Music reviews of Modern American Vocal Works - Barber, Copland, Thomson

Music Review: One of my favorites - and I don't much care for vocal music
Rating: 5 Stars

Though I'm not a huge fan of vocal music, this is one of my very favorite of over 1,200 CDs in my collection. It's a lovely collection, with no weak spot. Eleanor Steber in the first recording of Knoxville 1915 is magnificent, and I can never listen to anyone else do Copland's Old American Songs after hearing William Warfield's rendition here. The real finds here, though, are the Thomson works: Stabat Mater is brief but haunting and memorable, and Capital Capitals is inventive and hilarious. In this company, the young Leontyne Price in Barber's Hermit Songs is almost beside the point. I cannot recommend this CD highly enough.
