known and loved from a variety of earlier experiences, whether those were as a performer, as an audience member, or from repeated listenings to cherished recordings. Many of my own best memories of this work ...
