Mackerras champions Janacek brilliantly!.......2003-04-07

What a combo Amazon offers Janacek fans. "Jenufa" and "The Cunning little Vixen" are absolute masterpieces and in the hands of the composer's greatest interprepter, Mackerras, these recordings are non-pareil. The singing of Soderstrom and Lucia Popp make any other recordings a redundancy and an act of futility. Ravishingly beautiful is the only way to describe their performances. These superb recrodings are in the case of "Vixen" , a momument to the healing power of the act of creation. and in the case of "Jenufa" a monument to the victory of human compassion and its power of heallng.. All singers bring glory to the music and the Vienna Philarmonic plays as one born to perform this music as no other orchestra. These cds belong in your collection: deeply moving experiences that only improve upon contnued listering. Bravo to Mackerras for his one man renaissance of Janacek's masterpieces. Let us not forget "Katya Kabanova" a third member of this holy trio. As in "Jeunfa" Sodertsrom triumphs in this work as well.

Cunning Little Recording.......2003-01-19

Excellent recording of an intruguing work. I bought this particular recording because of the strong lineup of musicians: Sir Charles Mackerras conducts- he seems to be one of the reigning Janacek experts these days, and Lucia Popp is a very highly charged Vixen. Of course, the orchestra (Vienna Philharmonic) deserves recognition, too- they did a fine job on this recording. I don't know many different interpretations of this opera, having mainly just listened to this CD set countless times, but it's definitely worth owning.

If you don't feel like spending the money for CD's of the entire opera, the condensed [orchestral] version is also well-written, but it does leave out some fine musical moments. The orchestral version has been recorded many times by different people, and it's relatively easy to find.

A wonderful animal opera.......2002-05-29

Czech composer Leos Janacek wrote a series of operas late in his life: Kat'ia Kabanova, Cunning Little Vixen, The Makropoulos Affair, and From the House of the Dead, in that order. All are magnificent, standing with the very best work of the Czech masters Smetana and Dvorak. Even among those late operas, though, Vixen stands out because of its vibrant orchestration and easy approachability. It is quite popular, and it has even been featured in an animated version for TV by Geoff Dunbar of Peter Rabbit fame.

The story revolves around the Vixen, who is a real fireball, always gracefully foxing her way in and out of tough situations with the force of her personality. This character is played by a soprano in a fox costume, in this case Lucia Popp. I'm not sure if she wore the costume in the studio, but she may well have, because she gives her part a wonderful vivaciousness and gusto - you can almost imagine glistening fangs as she heatedly preaches to the hens about oppression. Her spirited tone adds immeasurably to the recording as a whole.

The adult male leads, who play human parts (the Schoolmaster, the Forester, and the poacher Harasta), also do a very fine job. In particular, their Czech diction is exemplary, though with the sound of the Vixen resonating in the ears they sometimes sound Germanic by comparison.

And the children! The dance at the beginning of Act III, which depicts the Vixen with her cubs recognizing and defusing a trap, is one of the greatest examples of synthesized folk music I've ever encountered. The children's choir hired for this recording sing the melody, built on the Lydian mode and the whole-tone scale, flawlessly, vigorously and rhythmically.

Through all this, Mackerras shows the utmost sympathy to the bright colors and poignant orchestrational details. And the Vienna Philharmonic, often among the most conservative of ensembles, play brightly and faithfully, with solo passages that sound exotic and brilliantly evoke animal sounds.

This is simply a great recording. Not to be missed.

DEZ influenced PRINCE on the bounce rock!.......2004-11-23

PRINCE songs like "Sister","Sexuality","Delirious" and "Horny Toad" and anything else similar are sounds of DEZ. DEZ didn't write them but the music touched PRINCE,he never had that sound before the DIRTY MIND album. But he did use it when DEZ left to do The MODERNNAIRES for "Let's Go Crazy".

DEZ is no longer that wild man,Chinese-bandana wearing,axeman. He's still the axeman,but a born-again one. 13 songs,all of them with heartfelt lyrics to make you think like "Like A Merry Go Round" he talks about the ups and downs that life brings us. "Peacehopejoy" maybe the heaviest song on the CD while most of the disc is mellow but great guitar work.

At the end of the album,behind "Real To Me" he gives thanks to fans and JESUS CHRIST and asks you to come along. The CD does not bore,musically,lyrically and spiritually. DEZ would tell you,it's just "The Way I Feel". DEZ I feel ya!

One of Nara's most interesting albums.......2002-09-27

Beautiful. A 2-LP collection of the same-old bossa nova classics, EXCEPT that Nara Leao -- one of my favorite Brazilian singers -- manages somehow to place a very distinctive stamp on them all. Perhaps is has something to do with the sessions recorded in France -- a euro-chanson sensibility, perhaps? At any rate, the spare arrangements and distinctive acoustic guitar accompaniment by Tuca make this one of the best latter-day bossa nova records out there. If perhaps you've ever wearied of hearing the same damn Jobim songs over and over, give this album a try... it may make the classics seems fresh again!

THE NEXT LEVEL FOR A GREAT SINGER!!!!!!!!!.......2005-05-02

Desiree Coleman-Jackson (aka Dez) has come a far way from her original reocrding with Motown, release back in 1988. It seems that her voice has gotten stronger in the past decade. Perhaps that is due to the 'purpose' of this recording.Changing her style of singing soul to gospel is perhaps the best move of her career. Though, her career hasn't blown up as it should have with the incrediable God-given talent she has to work with. The change was not a surprise to me, back in the late 80's, it was signs that Desiree heart was else where, and with this recording, it is quite apparent where it was all this time..Sing for Me is an extremely well put together piece of work. You can feel her spirit as she sings her heart out on some of the tracks on this album. Giving all she got and then some more when you think she is done! Not only that, the mixture of rap, dance, and hip beats that help bring home some of our younger generation of listeners. Most gospel artist stick to basic "traditional" sound for their recordings, which is fine, but in the process they are losing the interest of our youth. Thats where recording like this one steps up! With the octive strength of Mariah Carey and the presence of Patti Labelle, there is no wonder how an artist such as Dez, would still be around. This recording is truly an enjoyment to play at any church function and any other activity you want to be lifted by the joy of Lord. Sing on Dez, Sing on! The name may have changed, but the voice didn't. This recording has truly been a blessing to me as I hope the same for others who have been wise enough to purchase this recording!

WON-DER-FUL.......2002-01-16

This is a very good CD, it has uplifting, spiritfilled songs for everyone! The powerful voice of Dez just rings out thoughout the CD, just getting stronger as the CD goes on. When you are feeling down play DEZ. I suggest that everyone gets this CD.

Praise!.......2001-08-26

How Beautiful! Dez's powerful voice will lift you up. The Lord has annointed her, and she uses her magnificent voice to praise his name. Very contemporary, and very uplifting. I play this CD LOUD whenever I get a chance.
