5 out of 5 stars A great historical treasure.......2003-01-11

Jean Redpath sings the songs of Robert Burns beautifully. A particularly nice feature is the lyrics are included in the CD and many of the unfamilar old scots words are translated. Along with the other Robert Burns songs, these make wonderful listening .

5 out of 5 stars 25 more of the "inimitable songs" of Burns!.......2000-01-29

Volumes 3 & 4 of the Redpath-Burns series is another superb disc. Some of the songs are familiar, some less so; they're all top-notch Burns, though. Enjoy, song lovers!

Amy Beach is historically important as the first prominent American woman composer. She also wrote music of some substance and charm. But like most of her contemporaries, she wrote mostly rather lightweight salon music for solo piano, and its interest has faded considerably. Of pianist Joanne Polk's two Beach CDs, this one is the more recommendable because it includes a substantial piece, the Variations on Balkan Themes, which shows what Beach could do when she set her mind to it. Some of the little pieces here are unbearably trivial. Polk plays very well, and benefits from excellent recorded sound. -- Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars BEACH AT HER BEST (REDUX).......2003-02-12

I can scarcely believe it's been nearly two and a half years since I wrote my first review [October 24, 2000!!] of Joanne Polk's enlightening second volume traversal ["Under the Stars"] of the complete Amy Beach piano oeuvre. But it has been, and time, that great elucidator and thief, has once again returned me to face the music.

And what music it is, most noticeably for the premiere volume's prescient inclusion of Mrs. Beach's haunting and evocative, nearly thirty-minute-long Variations on Balkan Themes, Op. 60, written in 1904. With a life that bridged two very different centuries, and a fresh musical mind, forever searching, growing and transforming, Beach [1867-1944] could do no less with her innate gifts than to compose with genuine originality, as is evidenced by the emotional depth and lyrical reach of the Variations.

Although pieces such as the Trois morceaux caracteristiques, Op. 28 [1897] and the Scottish Legend and Gavotte fantastique, Op. 54, No.'s 1 and 2 [1903] may smack of the New England "school," the earlier not coincidentally dedicated to MacDowell, they are nonetheless inventive and charming. However, the Op. 114 (By the Still Waters) [1925] and miniatures of Op. 128 [1928], especially No. 2 (Young Birches), show the composer venturing into melodically undefined, but thoroughly gorgeous Lisztian territory.

Out of the Depths, Op. 130, also written in 1928, but not published until 1930, is a wonderful piano "distillation" of Psalm 130, without pretense, and again, not unlike Liszt in its austere sincerity and modernity.

Far Awa' brings us full circle in the most magical of ways. Originally No. 4 from Beach's Op. 43 song cycle of 1899, the composer herself transcribed the work for piano (and organ) in 1935 while at the MacDowell Colony, with ongoing revisions. It's a beautiful, heartfelt piece.

Polk produces exquisite sound, captured warmly by the engineers, undeniably proving the appeal and value of this music. Not only is she a fine pianist, she is at one with the composer. I applaud her talent, and I applaud her efforts to bring Mrs. Beach's endearing creations to life. There is much to immerse oneself in here.

4 out of 5 stars Lovely.......2002-12-08

This CD is a collection of lovely pieces. My favorites are "Menuet Italien," "Scottish Legend," and "Gavotte Fantastique," all of which I've played before, so I think that increases my listening pleasure for them. A Peterboro Chipmunk is neat, too--you can imagine the little creature scampering along and stopping every so often.

5 out of 5 stars Amy Beach, An Important Woman Composer?.......2001-11-01

Amy Marcy Beach was born in the United States just after the end of the Civil War and died very late in 1944 just months away from the end of World War II. As a musician, she was largely self-taught and not by her own choice. She would have liked to get some training, but the strictures of the male-dominated society in which she grew up limited her education and, to some degree, her options for a professional career as a musician. Despite all these obstacles, she was able to pursue a very active life as both pianist and composer, and it is her importance as a composer that is highlighted in this CD and the two others in this set.
Although Mrs. Beach was not a distinctly American composer in the same way that Gershwin, Ives, and Copland were, she had a penchant for nature, and used it extensively for inspiration in her work. While most of her work is derivative, being solidly based on European conventions and styles, her nature pieces mark her as a very distinctive and modern composer. I highly recommend from this album "A Peterboro Chipmunk," "Young Birches," "A Humming Bird," and "By the Still Waters," this last being very modern indeed. And although the other pieces on this CD are European in style, they will not disappoint you.

      Do NOT buy this CD unless you plan on letting your other "worthy" CDs by Schubert, Mahler and the like gather dust for a bit. This series is addictive, and like potato chips- you can't have just one! There are 9 in the series, so it can get pricey. Burns went thru the Lowlands and the Highlands collecting folk tunes and poetry, and never specified instrumentation. The instrumentation in this series is eclectic- from guitar and concertina to cittern, bodhran and pipes. The singers are varied, as is the music- dealing with the conflicts of the Scots against the Brits, love, drinking etc. Highly recommend to all- Haydn and Beethoven wrote more "classical" accompaniment to many of these tunes too.
