Great Composer, Great Pianist.......2005-03-31
This album contains a masterful interpretation by the spectacular pianist Denver Oldham of the beautiful, important, and often forgotten piano works of R. Nathaniel Dett. Perfection of expression is the most accurate way I can think to describe Oldham's performances both recorded and live.

More than Victorian sentimentality.......2006-08-30
It hasn't stood Tosti well that he was a favorite of Queen victoria's, or that his songs were a staple in parlors with potted palms. Ben Heppner here leads a one-man Tosti revival, accompanied by a salon ensemble that perfectly suits the sweet sentimentality of the songs. The singer clearly loves the music--he toured with this group and often adds Tosti to his encores. With his gleaming voice, Heppner lifts the gorgeous melodic lines into a higher realm. "Ideale" is the most famous and perhaps the greatest of Toosti's tunes, but there are a handful on that plane, and the rest bring nostalgic delight.
Full of atmosphere and taste........2005-01-12
Ben Heppner is a tenor of considerable ability, and he shows here that he is not simply a bang-up HeldenTenor. Several Tosti songs have of course been perennial favorites of tenors for generations, and a few of these are included here. His singing of A'Vucchella is very affecting, the tempo exactly what the tenderness of the text calls for. In whatever he sings, Mr. Heppner maintains a legato that sense of phrasing that is beautiful. I concur with a previous reviewer, that I would love to hear him do more of Tosti's songs; Luna d'Estate, Marechiare, etc. are simply great songs and I would be eager to hear Mr. Heppner apply his talents to these.
The chamber orchestra arrangements I found to be quite effective. It gives the entire disc a certain ambience of 'la belle epoque' that is wholly suited to the music. Very enjoyable disc indeed.
Ben Heppner Sings Paolo Tosti.......2004-08-19
Anybody who records Tosti songs today faces formidable competition from 100 years of recordings.Battistini, Caruso, Ponselle, Bjoerling, and Pavarotti---to name some Tosti interpreters I'm familiar with---set high standards in this material. In this august company Mr. Heppner fares very well indeed. His " A Vucchella" may be a bit slower than Ponselle's, and his "Ideale" slower than Bjoerling's, but Mr. Heppner finds in this salon music just about everything there is to find. His half-voice pp octave leap at the end of "Ideale" is thrilling and perfectly matched to the music. On this CD, Mr. Heppner exercises more than one ascending diminuendo in full voice without resorting to falsetto, and this alone justifies having this disc.He gets to the heart of this material without once lapsing into operatic overemoting or sentimentality. If he is more successful with the songs set to Italian texts than he is with the English- and French-language songs, that's very probably because Tosti himself seems to have been more successful in setting Italian words. And one has to be patient in listening to some of this material---particularly the English-language songs---especially if this CD is serving as one's introduction to the 19th-century salon style. We're not used to the salon style any more than we are with the silent-film style. We've grown up with different genres. On the other hand, Mr. Heppner's readings of the great songs "Non t'amo piu" and "Ideale" need no introduction and serve to demonstrate how good Tosti really is at his best. I hope Mr. Heppner makes another Tosti CD and includes "Serenata", "Luna d'Estate", "Marechiare", and the fourth of the set of four songs this composer set to Italian texts by Gabriele d'Annunzio. (Mr. Heppner sings three of that set on the present disc, in addition to "A Vucchella", the latter with a d'Annunzio text in Abbruzzese dialect. Both Tosti and d'Annunzio were born in the Abbruzzi.) Very sensitive accompaniments, clear recording, informative notes, full texts and translations. Don't miss this one.
Strongly recommended.......2004-06-16
While other tenors may have the name recognition, Ben Heppner has the goods. Heppner is no stranger to my CD collection, with numerous opera recordings as well as non-opera disks such as "My Secret Heart." What separates Heppner from the others is that he is ALWAYS at the service of the music. He approaches Tosti's songs in a manner that serves them, rather than imposing his voice/style on the music. This disc may not have the widespread appeal that "My Secret Heart" (should have) had for non-hardcore opera fans, but if you like this style of music, this is a fantastic recording.

good technique..........2007-03-12
sounds good, technically very sound. good if you want to learn the notes of a piece or hear the notes. Bad if you're looking for any musical thought/message. very boring and empty in that respect.

Incredibly beautiful contemporary guitar music.......2002-07-06
This is an amazing cd and I'm very surprised I've never heard of this composer before. The melodies are so evocative and heartwrenching, somewhat abstract, but always tonal. It speaks to my soul. There are some really nice faster, complex pieces to keep things interesting, but overall, this is music for contemplation. My only reservation is there is a harmonica featured on 3 or so tracks which is distracting. It takes some getting used to and reminds one of an Italian bandoneon player serenading someone on one of the canals, or perhaps Piazolla, though not so rhythmic and "tango-ish". The tracks with it aren't bad, but it plays the melody line and kind of changes the focus from the guitar. Overall though, it shouldn't discourage anyone from getting this one, especially lovers of contemporary guitar music, looking for something different.

Vested....real folk music.......2002-01-09
Tom May seems to have a handle on what folk music is really about. The songs on the album tell a story.....with great melodies and Tom's unforgettable baritone voice.
The musicians who join Tom on this release are also excellent...but Tom's guitar and voice remains on top of the mix.......
Tom is producer and host of the nationally syndicated radio program "River City Folk".
Listeners who enjoy Stan Rogers...David Mallett...Bill Staines......or Gordon Lightfoot.....will love this album. People who don't think they like folk music will also enjoy the musicality and prescence of this recording.......
