Not a Bad Song on This Album.......2007-07-14

I bought this album back in, well, I don't remember when, but it was a very long time ago. Since it was vinyl, it has been sitting in a box in my closet for the better part of 30 years.

I have wanted to listen to it on numerous occasions since then. Unfortunately everything, including my music, is now on CD and "It'll Shine" was not available on CD. In order to listen to it, I would have had to pull out my old turntable, find a place to put the turntable in my current audio system, and hook it up. A real pain in the arse. So, the album stayed where it was, in the closet.

As soon as I saw "It'll Shine When It Shines" was available on CD, I bought it. Oh, the joy!! Nearly brought tears to my eyes. By the end of the first song, "You Made it Right", I was back in full Daredevil mode. "Jackie Blue", arguably their most recoginizable commercial hit, was as pure and purty as ever. Such memories!

If you like you country with a pinch of Bluegrass, a helpin of folk, and a big dollip of rock, you can't go wrong with this album. If I could give it 10 stars I would!

Great CD Reissue From An Underrated Band.......2007-07-03

IT'LL SHINE WHEN IT SHINES is a great CD reissue of a 1974 album by Missouri's Ozark Mountain Daredevils, a Southern rock band who weren't quite in the same league as the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, or the Outlaws, but who was? These guys were, nevertheless, still a great band with a unique sense of humor, and, as on the predecessor and the followup, most of the songs here feature lots of harmonica and guitar (ironically, only the big hit, "Jackie Blue", doesn't). It's great that this album has been reissued, as this band were among the worst-served by their record company. But I guess that when you support stern justice in a high profile kidnapping case (as these guys did regarding the Elizabeth Smart case), everybody's desperate to reissue your out-of-print albums on CD. If you get this CD, the self-titled debut, and THE CAR OVER THE LAKE ALBUM, you'll have everything you need by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.

The Ozark's, 'It'll Shine When It Shines'.......2006-03-04

This is the Ozark's brilliant 2nd album. The playing and muscianship is second to none with perfect timing. The harmonies of the group are up there with CSN&Y. For me there is only one song which I am a bit complacent about and that is Jackie Blue. It is the more populist of all the songs and at the time got a lot of air play on radio which probably explains my lack of enthusiasm for it. All the other tracks are unique and faultless. If you love this brand of country rock which is infused with bluegrass and roots derivitives, then you have to add this to your collection.

Great 70s Sound.......2005-09-30

After listening to this CD, I felt like I was a teenager again. The music is still good today. I loaned it to some younger friends who enjoyed it also.

Keep on Shining.......2003-12-24

The ozarks remain one of country rocks best kept secrets. Although the New Musical Express here in the UK described them as 'One of the finest bands of the '70's in any field' they are not well known - but they should be.

Hailing from Springfield, Missouri the band are amongst the most eclectic in rock, almost every band member wrote material, sang and played an array of instruments. Their harmonies certainly equalled the Eagles, and their sound incompassed 'down at home' bluegrass, FM rock, melodic folk country, but also more experimental arrangements such as 'Colorado Song' on their debut release.

'It'll shine' is the ozarks second offering and it's great to get it on CD. There was a trend for bands in the early 70's to get back to the country, well the ozarks never really left it recording the material at a pre Civil War farmhouse with Glynn Johns producing.

There is a real joy on this disc, of a band in tune with nature and each other playing to their strengths. Everyone will know Larry Lee's 'Jackie Blue' which was a big hit for the band and is good straight pop rock, but not entirely representative of the rest of the material, although 'Look Away' and 'tidal wave' show the band can rock.

For me it's the lighter and rootsy material that make it. 'You made it right' with its southern gospel feel, 'Lowlands' with its magnificant harmonies and the slightly zany 'EE Lawson' typical of steve Cash's work.

The disc closes with the title track leaving on a sentimental, and uplifting note. This disc is waiting to be discovered by any serious music fan - give it a try.

Product Description

This highly revered album is now available on CD for the first time ever! The package includes the original cover art, photos, and lyrics. All 10 of the original album songs are on the disc, plus 3 "bonus tracks". Many will find they have never heard these 3 songs before. All 13 tracks have been Digitally-Remastered from the Original Master Tapes.

The Ozark Mountain Daredevils united as a band in December of 1970. The group was signed to A&M Records in 1972 and, in 1973, they recorded their first self-titled album in London, England, resulting in the hit song "If You Wanna Get to Heaven". The second album, "It'll Shine When It Shines", included the song "Jackie Blue", a world-wide No. 1 hit. While at A&M Records, the band recorded eight albums resulting in two Gold Records in the US and Canada. The band subsequently signed with Columbia Records in 1981, where they recorded one album. At least three other projects followed in the '80s.

One great piece.......2006-04-05

I may be different from others in only having a few REAL favorites by OMD, but they've always given me a high regard for the group's great creativity. One is on this album and makes it worthwhile in itself: FLY AWAY HOME. Fabulous! Probably my favorite favorite.... And yeh that cover picture is a real gem!

FLY AWAY HOME AND GIVE THIS A SPIN.......2005-03-12

This was the first ozark lp I ever listened to having picked up a second hand import copy in the UK. At first I thought the two guys on the front cover were members of the band! Well the guys on the back looked like younger versions relaxed in jeans and t-shirts, but I knew they were popular with the critics so I gave it a try.

I loved it instantly: it was fresh and unprententious country rock and the band looked happy with life which is quite rare in the over serious world of rock. From then on I bought all their material and they become one of my favourite bands even though I am more of a classical fan thses days.

In retrospect this is not their best effort, but it is still superior to other relarses in the field. It contains a number of tracks written a few years previously such as 'fly away home', 'you know like I know' and the wonderful 'mountain range' which is sort of a re-run of Colorado Song with flutes and oboes replacing guitars.

What I particularly like here is the superb 'Red plum' with its scintillating mandolin and the evocative 'watermill' where Steve Cash gives a great vocal performance. Larry Lee's 'homemade wine' is great bluegrass/pop and shows the bands ever present sense of humour. 'Noah' although a great song is given much better treatment on the 'It's Alive' disc. 'Arroyo' - perhaps my least favourite ozarks number - is a disappointment.

The disc is a good one, but the band missed the talents of Randle Chowning who left during recording and as a reminder his gem 'better days' recorded during the 'it'll shine' sessions ends the disc on a high note.

The pictures of the band having dinner, fishing and generally looking amiable in the Missouri contryside - sadly - belong to a lost era of music.

Classic !!.......2003-01-10

Great to see this fantastic album on CD ! This album is an absolute classic and anyone interested in good pop/country rock should buy this album. The remastering is also very well done.
I do have one little point of criticism though; the track "You know like I know" has a running time of 3 minutes and 41 seconds while my vinyl version clocks at 4 minutes and 6 seconds. This CD version has the omission of 25 reallybeautiful seconds from the middle of the song.
But despite this............go out and buy it, folks !!

Martin from Amsterdam

a long-awaited treat.......2002-12-14

What is it that would make an album like this one of my never-will-get-tired-of-this favorites? I don't know, but I'm delighted to have it on CD at last. I'm also pleased with the bonus tracks.

On the whole, the sound is outstanding too. So far, I haven't noticed a *trace* of tape hiss--although I'm not sure if this is from very clean original tapes, or from modern signal processing (which is not necessarily without its downside). The CD has a much more bottom-heavy sound than the LP, and to my ears it seems like that's due to making instruments like the bass and drums more prominent, rather than EQ changes.

One thing they did flub, though--the fadeouts on some tracks should've been gentler. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that the end of "Homemade Wine" was botched, and I may eventually try to splice the end of the copy on my hits CD onto it to fix the abrupt end.

I remember, in the heyday of Napster, downloading some tracks from the Pickwick CD release of *Don't Look Down*, and finding some of the same abrupt endings, only worse. I was well acquainted with the LP, so it was hard not to notice. Note to New Era people: Are you listening? Please be careful about those fades!

=======

One further comment, in answer to the later reviewer: The Daredevils' CD hits collection (called The Best) has the same shortened version of You Know Like I Know. (I don't know why they would do that, unless the original master tape was seriously damaged or something.)

It's about time!.......2002-12-08

This is my very favorite album of all-time. Incredibly, it hasn't been available until the end of 2002! The music is wonderful and the sound quality is outstanding. Bonus tracks are well-selected too. Country rock at its best!

PERFECT!!!.......2007-07-18

I bought this CD set in order to play it at my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary...it was PERFECT!!! I downloaded it onto my ipod to play during the party and then gave the CD set to them as a gift. Now they can enjoy all the music from their era and their party!!

nostalgic memories.......2007-03-20

This is an excellent collection of music offering nostalgic memories of forgotten one hit wonders as well as many more enduring artists. The music is well chosen. It is fun to play this at parties attended by those of us in our sixties and see who can name the artists.

Golden Era of Rock.......2007-01-09

There was only one track of interest since all of the others were previously acquired. The track desired was needed to complete my collection.

One of the best colections you will ever find.......2005-10-20

This is for people who love the Rock and Roll of the 50's and Early 60's.
This is not some collection made in someones garage with sub-par recordings, infact it is just the opposite.
All songs are by the original performers and the sound quality is suberb. The songs appear to be remastered and sound like they were recorded yesterday.
You get all the Rock and Roll artists along with the Do-wap artists like the Platters, The Skyliners.
Personally I am not a huge fan of music from the 50's, but this is where I go when I want to hear something from that era.
All of the classics are on here, Bill Haley, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, Eddie Cochoran, Ray Charles and the list just goes on and on.............Enjoy

For those smart enough NOT to buy American Graffiti OST .......2005-06-22

This compilation has nearly all the tracks from American Graffiti's soundtrack, and so much more. This is exactly what I've been looking to fit my eclectic taste. All the hits are here, this side of Great Balls of Fire and Willie and the Hand Jive. Those two would have made this compilation perfect, but perfection is hard to come by when dealing with era compilations.

I wasn't around back when these songs were blasting on the radio, but I grew up listening to this music - thanks, mom! If you want to experience the sound of this era, this three-set cd collection is perfect. I've been looking for Maybellene, Be-Bop-A-Lula, Peggy Sue, Sea Cruise and Blue Suede Shoes and they're all here on the same set!

Try ebay before you buy here. I found this set relatively cheap over there. There were about five sellers when I bought mine, all vying for the lowest price.

This is great road music for those of you in my generation brave enough to try something new and break away from the Death Cab for Cutie/Outkast conformity we hear all the time on mainstream radio.

For those of you who grew up on this stuff, please let me reintroduce you to your old friends. This cd has almost all of them.

Great CD Reissue By An Underrated Band.......2007-06-29

THE CAR OVER THE LAKE ALBUM is a great CD reissue by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, an underrated country-rock band who never got the recognition they deserved, probably because they often lacked the edge of the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, and the Outlaws. However, that's not always true, because although the band were often mellow, their best known songs were actually harder-edged or very humorous. "Keep On Churning" opens this CD in a great rocking mode, and while the rest of the CD doesn't quite keep up the pace, the band prove themselves to be versatile musicians in a variety of styles, with a great sense of humor. This one, along with IT'LL SHINE WHEN IT SHINES and the self-titled debut, helps to form the essential Ozark Mountain Daredevils library.

The Car Over The Lake Album Cover Album.......2005-03-19

They did it again with their third release, and again with David Anderle at the producer's console. There are some problems - - the two tracks which originally were the album-side openers ("Keep On Churnin'" and "Thin Ice") are perfunctory exercises in both performance and intention. And it seems they front-loaded the album a bit, as tracks two through six play like a best-of sequence: five absolutely astonishing songs, parading gloriously one after another. Randall Chowning's "Leatherwood" is peerless, a beautiful countrified paeon to the easy life, with a gorgeous harmonized chorus and an instrumental break straight out of the woods. And when Chowning teams up with Steve Cash for the harp-and-yodelling, oboe-flavored fourstep "Gypsy Forest", hey - - go on and levitate. I do, every time I hear it. Cash's and Larry Lee's airy "If I Only Knew" should have been as big a hit as was "Jackie Blue". The CAR OVER THE LAKE ALBUM flags a bit as it goes on, though. The last half isn't quite as strong as the first but again, it's relative as all the songs are at least very, very good. The original LP closed with Chowning's stately, arresting elegy "Whippoorwill", a fitting closer if ever there were one. The three bonus tracks, originally a flexi released with the LP, aren't exactly essential and mitigate the closure. They hold up well enough on their own though, so it's nice to have them on CD. The admonishing text printed on the original flexi was somewhat apologetic regarding the quality of the songs and their putatively irreverent humor, but with people like Oscar Brand running around releasing humorously peurile albums since the late '40s, why bother apologizing? These guys were on a roll.

Relatively speaking, not their best.......2004-12-21

The ozarks had much to live up to following two superb debut releases and in some ways this is a marginally disappointing effort. It's still a rewarding disc, nicely produced and their most country tinged venture.

When it's good such as Randle Chowning's glorious 'leatherwood' and the poignant 'cobblestone mountain' it's really good. I also like 'southern cross' with brilliant Steve Cash lyrics and Larry lee's atmospheric 'from time to time'.

Sadly some of the material is a little uninspired ('Thin Ice' and ' 'Out on the Sea') and the vocal arrangements on Mr powell are a little messy. This is a shame if you consider some of the bands earlier unreleased material (as evidenced on 'log cabin sessions') which perhaps should have found the light of day.

Despite these reservations, this is still superior country rock: try listening to the guitar opening on 'whipporwill' or the folky oboe on Gypsy Forest and you are reminded just how great this band was.

If the bonus tracks from 'the little red record' (a copy of which I have) had replaced the weaker ones on the original release this would surely have been up there with 'it'll Shine when it shines'.

The Daredevil's rock.......2004-11-03

These guys's produce music you wanna listen to in times you're tired and wanna get in the laid back mood. Personally I like the "The Ozark Mountain Daredevils [A&M]" album content better, but I like the cover of this album better. Anyway, I'd buy this album after I'dve bought "The Ozark Mountain Daredevils [A&M]".

Jackie who?.......2004-02-12

If you are not swayed by what top 40 radio wants you to listen to, then you will not think Jackie Blue was the OMD's best song. Not remotely! As most OMD fans will attest to, it is the songs that did not get radio airplay that are their best songs. Car Over the Lake is one of my favorite albulms. These guys flawlessly combine bluegrass, country, rock, pop, etc...and their lyrics are thoughtful, not self indulgent, like much of today's (and yesterday's) music is. My favorite songs on this albulm are: 1. Out on the Sea (a romantic ballad that makes you feel as though you actually are drifting at sea on a star filled night with your loved one on your mind) 2. Gypsy Forest (this blue grassy tune sounds like a classic,,,one for the ages) 3. Whippoorwill (one of my all time favorite daredevil tunes...I love the dreamy music and mysterious nature of the song). Really, you'd be missing out if you just bought "greatest hit" releases from the OMD's. The richness of their talents is much deeper than that.

Product Description

Another long-awaited reissue of The Ozark Mountain Daredevils' classic albums from the '70s is now available on CD for the first time ever. It's Alive was originally released in 1978 on the A&M label. This project is part of a continuing series of re-releases of the groups work, and will at last meet the demand of the long-term fans who have asked for many years that this Live album be available on CD. It is bound to attract new fans as well, with the same appeal the band's music has always had - rootsy, self-styled Americana that has withstood the test of time.

Rocky Point rules!.......2006-11-11

we took this cd with us to rocky point on vacation and had everybody dancing and having a good time. The music is alive and well almost thirty years after its conception.

This is a classic.......2005-04-08

I originally bought this in 33 RPM format, which came in a two record set. I wore out those albums. This brings back some of the best songs that the Daredevils played for their enthusiastic fans at concerts around Missouri and Kansas. The recordings are clear, and you can tell the band played to the enthusiasm of their audiences. Additionally, several artists that joined them when they were around their home town of Springfield, Missouri played on this album.
One of the songs is a very neat setting of "Satisfied Mind" played in the men's bathroom at McDonald Arena at Southwest Missouri State University, so that they could gather the acoustic sound of that area.
I've been looking for this to come out on CD for years, it's one of my favorite Daredevils albums. If you are a Daredevil fan, I'd think you'd need this one, regardless of which Daredevil albums you have, to fill out a good collection of this type of music.

One of the very best live country-rock CD's.......2005-02-10

I am thrilled to finally own this on CD. It is a great compilation of classic Ozark Mountain Daredevils tunes, and it is a lot of fun to listen to as well. They had a great time making this CD, and it shows. For fans of '70's classic country rock, or Ozark Mountain Daredevils fans, it is a must-have. Enjoy.

Amazon.com

This collection bulges with the hottest and most dazzling jazz of the 1920s, with Armstrong dragging his lesser colleagues along with him in a whirlwind of inspiration. How a young man from the rugged and unbending background of downtown New Orleans could learn to play such sophisticated, sure-footed magic will never be known. He pops up to astonish on the 1926 tracks with classic ideas already spouting from his horn. Over the next three years, he would metamorphose into the sublime creator of the trumpet solo on the last track, "Tight Like This," one of the most dramatic and enchanting solos in the whole of jazz. Before that are fresh-as-a-daisy cornet acrobatics, as found on "Potato Head Blues" and "Struttin' with Some Barbecue." There's more exquisite playing on "Savoy Blues," where Lonnie Johnson adds some eloquent guitar. And then there's "West End Blues," the trumpet classic par excellence that brings in pianist Earl Hines, already a decade ahead of his time and one of the most potent influences on Armstrong. This is a thoroughly enjoyable history lesson. --Steve Voce

Timeless and Priceless.......2006-08-19

This collection of 25 performances by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Fives, Hot Sevens, and other bands is as timeless as it is priceless. These early (1926-1928) recordings reveal Armstrong's genius in creating dixieland jazz as an art form. The gem of the collection is his profoundly moving 1928 performance of "West End Blues," which alone is worth the cost of the CD. But the other performances are equally astonishing for their creativity and verve. Sound quality is exceptionally good. Here are 75 minutes of the greatest jazz music you'll ever hear.

First Louis Amstrong CD.......2006-03-04

If you are going to buy only one CD from Amstrong, this is the one I suggest.

The best Satchmo era.......2005-08-21

A complete selection of the best era of Louis (The hot five and the hot Seven ensembles). Memorable songs are included here: "Cornet chop suey", "Willy the weeper", "Potato head blues", and "Weary blues". The price is even better than the box set.

The one to get if you can't spring for one of the boxes!.......2001-03-29

If you're looking for the best single-disc collection of this incredible legacy, you've come to the right place. Everyone with even a slight interest in jazz (oh heck, make that EVERYONE, period!) needs to hear this music in some form!

But for many people, four discs may be overkill. This collection includes virtually all the mega-classics - Heebie Jeebies, Ski-Dat-Di-Dat, Mustrat Ramble, Struttin' With Some Barbecue, Potato Head Blues, Big Butter and Egg Man, Weather Bird, West End Blues, St. James Infrimary, the UTTERLY AMAZING Tight Like This, and more - and should make nearly anyone into a convert!

As for me, I already have the old 3-LP Columbia set (36 cuts), and there's very little from those that aren't on here that I miss (e.g., That's When I'll Come Back To You). And the convenience of having it on CD is well worth any duplications. The sound quality (given the original 20s recordings) and liner notes are excellent. This is an essential CD... unless you just decide to go whole hog and get one of the box sets!

"And I say IT IS tight like this!"

Jazz Immortality!.......2001-01-12

Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings have become immortal in the history of jazz. If you can't afford the complete boxed sets, this is the best collection to own. It will get you started and wet your appetite for more this man's groundbreaking genius. "West End Blues" alone is worth the price of this disc. No "best of" collection is really that without this renowned masterpiece. "Weather Bird" (also composed by his old boss King Oliver) can blow you away. And that's just to mention two of the cuts. This is the man who created much of the very vocabulary of jazz, and no one has ever said it better.

Customer Reviews:

Great musicians,...great tunes, .......2005-07-15

I am learning to play the clarinet, specifically jazz clarinet. It's been recommended that I listen to as many players as I can and to try to pick a style that I feel I want to mimic for a bit until I develop my own. This disc is great because it introduces me to 25 different players.

I love this disc. It hasn't left my disc player since I got it.

Remember, it's mono because they didn't have stereo recordings in 1918-1943...at least not that I know of.

Product Description

Here's another offering of The Ozark Mountain Daredevils' classic albums from the 1970's A&M Records Catalog. "Don t Look Down", originally released in 1977, is a part of the ongoing reissue series of the group's works by New Era, and finally after many years of demand it is available on CD for the first time as a U.S. release. By the time this album was recorded The Daredevils had undergone some personnel changes through a couple of the founding members moving on to pursue their solo careers. With their replacements, and the addition of extra players, the group had grown to 8 members, producing a varied sound and feel in the music. Thus following the path that always created interest in them. On this disc are three bonus tracks that have never before been released on any of the group s earlier albums. Fans of the group will delight in the fact that they have never heard these songs before. The music on this disc, like all of The Daredevils self-styled, rootsy material has withstood the test of time and offers the same listener appeal as it always did. With the reissue of this classic album on CD the fans, old and new, will have a chance to enjoy what has made The Ozark Mountain Daredevils one of America s most original and enduring bands.

Customer Reviews:

Electric country rock at its very best.......2007-02-02

The Daredevils' misfortune was that "Don't Look Down" came out a couple of years too late. Country rock was already going out of fashion, and many of their peers faced the same destiny: too rock for rednecks, too country for rockers...

Still, the music on this album is second to none. "Don't..." is not only the band's possibly finest work ever, but it also rivals the country/southern rock masterpieces like "Desperado" (Eagles), "Hurry Sundown" (Outlaws), Toby Beau's debut, Poco's best works - and so on.

Many original Daredevils fans may have found "Don't..." sounding a lot more modern than the earlier albums. It's also fair to say that this rocks more than any of their earlier or later works. Comparison to Poco's equally mighty "Under The Gun" isn't too far-fetched, although the albums are otherwise quite different in style. Despite the modern sound and less country-oriented overall style, there are all the Daredevils elements present people have always loved, plus some quite new ingredients.

The album starts with mighty country rocker "River to the sun", one of band's all time greats. What follows is a equally stunning: "Crazy loving", "Snowbound", "Love makes the lover", "True believer"... and, of course, the ending fiddle instrumental "Stinghead". There is no single weak or even average tune on this album. Every single song here could be put into any Daredevils' "Best of..." compilation. The variety of styles is also breathtaking, from mountain country to great electric rock to beautiful acoustic ballads to... well, anywhere. Several of the tracks might well have been major hits, in luckier conditions.

The lyrics, as always in this band's case, deserve a special note: some are truly hilarious ("Backroads"), some a bit mystical ("True believer"), some just great observations of a winter's day ("Snowbound"). They all tell a story worth listening to, which is quite a rare feat of any band.

As the production is also flawless with great sound, there's really nothing to complain about. It doesn't get much better than this. Listen to yourself. The songs just get better with time...

don't look down rocks!.......2006-10-21

Every song, every word and note, it all makes sense. Good for the soul.

Another Ozark Classic.......2005-08-24

With Don't Look Down The Ozarks released another classic album in 1977. This is once again country/pop rock at it's very best.
Any album with a song like "Giving it all to the wind" on it is a classic. Everytime friends of mine who don't know The Ozarks hear this beautiful Larry Lee song they are completely blown away by it. The rest of the songs are far above standard country rock quality. Why these guys weren't as popular like The Eagles is still one of the great mysteries of the 70's !! There are 3 bonus tracks on this cd version: "Sweetwood" is one of them and is one of the best ballads ever to have been released by The Ozarks. Talking about quality control.......this track was never released until now !!
So once again.........go out and buy this album !!!

PS; Some more good news; The CBS album from 1980 will als be released by the good people of New Era in november 2005 !

Greetings to all Ozark fans,

Martin from Holland

violaman.......2007-04-29

Ms. Callus' performances are superb. I have two other recordings of the Walton concerto, and hers is the best. Vaughan Williams piece is beautiful. Howells is especially poignant and sounds more Vaughan Williams than V-W himself. Bowen is stellar and it is truly a virtuoso performance. I purchased this recording after buying Ms. Callus' Portrait of the Viola. Both are in a class of their own. I can't wait for her to come out with another recording. Helen Callus, you are a viola goddess!

Finally, some variety!.......2007-01-30

Helen Callus does a magnificent job on this CD, which caught my eye when I noticed that it included the York Bowen Concerto, not commonly heard or studied. The Concerto is a fabulous example of how romantic composers SHOULD have used the viola, and Callus did a wonderful job resurrecting the piece. I have a feeling that this recording will spark more interest in performing the piece.

Callus' intonation is flawless and her phrasing is modern yet sophisticated. I thought the Vaughn Williams was particularly poignant and I only wished she had performed the whole suite for this CD. Judging from the Bowen, she would have a pretty impressive Perpetuoso Movement.

The Walton is a staple, its the viola's Beethoven Violin Concerto, its a monster, and she did a very nice job. Some of the parts can sound awkward when performed without delicacy, but I thought even William Primrose would be happy with this recording.

A great recording! Absolutely essential........2006-07-26

I first became acquainted with Helen Callus's gorgeous viola playing from her previous ASV release of the Clarke viola works. In that wonderful recording, she featured all British women and now she takes on the British men. By far the most recorded work on the album is the Walton Viola Concerto. Always a winner in my book, there are several other competing versions and Callus easily holds her own against them mainly because she has a quality that is rare today in classical recordings, her own unique sound and personality. Her luscious turn of phrase, dark rich sound and indulgent (in the best sense) musicality serve the score to produce a moving performance.

After the Walton, everything else on the disc is new to me and seems to be very rarely recorded. And that seems a great shame, because the rest of the music is fantastic and so wonderfully easy to listen to, I can't imagine why these works haven't found a place in the catalog. I would say that after this recording, they will certainly grow in popularity.

The Vaughan Williams Suite which opens the disc is delightful. Rich in the opening, intimate in the middle and fun at the end. For me, the big winner, however, is the Howells. The Howells is simply drop-dead stunning. Callus is so passionate as are all the strings of the New Zealand Symphony. This work alone will surely win accolades.
Finally the York Bowen Concerto rounds out the disc. More in the mold of a bravura 19th-century violin concerto, this is a work of scale that violists never seem to get. Callus brings a highly dramatic flair to this work. I especially enjoyed her virtuosic cadenza (the notes say she wrote it!) at the end of the 3rd movement.

Alone, any one of these works is worth purchasing, together they make an outstanding combination, a full 78 minutes worth of music that is an absolute must have.
