DON'T TAKE US FOR GRANTED.......2005-01-14
John Williams is a great player of the guitar and no two ways about that. Apart from his solo and individual performances, I recall his duo concerts with Julian Bream. Williams would sit upright, poised, aloof and above-it-all while Bream sweated and laboured, but when it comes to sheer aristocracy as a player I can't think Williams is the equal of the great Bream.
This disc is a very odd medley indeed. Stephen Dodgson's 'Fantasy Divisions' is an original composition for the guitar, and no arrangement is attributed to the three Dowland numbers at the start of the disc, from which I infer that they must be lute works. The others are arrangements either by Williams himself or by Steve Gray, or, in the case of the Lennon/McCartney 'Fool on the Hill', by Leo Brouwer. There is a vague link of 'London' in the music -- obviously Handel's English career happened there and several of the other pieces have the capital's name in their titles, but I would have liked less eclecticism in the choice of music, and I don't believe we would have lost anything by abandoning the half-hearted London theme. The recital starts with mediaeval music, skips to Purcell and Handel and then, via Elgar's ever-fresh Salut d'Amour, to a a complete ragbag of 20th century offerings. Dodgson's modernistic Fantasy Divisions are not likely to share much of a public with Lennon and McCartney, I wouldn't have thought, although I hope Ralph McTell's 'The Streets of London' will appeal to anyone who is not tone-deaf and who has any love of any kind of music at all. In my own view a love of music is a serious impediment to being able to tolerate 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square', although I owe to this production the information that the world owes this work to one Sherwin Maschwitz. Otherwise the Gershwins are here, as is Stanley Myers's Cavatina which was adapted for The Deer Hunter. I own up to an abomination of Noel Coward that turns me off anything bearing his name, and I find that Sandy Wilson's 'A Room in Bloomsbury' was partly responsible, alas, for launching the career of Julie Andrews. There are some orchestral contributions, but the names of the participants, other than the conductors, remain understandably suppressed.
I can forgive just about any compositional atrocity when the performance is of a certain stature. However I have to measure this record against a recently acquired disc of 'Spanish'/Catalan works from Bream, and the playing here just does not seem to me to be in the same class. Maybe Williams deliberately adopts a certain sameness of tone to reflect English pallor, but I suspect that the wonderful creativity and versatility of Bream is just not Williams's way of doing things.
The recorded sound is fine if unexciting, and the liner note moderately informative. We are not told who is responsible for them, and I can't say I feel particularly curious either.
Definetly for the Anglophile.......2001-03-20
For lovers of classical guitar and London, this album is a great addition to a good CD collection.
John Williams plays many of the songs on this album accompanied by full orchestra and chorus, and while the album does not bring out the extent of William's talent as one the world's best classical guitarists, it does evoke whimsical memories of London and is very well crafted. Let me put it this way, this album is best enjoyed on a rainy afternoon with a hot cup of tea. It is beautiful relaxing music that will not be dissappoint you.

Lesser heard Hanson pieces.......2006-11-04
If you love Howard Hanson, you will love these lesser heard works. Always up to the highest Hanson standards, each piece uses a different vehicle and different approaches to its subject. Yet each is unmistakably Hanson.
A Collection of Second Tier Hanson Works.......2005-06-16
Perhaps I'm mostly responding to the other reviewer who heaped praise on the Organ and Harp Concerto. I bought this CD mostly because of interest in this work. The organ and the harp are two of my favorite instruments in an orchestral setting. Two of my favorite symphonies include Khachaturian's Third and Copland's First, both which feature the organ. Here the composers understand the dynamics of the organ in an orchestral setting. And it works!
Hanson's organ does not.
Yes, indeed there are some beautiful passages in the concerto, and some garbage to sift through as well. But the organ is not the right instrument for the work. It is the opposite of the right instrument for this work. A little rearranging, and this concerto could be one of Hanson's best works. The organ immitates lines that could easily be taken by some brass and woodwind sections. These sections are precisely what this concerto is missing. It lacks variety, and the organ seems like filler. Would someone PLEASE arrange this concerto with brass and woodwind sections and remove the organ? Maybe take his good ideas and combine them with good transitions also.
The other works are additional treats. The Nymphs and Satyr are certainly standard Hanson works, calling upon the same sort of passionate romanticism found in his first few symphonies.
His last four choral works have some merit, but the choir quality could stand to be tweaked a bit (as seems to be the case in many American choral works recordings, especially Randall Thompson's).
If you own a few Hanson symphonies, such as Delos' set of symphonies, and are looking for more Hanson, this is a good place to start. But don't expect the same sort of Hanson genius found in, say, the second through fourth symphones.

Rich, versatile, and exotic sounds from a really nice guy.......2006-05-09
My son has everything Kanengiser has ever recorded,including his CDs with LAGQ (Don't miss them either. They're the group that says,"Hey, guys, what's the one piece that a) would be most difficult to transpose and play for guitar and b) would be the one piece no one would ever think of hearing from a guitar? LET'S DO IT!!!!!") My son has taken several master classes and even won a regional competition years ago at the raw age of 11 that K. helped judge. This guy is not only an incredible artist and arranger. He is also a gifted teacher. His love for opening music to the minds of young kids is contagious. Heck, I was ready to take up the guitar after I heard him speak once. Check out his buds also: Andrew York, Scott Tenant, and John Deerman.
William Kanengiser's Rondo Alla Turca.......2005-12-06
This guy is incredible. You will not be disappointed. He has the speed of full blown guitar shredder but plays so beautifully it'll make you cry. DO NOT PASS THIS CD UP!
