Music Review: Music to Sweep You Away
Rating: 5 Stars
I am continually amazed at the quality of music available for such little cost. I was browsing through my local record store (yes some of us still do go to record stores & will continue to do so until such time that the downloads offered are of CD quality - but i digress) and came across this CD for only $3.99 - how could i go wrong i thought to myself for such little expense. I got home uploaded it into my itunes and began listening to it on my headphone setup and i was just swept away and taken to another world with this vast expansive "landscape" type of music. The picture on the cover is indeed very appropriate for this music. The music is big and voluminous but always in control and you never feel lost on your journey as you are carried away.
Like most people (i guess) my only association with Barber's music prior to me purchasing this album on a whim was with his "Adagio for Strings" which i have always loved. After listening to this CD i find Barber's music is so captivating & engaging. The type of music that no matter what you are doing at the time as soon as the music begins to play it makes you want to stop what you are doing and pay attention. It draws you in and takes you away.
But with this disc particularly the "Canzonetta for Oboe & Strings" was worth the price i paid alone - just an exquisite piece of music. I like my music and am not a professional critic by any measure so if there are any technical flaws in the playing then i certainly couldn't tell. I found the playing of the music to be of the highest order.
Another Strong Recommendation for this CD.
