Holzmair: The Philips Recitals
Limited 13 CD set. From Haydn to Eisler: the collected Philips recordings of Wolfgang Holzmair, a supreme art-song interpreter, including many long-deleted albums. Wolfgang Holzmair has long been recognised as one of today's most accomplished and intelligent Lieder singers. He brings a refinement and subtlety to his performances worthy of the great German Lieder baritones, but it is the silky elegance of his voice that has always seduced listeners and critics: the golden, tenorial top as well as his rich, soulful lower register. In celebration of his 70th birthday, this set brings together his complete Philips recitals for the first time, as well as his 1995 recording for Koch of the Hollywood Songbook by Hanns Eisler.- Shop: odax

Oh Joy! Oh Rapture!
Oh, Joy! Oh, Rapture! New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players Albert Bergeret, conductor and music director 'Hail, hail, the gang's all here!' What better way to begin this sampling of our company's enthusiasm for G&S than with the original chorus from Pirates of Penzance whose melody was later borrowed for those familiar words? With cat-like tread TRACK 1 The Mikado the most popular of the G&S collaborations and only nominally Japanese, is one of several works for which Gilbert chose an exotic setting as a thin disguise for the English society of which he was making fun. Even Nanki-Poo's famed catalogue of song includes only standard English offerings, sentimental parlour ballads, martial music, and sea chanteys! A wand'ring minstrel I TRACK 2 Comes a train of little ladies TRACK 3 Three little maids from school TRACK 4 A more humane Mikado TRACK 5 Patience spoofs the Aesthetic movement (Whistler, Oscar Wilde) but, more broadly, the excesses of any fad or cult and it's mindless followers. In this piece, one of the idols gives a 'how to' recipe for posing successfully as a cult icon. Am I alone and unobserved? TRACK 6 H.M.S. Pinafore the 2nd full-length G&S collaboration (1878), is only half as long as The Mikado (1885). While later works became more subtle, complex, and elaborate, Pinafore has a palette of bright primary colors and needs no apology for it's relative simplicity, it is a model of brevity and clarity, and estabished the pattern of Gilbert's witty poking of fun at social and individual human foibles, perfectly set off by Sullivan's music. The more pretentious Titanic sank, but this saucy ship has proven virtually indestructible. Our selections are the pieces with which the characters introduce themselves. I am the Captain of the Pinafore TRACK 7 I'm called Little Buttercup TRACK 8 I am the monarch.. When I was a lad TRACK 9 The Yeomen of the Guard is the most 'operatic' of the Gilbet & Sullivan works, full of rich texture and subtle color. Sullivan's stirring overture is one of his finest orchestral settings. In the first chorus, a tough 16th century street crowd is brilliantly evoked by Gilbert's use of archaic vocabulary with alliteration and by Sullivans' use of hard driving rhythms with angular uneven meters, jarring dissonance and stark modal harmony. In 'I have a song to sing' each verse is longer than the last, it's structure finds many precedents in English folksong and was inspired by a sea chantey sung by the crewmen on Gilbert's yacht. The lyrics mirror the story of the opera's central love triangle the way Jack Point wishes it would turn out, the next selection, 'When a wooer goes a-wooing,' presents the reality of what actually happens. In between comes a paean to the grim glory of the Tower of London, where the story is set in a historical context. Overture TRACK 10 Here's a man...I have a song to sing, O TRACK 11 When our gallant Norman foes TRACK 12 When a wooer goes a-wooing TRACK 13 The Gondoliers presents a world where 'all is merry May.' It is as sunny and upbeat as Yeomen is shadowed. The first selection here is extracted from the ebullient 20-minute musical extravaganza that opens the work, rich in Italianate melodies and Italian lyrics to set the mood. The second selection poses a universal Gilbertian philosophic point: 'take life as it comes.' Buon giorno... We're called gondolieri TRACK 14 Try we lifelong TRACK 15 The Pirates of Penzance is the most 'child-friendly' of the G&S, with it's colorful pirates, comic police, and nearly non-stop action. It also contains the best-known and most often parodied pattersong and, in 'Poor Wand'ring One,' not only a splendid aria for a coloratura soprano but an example of one of Sullivan's deliberate and delicious borrowings from other composers, here, the classic 'Sempre libera' from La traviata. We leave you with the first, and still one of the best, of the G&S 'double choruses,' as the Victorian maidens rapturously romanticize 'death and glory' to the more realistically apprehensive policemen. Hail, Poetry TRACK 16 I am the very model TRACK 17 Poor wand'ring one TRACK 18 When the foeman bares his steel TRACK 19 New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players Albert Bergeret, Artistic Director Andrea Stryker-Rodda, Assistant Music Director and Rehearsal Accompanist Lucy Ito, Sally Small, Production Assistants Larry Tietze, Orchestra Manager NYGASP Ensemble SOPRANOS: Robin Bartunek, Meredith Borden, Kimilee Bryant, Susan Case, Charlotte Detrick, Lynelle Johnson, Margaretha Ohse, Laurelyn Watson, Lauren Wenegrat ALTOS: Lee Berman, Victoria Devany, Laura Koeneman, Melissa Parks, Ariane Reinhart, Angela Smith, Maariana Vikse, Lara Wilson TENORS: Michael Connolly, Thomas Donelan, Michael Galante, Michael Scott Harris, Alan Hill, Keith Jameson, Mark Montague, Larry Raiken, Paul Sigrist BARITONES/BASSES: Christopher Briggs, Louis Dall'Ava, Gary Dimon, Richard Holmes, Keith Jurosko, Lance Olds, Stephen Quint, Philip Reilly, Samuel Shaw, William Whitefield NYGASP Orchestra VIOLINS: Andrea Andros, concertmistress, Paula Flatow, Rachel Heineman, Valerie Levy, Maxim Moston, Eleanor Schiller, Svetoslav Slavov, Peter Van DeWater, William Zinn VIOLAS: Carol Benner, Carol Landon CELLOS: Daniele Doctorow, Amy Camus BASS: Deb Spohnheimer FLUTES: Laura George, Margaret Swinchoski, OBOE: Nancy Ranger CLARINETS: Larry Tietze, Joan Porter, Renee Rosen BASSOONS: Andrea Herr, James Jeter FRENCH HORNS: Heidi Garson, Peter Hirsch TRUMPETS: Terry Sizor, Richard Titone TROMBONES: Steve Shulman, Paul Geidel, Joseph Stanko PERCUSSION: Michael Osrowitz.- Shop: odax

Secret Lovers Garden
In an age of immediacy the idea of waiting sounds are hopelessly outdated. But that said, there is something to be said about anticipation. Such is the case with Kenyatta's new album. Yes, after an extended hiatus the sexy ambassador of reggae/soul has returned with a brand new look and a fresh yet deliciously vintage sound. He might have been out of the spotlight, but Kenyatta along with long time collaborator and friend Dwight Yearwood, had begun crafting Secret Lovers Garden (SLG) over a year ago. The album is the first installment of a trilogy of compilations to follow. By late 2010, the process of polishing and shaping the album was fully on. Daniel "Kenyatta Fire" Terrelonge was born in Kingston, Jamaica and his love for music started in the household. Whatever everyone else listened to, he did as well. In his mid teens, he began to write and it easily transitioned into singing. Kenyatta acquired his B.S.C.E. in Civil Structural Engineering but this wasn't the end for him. He was determined to make an impact with his talent so singing at local lounges cemented his musical mission in life and prepared him for his greatest works ever. It wasn't long after that he began honing his talents whilst attracting major industry figures and influences into his project. A long awaited but destined outcome. To Kenyatta, music is as natural as breathing. When he adds his voice to a song, it is sure to be a bold and purposeful hit. His vocals are smooth, powerful and sultry. Secret Lovers Garden gives you diversity with the tracks touching various genres ranging from pop to reggae. The album can be basically considered as a 'melting pot' of genres - mixed all together yet the finish product ends up as a timeless piece of art work. Soulful. Sensual. Crisp. Sweet. Creative. These are five words that can be used to describe SLG. Each of the tracks will provide the listener with a unique and refreshing listening experience. Everything that Kenyatta gives you is genuine. His music is full of melodies, harmonies, ballads with such smooth hooks, metaphors and similes. What a fusion of sound. He is an incredible artist with incredible talent. Composed of eleven indelible songs Secret Lovers Garden finds Kenyatta exploring life with veracity and purpose. Opening with a thumping house arrangement, the first single, "A Little Dance," is nostalgic, ("bring your body tonight") and yet undeniably passionate. "It's about dancing the night away" Kenyatta describes. Produced by Alex Barnwell this song will get your heart and feet racing instantaneously. "Equally personal is "Is There a Way." Pushed along by a sturdy and incessant piano, Kenyatta, shifting from those oh so recognizable smooth falsettos and baritones, rides the melody like a man both possessed by and resigned to his feelings. "It's kind of about giving you all to the one you love yet the affections are not recognized and intercepted. What to do to get through to you to tell you that I love you. Produced by the infamous Jon FX. Another one of the many diamond talents influencing the album. Kenyatta has carefully orchestrated a media blitz with the release of the album. Critics roundly praised the album not only for it's musical Polish, but also for it's lyric maturity. Peppered by a funked up reggae, soul, house and popular music plus his Jamaican accent. It's very sexy stuff.- Shop: odax
