Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A Very Special Recording of Schubert
Murray Perahia's interpretation and performance of Schubert's great Impromptus is very special. The utterly beautiful Impromptu No. 3 in G flat comes across as one of the most heavenly pieces for solo piano ever written when coming from the hands of Perahia. The sound is truthful on this CD, captured nicely by the Sony people. You will not be disappointed by these wonderful works, written by Schubert about a year before his tragically short life of 31 years ended. Enthusiastically recommended!

Like its predecessor, The Early Years, Vol. 2 consists of demos recorded by Tom Waits in 1971, two years before he released his debut album, Closing Time. "Hope I Don't Fall in Love With You," "Ol' 55," "Grapefruit Moon," and "Old Shoes" later turned up on that album, while "Shiver Me Timbers," "Diamonds on My Windshield," and "Please Call Me Baby" appeared on Waits' second album, The Heart of Saturday Night, in 1974. The release of the two Early Years albums demonstrates that Waits' better early material made it onto his regular releases -- the previously unreleased ...

CD $8.49  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24-karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box. "You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had" and "The Same Thing" did not appear on the original version of FOLK SINGER. They were recorded at a separate session in April 1964, three months after FOLK SINGER was released. The title and cover photo of this 1963 recording were an attempt to cash in on the burgeoning American folk revival, but this is pure acoustic blues. Muddy began his career as a Robert Johnson-style solo acoustic performer, and the tunes on FOLK SINGER hark back to those days. He's accompanied sparsely by Willie Dixon, drummer Clifton James and a young Buddy Guy, who provide a stark, deliberate backdrop for Muddy's rich vocal and expressive bottleneck guitar work. The richness of Muddy's baritone is showcased effectively here, with more room than usual for his voice to resonate. The low-key setting allows Muddy to explore a fuller dynamic range as well. From the romantic yearning of "Long Distance Call" to the fatalism of the chain gang song "My Captain," Muddy's voice expresses entire worlds of emotion with only subtle dynamic changes. On FOLK SINGER's more downhearted cuts, there's a doomy, ominous quality that rivals the deepest emotional journeys of John Lee Hooker. By scaling down, Muddy managed to make his songs, guitar and voice seem exponentially magnified. Though it's one of his quietest albums, FOLK SINGER screams ...

Philipp Fankhauser Talk To Me CD  (2004)

Schubert: Impromptus D 899 & D 935 / Murray Perahia
CD $12.65  Top 500 Audio Samples
Talk To Me is the title of the latest album from Philipp Fankhauser, the highly regarded blues artist based in Thun, Switzerland, and his first for Memphis International Records. Fankhauser is well known to European audiences but he is also familiar to North Americans as a result of his role as guest vocalist with the band of the late blues great Johnny "Clyde" Copeland. While the bulk of Talk To Me is comprised of l Fankhauser originals it does include two Johnny Copeland compositions and Shemekia Copeland, Johnny's daughter and a renowned star in her own right, penned the liner notes. "Philipp will always be very special to the Copeland family; his music is special for just about everyone," she wrote.The album includes a version of "Members Only," a song that was an R&B hit for Bobby Bland in the 1980s and produced for Fankhauser by Dennis Walker (Robert Cray, B.B. King, Maria Muldaur) with an appearance by the Memphis Horns. Bobby Bland finally met Fankhauser in the '90s and expressed great admiration for the Swissman's interpretation of one of his signature songs.Downbeat's review of Talk To Me noted "Fankhauser doesn't sound the least bit like a visitor from Switzerland that unrealistically fancies himself a blues singer. He displays empathy for Johnny Copeland songs, and he dramatizes soul-blues originals without over extending his voice or wearing out his welcome will too strong a reverential tone."Despite the fact that he was born and raised in Switzerland, Fankhauser has long been inspired by American blues artists and he has dedicated much of his life to following in their footsteps. At the age of twelve, he was introduced ...

John Salmon Plays Dave Brubeck
John Salmon Plays Dave Brubeck CD  (2004)

Schubert: Impromptus D 899 & D 935 / Murray Perahia
CD $7.45  Audio Samples
Dave Brubeck's stature as a composer of so-called classical music got another boost with the release of this recital by his piano virtuoso friend and disciple John Salmon -- who clearly gets the composer's endorsement in Brubeck's liner notes. The major work on the disc is Brubeck's half-hour-long Chromatic Fantasy Sonata, which in itself amounts to a major addition to the sparse American classical sonata inventory. Taking off from the spectacular opening of J.S. Bach's Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue in D minor, Brubeck soon goes his own way, gradually putting his own brand of polytonality into the Chorale, and his melodic stamp onto an inversion of Bach's "B-A-C-H" signature in the Fugue movement. The lengthy, riffing Chaconne bears the closest resemblance to Brubeck's jazz improvisations (including a brief passage that seems to refer to "Take Five"), though without a jazz pulse per se. Throughout, Brubeck is in absolute control of the classical processes he adopts, and he has something individual to say -- two signs of a potentially long life for this work. Chromatic Fantasy Sonata takes up more than half the space on the disc, giving way to some brief chips off the workbench, Five Pieces from "Two-Part Adventures" -- again, the basic idea comes from Bach, but the treatments of these five miniatures (three of which originate from other Brubeck pieces, including some for his jazz quartet) bear the Brubeck melodic touch. Tritonis also exists in multiple versions (the best-known one being for jazz quartet); this piano version takes off from an eight-note figure split into two keys, turning into a brilliant toccata-like concert piece. Finally come two encores -- an often savagely aggressive thing called The Salmon Strikes written by Brubeck expressly for his interpreter, and a grand solo ...
