gigli: from earliest to middle period
Romophone has maintained its excellent standard of transfers with this double album of recs that begin in 1918. A friend of mine says Gigli's tone was the most "seductive" of all tenors, about which I would have difficulty arguing. The later electrics show the bad side to Gigli's singing, with aspirates at every turn; unnecessary with his abilities and a disgraceful indulgence. However, most ...

Olivier Messiaen, Rudolf Innig

MD&G Records, 1996

Outstanding!
I had never heard of Olivier Messiaen until not too long ago, when I heard the Diptyche played on a NPR radio station. Intrigued, I got this CD and, what a treat! Mr. Messiaen's music is understated, yet powerful; the harmonies flow seamlessly and manage to create an extremely complex texture that words are powerless to describe. Rudolf Innig's technique is flawless, as is the sound quality of ...

NOT BAD BUT NOT COMPLETE OVERVIEW
Since AMAZON doesn't seem to have the wonderful 2cd collection with 52 songs,you have to settle for this one,but as you know real fans have eliminated the word settling of their vocabulary.If you don't know it,VINCENT SCOTTO was the most important FRENCH composer of the first half of the previous century.Virtually everyone from MAURICE CHEVALIER to MISTINGUETT,ALIBERT,TINO ROSSI and many others ...

Decca, 1996

Beautiful collection
I heard one song from this album and decided to give it a try, and it was a great surprise for me. Great collection and Cecilia's singing is simply beautiful, without any of these strange mannerisms that sometimes show up in her performances. Her sound is still fairly breathy, but that does not detract at all from the wonderful delivery, and she is great at putting colors and different characters ...

Messiaen par lui-même

Olivier Messiaen

EMI Classics, 1992

Profound Music, Profound Peformance. Poor Recording.
One of the peculiarities of the twentieth century is the presence of recordings. If Mendelssohn had wished to hear Bach perform, it was too late; the secrets that Bach held playing his music were forever lost to him. Not many recognized Messiaen during his lifetime as the genius performer and composer that he was, and so now that the chance to hear him in person has passed, those interested must ...

Daniel Brel, Le Poème Harmonique, ...

Alpha Productions, 2004

Music for bandoneon and viola da gamba?
I love work that hops genres and times. These beautiful, seductive pieces by Daniel Brel are enchanting and addictive. I picked the CD up on impulse and have been listening to it obsessively ever since. The bandoneon is an instrument most often associated with tango, and Brel's music indeed has some of the same flavors and moods of Astor Piazzola's. But the addition of Poéme Harmonique, a ...

Glorious pipes
New as an organ fan ? No mistake with this double Cd set. Registration is amazing and sounds like pure cristal. A simple joy. B.A.C.H. from Liszt is great, and more great moments. Organists play perfectly.

Olivier Latry

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

The sting of awakening.
I must confess that I've been lukewarm about Messiaen. He was often pictured in the 1970's in Hawaiian shirts and suspenders jacking his pants up to his man-boobs and this tacky image carries over all too well to some of his later music, where the extended durations are meant to be slow and glorious like the procession of a pharaoh through the streets of Thebes, or the dawning of God's grace on ...
