Hugo Wolf's 'Italienisches Liederbuch' is an ingenious song cycle. Taken from a volume of Italian folk lyrics translated into German by poet Paul Heyse, the songs, all about love and placed in a dramatically immediate first person, are split among two singers, a soprano and a baritone. As a result, even though the texts are not linked by narrative progression or repeated characters, and none of the songs are duets, there is a quasi-operatic sense to the piece in performance, as if the singers are addressing and reacting to one another's passions. This live performance, recorded at the Roya...

The Ozrics remain true to form and rocksteady on ARBORESCENCE, an album replete with their trademarks: squooshy, splooshy cosmic whizzes, laser-sharp guitars, walloping "ethnic" percussion, and other dazzling non-sequiturs. Though the songs on this particular slab of plastic are indicative of the band's well-weathered style, it's to Joie and Merv's credit that their Eat Static offshoot injects some diffidence into the mix. The effect is most successful on the spicy techno-throb of "Dance of the Loomi," and the wittily titled "There's a Planet Here," with its slithery bassline, shuffle beat...

The Rock-A-Teens: William Brandon, Justin Davis Hughes, Ballard Lesemann, Chris Lopez. Recorded at The Snack-N-Shack, Atlanta, Georgia. The Rock-A-Teens rock. Whether they are teens are not is best left up to your imagination. This is no-frills, sincere, Southern Gothic. Singer Chris Lopez absolutely throttles the melodies with an intense passion for the music and little regard for his intonation and it's easy to see how songs like "Across The Piedmont" and "Small Town Soap Opera" inspire such emotions. Even the recording has a "no-frills" vibe--everything is smeared together in the reverb...

Most of RIDIN' IN MY CAR was originally released as ALL HOPPED UP. RIDIN' IN MY CAR, while not a reissue of the band's ALL HOPPED UP, encompasses nearly the whole of that album (minus two songs), plus an additional four numbers. NRBQ has never been shy about reworking and reformatting past works, and this set stands on its own, quite distinctive from its equally strong predecessor. The album is bookended with the title song (a great should-have-been-hit) presented first by the band, and then as an instrumental finale by the Windsor High School Band from a live performance in 1979. Two long...

Soprano Neva Pilgrim is a great champion of contemporary music and each of her recitals is a fascinating journey into this under performed vocal repertoire. This disc features songs and song cycles by some of the most provocative composers of our age. Ernst Krenek composed over 200 works in a variety of styles, his 'Trois Chansons,' Op.30a, set to poetry of Emile Verhaeren, is scored for soprano, clarinet and string quartet. Pilgrim sang in the U.S. premiere of the work and it's clearly a piece she has mastered. Her dark-hued voice shimmers against the accompaniment as she brings something...

Embarking on a solo career after the breakup of his two '80s bands, The Rip and Plagal Grind, Alastair Galbraith has established himself as a charming eccentric in the finest New Zealand tradition. Useful touchstones include his fellow Kiwi nutters Chris Knox and the Tall Dwarfs. Galbraith's songs often sound folk-based, partly because he favors modal rather than chordal melodies. Around this appealing center, Galbraith layers noisy experimentation, creating an unearthly racket that occasionally relents to reveal a gorgeous bit of guitar pop or a haunting violin melody. Galbraith released ...

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. It seems that the reports of Luciano Pavarotti's professional demise were premature. To the contrary, TI ADORO, his first solo studio album in 15 years, emphatically proclaims that the old master has quite a bit of life left in him. The legendary tenor dusts off the cobwebs and works through a program of new songs, many written specifically for him, with verve, panache, and a palpable feeling of joy. He's in excellent voice throughout, with his customary golden tone and ringing notes securely in place. Rig...

The combining of music and poetry in the courts of seventeenth century England was partly the result of an artistic movement that grew out of a need for entertainment by the wealthy. This style of theatrical art gave birth to the 'ayre', a genre characterized by pairing the voice and the English lute. Often dramatic and melancholy in mood, these lute pieces were presumably the Elizabethan equivalent of today's modern soap operas. Hyperion has done a superior job in packaging thirty such songs built entirely on the perspicuity of the voice and lute. All pieces are performed by Robin Blaze, ...

The last survivor from the Golden Age of Mexican ranchera, Vicente Fernandez has achieved the same stature as legendary singers such as Pedro Infante, Javier Solis, and Jorge Negrete. His thunderous voice is an ideal vehicle for expressing the pride, longing and passion inherent in classic Mexican songs such as "El Rey" and "Volver Volver." Musically, this 1997 recording finds Fernandez in top shape. His buoyant personality shines through from the very first track, a downright erotic version of "Nos Estorbo la Ropa," a famous Teodoro Bello composition telling the story of two lovers whose ...
