Ludwig's Law

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Mayo Thompson has led the Red Krayola through 32 years, countless different lineups, and stylistic shifts from freaked-out psychedelia to Marxist funk, but he's rarely chosen to step out from under the Krayola's umbrella. This collaboration, which was recorded in 1983 but remained on the shelf for 15 years, is one such occasion. The other participants were veterans of Germany's electronic-music scene; keyboard player Dieter Moebius has recorded with Cluster, Harmonia, and Brian Eno, while trumpeter and producer Conny Plank has worked with Devo, Kraftwerk, and Ultravox. The two Germans constructed Ludwig's Law's backing tracks using the emulator, an early sampler that enabled them to duplicate the other instruments without having to deal with the musicians who played them. The duo recorded a series of stately fanfares and brittle Talking Heads funk, over which Thompson narrated a series of skewed monologues about philosophy, art, history, and careless farmers. --Bill Meyer

    Any anthology that explores the dawn of phonograph recordings promises to be rough going: I can't discern anything meaningful from the primitive recordings by the legendary conductor Arthur Nikisch. However, everything is more clear and vivid after the implementation of the microphone in 1926, and this material occupies four of these five CDs. Still, some artists sound a bit inhibited, and it's frustrating that we're often given only one movement from concertos played by pianist Elly Ney and cellist Enrico Mainardi. However, seasoned collectors will find recordings by Victor de Sabata, Paul Van Kempen, and others that they never even knew existed, plus a great, little-known 1943 performance of Schumann's Symphonic Etudes by Geza Anda. The set is crowned by an emphatic, rugged, deeply felt complete 1941 performance of the Mozart Requiem conducted by Bruno Kittl. The clarity of the remasterings is often amazing. --David Patrick Stearns

    4 out of 5 stars Sorry...I heard only fifth disc in this set........2000-12-06

    I'm very sorry because I bought only fifth disc in this set. So, I don't review all of CDs. Bruno Kittel(1870-1948) was founder and conductor of his chorus-Bruno-Kittel-Chor. It was one of very highest vocal groups in German-speaking countries. They achieved many contributions. In 1928, Bruno-Kittel-Chor recorded first complete SP of Beethoven's Missa solemnis(with Lotte Leonard, Elenor Schlosshauer-Reynolds, Eugen Transky, Wilhelm Guttman and the Berliner Philharmoniker) in Deutsche Grammophon. Its SPs were imported to Japan, sold over 17000 sets. Its restored CD set were issued by Japan Polygram in 1998(I seeked this set so far but I have not this set because it was issued only Japan.). And they sung many times Beethoven's 9th Symphony with Oskar Fried(1929), Wilhelm Furtwangler(1937 and 1942) and many other conductors. In Third Reich, Kittel was premiered some of 'political' works include Christoph Muller's Deutsches Heldenrequiem-offered to Hitler-and participated concerts held by Nazi. For that reason, Kittel was buried in post-war German musical scene and chorus were disorganized. In World War II, they recorded for Deutsche Grammophon-Bach's Matthaus-Passion(1942. except 18 numbers) and Mozart's Requiem(1941)-twice. It's a last recordings they sung. In this fifth CD contains complete Requiem and final chorus in Matthaus-Passion(St.Matthew Passion). When I heard this recording first, very surprised. Part of Introitus' soprano solo part and Offertorium's last refrain, verses related 'Jewish' were erased and replaced other Latin words(Sion->coelis, Jerusalem->hic in terra, Abrahae->Domini). It's a Nazi's sensorship obviously. What a cruel purges! But they performed very humanistic-added Romantic a little-this last work by Mozart. In solo parts, soloists-Tilla Briem, Gertrud Freimuth, Walther Ludwig and Fred Drissen-sung very moved with rich German accents. And choral parts-especially Dies irae and Lacrimosa, they performed with fear and tears probably. And they sung in Kyrie and Communio's difficult fugue part very superbly. Certainly, they are very highest chorus in German. I think it's a best of pre-war and wartime Requiem recording with Bruno Walter's live recording in 1937. But, final chorus in Matthaus-Passion is 'too' romantic performance. Bach's taste disappeared 'perfectly' in this recording. For that reason, this recording is not re-issue by CD present day. And this CD contains other two small choral works sung by Thomanenchor Leipzig-Brahms' In stiller Nacht conducted by Karl Straube(1930) and Anonymous Christkindleins Wiegenlied. Restoration quality is not bad. But scratch noise remained in part(very high in Introitus' opening and some other parts). I think Deutsche Grammophon's staff were restored like a original SP added frequency.

    5 out of 5 stars "The Jolly Beggars" and much more from Robert Burns & Co........2001-06-15

    This CD is much more than a curio. ("Shostakovich"? Heck, why not; Burns's appeal is worldwide, isn't it?) It contains the cantata "The Jolly Beggars" (a/k/a 'Love and Liberty') and more. I'd say the CD is worth it for "Beggars," but the remaining music is first-rate, as you'd surmise from the composers here, and is utterly delightful. This one goes beyond borders and definitions, and I think ol' Rabbie (NOT "Bobby"! ouch!!) would be proud. Highly recommended to fans of Burns, Scottish and folk music, and classical music, and yes, plain old good music.

    Mayo Thompson has led the Red Krayola through 32 years, countless different lineups, and stylistic shifts from freaked-out psychedelia to Marxist funk, but he's rarely chosen to step out from under the Krayola's umbrella. This collaboration, which was recorded in 1983 but remained on the shelf for 15 years, is one such occasion. The other participants were veterans of Germany's electronic-music scene; keyboard player Dieter Moebius has recorded with Cluster, Harmonia, and Brian Eno, while trumpeter and producer Conny Plank has worked with Devo, Kraftwerk, and Ultravox. The two Germans constructed Ludwig's Law's backing tracks using the emulator, an early sampler that enabled them to duplicate the other instruments without having to deal with the musicians who played them. The duo recorded a series of stately fanfares and brittle Talking Heads funk, over which Thompson narrated a series of skewed monologues about philosophy, art, history, and careless farmers. --Bill Meyer

    This is probably not a "seminal" work like Moebius and Plank's other effort "Rastakraut Pasta", or Moebius, Plank and Neumeier's "Zero Set", but it should indeed be essential to anyone who has interest in the German electronic scene. If only for the fact that it had such a long shelf life and it features the great Conny Plank, who is no longer with us. I'm happy to hear it done in English and "Taras Bulba" is a mightly slab of industrial-quirky-electro-metal greatness. As only Moebius and Plank can serve up. I would probably give this a 3 1/2, but 3 don't cut it. Don't miss this one before it is gone.

    4 out of 5 stars early 80's insanity.......1999-12-03

    This album was originally recorded in 1983, although it is only now getting released. Mayo Thompson rants like a cracked phillosopher who has had too much to drink. Moebius and Plank make cool, home-grown techno sounds in the background. Thompson doesn't really ever sing, he just makes proclemations. And his proclemations don't always make sense. Oh well - they are still enjoyable. The music is also vey good, and some of it is really quite daring, considering that it was made in '83. The overall feel of this album dictates that it isn't to be taken seriously. All the people involved sound like they were having a good time. And the fun rubs off on the listener, too. Pretty soon you, too, will find yourself smiling and tapping along.
