The ensemble’s work— synonymous with the best in vocal ensemble performances—appeals to a vast international audience. The singers perform more than 120 concerts each year, touring regularly in Europe, Asia, Australasia, and North America. The group is admired for musical excellence and recognized as consummate entertainers—a class act with a delightful British wit. The sextet’s generous spirit and magical ability to move audiences has remained constant since the group’s founding in 1968. The ensemble has premiered more than 200 works, including landmark composi- tions by Luciano Berio, György Ligeti, James MacMillan, Krzysztof Penderecki, Toru Takemitsu, John Tavener, and Eric Whitacre. The double Grammy Award-winning artists were honored in 2009 for the Signum Classics release Simple Gifts and again in 2012 for a contribution to Eric Whita- cre’s Light & Gold album on Decca. In 2013, the sextet was chosen as one of only two vocal ensembles to enter the Gramophone Hall of Fame, recognized for a unique discography of more than 150 albums. Highlights of the group’s 2014–2015 season include: two performances in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw; a Christmas concert in Washington National Cathe- dral; a visit to the Grand Philharmonic Hall of St. Petersburg; an invitation to per- form at the American Choral Directors Association annual conference in Salt Lake City; and a residential summer school in the United Kingdom.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.

  • "Amazon Editorial Reviews" Amazon.Com
    Editorial Reviews Amazon.com It's a credit to James Darren that he can record an album that so clearly owes a great debt to Frank Sinatra yet still sounds fresh. The former early-'60s teen idol is best known these days as Vic Fontaine, a virtual Rat Pack-type crooner who appears on the holodeck of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and these swinging standards were all performed on that show. (He thus follows in the footsteps of Next Generation's Brent Spiner, who recorded a Sinatra-esque album in 1991 entitled Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back.) Darren, whose voice is a closer match to Tony Bennett's than to Sinatra's, is supported by an excellent orchestra, a cast of A-list arrangers including Alan Broadbent, Sammy Nestico, and Marty Paich, and a top-to-bottom collection of great songs. DS9 fans would do well to grab this right away, as would all fans of this timeless style of singing. -- David Horiuchi Media Type: CD Artist: DARREN,JAMES Title: THIS ONE'S FROM THE HEART Street Release Date: 08/24/1999 Domestic Genre: OLDIES Most Recent Customer Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars This is from the tops!, November 24, 2011 By Wilbert N.

  • Review of a Ship Without a Sail: the Life of Lorenz Hart by Gary Marmorstein
    Review of A Ship Without a Sail: The Life of Lorenz Hart by Gary Marmorstein The hits of the songwriting team of Richard Rodgers (1902-1979) and Lorenz Hart (1895-1943) are numerous. People familiar with what has been called “American Popular Song” since publication of the seminal work by Alec Wilder entitled: American Popular Song: The Great innovators – 1900-1950 in 1972, are fondly aware of the charms of “Manhattan,” “With a Song in My Heart,” “The Blue Room,” “Dancing on the Ceiling,” “Isn’t It Romantic,” “Blue Moon,” “It’s Easy to Remember,” “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,” “”My Romance,” “Lover,” “There’s a Small Hotel,” “”The Lady is a Tramp,” “Bewitched,” “My Funny Valentine,” “”Where of When,” “Falling in Love with Love,” “This Can’t be Love,” “and “I Didn’t Know What Time it Was.” These Rodgers and Hart songs were ubiquitous in the golden age of American Popular Song, when they were sung from the Broadway stage, in Hollywood films, on network radio, and by singers with the great dance bands that endlessly toured the nation. Consequently, they became embedded in the musical consciousness (and subconscious) of a significant part of the American populace in the years 1925-1950, and beyond. In addition to these hits, all of which have considerable musical merit (thank you Mr. Rodgers) and lyrical merit (thank you Mr. Hart), are many other Rodgers and Hart songs of great worth. These include: “Mountain Greenery,” “This Funny World,” “Thou Swell,” “My Heart Stood Still,” “”You Took Advantage of Me,” “A Ship Without a Sail,” “He Was Too Good to Me,” “Ten Cents a Dance,” “”Spring is Here,” “”You Are Too Beautiful,” “Little Girl Blue,” “Glad to be Unhappy,” “Quiet Night,” “Have You Met Miss Jones?” “My Own,” “It Never Entered My Mind,” “I Could Write a Book,” and Wait ‘Till You See Her.” The songs of Rodgers and Hart have transcended the purposes for which they were created and are now a part of the fabric of American culture.
