Great Music!.......2007-04-25

I purchased this CD to accompany Laura Dyer's book "Look Who's Talking." The music is beautiful, the lyrics are very fun and my daughter absolutely loves listening to it every day.

Jennifer Smith.......2007-02-23

The songs are wonderfully written, but the vocalist is terrible. Her shrill, whiney voice ruins the songs and makes it very difficult to understand what she's saying - which is the whole point of the CD! i would not recommend this - sorry!

Little Language.......2002-04-12

"This product utilizes the latest brain research techniques and offers opportunities for interactive and cross-over techniques throughout the entire CD. I really enjoy using it in my workshops and children's story hours." Lisa Hoover, Educational Consultant and Children's Librarian

Little Language.......2002-04-12

Some parents worry if a child is slow to show language recognition or skills. These books and the music teach how to encourage your baby to make early sounds, even before words are expected. The concept she describes is easy to learn and will give any baby a fast track to language skills. Alan Caruba, Bookviews.com

Parent's Guide Review.......2002-04-12

"Mark and Laura Dyer have come up with a 20 song collection of speech enhancing musical selections for infants and toddlers. This is a great way for moms, dads, and kids to have some good quality time for learning and having fun. Laura Dyer, a speech-language pathologist with a master's degree in communication disorders, provides a helpful guidebook on how to utilize each song as an educational device. The book also offers helpful hints and answers to the questions many parents may have about their child's speech and language development...

The Greatest Violinist- But JOE VENUTI for JAZZ.......2007-07-02

Heifetz is the greatest violinist to make records. His jazz is excellent for a strictly trained classical violinist BUT Listen to any of Joe Venuti's recording of Summertime. It is magnifiently played by this violinist who had a classical technique but could deliver the jazz medium more idiomatically.
Classical violin players were oftened were amazed at Uncle Joe's ability to play off the beat and not what was exactly written. I confess- Joe Venuti was my great uncle but it is not just I who regard him as preeminent in jazz and he had a great technique and beautiful tone into his seventies.

Heifetz is my favorite classical violinist. Venuti is my favorite jazz violinist.

Heifetz Sounding Great........2007-02-13

It Ain't Necessarily So, But It Is. These recording from the mid 1940's sound great. The performances are of course wonderful, it is the sound quaility that will catch your attention, if you remember when they were recorded. Most CDs of recording from this era either have major noise problems or sound compression. This 2 disc set does not suffer from either of these problems. The team from Deutsche Grammophon and Andrew Wedman at Emil Berliner Studios are to be applauded. These are mono recordings but DO NOT let that stop you from enjoying them.

A great opera gains by taking on a taboo subject.......2006-06-04

I wanted to say something about sex in The Turn of the Screw, but first I should give a succinct review. This 1954 mono recording, featuring the same singers who premiered the work, has always been considered exemplary. Most critics believed it would never be equalled, and the performances from Jennifer Vyvyan as the Governness, Peter Pears as Quint, and David Hemmings as Miles probably haven't been bettered over the past fifty years.

But a recent recording on Virgin is superior to Britten's classic account in three ways. First, we get state-of-the-art digital sound that allows us to hear much more of Britten's exquisitely orchestrated score. Second, Daniel Harding's conducting is edgier and more gripping than Britten's, excellent as he was. Third, the singers are tenser, more psychologically attuned to the plot's homosexual overtones, than the composer ever allowed his singers to be--Britten kept the drama well inside the bounds of a Victorian ghost story.

So, is the new version justified in making us think of sexual repression and abuse rather than simple scary ghosts?

James's novella was a boring staple of high school English class when I was a junior, and yet I imagine it would have been snatched from the classroom if anyone had intimated that it secretly concerned pedophilia. All we talked about was whether the ghosts were real or a figment of somebody's imagination. The reviewer below takes it for granted that "of course" Quint was a pedophile who sexually corrupted (to use the Victorian term--we would say sexually abused) the boy Miles. Thus the story--and Britten's opera--unfolds through the governess's eyes as she gradually uncovers the sexual crimes of the household, and her mounting horror is justified, not by ghosts haunting the two children, but by knowledge of what Quint did while alive.

In James's case, I think there is room for more ambiguity, the sexual implications being directed strongly to the governess more than the children; the effectiveness of the tale lies in its sexual ambiguity. Is a frigid spinster being frightened by her own libido? But Britten was without a doubt a repressed pedophile (someone more politely termed him an "intellectual pedophile," which doesn't even make sense). Since Quint appears on stage as a singer who is just as real as any ohter character, his cry of "you belong to me" at the end, just as Miles dies, gains by not being ambiguous. A real male is seducing a boy in front of our eyes, and by bringing that out, a staged production can be much more frightening than James's tale.

Memorable Melancholy.......2003-04-01

The original version of Turn of the Screw, featuring the fluid tenor of the composer's lover Peter Pears, is still the stand-out. Based on a Henry James novella, this ghost story probes a very current theme (one found in the film L.I.E. or the Catholic priest sex scandals): man-boy seduction. Pears' character Quint (a musical pun on its use of fifths), the libretto implies with typical British indirection, had sex with the boy Miles.
Even from beyond the grave, he continues his seduction with the honeyed words of librettist Piper and some haunting mellifluous melody by Britten. Miles' sister Flora is suffering a parallel seduction by salacious nanny Miss Jessel, which is less compelling, perhaps because it's less dear to James' or Britten's "haunted hearts."

The children's governess, a prudish Pollyanna, is horrified as Miles and Flora begin to seem autistic, listening to other voices only they can hear. Miles utters blasphemies as church bells ring, a sign of his influence under a pagan and pederastic seducer. The showdown comes at the end when Miles dies inexplicably. Morgan of James' short story "The Pupil" dies in this way too; for Henry James, then, the tension of oncoming pedophiliac consummation is mysteriously fatal.

Tension and mystery pervade Britten's score, but so does the detached melancholy of the inevitable. Britten whisks us through a kaleidoscope of emotions in this atmospheric chamber opera--The governess' nervous anticipation before meeting the children, her excitement upon meeting them, her numbing fear that all is not right at the manor house Bly. The boisterous group recitation of Miles' Latin lessons transforms into the boy's solo lament "Malo."

Britten's melodies all over this opera are as catchy as pop song hooks. It is the best contribution England has made to a largely Italian art form. Its tension, horror, and otherworldliness are strangely addictive. The way Britten uses strings to mimic a horse-drawn carriage or piano to darken Mozart under Miles' fingers is brilliant. This is a brooding masterpiece that rewards muliple listening.

A Remembrance of a Gentle Genius.......2001-02-11

Would I be redundant to say I first heard him on the Midnight Special on WFMT while an undergraduate? But hearing him in concert was quite another reality. You should recall that in the 'sixties we had a social purpose behind "folk music," but never seemed to know from which folk the music came. So onto the stage walked this tall, lean fellow, in white tie and tails, his guitar fastened to him by a burgundy sash --- so that I knew I had an evening of art ahead of me. But how high that art I could not have guessed. This album is a reissue of the original vinyl which I possessed, a treasure to my soul, containing many of the songs I heard that night. As his agent Sol Hurok proclaimed him, he was indeed "The 20th Century Troubador." And as for those self-loving lads of the social cause, after this album, you'll never go back to them if it's real folk music you're after.

My all-time favorite album.......1999-07-01

Imagine my ecstasy when I moved to a small town in Massachusetts and found I could once again listen to WFMT on my cable, with The Midnight Special and Richard Dyer-Bennet's closing song of The Lonesome Valley. Imagine my dispair when cable dropped radio super stations. Fortunately the Smithsonian has released this absolute gem. All the tracks are superb. The guitar work is intricate and clear. His voice carries you. Listen to it alone with no distractions. When are the rest of the albums being released. Can't wait for #3 and #4.

Wonderful performances by a compelling artist.......1999-04-23

I can only echo the plaudits of the prior reviewers. These performances by Richard Dyer-Bennet are a treasure. The singing is beautiful and technically refined and the performances are studied in the best sense, without losing their emotional impact.

Bennet was always a great interpreter of a text, and displays a meticulous yet un-contrived diction that allows the listener to unreservedly appreciate it- rare for an essential "classical' singer in this genre.

My oldest recollections of hearing him are from the Midnight Special program in Chicago when I was a child and my father was a young Opera singer. My dad, who had relatively catholic musical tastes, was a great admirer of both Richard Dyer-Bennet's musicality and vocal refinement. I regret that I never had the opportunity to hear him in live performance. I am thrilled that these beautifully recorded performances are finally available on CD and eagerly await the other discs in the series. Anyone who appreciates fine singing owes it to themselves to buy this CD.

Absolutely exquisite........1998-10-26

I was influenced by the one review that was posted when I bought the CD last month, so I want to add my enthusiastic recommendation. The first band alone is worth the price of admission. Beautiful musical taste, perfectly executed. I can't wait to get the other 12 CDs issued by Smithsonian.

A superb folksinger's best work finally available again.......1998-07-03

Richard Dyer-Bennet was one of the world's most eclectic folksingers. A consummate vocal artist accomanying himself on classical-style guitar, he had performed and recorded extensively in the 40's and early '50's, but had never been satisfied with the quality of the recordings he'd made. In the late 50's, he began a series of self-published albums covering much of his vast repertoire. He had a recording studio set up in his New York apartment, where he created 13 LP's that were renowned for their superlative audio quality and performance artistry.

Dyer-Bennet's voice is unsuual - he was a counter-tenor through most of his career, only deepening his voice to a tenor during the mid-70's. This might take a bit of getting used to. But his collection of songs is fascinating, and his presentation exciting and enlightening. I believe Dyer-Bennet #1 is largely English and Irish songs.

Smithsonian recently acquired the rights to all 13 Dyer-Bennet albums, and they form an awesome library of folk music pre-dating the "folk craze" of the 1960's. I am eagerly awaiting the release of the other 12 albums.

Yup, it's great.......2007-05-06

Having just acquired this album and listening to it in one (l-o-n-g) sitting, I have to agree with everything stated by other Amazon reviewers. (I didn't think too much of Jerry Hadley, though.)

One other thing that struck me was the original spoken dialogue that contains quite a few references that are NOT AT ALL "politically correct" in today's social environment. I wonder how controversial it was when EMI was putting this production together; did they consider making changes to the original dialogue? Maybe it's like Mark Twain's Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer: a classic's a classic. Still, I doubt many school music programs are using this recording as a reference demonstration of American musical theater!

The historic set reissued at a "popular" price.......2006-10-30

In the fall of 1988, EMI made history by releasing a note-complete recording of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein's immortal musical SHOW BOAT.

Surprisingly, the original 1927 version had never been recorded complete. Those in search of the entire score were forced to assemble it themselves from a number of available recordings.

The record labels were not making full original cast albums in 1927, although a few of the original stars made singles of their hit songs. Brunswick issued an album of highlights from the 1932 revival but only 3 of the six selections were by members of the Broadway cast.

Columbia's album of the 1946 revival was closer, but limited to five 12-inch 78 it covered only nine songs and the new Overture created for the revival.

Columbia re-recorded essentially the same program for a studio cast disc headed by Barbara Cook and John Raitt.

Cook starred in the 1966 Lincoln revival, recorded by RCA Victor but again it is a fairly truncated album covering little more than the key hit songs.

It seemed strange no one tried a 2- LP set, but when the show was revived in London in 1972 the cast album for that production was issued as a single LP in England and a special 2 LP set in the U.S. Still, it did not contain the entire score.

Dozens of other SHOW BOAT discs had been issued over the years, but none of them included the complete score with the original orchestrations.

That is what made EMI's set so historic. John McGlinn conducts the most authentic reading of the score ever laid down. Two very full Cd's cover the opening night score (and quite a bit of dialogue.) A third CD includes cut songs, alternate versions and new songs added to later productions. All of this was accompanied by a very thick booklet (134 pages!) that contained essays on the reconstruction, a detailed synopsis, all the lyrics and text as included on the recording and dozens of photographs.

The album was a huge, expensive gamble that paid off handsomely: The recording went to #1 on the Billboard Classical charts, was a steady best-seller for years and then just as interest was starting to wane, a new stage production premiered to rave reviews in Toronto and then moved to Broadway where it won the Tony as Best Revival of 1995 (it was, after all, the season's best musical) and enjoyed a long run.

Now, EMI has reissued this recording at a budget price. No, you don't get the same detailed booklet but you do get the wonderful performances by Jerry Hadley, Frederica Von Stade, Teresa Stratas, Bruce Hubbard, Karla Burns, Dave Garrison, and Paige O'Hara. If I have any quibbles with this set - and I am not completely sure it even qualifies as a quibble - it is the somewhat mannered readings of some of the dialogue. On the other hand, SHOW BOAT is about a theatrical family so there's no reason why they would not play broadly when off stage as well.

In the end, it's the music that matters here and the fine performances supplemented by McGlinn's bright conducting make this an essential disc for any theatre fan's collection.

Favored cult folkie William Dyer-Bennet stood at the forefront of the folk revivals of both the 1940s and '70s, drawing from an astounding repertoire of traditional materials from his native England, the British Isles, and America. Highly mannered though never contrived, Dyer-Bennet stands apart with his precise, high pure tenor and classical guitar accompaniment. Drawing inevitable comparisons (as a more serious, though like-minded, archivist) to Tiny Tim, Dyer-Bennet is far more in the vein of sometime collaborator Burl Ives. The 16 ballads that make up With Young People in Mind showcase Dyer-Bennet's fine minstrelsy in fantastical story songs, each like a musical fairy tale. High points include classics like "Frog Went A-Courtin'," "The Tailor and the Mouse," and the beautifully rendered "Bow Down." --Paige La Grone

With origins in England and the United States, some resemble fairy tales, while others sound more like adventure stories, and still others seem just for fun.

Originally released in 1958 on Dyer-Bennet Records Volume 6. Original notes and song texts included; 18 page booklet. 35 minutes. "Probably we have no greater balladeer in America than Richard Dyer-Bennet.... No musically inclined family can afford to miss it." — Emma Dickson Sheehy, Parents Magazine

Album Description

Richard Dyer-Bennet was a major figure in the folk music revival of the 1950s and 1960s. He founded his own label in 1955 in order to avoid making the compromises in sound quality, repertory, and style often dictated by large recording companies. This reissue of the fifth Dyer-Bennet Records release includes folksongs and ballads such as "Greensleeves" and "Barbara Allen" from the 16th-century British Isles and classic American ballads and songs like "John Henry" and "I Ride and Old Paint." All are performed in the singular character and style of this highly cultivated intepreter of folksong. 20-page booklet, includes lyrics, 38 minutes.

An Folk Music Listening Experience Unsurpassed!.......2003-07-27

You may get the impression by reading the previous other reviewer's impressions that the music is 3 stars out of five, and nothing could be further from the truth. A little over a half-hour or not, it is really worth the price of entry here. So many beautiful, and touching songs, and in most cases, I have never heard more beautiful versions: "Greensleeves", in which he uses Elizabethan Age original lyrics, a "Barbara Allen" to die for (and not just in the tale), and my favorite, the haunting "Venezuela", plus one that will also get your rapt attention: "The Golden Vanity", in glorious version, with pacing and atmosphere perfect. I like very much Dyer-Bennet's "John Henry" here, too, and the bluesy intelligence to the guitar playing. The only partial downer is the grim and morbid tale of murder, "Lord Randal", which may make for difficult frequent listenings of the CD/album as a whole. Not lessened by talent or technique, but just the subject matter of this song. I hope John Schwartz will either withdraw or modify his review; he needs have the gift for the overview - namely, this record is so damn fine there is not only nothing wrong with starting your Richard Dyer-Bennet collection right here, and it has to be a thrilling treat to no end for those who are acquainted with other recordings by him only. Superlatives all around, please! There is no stretch in the least, in one saying the late Richard Dyer-Bennet was a virtuoso as a performing troubadour of folk song heritage from The British Isles and America.

Why do anything when you can forget everything?.......2002-12-05

Sadly I see this cd in quite a few remainder bins and rather cheaply priced in used cd shops. (Yes I know I should spend my time better, Mom.) Which is really somewhat tragic as there is some transcendental music on this disc. Some blame must go to Smithsonian for being such tight wads, there is only about a half hour of music here and they could easily have fit two volumes of Richard's music on one disc...

A friend of mine had dug up Dyer-Bennet's version of "Greensleeves" on vinyl at a flea market years ago but unfortunately we lost touch and I'd been looking for it for years when I stumbled across this disc. It is still my favorite version of the venerable old tune. The best tune here however would be "Lord Rendall" which wouldn't be out of place on a Geto Boys cd, with the poisoned narrator shouting to his mother about needing a rope to hang his treacherous lover in hell.

On the down side is yet another version of "John Henry", and Dyer-B's etheral voice is NOT suited for blues songs. However his take of "Westeryn Wind" rivals Alfred Deller's perhaps definitive version of this.

So what am I trying to say? If you enjoy haunting folk music this is your bag. Sure they could have been more generous with the material but there are fine liner notes and lyrics provided and sadly you'll probably find this dead cheap somewheres...
