#NIGHT MOODS SONGS SERIES#
The two excellent albums on this set, Lady Lonely and Night Mood, were a rewarding showcase for the adult Miss Harper, whose cool approach to a series of low-key ballads and easy, swinging touch on the up-tempo songs reveal a singer with more than a fine appreciation of jazz feeling.įor a vocalist with such jazz and pop affinities and a repertoire of attractive originals and superior standards, the great arranger-conductor Marty Paich was ideal. The liner notes by Alberto Imperato are excellent they personalize Beethoven's individuality and his humanity.THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN THE U.S.Īfter the novelty experience of a child vocalist piping her way to fame with Candy Store Blues in 1948, Toni Harper grew up into a singer with a warm, polished voice, and the taste to phrase sensitively and authoritatively. The novice listener may be suckered in by the packaging thank goodness the album delivers way more than it promises. 27 is included near the end of the album one hopes the ear is trained by that time to appreciate its elegance and sophistication. The more complex movement from the Piano Sonata No. Most of the pieces are from Beethoven's early and mid-periods. 3 ( Martha Argerich, piano, and Gidon Kremer, violin) and the breathtaking allegretto from the Piano Trio in E-flat (with the legendary trio of Kempff on piano, Henryk Szerying, violin, and Pierre Fornier, cello) - but the movements are very accessible. The label took a chance on including chamber music - the heart-pounding adagio from Sonata No. 3 - both in awe-inspiring performances with the Berlin Philharmonic. Kempff is soloist on the Beethoven "Emperor" concerto and the Piano Concerto No. The late Emil Gilels is also featured his playing is more languid, and you just might drown in his Moonlight Sonata. One of the greatest Beethoven interpreters of all time, the late Wilhelm Kempff, is featured on several movements his touch and interpretation are so perfect, my hair stands at attention when I listen. Those pieces will outlast plastic and taxes. How many times can one hear the opening movement to the Moonlight Sonata, the noble adagio cantabile from the Pathetique, or the graceful "Fur Elise" (in a spine-tingling performance by Anatol Ugorski)? Hundreds, thousands. Peter Munves headed the compilation team, and had the entire catalogue of Deutsche Grammophon (the world's premiere classical label) to choose from. That being said (and it is not really a complaint), the music is not to be sneered at. This album contains movements by Beethoven its companion album is Solo Journey, movements of soloists playing the works of J.S. There is nothing "new age" about Moonlight except for the marketing concept of packaging a compilation album to suggest a mood.
