Impeccable English Style.......2007-07-13

If you favor blend, balance, pitch, and all the other parameters of the English traditional choral style, you'll be very impressed with the Tallis Scholars' refined presentation. the music speaks for itself.

The Tallis Scholars do their namesake proud.......2006-07-27

In the last couple of years, the Tallis Scholars have been compiling their sizeable recording output into attractive two-disc editions. Here, they've collected a large number of their interpretations of their namesake, Thomas Tallis. Tallis (c. 1505-1585) is, of course, one of the giants of Renaissance music, and he was certainly the greatest English composer of liturgical music between John Dunstable and William Byrd. I personally consider him the second-greatest Renaissance composer after Palestrina, but I'm not dogmatic about it. I love the music of Josquin, Victoria, and Byrd almost as much. Let's just say that, if you're interested in immersing yourself in the work of a single Renaissance composer, you can't do much better than Tallis.

These recordings were made 1985-1998, and they all sound great. Included in this collection are most of Tallis best and best-known works: the two Lamentations of Jeremiah, O Sacrum Convivium, Gaude Gloriosa, Tunes for Archbishop Parker's Psalter (which contains the theme that inspired Ralph Vaughan Williams' famous Fantasia), and the incredible 40-part motet Spem In Alium (which is one of the supreme masterpieces of the 16th century). Unfortunately, there are some notable absences, such as the Tallis Scholars' own recording of O Nata Lux. The Mass for 4 Voices, certainly one of Tallis' major works, is also nowhere to be found. Of course, there's only so much music that will fit onto two CDs, but it's still a shame that they couldn't fit at least one of Tallis' masses. Nevertheless, the music that's here is beautiful and powerful.

The Tallis Scholars themselves need no introduction. They're one of the most famous groups specializing in Renaissance music. It needs to be said, however, that if you're looking for "authentic" recordings (that is, recordings that approximate what the music originally sounded like in the 16th century), you might want to look elsewhere. The Tallis Scholars use female singers instead of boys or (ahem!) castrati (though it's doubtful that Tallis would have used or written for castrati himself). And one could complain that these recordings use too many singers for some of the smaller pieces or that the sopranos overpower some of the larger ones (like Spem In Alium). I'm neither an enthusiast nor an opponent of the authentic-performance movement; since we're listening to recorded music anyway, these issues strike me as moot. The Tallis Scholars are experienced and accomplished singers, and they achieve their primary goal: to provide superlative-sounding recordings of important early choral compositions. If you're looking for a fine compilation of Tallis' music or an excellent introduction to Renaissance music, this is it.

It's been six years since these same performers got together to create one of the decade's more unusual experiments in musical alchemy. Beginning with the raw materials of early music and modern jazz, the four male voices of the Hilliard Ensemble joined with jazz saxophonist Jan Garbarek to see what would happen when the proper measure of old music and new style were combined, shaped by the performers' considerable experience and collective aesthetic vision. The success of that recording, titled Officium, and subsequent concert performances paved the way for this second effort, continuing the performers' search for artistically meaningful, musically satisfying combinations of written music and improvisatory elements. The odd title of the new recording comes from a mystical poem by Friedrich Hölderlin, quoted in the liner notes and accompanied by pictures from Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal. Officium aficionados will notice that Mnemosyne is even more adventurous in its explorations, which range farther and farther from the printed page. Musical fragments and a general outline are the starting points for several pieces. Improvisation is more frequently and freely employed, but always adheres to an agreed stylistic framework. Alongside a Tallis hymn or a chant by Hildegard, we hear Iroquois and Peruvian song fragments, an ancient Greek tune, and a beautiful lullaby by Veljo Tormis. Garbarek's tasteful improvisations are appropriate additions, inspired commentaries. The Hilliards are even better than on Officium; their awareness and sensitivity brings everything together into a truly unified expression that shows the timelessness of music and reminds us that where rhythm, melody, and musical imagination join, different styles, centuries, and genres are not necessarily obstacles to compatibility. --David Vernier

A winter"s night.......2005-07-23

Though I am not much of an expert in music as to write a good review, I have enjoyed Jan Garbarek's saxo for many years now, and most recently his previous work with the Hilliard Ensemble, "Officium".
What else can I say?
Just imagine a cold winter's night (and nights are cold these day in the Southern Hemisphere), cudled inside your home, by the fireplace, with the company of a good book, smoking your pipe, sipping some good french brandy and listening this marvelous music.
What else can compare to such an experience?
Tomás Linn

horrible.......2005-01-13

Cheesy saxophone and Gregorian chants do not go together, or if they do, they'll end up sounding like this. The Hilliard Ensemble is wonderful and I love to listen to it, but not with a bunch of tacky and unnecessary smooth jazz lines over top.

Lovely indeed.......2002-02-25

I was fortunate enough to see Garbarek and the Hillard Ensemble perform pieces from this disc in Tokyo; one of the true surprises and delights of the evening (which I haven't found on the CD yet) was Garbarek's decision to quote from Albert Ayler's "Ghosts" on one piece. You might wonder with a classical vocal group who focus on early music and modern avant-garde choral composition have to do with Albert Ayler -- it seems a difficult gap to bridge. Hearing this two disc set will do much to make it clear. There is something genuinely spiritually uplifting in this music; it never approaches the New Agey wallpaper of Garbarek's weakest disc, VISIBLE WORLD, however -- it's not a tritened, mass-consumable spirituality at work here. There is grief, suffering, sorrow, pain, and fear acknowledged and embraced in this music; and yet it is still life affirming and inspiring (and beautiful to dream to). The spiritual aspect of Ayler's music, of free jazz itself, deserved the acknowledgement; Ayler was one of the most spiritually uplifting jazzmen of the movement, which often spoke in the idiom of the spiritual -- it would have been just as well (though far less moving, somehow, and far less musically appropriate) to quote "A Love Supreme"). Don't be worried by the unusual combination of jazz and classical elements; as another reviewer notes, Garbarek's voice blends in perfectly with the rest of the group, sounds a part of the whole. You'll forget that choral music usually doesn't include a soprano sax in a surprisingly short time. (Note - Garbarek brought a tenor to do the Ayler bit; I really don't know if it's on these discs, as I haven't listened to them in completion yet, but he does play tenor sax on them, so we can hope). Highly recommended stuff. The art for the booklet, by the way, is taken from Ingmar Bergman's SEVENTH SEAL, which is very, very appropriate. People who like and admire Meredith Monk's music (particularly BOOK OF DAYS, her finest work, by me) will appreciate this greatly, too. And vice-versa.

Uplifting.......2000-02-21

A fantastic journey through time and space, ranging from ancient Greece to present-day compositions by Garbarek. No less spirited than Officium, but much more varied. Whereas Officium was very much the Hilliards with Garbarek adding (at times rather exhibitionist) comments, here they play together almost as a band - and what a band! With beautiful packaging and stunning production, this is immensely enjoyable and uplifting.

Excellent performance on a great instrument.......2006-10-09

As an addition to the review below, what makes this CD the best of the Dupre series on Naxos are the performer and the instrument. Jeanette Fishell, who is a nationally known organist and champion of the works of Petr Eben, shows herself a brillant interpreter of Dupre who has his technique down pat. Her performance is exquisitely well-thought, is well-registered and delivers quite an emotional impact. I dare you to find a better recording of the 3 Preludes and Fugues.
The organ at St George's Nashville is the 85-rank Casavant Op. 3606 from 1986, located high on the east end behind the high altar and speaking directly into the nave. It is notable for its rich assertive principal mixtures, an expressive Positif section with a wealth of solo voices, and 2 ranks of big trumpets (hooded ones in the Positif, and festival ones in the west end). Legend has it that a Casavant voicer from Quebec, on hearing the completed instrument, said that he was satisfied with the whole, "but the 2-footer, the 4-footer...she sing, she sing!" And it is a fact that the upper voices carry exceptionally well in this acoustic, and to great (sometimes fiery) effect in this recording. Casavant Op. 3606 has been featured on several recordings on CD and radio, but it has never sounded better than on this CD.

Organ Pyromania.......2000-09-07

The Three Preludes and Fugues, in their time, were like no work ever written before. Composed as an entry in the prestigious Prix de Rome competition, they display astounding virtuosity, both in composition and in the performer. The B major Prelude and Fugue displays the typical qualities of a French toccata; dazzlingly quick handwork on the manuals with a profound, carillon-like melody in the pedals. The F minor Prelude and Fugue is far more subdued and vague about its statement, with much of it being played on Bourdons and Voix Celeste stops. The G minor Prelude and Fugue combines characteristics of both pieces proceeding it - the Prelude being soft and Presto, the Fugue being loud and Moderato. These pieces display a maturity well before their time, and if you analyse and dissect the pieces written around Op. 7, apart from his Quatre Motets Op. 9, you will not find anything as mature until his Variations in C# Op. 22 for piano, or his Symphonie-Passion, Op. 23 for organ.

Variations on "Adeste Fideles" were originally an improvisation recorded on a Skinner Organ Company Pipe Organ roll, recorded at The Skinner Studio NYC in 1929. These rolls were very similar to those used by Grainger and Rachmaninov to record their own works. This improvisation was reconstructed and edited by the American Rollin Smith in 1974. The variations open with the hymn played on foundations, followed by a variation featuring the melody on Cromorne 8', accompanied by Flûtes 16', 8', 4'. An amazing triplet variation on Full Swell with Swell-Pedal follows, then a fugue in the relative minor (E). The piece is rounded off with a short typical French toccata of 3 pages in length. This piece makes a great concert piece at Christmastide and it isn't too difficult for the average organist to play, given an adequate instrument.

Vitrail is Dupré's last composition with an opus number, and was composed to describe the stain-glass window at the cathedral of St Ouen in Rouen, where Dupré's father was organist. This piece is written from an artist's perspective, carefully detailing every object, no matter how small or insignificant, rounding off in an explicit coda of retrospective wonderment.

Listeners continue to get a taste for the Seventy Nine Chorales, written as preliminaries for the counterparts in name, written by J.S. Bach. These are great pieces to start students off with and are his easiest works, next to some of his Inventions, Op. 50.

Méditation, as the name states, is a quiet contemplation that was written for some friends as a contribution to their book 'A Library of Organ Music'.

This is a landmark set: the complete works of one of the most important composers of the 16th century, in performances of grace and clarity. However, you can get it for less than half of the US price by buying it at Amazon.co.uk. At GBP65.20, it works out to just over $100, or about $10 per disc--quite a bargain on a major addition to any serious early-music collection.

I first purchased Clive Romney's 2001 Primary Theme CD and instantly became "hooked" on the arrangements. Romney is talented with taking young children's voices and creating beautiful albums that invite the spirit into your child's life. Each of these songs on this CD are encompassed around the primary theme and will help your child become comfortable and familiar with the songs sung in sharing time.
