From the Notes: Taken as a whole, this substantial, important collection gives us a stimulating, revelatory cross-section of Horenstein's conducting over a span of sixteen years. Although many of his commercial recordings date from the same period, we are nonetheless presented with performances both supplementary and complementary to those already available, sinificantly filling our our aural image of Horenstein's accomplishments. May it prove to be but the first of many such surveys of his art to appear. Written by Joel Lazar, Horenstein's personal assistant during the last two years of the legendary Maestro's life, the only young conductor ever to serve in this capacity
Originally released as a double-album set in 1986, just after the Kinks had their last run at chart success, Come Dancing With the Kinks (The Best of the Kinks 1977-1986) does an excellent job of summarizing their stadium rock and AOR radio favorites on Arista. It leaves no single or radio favorite behind, while adding such terrific obscurities as "Long Distance" (originally only released as a bonus track on the State of Confusion cassette; the early '80s were a completely different world than the late '80s), the non-LP single "Father Christmas," the wonderfully sentimental album track "Better Things" (a close, upbeat cousin to Dylan's "Forever Young"), and the charming "Heart of Gold." In addition to these, there are live takes of "You Really Got Me" and "Lola" taken from the fine One From the Road album. It winds up being a representative selection of the Kinks' time as stadium warriors.
The GSC compilation 36 All-Time Greatest Hits does offer three-dozen solid songs by Dinah Shore, one of America's foremost entertainers from the '40s to the '60s, though they're scattered across three discs and the performances are of a dodgy vintage…
Following on the enormous success of Tzadik's Burt Bacharach collection, this second installment of Tzadik's Great Jewish Music series focuses on the songs of French composer Serge Gainsbourg. A superstar since the 1950's in his native France, Gainsbourg is barely known here in the United States - a condition this special tribute to his genius hopes in some way to remedy. In addition to Tzadik regulars, Tzadik is proud to be able to include tracks by Cibo Matto, Elysian Fields, Kramer, Franz Treichler (of the Young Gods), Blonde Redhead and many, many others. 21 tracks by 21 artists - over 74 minutes of music, all on one dynamic disc. This is an unusual project that you will play again and again, discovering new delights with each listen.
Wer einen perfekten Einstieg in das musikalische Schaffen des einzigsten wirklichen Weltstars deutscher Herkunft sucht, hat ihn im Album "Der blonde Engel" zweilsohne gefunden. Hier hört man einen Querschnitt durch das deutschsprachige Reportoire der großartigen Marlene Dietrich, von Liedern aus ihrem ersten großen Filmerfolg "Der blaue Engel",wie "Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt"und "Ich bin die fesche Lola", über Antikriegslieder wie "Sag mir wo die Blumen sind" und "Die Antwort weiß ganz allein der Wind", Kinderliedern wie "Sch… kleines Baby" oder frechen Titeln im Stil der 20-er Jahre wie "Wer wird denn weinen wenn man auseinandergeht" oder große Balladen voller Weltschmerz wie "Allein in einer großen Stadt" und "Die Welt war jung".
