Wow. This cd is nothing less than spectacular. If you are not familiar with Dave Barnes buy this cd and fall in love. *Track 4, Someday Sarah* is my favorite as it sounds so familiar and fresh. Buy this cd, get in your car roll down the windows and go for a drive... it's that good.

Dave Barnes has grown on me faster than any artist in a long time. I first heard of him on Amy Grant's fanclub's website. I had to check him out to hear the "duet" he and Amy do (I Have And I Always Will)!!! I was pretty much instantly hooked. I have been telling all my friends and family about Dave and since there really aren't radio stations that play his kind of music I don't know how else we will get his music out there, but word-of-mouth is a powerful thing...thank you, Dave for making such a great record.
P.S. Brother Bring The Sun is a great listen too...check it out!!!

Why isn't this guy a star?.......2007-01-30

Dave Barnes should be famous. In circles, he is...his fans are legion in Nashville, and Vince Gill & Amy Grant lend their talents to this album. Bonnie Raitt approached him in a coffeehouse once to praise his work. Barnes has the songwriting chops and performing ability of someone with twice his years of experience. Chasing Mississippi is an amazingly polished blend of modern pop, late 70s/early 80s blue-eyed soul, and hints of country influence. "Stay Away" and comes off like a Hall & Oates classic, "Jackson" is a slow, sad bluesy-country lament, "All That Noise" and "Greyhound" are hand-clapping gospel-flavored stomps, and the rest of the album is full of great music. Highly recommended, and look for his other releases as well.

Dave Barnes is a Delight!.......2006-11-14

John Mayer highly recommended Dave Barnes on his website blog and I can surely say John was right. His CD is upbeat and catchy and the slower tunes with Vince Gill and Amy Grant are heartfelt. I have turned so many people on to this talented singer. Just waiting for him to come to CT - maybe he should open up for John Mayer!!! Just a thought !

A southern man full of soul sings to his wife............2006-07-12

Simply put, this album is great! Dave Barnes is a talented singer/songwriter and this time out he writes of his recently wed wife and their relationship (except for the break up song). Dave sounds very comfortably as he moves through these songs. His sound this time is less based around his acoustic guitar (although it is there) but more the musicians that play with him. Chasing Mississippi comes away with more of this funky blues rock feel to it; however, it still feels like Dave Barnes. This album feels more like a next step him I think. The quality of the production itself is very good. It doesn't feel like an independent record at all. Ed Cash did a good job producing this one for Dave. If you like singer/songwriters, soulful singers, or just good music then check this album out. Then after that check out his other album.

I have been trying to find this great singer on this mysterious burned CD I received from a friend. I finally found it and I am happy. Being an African-American I am not easily impressed by such an artist, but Dave blew me away. I am happy this mystery is solved. I am happy I have a name to put with this beautiful voice.

Fantastic CD.......2006-03-03

Dave Barnes has such real and raw talent, that this CD is a must have for all music fans. A subtle mix of Gavin Degraw and Marc Broussard...his music has a soulful, southern vibe and begs to be heard. It's definatly on my top played list!

GREAT Artist!.......2005-08-09

I saw Dave Barnes live, and I have to say he's an awesome performer. He really gets the audience involved. I actually met him afterward, and he's very down to earth as well. With that said, this is a wonderful CD. My favorite songs are "Until You" and "On a Night Like This." If you like artists like Gavin Degraw, Howie Day, and other "boys with guitars," I would definitely suggest getting this album!

just good music.......2005-08-02

i saw dave barnes play last night. i liked his music so much that i decided to pick his cd up at the merch table. i love his lyrics, very meaningful. he is also a good live performer, and seems really down-to-earth. i'm already a fan. i hope there is more good music from dave barnes to come.

Philip Glass, good stuff.......2007-05-14

While I like a lot of Philip Glass works, not everything quite comes up to standard. This CD however, is excellent, a wide variety of works and sounds, good performances, and very nice to listen to.

One excellent concerto and one good concerto.......2007-02-09

When I purchased this disc, I didn't go in with very high expectations. The majority of Glass's music lately hasn't been all that terrific, though it seems to be back on the rise again. That being said, the Piano Concerto No. 2 is an exquisite work and the Harpsichord Concerto is, at least, a delight.

The first movement of the piano concerto presents those very very familiar arpeggios but with a twist. Its a very exciting piece and, despite its slight unoriginality, very enjoyable. The second movement offers a stunning theme for a rather wretched instrument that almost destroys the entire piece. If you can ignore the Native American flute, you will definitely be pleasantly suprised by the sounds and sheer beauty of the themes that come later in the movement- they're not terribly Glass-like. The final movement is definitely one of the composer's finest works. Though again, not terribly original, the final theme for piano evokes the best memories of Brahms and Rachmaninoff, and that's no sarcasm. Just wait until the last three minutes and you'll see what I mean. Very stunning and almost challenging for the performer.

The Harpsichord concerto, while good, has only one fine movement to offer, and that's the second movement. The first two movements are nice, but nothing too great. However the second movement is a lovely, very pleasant piece. He forgoes his usual morbid tendencies and presents a very peaceful, loving piece that you won't soon forget.

I highly recommend this disc for anyone, Glass fans or otherwise.

the descent into self-parody is complete..........2006-12-22

The outer movements of Glass's "Lewis and Clark" Piano Concerto are merely bland and barely distinguishable from those of his "Tirol" Concerto, but it's the central "Sacagawea" movement that would almost be hilarious if it weren't meant to be taken seriously. R. Carlos Nakai has the unenviable job of noodling around on a Native American flute made to sound like an out-of-tune recorder playing Glass's unidiomatic and inane little ditties in a shameless attempt at P.C. multiculturalism that falls flat on its face. The descent into self-parody is complete with the Harpsichord Concerto, a ridiculous trifle of a piece possibly indicating that Philip Glass will crank out a concerto for anyone willing to pay for one. Coming soon: the Bongo Concerto?

Two outstanding keyboard concertos.......2006-12-22

Here we have the second volume of Orange Mountain's Philip Glass (b. 1937) "Concerto Project." If you missed the first volume of this series, featuring the Cello Concerto and the Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra, you missed some outstanding music. Although I slightly prefer the two concertos on that volume, the second piano concerto and harpsichord concerto presented on this release are fantastic as well.

The second piano concerto is subtitled "After Lewis and Clark" - so called as it was commissioned for the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial in 2004. I think the subject matter will only be apparent to most listeners in the second movement, which takes a form of a duet (with string accompaniment) between the piano and a Native American flute. Anyone who enjoys the energetic, yet hypnotic, qualities of Glass' work will definitely enjoy the first movement of the piano concerto with its irregular rhythmic patterns and intriguing harmonic shifts. The concerto's above mentioned central movement strikes me as a bit strange, and the timbre of the Native American flute is not always to my liking; however its inclusion ensures that Glass joins the ranks with Khachaturian of composers whose piano concertos contain bizarre second movement additions (Khachaturian included a flexatone). Things return to normal in the third movement, which begins with Glass' immediately recognizable do-da-do-da-do-da pattern. If you are not quite sure what I am talking about, listen to the song sample for the third track and you will know what I mean. Although the opening of the finale is serene in nature, the movement gradually picks up steam as arpeggiations and other instrumentalists are weaved into the texture. This movement is also notable for the incorporation of some lovely melodic fragments towards the end.

Similar to the first volume of this "project" the second concerto included on the release serves to contrast the first. The piano concerto, despite its constant soloist figurations, strikes me a mellow and reflective work. The harpsichord concerto (composed in 2002), in contrast, is mostly extraverted and is often playful. The more I listen to the first movement of this concerto, the more I love it. In this movement, the energetic harpsichord part, full of trills, intriguing filigrees and arpeggios (of course!) is contrasted against a descending harmonic motif that, despite its wistfulness, is totally endearing. The second and third movements (and I feel somewhat the same about the piano concerto) are somewhat eclipsed by the first movement, although both movements are still quite enjoyable. The second movement marked by a lovely melody and includes several charming woodwind passages. The lighthearted finale is filled with Glass' characteristic syncopations and forward momentum, although the ending strikes me as a bit sudden and leaves me wanting something more.

When describing these concertos, I think it is important to mention that neither solo part appears to be exceedingly difficult. Both parts are chocked full of "busy" figurations, but there is seldom a section that sounds tremendously tricky. In fact, the harpsichord soloist indicated she learned the part in a few days. The nature of the solo parts did not bother me, as the music was continuously interesting. But if you are looking for a virtuosic tour de force, you might be somewhat disappointed with this release.

In conclusion, Glass fans need not hesitate in purchasing this fantastic disc. If you have not acquired the first volume featuring the cello concerto and the concerto fantasy, be sure to grab that one is well. If you happen to new to the music of Glass, the concerto project series would make an excellent introduction.

Highly Recommended!

TT: 58:55

As a brief side note, if you acquired this disc and liked the second piano concerto you may also like Glass' score to "The Hours" which has a similar style. If you liked the harpsichord concerto and are curious about other such works composed in the "modern" era, I would look into acquiring a copy of Martinu's interesting harpsichord concerto.

NY Times Review "Philip Glass Casts New Spells, Including One for Children" 11/27/06 .......2006-11-28

BOUTIQUE labels run by composers and performers are supposed to be the hot new thing, but Philip Glass took charge of his own recordings in the early 1970s, when he began releasing his ensemble's performances on his own Chatham Square label. Mr. Glass has always been savvy about sound: his audio engineer, Kurt Munkacsi, has been a member of the Philip Glass Ensemble since the early days. Both Mr. Glass and Mr. Munkacsi have overseen most of Mr. Glass's recordings, even those released by other labels. And they have usually maintained control of the master tapes.

Not long ago, Mr. Munkacsi set out to archive Mr. Glass's tape library, which includes not only the studio masters but stacks of concert recordings as well. And the archiving project led to the next logical step: Orange Mountain Music, a label through which Mr. Glass could release new recordings and reissue old ones, as well as lending his spotlight to composers and ensembles he admires, as he did on Point Music, his boutique label for Universal. Lately, the Glass factory has been spinning out recordings every few weeks, both on CD and in compilations available only through iTunes.

The gem in the most recent batch is "The Witches of Venice," a zesty children's opera-ballet, set to a libretto by Beni Montresor and packaged in a CD-size hardcover book. The piece is about a boy who was born from a magic flower and lived with the king and queen of Venice before flying off on a wooden pigeon to rescue a girl of similar provenance from a group of witches.

The work has slipped under the radar of much of Mr. Glass's adult audience, and it is surprising and uncharacteristic. Its 24 movements are brief, and Mr. Glass's energetically rhythmic, repetitive thumbprints are everywhere; but so are sound effects that point up the magical aspects of the story, and stretches of dramatic, colorful scoring that is not immediately identifiable as Mr. Glass's. Who would have thought, back in the days of "Einstein on the Beach," with its embrace of nonnarrative theater, that Mr. Glass would someday offer vivid musical portraits of witches, fairies, ogres and a magical Plant-Boy?

Many of Mr. Glass's works are about discovery, sometimes spiritual ("Akhnaten") or scientific ("The Light") but often geographical, with social underpinnings. In "The Voyage" (two CDs), written for the Metropolitan Opera in 1992, the subject is Columbus, with a parallel plot about space travelers crashing on Earth. Where "The Witches of Venice" paints pictures with music, "The Voyage," like many of Mr. Glass's full-scale operas, is a grandly ritualistic spectacle in which staging is a crucial element, with the music often simply chugging along in support.

The ideal format for many of these works is DVD. Still, Dennis Russell Davies, leading the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and soloists and chorus from the Landestheater Linz, draws a solid, sometimes weighty reading that captures the monumental qualities one heard in the Met production.

"The Concerto Project, Volume 2" includes another installment in the discovery series, the Piano Concerto No. 2, "After Lewis and Clark." This 2004 score is built on an odd hybrid of Mr. Glass's ostinatos, Lisztian thunder (supplied with deft fluidity by Paul Barnes, the pianist) and an evocation of American Indian music. Some of the Indian themes have the feel of 19th-century salon music, but they work best in an attractive central movement dominated by R. Carlos Nakai's wooden flute.

The companion work is the Concerto for Harpsichord and Orchestra (2001), a Baroque-gone-haywire score in which 18th-century figurations and ornaments morph into (and sometimes escape) Mr. Glass's signature repeating cells. Jillon Stoppels Dupree, the harpsichordist, does a superb job of moving between the two worlds. (Ralf Gothoni conducts the Northwest Chamber Orchestra in both works.)

Also not to be missed is "Analog," which includes a vividly remixed version of "North Star" (1977), one of Mr. Glass's early Virgin recordings. Unlike most of his works of the time, this film score is built of short works that develop comparatively quickly. Joining it here are "Dressed Like an Egg" (1977) and an organ solo, "Mad Rush" (1980), previously available only in a limited edition given away as a subscription bonus for the long-defunct SoHo Weekly News.

The first Silver Jews album in four years is a triumph with its throwback '80s-synth ear-candy keyboards, slack guitars, and a sublime hi-fi sound that only a former lo-fi band can get. Breaking the silence, the indie-rock star-studded band (Malkmus and Nastanovich rejoin, the 'Bonnie' Prince, as well as refugees from the Jesus Lizard and Papa M ) play fearless off-center rock rooted in Nashville, reminiscent of both Vic Chestnut's realism and Giant Sand's recent innovations. Not to mention that David Berman is a poet, so each song is dense with imagery, the whole record effectively telling a ten-part, 40-minute story that is partly funny, always honest, and often dark. Witness Berman exploring overcoming addiction, ("closed sign swinging in the liquor store" "later I come to find/life is sweeter than Jewish wine") the complete despair that lead to his suicide attempt, "There is a place past the blues I never want to see again" on "There Is a Place," and a uniquely American desolation, "I've been working at the airport bar/it's like Christmas in a submarine" on "Getting Back into Getting Back into You." Fortunately, the Jews sound is big enough to contain Berman's lyrical shadows, and this juxtaposition of opposite elements (happy-sounding rock and introspective lyrics) results in a record that is wholly satisfying: not too overwrought and never self-assuredly slick. --Gabi Knight

Album Description

After a 4 year silence, David Berman returns under his Silver Jews guise with a new long playing album. And the songs are some of his best ever. How is it that one of Drag City's most popular artists has never toured? He is, and will remain, an enigma though his songs will live forever in your mind.

Love it to the Max!.......2006-05-17

If any of my frivolous nuisance lawsuits against Fortune 500 companies ever bear financial fruit, I would take some of my proceeds and hire David Berman to be "artist-in-residence" at my garlic farm / spiritual retreat. This is a tremendous record, noisy and accessible, with poetic lyrics and crisp production. The Eggleston photo of Martin, Bobby, and John on the front cover does an excellent job of getting this record started. Highly recommended and the perfect length for a recording - in and out in 35 minutes!

very good very quickly.......2006-04-05

i found this album by way of cdnow.com's similar artists links and the people that bought this also bought that section. usually they send me some random works but this time they sent a diamond. i never heard of the silver jews until about a week ago (so i missed their rather large catalog thus far) but this album alone made me a fan for life. the bassy lead vocals and the occasional female voice makes this countrified rock opus sound like the new pornographers jamming quick 3 minute songs with my morning jacket. this album is 35 mins long and every second is great. start at track 1 and after track 10 repeat repeat repeat!

I Saw God's Shadow on this World.......2006-01-19

We all experience this. You find the perfect bar, you frequent it every chance you get, start to soak in its character, invite friends to experience it with you and question the strength of your friendship when they don't react the same, then as soon you're worried it'll lose its charm, you find another perfect bar. The Silver Jews are like that. Dave Berman doesn't release records on a regular basis, which works to his advantage, as it allows listeners to live in the worlds of the songs, decompose the lyrics for hidden meanings and memorize each chord progression. Then, just in time, a new one is presented to the world, and a new obsession is begun. The bar comparison is a tad inappropriate this time out, Tanglewood Numbers is an attempt by Berman to document the last years of drug and alcohol addiction, and subsequent rehabilitation. What's fascinating about it is how different it sounds from the last Jews album, and how rocking it is. This is due in no small part to the aforementioned Malkmus on guitar and his Pavement bandmate Bob Nastanovich on drums (both were members of the original SJ incarnation and record off and on with Berman.) Still intact are the lyrics that are the real draw to any Jews album. Sadly, I don't have the liner notes in front of me to quote, but suffice it to say that song titles include Sometimes a Pony Gets Depressed and How Can I Love You if You Won't Lie Down?

It won't get more profound.......2006-01-16

One thing the following reviews make clear: Jews' fans are weird, man. Look at some of the reviews below. What are these people thinking and/ or talking about?
I will give you the skinny: this album is a little more rocking than the other releases (i said, a little, meaning there are some nicely sprawling guitar parts--thank you Malkamus), it's pretty fun, and it's equally genius as some other Jews' albums. Even the depressing songs are funny: "I've been living in a k-hole/ ever since you went away" and "woncha take this magnet and put my picture back on your fridge". Those are just classy lyrics, I think. You probably already own this album, if you're reading this. But if not you should probably check this out. And buy this album, too, for the cover art, because it's really nice.

Welcome back, old friend........2005-12-22

It's difficult to believe that at one time, David Berman was known as little more than Stephen Malkmus' fluky college roommate. Now an accomplished writer with a collection of poetry (Actual Air) headed quickly towards cult status, and five acclaimed albums on the highly credible Drag City imprint, Berman seems to finally be getting his dues as an artist. In the time since his career-best album, Bright Flight, Berman settled down into life in Nashville, domesticated himself alongside his new wife Cassie, presumably drank 20,000 (more) beers, became addicted to some hardcore substances, and alas, attempted to take his life. A true poet indeed. Luckily, Berman lived to write another album, the results being the recently released Tanglewood Numbers.
Once recovered, Berman began spending his days at home, collecting modest royalty checks-living off of less than $25,000 per year, a ridiculously low amount, considering his 1998 album, American Water, was regarded by many critics to be the year's best release. In time, Berman got the writing bug like he never had before, eventually calling on his all-star cast of friends and past band members to help him record what was to become his fifth full-length album in the spring of 2005. Along for the ride on one of the years most anticipated indie releases was Bob Nastanovich (Pavement), Will Oldham (Bonnie `Prince' Billy/Palace), his wife Cassie (Linda to his Richard Thompson), Steve West (Pavement), Bobby Bare, Jr., Paz Lenchantin (A Perfect Circle), Mike Fellows, and on again-off again Joo, Stephen Malkmus.
As far as album formats go, aside from the absence of his customary instrumental composition, Berman's auteuristic habits continue to be a key element on Tanglewood. Yes, as has been the case with each of his works to date, Berman's vocal quality has once again changed. Album one saw a new artist that really wanted to sing showing youthful conviction, then there was the clever whip of a bearded Berman who seemed to secretly love country music on album number two. Album three saw Berman and Malkmus often sharing vocal duties to indie-friendly results while 2001's Bright Flight saw D.C. transformed into a raspy country singer with all the answers. Truth be told, if you were to listen to TN alongside any other Jews album, you might forget it's the same band. Sounding old and beaten, campy and funny, Berman finally seems to be just singing; not over-thinking or calculating, Tanglewood might be the first true account of what David Berman really sounds like.
Musically, TN takes a slight step away from the Americana sound of recent releases with oftentimes poppy art-rock compositions. The songs are strange yet immediate as Berman takes the role of a modern day Shel Silverstein. Some songs, such as "Sometimes a Pony Gets Depressed" and "Animal Shapes" seem to be borderline kids songs in the vein of the Silverstein-penned "A Boy Named Sue." A good portion of the remaining tracks are, more or less, children's songs for adults; check the titles alone, "How Can I Love You if You Wont Lie Down," "I'm Getting Back Into Getting Back Into You," and "Sleeping is the Only Love." Berman's lyrical quality, while clearly strange, is still very multifaceted and rewarding, most significantly the open account of his suicide attempt on "There is a Place." Also of note is the return of Berman's great storytelling ability on the seven minute, word heavy-epic, "The Farmer's Motel," which is co-written by Stephen Malkmus.
Since the release of his second album, The Natural Bridge in 1996, Berman has been the songwriter to watch, delivering the indie classic American Water, as well as the Americana gem, Bright Flight. While the writing on TN can't stand up to such past masterworks as "I Remember" and "Random Rules," Berman has no doubt released another poignant collection that's sure to keep all his songwriter chums in check.
Everyone has a different Jews album of choice, and while Tanglewood Numbers might be his first release not to outdo it's predecessor, it still stands as a reflective, solid piece of work for Berman; and given the circumstances surrounding it, maybe the most important of his career. If you "get it," TN will leave you laughing, crying, and searching for the "repeat all" function. How many people really "saw God's shadow on this world?" Berman has, and as he sings "there was a place past the blues I never want to see again," on the closing track-you know he'll be back soon with more stories, jokes and coy insight.

This is the most comprehensive of Disney collections, though the Classic Disney series is more up to date. Spread across three discs, the set features hits and forgotten favorites from movies, TV, and the parks (although more thorough work remains to be done in the last regard). Since the Disney catalog is in a state of constant change, this is the only place to get some songs that aren't currently available; these days it's a rare treat to hear "Cruella De Vil" from 101 Dalmations, "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," from Song of the South, and Annette's theme from The Monkey's Uncle. A thick CD booklet is included, putting the songs in the context of Walt Disney's long, astounding career. --John Sanchez

The Best Dinsey Collection.......2002-01-25

This expansive and detailed collection of Disney music is the best out there. I've had mine since it came out in 1991, and I can't tell you how many times I've played each of it's three CD's!

CD 1 starts off with the first Disney song in a cartoon, 'Turkey in the Straw' from Steamboat Willie and travels through the years (and 27 tracks) to The Sword and the Stone with 'Higitus Figitus'. Along the way films such as Pinocchio, Fantasia, Melody Time, Song of the South, Treasure Island and Sleeping Beauty are covered.

CD 2 picks things up in 1962 with 'Supercalifraglisticexpialidocious', and runs through 20 tracks to 1991's 'Beauty and the Beast'. No rare songs are included on this disc, but a song or two from each animated film made in this time period is nothing to balk at.

CD 3 heads in a new direction (that of live action, cartoon series and the Theme Parks) and serves up many gems and rarely heard recordings. Some of the 31 tracks included are; 'Enjoy It', 'The Ballad of Davy Crockett', 'Mister Piano Man' sung by Annette Funicello, the 'DuckTales Theme', 'Meet Me Down on Main Street', and the entire score for the 'Main Street Electrical Light Parade'!

This set goes one step further by including a 60-page book that illustrates with words, and many full color pictures, Disney's musical legacy and packs it in a record sized keep-sake box. Much of the information in the book is enlightening and it does a superb job of giving backstory to the creation of the songs included. I've refrenced it many times and have always found it helpful.

Yes, this set doesn't include songs from Toy Story, Tarzan or any of the more recent Disney offerings, but remember it was made in 1991. No matter though, over 10 years later, it's still the best and most comprehensive collection to date and believe me, I have enough Disney recordings to know! It's IMPOSSIBLE to be disappointed by this collection!

I LOVE IT!!.......1998-10-03

I take a trip to DIsney World Florida every year and before this latest trip I got this CD set. It is great!! I LOVE IT!!

A must have for Disney Freaks!.......1998-08-24

This is by far my favorite of Disney Albums. If I could have designed it I would have made the first disc 100% animation, the second for live action and TV, and the third music from the parks.

The only reason that the score isn't higher is because I would have liked to have more music from the parks.

That aside, this is a great addition to the CD collection.

A Jewel in the Crown of Disney Music.......1998-08-05

The Music of Disney: A Legacy In Song is one of the strongest complilations of Disney music to date. The box set offers a sampling of timeless classics such as It's A Small World (After All), Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah and Someday My Prince Will Come. Not to be missed are some lesser known treasures including The Swamp Fox and Fortuosity. The box set features songs from theme park attractions, animated movies and cartoon shorts. With seventy-seven songs to choose from children and adults alike will be entertained for over twenty hours. The arrangement of songs also adds to the uniqueness of The Music of Disney: A Legacy In Song. Medolies of songs are arranged to compliment each other. Theme park songs are arranged fairly close together to allow an even flow throughout the cd. You will find no choppy arrangements in this compilation. Another feature that impressed me was the value of the box set. With the typical cd ranging from $12.99 to $18.99 for ten songs, it is a great valu! e to find almost eighty songs for about forty dollars. The title of this piece is correct in its wording of "A Legacy In Song." It indeed serves as a timeline of Disney music. I highly recommend The Music of Disney: A Legacy In Song to children of all ages. Its a way to bring home the magic of Disney into your own living room.

Album Description

The eclectic interests of pianist Paul Barnes have taken him from monasteries in the Judean desert to the Liszt Academy in Budapest. Exploring both minimalism and religious symbolism in music, Barnes has been featured three times on NPR's Performance Today and has recently performed in Jerusalem, Moscow, Greece, Seoul, Vienna, Budapest and in the major cities throughout the US.

Deeply inspired by the aesthetic challenge of minimalism, Barnes has given several world premier performances of works by Philip Glass and has published a collection of his own transcriptions from Glass's operas. Barnes gave the world premier performance of Glass's Orphée Suite in New York City in April of 2001. Orange Mountain Music is vey happy to present this collection of piano transcriptions of these major Philip Glass compositions performed by the very talented pianist, Paul Barnes.

Customer Reviews:

RAVISHINGLY BEAUTIFUL! SUPERB!.......2004-02-12

This is the best CD of Philip Glass's music played on the piano besides Mr. Glass's "Etudes" CD!

If you've never heard Glass's music played on the piano before, you should start right here with this CD.

Paul Barnes' transcriptions and performances are simply brilliant. He is obviously a Glass fan and has transcribed and performed these pieces with great sensitivity and understanding of the music of the legendary Philip Glass.

The Orphee Suite is gorgeous. Powerful, romantic, yearning, passionate, tender, emotionally charged- these are words that describe the Orphee Suite. Any Glass detractor with a modicum of integrity would definitely have to tip their cap to Mr. Glass and Mr. Barnes and give them their just due after hearing The Orphee Suite.

Mr. Barnes' performance of the Dance from Akhnaten is amazing. It deserves special note as well.

Kudos and thanks to all involved in producing this wonderful CD of beautiful piano music!

Great liner notes by Mr. Barnes top off a perfect package.

Highest possible recommendation.

Glass Transcription.......2003-07-17

Another great disc from Orange Mountain Music, whose catalog of recordings is swiftly growing. On this disc, Paul Barnes interprets several works by Philip Glass, which is really quite fascinating because, as Glass himself composes at the piano, it's not hard to imagine that this is how the compositions sounded during their creation. Barnes is not only a wonderful pianist but also a skilful interpreter of Glass's music, being faithful to the original and at the same time quite creative and always spirited in his playing.
This is a very eloquent recording, essential for anyone who loves the magnificent work of Philip Glass.

Customer Reviews:

Excuse me?.......2006-08-23

I'm sorry.. but I have to chuckle after reading these reviews. Serious trumpet players know David Hickman and his capabilities on the instrument, and, to be blunt, any comments that suggest that Hickman is "all technique" would be simply laughed at. He is a world-renowned performer and teacher who has done groundbreaking work with the Summit Brass and St. Louis Brass Quintet, not to mention on his numerous solo albums. Also, I suggest you look at the roster of his students at Arizona State University and write down some of the names. You'll see them again when they are successful orchestral players, chamber musicians, or solo artists.

Attacking the quality of Hickman's tone is pretty silly, anyway. If you've ever recorded an instrumental performance before, you know what I mean. Microphone placement and the acoustic quality of the venue (and many other things) make huge differences in how the recording will sound. It's not a good sound/bad sound issue; everyone's sound is different. Additionally, sound engineering technology today can make an 6th grader who started playing trumpet yesterday sound like Wynton Marsalis.

I apologize for not really reviewing the album (which is fantastic) here. Trumpeters, brass players, and all musicians would be doing themselves a favor to listen carefully to this album. Some fabulous and important trumpet repertoire being performed by world-class musicians.

Good Technique, Tone needs some work.......2005-10-21

For all trumpet players, we all know that tone production is what we always strive for. Producing an amazing tone...that is a great accomplishment.

Hickman obviously is a good trumpet player but I don't think he's anywhere near the top trumpet players. His tone is very heavy, and loses liveliness. When you hear him playing the 16ths and 32nds, his tone seems to turn a bit feeble and the sound IS NOT CONCENTRATED....each note is not clear enough

If you want to know what I mean, listen to Hakan Hardenberger. He has got a very focused tone and a beautiful tone at that.

Also, Maurice Andre has incredible tone and technique, but a different style from Hardenberger. Andre's playing may sound different too since he prefers to use French trumpets.

Hickman is okay, but...........2005-09-20

For a REAL trumpet player, search for Amanda Pepping's newest CD. She is truly amazing.

Trumpet Student Must-have.......2000-10-04

Serious high school and college trumpet players will be well served by owning this album. It contains several pieces with which you will spend a great deal of time during your studies, and gives you a clear, precise, and very musical account of them. The Kennan, Stevens, and Dello Joio are probably the most often performed works, but the other works on this album make a strong case for more inclusion on recitals as well.

David Hickman is an excellent player who makes every phrase and articulation clear to the listener. I don't advocate trying to make one's performane a carbon copy of Hickman's, but this CD is an excellent model from which to work, and the number of pieces contained on the album make it a good buy for anyone who is interested, and particularly those who plan to study seriously, the trumpet.
