| | Kitaro Daylight, Moonlight: Live In Yakushiji Super-Audio CD Kitaro Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
In the seventh century CE Genjo Sanzo walked the length of the Silk Road from Japan to India and back, bringing with him the scriptures that introduced Buddhism to Japan and China. On this live two-disc album, recorded at the monastery where Genjo's ashes are harbored, Kitaro attempts to capture the passions that sustained the monk on his long journeys.
The album opens with the somber, unadorned chanting of the Yakushiji monks. As with most of his studio albums, DAYLIGHT, MOONLIGHT finds Kitaro effortlessly bridging the traditional and the forward-thinking, particularly on songs such as "Hazimari/Sozo" and "Estrella." The standout track, "Mercury," originally featured on his Grammy Award-winning album THINKING OF YOU, finds his flute gliding over a sparse industrial landscape. In all, a strong set that lives up to the story of the monk who inspired it.

Indispensable global fusion music from Claus Zundel (AKA "The Brave"), this fifth outing (hence the title) finds the reclusive Spanish wizard stepping back and letting the virtuosic flamenco guitar of fellow Ibiza resident Paco Fernandez take center stage. Also on board is the African singer Luna Mohamed, who lends exotic vocal caresses to several tracks, and the mournful cello of Eric Plummetaz. As with previous B-Tribe work, the songs flow seamlessly together in a delirious blend of Gypsy ...

Mary Fahl made good music as the singer for the eclectic October Project. She was always a surprise, looking so delicate but having such a big, almost classical voice. She still has the big voice, but she's opting for an easier course of being eclectic by tossing faint nods at different styles while trying to hew firmly to the center of the road; she's sort of a thinking man's Celine Dion with rootsy touches. Is she successful? ...

Daylight, Moonlight: Live In Yakushiji
$14.45
Face the Music, which opened a successful run of 165 performances at the New Amsterdam Theatre on Broadway on February 17, 1932, marked a return to musical comedy for songwriter Irving Berlin, following five years of lucrative mistreatment in Hollywood. Berlin teamed with book writer Moss Hart and the directing/producing team behind the Gershwins' 1931 political satire Of Thee I Sing, George S. Kaufman and Sam H. Harris. The idea was to come up with a present-day show that commented wittily on various aspects of contemporary life in New York including the Great Depression, police corruption, and the use of sex to sell theater tickets. One of Hart's ideas was to have a theatrical producer deliberately put on a money-losing show for nefarious financial reasons, a plot that predated Mel Brooks' The Producers by decades. Berlin's warm-hearted score, which did not match Hart's more farcical libretto, produced two hits, "Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee" and "Soft Lights and Sweet Music." (Later, "I Say It's Spinach (And the Hell with It)" enjoyed some popularity in nightclubs.) But after the show undertook a national tour and a brief return to New York, it was put away and forgotten, never to be revived. Seventy-five years passed, and then in the spring of 2007, Encores!, the New York theater organization devoted to mounting semi-staged concert versions of "lost" musicals, put it on, garnering enough critical notice for DRG Records to commission this, the first cast recording ever made. It is worth noting that the Encores! approach is one of restoration, which differs markedly from the kind of revivals usually seen of works by masters like Berlin on Broadway. The latter, sometimes referred to by critics as "revisicals," tend toward new musical arrangements, drastically rewritten scripts, and interpolations of hit songs from other musicals by the songwriter. While the Encores! concerts do alter the theatrical books of the shows to scale them down (the papier-mâché elephant that was a high point of the final scene of the original production of Face the Music had to go), painstaking effort is made to find and employ original orchestrations and a semblance of the style the show had the first time around. And so it is with Face the Music, which means that, on disc, one hears a bunch of Berlin songs that have gone largely unperformed in 75 years or more. (Four songs that were cut from the original production before its opening have been added back.) They are all sturdy efforts, though none is a lost gem. Critics have pointed out that the ever-timely Berlin had taken account of musical changes since his last show in 1927, and that his songs for Face the Music sound like the '30s, not throwbacks to his earlier styles. It is also notable that, while Berlin is thought of as not having written "book" songs expressing character and plot development until Annie Get Your Gun in 1946, in fact many of his songs for Face the Music do relate directly to the show, starting with the amusing choral number "Lunching at the Automat," which finds New York bluebloods forced to eat fast food in the wake of the Depression. Encores! has employed a talented ensemble ...
