5 out of 5 stars One of the Gems of the Naxos Catalog.......2005-12-26

I remeber the first time I played this CD it captivated me from the very first note and gripped my attention all the way to the very end. The wildness of the Spanish mysticism expressed in this Marian music from 13th century Iberian peninsula recorded here exerts a hypnotic magnetism that is thoroughly engrossing.The music reflects the influence of troubadours but given the Eastern Orthodox origins of the cult of the Virgin Mary, Orthodox chant influences likely exists as perhaps do Sephardic and Muslim influences given that this region was a great cultural melting pot in its day. As usual, Ensemble Unicorn brings tremendous performing energy into the musical 're-enactment' so to speak, with an approach as far removed from the staid and academic you could possibly ask for.

As usual with Ensemble Unicorn recordings the sound quality puts that of many a major recording to utter shame. To be able to buy an audiophile grade recording at this represents a rediculous bargain indeed. That said, it is for the music you should buy this highly recommendable CD and one of the gems of the Naxos catalogue.

5 out of 5 stars Beatiful religious music well performed.......2002-12-06

The Spanish King, Alfonso X, compiled the Cantigas of Santa Maria which were published into exquisitely decorated manuscripts. The songs celebrate different aspects of the virgin Mary's life and are meant as prayers and meditations.
This CD contains only a few of the over 300 songs that were complied and offers a wide variety of musical styles which are exuberantly played by the Ensemble Unicorn---which has recorded many Early Music CDs for Naxos.
As usual the Naxos program notes are excellent and offer a novice listener a better understanding of the music and the time it was composed.
In the CDs which were compiled earlier in their history, Naxos does not include the words to vocal pieces. It would be better if the words were included, but I think the performance itself deserves a top rating,

4 out of 5 stars Typically good recording by Unicorn.......2001-08-29

A friend of mine commented that a male soprano is an acquired taste. The countertenor on this disc sings with a lot of conviction, and the alternation with the rich baritone make it very listenable. The instrumental improvisations get a little wild -- typical for this ensemble -- but they never sound completely improbable. These versions of Cantigas 18 and 295 in particular are possibly the best out there, and definitely the most fun.

5 out of 5 stars FABULOUS!.......2004-01-25

We had never heard of this duo before hearing them on NPR. We ordered the CD and absolutely love it! Very humorous and clever lyrics, with fun, lyrical music. Any child who like puns and play-on-words will find this delightful. Ranks with Tom Chapin's best songs (Billy the Squid, Backwards Birthday Party, Sorry, etc.)
There is also one beautiful, lullaby-type song, "King of my Mountain" with a wonderful message about simplicity, gratitude, and positive-thinking that I (mom) have fallen in love with.
Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Very fun disc for kids and the adults who listen with them.......2004-01-21

I bought this disc after hearing the delightful interview with this group on NPR's Morning Edition. It is one of those rare and wonderful kid's music discs that does not insult the musical sensibilities of parents and caregivers. Everything from blues, to rock, to country inspires these songs that are natural for dancing and singing along. The best part is watching my two-year old's creative dance steps as he bops along to Trout Fishing in America.

5 out of 5 stars Not just for kids........2003-10-29

I think I enjoyed this CD as much as my children. I Get Ideas is so much like my seven year old that it was scary but fun to look at life from another perspective. Each track is silly, intelligent, outrageous and most of all funny and there's something here for everyone. We play this CD over and over and over in the car and we have yet to tire of it. When is the next album coming out?

To speak of Conlon Nancarrow's music for player piano shouldn't be mistaken to suggest some still broader range of musical output of which the composer's piano rolls are but a subset. Quite the contrary: Nancarrow's meticulous scores--generally unplayable, at least by most primates--are the body of his life's work. This five-CD set contains dozens upon dozens of his studies, each a fairly self-contained exploration of tempo, pitch, rhythm, counterpoint--and the interaction between pairings of those core musical categories. Certainly, this is "difficult" music, hard on the ears, off-kilter in a manner that both demands attention and may repulse listeners unfamiliar with experimental composition. After initial exposure, this collection is the sort of thing that sits on the shelf for some time, before your imagination breaks its internal code. Once that code is broken, though, the vast life inherent in this "mechanical" music becomes almost intoxicating. On some of the quieter pieces, the piano's tone is similar to that of a harpsichord. On others, the palimpsest of ragtime is undeniable. Yes, some pieces seem overly chaotic, but spend some time with them and you'll see, in your mind's eye, dozens of hands working the keys. --Marc Weidenbaum

5 out of 5 stars symphony of a thousand (pianos).......2004-11-15

Imagine for a moment that you have entered a room full of slightly beat-up upright pianos. These pianos begin to come to life by sputtering out unusual, irregular melodies. The melodies don't fit together exactly, but somehow they seem right sounding together. Before you know it, there are so many pianos playing that you can't keep track of them all and they begin to accrue into an impossibly dense spray of sound. Even if you had a roomful of humans playing these pianos they wouldn't get the overwhelming, unswerving independence of each individual line in each piano. The pianos stop playing and you wonder what just happened....

Hopefully this description will give you some indication of what you're in for with these wonderful studies for player piano. Because Nancarrow was working with these mechanical instruments, he could combine complex ratios of rhythms against each other. Some are so subtle that no human could replicate them exactly. This is not to say that the music is dehumanized. It has a great deal of warmth and humor. What Nancarrow gains from the very mechanical nature of these instruments is part of the appeal.

These studies are as rugged and individual as the composer and, as mentioned earlier, Ligeti's Etudes would never have been possible without Nancarrow's wonderful music.

5 out of 5 stars piano revelations........2004-02-22

This stuff influenced Ligeti's "Etudes" for solo piano. The music is mind-blowing.

5 out of 5 stars Dizzying experiments by a brilliant maverick.......2004-01-09

A true compositional original, Conlon Nancarrow is best known for these mind-blowing pieces for player piano. Why this particular instrument? Because most of these short works are utterly unplayable by human beings, unless you are capable of say, depressing all 88 keys at the same time. While later in life Nancarrow also wrote a few small pieces for chamber ensembles, his work here is the core of his output and where his imagination truly took flight.

You may not be quite lucid after hearing something like Study No. 25, which has 1,028 notes in its final 12 seconds, or one of my favorites, the so-called "Canon X" (No. 21). It begins with two musical lines at opposite ends of the keyboard: the bass starts slowly and gradually accelerates, the treble begins in a super-fast blur of notes at the highest end and gradually descends, becoming ever-slower. In the middle of the piece, these two lines cross each other before they continue on their separate ways.

In study after study, Nancarrow explores complex relationships between meter and pitch, most of the time with absolutely astounding results. Some of these pieces are a bit more relaxed, with blues and jazz elements giving them an almost homespun quality. But soon the blizzard of notes returns, as the composer makes full use of the player piano's capabilities. You almost can't believe what you are hearing.

A word of caution: You probably don't want to program all five discs straight through. Well recorded as it is, the timbre of the instrument becomes wearing on the ear after awhile. Give your ears a break and to listen to something completely different, like Debussy, Copland -- or maybe Bob Dylan.

An essential collection for some -- I'm not sure whom! -- but something every listener should hear at least once.

4 out of 5 stars Intriguing Ideas, Experiment upon Experiment.......2000-12-30

Conlon Nancarrow is one of those composers who could exist only in real life, as he would be too implausible for fiction. Nancarrow was a composer for player piano, who spent much of his life an expatriate in Mexico, composing music steeped in both early 20th C. jazz and "modernist" classical traditions, and yet music that is entirely individual.

For me, Nancarrow's work functions best when he illustrates the sheer possibility of the keyboard freed from the limitations of a human player or players. The player piano in Nancarrow's work is an acrobat, ready to twirl on wires from which human piano players are unable to dangle. I find least satisfying the experimental works which are centered less on the possibility of the player piano, and more on the synthesis of 30s jazz into a unique classical aesthetic. I freely confess to being a listener rather than a musician in my own right, and some of the experiments just don't keep me hooked.

Still, if you're longing for something quite different and of high quality, Nancarrow may be what you are seeking.

5 out of 5 stars Expand your thinking about music construction.......2000-07-27

Re-open any closed ideas you had about musical structure, architecture, harmony, rhythm, melody -- and what brings pleasure to your brain. Listening to these pieces inspires whole new forms of composition.

    I have been enjoying these madrigals since they first came out on LPs in 1980--it's a wonderful collection of madrigals from England, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain and Italy. The Cologne Collegium Vocale, an ensemble of excellent, well-matched voices, sing "as one" and never lose the pitch, so that all parts are easy to follow.

    Hoping this set of CDs will be back in stock soon--after all these years, my set of LPs is pretty worn!

    5 out of 5 stars A wonderfully simple concept.......2005-09-13

    60x60 brings together 60 works in the space of one hour, each of them only 60 seconds long. This disc traverses an amazing variety of styles from well- and lesser-known contemporary composers. It never fails to keep me interested and I look forward to future projects along these lines. If the greatest impediment toward the mainstream popularity of classical music is the lenghth of many of the works in the genre, this disc does a fantastic job of dispelling the notion that great music must be long.

    5 out of 5 stars 60 great gems of contemporary music!.......2005-04-02

    To quote Geeta Dayal of the Village Voice, "It's like channel-surfing through experimental music"

    This is a wonderful CD of new and exciting experimental music ranging in all styles and genres. Each track is a new composition from a different composer and each track is 60 seconds or less. 60 tracks in all (plus a bonus "Welcome" track in the beginning)

    This CD is a must for anyone interested in getting a taste of the music being written by today's composers.

    5 out of 5 stars An essential item in F-D's huge catalog.......2007-01-08

    I know of two versions of Schwanengesang from Fischer-Dieskau in stereo, this one from the early Sixties and a later one (I think) on DG, both with Gerald Moore. There's also an early mono version with Moore on EMI that's rather immature and overly sweet---not a complaint one associates with this singer. Here he's at his very best, finding many shades of meaning in each song and varying the mood from light-hearted to tragic. Some of Schubert's most technically difficult writing is contained in these posthumous lieder, and F-D was perfectly equipped to handle them--he assails Der Atlas without barking or trying to fake a heaavier timbre.

    I have listened to every major lieder singer for forty years, and for me the masters of Schwanengesang on CD are Thomas Quasthoff and Bryn Terfel. Fischer-Dieskau yields nothing to them for technique and verbal mastery, but he lacks the psychological honesty and vulnerability of those two baritones. Having said that, this is one of his essential recordings.

    Here are five and a half hours of little-known music dating from the mid-12th century to the start of the 16th. Some of it comes from France (Provence, in particular), some from Spain (songs of praise to the Virgin Mary--many in amazing dance rhythms), some from Italy (songs of love and war of the troubadours). There are instrumentals with great vigor, complicated vocal works, chant, the expected music of praise, and a few unexpectedly ribald--almost lewd--songs. Taken a CD at a time, this is a magnificent journey, but be warned: being stuck in the Middle Ages for too long might make you yearn for those simple, high-minded times. --Robert Levine

    3 out of 5 stars but what are they saying?.......2006-06-06

    This is, musically, a wonderful set. But beware: there are no song text translations; a fatal oversight for six CDs of almost exclusively vocal music by composers to whom text was as important as melody, and in languages that don't exist anymore. In that regard, it was very disappointing.

    5 out of 5 stars A heapin' helpin' of early music.......2005-10-14

    Wonderful from start to finish, this set is quite a sampler, with enjoyable selections performed and recorded well. I suspect some accomodation is being made to the comtemporary listener here and some of the performances may not be 100% "historically accurate." But so what? I've been listening to this at home and while out and about on my iPod. There's quite a variety here which causes the set to avoid the "sameness" of many other sets of this type I've purchased. And the price is defnitely right, particularly for a used copy. What've you got to lose? Give it a shot!

    4 out of 5 stars Exclent cd for mediaeval music........1999-11-09

    If your just getting into music from this time period this is the cd for you. It gives samples of music that dates from the 1100s to the 1400s.
