"SONGS OF AMY BEACH" IS TIMELESS,
By KCA (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Songs of Amy Beach; Patrick Mason, baritone; Joanne Polk, piano (Audio CD)
What a delight! I received this disc as a gift and enjoyed it more than any set of songs since the first time I heard Schubert's "Die Schoene Mullerin".
Amy Beach's charming songs for baritone and piano, written at the turn of the century, escape any hint of sentimentality and travel straight to the heart, sometimes with complexity, but often with timeless simplicity. "Sweetheart, Sigh No More" is the most enchanting love song I have heard in years. You will long to be desperately in love again. Patrick Mason woos his lover with a luscious baritone that reminds me of Dietrich Fischer-Diescau's and a wonderful intimacy made up of tenderness,humor,and masculinity. The interpretations of Mr. Mason and Joanne Polk are passionate, thoughtful and vital. Some are whimsical, such as "Wouldn't That Be Queer" and some are just plain wise and fresh, as in "Baby". Hats off to Mr. Mason, Ms. Polk and Bridge Records for a real beauty! Give a copy of this disc to everyone you love. |
