... that the Italian Handel is here to stay! In fact, the young Saxon who took musical Rome by storm while still in his 20s seems to be elbowing the bluff and beefy London Handel aside, in terms of topnotch performances and five-star recordings. Georg Friederich Handel (1685-1759) spent only the years 1706-1710 in Italy, but he produced enough glorious music just in those years to rank among the greatest composers of the baroque. He knew the value of that music, by the way, and recycled much of it in his later operas and oratorios.

Back in 1990, three of the world's most celebrated tenors -- namely, Jos Carreras, Plcido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti--combined forces to create the Three Tenors, now celebrated on a best-of CD. They gave their first concert in Rome. The event was recorded and went on to become one of the best-selling classical titles of all time. This latest release brings together tracks from that night in Rome (including "Nessun dorma" and a competitive rendition of "O sole mio") with music performed in a 1994 concert in Los Angeles and at the 1998 event in Paris where the Three Tenors sang to an audience of thousands with the Eiffel Tower as their backdrop. -- Amazon

Ten-time Grammy Award winner/vocal innovator Bobby McFerrin surprises us yet again with VOCAbuLarieS, his first new release in eight years. Like his #1 worldwide hit song Don’t Worry Be Happy and his multi-platinum duo album Hush with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, VOCAbuLarieS is based on Bobby’s experiments with multi-track recording and his ceaseless exploration of the potential of the human voice. VOCAbuLarieS is Bobby McFerrin music for the 21st century. A collaboration with the composer/arranger/producer Roger Treece, VOCAbuLarieS features over fifty of the world’s finest singers, recorded one at a time and in small groups to create a virtual choir made up of over 1,400 vocal tracks. Constructed as meticulously as a Mozart symphony or a Steely Dan album, intricately synthesized from countless stylistic elements, VOCAbuLarieS may be unlike any album anyone has ever recorded. Yet the music is always accessible, joyous, and inviting. VOCAbuLarieS celebrates Bobby’s love of all musical genres, from classical to world music, R&B to gospel and beyond, building upon McFerrin’s past explorations and journeying into bold new territory.
