Review Elgar: Enigma Variations / Universal Classics:

The Vienna Philharmonic under John Eliot Gardiner brings a sense of freshness of discovery to Elgar's noble music. This is partially because this is hardly regular repertoire for the orchestra, and also as Gardiner approaches the scores with a clear individuality of interpretation. Bringing these four works together makes for a satisfying 70 minutes of listening. In the South brings with it moments of almost unbearable delicacy and tenderness which nevertheless do not sound sentimental. A refreshing ardour and dark dramaticism also mark out this reading. Gardiner captures the individual sound worlds of the Introduction and Allegro and Sospiri to perfection. The tender nostalgia of the former and the warmth of the latter lead to an account of the Enigma Variations distinguished by real attention to detail (emphasised by DG's clear and well-balanced recording). Gardiner refuses to milk the music for all it is worth as some interpreters do, preferring to let it speak smoothly and naturally: because of that the performance emerges as all the more emotionally charged. The Vienna players seem to revel in Elgar's frequently beautiful scoring. This Enigma Variations is worthy to sit alongside the finest in the catalogue. [+]
Indeed, this disc is a triumph. -Colin Clarke.

Review Yared: The Talented Mr Ripley / Sony Classical:

Some soundtrack albums establish themselves as being a purposely designed souvenir from a simple read through of the tracks included. Matt Damon lends "vocals" to the first two songs, and then scattered between the score snippets are contributions from Sinead O'Connor ("Lullaby For Cain"), Charlie Parker ("Ko-Ko"), Miles Davis ("Nature Boy"), and Dizzy Gillespie ("The Champ"). Add in several more smoochy finger-snappers from Guy Barker and his International Quartet, and you have an album which is all about re-capturing the cinematic experience as opposed to encouraging it. Like The English Patient, in the gaps where director Minghella has allowed Yared to shine through, the results are suitably exotic and mysterious for Damon's (yikes!) crooning sociopath. "Ripley" serves as a suite for the principal thematic material. If it's this you are after, there is some wait being buried in the middle. But then that's the album's concept flaw-souvenirs are never likely to mean the same thing for any two people. -Paul Tonks.

Sophie Solomon's voice is her violin. Whether she's performing with the LSO or playing with her own band, her music is a thrilling combination of technique and passion that refuses to be confined by the conventional parameters of the instrument. Her unique musical vision reaches its full flowering on her self-composed Decca debut solo album Poison Sweet Madeira, an audacious mix of different styles and influences given purpose and unity by her extraordinary violin playing. Poison Sweet Madeira features guest appearances by Richard Hawley, KT Tunstall and Ralph Fiennes.
