V O C "Inferno" Album Review

Verdi singing to set the standard for all tenors
Placido Domingo's magnificent voice scarcely needs any introduction or praise or comments, as it is a splendid vehicle that speaks for itself. Not only is the voice - a strong, wood-grained, ringing tenor of a richer and darker sound than a pure lyric tenor - an amazing thing, a gift of God, but Domingo is himself a master of the technical demands of music (in addition to being a master of the technical demands of singing - not the same thing at all!) and a truly great singing artist.

That is, he is never content to sing without becoming the character, without expressing the emotions of the character.

The size, colour and drama of the voice make him an ideal Verdi exponent. Who could ever forget his magnificent performances in "Un ballo", "Don Carlos", "La Traviata", "Il Trovatore", and a host of other Verdi tenor roles? And the consistency of Domingo's vocal quality is something of a phenomenon. This man has had an enviable career - and it's his superb vocal technique that has carried him through it.

I particularly love the way that he varies the outpourings of that golden tone. At one moment it's all fire and blazing intensity, and the next it's a thing of restraint and tenderness. Is there anything at which to cavil in Domingo as a Verdi tenor? I do not think so...

The world has been fortunate to be gifted with such a tenor. If music itself adds meaning to our life and to existence itself, it finds an ideal servant of itself in this man who is certainly one of the finest tenors in the world.

This collection of Verdi arias represents not only the recordings of Domingo in the roles he's tackled during his long career (with some of the finest fellow singers you could imagine), but also some earlier Verdi that he'd not performed, and which he recorded specially for this multi-CD set. The result is a triumph. One can see the difference instantly between various characters - not an easy thing to do.

I would also like to recommend another set - "Der junge Domingo" (The Young Domingo), a 5-CD set released by BMG. I cannot find it here on Amazon, so I can only suggest those who are interested try alternative sources. It's a quite stunning collection - admittedly it contains "Svegliatevi nel cor" which I think is a mistake, but then it was recorded before the Handel revival and was thus less historically informed than one might wish. But really... it doesn't matter. The great beauty and intelligence of Domingo's singing shines through even that, and it's followed by a lovely "Il mio tesoro" from Mozart's Don Giovanni. Things get even better - there's a Donizetti aria from Il Duca d'Alba, the famous tenor aria from La Juive, the "Quando le sere al placido" from Luisa Miller, Lenski's aria from Eugene Onegin, some Gounod (including arias from Faust and Roméo et Juliette), the love duet from Madama Butterfly with Leontyne Price, and much more...

Album Description
Breed Nation is a San Francisco based artist that grew up running the streets since he was nine years old. Breed is by all means a realist. His music expresses reality, none of that fantasy rap.

Big "Chris" Album Review

Excellent CD
This is an excellent recording of popular hymns expertly arranged as big band charts. Chris McDonald did a superb job with the arrangements, ensuring that the entire CD has plenty of variety so as to not sound repetitive. Some of his arrangements are just pure genius - very interesting twists on the old standards. The musicians are all excellent players, the recording quality is great, and the solos are very appropriate for the songs (the improvisation is not particularly "note-y" but rather is melodic, while definitely sounding like it is coming from an accomplished player).<p>Again, I want to emphasize the variety on this CD - you definitely won't hear each song done the same way over and over. McDonald does a great job of passing the melody and background among the four sections of the band.<p>I am in a church big band that plays several of these charts (though not nearly as well), and they are all really great tunes. While it is not ground-breaking music, and serious big-band listeners aren't likely to say "wow", it is definitely an enjoyable CD for even serious jazzers.<p>I have a slightly different version of this CD - it contains ten songs rather than twelve. My CD contains "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Were You There", and I hate to see those not on this CD. This version contains four vocal charts - "He Keeps Me Singing", "Joshua Fit The Battle Of Jericho", "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", and "Let Us Break Bread Together" that are not on my version. I have not heard these vocal charts, but my band has played all four, and they are all great.<p>I also recommend the two Chris McDonald Christmas CDs. I don't see them on amazon.com as I write this, but they are both excellent CDs that are very similar to this.
