Great -- but not for everyone
No doubt the Gershwin Bros. would approve of this gem from the 1970s. The vocals and the piano are both top flight. One of my favorites. But then, I have eclectic tastes in music, and not everyone on the room will approve of Joan Morris' operatic treatment of the ...

An Excellent Example of Modern American Composition
I had the double pleasure of hearing a performance of this live in Ann Arbor AND purchasing the CD for subsequent enjoyment. Bolcolm's composition, though somewhat dated (in the notes above you can see that this was actually written some time back) is still very ...

starting over
This is a very good cd for a trumpet player. Many songs of Herbert L. Clarke and Jean Babtiste Arban are there in their familiar versions. If you get this cd, you ought to get Cornet Favorites also. The solos on both cd's stick to the versions found in Arban's Complete ...

America's Musical Magpie
William Bolcom is one of the most innately talented composers working today. His enormous output varies wildly in quality and style -- rather like that of his erstwhile composition teacher, Darius Milhaud -- but when he is at the top of his form, which is often, he ...

Fantastic compilation of Old American Songs! This album was recorded about a decade ago, today - Nathan Gunn is a well known and respected opera singer, a title he truly deserves. You might check out his other album - John Adams: Shaker Loops; The ...

Bolcom - Piano Rags
Better to buy the sheet music to go along with this to realize how complicated these are to play. Murphy has that special 'bent' to play the details - there are no shortcuts in this set..

Klavier, 2004
wonderful collection
This is a great collection of rags of various styles. The Graceful Ghost is just a wonderful flowing rag bordering on classical, and at the other end is the very fun Entertainer's Rag. Richard Bowling plays them all well. The three Zez Confrey cuts are not to my ...

How About What the Composer Wanted?
Gershwin, Kern, Berlin, even Victor Herbert share the questionable distinction of having been "improved" upon by subsequent arrangers until the music becomes frozen and dead (funeral march arrangements of Blue Skies), or so "Jazzed up" that it is a distortion in ...

Back in 1974, mezzo-soprano Joan Morris, and her husband, William Bolcom, recorded "After the Ball," a collection of turn-of-the-century popular songs, some of which hadn't been recorded since the early part of the century, if ever. Now, after bringing their talents ...

This CD reveals Jon Nakamatsu's solid music talent
I am a big fan of Mr. Nakamatsu, and I thoroughly enjoy his performance in this CD. You will be moved by his precise, dynamic and brilliant performance. The music pieces selected in this CD may not be as familiar to many of us as the ones in his other CD (Chopin), ...
