Simple Gifts Classical Review

Average Rating: (1 out of 5 stars) 1 star

1 star Disillusioned
Bryn Terfel electrifies me when he sings operatic arias, but in this particular album where he sings sacred songs, I find something amiss. I'm not sure if it is the recording itself, or if Bryn's voice is not meant for this type of singing. I kept moving from track to track on this cd album hoping to recapture the magnificent voice I have heard in opera, but was disillusioned. While I am still a Terfel fan, I am unable to play this album again.

Dusan Bogdanovic Worlds CD (1988)

Simple Gifts

$13.35

On this CD, Dusan Bogdanovic performs a full set of solo classical guitar. His pretty sound, subtle style, and impressive technique are very much in evidence. His set ranges from fully composed pieces (including the four-part "Jazz Sonata") to a few free improvisations that have colorful sound explorations. But no matter what he plays, the volume level is low and the mood is mellow and laid-back. Bogdanovic makes playing the guitar look quite easy, although a bit more emotional variety would have been preferred. The last piece on this CD is taken from another album in the Ma label's catalog, a rather involved but complementary solo guitar number from Barry Wedgle. ~ Scott Yanow Personnel: Dusan Bogdanovic (guitar).
