This two-CD compilation, assembled from the Walker Brothers' three albums and various singles released by Philips between 1965 and 1967, gives a good overview of their U.K. history without limiting itself to their hits. The sound quality is good if not exceptional -- one gets the sense that another round of remastering would be in order (and while we're talking about sound, wouldn't one like to see a Mobile Fidelity reissue on the Walker Brothers or, for that matter, Scott Walker's best solo stuff?). And the track order isn't chronological -- their two best-known songs, which were not their first two U.K. singles -- occupy the opening two slots on disc one. So this set is lacking in some attributes that one would, ideally, like to se. On the other hand, all of the songs that one would like to see are here somewhere, and the annotation is thorough if not extensive. For anyone starting a collection of the classic Walker Brothers' material, this set -- which also carries the subtitle "My Ship Is Coming In" -- is a great place to start and finish, assuming that one doesn't wish to own everything that they did during their British period. ~ Bruce Eder
2009 two CD set from the '60s trio, who have become one of the most revered Pop outfits of their time. Though they were not brothers and came from California, The Walker Brothers became international stars with a slew of great singles that were as unique as they were catchy. The British and European ...

Russian master Aleksandr Sokurov (THE SUN, RUSSIAN ARK, MOTHER AND SON) has produced another majestic achievement with ALEXANDRA. In a rare instance of working from his own original script, Sokurov tells the simple tale of a woman in the twilight of her life who embarks on a special journey. As the story unfolds, Sokurov's deeper purpose is revealed, resulting in a work that speaks profoundly about the corrosive nature of war. Opera star Galina Vishnevskaya is Alexandra. She hasn't seen her grandson in seven years and, understanding that her life is coming to an end, she decides to visit him at his army camp in war-torn Chechnya. What at first is a beautiful reunion gradually becomes conflicted, as Alexandra ...

I. NotesII. BiographyI. From the notes to this cd:SUITE (2004) draws loosely on the traditional genres of toccata, fantasia, minuet/scherzo and ground-bass slow movement, respectively - all of which commonly appear in similarly titled works of the eighteenth century. The individual movements here are, however, tightly bound together by means of a single common motif: the open fifth played on the notes c-g alternating with the third d-f. In the first movement, the motif gradually explores its way out from its original form in the key of c, until it has passed through all twelve tones of the octave. The second movement introduces a simply harmonised plain-song melody, which, during its repetition, forms the structural basis of a fantasia. In the third movement the original motif reappears in the foreground - though here in a more chromatic version - and the relentless rhythmic drive of the first movement is transformed into something more whimsical. Indeed, one may at times hear an element of Straussian satire in the sliding chromatic harmonies. The last two movements serve to bring the work as a whole to its apotheosis and conclusion, in the fourth by overtly combining the central motif with elements of plain-song, in the fifth through the ultimate return of the motif in its original form.WATERCOLORS (2005) strives to represent water in its various aspects of 'colors.' Whether flowing or still, water does not express itself in hard angles or sharp textures. Musically this is reflected in each piece by a tonal palette composed almost exclusively from the white keys alone. Rather than angular modulations from key to key, gradual shifts of emphasis among the white notes determine changing tonal centres modally. Likewise, from piece to piece, different notes constitute the main gravitational focus - thus generating the primary mode for each piece. The only exception to this basic diatonic plan occurs in the penultimate piece, where, instead of white notes, the piano's black notes are exploited. Not only do we hear the 'flats' and 'sharps' for the first time. Given that there are only five black notes instead of seven, our ears also encounter a new harmonic system: one based on the pentatonic scale. In the eighth and final piece the white notes return. This 'closing of the circle' is also represented within the piece itself, as the lapping motif saturates each bar from beginning to end.II. BiographyTallis Barker was educated at Harvard (A.B.) and Oxford (D.Phil.), and has been the recipient of numerous international scholarships and awards, including a Fulbright and an Erasmus. He studied with ...
