Walker Brothers Ultimate Collection CD  (2008)

Murray Perahia Plays Handel And Scarlatti
CD $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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

John Zorn's chamber pieces are now becoming as much the rule as they are the exception in his ever-expanding catalog of works. This trio of pieces is -- even for him -- among his most provocative and most musically noteworthy. The contents are "Le Mômo," for violin (Jennifer Choi) and piano (Stephen Drury); an untitled cello sonata (featuring cellist Erik Friedlander); and "Amour Fou" for the entire trio. First up is "Le Mômo," named after French poet and dramatist Antonin Artaud's own work, Artaud, le Mômo. The musical palette that Zorn assembles for this work is deceptive at first, as both pitch and tonal interactions between the two instruments speak in a limited vocabulary, but only for the first three minutes where the harmonic range expands across the entire tonal scale. There are passages of stark, brooding beauty where Drury plays alone, juxtaposed with dynamic shifts in color and texture where Choi is in full-challenge assault mode on harmony. In fact, Zorn largely does away with it with few exceptions. The dizzying array of changes in tempo, mode, tonality, and timbre are staggering, and the piece seems as full of anarchy as one of Artaud's own fragmentary poems. But herein lies the beauty: This work is anything but random; it is precise and almost pointillistic in its structure, as flatted fifths slam quite comfortably into arpeggios of pure intensity on both instruments. The overall tone of the work is a tribute, but there is elegy written across its body as well. "Untitled" for cello is among the most beautiful of Zorn's composed works for strings. He examines, through a series of notational strategies, the elemental nature of timbral structure and the essence of the cello's tonal limits. In short, he puts Friedlander through the ringer both dynamically and dramatically, moving him through serial and overtonal passages that seem to eliminate meter, time, and interval. However, like "Le Mômo," this is largely a work based on a sophisticated and mysterious lyricism that is singular to Zorn's work. What appears atonal in a moment gives way to profound and shimmering beauty in the next. The work is dedicated to Joseph Cornell, the solitary artist who created hypnotic, delirious boxes full of the most surreally gorgeous minutiae; they were great works of obsession on love, its lack, and loss, and they changed our concept of visual art to an extent we can't even measure yet. Finally, "Amour Fou," Zorn's tribute to obsessive, mad love for trio is a hint toward his influences from Scriabin to Messiaen musically and from Andre Breton to Georges Bataille in literature. It's the closest to a narrative work on this record; its body is constructed of essentially three movements, and all of them would have a dynamic list as long as Zorn's arm if they were written down. The piano seems to be the key to undertaking the piece harmonically. It creates shifts ...
