Tantalizing tidbits.......2000-06-14

You may not love Paul Sperry's voice, but you gotta love his wide-ranging interests and his obvious joy in performing American music. Singers exploring the contemporary American art song will note numerous composers' dedications to this quirky tenor, and listening to his recordings, you quickly understand why. His interpretations go right to the heart of the matter, and proceed right over the top only when it's rigorously demanded in the music. Singers looking for new repertoire will also appreciate the extensive liner notes, in which Mr. Sperry explains where he found the songs.

The range of composers, beyond Billings and Bolcom to Weill and Weisgall, is maddening, giving a tantalizing taste of the diverse flavors of American song in the 20th century. The songs run the gamut of emotions, too, from Ben Weber's powerful 'Mourn, Mourn' to Cowell's sarcastic 'Who Wrote This Fiendish Rite of Spring?' to the loving memory of 'George.'

I highly recommend this accessible and communicative Sampler, and would also suggest that listeners try Mr. Sperry's more tightly focussed collection, Romantic American Songs.

American Song Potpourri.......2000-08-01

The 28 songs on this CD provide a broad spectrum of American art songs. JanDeGaetani possesses a beautiful mezzo-soprano voice and ideally expresses the proper emotions these songs require. Gilbert Kalish's piano supplies the necessary support without getting in the way of the singer. All in all, this is a good collaboration.

Kalish plays like a pig........1999-12-02

While I enjoyed De Gaetani's singing, Kalish's piano playing reminded me of a player piano.

a beautiful rendition of 20th Century American Song.......1999-06-06

This is a great album. It spans the spectrum of 20th Century American music from the tonality and romanticism of Stephen Foster to the experimentality of John Cage.

Jan DeGaetani and Gilbert Kalish, with their understanding and sensitivity to the music of their time, combine to form a duo that sets the standard for interpretation of this music.

Students, professionals, and general classical music lovers will cherish this CD in their library.

If you want an introduction to American Music of this Century, this album provides the most accessible doorway to the widest array of styles I have heard.

Between 1921 and 1925, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco composed 31 songs set to texts from Shakespeare plays. They are virtually unknown, yet each one is a little gem, as the present recital bears out. One does not turn to this composer for confrontational originality but for his elegant craftsmanship, unforced lyricism, tangy harmonic twists, and keen ear for word-setting. Soprano Anne Victoria Banks sings best when the dynamics are scaled down but is less adroit in her higher register, where her normally excellent pitch tends to wobble at climactic moments. William Wellborn's expertly shaded, idiomatic accompaniments seem a tad prominent in the mix. In the main, an ideal disc for singers and song lovers alike who seek effective 20th-century repertoire that lies off the proverbial beaten track. --Jed Distler

Not sound.......2002-07-31

Wrong notes everywhere. Not particularly musical. The only good thing is having the opportunity to hear all the songs. They are glorious.

Very beautiful 20th century Shakespeare.......1999-04-09

We have no idea what the music to the songs in Shakespeare's plays sounded like (with a few exceptions), so the question of authenticity has nothing to do with this lovely program of 31 songs from the plays filtered through the genius of this composer in much the same way that Villa-Lobos gave us Bach in a 20th century Brazilian transformation. Students of the vocal repertory will love this program and lovers of Shakespeare will be at the very least interested. By all means compare these versions of with those sung by Alfred Deller on a recent Vanguard Classics release--but one does not replace the other. A wonderful present for your Music or English teacher, by the way.
