This album received the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Small Ensemble Performance (with or without Conductor). Composer John Tavener can never be accused of being unambitious. His early career was marked by flamboyance and a flair ... Full Descriptionfor the dramatic that resulted in adventurous, unconventional music. Since joining the Russian Orthodox Church in 1977, he's dedicated himself to producing works that deal with weighty matters of spirituality by looking back to and echoing ancient musical traditions, drawing on historical influences and melding them with elements of the modern to create what he calls "icons of notes." He's one of the most popular of contemporary composers, whose success lies in the accessibility of his deeply meditative compositions.
This disc features the world premiere recording of a large-scale work, 'Lamentations and Praises.' The score is a typically eclectic amalgam, calling for male voices singing in Orthodox Byzantine style combined with flute, bass trombone, string quintet, tape, and an elaborate array of percussion. Tavener uses repetition, stasis, and simplicity of structure to sustain moods of reverence, sorrow, and exaltation through 13 sections linked to form a liturgical drama. The members of the acclaimed ensemble Chanticleer expertly navigate the demanding vocal parts while the Handel & Haydn Society of Boston provides fine instrumental support.

| | Tom Waits Real Gone CD (2004)
Tavener: Lamentations And Praises / Chanticleer
$14.29 
The absence of piano is significant--Waits's jazzy harmonic underpinning is entirely dismantled here, leaving only the most basic, blues-oriented structures atop which Waits hangs his distinctive poetic imagery, at once surreal and highly detailed. There's an overwhelming sense of darkness ("How's It Gonna End," "Dead and Lovely"), but there are also moments of pure unfettered glee "Metropolitan Glide," "Shake It"), which are often goosed along by Waits's son Casey on turntables and percussion. A perennial romantic, Waits does let in a little melodic sunshine on the poignant closing ballad, "Day After Tomorrow," but for the most part, REAL GONE is a deliriously wild ride.
There have been many incarnations of Tom Waits--the boozy piano balladeer, the arch Kurt Weill acolyte, the bold sonic experimentalist--but the one that pops up on REAL GONE is probably most akin to the raw, howling, modern primitive of BONE MACHINE. As he did on that 1992 album, Waits gets in touch with his inner Captain Beefheart on REAL GONE. Instead of employing arrangements that merely suggest the accompaniment of a FAT ALBERT-style junkyard band, Waits actually sounds like he's hooting and hollering in the middle of a Salvation Army scrapyard, albeit one populated by junkmen with an inherent simpatico for his medium.
Personnel: Tom Waits (vocals, guitar, chamberlin); Marc Ribot (guitar, banjo); Larry Taylor (guitar, bass guitar); Harry Cody (guitar); Les Claypool (bass guitar); Casey Waits (drums, percussion, turntables); Brain (percussion); Mark Howard (bells).

Tavener: Lamentations And Praises / Chanticleer
$19.69
A reconstruction of Liszt's sketches on popular Hungarian themes makes up Volume 52 of Leslie Howard's survey of the complete piano music. The manuscripts, part of the Richard Wagner Museum in Bayreuth, date from the mid-1800s. Liszt wrote out the first part; the rest of the volume was finished by Ede Remenyi and dedicated to the master.
Where Liszt's workbooks fail to write out much of the music--the composer leaves few markings as to tempo, dynamics, or sometimes even notes--Howard has supplied the pianistic gumption to make these melodies come alive. The result is light and entertaining, though undoubtedly lacking the frisson that an actual Hungarian ensemble would bring to these tunes.
Recommended for Liszt enthusiasts and, by virtue of the notes' focus on the provenance of the traditional melodies, Hungarian ethnomusicologists.
