Lovers of extended vocal technique no doubt would have preferred a full album of that kind of material from this groundbreaking, sometimes eardrum shattering, female singer. Her discography seems as tiny as the parts of the inner ear, however, so customers are going to have to take what they can get. The type of program presented on this early-'70s collection might have also been the same kind of repertoire she would have presented in a live recital, setting out first to prove her credentials with a note-perfect performance of Monteverdi -- she has a good Italian accent, by the way -- and then easing through several Debussy pieces before getting into the weird stuff. That would be the compositions by John Cage and Sylvano Bussotti as well as Berberian's own infamous "Stripsody." It is in these three pieces that this album serves up the filet mignon, although the Debussy songs and a Kurt Weill piece are quite nice. A shame that, once again in an attempt to keep the attention of the lame members of the ...

Chopin’s WaltzesBetween 1770 and 1780 in Vienna (a major music capitol of the world at the time), the waltz became the latest craze and remained the most fashionable society dance until the middle of the next century. The waltzes of the Johann Strauss family, both father and son, were the most popular, and it was their Viennese waltzes that were most favored by the Hapsburg monarchy. While waltzes have three beats to each measure, a special character of the Viennese waltz is a slight anticipation of the second beat and a movement of the third beat into the first beat of the next measure. Amidst their immense popularity, waltzes were written for virtually every musical venue of the day including the opera, ballroom, and concert stage. Seasoned as well as aspiring young composers sought to advance their musical careers by writing waltzes.In 1830, a young nineteen year old composer named Chopin, moved to Vienna. Here Chopin was influenced by the very popular Viennese waltz style and began incorporating it into his own waltzes. While waltzes are usually composed for the purpose of actual physical dancing, Chopin’s waltzes were written for the salon and intended more for listening rather than dancing.On the occasion of the publication of Chopin’s Op. 34, No. 2 “Valse Brilliante”, Robert Schumann wrote, “It is above all the three waltzes, however, that are bound to please: they strike a different note from ordinary waltzes and are such as could be found only with Chopin, whom one can imagine casting his great artist’s eye ...
