Unmistakeably Vaughan Williams.......2006-01-26

It has been said that everything Vaughan Williams wrote has a characteristic "sound," even if no two of his works sound alike. This disc exemplifies that idea: every piece here resonates with the sonorities that made Vaughan Williams famous, and yet they are very different works.

Even devoted fans of RVW's music may own only two of the works on this disc: "Toward the Unknown Region" and "Five Variants on 'Dives and Lazarus'." Both receive good recordings here, although better versions of both are available (on Hyperion and EMI, respectively).

But, of course, I suspect most RVW fans will be more interested in the rarer works on this disc. The shortest of these, "The Voice Out of the Whirlwind," is set to Biblical texts, and has a bit of a Holstian influence. That influence can also be seen, to an extent, on his cantata "The Sons of Light," to a libretto by his wife Ursula, which here gets its first recording on CD.

The final work--and the namesake of the disc--is "Willow-Wood," to words by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (to whom Vaughan Williams returned for his song cycle "The House of Life"), which, amazingly, receives its first performance in nearly a century (it was last performed in 1909). The resemblance to his early works is fairly obvious, as are comparisons to his "Magnificat" for alto, women's chorus, and orchestra.

While I wouldn't rush to call any of these definitive performances, it is hard to pass up a CD at a bargain price that fills in gaps as this one does.

From darkness to illumination.......2005-12-07

THIS NEW CD made by the Naxos label is a major release that sheds new light on the famous English composer. First, the material spans nearly the entire career of Ralph Vaughan Williams. From `Willow-Wood' (1903) to `The Sons of Light' (1951), we embark on a journey of unforgettable, fascinating music. As a result, this disc further upholds the record company's commitment to modern music. The CD is part of Gramophone's Editor Choice for December 2005.

I'll begin first with the cantata `The Sons of Light', mainly because it is (subjectively) what i prefer---despite the fact that all the album is uniformly excellent. For years, i was eagerly hoping for the release of that work on CD : Ultimately, this is not the premiere recording since `The Sons of Light' has been recorded previously by Willcocks on the little-known Lyrita label (SRCS 125 LP). Still, it appears for the first time on CD. Interestingly, the texts were written by Ursula Vaughan Williams (Ursula Wood) ; these poems talk about "celestial imagery (sun, moon, and the signs of the Zodiac)" and, more specifically, "the creation story which starts with the passage of the sun as expressed in Greek myths." Needless to say, the score accommodates the texts ideally. Unfortunately, i haven't heard the Lyrita but can attest as to the Naxos's wonderful merits.

As i listened, i began to write down my impressions. `The Sons of Light' has something special, this is not entirely "typical" VW. The work is vigorous ; there's a Holstian, mystic quality to it that i find compelling and intriguing. What a nice coupling this work could make, in concert or on disc, with Holst's `Planets'! In that musical territory we aren't that far from Whitman's borders. This disc contains great performances, it is not just "the usual good CD" one should expect to be released once in a while. In my opinion, it is worthy of being inscribed on the short list of "compact discs of the decade". The very opening of the work, starting with `Darkness and Light', soon hurries with in-your-face impacts of sound---its opening is as vast as the universe Whitman contemplates in `On The Beach At Night, Alone' from `A Sea Symphony'. I fully agree with Lewis Foreman (who wrote the notes to this CD) that VW's `The Sons of Light' is "the least heard of his major works." Overall, a great performance by the Royal Liverpool chorus makes for wondrous, aptly done fluctuations of pace and intonation---revealing that what we have before us is another work of genius. There's a strange (though appropriate) "remoteness" to the work, a feeling of "coldness" close in mood to the Sinfonia Antartica ; reviewer Mike Wheeler ([...]) remarks pertinently that "the film-score `Scott of the Antarctic' leaves its mark on the orchestral writing", the works belonging to the same creative period. Instrumentation is rather odd in the second part, `Song of the Zodiac', though it is truly effective and captivating---with perhaps bits and pieces of echoes from `Job', `Sancta Civitas' and `A Song of Thanksgiving' as far as music is concerned. But, in fact, this is quite unlike anything else i have heard from Vaughan Williams. The percussion department is especially persuasive. The third part, `Messengers of Speech', is sensational and, to quote Foreman once more, comes back "to the creation story as told in the heavens, now celebrating the letters of the alphabet---because, as the poet puts it, `nothing can exist until it is named'." The grandiose-sounding, triumphant conclusion brings a great, triumphant album to an end. And if `The Sons of Light' originates from the void, from those "unknown regions" depicted by VW in his renowned earlier work, then its music seems to emanate from a blackness out of which ultimately springs the light.

`Willow-Wood' is a cantata for baritone, women's chorus and orchestra (it was designed for baritone and piano early in 1903). The words are by Dante Gabriel Rossetti's `The House of Life' from which the composer made a well-known song cycle. The orchestrated version has been first performed in September 1909 but soon was forgotten and never heard again---until now. Actually, Naxos reminds me of BIS with their Sibelius rarities and, in the recent years, Hyperion, in their enterprising revival of unreleased material pertaining to Vaughan Williams. This new Naxos offering sprang to life from an audacious project. As a result, `Willow-Wood' feels like---and is, indeed---a pioneering interpretation : To quote Mike Wheeler, it reveals "a fascinating glimpse of Vaughan Williams in his pre-Raphaelite phase, recognizably by the composer of Songs of Travel, and with moments of whole-tone harmony linking it to his 1903 orchestral piece In the Fen Country." Right from the start, i sensed a melodic "attitude" in typical VW's fashion. All the same, the song cycle `The House of Life' is stamped by folk music and sounds familiar, whereas `Willow-Wood' has a sort of Ravelian or Debussian poetic quality, unusual chez VW. Indeed, it tends to remind me quite a bit some passages of Ravel's `Daphnis et Chloe'. The work sounds different from everything else i have heard by the composer. His orchestration is absolutely stunning, notably in its imaginative poise. And, surprise! ...There's a wordless chorus, as in the Antartica (or, delightfully, much like Ravel in `Daphnis et Chloe'). Roderick Williams, the baritone, is exquisite ; his voice is at once vibrant and mellow, and integrates quite well with the rest of the ensemble. As for the rest of the album, recorded sound is superb and reasonably clear with good dynamic flexibility.

This recording of `The Voice out of the Whirlwind' is a rarity. The motet was composed in the 1940's and is based on words from the book of Job. It is more energic than `Willow-Wood', more in the vein of `A Sea Symphony' or `Job'. It also has much of the vigor of the cantata `The Sons of Light'. This is an excellent work although admittedly obscure. The Royal Liverpool singers are first-rate. Likewise, the orchestra plays beautifully, with inspiration and dedication. The more familiar Variants of Dives and Lazarus is yet another stupendous composition : The best perhaps is still Willcocks (conducting the Jacques Orchestra, on EMI), but i'm sure Lloyd-Jones comes pretty close---no question about that, it is one of the finest accounts on disc. While `Toward the Unknown Region' (with words from Whitman) receives a thoroughly honest---if not excellent---treatment, it falls a little short by the side of Boult (EMI), Del Mar (also EMI) and Thomson (Chandos). Still, the new rendition has substantial merits, not the least in terms of sound and instrumental/vocal cohesion. *****

Wow....better than I first thought.........2007-04-12

I came across this CD (from a "Relaxation" series) by accident and thought, oh no, just another compilation of classical music tidbits---and taken from TV commercials/shows yet---oh, spare me! But how wrong I was. Despite its boast of being, "The Most Popular Classical TV Themes in the Universe" title (and because the price was reasonable for a 2-CD set), I bought the CD and was amazed by the quality of the recordings. I was disappointed when neither the manufacturer nor Amazon.com provided a listing of the artists on the recordings; as after hearing some of the tracks, I wanted to buy the artists' complete renditions. My favorite track on this CD, Debussy's "Clair de Lune," is performed so movingly, so stirringly, so hauntingly, that I wish I knew who recorded it. Not all tracks are arranged for orchestra. An example is Handel's "Largo from Xerxes," which is arranged for harp-and-flute, an arrangement which I found delightful and reminiscent of times in the 18th century when the elite held their salons and provided such music at these events. There is no singing on any tracks; it's pure instrumental. I didn't purchase my copy for "relaxation," as the series promotes, for the CD is just as enjoyable to play anytime, anywhere, and especially with a quality headset!

Customer Reviews:

Great music for the car or the house.......2007-07-12

I picked up this 4-disc set from CostCo years ago for about $[...]. I immediately realized this was a great buy. Together, the four discs provide a good sampling of classical music from the Baroque period to the mid Romance period; basically the 1700s and 1800's. The set leaves out the most famous pieces, such as Beethoven's 9th, Mozart's operas, and the ballets by Tchaikovsky. Instead, it has less-famous but still popular works such as pieces of Mozart's symphonies, Pictures at an Exhibition, and Dvorak's Slavonic Dances. The set has pieces from dozens of composers from all of Europe, East and West. The sound quality is great, and each CD has over an hour of music. Best of all, the musical pieces are complete, no shortened excerpts. All in all, a great set for the price.
