It is one of my favorite albums.
<br />
<br />Relative to another reviewer's comments that it 'didn't seem Brazilian': Ernesto Nazareth composed this music over 100 years ago. He is credited with inventing the tango style of music. Perhaps that is why it does not sound Brazilian in today's sense of the meaning. B000002K4G32A2KL8AUN5Q7WEP62000-06-13Not bad, but not Brazilian....First I must apologize because I am reviewing an album I haven't heard all the way through. The basis for my review is therefore very limited, and the reader is hereby cautioned about my remarks. The playing on the disk is very competent if the audience is a Parisien salon, but it doesn't seem very Brazilian to me -- it doesn't have the swing, the rhythm, the total Brazilian coolness that I have found on recordings on other instruments. What I mean is, listen to Jacob do Bandolim and Paulo Moura, for example, and you'll get a whole different sense -- a truer one -- of the way this music should be heard and enjoyed.B000002K4G58ATVPDKIKX0DER91999-08-03Relaxation and exhilaration in a variety of lovely pieces.Piano recordings of E.Nazareth are hard to come by. Finally, after around two years of wait and a disappointment with M.Bratke, along comes this CD like a wonderful bouquet of the most colorful flowers. It is Joplinesque, Chopinesque. It is classical but light. It is merry, sublime, gay -in its proper sense- and humorous. About the only regret I have is the fact that pianists, who interpret Ernesto Nazareth compete with almost the same selections, I'm sure he composed many more. I grabbed Ms. Ferman's CD because it has the most.<p>Wonderful recording, wonderful music!<p>GO GET IT!!300358General85Classical301668Styles5174B00000E56Ihttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=ws%26link_code=xm2%26camp=2025%26creative=165953%26path=http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%253fASIN=B00000E56I%2526location=/o/ASIN/B00000E56I%25253FSubscriptionId=0CNXJKY3C82HD479K602119590http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000E56I.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg5049http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000E56I.01._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg130128http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000E56I.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg300296Audio CDMeredith MonkMeredith MonkThomas BogdanVictoria BoomsmaJanis BrennerKathleen CarrollShi-Zheng ChenJohn CipollaAllison EasterRobert EenDina Emerson3598USD$35.98210Music2000-04-18Monk: Atlas - An Opera in Three Parts0289437773222553USD$25.532553USD$25.531880011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewy7ykcZovFRCZcCv90KvliRBBnqNfNQWqi3APEIl9mUdfQ7GTFWLsyAUPs13027kXoGr9ii2f6Sc%3D3598USD$35.98Usually ships in 24 hours3.051B00000E56I43A3ODGAW5Z2EJ1M32002-10-05Throw out everything you knew before!As is clear below by the existence of 1 and 5 star reviews only, Meredith Monk is like most 'modern classical' composers. You're either going to love this or hate it. For my part, on first listen, I wasn't sure which category I would fall. <p>First, I must confess that my bias has always been against opera. Composers of opera tend to butcher both the melody and libretto all in the name of an elusive drama that usually falls quite flat. That being said, if you are a fan of traditional opera a la Gluck, Verdi and Wagner, you will never like 'Atlas' which consists mostly of wordless vocalise over repeating patterns played by a 10 peice orchestra. The cast mimics animal noises, claps, screams, shrieks and orrates occasional gibberish.<p>In a strange way however, this is no different than hearing Stravinsky, Babbit or Glass for the first time. It takes a lot of work and, in a sense, we need to re-learn how to listen. Normally, we are used to hearing exposition, development, recapitulation, bel canto and leitmotif. With Monk, we don't get that but instead a continual rich vocal tapestry over magically floating chamber orchestra. Yes, it takes endurance but MAN is it worth it. In fact, 'future quest' (track 4) and 'Agricultural community" (track 10)contains some of the most beautiful vocal writing I've heard in some time. <p> A quick disclaimer about the comparisons below to Philip Glass. Monk's technique, especially in her syncopations and instrumental voicings using 4ths, 5ths and 9ths, I would put 'Atlas' closer to Steve Reich's 'Tehillem' and 'Different Trains.' Still, Monks vocal writing is incomparable and in a crazy way, gorgeous. Pick it up; love it, hate it, sing along if you dare. Just listen to it!!B00000E56I12A2ID7JGOK1TSZW62001-04-18Utter garbageDon't get me wrong. I like some of Meredith Monk's stuff (when she's not on some hallucinogen), but this is going to far. Plot, musical coherence, dramatism, take your pick--unfortunately, none of it is there. Experimentation is all well and good if you can pull it off at least with some minor hint of artistic expression, but Atlas is utterly nonsensical and way too repetitive to be considered a work of art. If, after hearing this, you are still brave enough to give Meredith Monk another try, check out Book of Days. It's much more musically coherent and much easier to grasp. It also, in my opinion, is a much better expression of Monk's continuing search to expand the capabilities of the human voice.B00000E56I13A282NT6X75ETCF72001-04-18A Modern Minimalist DisasterI sadly wasted approximately 2 hours of my life listening to this sorely lacking "opera". I was not at all surprised to read in the notes that the score had never actually been written to the piece, but rather, Monk came to the studio with a few ideas and improvised much of the work. The tracks repeat endlessly without any meaningful development. Some of them contain nonsensical dialogue as well, which adds little to the opera's overall effect. Listen to the sample track "Ice Demons" for a good demonstration of ludicrous and pretentious composition. While I'm not a devoted fan of minimalism in general, I can at least enjoy it on occassion. In my opinion, some minimalist works like "Einstein on the Beach" by Philip Glass are far more sophisticated than Monk's opera and don't have the aggravating tendency to take themselves too seriously. Monk's overdramatic spiritual nonsense really gets on the nerves.B00000E56I43AYX1FRZ5U168V32000-06-05Strange, wonderful and very humanBefore listening to this work, you'd be well advised unburden youself of all the expectations implied by the words "opera" and "avant garde". It's theatrical, tells a story of sorts, and there's a great deal of singing, but it's very different from the usual notion of opera. The instrumental accompaniment is sparse, and mostly serves to keep time. There are few words, and almost all of them spoken (typical for Monk's work). It's not cold, sterile or academic. That aside, this is a strangely moving and beautiful work that will grow on you. You're unlikely to see it performed live, so this recording may be the only way you'll ever experience it. The extended vocal techniques work to a dramatic purpose, and there is a meaningful musical climax with some stunning ensemble singing. Well worth the price.B00000E56I55ANSGGIZXEMO4T52000-05-24An Opera without words . . . and a masterpieceMonk's "Atlas" is one of the important works of the later 20th century. It is an opera almost entirely without words, and those words in it are spare and enigmatic. Yet, even without the staging on hand, the narrative comes through in the music and the vocalising. Her idea was simple, sincere and quite radical, and beautifully done.<p>The style of the music is very much the Minimalism of Philip Glass, not as complex harmonically, but the same sound world and style. It's very beautiful, and if Minimalist works appeal to you, as well as fascinating experimentation, than you should seek out this great piece.Amazon.comThreading together Meredith Monk's various guises in the world of avant-garde performance art (from dance and mime to multimedia explorations) is her sensibility first and foremost as a composer, one who creates from the musical imagination's love of pattern and texture. And in <I>Atlas</I>, her full-length opera commissioned by Houston Grand Opera and premiered in 1991, Monk brings together several decades' worth of pioneering ways of expression. Yes, this is an opera involving almost no text and presenting a nonlinear, dreamlike collage in lieu of traditional narrative, but an opera all the same in the centrality of the human voice as the source and vehicle for conveying a dazzling multiplicity of states (Monk herself describes her use of the term "opera" to capture "the multiperceptual, mosaic form that I was envisioning.") Based quite loosely on the travel writings of Victorian adventurer Alexandra David-Neel, <I>Atlas</I> involves the journey of an Everywoman as an analog for spiritual questing, for a movement from the outer world to an inner, lost, or forgotten dimension. Monk's trademark work in "extended vocal technique" (work that links her with such other mavericks as Laurie Anderson and Joan La Barbara) is the basis for the opera's sound world, and she's trained her fellow cast members (Monk herself performs one of the three stages in the life of <I>Atlas</I>'s heroine) to attain the remarkable flexibility required for its strangely beautiful, magnificently ranging variety of vocalise--from complex, microtonal, birdlike imitations to Tibetan chanting and quivering ululation. The repetitive, always slightly changing patterns of the melodic cells might be pigeonholed as "minimalism" (a term Monk, like Steve Reich, abjures), but this would be an unnecessary reduction for the fantastically original and appealing, rhythmically subtle, and unexpected fabrics that Monk weaves--with spare accompaniments by a chamber-size orchestra and the exotic colorings of glass harmonica. The booklet contains color photos of the original production--but even without the theatrical experience, <I>Atlas</I> comes through as a haunting and uniquely beautiful vision of the untapped possibilities of the lyrical stage. <I>--Thomas May</I>B0000260VMMonk: Do You BeB000025ZJMBook of DaysB00006RINBMercyB0000261O9Meredith Monk: Dolmen MusicB00000E563Meredith Monk: Facing North37780Vocal & Song37260Modern, 20th, & 21st Century36712Historical Periods85Classical301668Styles517464329General84Opera & Vocal301668Styles517464397Modern & 20th Century64330Historical Periods84Opera & Vocal301668Styles5174300358General85Classical301668Styles5174892978ECM Classical301903ECM Records301122Amazon.com Label Stores892976Labels51742VLRORLCLWL2RGreat Female Composers30SIVXJUZFJ6LBest Contemporary Classical1PQ1STLIBXJDGGreat Modern Operas (1985 - Present)3UNHP3KWP0XDWavant garde boogeymen of 20th century music1YTWH09JVY97H20th century women composers: an under appreciated minority2UGSBQ5GA47CIartmusic; an essential 12 packKKWDDO1WX8OQsome avant-garde recordings
