A couple of albums from Peter & Gordon's last stage.......2005-10-14

If you were wondering who were the first British Invasion group other than the Beatles to have a #1 in the United States the answer is Peter & Gordon, who scored with "A World Without Love." Of course that song was written by Lennon & McCartney because Paul McCartney was dating Jane Asher, the younger sister of Peter Asher who teamed with Gordon Waller to for this relatively successful pop duo. Peter & Gordon had three other Lennon & McCartney penned hits with "Nobody I Know," "I Don't Want to See You Again," and finally, "Woman," which is the title song for the first of the two albums included on this CD representing the latter part of their career. These are not consecutively produced Peter & Gordon albums, but I think the compatibility of the titles might have come into play here in deciding to pair these two up on one CD.

"Woman" was released in 1966 and the title track made it to #14. The song was written by "Bernard Webb," which was really Paul McCartney. Peter & Gordon were being dissed for having the Beatles write their hit songs, so McCartney created Webb as his Richard Backman and Peter & Gordon proved they could have some success without benefiting from the Lennon & McCartney names (a point that "Lady Godiva" would prove even better). The other minor hit from the album is "There's No Living Without Your Loving" (#50). But what stands out on this album are the collection of cover songs, which includes "The Green Leaves of Summer" from "The Alamo," "High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)" from "High Noon," and "Somewhere" from "West Side Story." Then toss in another movie theme, "3:10 From Yuma," another Frankie Laine song that was also covered by Sandy Denny. These are interesting enough, but the one original Asher & Waller song, "Wrong From the Start," is the other really good song on the album besides the title track. "The Green Leaves of Summer" is the best of the covers, as you would expect knowing the song and the duo.

The 1967 album "Lady Godiva" continues in the same musical vein, with a cover of "Exodus," which is followed by other familiar songs like "When I Fall in Love" and "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing." This time there is nothing written by the Beatles for the boys but an over-orchestrated cover of "If I Fell," but Peter & Gordon sing a couple of songs the Beatles covered on their early albums with "A Taste of Honey" and "Till There Was You." The problem is that all this is getting too be a bit much at this point and if you want to try something interesting, program your CD player to lose the covers and turn these two average Peter & Gordon albums (which made it to #60 and #80 respectively on the Billboard album charts), into one rather decent one. The two original compositions by the duo, "The Morning's Calling" and "Star Trying Someone Else," are lesser efforts, which is why the novelty hit "Lady Godiva" (#6) stands out. This CD also has a pair of bonus tracks, with "Jokers" (#97) and Knight in Rusty Armour" (#15) the title song from another 1967 album, coming from singles also written by Mike Leander and Charlie Mills, who penned "Lady Godiva." With those additions and the fact you get two albums on one CD I can round up on this one, but it is a close call and only real Peter & Gordon fans are going to want to bother with this instead of a solid collection of their hits.

4.5 stars - The last set of Peter And Gordon reissues.......2004-06-05

Woman (1966.) Peter And Gordon's fifth album.
Lady Godiva (1966.) Peter And Gordon's sixth album.

Although they have been all but forgotten in the modern day, Peter And Gordon were one of the greatest British pop acts of the sixties. Sadly though, they never made the same impact that many of their contemporaries in this era did. That's a real shame, because Peter Asher and Gordon Waller really were musical geniuses. Fortunately though, Peter had friends in high places - and one of those friends was Beatle Paul McCartney. McCartney provided the title tracks to the band's first two albums, A World Without Love and I Don't Want To See You Again. This greatly helped their popularity. In 1965, the duo released their third and fourth albums, I Go To Pieces and True Love Ways which also achieved moderate popularity. Their final two LPs, Woman and Lady Godiva, were released in 1966. Read on for my review.

The first LP that the band released in 1966 was Woman. The title track on this album is an excellent, melodic pop tune that is given new life in the hands of Peter And Gordon. The band did a LOT of covers, and it really shows on this album - The ONLY Peter And Gordon original featured on the LP is Wrong From The Start. This is a damn fine pop rocker that more than holds its own against the covers featured here. The cover of Let It Be Me is also very good. All in all, I wish this album had more Peter And Gordon originals, but I'm not complaining. It's a solid album through and through. Four out of five stars.

Next comes the band's second LP from 1966, Lady Godiva. Peter And Gordon really started to diversify their musical stylings on their I Go To Pieces LP from the previous year, and this is another attempt at the band broadening their horizons. The end result is remarkable. Like the previous LP, there are very few original compositions here - only The Morning's Calling and Start Trying Something Else were written by Peter And Gordon. Like on the previous LP, what little originals they offered are very good. The title track sounds like something that came from the swing era, and the boys manage to give it new life. And what would a sixties pop album be without a Beatles cover? If I Fell, a Beatles song originally featured on the A Hard Day's Night LP, is covered here. No, this doesn't top the original, but it's still very good. There are also two songs featured on this LP that aren't Beatles originals, but were made popular originally by the Beatles - A Taste Of Honey and Till There Was You. The Beatles version of A Taste Of Honey was downright pathetic (it pains me to speak harshly of my favorite band), but the Peter And Gordon version of it is MUCH better. The band doesn't really improve on Till There Was You, but it's right about on par with the Beatles version. Baby I'm Yours is another sixties pop tune cover, and this version of the song outdoes the original. There aren't many bands that could frequently succeed at improving other people's songs, but Peter And Gordon were one of thse groups. In the end, the duo's last LP is one of their finest. A perfect five out of five for this one.

In addition to remastering the Peter And Gordon catalogue and combining multiple albums onto a single disc, the record company has done us one better and included single-only bonus tracks entitled Jokers and Knight In Rusty Armor. The two albums featured on this CD are great, and the bonus tracks are the icing on the cake.

There is no such thing as a bad Peter And Gordon album, and the two LPs that have been combined onto this single compact disc have proven to be no exception to that rule. It's a shame Peter And Gordon don't get the proper recognition, because they were one of the finest pop acts to emerge from the sixties. If you're a fan of British pop music from the sixties, these Peter And Gordon reissues are highly recommended.

Last two albums from British invasion duo.......2002-08-18

Peter and Gordon recorded six albums together in the mid-sixties. Collectables have released them all on three CD's, including as bonus tracks some singles that didn't appear on any of those original albums. This is the final pairing, containing the fifth and sixth of the six albums, with two bonus tracks (Jokers and Knight in rusty armour). The songs are mainly soft, mid-tempo ballads. The major hits here are the two title tracks, but if you're thinking of buying this, it's the other tracks that you will be interested in.

Apart from the two major hits, this CD includes three minor hits (There's no living without your loving - a big British hit for Manfred Mann - and the two bonus tracks) and plenty of covers. They only wrote three original songs here (Wrong from the start, The morning's calling and Start trying someone else) which are enjoyable without being exceptional. Perhaps they didn't have time, or perhaps they didn't think their own songs were good enough to include more.

The covers are from a variety of sources including R+B (Baby I'm yours), mucicals (Somewhere - from West side story), the Beatles (If I fell), folk (Green leaves of summer) and cowboy (High noon). Yet, they are all made to fit Peter and Gordon's easy going style, which contrasts nicely with a lot of the other (more generally upbeat) pop music of the time.

All admirers of lush, late-romantic tone poems should find plenty to enjoy in this release. Vítezslav Novák (1870-1949) is underrepresented in the catalogs, and this disc marks an important step in his evaluation. The sound-world is lush and saturated, an atmosphere captured well by Chandos's spacious recording. Straussian opulence with a soft Slav accent would be an apt description of these pieces. Throughout, Pesek exhibits an indigenous understanding of the Bohemian musical language, and the BBC Philharmonic responds passionately. The tenderness of Lady Godiva (written in 1907 and apparently composed in two days) is touchingly portrayed, while the imaginative orchestration of Toman and the Wood Nymph (1906-07), more daring than that of Godiva, is relished to the full. The later De Profundis (1941) proceeds in grand gestures on a journey from its initial subterranean rumblings to its organ-drenched, upliftingly triumphant conclusion. Warmly recommended. --Colin Clarke

Novak Redivivus.......2000-11-17

Born before Josef Suk, with whom he is often coupled in the music-histories, Vítêzslav Novák (1870-1949) also outlived him. Like Suk, Novák obtained his compositional training from Antonin Dvorák; like Suk, he practiced the large orchestral forms of symphony and extended symphonic poem. His "Pan" (1910), in five movements, lasts some seventy-five minutes in performance; with "The Storm" (1910), it constitutes, in the opinion of the critics, his masterpiece. But a consistency marks the career of Novák, so that even the "lesser works" presented on the new Chandos CD merit our attention. Novák wrote the most substantial of them, "De Profundis," in 1940, during the Nazi occupation of his Czech homeland. For organ and orchestra, it arises indeed "out of the depths" and records both the despair and hope of the blighted Czech Republic during its dark hours as an involuntary component of "Greater Germany." (Unfortunately, many more dark hours lay ahead, even after the short-lived liberation of 1945.) In form, the tone-poem corresponds to a vast prelude and double fugue, concluding in a grim and defiant chorale. Because the Bohemian religious reformers, beginning with Jan Hus, have always occupied the forefront of the political independence movement in the Czechoslovak lands - opposing Hapsburg domination and siding with the peasantry against the Catholic nobility - Novák's Bachian plan, with its Protestant associations, accords well with the call to resistance implicit in "De Profundis." Libor PeÂšek and the BBC Philharmonic tender an appropriately Stygian account of the opening section (Largo Lugubre), with string basses and contrabassoon growling from below. Years ago, a Supraphon LP devoted one whole side to this work under Jaroslav [?] Vogel (leading an orchestra whose identity I forget): But little of the music managed to show through the murky early-stereo recording and the inadequate export pressing, full of pops and ticks and other distortions. PeÂšek, aided by the Chandos recordists, makes the music at once dark and yet transparent, so that we can hear the considerable inner complexity of the construction. The fugal episode (Appassionato Doloroso) picks up the pace and generates the apposite sense of crisis. The entry of the organ signals the renewal of hope. PeÂšek has wrought marvels with Novák's unusual scoring (organ, celesta, brass, and woodwind) and succeeds in showing how modern this composition by a seventy-year-old neo-Romantic really is. The coda fully qualifies for its description as "Grandiose." The two remaining works come from earlier in Novák's career. He wrote "Lady Godiva" (1907) for a festival-drama produced to inaugurate the Vinohrády Theater in Prague. Exciting fanfares give way to music of heroism and passion. A solo violin suggests the feminine character of the eponymous Lady. "Tomán and the Wood Nymph" (1906), based on an old Bohemian legend, wanders a bit, but brings off its climaxes with considerable panache. On the strength of this program, one hopes that the PeÂšek-Chandos team will tackle "In the Tatras," "Eternal Longing," "The Storm," and other rarely heard or recorded Novák scores.

More More More Mr. Pesek Mr. Couzens!.......2000-11-16

With Dvorák my love affair with Czech/Bohemian (and Middle European) music has started but with Novák (and Janacek, Suk, and Ostrcil etc.) it has gained depth. I really don't know why so many great composers did emerge from this little country but Novák is definitely one of them.

In De Profundis this music explores the depth of war-experiences with very dark and somber tones which made the greatest impression on me. I own a recording of this poem with Jaroslav Vogel (Supraphon) from the sixties but that recording per se is very recessed; the performance is even more intense than in Pesek's reading.

The other two symphonic poems are available in other readings too, but Pesek wins on sound, intensity of ensemble playing, and he never lets down on the poetry of this music which has a typical Czech flavor.

Some years ago Pesek did more works by these composers (Suk, Novak) for Virgin and I'm very happy to see that he continues on Chandos. Readers and critics hope he'll record the great tone poem The Sea (Boure), also by Novák, but that has already been done very well on Supraphon too.

No, let him do works which have not had a decent recording yet and are equally compelling and deserve a modern performance: orchestral music by Ostrcil and Kovarovich, Foerster and last but not least the Mai-Symphony by Novák.

Czech PLease!.......2000-10-04

Though my friends, (after a series of short-lived, unfulfilling late-Romantic relationships involving Tcherepnin, Schmidt and Korngold among others), tell me over and over again that there's more to a composer than just his big orchestra, I continue to ignore them--this time grabbing Chandos' new release of music by Vitezslav Novak.

Novak can be described, for the most part, as a heady, late-Romantic Dvorak. (Perhaps you have already heard Novak's music on a Virgin CD which contains the "Slovak Suite," "In the Tatra Mountains," and "Eternal Longing"-it's a wonderful recording.) He is a capable and imaginative melodist and orchestrator who, in the tradition of Wagner, Debussy, Strauss, and Janacek, avoids formal repetition and prefers to spin a musical narrative that constantly evolves and transforms itself. In other words, his music is through-composed rather than strophic.

Novak's spikes his simple and direct folk-like melodies with the most delightfully quirky harmonies and evocative orchestrations. Gestures of empty bombast and glutinous sentimentality, the twin progeny of late-Romantic immoderation, are fortunately kept to a minimum. The "Lady Godiva Overture" opens the CD, and it is a lovely piece. The Lady's theme, first introduced on clarinet, is at once playful, fresh and innocent; and yet, (as only the East Europeans seem to be able to do it), sensual, sad and alluring at the same time. If you like the freshness and naivete of Janacek's "Vixen," Novak's Overture is just a little more to the right-it's haunting and beautiful music.

The next piece, "Toman and the Wood Nymph" (1907) is IMHO the near hit. It's interesting and imaginative but sprawling and stylistically uneven-- oscillating between the meat-and-potatoes sound of Dvorak and a darting, modernish impressionism that reminds me of the rhythms, colors and harmonies of Stravinsky's "Scherzo Fantastique"--ironically composed one year *later*

than Toman. Novak, in the heat of inspiration simply outdoes himself with the nymph music, and unfortunately other parts of the tone-poem seem earth-bound in comparison.

"Die Profundis" reminds me of a famous meeting that never took place between Novak and Shostakovich, where Shostakovich made that famous comment to Novak: "...the symphony must embrace the entire percussion section...."

Composed in 1941, Profundis was written during the Nazi occupation of the Czech nation and riskily premiered in Brno, whose population was half German and half Czech. The liner notes state that Novak "never disguised his hatred of the occupying German forces...." and as you can imagine Profundis, ("Out of the depths I have cried," Psalm 30), is hardly subtle. A sinister march grows out the depths and slowly, (magisterially), evolves into a double fugue, which builds in intensity and agitation over the span of 16 minutes. One can hear faint echoes of Shostakovich and Mahler throughout, but Novak never looses his own voice. (Delightfully snarling brass playing from the BBC.)

The radiance of the apotheosis that concludes the piece, however, is hardly suggestive of redemption gained through peace and brotherhood--no gleaming, upheld chalices here!-- it is more the distorted kind of light that one would see reflected off a vengefully wrought and blood-spattered sword. And what a big sword Novak symbolically waves at the German forces--with full orchestra, brass fanfares, organ, piano, bells, harps, and a triple forte bass drum roll every 4th beat, it's enough to make noise-sensitive neighbors definitely reach for theirs.

Enjoy.

Profound works-extremely well played by Pesek & the BBC........2000-09-05

Vitezslav Novak (1870-1949) belong to the post-Dvorak generation of composers (Suk, Ostrcil, Fibich, & Foerster) who emerged by the turning of the 20th century. Generally, Suk & Novak are considered the most important & influencial composers of that generation. But others, especially Ostrcil, have been given due credit, and rightfully so.

How to describe Novak's works, especially on first encounterings? Personal & deep, thematically fresh, somewhat progressive, & evocative orchestration. Novak was particularly attracted to the world of nature & to the female psyche (like Respighi & Strauss respectively). The Overture to Jaroslav Vrchlicky's play "Lady Godiva" comes to mind. I'm tempting to call it a symphonic fantasy, for it has the independence about it & paints a all-round picture of Lady Godiva (as sensitive, and strong sense of inner strength-represented by strings & harp) and of her husband, Leofric (as oppressive & selfish-depicted by the brass). It's an appealing, yet an expansive work, with a staunch opening not too remotely reminiscence of Smetana while echoes of Strauss can be detected, especially in the slow passages. The symphonic poem "Toman & the Wood Nymph" (1906-7) is likewise Straussian with touches of Respighi, Debussy, & Ravel (with the impressionistic-type beginning & the colourful & descriptive phrasings especially of the woodwinds & lower strings).

A powerful masterpiece, "De profundis" (1941), was composed in response to the Nazi occupation of Czechslovakia. Interestingly, it has a couple of similarities with Kodaly's "Psalmus Hungaricus" in that, apart from the large orchestra (with organ) required: 1) It has a very grim, serious, & tragic beginning, turning to hope & optimism, and 2) "De profundis" has biblical connotations embetted (the title "De profundis" was taken from the opening line Psalm 130 "Out of the depths have I cried"). Kodaly's masterpiece has a greater sense of anger & defiance at the first two movements while Novak's "De profundis" is mournful & tragic @ its' first movement (indeed, he shared the type of tragic expressions of Smetana). The second movement is likewise profound and provide a wonderful transition from anguish to light (the lightness exuberantly expressed in the Finale). Personally, I felt that Novak could have added a chorus in this deep, profound work. It would have earned a more deeper & longlasting impression.

Libor Pesek & the BBC Philharmonic gave vivid, authoritative, and passionate performances throughout & I especially admire the organ playing in "De profundis." It's a pity that the organist was never mentioned anywhere in this recording. Nevertheless, this enterprising disc is a type that should cast shame upon those refusing to explore beyond the "over-exposed" horizon. Dare I hope for Libor Pesek to embark on Novak's most important work, the cantata "The Storm?"

This is a good addition to any classic metal collection. The singer reminds me a lot of Marc Storace from Krokus fame only not as nasally. The music is solid and the speed of each song varies nicely. Good heavy riffs and solid leads make for a CD I'll play frequently. Looking forward to more from these guys.

hello my fellow metallians. this has been such a great year for power and traditional metal. silent force are back at it and twisted tower dire are hard at work releasing their new album, powerquest and celesty have released their amazing new albums, but this is an un expected surprise. i loved godivas first self titled debut album, it was a traditional no holds barred metal scorcher, the songs were catchy and aggressive and the singer may have brought up the cheese factor a bit but he was very dedicated and his performance was just what that album needed. we will miss him but trust me once you hear their new lead lung burner you will forget all about their first singer. fellow metallians, for your sake and for the sake of metal in general, i hope you remember an amazing band from the late 80,s by the name victory. they released what is to me one of the greatest albums of all time. victory,s culture killed the native was a trophy of an album. every song was a hit and every song could have been a single. not one track on that album was under a 9 star rating.the catchy as hell vocal mellodies and sing along choruses along with an amazing guitarist and songs that had beautiful sound structures in the background topped off by overlayed vocals and then out of no where the power would kick in and make your teeth rattle, then settling back down to entrance your senses and bring you back to reality. yes that album was amazing. but it was a long time before they were reunited. all of a sudden i purchase godivas new album call me under 666 and to my surprise the new singer is none other than fernando the front man of victory(el toro loco his nick name). what he brings to godiva is twice the talent they used to have. his vocals and his overall sense of mellody and perfect timing of his mellodies and lyrics have made godiva into a force to be reckoned with. this is one of those cd;s that the more you play it the more attached you get to it and the more it grows on you. this album is chock full of traditional metal mastery. the songs here are deadly with their catchy hooks, and are instantly burned into your metal membranes. fernando has a gift that goes beyond his great vocals. he knows just how to sing aggressivly yet at the same time without trying to go overboard he overlays it all with great mellody to keep you hooked and interested throughout the entir song. he has touch, he has technique. his abillity to get your blood pumping with aggressive singing and at the same time deliver beautiful choruses is what it takes to make a great singer. dc cooper has this talent, so does halford and john west, now im not comparing but im just giving you an idea of how far his talents go. now enough about the new amazing singer for godiva and on to what really makes this band tick. the guitarist is top knotch. listen to the lead riffs on track 8. he writes some amazing riffs that are inventive, unique, and fresh. i love godivas style of guitar. the riffs are so awesome,and sure to get your blood pumping. the drums and bass go hand in hand and really do a great job of keeping up with the leads. so all you true metal heads out there, you have got to give this cd a try, you wont regret it,and also check out victory culture killed the native. godiva are to me right where they need to be and with the new singer they have found the missing piece to their puzzle and are as of now a band that are here doing what they do as best they can for all of us true metal heads enjoyment. i cant wait for the next album, and god forbid that they dont keep fernando, they would have to be very stupid to continue on without their new singer. any way my fellow metallians, this is all i can say about godiva. your friend in metal, BRANDON WHITSON 25 of bakersville north carolina

Excellent classic style metal!.......2007-02-04

From the first riff theirs no doubting what these guys are about. If you like your metal old school?, you'll love this cd. It's got it all really when it comes to just straight ahead metal. The only thing that took me a while to warm up to was the vocals. They seem a bit over done at times which sort of takes a little umph out of the overall vibe. I'm not sure if it's bassist doing the back up vocals or the main singer, but one of them needs to chill just a tad.

All in all though, this is a very good listen.

Pick it up!!

If you like Judas Priest, say around the time of "Stained Glass or parts of "Painkiller" then you'd like these guys. Also Iced Earth fans and early Blind Guardian fans to.
The one part I didnt much care for was the singer, who's voice at times didnt to me seem to fit the song where other songs his voice was dead on! Maybe I'm just to fussy? LOL
I've listend to this several times and will continue to do so!

Crunch!.......2003-10-15

Good crunchy music akin to Iced Earth. Vocals aren't too bad either. Generally you can't go wrong with SPV/Steamhammer when it comes to metal.
