4 out of 5 stars Nice Collection.......2007-03-05

I have many collections of Purcell's Music. This collection stands up to them at half the price. Solid buy.

5 out of 5 stars PERFECT!.......2006-10-26

There is only a word with which I can describe this set of discs: perfect!
The only flaw there is, is not related to the singing or playing: no text enclosed.

5 out of 5 stars Great singing and excellent value for money.......2004-09-19

This is probably one of the best anthologies of Purcell songs around, and not just because it's two-for-one pricing means it contains twice as much music (CD1:74'24" & CD2: 77'41")! Nancy Argenta has an irrepressible sense of style and crystal clear diction. But unlike Emma Kirby, whose vocal purity can become tiresome, these renditions radiate warmth. She is also, I have found, more consistently involving than any one of the singers in Hyperion's three disc survey of Complete Secular Songs (recently reissued as a single set). One marvels at how she judiciously balances restraint and emotional forthrightness. The accompaniments (archlute, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and organ) are well judged and blend with the voice, all helped by an excellently defined recording acoustic. This is an absolute winner at any price!

5 out of 5 stars More than two hours of beautiful 17th century 'ayres'.......2001-08-02

Two CDs, totaling more than 150 minutes of sparsely-arranged (never more than 3-5 instruments at a time), sweetly-sung, 350 year old 'ayres' (a typically English form of secular music). Nancy Argenta's soprano voice is lovely, silvery indeed as her name implies. The instruments are a discreet but friendly accompaniment to her solo voice. Perhaps the instruments are a little too discreet -- there are times when I wish they were a touch more prominent. But that is a very, very minor complaint. A beautiful collection, and quite well worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars In my next life..........2005-03-29

...I hope to come back as Tramaine Hawkins, or at least be good enough to sing in Walter Hawkins' choir. "Goin Up Yonder" is one of my all-time favorite gospel songs, and on a bad day it's a good reminder to find joy in today. Tramaine's voice is enough to make it all better. Every track on this cd is wonderful. I absolutely adore "I Love the Lord" and "Changed". And "God Is Standing By" is some kind of contagious, house-shaking singing, especially the second half. This cd would have to come with me if I only had 5 to take.

5 out of 5 stars Down Memory Lane.......2004-06-12

I highly recommend Alive 1 & 2 to those of us who remember the days of the 70s when gospel songs came alive. The Hawkins Family sung their songs with an anointing. The words of their songs could be understood, and they touch my soul deeply. I had been searching for these old songs, and I was delighted to find them on Amazon. I have ordered my set, and will enjoy them another 20 years! Get them, you won't be sorry!

5 out of 5 stars The best of the best...........2003-02-08

This was the first Gospel album I heard over 24 years ago even before I was saved. It touched me then and it touches me now. It's a classic in every sense of the word and each and every song still inspires and moves me to tears of joy. I highly recommend it for it's spontaneity, it's raw emotion and the best gospel singing I have ever heard. It's a must have for a true and true gospel fan's collection!

5 out of 5 stars UPLIFTING.......2002-12-29

Great! Tramaine Hawkins has been one of my favorite Gospel singers of all time. "Changed" is a very special /favorite song to me and it is a classic for those who believe and for those wanting to. This CD is well worth it for this song alone. However, there are several songs "Follow me, Going up Yonder", that the Hawkins family have made memorable and everyone listening to the CD will be uplifted. Love Alive 1 is a Gospel Classic and a must have for everyone and every family.

5 out of 5 stars Gospel Music like it should be!.......2001-11-22

I have heard many Christian artists over the past 25 years, and there fall under 2 simple catergories; 1)ANNOINTED or 2)ANNOYING. This CD is overflowing in the first catergory and is a fine example of how Gospel music used to be played between the late 60's and throughout the 70's. No synthesized razzle dazzle, sampling but musical simplicity connected with annointed voices.

Get this or regret it. Simple as that!

4 out of 5 stars Old School Gospel - Love it!.......2007-03-14

It's been a while since I got this one, but what I liked about this was that it was a holy spirit filled recording and it reminded me of my childhood when my Mom used to play what was contemporary Gospel then around the house. She sang along when I played this the 1st time. You gotta love the Hawkins family! Very good music and so anointed! You will hear some of the songs you are familiar with.

5 out of 5 stars POWERFUL!!!.......2007-01-16

Okay, I bought this only to listen to the 2nd CD. The fresh arrangements on these classics blessed my life as though I was listening to them for the very first time. If you love gospel music, this MUST be in your library!!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2006-04-08

My first introduction to gospel was at the tender age of 4 and it was to the Hawkins Family. I have since then loved their music and support them all the time. This CD was great! Marvelous and Cry on did it for me. If you are new to the Hawkins I would say try Love Alive 1 first then work your way down the line.

5 out of 5 stars Walter Hawkins is ever so "Marvelous"..........2006-02-28

He is the most anointed and gifted singer/song writer I have ever heard --- His voice is rich, & full of
god's Glory...when he belts out a song like "MARVELOUS" it sends chills thru-out my body and I can't help but give GOD the praise, honor & glory for such a magnificent performance!!! I have followed the Hawkins Family all of my life and their music is like something from heaven that's been enhanced by the spirit of the Lord!!
They are(with-out-a-doubt)my favorite, outside of the "Clarks" &
Donnie McClurkin...GOD BLESS & KEEP THEM ALWAYS!
Yours 'n Christ,
Iris Watkins :-)

The stars of this recording are Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music, entertaining us with rarely-heard instrumental pieces receiving their first modern performances with the endearing poignancy inherent in Purcell's music. McNair's gracile voice and accurate, easy-going coloratura capture the lyricism of Purcell's songs, but none of the subtext's vibrant passion. Emotional variety and vocal color are lacking when she repeatedly calls for Gabriel in "Tell Me, Some Pitying Angel." Still, McNair's light and pure soprano is enjoyable in small doses. When three or four plaintiff songs are programmed back to back, however, the monotony presents a fabulous opportunity to lull insomniacs back to sleep. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Surprise.......2006-01-01

Normally I run in the opposite direction of any baroque music - thought I had heard it all and had enough, but I love Slyvia McNair and I wanted to hear more of her recordings. This recording was such a wonderful surprise, not only interms of McNair's performance but interms of the overall presentation (organization of the pieces) and the energy of the performances by the AAM. I have new-found appreciation of Purcell's music!

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite CDs.......2003-01-12

When I listened to this CD, I fell in love with Sylvia McNair's artistic and beautiful voice along with Henry Purcell's music. This CD offers a style of music that I love to listen to and sing with. There is a mixture of instrumental only and vocal pieces. When I listen to this CD I feel like I have been transported to the late 1600s. The title "The Echoing Air" appropriately describes the beauty of this music.

Product Description

The fifth collection culled from the annual VH1 Divas specials is a little too genteel. Maybe because the producers are now old hands at pairing up pop's biggest female singers, and they know how to avoid potential fireworks. But it's the fireworks that make these records sizzle. Who can forget Elton John's rendition of "The Bitch Is Back" on the 1999 edition? Except for the rendition of AC/DC's "You Shook Me," inexplicably assigned to Celine Dion and disco revivalist Anastacia, which features blistering guitar by Meredith ("Bitch") Brooks, none of the cuts crackle. Cher's dance floor hit "I Believe" sounds canned and forced, and Latin firecracker Shakira goes low-key with an acoustic version of her soft-focus "Underneath Your Clothes." Even the vivacious Dixie Chicks can't rescue the record with their performance of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide," complete with Stevie Nicks. --Jaan Uhelszki

4 out of 5 stars Divas Las Vegas........2007-04-12

Really enjoyable special.
The highlights would have to be Cher's and Celine Dions performances.
Cher performs Believe and A Song for the Lonely and knocks them dead.
Celine performs Im Alive and A New Day Has Come and practically brings the house down. She was superb.
Other artist were good also, in particular Anastacia.
Very interesting to watch and great to own.

    5 out of 5 stars May be High Point of English Song.......2007-06-04

    Whenever I listen to any renditions of English art songs, going from Elizabethan times to the modern, as by Percy Grainger, I always dispair at how uninteresting they are when compared to the great German, French, and Italian art song repetoires. It seems as if the English can never quite wrest their genre from its folk roots and become a 'classic' music realization. I cringe at the Shakspearean 'hey nonny nonnies' and the 19th century compositions, none of which are as good even as Stephen Foster at his best.

    But here is Purcell, and I believe I've found an author of English song I can really enjoy. To be sure, he has not entirely kicked the straw from all of the lyrics, but out of this 74 minutes of performance, I can easily listen to it many times over. And, as it stands at the moment, the prices for these CD's are a real bargain, if you like English song.

      4 out of 5 stars Urgently recommended despite some production missteps.......2007-01-07

      This premiere recording makes some very beautiful music available for the first time. The opera was first performed in 1936, and Vaughan Williams continued to make revisions into the mid 1950s. The music is representative of the composer's mature style. In the opera's later version given here, Evelyn Sharp's original book was revised by Ursula Vaughan Williams.

      The Poisoned Kiss is a romantic comedy, a fairy tale about the triumph of true love over revenge. The opera is not through-sung; rather, the dramatic action is carried forward by dialogue in a manner reminiscent of Gilbert and Sullivan or the West End. At times, the witty, good-naturedly sarcastic text and playful rhyme schemes are reminiscent of Noel Coward.

      The musicians are just about ideal. Hickox leads a luscious performance, capturing by turn the music's pastoral beauty and (not very threatening) irony. The singers are of uniformly high quality, with the characterization and fresh voices of James Gilchrist and Janice Watson as the young lovers deserving special mention. Anne Collins's fruity, wide-vibratoed contralto at times seems to be a musical caricature, but it works nicely in the role.

      The production has two major flaws. First, the sound image is placed rather distant from the listener. I felt as if I were sitting towards the back of the auditorium and wanted to move up closer to the stage. The SACD's surround mode did add compensatory perspective and body to the sound, as well as a little extra punch to the thunder, cat shrieks, and other fairy-tale sound effects. The two-channel version sounded significantly flatter and more distant. Second, almost all of the dialogue has been omitted. It would have been enjoyable to hear the music in its dramatic context. Indeed, the abrupt juxtaposition of musical numbers that in performance would be separated by dialogue and a shift of dramatic tone is sometimes jarring. With less than an hour on each disc (and with singers who display such fine diction and acting skills), this is a major missed opportunity. Fortunately, the dialogue is printed in the libretto.

      Despite these quibbles, this set is still urgently recommended!
