A native of Spartanburg, South Carolina, Clara Smith was an inspired blues vocalist with a persuasive voice that could be wonderfully disarming when combined with some of her tougher lyrics. A nearly exact contemporary of her friend Bessie Smith, Clara was born in 1894, began performing in theater and vaudeville at the age of 14, and worked in that environment for 13 years. After many years on the road, in 1923 Smith landed in Harlem and began making records. One of the Document label's greatest achievements during ...

Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique; Tchaikovsky / Maazel
$12.65
A collection of Chopin's best loved Preludes, Waltzes and Mazurkas, exquisitely performed by Eroica artist June de Toth, with the style and panache of a contemporary Rubenstein. June de Toth won two major European piano competitions, resulting in scholarships to the Santa Cecilia Academy in Rome and the Mozarteum in Salzburg. Her teachers included Rudolf Firkusny, Friedrich Gulda, Carlo Zecchi, and Kurt Leimer (nephew of Karl Leimer, the acclaimed pedagogue of Walter Gieseking). She was also awarded First Place in the International Piano Concerto competition in Salzburg, which resulted in a highly coveted debut performance with the Mozarteum Orchestra, playing the Brahms Piano Concerto in B-flat.The appearance, a critically acclaimed triumph, led to recitals in Italy, France, Yugoslavia, Spain and Portugal, where critics hailed her as "the best musician sent to us from the States."She has appeared as guest soloist with symphony orchestras in Portugal, Italy, and (former) Yugoslavia; and in the United States with the Santa Fe, Las Vegas, Sun City, Detroit Women's, and Detroit Symphony Orchestras.Hungarian-American pianist June de Toth has championed the piano music of Bela Bartok throughout a critically acclaimed concert career in the United States and Europe.She has just released a 7-CD box set of Bartok's Solo Piano Works on the Eroica label. She is the first woman to record a box set of Bartok's greatest solo piano works.In October, 1995, she performed an "All Bartok" recital at the Bartok Memorial House in Budapest, Hungary. She was the only American artist invited by the Hungarian government to take part in this 6-week International Festival of Bartok's works, commemorating the 50th anniversary of his death.She also performed Bartok's music in previous appearances on the European national radio networks of Portugal and Yugoslavia.She featured his "15 Hungarian Peasant Songs and Dances" in her premiere recording on the Da Vinci label of RCA Victor Red Seal Records.In her Town Hall debut, she presented the first public "All Bartok" recital in New York City, which was attended by Bartok's son, Peter.Her Carnegie Hall debut featured Bartok's "Sonata 1926."She won rave reviews for her performance of Bartok's Third Piano Concerto with the Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra.June de Toth's interpretation of Bartók's solo piano music is decidedly her own. She expresses a lyrical and romantic vision of his early poetic works, which were very much influenced by the French impressionist composer Claude Debussy. Her playing also emphasizes the melodic beauty of the Hungarian and other Eastern European folk songs which Bartók wove so masterfully into his compositions. She made her television debut on PBS-TV in 1991 with an "All Mozart" recital. A full color professionally recorded video tape of this performance is available from Eroica Classical Recordings on the ordering page.Reviews:Paris: "She gave a clear vision of the great Gods of music: Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, and Bartok." Le Guide du Concert et du Disque Salzburg: "The Brahms Second Piano Concerto was interpreted magnificently, with ease and power which were incredible." Salzburger NachrichtenLisbon: "A magnificent evening. We've never heard a more perfect interpretation of Bartók's extremely difficult Sonata 1926. One has to be great to do it.'' Jornal Do NoticiasMadrid: "June de Toth's concert was the biggest musical event of the season. Marvelous nuances from pianissimo to fortissimo." ...
| | Turks Keen Records Sessions CD (2006)
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique; Tchaikovsky / Maazel
$12.09
The title is surprisingly accurate. The Turks, a smooth vocal quartet little remembered outside of hardcore doo wop collectors' circles but much beloved by those in the know, recorded only four sides for Bob Keene's Keen Records label, and those were from 1958, long after the group's initial splash in the Los Angeles vocal scene alongside the Platters, the Penguins and the Flamingos. However, this reconstituted lineup of the Turks included the legendary Jesse Belvin, one of L.A. doo wop's most legendary figures, and the four songs -- "Okay," "It's You," "Father Time" and "My Baby" (this last one was never completed) -- are all hugely enjoyable examples of the form featuring Belvin's interplay with the Turks' lead singer Gaynel Hodge. The rest of this 49-minute disc, however, is filled out with rehearsal takes and studio chatter that's of interest only to die-hard fans. ~ Stewart Mason
The Turks, a legendary vocal group led by Gaynel Hodge and featuring Jesse Belvin, Alex Hodge and Tommy "Buster" Williams, recorded two sessions for Keen Records in 1957 and 1958. This CD includes both the final masters released and unreleased, as well a
