The modern-day traditional Jewish music revival is filled with artists exploring klezmer's Eastern-European roots, but you'll hear no clarinet and little violin on cantor/educator Richard Kaplan's Life Of The Worlds. Although these are traditional songs, there is a broad range of the Diaspora represented on his second album, including Afghani, Spanish, Moroccan, and Algerian traditions. Kaplan dives into the sacred and the secular, the prophetic and the exultant, finding commonalities amongst different tribes and fusing them together. Musical accompaniment comes in the form of an occasional flute, piano, and violin as well as Moroccan clay drums, oud, dumbek, and other pre-modern-era instruments, but the instrument at the center of each song is Kaplan's voice--his high baritone majestically soars, quavers with sensitivity, and rings out with joy. To hear him sing solo versions of traditional Niggiun is to hear a world-class master savor the multifaceted nuance of each note and transcend the concept of song, turning it into religion and high art. --Tad Hendrickson
Album Description
A remarkable collection of vocal performances of Jewish sacred music from the Middle East, Andalusia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia - songs of exultation, longing, love, and Divine immanence - accompanied by an ensemble of masterful musicians.
Instruments include: oud, ney, kanun, Egyptian accordian, violin, mandolin, dumbek, doira, riqq, Yemenite can, tar, saz, clarinet, mey (Turkish duduk), tilinca (Rumanian shepherd's flute), piano, string bass, balaban (Klezmer drum set), cimbalom, and a chorus of voices.
Among many special songs, the CD features an 'eco-lament' (ecological lament) based on lament melodies for the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem. It is called "Lament on the Destruction of the Garden of Eden" (Kinah Lekhurban Gan Eden), and updates the use of these tunes to mourn the wounding of our larger temple, Gaia - Mother Earth.
LIFE OF THE WORLDS contains 18 songs, 77 minutes of music, and contains a 32-page booklet which includes informative song descriptions; all texts are provided in transliteration, English translation, and in Hebrew or Yiddish.
This CD was three years in the making, and presents the first recordings in North America of several songs from the treasure-chest of Jewish sacred music.

Henry Cowell, a few years before his death in 1965, chose and recorded 20 of his own piano pieces, going from his first composition (1912), spreading out over 20 more years, and, more importantly, over the width, breadth, and depth of the piano itself. The pioneer in prepared piano techniques, Cowell's approach, at times, is really an attack--he strikes with elbows, climbs inside and plucks strings, uses his entire fist on the keys as a way of changing harmonic direction. Amidst this modern mayhem lands strong marching melodies and charging, bright clusters of chords. The piano, as a response, grumbles, rolls, and purrs, and even Cowell's gentle stroking of the keys can sound like thunder. His techniques were so groundbreaking and unidentifiable that even Bartok wrote to ask Cowell's permission in order to experiment with clusters himself. --Robin Edgerton
Album Description
Cowell (1897-1965) invented ways to play the piano that no one had ever considered. Taking the whole world of music as his inheritance, Cowell created music which covered a wider range of expression and technique than that of any other American composer. Reissue of Folkways 3349. "A revealing reissue...You'd be thoroughly pleased you asked him into your house."-Classical Pulse
Customer Reviews:
Crumb, Ustvolskaya? No: Cowell was there before. Piano music of stupendous imagination and invention, way ahead of its time.......2007-03-25
I had come across the music of Henry Cowell through various collections including some of his orchestral and chamber works (some of his Hymn and Fuguing Tunes and symphonies, recently his Violin and Piano Sonata), but these are mostly conservative pieces (by the 1940s, after four years of incarceration at the Saint Quentin State Prison on a "morals" charge - he was bisexual - Cowell had completely changed his compositional outlook, as the pastoral, "prairie"-style 1946 Violin and Piano Sonata bears witness). I had read in the textbooks about "Cowell the cutting edge experimenter and innovator" from the 10s to 30s, but this is my first encounter with his early piano music. I wish I hadn't waited so long.
It is simply stupendous.
Many of these pieces are based on fairly simple modal folk or folk-inspired melodies, most of the times of Irish origin (the disc also contains a Japanese "Snows of Fujiyama"). Sometimes, in the music's chorale-like writing, you could be hearing a Busoni Bach-transcription ("Harp of Life"), Mussorgky's "The Great Gates of Kiev" ("Voices of Lir") or Albeniz' Iberia ("The Trumpet of Angus Og"). But then what you get as "accompaniment" (I am not sure it is the proper word) is breathtaking: deep tone clusters sometimes reaching two-octaves, as in "The Tides of Manaunaun", "Harp of Life" and "Voice of Lir", sounding like the deep rumbling or moaning of some mythological Celt God. Likewise, the tone-clusters of "Snows of Fujiyama" conjure a mysterious sound-world where the voices of nature intermingle with evocations of oriental bells with their complex and non-tempered overtones (there is also some of that in "Antinomy", where at one point the right hand apparently arpeggiates the keys so to produce the sound of a strummed harp.)
At its most exuberantly pounding Cowell's writing sounds like the early piano music of George Antheil, as in the dazzling "Advertisement" - but that was written some years before Antheil's piano sonatas - "Antinomy", "Amiable Conversation", "Jig" - but there is more to Cowell than pounding.
It is music of incredible evocative power and poetic invention. Cowell's appetite for bringing the inside of the piano out (quite literally, some times) results in uniquely eerie sonorities. I had thought George Crumb had invented the various techniques of string strumming and of altering the tone quality of the piano strings being struck by the hammers by placing the fingers at various points directly on the strings, as with guitar or violin. Not so: it is all there in Cowell, as early as the late 10s (try "Aeolian Harp", "Fairy Answer", "Sinister Resonance" and the mesmerizing "Banshee", of which it is difficult to think that it has NOT been composed by Crumb in the early '70s). I had thought that obsessive and angrily violent cluster pounding was a trademark of Shostakovich's maverick protégée Galina Ustvolskaya - no, it is all there in Cowell's "Antinomy" from 1914 (revised in 1959), in his 1916 "Dynamic motion" and his "Tiger" (c. 1928).
Though apparently Cowell "backdated" some of his early compositions, in an attempt to make them seem even more precociously innovative than they already were, to think that a 19 year-old youth was capable of such unbridled invention as marks the 1916 "Dynamic Motion" simply defies the imagination. There is something deeply moving about the sad fate of the early American modernists. The early 20th century United States harbored a string of great innovators - to Cowell one can add Ornstein, Antheil, Ives, to name but a few - that should have been greeted and hailed as beacons of a new era. Instead, they had to fight against an unwelcoming musical environment which ultimately succeeded in stifling or silencing their unique creative personalities. They were, of course, "rediscovered" from the 50s onwards (though, judging from this disc, Cowell's piano music doesn't nearly get the exposure it deserves). They were ahead of their times.
After about 48 minutes of music, the disc is topped off my an invaluable 13-minutes of commentaries by Cowell himself on the compositions featured therein, delivered with his inimitable accent. There can be no end to the praise that Folkways deserves for recording the composer playing his own works in 1963 (and the Smithsonian for reissuing it on CD), about two and ½ years before his death. He plays with awe-inspiring virtuosity. The 1963 tapes haven't aged so well, with some tape hiss that I don't find obtrusive but also numerous dropouts that are more annoying. But this drawback is of no weight in comparison to the musical and historical importance of the this recording, which belong to any collection of 20th century music. Don't wait as long as I did!
definintely not suitable for children, one song inparticular.......2003-03-16
I bought this CD, and I ended up throwing it in the bin the very next day. I bought it and I'm a bit of a ghost freak and I saw the song "Banshee," I put the record in and skimmed over to listen to it. I couldn't move I was white with terror. Henry Cowell is a good composer and all, but his songs are petrifying. I went over to my friends house and told him about the CD. He told me to bring it over. As I put the CD in the player. My friends 5-year-old sister came in and Screech went the song and as if the song were a magical spell, Alakazam! The sister went screaming with terror crying all the way up the stairs and daren't come back down until it was established that I had left the house, which I did immediately. I don't think anyone should waste their money on this. It is an unsuitable collection of screech, screech, ooo, I hate that sound.
........2000-01-22
Put a kid in front of a piano and the first thing they do is slam their fists onto the keys, creating an awful racket. That's what Henry Cowell as a mature composer earlier this century; he named the technique "tone clusters" and subsequently got famous for it. But that's not all: he reached inside the piano, plucked and strummed the strings creating eerie and gorgeous siren-like and harp-like noises. He often twisted the instrument into sounding like a full gamelan orchestra. Cage, Stockhausen, Zappa, Cecil Taylor and others took Cowell's cue and brought these techniques to radical extremes later in the century. This disc, recorded in 1963 shortly before his death, features Cowell at the piano banging out 19 short selections. The disc finishes with a fascinating blow-by-blow commentary where he described each selection on the disc and how he came to compose these revolutionary works

When you hear the methodical full-body slams (or so they seem) delivered by pianist Chris Brown on Henry Cowell's Dynamic Motion, it amazes that the composer scripted the piece in 1914. Exactly when the world was hitting its modern stride, when speed was vital, Cowell was plunging listeners into the most dense piano music ever composed, even using the term cluster to describe how the piano ought to be played in his works. This collection of 26 Cowell pieces focuses on the easily contained modern era, all of it composed before 1930 and most before 1925. Don't let that mislead you, though; these are some of American music's most maverick moments, times when Cowell made himself perfectly clear in declaring a new language for the keyboard. The pieces, while resolutely American in their declarative, independent character, are also painfully lovely, each suggesting (and many making abundantly clear) the profusion of tonal and atonal possibilities in different clusters. The performers are an adventurous lot, with Brown and Joseph Kubera the best known. But Sorrel Hays and Sarah Cahill do equally tremendous things with these works, exploding them for their full interpretive potential (as Cowell would want). This is one of the great piano-music releases of the 1990s, intrepid and sonically outstanding. --Andrew Bartlett

The Ink of Creation.......2004-08-26
Once again a bargain: for absolutely nothing you get the most well wrought Flemish music from the Romantic era. Flemish music is in essence pastoral, highly descriptive, lyrical, with all the bells and whistles it implies. The orchestration is always well written, the sound and invention are majestuous and there's often a strong but hidden undercurrent of mysticism.
Beautiful music at a very attractive price. To try out.
Romanticism from the Low Countries.......2000-07-20
So, now you can buy more CD's of Belgian composers than ever before! Try this one if you like unpretentious, romantic music. Benoit must have learnt a lot of Berlioz; Mortelmans has a great touch of his own and De Vocht is a romantic soul, lost in the last century. By the way: Volume 2 is excellent too and in 1991 Marco Polo issued a very fine Volume Zero with some other shorter scores.

Exult For Ervin.......2001-01-14
Booker Ervin made an amazing string of albums for Prestige from 1963-65, equal to anything in the Blue Note catalog from that golden period, and "Exultation" is no exception. On this album Booker is joined by Frank Strozier on alto sax, Walter Perkins on drums, and two Blue Note regulars, Butch Warren on bass and Horace Parlan on piano. (Ervin joined the latter two on Parlan's "Happy Frame of Mind, which is out of print domestically but still available as an import -- see my review.) The album's standout tunes in my opinion are "Mooche Mooche," and the soulful, groovin' "No Land's Man." The CD also features the "short take" single versions of "Just In Time" and "No Land's Man" as bonus tracks. While this is a terrific outing, I am only giving it four stars because "Exultation" falls short compared to his five-star efforts -- "The Blues Book," "The Song Book," and "The Space Book" (see my reviews). However, fans of the aforementioned five-star discs will thoroughly enjoy "Exultation."
