Jesus Christ Superstar started life as a most improbable concept album from an equally unlikely label, Decca Records, which had not, until then, been widely known for groundbreaking musical efforts. It was all devised by then 21-year-old composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and 25-year-old lyricist Tim Rice. Jesus Christ Superstar had been conceived as a stage work, but lacking the funds to get it produced, the two collaborators instead decided to use an album as the vehicle for introducing the piece, a fairly radical rock/theater hybrid about the final days in the life of Jesus as seen from the point of view of Judas.

Omnibus Wind Ensemble - Music By Frank Zappa (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The Omnibus Wind Ensemble’s interest in Frank Zappa’s music dates back to the beginning of the 1980s, almost from their very beginnings. Under the motto “From Mozart to Zappa”, which also became the title of their first, widely acclaimed CD on the Opus3 label, they have had many of Frank Zappa’s compositions in their repertoire over the years. This Multi-Channel SACD contains 14 tracks of the music of Frank Zappa. Continue reading “Omnibus Wind Ensemble – Music By Frank Zappa (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Charlotte Church - Dream A Dream (2000) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The little girl with the big voice is back for a selection of popular Christmas songs and carols, ranging from the medieval “Coventry Carol” to the brand new title track, whose chorus will be recognized by classical music fans as the “Pavan” of Gabriel Faure. In between are pop standards like “Winter Wonderland” and Mel Torme’s “Christmas Song” as well as some less familiar fare such as the delicate calypso “Mary’s Boy Child” and the Welsh “Draw Tua Bethlehem”.

Anner Bylsma, who plays a Baroque cello in original condition, has written a whole book about the variety of bow strokes needed for this music. Fancying the use of the bow as an analogue to the use of a foil in a duel, he calls Bach a “fencing master,” a term that implies intense training, physical coordination used with spontaneity, and a readiness to change the approach instantly as each successive, fast-moving challenge demands. His playing makes the music fresh and new with a flexibility and vitality that illustrates the thesis of his book. Continue reading “J. S.

Hespèrion XXI / Jordi Savall - Orient-Occident (1200-1700) (2006) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

AliaVox’s Orient-Occident 1200-1700 is unique in Jordi Savall’s recorded output in that, despite the title, it has no correspondence whatsoever with any specific historical or musicological program. Rather, like the “East meets West” albums pairing violinist Yehudi Menhuin with sitar player Ravi Shankar, Orient-Occident 1200-1700 brings Savall and ace Hespèrion XXI percussionist Pedro Estevan into the orbit of Greek santur player Dimitris Psonis, Israeli oud player Yair Dalal, Moroccan oudist Driss El Maloumi, and three Afghan traditional musicians — Osman Ahrman, Khaled Arman, and Siar Hashimi.
