Reprise, 2001-11-20. Audio CD. Very Good/Very Good. 5x4x0. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. excellent condition CD in original jewel case with inserts; Producer, record executive, and songwriter David Foster has a long history of trying to wed commercial considerations to the lighter elements of pop music, and in young Josh Groban, whom he adopted as a protégé in late 1998 when the singer was 17, he is trying to get in on the classical crossover market effectively occupied by the likes of Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman, and Charlotte Church (who duets with Groban on "The Prayer" here). Groban has a rich voice that falls somewhere between a low tenor and a high baritone, and Foster has here crafted or commissioned music that will sound classical to the ears of non-classical fans, much of it with lyrics in Italian to complete the effect. "Gira con Me," for example, is a slow ballad that sounds like it may have escaped from a minor opera, but in fact was composed by Foster and songwriter/producer Walter Afanasieff (best-known for his work with Mariah Carey). Groban is also given some ballads in English, with songwriting credits that include such Southern California pop-meisters as Richard Marx, Albert Hammond, Carole Bayer Sager, and Foster's wife, Linda Thompson. The result is an ersatz classical crossover record that won't fool the experts but easily could find its way into households that welcome Celine Dion and other sub-operatic emoters of her ilk. Groban is certainly not to be blamed for taking his chances with Foster instead of staying in college or pursuing a classical career, and his first album is enjoyable even if it doesn't live up to its pretensions. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi, Reprise, 2001-11-20, 3, Visible Ink Pr.

A 17th-century French critic said this about opera: "A bizarre affair made up of poetry and music in which the poet and the musician, each equally obstructed by the other, give themselves no end of trouble to produce a wretched work." Rudolf Bing quipped more recently, "If theater is an insane asylum, opera is the ward for incurables." Always fascinating (if not peculiar), opera has become increasingly popular and mainstream in recent years. The history of opera and its world, in all its drama, passion, and pageantry, is explored in this really big, thoroughly mesmerizing, fully portable reference library. One hundred compelling, full-page photographs capture opera's drama. Covering the art from its beginnings to the present day, The St. James Opera Encyclopedia presents 500 in-depth entries on operas, composers, and performers. A boon for both novice and buff, it includes detailed composition and production information, critical analysis, plot and character overviews, biographical facts, and a comprehensive title index. Co-edited by John Guinn, legendary Detroit Free Press classical music critic, with contributions by a phalanx of noted experts. Media > Book, [PU: Gale Research]<
