Well sung and varied repertoire from a legend........2005-09-21

I first heard London as Wotan in a recording of das Rheindgold under Solti. I remember the voice as if resembling molten lava containing vast amounts of energy yet never too quick to release it. The voice was magnificent! When I read that its owner was passed his prime at the time of recording the role, I got quite excited and looked forward to getting to know this voice at the highpoint of its years portraying ( as is it is nicely put) gods and demons.

I value this CD mostly as a historic document of an artist not too well known, because I am missing the emotional build up and thus my own emotional engagement in the music. This is ofcourse often the case with anthologies such as this.

This being said, as I tread my way through more and more complete productions of operas I can see myself coming back to this recording comparing styles, textual insights and ofcourse the vocal techniques used by the different singers in the arias.

It does not sound as if George Londong did anything half heartedly and I believe his renditions are most definately to be reckoned with.

Terrifying, Thrilling, Gorgeous!.......2003-08-29

George London is my idol as far as singing goes. I'm a bass-baritone, myself and I've always admired him. I particulary love the Mussorgsky and Wagner selections. The 'Clock Scene' was absolutely terrifying and the two Wagner songs were majestic and powerful.
London could take any song and do amazing things simply because of the sheer vocal quality of his voice. Not to mention his great acting ability.

Satanic!.......2003-07-14

This is an excellent collection of a some of London's best roles, plus the recordings are clear and lively. His voice is very focused and totally overwhelming. While his "Le veau d'or" can't compare to that of Christoff, London still makes for a great devil.. and his acting is superb. It's unfortunate that they didn't include London's Scarpia (see the 1960 recording of Tosca with Tebaldi and del Monaco) or one of his villains from the Tales of Hoffmann. This CD is a necessity for all fans of one of the century's finest bass-baritones and actors!

Customer Reviews:

A real piece of history from 1958 - mono but not dated.......1998-12-14

This box set earns its 5 stars on three counts. The first, the obvious one, that Boris Christoff (so closely identified with his namesake Godunov) is the perfect Mussorgsky bass. The second is that these songs are all excellent, not many 'complete' song collections can be so uniformly good. The third, and this is what makes it 5 stars not 4, is that EMI have really taken the libretto seriously - 144 pages with full cyrillic texts (not just roman alphabet transcriptions) plus translations in English, French and German. Timings: 57'14 66'51 67'57

Well advocated and passionate!.......2000-02-21

Despite Hyperion's proclamation that Alexander Glazunov's works for pianofonte is "the complete solo piano music" featured on its 4 CD series, the opposite is the actual truth. Yes, most of his piano music have been represented on this series, but Glazunov's other piano works such as the Etude in G Minor, Rondo in F, Fanfares for piano duet, Miniature Waltz in G Minor, Pastoral in D, Barcarolle in F, Madrical in A for piano duet, Galiard in D, and Mazurka in F Minor has yet to make it into the record world. Furthermore, Glazunov's Fantasy for Piano Duet (1920) is not featured in the Hyperion series, although it was recorded twice before, especially in a Marco Polo recording affectionately and warmly played by Tatjana Franova and Silvia Capova.

Nevertheless, Stpehen Coombs of Hyperion and Tatjana Franova of Marco Polo has done the composer great justice in bringing his pianofonte works from the coldness of obscurities. Before Franova, the first to engage in this project, only Elena Glazunovna, the composer's adopted daughter and an eminent pianist in her days, performed and recorded a good number of her father's piano scores, such as Idyll in F sharp, Theme and Variations on a Finnish Theme, the two piano sonatas, and the three etudes. Other than Elena Glazunovna, no major or minor Russian and Non-Russian pianists embarked upon performing Glazunov's piano works, with some exceptions to Leslie Howard, whose recording of Glazunov's piano sonatas was a towering achievement in its own right.

Such obscurities were utterly incomprehensible, for Glazunov's piano scores show a remarkably wide range of invention, handling of thematic materials, and distinctions (sometimes bordering towards originality). Take the Suite "Sascha" for instance. As a work of 1883, op. 2, the suite is remarkably confident in form and is self-assuring. The initial bars of the first movement suite has the devilish daringness of the young Glazunov (born in 1865) and the remaining movement never lost sight of its prowness and exuberance. The second movement leans towards Schumann but never lost its' appeal while the third movement (noctune), though somewhat Borodinian, has such the exotic coloring and tunefulness to be found in his later scores from the mid 1880s onwards. Franz Liszt was right to admire the young composer and this suite shows us why.

The rest of Volume 1 contains the highly effective and witty three miniatures, the glittering, appealing waltzes, and the passionate, Tchaikovskian First Piano Sonata. The waltzes are particularly demanding works but rather assessible while the Grand Valse de Concert has somewhat the Chopinesque qualities embetted. The First Sonata (1900) is even more demanding and virtuousic, somewhat rant in some of the passages (like the piano works of Tchaikovsky), but served as among Glazunov's most important achievements and pianists now and then had made the work an occassion of its own.

Stephen Coombs played with upmost advocacy, passion, and with imagination. He really had a great reading of the scores and never ran the risk of being too-exuberant. That will be evident in the next three volumes of Glazunov's piano works (although Coombs was somewhat too light-hearted in the composer Piano Concerti). The Hyperion recording sound is overly spacious and atmospheric, but well done and perfectly acceptable and Coombs program notes were well written and informative. Enterprising recordings such as this should raise Glazunov's status as among Russia's major composers immeasureably.

This First Volume (and the next three) is highly and affectionately recommended (Volume Two is available and contain Glazunov's most effective piano writings).
