5 out of 5 stars Sonorous Beauty.......2007-03-10

When I first listened to Nightshade Rounds, I didn't find it all that great. Good, but not great.
But, like so many things that are sublime, you must experience them more than once to fully appreciate them. That was the case for me with this recording. Each time that I listen to it I like it more.
If you like solo "classical" guitar music, Sharon Isbin is a master and this is a must have recording.

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite records.......2005-04-18

I'm buying the CD now to replace my very-scratched LP. I'm no connoisseur of vocal music, but I am a big guitar fan (and player) and a Taoist, so "Big Chariot" speaks most eloquently to me... but the entire "Songs from the Chinese" set from Britten was a trememdous discovery to me the first time I heard the LP many years ago. And, as a bonus, you have those great ribald songs on it, like "To Couple is A Custom". Overall, a fabulous, unique find if your tastes run to voice+guitar+sense of humor.

4 out of 5 stars the britten is okay, but the rest is much better.......2003-06-21

most people will get this cd for britten's songs from the chinese, nocturnal for solo guitar, and the folk song arrangements included here, but these works are not among his best. the nocturnal is a little too verbose, and the arrangements of the folk songs aren't particularly distinctive. the chinese cycle is worthwhile, although certainly not up to the caliber of winter words or the michelangelo sonnets cycle. still, all three have moments worth hearing, particularly among the slower sections. examples include "the autumn wind" in the songs from the chinese and the first movement, "musingly", of the nocturnal.

along with these works by britten, the disc also includes other songs for guitar and voice and these are what make the disc worth getting. bream is ideal and masterful. i believe this is one of pears' later recordings, and he gets a little too carried away at times (for example, at the end of "i gave her cakes"), but he really shines in the pensive, lyrical songs of each cycle presented here, recalling his role as peter grimes. of particular note are his performance in seiber's french folk song arrangements, the first half of the walton cycle, the second lute song from britten's gloriana, and the fricker setting of shakespeare.

the sound has a few spots of static where the vocal was too loud, but they may have been present on the original recording. the liner notes don't include any of the texts, which is a pity, nor is the nocturnal divided into 8 tracks for its 8 movements. still, all in all, worth having if you're a pears or bream fan, and if you're a fan of britten you probably have this disc already.

5 out of 5 stars Britten flawed?????.......2006-10-04

Britten's Violin Voncerto is spellbinding. Hypnotic. For one of the reviewers to call it "flawed" means he must go to Suffolk, sit on the shingle beach, listen to the seagulls on a grey cold day. This is one of Britten's most awe-inspiring works. The last pages would bring tears to your eyes. Walton, a 2nd rate wife-beater doesn't even bear comparison. One of, if not the greatest violin concertos of the 20th Century. Vengerov is superb in his reading, and only challenged by Nadia Grumlikova, a recording to die for. Avoid Ida Haendel's ghastly scraping like the plague. But don't die without listening to this stupendous concerto.

5 out of 5 stars Vengerov is astonishing in two almost-great concertos.......2006-06-21

It helps to own the company. If EMI weren't a British-owned label, I doubt that two dyed-in-the-wodka Russians would have taken up Britten and Walton. How tremendous for us that they did. The Britten Violin Concerto is not a totally secure work. The opening movement is mysterious and haunting, one of the greatest things from this period in Britten's career. But even though a prodigy, he was sitll searching for his unique voice, and the slow movement and finale fall back too often on the musuclar modernist idiom of the Thirites, a style more suited to the bluff macho Walton (who hated Britten) than his younger contemporary.

However flawed the work may be, Vengerov gives the Britten the performance of a lifetime, with sympathetic accompaniment from his musical godfther Rostropovich and wonderful sonics from EMI. You are reminded again and again (as every audience is when Vengerov appears in person) that an artist with his gifts comes along once in a generation. Britten's uncertainty is shown in the fact that the concerto has six major changes of mood, often disjointed, but when he arrives at the most inspired ones, Vengerov makes this sound like music of genius.

The Walton Viola Concerto is musically a safer, less original work. It' played and recorded much moe often, however, because of hte scarcity of viola concertos. Purists may dislike Vengerov's fairly slow, ruminative first movement, and compared to the breathtaking tone of his violin, this viola sounds less striking. Even so, he brings his talent to bear with real expression and commitment. I don't think one should listen to all 64 min. of this CD at one sitting--the idioms are too similar in their muscularity and free-form shape. Also, neither work is immediately easy to absorb.

In all, a triumph for Vengerov. I won't return often to the Walton, but his Britten is indispensable--it redeems a neglected, near-great work.

3 out of 5 stars Mindblowing! .......2006-03-14

This CD has been hyped to the gills by the Classical Music press, and for a change the hype is absolutely merited. Vengerov's touch is absolutely perfect, bringing every subtlety of tone from his instruments. The Britten is ravishing, especially the finale, but the Walton is what really makes this recording stand out. It's difficult to believe Vengerov only learned to play the viola for this piece. His tone is by turns heart-meltingly warm and heart-breakingly mournful, and I can only hope it helps give this Viola Concerto more recognition for the masterpiece it is.

Rostropovich's conducting is also masterful.

5 out of 5 stars Mesmerized by Vengerov's Britten.......2005-08-28

Britten's violin concerto is right up there with the two Shostakovich violin concerti, and perhaps even better than they. There are indeed traces of the early and more daring Shostakovich in this work, but it is Britten's original genius throughout. In fact the work's premiere in 1940 caught much of the music establishment by surprise, since it was not the kind of music one would expect to hear coming from a 25 year-old who had a reputation of composing relatively lightweight works.

Vengerov gives a riveting performance. The first movement is darkly haunting: harrowing might even be a better term. Vengerov sucks the marrow out of this work; he is relentless. At the same time, his compatriot Rostropovitch plays the paternal role and gives the orchestra gentle, masterful guidance. The work ends, and one wonders: was this Schnittke? No, for in fact the work was composed when Schnittke was still a young child. Yet even in 1939 Britten had tapped into that dark rhizome of raw nerves that was later to so marvelously spread itself throughout the chamber music of Schnittke.

Walton's concerto for viola, though of a distinctly different flavor, is nonetheless on a par with most or all of Walton's other orchestral works: sophisticated, highly polished, modern, offering both style and substance. The work is of course in a more serious vein than one might be accustomed to hearing in Walton. And although it does not approach the pinnacle of Britten's concerto, it stands on its own as a strong and evocative work.

3 out of 5 stars Okay recording of Walton .......2004-08-15

Vengerov plays the viola concerto pretty well, although it is a little too slow for my taste. Of all recordings of the Walton Viola Concerto, Paul Neubauer's is by far the best. He has a superb sense of musicality and style for the piece. His bow control is something to strive for.

          4 out of 5 stars A "Whitman's Sampler" of British Music.......2002-04-11

          This budget collection contains selections from various popular British composers ranging from Clarke (Trumpet Voluntary) to Malcom Arnold. This is the kind of music that would (and often is) played on BBC "light" classical radio. Many of the pieces are familiar but the inclusion of Bridge's "The Sea" is a happy exception. The performances and sound are uniformly good and at this price you can't really go wrong. I enjoyed these musical bon-bons and unless you're looking for deep and serious works, I suspect that you will too.
          Recommended.
