Rafi in Sonu Nigams voice... Advantages: You get to hear Rafi's songs with the Birmingham symphony orchestra... Disadvantages: Afterall Old is gold Rafi Resurrected is an 18 song musical feast that brings for the first time a symphonic interpretation of Indian film music. One can only go into raptures while talking about a legendary singer like Mohammad Rafi...One of the Greatest Indian playback singers ever. He brought hundreds of melodies to life and to this day there has been no other singer who could come anywhere near him, let alone surpass him..In real life Mohammad Rafi was a simple, ... ...nearly 28 years since Mohammad Rafi passed away ,but, he continues to mesmerize music lovers through his vast legacy of melodious songs..

The rumbling drums of Japan Advantages: Variety of style, detailed booklet Disadvantages: I cannot think of any ...you are not familiar with Japanese Taiko drums, this is the best place to start. Wadaiko Matsuriza manage to create a very intertaining style of folklore, mostly upbeat. This CD was released in 2002. Wadaiko Matsuriza have been touring since 1996. The group uses 3 distinct instruments: The Taiko drum, the Tsugaru Shamisen (the Japanese Banjo - not to be mistaken for the Koto instrument) and also the Horagai, the latter being a conch-shell trumpet. ... ...discover a different type of Japanese music, then I recommend the album called Lullaby for the Moon by various artists (much more than a simple compilation, it is the very best of Japanese music in my opinion). I shall conclude by saying that Wadaiko Matsuriza is a little gem of folklore. It is a unique CD and should be considered a masterpiece by world music lovers. * (Written by myself - no violation, no lifting, no breach of copyright) ... gantzgraf 12.08.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Japanese Drums - Wa Dai Ko Matsuriza	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

'JOANNA...A Hymn of Devotion Advantages: incredibly underrated music very well produced and presented Disadvantages: none ...Devotion’ James Young's Joanna was made on the battered upright piano in his house - an instrument most pianists would reject without a moment's hesitation. Bad pianos - in pubs, bars, clubs, cafes and the parental home - are the bane of musicians and music teachers: the sustain pedal doesn't work; the felts are worn; mezzopiano is indistinguishable from fortissimo. And that's before you get on to the problem of keeping it in tune. Players develop ... ...wisdom on its head. Joanna is a hymn of devotion that both dignifies and delights in his old piano's imperfections. As Billy Jenkins wrote in Notes on Crap Pianos: "Years of warp and deterioration have ripened each mechanical artefact into its own unique sound. Do not attempt music scored for a good piano." Young describes his piano as "a ready-made that needed to be celebrated for its intrinsic peculiarities". There are antecedents: Virginia Astley's ...
