I haven't listened to the CD, but the curiosity factor is at play, and the collection of these otherwise-unknown works revolving on a Baseball theme is well-executed. Good liner notes and song texts are included.

Off-base in very respect........2001-11-23

An historical survey of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century baseball songs, this CD might set the world's record for utterly unidiomatic performances, with not a single track sounding remotely like popular music has ever, or probably will ever, sound. Mezzo-soprano D'Anna Fortunato sings in a lagging, almost absent-minded fashion complete with odd, Martian-style diction--"who'll-rau" for "hurrah" for example. And the musicians, each one of them thorougly-trained and impressively-credentialed, display all the rhyhtmic dexterity and flow of a vintage music sequencer pushed past its limits. To augment the weirdness even more, multiple-part liner notes inform us that ethnic slurs directed at the Irish ("Slide, Kelly, slide") and Italians ("One-a-strike") are acceptable to be included, but not those aimed at African-Americans. To quote: "Minstrels, too, sang of baseball; however, the healing wounds of our damnable segregationist legacy are still too tender for us to include these pieces in our collection here." I'm glad that this was explained; otherwise, I might have blamed such a decision on political correctness.

Customer Reviews:

Baroque music is not be feared.......2000-08-13

Musics of the Baroque Era is perhaps the most general of classical music. You can always find a vast quantity of baroque music in any classical store. Of course, the largest works composed by Mr. J.S. Bach. Here is his sinfonia and Arrival from the Queen of Sheba. The Arrival is very popular. Its allegro measure of strings is very festive, eventhough it is supposed to be the re-telling of the Solomon and Sheba encounter in the Bible. The works of other Baroque masters can be found here such as Handel and Gluck. The Dance of the Blessed Spirits is a magnificent piece. These are all famous Baroque works. If you're a beginner of classical music, and wish to hear Baroque, this cd is a good start-up cd.
