Richard Strauss: Die Liebe Der Danae
 $11.89 
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

| | Blues, Blues Christmas Vol. 2 CDs (2005)
Richard Strauss: Die Liebe Der Danae
$16.39
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 in 1950 by piano prodigy (he was only ten years old when this recording was made) Frankie "Sugar Chile" Robinson and the intense, ...

| | Alexandra DVD (2007)
Richard Strauss: Die Liebe Der Danae
$21.49
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 is forced to accept the painful realization that she may no longer be the most important figure ...

| | Erich Kunzel Happy Trails CD (1989)
Richard Strauss: Die Liebe Der Danae
$15.05
Recorded in Music Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio on April 9, 1989; Suma Recording Studios, Plainsville, Ohio on August 16, 1989; and Dry Park, Kaibab National Forest, Arizona on August 23, 1989.
Erich Kunzel's first Western album, Round Up, was so beloved by audiophiles and cowboy fans that Telarc rustled up this sequel two years later, recording the music quickly in one day. Like most sequels, this one (subtitled "Round-Up 2") isn't quite as wonderful; the pickings from the cinema are slimmer and the Cincinnati Pops' performances fall just a bit short on the pizazz scale. Part of the latter is due to the generally more subdued nature of the material -- with spirited exceptions like Jerry Fielding's Mexican guaracha-flavored theme from The Wild Bunch -- but others just could use more fire. The Air Force Singing Sergeants are featured most effectively in a surprisingly moody, haunting medley of cowboy songs arranged very creatively by Chris Brubeck. Whereas Round Up had Frankie Laine, Happy Trails gives you Sherrill Milnes, whose operatic baritone is a bit staid for the likes of "Ghost Riders in the Sky," "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," and especially the whip-cracking "Mule Train" (which goes limp). Yet, there are some endearingly authentic touches that Happy Trails' predecessor did not have -- like Gene Autry, who hadn't recorded anything in decades yet was persuaded to recite his "The Cowboy Code" from the 1930s, whose compassionate ...
