Review Cecilia Bartoli: Gluck Italian Arias / Universal Classics:After the pan-global success of her disc of Vivaldi arias, mezzo Cecilia Bartoli is clearly a woman on a mission to rescue the neglected operatic output of otherwise well-known composers. Of the eight arias by Gluck on this disc, six have never been recorded before-and it's likely that the operas they have been taken from will be unknown to all but the most obsessive buffs. Unfortunately, even Bartoli can't quite make a case for all the material here: it sometimes lapses into the excessive passage-work and routine arpeggios which are especially obvious in the first track. But there's also plenty of Gluck at his most inspired, writing with acute sympathy for a woman going mad at the thought of her lover's impending execution (track 3) and screwing dramatic tension to almost Verdian levels with the words "estremi sospiri" (final breaths) in an aria from La clemenza di Tito (track 7). Bartoli is as amazing as ever, blending her trademark intensity and almost unbearably gorgeous lyricism into an explosive mix of vocal fabulousness. She is accompanied with period vigour by the Akademie für Alte Musik. -Warwick Thompson.

Review The Best of Ray Charles: the Atlantic Years / Ray Charles:By the time Ray Charles left Atlantic Records in 1959, he had evolved from an adept follower of Nat Cole and Charles Brown to a leader who'd transformed American music. Best of Ray Charles: The Atlantic Years chronicles his leap from cocktail blues to the edgy, gospel-tinged music that became known as soul. Anyone who doesn't understand why he's called the Genius should hear this. -Rickey Wright.
