Music reviews of CBS Masterworks Dinner Classics: Sunday Brunch Album
Music Review: Buy This For The Liner Notes, Not Just The Music!
Rating: 4 Stars
The other reviews describe the music fairly - these are generally pleasant, familiar chamber favorites, well played in a quality recording. Played low, it's perfect background music for Sunday brunch, weekday lunch, or any venue where the conversation (and gossip) takes center stage over the food.
The only thing I'd add to this recording is some muted sounds of silverware on plates, coffee being poured, and catty remarks. Just kidding.
But...the real attraction for this CD is the liner notes...written by the now-notorious Martha Stewart! ("Brunch is fast becoming America's favorite informal way to entertain family and friends.") Along with a suggested menu, including three recipes! These are:
Pecan Waffles With Maple Butter
Red Caviar and Sour Cream Omelettes
Sticky Buns
Well! This is certainly something that other classical recordings can't claim! Furtwangler or von Karajan never thought of *this*! Zubin Mehta, eat your heart out, if you will pardon the expression!
The music is fine. In fact, Tommasini's music from The Good Humored Ladies can be enjoyed guilt-free, secure in the knowledge that "The batter will keep for about 2 days if stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator."
Further comment seems superfluous. For the entertainer, it absolutely lives up to its billing. For the classical music aficionado, it's fine...if I could just stop thinking about kneading the dough for the sticky buns until it's smooth and satiny. Four stars.
