 $9.95    
What would happen if members of Savatage decided to write some Christmas songs? Easy: Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This "supergroup" is the brainchild of Jon Oliva and Paul O'Neill (respectively the leader-keyboardist and the producer of Savatage). They hired Al Pitrelli (Asia, Savatage) to play guitars, Robert Kinkel to help with keyboards, John Middleton (also a member of Savatage) on bass, and Jeff Plate on drums. Lead vocals are shared by six vocalists, while some of the backing vocals are handled by Savatage lead singer Zachary Stevens. Christmas Eve and Other Stories is a concept album: all the songs are built as chapters of a book, each telling part of a larger story. The plot here is of a young angel sent down to Earth to find and bring back to the Lord "the one thing that best represents everything good that has been done in the name of this day." The angel's quest takes him all over the world, through Russia and Sarajevo, until he finally hears the prayer of a father. This last piece is the strongest moment on the album and makes for a miniature story within the larger story. It is basically told in a trilogy of songs: in the first, "Ornament," we hear the father's prayer, explaining how he hasn't seen his daughter in many years. In "Old City Bar," the angel finds the daughter, standing alone outside a bar, and talks to the bartender who, out of a random act of kindness, takes all the cash from his register drawer and gives it to the girl so she can go home. The third song, "This Christmas Day," has the father ...

Archeophone's Real Ragtime is a collection of recordings of historic performances of 29 ragtime numbers dating from 1898-1918, originally issued in 1998 with one track less when Archeophone was a CDR-only label. This revision is a standard mass-produced version of Real Ragtime with a greatly improved booklet and better sound quality. Yet the basic thrust of the package is still the same -- collecting ragtime music as it was represented by the early phonograph, which had a much broader context in terms of repertoire and performance styles than the scholars behind the piano-centered "ragtime revival" of the 1970s would acknowledge, or allow. There is not a single piano solo to be found in this volume -- although a few such recordings were made in this era, they are not common, and some, such as pianist C.H.H. Booth's 1901 recording of J. Bodewalt Lampe's rag "Creole Belles," seem not to have come down to today's listeners. Banjo players, particularly Vess L. Ossman and Fred Van Eps, dominate this collection, but it also features ragtime material recorded by brass bands, singers, guitarists, xylophonists, and accordionists. Most CD compilations of vintage ragtime music, particularly those produced overseas, are derived from LP reissues and tend to focus on the same tracks from disc to disc with small variations. Nevertheless, nothing on Real Ragtime has been issued on CD before.
The sheer variety of approaches to ragtime exemplified on early phonograph recordings is staggering, and does tend to dilute the notion of ragtime as a "classic" kind of music -- perhaps that is why the ragtime revivalists limited their focus a bit more strictly than would be considered historically responsible among 21st century scholars. However, it expands listeners' understanding greatly about just how popular ragtime music was in the first two decades of the 20th century. Here are vaudevillians Arthur Collins, Eddie Morton, and Gene Greene singing ragtime songs that have functional, even catchy, lyrics. Some of the content of these words may seem racially derogatory in today's politically correct era, and if you would find such material objectionable, then Real Ragtime is not for you, although in this case the collection is mainly an instrumental one. The sound quality is variable, ranging from excellent, such as in "Some Baby" recorded in 1914 by the Van Eps Banjo Orchestra, to weakly audible, such as "Ragged William" recorded by a house band at Victor in March of 1901. In most cases, such tracks of the latter kind are in the minority -- in the main, Real Ragtime sounds terrific considering the age and variability of the material. Ragtime fanciers who want to get a grip on this uniquely American style ...

Amorous, irreverent, solemn and devotional - the poems and music of the Jews of Renaissance Italy are transformed into a time capsule in sound.Along with a love of entertainment and theater, the Jews of Rome, Florence, Venice and Mantua shared a lively view of religion, love, women, and the fragility of life.This recording is an aural portrait of an era of unprecedented cultural exchange between Jews and their neighbors.The music of Salamone Rossi and the poetry of Leone Modena, Joseph Tzarfati, Jacob Frances, Moshe ben Joab and Immanuel Frances are products of an Italian Jewish community hemmed in by discrimination and restrictive edicts, yet fully involved in the literary, musical, philosophical and scientific currents of the day.Salamone Rossi, friend and colleague of Claudio Monteverdi, was the most important Jewish musician and composer of the Italian Renaissance.His Sonatas and Sinfonie, Gagliarde and Brandi, as fresh today as they were four hundred years ago, are here paired for the first time with the beautiful and evocative ...
