5 out of 5 stars The Ancient Christian Music of the Coptic Liturgy........2004-08-09

_Coptic Liturgies_ as sung by the Ensemble David is an excellent recording of ancient Christian chant and liturgy from Egypt. Having recently attended an actual Coptic Orthodox liturgy (in the US) I was surprised in retrospect how genuine this music sounds. Most of the chanting is done in Coptic, the pre-Arab language of ancient Egypt written in the Greek alphabet. Several Greek phrases were incorporated into the Coptic liturgy such as the well-known "Kyrie elision" prayer ("Lord have mercy"). The liturgy also makes extensive use of Arabic as well. It is sung to a simple rhythm and accompanied by two types of musical instruments: symbols and a triangle. There is some speculation that knowledge of ancient Egyptian funeral rites had a later influence on how the early Church set up its liturgical celebrations. There could be similarities between mummification rituals and devotion to Christ who died and rose bodily from the grave. In all, this CD provides a great sampling of a chant that has both similarities and yet remains distinct from other Christian chants such as the Gregorian and Byzantine.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2003-04-20

I bought this in paris, france 2000 at the institut du monde arabe for the exhibition of coptic art and life. The exhibit was excellent and this was the music they played and it is an excellent CD.

5 out of 5 stars coptic liturgy.......2000-06-02

excellent, deeply moving spiritual music from an ancient christian sect of egypt. i like the "Liturgies of Coptic Orthodox" better which is under the classical section because it is an actual holy week recording. it is much better. but this is great. both are a must. relaxing and deeply meditative and contemplative. you feel like you are in a christian village in egypt on a sunday.

5 out of 5 stars A modernist snapshot from 40 years ago.......2007-01-14

When he was a few years into the conductorship of the NY Phil., Leonard Bernstein decided to educate his audience with a large dose of contemporary music. He had the clout and the charisma to carry it off--almost. Subscriptions faltered; audiences walked out in mid-performance. Today they wouldn't have, not in an era when tonality rules and the 'advanced' atonality of these old works has become passe. Proof of this lies in the fact that no one has recorded the Feldman, Denisov, and Schuller again. Liget's Atmospheres has survived, focourse, and he went on to join Messiaen in the pantheon of 20th-century masteres.

As a snapshot of modernism this is an eye-opening CD; the program has been described in detail by two reviewers already. I will jsut add that I enjoyed Bernstein's typically emotional, romantic style, which creeps into Feldman's twitterings and Ligeti's fearsomely atonal sound blocks. Having premiered the Turangalila Sym. at Tanglewood when he was very young, Bernstein could have made a great recording of it. He dropped the work, however, so we have to settle for his wonderful, impassioned 1961 account of the Trois Petites Liturgies. It and the Ligeti are the lasting works, at least right now.

4 out of 5 stars A mostly excellent modernist mish-mash.......2004-01-11

This disc collects recordings of works by Ligeti, Feldman, Denisov and Schuller, recorded during Leonard Bernstein's brief flirtation with the avant-garde, and adds Bernstein's recording of Messiaen's Trois Petits Liturgies de la Présence Divine to fill the disc out to a packed 79 minutes. In some ways the disc is self-recommending, with no other recordings available of the Feldman, Denisov and Schuller pieces, but it does have some problems.

The performance of Ligeti's famous Atmosphères illustrates this very well. Ligeti's work (famous ever since the appearance of 2001: A Space Odyssey) is a slowly changing mass of floating atonal colours and harmonies with no melodic or rhythmic material to speak of, and thus it is rather surprising that Bernstein chooses to conduct it as if it were Mahler. His very fast, hyper-Romantic rendition does shed different light on the work than the classic recordings under Claudio Abbado and Jonathan Nott, but to me it sounds fundamentally misconceived--certainly it misses out on much of the orchestral detail that is so clear in the best of the rival readings.

Out of "Last Pieces" is Morton Feldman's second work for full orchestra (written in 1961 and not 1958 as the inlay claims). It's written in a graphical notation which gives basic details of what each instrumentalist has to play without exactly defining pitches, and will surprise those who know Feldman only from his later, slow, quiet works. Hyperactive, dense and full of detail, it's very much a work of its time, but still remains interesting today. I suspect the performance here is a little over-aggressive, but since this is the only recording this work has ever had, it remains a safe recommendation.

The Four Improvisations by the Orchestra are very sixties, very dated, and sound pre-prepared to me. Edison Denisov's early Crescendo e Diminuendo is similarly weak, and certainly shouldn't be compared to his mature masterpieces. An increasingly frantic harpsichord solo is accompanied by string parts that sound influenced by the Darmstadt serialists, before the music fades back into silence.

Distinctly superior is Gunther Schuller's orchestral triptych Triplum. Showing the dual influences of jazz and serialism, this is an ambitious, beefily orchestrated work. The first, moderately fast part is harmonically dense and gradually builds to an understated climax; the second part is faster, with vigorous rhythms and clearer textures. The slow finale brings melody to the forefront for the first time in the piece, with lyrical writing for the woodwind and solo strings against a floating tapestry of massed strings. The music gradually intensifies until it ends in a dramatic climax. This is a fine work, and its revival here is to be commended.

At one time, Bernstein had quite a close connection to the music of Olivier Messiaen (indeed, he premiered Turangalila), and it's easy to see why: the religious ecstasy present in much of Messiaen must have appealed to him. The French composer's Trois Petites Liturgies de la Présence Divine is one of Messiaen's most ecstatic works: a triptych of religious settings for womens' chorus, strings, piano, ondes martenot and percussion (unfortunately, the words are not printed in the booklet that comes with the disc). These settings are typical of 1940s Messiaen in their musical language, which combines consonant modal harmony, complex ancient rhythms, sugar-candy Hollywood cadences and occasional dissonant outbursts. Bernstein matches the religious fervour of the work with a rapid, intense reading that brings out the music's ecstatic qualities, though occasionally at the cost of a sense of repose. In some ways, though, the real star of the recording is the pianist Paul Jacobs, whose phenomenal reading of the piano part has never been bettered. Lovers of this work will want to hear this recording, even though Bernstein's rather extreme interpretation may not appeal to all (for my part, I rate it very highly).

This disc is well worth having, even though some of the recordings (particularly the Schuller) are starting to show their age. For those wanting the Feldman, the Schuller or (to a lesser extent) the Messiaen, it is a clear recommendation; those primarily in search of the Ligeti should acquire the second Ligeti Project volume instead.

5 out of 5 stars The Classic Performance of "TPL" back in print 30 years late.......2000-07-06

Leonard Bernstein was not exactly enthusiastic about the music of what 30 years ago was known as "avant garde" although he did eventually produce a rather stunning serial work in "The Dybbuk." His recorded legacy here is slight. Four of the five works on this disc were originally released together in the mid-sixties. "Atmospheres" (Gyorgi Ligeti) will be familiar from its use in "2001 -A Space Odyssey" and is a stunning piece in its own right. Morton Feldman (American) and Edison Denisov (Russian) will be largely unknown to most audiences - and the pieces herein recorded are not among the better examples of their music. Gunther Schuller, however, is a major figure both in the world of the concert hall and jazz - having long experimented with third stream among other things. His "Triplum" is a solid orchestral work in the later serial mode. The CD also boasts of several less than significant improvisations by the orchestra.

However, what redeems this disc absolutely is the incredible performance of one of the truly great works of the 20th century: Trois Petites Liturgies de la Presence Divine (1944) by the late Olivier Messiaen. This work, scored for string orchestra, piano, ondes martenot and women's chorus is Messiaen par excellence. Being a profoundly religious man with a concommitantly deep mysticism Messiaen frequently expresses his complex poetic theology in a correspondingly complex musical language. Don't be fooled by it, though, for his very clear debt to Dukas (Sorcerer's Apprentice), who was his teacher, Ravel and Debussy is apparent in every bar. This is exquisitely gorgeous music played for all it's worth by the Philharmonic. Bernstein never made a better recording. It's refreshing to hear the vibraphone played the way it was intended: with the fan motors on (i.e. "Vibra-phone"). The ondes martenot is also excellently integrated into the ensemble and NOT (for once) played by Jeanne Loriod.

The highest recommendation for this performance. Get it and forget the others. This should have been out thirty years ago. For shame on Sony and Columbia for keeping this one in the vault for too long! And why are those program notes so condescending and bereft of real information? Duck the liner notes and revel in the Messiaen (puns intended).

1 out of 5 stars Yuck!.......2000-05-17

Most of this music is totally unpalatable. Most of it sounds like the orchestra tuning up before a performance.

I don't wish to slight Maestro Bernstein or the NYPO, which I'm sure perform the music quite well. The problem is the music itself - it's the type of 20TH century music that sounds like composers picked notes at random and made up a score.

The final piece by Messiaen was a bit two atonal and "wierd" for me, even though I generally like Messiaen. The only piece I enjoyed was Ligetti's "Atmospheres" and the only reason why I liked that is because of its association with "2001: A Space Odyssey".

5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Introduction to Messiaen.......2001-01-23

Conductor Kent Nagano has emerged in recent years as one of the foremost interpreters of the works of Olivier Messiaen. This CD, released shortly before Nagano's superb rendition of Messiaen's lone opera "Saint Francois d'Assise", shows two distinct sides of the composer's work. The first piece on the CD, "Reveil des oiseaux", is one of Messiaen's earliest "ornithological" works. In it, the various instruments of the orchestra portray the distinctive voices of literally dozens of birds. The ensemble playing, led by the composer's second wife Yvonne Loriod on piano, is first-rate. The second piece is "Trois petites liturgies" is one of the great mystical works in the Messiaen canon. Though some of the choral work in this selection is not as crisp as one might desire, the overall impact is powerful and moving. For Messiaen fans, this is essential listening; for those looking for an introduction to the composer's work, this is an excellent place to start.

4 out of 5 stars Terrific budget compilation.......2003-01-08

Excellent budget compilation featuring familiar and unfamiliar material from two well-known twentieth-century composers. Why Virgin Classics paired the tonal, traditional Britten with the more atonal, avant-garde Messiaen is beyond me. Still, the five-voice arrangement of Britten's "Hymn to St. Cecilia" on Disc 1 and Messiaen's "Trois petites liturges de la Presence divine" on Disc 2 more than justify the modest price.

I'm knocking off one star, however, for the unbelievably skimpy liner notes and the impenetrable packaging, two faults common in the "Virgin Classics" line.
