Rossini: Stabat Mater
$8.85 
A no-frills CD reissue of what was already a pretty frills-free vinyl anthology from the '70s, The Very Best of the Classics IV is not geared for the obsessive fan of Dennis Yost and crew, even assuming such people exist. The sound is serviceable, the liner notes non-existent, and the skimpy 26-and-a-half-minute running time is just barely on the right side of a gyp. On the other hand, for the casual fan who just wants decent-sounding versions of "Spooky," "Traces," and "Stormy" -- this Atlanta-based group's three mellow blue-eyed soul hits -- this is an inexpensive way to do just that. The other seven tracks contain no hidden gems, but they're perfectly serviceable, even the cover of Bobby Hebb's maudlin "Sunny." ~ Stewart Mason
| | Pops Roundup / Fiedler, Boston Pops Orchestra CD (1962)
Rossini: Stabat Mater
$7.55
Pops Roundup presents a Walt Disney view of the west in which soaring strings and horns evoke images from western movies rather than the actual west. The dynamic music features all-new arrangements of classic western songs as well as themes from television, films, and Broadway shows. Woodblocks create the clippity-clop of horses' hooves, and other uncommon (for an orchestra) instruments such as harmonica and accordion crop up in places. An array of odd sounds, from whistles to gunshots, add to the strong visual quality of the music. Two long medleys of western television themes and fiddle reels bookend the album, with the latter receiving a positively whimsical interpretation. Pops Roundup is a soundtrack in search of a motion picture, and will give western film enthusiasts a serious case of deja vu. The CD reissue adds six bonus tracks. ~ Greg Adams

| | Bartok Bartók: String Quartets No 1-6 / Belcea Quartet CDs (2008)
Rossini: Stabat Mater
$18.39
Bartók's string quartets are a true cornerstone of quartet repertoire. They communicate on various levels and are supremely effective on all of them. Whether viewed as a cycle or as six individual works, they remain masterpieces of formal design, every bar plainly part of a rounded grand plan, a plan securely placed within a wider framework. They can be mysterious, intimate, innovative, outspoken or earthy, while the infinite subtlety of their workings warrants a lifetime's study, and praise. The vibrant, young musical ambassadors of the Belcea Quartet have been playing all of Bartók's quartets extensively in the last few months and they will continue to feature heavily in their UK tour schedule in 2008. Highlights include concert performances of the complete cycle at the Wigmore Hall and Edinburgh Festival. The Belcea's interpretation of these quartets really captures the listeners' attention, the quartet commented: "The more we immersed ourselves in these works, the more beauty and richness we discovered in them and we very much hope that this appeal will even still increase in future because we definitely consider these quartets to be the greatest masterpieces of the last century in our repertoire." The First Quartet is the most romantic in spirit and actually harbours a love story. It marks an affectionate withdrawal from a late Romantic fin-de-sičcle. The Second (1915-1917) takes us some way towards the gritty, hard-hitting Bartók of the mid-late 1920s. By 1927 Bartók, a superb pianist by any standards, was enjoying a worldwide concert career, and soaking up what that world had to offer in musical terms. One probable influence was Alban Berg's Lyric Suite, an expressive masterpiece that thrives on a plethora of complexities. Bartók's Third Quartet does likewise, a work that on one level seems to mimic a Hungarian rhapsody (the alternation of fast and slow music) while on the other takes tiny thematic cells and develops them into a teeming nest of musical activity. Bartók's next two quartets are both cast unconventionally in five movements of a symmetrical, arch-like design. The Fourth (1928) has at its centre an evocative though austere example of Bartók's 'night music' that opens with a rhapsodic cello solo leading in turn to imitated birdsong. The Fifth Quartet (1934) is built on a far larger scale. Bartok modifies the arch form by placing a scherzo at its centre, a syncopated dance movement in Bulgarian rhythm, framed by two slow movements using similar chord sequences. The air of ineffable sadness that hangs over Bartók's last quartet (1938) reflects not only a swiftly sickening Europe but personal tragedy: his mother's journey towards death would end in December 1939. All four movements open with the same, heart-rendering 'mesto' (sad) motto. Never has a quartet cycle ended quite so equivocally, or sounded a truer warning, one that even today inspires both awe and gratitude.
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
