 Written on May 9, 2005 Summary: Best Recording This Blend of English art song is fantastic a must have for any serious bass-baritone. Not only the always amazing and tremendous interpretation of song by Terfel but especially in the Finzi and Williams do we finally, I reitterate Finally, hear the story of the Young composers passion come out! Also another plus to Terfel, we hear the best bass baritone sound that I think I have ever heard from him! I have listened to every CD that he has made to date including the new silent noon and this is still my most frequently used selection. Also Coach accompanist take a listen to the way that Martineau plays this music it is infactuating! If you buy a Bryn Terfel CD I would reccomend this one!  Written on November 27, 2003 Summary: Vaughan-Williams Over Interpreted I love the Vaughan-Willams cycle, and I was puzzled and disappointed by this performance. Bryn Terfel's interpretation of the Songs of Travel is wildly overdone. He really milks every line and phrase for maximum vocal effect--totally over the top. This particular work requires a straight forward approach. Terfel's mannered performance undermines the direct emotional appeal of these simple, yet affecting songs. Much more successful is his rendering of the Butterworth, Finzi and Ireland where he shows great sensitivity to the subtleties of the texts. I really admire his fine performance in this less familiar repetory.  Written on August 2, 2003 Summary: Over Done I agree with another reviewer that the sound on many of the tracks is way to produced and nothing like what a live recital would sound like. I do however think Bryn does a very good job of reciting the text so it's clear and does a good job of expressing what the music really is saying through his dynamics, etc. But his voice to me just has an over done sound. He also has some very odd vowels he uses when he sings that just seem awkward to my ears. I recommend to anyone who is a R. V. Williams fan and loves Songs of Travel to look into Gerald Finley's recording of the Songs of Travel (plus 14 other wonderful songs). Personally, I believe they are done much better then the versions on this recording and I also think that Gerald Finley's voice is just simply better. Written on April 29, 2002 Summary: Live or Recorded? This is a tough CD to comment on. It is full of great music which deserves to be heard, but which is often neglected. And Terfel is a great singer who, at least in person, is full of charm and wit which bubbles out through his performances. On the other hand, the other hand, this sound is way over processed and does not remotely resemble a real world performance of the works. For example, in "Is my Team Ploughing", Terfel does not actually sing the song the way that he would in performance, but rather plays "mike" tricks with a recording engineer on the dial. That is too bad. His "real" performance would have been all the more captivating. Perhaps, next time, Terfel can issue two versions... one with overprocessed sound and one "unplugged" in which his real sound can come out. Written on January 29, 2002 Summary: Excellent interpretations of oft-neglected literature While Bryn Terfel is not one of my favorite opera singers, I have gained a new admiration for him after hearing his uncanny renditions of some very famous and some very obscure English art songs. Some of this repertoire is well known to vocalists, and as often is the case with art song collections, is only really of interest to vocalists. However, Terfel's performances make this particular anthology a thrill for anyone interested in English music or the human voice. Terfel's voice soars to majestic fortes and sublime pianissimos on this recording (causing much distress involving the volume knob at times). He infuses these songs with such passion that not even Terfel himself seems to be able to parallel in many of his other recordings. His interpretation of Vaughan Williams' "In Dreams" is particularly exciting. His high range is unusually free in a lot of the songs, and his phrasing is immaculate. There really isn't anything bad I can say about Terfel's performance, although some of the music has become obscure for a reason. A couple of the songs, while not bad songs overall, are not really well constructed, and with all the excitement that Terfel gives them, they still aren't really all that much fun to listen to. Anyway, be forewarned of that. This CD should be indisposable to all voice students. |
