Colorful early music with pizazz.......2004-06-03

I'm always excited when Baltimore Consort release a new album, because I know it will be entertaining and will open up new vistas in musical appreciation. Adew Dundee is their second album of Scottish music (the first being their debut album "On The Banks of Helicon") and it's true to form.

The secular music presented here derives from manuscripts of early 17th century collectors like Skene (his Mandora MS) and Robert Gordon of Straloch, as well as 18th century collections such as Pills To Purge Melancholy (1719), Balcarres Lute Book (1692) and Panmure MS (1680). The title track "Adew Dundee" is a fine example of a typical delightful Scottish country air derived from these collections for the album. Then there are courtly songs and dances from the 16th and 17th centuries, many of which have a European influence, particularly from France. There is also a spritely "Scottish Branles" from French composer Estienne du Tertre.

Some of the music, like "The Gowans are gay", likely has its origins in even earlier times. A couple of songs, "A New Scotch Song of Catherine Logy" and "Adeu O desie delyt" will be familiar to Baltimore Consort fans as they are alternative versions of those from "On The Banks of Helicon".

This is music that was being played prior to a period when Scottish tunes became all the rage in England and were arranged there ad infinitum. Since the manuscripts themselves provide only rudimentary transcriptions of folk tunes, the Baltimore Consort has provided considerable improvisation, something they excel in. Excellent use is made particularly of the bagpipes (as on the lively "Whip my toudie"), combining nicely with viols, rebec, cittern, recorder, flute, lute, mandora and bodhran. As expected, this is a very professionally produced folk and court blend, and although singer Custer LaRue is perhaps not always at her best (hence the 4 stars not 5), overall it is delectable.

This disc offers 56 pieces from 17th-century compilations, probably best described as early equivalents of the fake books that popular musicians use today. These dance tunes and songs were the pop music of their time, now turned into "classical music" entirely by the aging process. McFarlane bounces through these catchy tunes with great verve; he's obviously having a good time with the music. The mandora is a small member of the lute family, pitched an octave higher than the two other early lutes McFarlane plays. It sounds rather like a ukulele. There is no profundity to be heard on this disc, but it's highly entertaining. As usual with Dorian, the sound quality is superb. --Leslie Gerber

I love this CD.......2007-06-12

I'm a Baroque musician and also a massage therapist. This is one of the CD's I use when I do massage; I've heard it now hundreds of times, and it still delights. Some very haunting, beautiful passages and excellent throughout. I agree with the other reviewer's assessment that I've never heard a bad performance on a Dorian recording.

Liltin' lute.......2000-05-19

Ronn McFarlane is the perfect man for the job. These pieces for the lute and mandora are what you'd expect from the time and place they were written. Surprising how many of the tunes sound like they were written yesterday. On some you may want to kick up yer heels a wee bit. Sonically, this CD is a gem; crystal clear sound. I've lent this to several persons and so far I've heard no complaints. McFarlane's Dowland CD is highly recommended also.

Some rare offerings here.......1999-09-26

As I keep saying, I have never heard a poor performance on a Dorian label, and their record remains intact with The Scottish Lute (DOR-90129) and Highland King: the Scottish Lute, Vol. II) (DOR-90257). Between the two, lutist Ronn McFarlane give us no less than 100 short excerpts from the different "Lute Books" that were so popular in the 15th to 17th centuries. There are even some examples of music for the mandora, half the size and an octave higher than a lute. This does not demand intense concentration and is excellent ambient music for relaxing or giving parties. I do wish, however, that more comprehensive notes were included and the multilingual text done away with to make room for them. But the playing is masterful and both CDs are highly recommended.

toy car.......2004-03-16

I like the part when Adam picks up the car with the two teens in it and starts to play with the car.

Deja Vu.......2004-02-24

This is a great movie for kids. I know because once my 3 year old saw it, we didn't stop watching it the whole week. I think to date we have watched it at least 10 times. So, if you want your small children to be entertained...rent or better yet, buy this one. As an adult you may get tired of watching it but you can catch up on that rather much needed rest while the movie is on. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

Great Viewing.......2003-01-27

This movie is just plain fun, silly, silly fun. The premise is absurd: a scientist accidentally zaps his toddler with a magnification ray and the kid "blows up" to 120 feet tall and menaces Las Vegas. No one gets hurt in this humorous spoof of 1950s horror films in general and a sweet sequel of the classic Honey I Shrunk the Kids in specific. Watch it with your children and tell me which scene you liked best, the giant toddler refusing to take a nap or the hulking toddler dressed up in oversized hunting gear to look like "my wife's strange" uncle from Ukraine? This is a warm film. Lots of laughs.

Tons of fun!.......2002-09-04

Another one of Wyane's wacky idea's brings him to enlarge his baby child to maybe 50 times! He causes all sorts of trouble for the parents, then the babysitter, and then the city. Ice cream trucks and teddy bears and fire trucks try to stop him, but it's not that easy when your life is at stake for a "squishdown". His mom then intentionally enlarges herself, too, when nothing works. Great movie to enjoy alone, with family, or maybe with friends!

mostly for the big collectors..........2006-12-13

This is an import EP released back in 1989. I had no idea it even existed until a few months ago when I found a used copy at the record store for $25. Because of the package design I wasn't even sure how many tracks were on it so I was unsure about buying it at first, but decided to anyway. Imports like these are often times distributed on different record labels and although this is a Sup Pop release, it's also on Tupelo Records, the same label that put out two great Jawbreaker albums ("Bivouac" and "24 Hour Revenge Therapy" - both highly recommended) and this distribution deal may have played a part in Nirvana and Jawbreaker touring together years later.
As far as the music goes it's a great early release, but nothing you probably havn't heard already. 'Blew', 'Love Buzz' and 'Stain' all appear to sound about the same as they do on the album "Bleach", however the version of 'Been A Son' is noticeably different than the version that appeared much later on "Incesticide". Another plus to this release is the photos that were used for artwork. The cover displays a picture of Kurt Cobain laying down on the ground with his guitar, an early photo I had never seen before. Inside there is an eerie picture of an empty hospital room.
It's probably not worth paying as much as it's going for on here. You would be better off picking up "Bleach" and "Incesticide" to obtain these songs. However, if you are a big collector I can't see how you could go without this.

A "folksy", crossover approach to 17th century English music.......2006-04-29

"The King's Delight": 17th Century Ballads for Voice and Violin Band by William Byrd, Michael Praetorius, John Whitfield, Johann Schultz, Samuel Scheidt, William Brade, Thomas Simpson and various anonymi, including traditional pieces arranged by David Douglass. Performed by The King's Noyse (Ellen Hargis, soprano; David Douglass and Robert Mealy, renaissance violins; Jane Starkman and Scott Metcalf, renaissance violas; Emily Walhout, bass violin) and Paul O'Dette, lute and cittern.
Recorded in November, 1992, at the Campion Center, Boston, Massachussetts. Harmonia Mundi HMU 907101. Total time: 72'43".

Although the music here is highly entertaining in itself, this CD should really only be heard after studying Jack Ashworth's informative booklet notes, and preferably also with some knowledge of 16th and 17th century English music. This period in English musical history is generally associated with the "viol consort" in which a group of differently-sized "viols" or "violas da gamba" played together with the musicians sitting around a set of notes, sometimes accompanied by a recorder or voice. This kind of music is quite ethereal but probably does not reflect the reality of life in early 17th century England (the epoque of Shakespeare, Webster and Jonson). In recent years it has been established that not only the nasal-sounding "viol", but also the violin was played "in consort", and various musicians have gone about re-creating this sound. Among the first were The Parley of Instruments in England and The King's Noyse in the USA, who here present their first-ever disk containing so-called "broadside ballads", interspersed with dance tunes, some of which have been delivered down to us in manuscript, others of which are of more traditional nature and have been arranged by David Douglass for this particular variety of consort. There are also three solos by that miracle of lute-playing, Paul O'Dette, using a different instrument each time. The effect of the whole is quite "folksy", approaching in some ways a "crossover" approach. The gentle strings of the instrumental pieces are captivating, while Ellen Hargis does a great job of making her ballads sound as they might have done in a 17th century tavern, including using a regional English accent. Her singing is, of course, not always "beautiful", with some quite harsh leaps and the recording venue producing some pretty sharp echoing at louder points - not something everyone will appreciate, but definitely contributing to the "authenticity" of the recording, insofar as there can be such a thing with music from such a distant period. I purchased this CD because it was awarded "Disk of the Month" status in a German-language Early Music magazine.

Gentle sounds such as these will always enjoy command over t.......2004-07-08

The selections on this disc are quite nice, on par with "The Queen's Delight" disc also from the same artists.

The tone of some selections is a bit more serious perhaps, but I wish to offer that Ellen Hargis' fine soprano voice lends great magic and power to the vocal selections. And though I am sensitive to harsh or annoying sound, that is not, I found, the case with her work here. The ear of the beholder is all-important, of course, and we all have our preferences.

The graceful and elegant work of The King's Noyse will warm your heart, gladden your spirits, and engender your gratitude and curiosity for that unique period of time which gave rise to these ballads. Gentle sounds such as these will always enjoy command over time.

I don't get it. . .the singing is excellent!.......2004-06-29

Other reviewers love the instrumental selections and berate the singing. Personally I find the purity of tone of the singer absolutely captivating. I do not hear any shrillness at all. The recorded sound seems ideal for this music, and all performers, singer and instrumentalists, are top notch, as is the selection of compositions on this CD. Highly recommended.

lovely instrumentals, shrill vocals.......2001-12-19

This is one CD that doesn't get much play at my home. The instrumental work is very nicely done and very enjoyable to listen to (I'd give that part 5 stars). If I knew how to rip the files into MP3 format and make a selected play list, I'd listen to some selections all the time. The big negative for this CD is the vocal work. The soprano does not have a very pretty voice in the first place, and she seems to delight in singing everything a bit too slowly- thus there is no flow of musical phrasing and zero momentum to the songs. I can't stand her emphasis on interval leaps here- it's hard to describe, but the result is rather like fingernails on a chalk board. The vocal leaps are certainly in tune, but her style is shrill and brash. She only allows her voice to flower when in really high register. On top of the emphasis on shrill interval jumps, they apparantly decided to record these in an echo chamber. The overall result is so shrill and brash and uncomfortable that I rarely take out this recording to enjoy the gorgeous violin band work.

There are few clips available that demonstrate this unpleasentness on the amazon site, but you could listen carefully to the "att noone dulcina rested" snippet for an example. For much nicer vocal presentations of some of the very same ballads, you may prefer Custer La Rue's incredible voice on "art of the bawdy song" recorded by Baltimore consort (which is flawed by the recordings included by the "merry companions"), or the very old "pills to purge melancholy" recording by the City waites.

Awesome Renaissance Music.......2000-09-29

Don't miss this CD is you love renaissance music played on period instruments. Lively and delightful to listen to. It will sweep your heart away!
