Tristan Und Isolde CD

The Cave is a December 1994 piece featuring the Steve Reich Ensemble (conducted by Paul Hillier) in collaboration with video/text writer Beryl Korot. The story concerns the only place in the world where both Jews and Muslims are allowed to worship, a mosque in Hebron supposed to be the Cave of the Patriarchs where Abraham and many of his descendants were buried. Reich's ensemble includes four vocalists, four percussionists, three vocalists and a five-piece string section. The work begins with regimented percussion and follows through short spoken-word parts and longer sung passages. In several of the spoken-word parts, the harmonics are echoed in the string section (one of Reich's most recognizable and appealing devices), and although the content may be uninteresting to those not familiar with the ongoing Israeli-Arab differences, The Cave is a fascinating piece. ~ John Bush Personnel: Dahoud Atalah (chant).

Love songs have always been her favorites ever since Margie started in the entertainment field as a band vocalist, and later, when she became a Country and Western star performing with such greats as Willie Nelson, Eddy Arnold and Wayne Newton. Margie and her manager and producer, Peter Kobal, realized that Country Music was steadily being diluted by a new sound and that standard love ballads were fast returning to the popularity parade. Frank Sinatra was making albums once again. Tony Bennett and Johnny Mathis were also singing about love, and beautiful ballads by Margaret Whiting and Kitty Kallen were being reissued. So Margie, too, decicded to go back to her roots. Margie Lane's "Elusive Love" is an eternally beautiful musical keepsake that will put a little love in everyone's heart.
