This was the first opera I ever saw live, during its initial London run a few months after the Aldeburgh premiere. I still carry vivid memories of that evening as a magical experience. And magic certainly lies at the heart of this entrancing (almost literally) piece.

From the sounds of the forest breathing in the opening string glissandos to the fairies' glittering benediction on Duke Theseus house at the end, Britten conjures a wonderful array of colours and pictures from his relatively modest orchestra. Each group of characters is given its own distinctive orchestral palette - strings with woodwinds predominate for the Lovers, the trombone fills in its fatter, comical tones when the Rustics appear, horns add a touch of regality ...

I first bought this record on vinyl in mono in the 1960's. Hearing it again on CD and in stereo is pure joy. The previous reviewers have remarked on the fun the musicians are having and the accessibility of the music. I must add that the bass playing by Ray Brown is superb, and plays a huge part in the overall quality of the music. More than just part of the rhythm section, his 'duet' with Clark Terry on Roundalay is one of the highlights for me. Unpretentious fun, with the very highest standard of musicianship from each member of the quartet.

Used Price: £3.00

Recorded in 1957, when the vocabulary of be-bop has become a normal part (probably) of majority of the jazz musicians active at the time, "Serenade to a Bus Seat" gives a remarkable and very creative workout within the style, making it somewhat more flexible than the founding fathers would have made it... Terry has a deep-rooted swing experience and he seems to use it in his approach to tone and sometimas phrasing, while the brilliant group assembled for this date mostly consists of players interested in stretching the boundaries of bop further (which, to many people's surprise, included inspiration from the past jazz styles in cases of hard bop and free-jazz)...

So - this is a be-bop record, a great be-bop record but not completely typical ... Read More:
