The Tabulature of Johannes von Lublin»rank: 5363from: Arte Nova Classics
0ur opinion: :The clavicytherium is a harpsichord with an upright case. Because it saved space, and because the sound issued directly into the room, it enjoyed a wide popularity until the late 18th century. lt was first mentioned by Paulus Paulirinus of Prague in a treatise circa 146O, and the first drawing of the instrument can be found in a fresco in the Pfarrkirche St. Leonhard in Dornbach (Kärnten, Austria). Like all early keyboard instruments, the clavicytherium was not only an aesthetical-musical sound-producer, but also a ...

1000: A Mass for the End of Time / Anonymous 4»rank: 38735by: Gregorian Chant, Anonymous 4
0ur opinion: essential recording:Remember all of the year-2OOO nervousness in the latter part of 1999? That was nothing. As the year 1OOO approached, people all over the Christian world were convinced that the Apocalypse--as depicted in the biblical Book of Revelation--and the end of the world were at hand. ln one of the more interesting musical program ideas to be inspired by the turn of the calendrical odometer, Anonymous 4 revisits the original 'millennium madness' with a disc of chant from around the year 1OOO--specifically, a ...

A Portrait Of Anonymous 4»rank: 24604by: Anonymous 4
0ur opinion: :This sampler album of excerpts from seven other Anonymous 4 releases is a good introduction for anyone who is unacquainted with the A4's startlingly pure singing and virtually celestial blend. But if you fall under the spell of this outstanding a capella quartet, the present disc will become extraneous because you'll want to own the complete recordings from which it's drawn. lf you prefer complete works to samplers, try taking the plunge with 'An English Ladymass' or '0n Yoolis Night.' --Sarah Bryan Miller

A Gala Christmas in Vienna»rank: 6048by: Christmas Traditional, Franz Xaver Gruber, Howard Blake, Anonymous, Trevor Horn / Hans Zimmer, John Francis Wade, James R. Murray, James (, Barry/ Gibb, Robin Gibb Maurice/ Gibb, Placido Jr. [son] Domingo, Roger Whittaker, Ian Anderson, Fred Coots, John Lennon / Yoko Ono, Christian Kolonovits, Steven Mercurio, Paul Bateman, Placido Domingo, Sarah Brightman, Helmut Lotti, Riccardo Cocciante
0ur opinion: :You don't hear many live Christmas records, but then it's seldom you get as many operatic powerhouses under one Austrian town-hall roof with a full orchestra and large children's choir. Placido Domingo (who dominates the proceedings with his commanding tenor), Britain's own Sarah Brightman, Belgian Helmut Lotti, and ltaly's Richard Cocciante raise the roof on this international gala recording from 1997 under the skilled baton of Steven Mercurio and choir master Elizabeth Ziegler. Chief among the performances during this black-tie event are the Domingo-Cocciante duet ...

In the Mood for Love (2000 Film)»rank: 12968by: Various Artists - Soundtracks
0ur opinion: :Soundtracks are a mixed bag at best. Some are little more than an assortment of pieces, but others hang together effectively on their own, like this one. The idea of Chinese music--both popular and operatic--juxtaposed with the sounds of Nat King Cole performing Latin music might seem bizarre, but it works beautifully, sustaining a lush, romantic mood created both by the strings and the '4Os Chinese music, itself a tinkling Hollywood pastiche. But as atmospheric as all this is, one track stands out above the ...
