Editorial Reviews
Metro Santa Cruz, December 6, 2000
Bradlyn's earthy vocals bring listeners straight into the heart of his powerful storytelling. These tunes are definitely keepers.
Product Description
Progressive acoustic folk from a veteran singer/songwriter. Securely rooted in the urban folk tradition of the 1960s, Mark J. Bradlyn's second independent CD release is a striking painterly collection of original songs written over the past 25 years. Recorded mostly live in the studio by audio engineer Tim Prince, the songs on "Lighthouse Keeper" present themselves with a startling immediacy and warmth. From intimate love songs to country-swing, funky folk-blues, and beyond, Bradlyn's inimitable vocal chops and solid finger-style guitar work shine through, supported by a sterling back-up band including prize-winning fiddler Dennis English and folk legend Mary McCaslin.

Stanley Kubrick's demanding perfectionism in all aspects of the filmmaking process has led to some of the most memorable soundtracks of the modern era. Kubrick's taste for the classics led to his scrapping Alex North's original score for 2001: A Space Odyssey in lieu of the "temporary" tracks he had used for editing, turning Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra into an unlikely 20th-century pop icon. For his 1971 adaptation of Anthony Burgess's cautionary future-shocker, Kubrick once again turned to the classics. Malcolm McDowell's protagonist Droog Alex's taste for Beethoven is given a nice tweaking by Moog pioneer Walter (now Wendy) Carlos's synthesized take on the glorious Ninth Symphony. Some have complained that the now-primitive electronics involved give it a dated feel. Disturbingly--and effectively--other-worldly is more like it. Kubrick also imbues repertory standards by Rossini and Elgar with dark, frequently hilarious irony, and makes Gene Kelly's sunny reading of "Singin' In The Rain" the underscore to an all-too-accurate prediction of societal nightmares to come. --Jerry McCulley

This performance was recorded when Yevgeny Kissin was 16, several years before his U.S. debut. Kissin is a major pianist, but this may not be one of the essential items in his discography. The longest item on the disc is Prokofiev's Sonata No. 6, which Kissin plays extremely well but without the crushing power of Richter (preferably on Praga PR 250 015) or Kasman (Calliope CAL 9606). However, Kissin plays the rest of this recital, which consists of shorter pieces by Rachmaninov, Liszt, Chopin, and Scriabin, with the color, power and facility that marked him as a major pianist in the making. --Leslie Gerber
