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 ...

Ravel: L'Enfant Et Les Sortilèges / Ernest Bour, Et Al
$17.49 
Christmas and the blues might seem at first like a strange combination, given that the music of the holiday season is usually joyful, hopeful, and bright, but no other time of the year is so good at showing you what you don't have, and what you can't get, and if you have the blues at Christmas, well, it's going to be a pretty heavy dose. This generous two-disc set from Document Records features 52 tracks of vintage African-American Christmas-themed blues and gospel pieces (with a couple of street sermons thrown in) recorded between 1925 and 1955, ranging from down-and-out laments and jailhouse moans to surprising (and occasionally risqué) requests for what Santa can bring down the chimney. Highlights on the first disc include the opening track, the joyous "Christ Was Born on Christmas Morn," recorded in 1925 by comedian and female impersonator Frankie "Half Pint" Jaxon; Harry Crafton's "Bring That Cadillac Back" (a Cadillac might not be the best gift if your girlfriend likes to ramble) from 1947; Tampa Red's amazing, ringing slide guitar tone on "Christmas and New Year's Blues" from 1936; and the bizarre, disturbing field recording of "Junior's a Jap Girl's Christmas for His Santa Claus," sung by Willie Blackwell for Alan Lomax in Arkansas in 1942. Other high points include the charming "Christmas Boogie," recorded ...

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 ...

Several years ago I was searching through my piano music for pieces to play for services at St. Alban's Episcopal Church, where I work as Director for Parish Music Ministries, and came across a piece by Liszt, "Les jeux d’eaux a la Villa d’Este". Printed midway through the piece was a quote from the fourth chapter of the Gospel of John: “…sed aqua, quam ego dabo ei, fiet in eo fons aquae salientis in vitam aeternam†( “…but whoever drinks of this water that I shall give him will never thirst, the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal lifeâ€). My curiosity about why Liszt had included this quote in the middle of an impressionistic piece, albeit a “watery†one, lay dormant until the summer of 2005 when I began learning more about Liszt and about the depth and sincerity of his religious fervor, which had been dismissed by Liszt scholars for years as mere showmanship. All music is, in my mind, deeply connected to our spirituality, but I wondered if other serious composers wrote music for the piano that also tried to make obvious connections with spirituality and religion. My search led me into some relatively unexplored corners of the piano repertoire and to little-known works by, among others, Darius Milhaud, Nathaniel Dett, and the composers represented on this recording. This could easily have been an all-Liszt recording, but by the time I realized this I was already intrigued by the works of the other composers here. I also found myself thinking about the need for stories and mysticism in my own spiritual life and wondered how my work as a church musician might inform my interpretation of these pieces in some new or more meaningful way. I’ve lived and worked with the stories of St. Francis, Mary and Jesus, with a Trinitarian God, and with Gregorian chant for many years now. I also wondered about the connections between playing the organ and playing the piano. Many would say that the techniques required for these instruments are incompatible. But I know that creating legato playing on the organ ...
