Terrific, rarely heard music,
By
This review is from: The Calm: Inspired 20th Century Classics (Audio CD)
The title of this compilation is incredibly accurate IF you enjoy modern music. It doesn't really fit the traditional, mainstream definition of relaxing music -- nice, quiet Mozart or Vivaldi, for example. It does, however, feature beautiful, powerful, sublime modern music. Each track is a revelation, from the more familiar Messiaen and Satie to the rest of the album, all pieces that I had not heard before. Paul Honey, Joseph Curiale, and James MacMillan all deserve a wider audience. Hopefully, their inclusion on this compilation will help them gain that audience.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Good works of Satie and Oliver, but....,

This review is from: The Calm: Inspired 20th Century Classics (Audio CD)
I enjoyed this album as far as the QUARTET of Olivier and the works of Satie. Not sure how/why the caliber of Curiale's music is included on this CD. Not in the same league as the aforementioned composers, but the album is worth the listen for just Quartet For The End Of Time if nothing else. |
