Catherine Ribeiro: l'Amour aux Nues

I think the editor made a mistake in the title : one should read " nues " ( clouds, sky ) instead of " nus " ( naked ).
One of the greatest french singers, an absolute must, live, 1992.

French Singer | 2 CD's | MP3 @192 kbps | 98.7 ~ 66.7 MB
Genre: French Songs

“

Du très grand spectacle. Adulé, parfois détesté, Michel SARDOU dure et perdure pour le plaisir de la majorité d'entre nous. Une amicale, chaleureuse présence, une voix toujours aussi puissante, un charisme, une générosité sans faille, de l'humour à revendre...en 39 chansons couvrant sa belle carrière du début à aujourd'hui. Acccompagné par de sublimes musiciennes et musiciens (ils ne sont pas aussi jolis, forcément, mais ont un égal talent). Quant aux choristes, où Michel est-il allé les chercher ??? Incroyablement bellissimes, des voix à faire danser les Saints et une présence scénique...paradisiaque...forcément ! SARDOU enchaîne chansons sur chansons, avec élégance, talent, générosité.

Bryan Ferry - Dylanesque Live: The London Sessions (2007)

Genre: Rock

Dylanesque Live: The London Sessions not only captures Ferry and his band performing the album live (for the camera – not an audience), it also gives insight into the rationale for and creation process of the project. Thankfully, as the interviews with Ferry make clear, his reasons for making the album were noble. As he explains, Dylan is an artist like Donne or Shakespeare, one whose work grows in mystique and quality with the passage of time. In essence, the versions on Dylanesque are Ferry’s interpretations of Dylan’s songs, much like an actor would interpret a Shakespearean monologue.

MONTSERRAT CABALLE: Rarities ; Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi (rec 1967-1969)

MONTSERRAT CABALLE: Rarities ; Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi (rec. 1967-69)
Opera | 2CDs | EAC, FLAC, CUE, LOG, covers | 650 MB

Back in 1967-69 Montserrat Caballe, not yet the star she went on to become, recorded 3 LP of (then) extremely rare, forgotten and underestimated opera excerpts: Each LP dedicated one composer. The concept was not only extremely audacious (even for the immediate post-Callas years) but also very innovative: Montserrat, a pioneer even there, proposed entire scenes from each opera, not just the arias out of context. Of course, in the meantime she was preparing the revivals of many, if not all, of the (then) rare operas she was presenting. The singing is magnificent troughout and the variety of the items just as striking. All the trademark Caballe qualities are of course present, magnificent voice, fearless coloratura, incredible pianissimi, inepuisable breath and so on. The sensation that these issues provoked made the LPs quickly very sought-after, until they were reissued in 1992 in 2 CDs (the edition presented here),.There has been a recent reissue by BMG, in a super-budget series. Possibly one of the greatest Caballe recordings ever.

“

...She's at her best here, singing with the fire that sometimes seemed to elude her, flaunting her ravishing pianissimos, and never breaking a sweat or taking an untoward breath as she tosses off difficult coloratura passages with ease [...] This is a must for any lover of great singing.

MONTSERRAT CABALLE-SHIRLEY VERRETT: Great Operatic Duets (Rossini;Donizetti;Bellini;Verdi;Puccini;Offenbach)

MONTSERRAT CABALLE - SHIRLEY VERRETT: Great Operatic Duets
(Rossini;Donizetti;Bellini;Verdi;Puccini;Offenbach;Ponchielli) Rec. 1969
Opera | EAC | FLAC | CUE | LOG | Covers | 220MB

A friend recently gave me this CD and I fell instantly in love: Recorded back in 1969 when both artists were at their pic, this is one of the essential recordings of vocal music: The two voices blend magnificently and we can feel that they both enjoy the collaboration. There is no point highlighting this or that excerpt; Verrett has recorded Giovanna Seymour against Sills' Bolena, Caballe Norma with Cossoto: Just compare these quite famous versions and the excerpts here and you will understand what I mean: Two powerhouses. Perhaps some more dramatic elan (never Caballe's forte) would had made the Gioconda duet more exciting. Anyhow, it would be cheap to discuss this and that detail, when one can enjoy this impressive showcase of what two voices can achieve in romantic opera.

I wish to thank Audiomar for his most generous and invaluable help in EAC ajustments :-)

Bryan Ferry - Dylanesque [CD + Live DVD] (2007)

Bryan Ferry - Dylanesque [CD + Live DVD] (2007)

DVD: Full Range DVD5 (VIDEO_TS) | 4.23 GB | Covers & Booklet Scans (PNG 300 dpi) - 133 MB
Genre: Rock

As a long-time and avid fan of Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical of the thought of Bryan Ferry doing a whole album of Dylan music. But - his interpretations of each song is brilliant! Ferry puts his heart and soul into each song. It is obvious that he is 'into' it. He plays more harmonica than ever before, and is 'soulful'. The band, overall, is tight and each version of Dylan's songs, actually, improves somewhat on the originals.

For those who have appreciated my first Bidu Sayão post (Bidu Sayão), here is the second volume of the Masterworks Heritage edition. She sings mostly Mozart and Puccini, in a somewhat "old fashioned" way but with that crystaline purity of voice, so characteristic of hers. Also, a very nice version of Debussy's Demoiselle Elue, quite stunning.
