Tamworth Tapes $22.38 Import release from the red-headed Australian Blues/Rock guitarist. On Tamworth Tapes, he recorded straight to tape, and played every instrument on the album himself. 8 Ball Aitken is the redneck preacher at the shotgun wedding between Country and Blues. It doesn’t matter which part of the family you’re from — what does matter is the funky foot-stomping hullaballoo at the all-night party afterwards. |

Rarities of Piano Music at Schloss vor Husum Festival 2005 $13.58 The Husum Piano Festival is held annually, third week of August, at Husum Castle in what native Theodor Storm called the “grey town on the sea” in North Frisia in Germany. Since 1989, Danish label Danacord has dutifully recorded every festival, and in 2005, Danacord issued a boxed set containing the 16 festivals recorded from 1989 to 2004. Danacord’s Rarities of Piano Music at Schloss vor Husum from the 2005 festival demonstrates that, despite wrapping up the past festivals by way of issuing the box, Danacord has not abandoned its commitment to recording the piano festival at Castle Husum. This time it was definitely worth the wait, as this collection is one of the best in the series.The term “rarities” is, to some degree, flexibly applied to the Schloss vor Husum series; while most of the pieces included are indeed rare works that fall outside the standard repertory, some are not. Mozart’s Variations on “Lison dormait,” K. 264, is quite common among recordings, though that may be partly as nearly everything by Mozart has been recorded many, many times. Prokofiev’s Waltz from the Six Pieces for piano, Op. 102, is not as well known as the ballet from which it comes, but it has been gaining ground. However, one of the most familiar works here — Gottschalk’s “danse de nègres” Bamboula — is among the highlights of the program in pianist Cecile Licad’s performance. Licad has had a chance to refine her interpretation of this piece since she recorded it for Naxos in 2001; her version is scintillating in the up-tempo sections and languidly smoldering in the expressive passages. Licad also takes top honors for her interpretation of a genuine, and highly significant, rarity, the first of Florent Schmitt’s luxuriantly impressionistic Ombres Op. 64/1, an early Schmitt work pioneering in the context of its era. Equally exploratory and engaging is Constantin Lifschitz playing the second movement only of George Enescu’s Sonata No. 3 Op. 24/3, a task he undertakes with great restraint and sensitivity. It’s too bad listeners can’t enjoy Lifschitz in the whole sonata, but partly that is the nature of the Schloss vor Husum in that pieces are often excerpted.Ludmil Angelov is heard in a piece by Bulgarian composer Pancho Vladigerov; equally off the beaten track is Michael Endres’ performance of Pierre Sancan’s silly but effective Boîte à Musique, which provokes fits of laughter from the live audience. Danacord’s recording, as in other entries in the series, is up close and realistic and benefits from the excellent acoustics in the Schloss and the fine instrument in use, although we’re not told anything about that (it’s a Steinway). Overall, Danacord’s Rarities of Piano Music at Schloss vor Husum from the 2005 festival is a highly entertaining program that will make pianophiles daydream about making the pilgrimage to Schloss vor Husum one year. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis , Rovi Performers: |

American Folk and Country Music Festival $74.98 Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau began organizing their American Blues and Jazz Festivals in 1962, bringing to Europe American blues and jazz players for a series of successful tours, and in the early spring of 1966 Lippmann and Rau switched gears a bit and brought over a package of the New Lost City Ramblers, the Stanley Brothers & the Clinch Mountain Band, Cyp Landreneau’s Cajun Band, Cousin Emmy, and Roscoe Holcomb, billing it as the American Folk and Country Music Festival. Although it was somewhat less fiscally viable than the blues and jazz fests, it was certainly a varied and rewarding show, and thankfully several of the stops were recorded, leading to this wonderful two-disc set featuring generous selections from all of the participating artists. Among the high points are a haunting, high lonesome version by Roscoe Holcomb of “East Virginia Blues,” the New Lost City Ramblers’ take on “Coo Coo Bird” (based, obviously, on Clarence Ashley’s famous arrangement of the song), Cyp Landreneau’s bayou meets gypsy sound on “La Danse du Lac Charles,” the harmonica and banjo playing of Cousin Emmy, and the sleek yet rustic sound of the Stanley Brothers on “Riding on That Midnight Train,” which, while it is definitely bluegrass in approach, still has an old-timey string band feel to it. Lovingly assembled like all of the Bear Family’s remarkable box sets, and generously annotated, American Folk and Country Music Festival is both a valuable historical document and a fun, even revelatory, listen. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi Performers: Don Miller – Fiddle; Ralph Stanley – Banjo, Vocals; George Shuffler – Guitar; John Cohen – Vocals; Mike Seeger – Vocals; Tracy Schwarz – Vocals |
