What makes these two albums stand apart? They are content to showcase the elemental power of Tennessee Ernie Ford’s voice.
Here’s my list of twenty superlative operatic offerings of different kinds.
By all means, explore history’s tragedies on stage — virtual or otherwise. But always keep a sharp, invigorating eye on the present’s tragedies-in-the-making.
Johannes Brahms’s wistful 1894 Clarinet Sonatas receive fantastic performances.
Magic is a performative pursuit as demanding as high-wire acrobatics — yet a vocation lacking respect, perhaps for good reason.
This “father and sons on the lam” film adeptly blends genres (in this case: sci-fi plus thriller). It is well assembled, emotionally compelling, and beautifully shot.
Taken together, the selections on Attacca Quartet’s latest release is something of a meditation on the human condition.
The series gives a fine overview of its selected artists, and it does an even better job of introducing the turbulence, torments, treasures, and trippiness of 1971 to audiences who didn’t live through it (or who can’t remember much of it, for whatever reason).
