Jonathan Elias: Prayer Cycle (Japan Import)
JPN-SRCS-8928 Front - Large / Medium - Back - Large / Medium Format: CD Album or Maxi Single Release Date: 5/21/1999 Price: Description: JPOPhelp.com Staff Reviewed Description: REVIEW: In my many years of classical CD retail, this recording has been one of my most requested albums and one of my own personal Top 5 “Desert Island Picks” for many reasons. When I had read that Jonathan Elias wanted to compose a choral symphony incorporating prayers in different languages with various themes using soloists from all corners of the world, I was highly intrigued. “The Prayer Cycle” ultimately made its first appearance as featured music in the ABC television series "The Century.” My first hearing was on classical radio as I was leaving for work, and its unparalleled beauty caused me to stay home and ultimately miss half of my work shift because I was emotionally overwhelmed … This work is in a rubato style (freely measured), very lush and thick in its romanticism. The English Chamber Orchestra performs brilliantly, particularly the oboist whose tone reminds one of a beautifully tragic human voice laden with unfulfilled longing. Each track has a prayer sung in a different language, and my only regret is that there is no translation of the text in the CD liner. The ethereal music more than makes up for that and translation is not essential to appreciate the divine beauty of the lyrics. Each soloist brings their own desperate passion to the movements, and most surprisingly is the appearance of Alanis Morissette in what I believe to be her most powerful and intense vocal contribution to date. This CD receives a 5/5 star rating, and the end result will leave you breathless and filled with hope as the prayers are offered. Tracks: 1. Mercy 2. Strength 3. Hope 4. Compassion 5. Grace 6. Innocence 7. Forgiveness 8. Benediction 9. Faith |

Sogno (Japan Import)
JPN-POCP-7389 Front - Large / Medium - Back - Large / Medium Format: CD Album or Maxi Single Release Date: 4/21/1999 Price: Description: Description: Andrea Bocelli's 1998 release Sogno ("Dream") is a pop album of entirely original compositions that evoke traditional and modern influences. Bocelli himself describes the CD as secular Italian traditional melodic music with a contemporary twist. The album's 14 tracks include "The Prayer," a Bocelli and Celine Dion duet produced by David Foster; "Come un Fiume Tu," an intriguing collaboration with soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone; "O Mare e Tu," a duet with Dulce Pontes; and "Sogno" (the first single excerpted from the album), a light-as-a-feather, emotional composition sung by Bocelli with his typical vocal emphasis, which has made him famous around the world. Credits: Andrea Bocelli (tenor) Celine Dion (soloist) Dulce Pontes (soloist) Eros Ramazzotti (soloist) Tracks: 1. Canto Della Terra 2. The Prayer (duet with Celine Dion) 3. Sogno 4. O Mare E Tu (duet with Dulce Pontes) 5. A Volte Il Cuore 6. Cantico 7. Mai Piu' Cosi' Lontano 8. Immenso 9. Nel Cuore Lei (duet with Eros Ramazzotti) 10. Tremo E T'Amo 11. I Love Rossini 12.

Blue Bird (Japan Import)
JPN-VICP-60517 Front - Large / Medium - Back - Large / Medium Format: CD Album or Maxi Single Release Date: 4/21/1999 Price: Description: JPOPhelp.com Staff Reviewed An ethereal delight! "Blue Bird" is a breath of fresh air from a choir whose true talent had yet to be captured in the studio. Each selection is, in its own right, otherworldly. The use of studio reverb creates a sense of being in a stained-glass-window-adorned cathedral. The repertoire is beautifully chosen, and the accompaniment is very tasteful and complimentary. It does not overpower but provides the necessary emotional tension to reach the listener's soul. Though there is the innocence that so often comes with the sound of a boys choir, there is also a maturity in their sound and an understanding of harmonies, blend and balance far beyond their young years. The a-capella "Miserere" of Allegri is the quintessential track of this CD for me. Edward Burrowes' high C is brilliantly placed, clear as crystal, leaving one spellbound. Credits: Boys Air Choir Connor Burrowes (leader) Edward Burrowes (soloist) Tracks: 1. Bluebird 2. Lully, Lulla Thou Little Tiny Child 3. Magnificat in G 4. Nunc Dimittis 5. O for the Wings of a Dove {From "Hear My Prayer"} 6. Hymn-O for a Closer Walk with God 7. Miserere 8. Beati Quorum Via 9. Diaphenia 10. Sleepsong |
