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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
