Customer Reviews:

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-12-24

Thomas Campion (1567-1620) was a poet as well as a musician, and his songs definately reflect this ability, for they could just as well be read as sung. Philip Rosseter ( his friend) states that his 118 songs were "superfluous blossomes of his deeper Studies," no doubt referring to his Latin poetry , or perhaps medicine, which was his profession. What Campion did better than Dowland, or any other English composer of the day, was to "couple my words and notes lovingly together, which will be much for him to doe that hath not power over both." It is best to listen to them in order of priority to poem, melody and lastly singer. His melodies are simplistic and unadorned by shocking harmony designed to overpower the weight of the word itself. T.S. Eliot was in no doubt about Campion's quality:"except for Shakespeare, the most accomplished master of rhymed lyric of his time."
The performance of these songs by Drew Minter (countertenor) accompanied by Paul O'Dette (lute) is really quite outstanding. I must say that this disc is so much better than Minter's other disc of lute songs "Sweeter Than Roses". His voice had a much clearer tone quality and he did not get 'nasal' or 'edgy' as he is prone to do. He kept his voice light and distinct with very neat diction. When he goes for a loud full sound like Michael Chance or David Daniels his voice is not pleasant to hear. But this album is very good and his emotional investment into each song was excellent. Just a very good LISTEN!!!!

Serious Drawback.......2006-04-08

Elizabethan Songs. Twenty-two songs by Thomas Campion (1567 – 1620), performed by Drew Minter (countertenor) and Paul O’Dette (lute).
Recorded in November 1989 at Bethel United Church of Christ, Manchester, Michigan.
Harmonia Mundi. Originally issued as HMU 907023, now re-issued as part of the budget-price Classical Express series as HMCX 3957023. Total time: 58’23”.

Thomas Campion was a contemporary of both Shakespeare and Dowland and was a medical doctor who wrote poetry which he also set to music. Drew Minter performs twenty-two of these here with his inimitable coppery countertenor, a voice which is, in fact, very beautiful, but needs considerable getting used to if you are new to it. (Minter sings at alto pitch, but nobody would mistake him for a female!) He is accompanied by master lutenist Paul O’Dette, whose contribution remains fairly quietly in the background. The songs themselves are, of course, in Elizabethan English, making them rather difficult to understand. And this is where this CD suffers a serious drawback: the texts are not printed in the thin CD booklet; instead, there is a note saying that they can be downloaded from the internet, but when I tried to visit the site mentioned (on more than one occasion recently), the server was down, the address unknown. I nevertheless enjoyed listening, but without really knowing what Minter was singing so delightfully about. Campion’s melodies sound to my ear a little “samish”, and I occasionally found myself wishing that the program had been interrupted by a lute solo or two.

Pleasant recital of Dowland contemporary.......2001-03-28

There is little overlap between this Campion CD and the similar recital featuring another American countertenor, Steven Rickards, on Naxos. However if forced to choose between the two note that the Naxos release includes sung texts, while this one from Classical Express does not. On the other hand O'Dette is a more characterful lute player.

Fine recital of neglected composer.......2000-10-29

I'd agree with the earlier reviewer that this CD is for those who have already tried Dowland. However Dowland has been fortunate in the recording studio and Campion much neglected (this appears to be the only disc dedicated to him currently available) so Naxos deserve our thanks for having brought Rickards and Linell back together for a second disc. What is particularly encouraging is to find a whole disc of songs, not just a few raisins in a cake of viol music which is how Dowland and his contemporaries are normally represented. Not that I've anything against mixed recitals - the collaborations of Fretwork with Red Byrd are beautiful - but it tends to be the same better known songs.

The first recordings of early English music on the Naxos label (I'm thinking of Summerly's earlier recordings of Byrd, Tomkins, Gibbons) lacked texts, that has been corrected in later releases, including both this disc (timing 52:52), and the earlier Rickards Dowland recital (8.553381, 1997, timing 74:08). Sound on both discs is more than adequate.

Good Performance but the content?.......2000-02-01

I make no claims to being knowledable about the intricacies of this music. But if I were giving stars I'd give the performance four or five and the content...um...that's the hard part.

I bought this out of curiosity. Campion's lyrics turn up occasionally in anthologies of poetry and I was curious to hear the songs. I own Rickards and Linell's "Dowland: Flow my tears and other lute songs" and i play it often so I also wanted to know what Dowland's competition sounded like.

Firstly, the performance is of the same high standard as on the other disk. Which is good. Linell plays well and Rickards' voice is fine. The liner notes provide good background information as well as the words to the songs. The only real complaint I could have about the performance is probably related to production: The lute sounds small, thin and distant compared with, say, Bream's lute on "The golden age of English Lute music" or Lindberg's on "The complete solo lute music". This is true of the pair's Dowland recording as well but it may only be a drawback if you're trying to use the performances as a guide to playing the songs yourself. ( I was).

The real drawback to this recording though is the material. Play the Dowland and you're liable to find yourself humming odd snatches of the songs. Play the Campion and you're liable to have difficulty remembering any of the individual tunes. Nor do the lyrics redeem the music. He probably was a "better " lyric writer than Dowland (whatever that means) but music wise Dowland beats him hollow.

If you're studying music history this might be an interesting collection. But if you're just curious and want an introduction to the songs of the period, go for the Dowland first. You're liable to be left feeling like you could listen to more, and then the Campion becomes interesting as a variation. Buy the Campion first and you're liable to wonder why people get enthusiastic about English lute songs. And that would be a pity and a disservice to Linell and Rickards who do such a good job.

A curiosity for Lady Macbeth fanciers.......2007-02-18

This is a Rome Radio broadxast of the revised Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, which as of now has no studio recording in print. Western audiences haven't embraced Lady Macbeth exactly, although critics praise it and opera companies occasionally stage it. So there's not much call for a version that tones down the sex, satire, and depravity--those are the ingredients that sell the work. All the singers here, most of them Slavic except for Gloria Lane, who plays the lead role of Katerina, are convincing, as is the conducting. The sound is reasonably good FM-radio mono (unless my ears are fooling me--this could be narrow-focused stereo).

In the end, none of the leads quite measures up to those on the Rostropovich set of Lady Macbeth on EMI or Chung's on DG. But they come close, and if you have a passion for this opera, the milder, less biting Katerina Ismailova is worth a listen. It helps to know Russian since Opera d'Oro, as usual, gives no libretto and only the most cursory synopsis.

Mussorgsky on speed........2004-02-28

A wonderful performance. The "sanitized" Lady Macbeth of Mtinsk, supposedly a satire of bourgeois Czarist Russia banned after 2 years success, supposedly for squillant carnality and other failings vis-à-vis socialist realism. Stalin came late to it and apparently discerned what his lackeys couldn't: a manic festival of authority bashing; and he could easily have seen a not too subtle portrait of himself in the hypocritical father-in-law Boris--who is poisoned by Katerina.
The cast is generally excellent with the too rarely recorded Gloria Lane--still in robust voice--outstanding;Kari Nurmela alone, as Boris, is worth the price of the ticket. Only the Sergei (WIlliam Cochran) is a bit less than one might hope.

"....he made a couple of discs he always hates listening to".......2003-06-23

The time this disc was made, was not exactly Fito's best, actually he had suffered some hard times featuring the killing of his grandmom and some other though sittuations that headed him for leaving Argentina by then. This record sounds bitter and strange, filled up with weird stories like: Alacran, Solo los Chicos, tatuaje falso, or attitudes like the one shown in "Dame un Talisman". This record features a rare but excellent song: "Caceria". Perhaps, as himself says in "Crea Fama" (Tercer Mundo) "..he made a couple of discs he always hates listening to" refering this phrase to his hating for this disc and "Ciudad de Pobres Corazones", which are the darkest discs of Fito. Anyway, this is a must to any keen on Fito's music due to its importance. People starting to listen him should begin with other discs until find themselves comfortable enough with his music, other way it might get a wrong idea about his music.
