5.0 out of 5 starsGreat introduction to a seasonal musical fest (and feast)
By Bob Zeidler on May 3, 2001
Format: Audio CD
I have vivid memories of attending my first Paul Winter Consort "Winter Solstice" concert at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine some half-dozen years ago. At that time, I was perhaps just short of two years into acquiring and traversing his works available then, but this Solstice Live album was not one of those already in my library. And so that Winter Solstice concert was a certifiably new experience for me. And I was like and 8-year-old enjoying his first circus. I even had a stiff neck the morning after, just as that 8-year-old at his first circus would have had.

This annual gig is a perfect example of "theater in the round" (and an explanation for that stiff neck of mine). That it is "theater" as much as it is "music" may or may not come across in this excellent album, but I think that it will, in light of the sophisticated techniques used to record the program. And a good program this one was, fully up to the expectations of the thousands of members in the audience who have, since 1980, turned this event into an annual ritual.

The 66 minutes on this album makes it a "highlights" album, since Paul Winter's Solstice concerts typically run two hours or more.

But what highlights! The opening fanfare, a Solstice tradition, has Paul Winter high in the balcony of the cathedral, as far away as possible from the central stage placed at the "crossing" of the cathedral, followed by Gordon Gottlieb's wake-up call on timpani. A great pairing of two knock-your-socks-off voices: Nóirin Ní Riain singing "Christmas Day Is Come" and Kecia Lewis-Evans bringing the house down with "The Sparrow," a gospel song that truly soars. One of Rhonda Larson's virtuosic turns on flute in "Highland Heaven.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is a must hear; fantistic music!!!!!
By A Customer on October 27, 1998
Format: Audio CD
If you are interested in hearing a truly "BIG" sound of music, this is one CD that is a must for your collection. This CD coordinates, marvelously, the sounds of primitive instruments, woodwinds, percussion, gongs, etc., accompanied by the Great Organ of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in New York, where the concert was performed live. You, too, will join the audience in thunderous applause for this magnificent production!

5.0 out of 5 starsA celebration of diversity!
By Brianna Neal on May 26, 2003
Format: Audio CD
Fascinating, ever-evolving compositions and improvisations by musicians from around the world, performed in New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine to celebrate the Winter Solstice. Even though this is a recording of new material with numerous guest artists, it plays almost like a "Best Of ..." compilation in that it showcases the variety of composition and performance styles that the Paul Winter Consort has explored and perfected over the years--classic jazz, "cathedral blues", chamber music, South American, world fusion and collaboration with animals. For the first few times you listen to "Solstice Live!", you many never quite know what to expect next, yet all the diverse selections fit and flow together, blending mystery and excitement, joy and lament into a satisfying whole. Highlights of this album include "Tomorrow is my Dancing Day", "Hodie" and "Midnight/Adeste Fidelis", all of which reinterpret traditional Christmas songs, blending them with other musical styles and suitable new harmonies. Also striking are the lovely, soaring flutistry of Rhonda Larson, and the joyfully dissonant Russian singing of the Dmitri Pokrovsky Singers. One number that particularly struck me is "Boon Song", a wonderful trio for saxophone, flute and the Uirapuru (an Amazon rainforest wren who was presumably recorded in its own home rather than in the cathedral itself). The song is a great example of how this group can take inspiration from one of nature's voices and craft beautiful ensemble music, which sounds particularly fresh and new since the melody is not of man. In fact, the Uirapuru is given top billing as composer in the credits, with only secondary credit going to keyboardist Paul Halley. This is very cool stuff--a celebration of diversity, artistry, spirit, and triumph of light over darkness. I like this CD better and better every time I listen to it! For more recordings of the Winter Consort's Solstice concerts, try also "Journey with the Sun" and "Celtic Solstice".

4.0 out of 5 starsPaul Winter's gift of music for the holidays: lovely and eclectic...
By BRIAN A. O'DELL on December 8, 2015
Format: Audio CD
Paul Winter's Consort is always best seen live to fully appreciate the wide mix of music jazz, Holiday, new age, "Christian" and pagan-ish tribal. This album is of their first concert at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC. I'd prefer to give it 3-1/2 stars if I could, but 4 stars may influence someone to take a chance and purchase a used copy of this album as an introduction to his music (and better yet, his live concerts). I enjoy listening to this album once a year as a post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas season gift of the season.

5.0 out of 5 starsIf you're not sure, imagine this gong!
By R. S. Ball on December 22, 2004
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
We live in Michigan, get to spend some time in Tucson. After hearing a live broadcast on NPR, we got tickets, used frequent-flyer mileage and flew from Tucson-NYC-Tucson to see this spectacle. Didn't let us down; as the narrator on the live broadcast had described, at a climactic moment, this 5- or 6-foot gong at the back of this enormous cathedral is hauled up 100 feet, with this guy in a bosun's chair being hauled up with it, whacking away at it with a gong. It's all inspiring, entertaining. After, we walked down Amsterdam 30 blocks and heard folks around us singing and howling (the Howleluja Chorus). Not a review of the CD? Yes it is, the CD admirably invokes being there, even without the Howls. It's Dec. 22, 2004 and I can't find the CD and it's not on my iPod or in my computer and I can't get it delivered in time for Christmas, let alone the solstice. More to the point, Solstice Live is a grand recording, entirely representative of the performance. And if audio is sometimes a little quiet, consider that fixed microphones are sometimes recording processions down a very, very long aisle. That's Solstice Live!
