Ambient composers Paul Schwartz and Mario Grigorov add their electronic melodies to selected opera arias on this album. Popular melodies from Carmen, Madame Butterfly, The Magic Flute, Dido, Aeneas, and more are used here. The final effect is striking, though these classic themes may be enhancing the Schwartz- Grigonoz creations more than they are helping the arias. A product of renowned Abbey Road Studio #1, all the operatic vocals were recorded live in this acoustically superb environment. This shows the creator's respect for the time-tested gems they are setting. It comes as no surprise that Schwartz was Andre Previn's assistant conductor with the Pittsburgh Symphony and musical director for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phanton of the Opera. Grigorov is a pianist and composer who is as comfortable in jazz and classical music as is in rock and electronica. Aria is sublime and rewarding. ~ Tom Schulte

Purchase Aria CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Amethystium Aphelion CD (2003)
Aria album
 $14.45 
Aphelion is the point where a planet or any celestial body is furthest from the sun. While this must be pretty dark place, Amethystium breathes light into the shadows. Amethystium is Oystein Ramfjord, a Norwegian composer who shapes elements of electronica and darkwave, evoking classic Tangerine Dream and Kitaro. This is the follow-up album to ODONATA, Ramfjord's acclaimed debut. Voices figure prominently into ...

Aria CD music
$13.39  
Aria (Goth)/Various Artists/Paul Schwartz (Producer): Paul Schwartz .
METAMORPHOSIS is the third installment in Paul Schwartz's popular Aria series and, like its predecessors, it builds contemporary ambient and dance tracks out of excerpts from famous opera arias. The stirring soprano of Broadway's Rebecca Luker, and a full choral backing, are featured throughout METAMORPHOSIS, lending classical credibility to the project. Yet Schwartz's sensibility is unmistakably modern, as proven by his use of keyboards and samples to create textured, driving grooves.
Still, Schwartz employs a full string orchestra, giving the music a rich, organic ...

| | Delerium Nuages Du Monde CD (2006)
Aria album
$13.25 
As fans are well aware, Delerium began their career recording strictly instrumental music in a highly atmospheric, soundscape vein. That musical penchant hasn't changed, but over the years the duo has utilized ever more vocalists to further enhance its sound, culminating in Nuages du Monde. This set boasts seven different female vocalists across its 11 tracks, and a mere two instrumentals. Opera star Isabel Baryakdarian powerfully opens the album with the evocative "Angelicus," her soaring vocals ...

| | Bert Jansch Birthday Blues CD (1969) (Import)
Aria music CDs
$11.99
This 1969 reissue by U.K. folk-rock singer Bert Jansch includes "Come Sing Me A Happy Song To Prove We Call Can Get Along..." and "I Am Lonely."
It's no accident that Jansch's 1969 album sounds like a modified version of the Pentangle. He was a member of the great British folk-rock group at the time of this album's release, which was produced by Shel Talmy (who also worked with the Pentangle). And he's backed by the group's sterling rhythm section of Danny Thompson (bass) and Terry Cox (drums), with occasional touches of harmonica (played by British blues singer Duffy Power), alto sax, and flute. The effect is akin to hearing an unbalanced Pentangle, with no John Renbourn on dueling ...

This album features everything from driving percussive rhythms of the title track Sundancer ...

| | Dana Lauren Stairway To The Stars, Featuring Arturo Sandoval CD (2008)
Aria songs
$17.75
'Hear us now, believe us later: the freakishly gifted young singer DANA LAUREN is still studying at New England Conservatory, but with her plush vocals and acute phrasing, she already has a captivating personal sound' - ThePheonix 'Lauren, 19, proved to be not only a sassy, silken vocalist, but an effective bandleader as well.' - The Hartford AdvocateBeing at the right place at the right time is certainly relevant for Dana Lauren. On August 12, 2006, Dana attended the Newport Jazz Festival where Arturo Sandoval was performing. As luck would have it, Dana bumped into Mr. Sandoval as he was headed back to the stage in between performances. During a brief conversation, Mr. Sandoval found out that Dana was a jazz vocalist and getting ready to begin her first year at New England Conservatory as a jazz vocal performance major. He invited Dana to join him on stage at Sculler's Jazz Club in Boston that following November. Since that time, Dana has had the honor of performing with Arturo at the Arturo Sandoval Jazz Club in Miami, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Birdland in NYC to mention a few. This CD is the result of that meeting in Newport. Dana will always be thankful to Arturo for giving her this amazing opportunity and considers him not only her mentor but also a very good friend. Meeting Arturo Sandoval on the day of her 18th birthday was a life changing experience. Dana has loved music for as long as she can remember. Her parents knew she had a passion and love of music when she was playing songs by ear on her keyboard at 6 years old. Shortly after that, she began taking classical piano lessons. While she was always singing, it didn't dawn on anyone that her 'gift' was her voice. While Dana's mother loved to listen to jazz, Dana did not discover her passion for jazz until she arrived at high school and was chosen as the piano player for her high school jazz ensemble. Through her high school years, Dana was a member of the jazz band, jazz choir and women's choir. She also directed an a cappella jazz quartet. Dana added jazz piano instruction as well as voice lessons to her schedule knowing that she would be majoring in jazz performance in college. ...

As there have been resurgences of interest in the genres of rockabilly and Western swing, so there was (and continues) a revival of klezmer. It evolved amid the folk music of Central and Eastern European Jews and flourished in the immigration to America, where it mixed with pop music and (especially) early ...
