The Motive And The Cue

A double CD set including Live At The Venue and the 4th Album Rehearsal Sessions (both containing recordings from 1980). Featuring a line-up of Bill Bruford, John Clark, Dave Stewart and Jeff Berlin, both of these discs were previously only available in the Seems Like a Lifetime Ago box set and see their first release outside of the box here. This definitive re-release is on Bruford’s own Winterfold Records and was overseen personally by Bill.

While it's true this set has been given the highest rating AMG awards, it comes with a qualifier: the rating is for the music and the package, not necessarily the presentation. Presentation is a compiler's nightmare in the case of artists like John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman, who recorded often and at different times and had most of their recordings issued from the wealth of material available at the time a record was needed rather than culling an album from a particular session.

This magnificent compilation of the greatest Wagner singers and conductors of the 20s and early 30s is an absolute MUST for everyone who is remotely interrested in how Wagner was done in the past.
The greatest attractions are the magnificent interpretations of Friedrich Schorr, Frida Leider and the young Lauritz Melchior. Schorr sings Wotan in the excerpts from Die Walkure and Leider sings Brunnhilde. Melchior sings the young Siegfried.
