1.Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress by: Philip Langridge Cathryn Pope Samuel Ramey London Sinfonietta Riccardo Chailly October 17, 2005

Well, it depends what you want from a Rake whether this is the recording for you. Conducting, orchestra and some of the cast are superb. Sarah Walker's Baba is the best you'll find and Sam Ramey is in fine, though rather inexpressive voice as Shadow. Terfel is by far the more interesting interpreter but his voice either shouts or whispers with nothing in-between. His interpretation is unrealistic theatrically too and makes his difficult to bear repeated listening. I don't warm to Pope's rather lumpy Anne on this recording and she doesn't compare to Upshaw's glorious singing for Nagano but still better than the undernourished sound of York for Gardener. Langridge sings beautifully often, strains at other times (there is no rake who doesn't), ... Read More:

This set captures such excellent, vivid and clear performances that the story leaps out by just listening. You won't really even need to follow the printed libretto. Every single character is perfectly sung and the orchestra and conductor are in top form. The whole thing brims with wit and charm making it very very enjoyable. I have listened to it several times already.

4.25 Greatest Hits by: Johnny Burnette June 07, 2004

Johnny and his brother Dorsey were born and raised in Memphis, where they went to the same school as Elvis Presley and even worked at the same electrical company as Elvis, before any of them became famous. After a spell as a boxer, Johnny eventually tried to join Sun records but was rejected as being too much like Elvis. With his brother, Johnny established a successful songwriting partnership, writing several of Ricky Nelson's hits. Eventually, Johnny did find a record company with which he had some success and this compilation is proof of that. Despite the title, Johnny didn't come close to having 25 hits of any size - however, the few hits that he had are all here including the two big ones - Dreaming and You're sixteen, ... Read More:

Although its follow-up '...Grey and Pink' is more frequently hailed as the best Caravan album, I personally prefer this, their second effort. Though I'm not too well-versed in their mid-1970s period (my preference seems to have wandered off towards Hatfield & The North with Richard Sinclair and his bass guitar) I still say this with some confidence. '...Grey and Pink' is more streamlined and features a more mature approach to constructing the pop hooks that never fail to reel people in, but '...Do It All Over Again' has a far better structure and flow to it, faring much better as a listening experience and unhindered by the logistical difficulties of trying to tastefully dump a vast, side-long epic into its duration. The melodies ... Read More:
