Bizet: Les Pêcheurs De Perles.......2004-02-03

Advice for the San Diego gentleman: listen to the recording first before sending in your comments. It's laughable to blindly defend Nicolai Gedda's singing in Nadir's role without even listening to the recording!

While I gave this recording five stars for its glorious sound and very good performance from all stars including Mr. Nicolai Gedda, he does indeed sound a bit strained in the romance "Je crois encore entendre". This is not surprising since Bizet wrote this passage in extremely high notes!

I highly recommend this recording to all Bizet fans.

My review.......2003-02-17

Nicolai Gedda is my favorite tenor in the non-Italian repertory. He excelled in French, German, and operetta roles, both French and Viennese. Even though I have not listened to this recording yet, I am sure that he does a good job in this recording of Bizet's second most popular opera after the ubiquitous "Carmen". He was a great Don José, the best non-French one who ever recorded the role (no offense to Corelli, Domingo, and Vickers). It is fair to assume that he does a good job with the demanding role of Nadir. To say that he sometimes sounds a bit strained in this role is blasphemous. He excelled in roles that had high tessituras. He had great success in "Le Postillon de Lonjumeau", "Oberon", and "Benvenuto Cellini". This recording was made in October 1960. Gedda was only at the beginning of his glorious prime. Do not believe the person who said he sounds strained in this role. He is biased against Gedda, who happens to be one of his fellow countrymen. Gedda also was very committed dramatically to each and every role that he sung. To say that he sings Nadir's aria without any emotions is false exaggeration in the greatest sense. Gedda was a superb interpreter of French roles and it can be assumed, on my part that is, that he gives an above-average performance in this opera. Remember, I have not listened to this recording yet.

middle of the road performance.......2001-11-06

This is a perfect example of studio recordings with opera stars that ought to be very good, but somehow fails. There is nothing obviously 'wrong' with this recording, but it surely doesn't engage either.

The voices are generally good - Gedda's Nadir is smooth and beautiful, idiomatic in style, if sometimes a little strained under pressure - and that's not strange - Nadir's writing is very high. The romance 'je crois entendre encore' is however a wonder of precision and smoothness, technically perfect indeed, but it's rather hard to imagine that he sings a romance when there's no trace of feelings there. Janine Micheau on the other side is as always rather dry in tone, but perfectly french in style, and her vibrato is not as wide as it sometimes could be - and her performance is, I think, the most 'felt' of the three main roles. Ernest Blanc as Zurga is also rather unengaged, although with a firm and effective voice. The conducting is also rather uninspired, and perhaps that's the main problem, cause an uninspired conductor can damage a whole performance.

There are at least three better recordings according to my taste, and one of them stand clearly ahead of the other: the live recording from 1959 with Vanzo/Micheau/Baquier and Rosenthal as conductor, available here on Amazon.com. A typically french performance with all the positive effects of a live recording captured in good sound and hardly none of the negative ones, combined with wonderful singers in their prime. Vanzo, as Nadir, is alone worth the purchase (it's also budget priced!). Thereafter I think the two mono recordings from Philips (Simoneau/Alarie/Bianco/Fournet) and EMI (Legay/Angelici/Dens/Cluytens) are good. There are studio recording with more modern sound, but they all let you down in one way or the other - you might as well go for this one in comparission to them.

Compared to other more modern stereo versions, this one has the great advantage of giving us highlights from the very rare Bizet opera 'Ivan IV' with an other conductor and different cast. For the real Bizet fans this alone might be worth the purchase, but if you just want a good version of this lovely opera, go for one of the three I've mentioned above.

Opera to love.......2000-04-19

Bizet wrote some of the most beautiful melodies in classical music, and this opera abounds with some of his best. Filled with breathtaking arias, the exotic setting of Ceylon and glorious poetry, The Pearl Fishers is more lush and visceral than Carmen. James Michener's The Drifters was my introduction to this opera; in the Winona Ryder version of Little Women, Gabriel Byrne as Professor Baehr takes Jo to a production of Les Pecheurs de Perles. This is a wonderful recording of a very accessible piece of music.

Wonderful piece of work.......1998-12-07

This wonderful piece of work by Bizet is not as popular as Carmen, and this is a pity, for the melodies and voice registers used by the composers are really talking to the soul. This version, although not recent, is the best I know by the quality of performers and sound recording. Definitely worth buying.

The fourth album by Swedish darkwave act Raison d'Être opens with sounds of bubbling water, followed by a frightening cavernous rumble that trails off into calming Gregorian chant. It's a series of events that proves emblematic of the disc as a whole: a marriage of sounds both ugly and beautiful, as if to prove that the concepts exist only in relation to each other. Sweeping, epic keyboard washes, tranquil medieval voices, but always the distant rumbling, the unsettling dark ambiance, the sense that all is not well in this cold, dimly lit dungeon Raison d'Être have constructed. It's a fine return to form for the band, whose debut, 1993's Prospectus I, saw them embark on this strange journey but whose previous album, Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations, leaned a bit too far into the realm of industrial noise for many fans. --Steve Landau

Ambient noise at its finest.......2004-09-26

I find harsh ambient noise to be one of the most rewarding genres of music to listen to, for nothing more than the sheer disturbing and emotional atmospheres it produces without having any lyrics to destroy the imagery. I would say Raison d'Etre is somewhere between the harsh, relentless nightmare of Nothing and the calm yet haunting aura of the latest Burzum release. Most of it has very little musical legitimacy, but this makes it all the more intriguing. The soundscapes are highly psychological; Peter knew exactly how to draw the listener's attention in with haunting pieces of noisescape and music that create a very murky, cold, dismal feeling within the listener. It is obviously not for casual listeners, but anyone with a true appreciation of auditory art needs to have this in his/her collection.

While on the subject of harsh ambient noise, I should recommend a product which I have not found on Amazon, namely Nothing's "Nondescript." I have not heard this act's other works, but this album is phenomenal. If anyone follows the brilliant-beyond-words atmospheric metal band Agalloch, they will know the name Jason William Walton, who is the main force behind Nothing (Haughm is also part of it). A little more musical than Raison d'Etre, but the same atmosphere. I recommend that album if you liked Raison d'Etre (there are copies floating around eBay all the time). If you haven't heard Raison d'Etre yet, what are you waiting for?

Ambience.......2004-04-10

Raison D'etre is the work of prolific composer, Peter Andersson, and rates among the most important acts on the Swedish-based, dark-ambient label - Cold Meat Industry. Among Andersson's many monikers, Raison D'etre incorporates a flexible balance between the serenely meditative states, evoked in such works of his as Necrophorus, and the cold, unrelenting industrial sounds of something like Bocksholm.
With Raison D'etre, Andersson achieves an elegant blend of beauty and ugliness, a tepid territory between light and darkness. The music - I wonder if this is the right word for it? - is intensely visual: each composition unfolds its own microcosm of sound and moreover, this is prone to take on differing qualia depending upon the characteristics of the individual listener.
The acoustic journey of Raison D'etre's `In Sadness, Silence and Solitude' begins with an ominous, almost subterranean rumble. Then the sound of burbling rain as the roar intensifies, followed by the sweep of a forlorn wind; the crescendo plateaus, spills over into an intermittent silence and then begins to reverberate again, placidly. Gregorian chants rise out of the murky depths like little peals of light. This is how the album begins, with the first composition, Reflecting in Shadows. The sound here has the amazing ability to conjecture in the mind, a sense of spatiality: the impression is of ancient monasteries with moss covered floors, dusty frescoes and giant oak trees that have grown within the walls.
Thundering percussions pound the way near the end of the first nine-minute track into a peaceful lacuna of silence and then the melodious undulations of, In Absence of Light, spin you into a cocoon of sound and take your mental on a cruise through empty streets of some obscure European town that is made almost liquid by the interplay of shadow and cold sunlight and where squared, ivy-covered houses intercept the angles. Delicious sunsets are reflected in orange puddles of the cobbled roads.
Well of Sadness is perhaps the audio equivalent of being squeezed into a tiny blood corpuscule and traversing through a darkened heart tunnel. The speeds of moving through this passage are phenomenal and then you emerge onto the other side that is really a narrow alleyway creeping toward a beach that you can just barely see, but where you can hear the splash and froth of nocturnal waves.
Deep Enshrouded is having a funeral shroud placed on your eyes and catching glimpses through it, of an afterlife. At first it's like being rocked gently at the bottom of the sea, but then a wave of sound transports you through enormous triangular buildings with tall, alabaster ceilings that you can never reach.
The melancholy wailings of Falling Twilight are some of the most beautiful sounds on the album, ripe and plump like raindrops collected on a windowsill or a bird's eye view of a multitude umbrellas passing on to the closing day's burial; Passing Inner Shield closes out `In Sadness, Silence and Solitude', giving the fleeting impression of drowning and having your eyes sealed shut by drops of honey.

In order to gauge the optimal experience, the record should be enjoyed in solitude and with a pair of headphones.

Can't beleive I enjoy it so much........2003-04-19

This is what music should be. Never have I heard anything so dark, erie, bone-chilling, and atmospheric. Some might say it's "barely music" but I think it's more than music. The way it makes you feel and the ideas that might pop up in your head makes it more than just music.

This CD is extremely gloomy and chilling, sometimes frightening. It is not meant to startle you, there are no sudden loud unpredictable noises or anything, but if you're in the right mood for a good listen, it could freak you out a little. For instance, the first time I listened to it, it was a windy, stormy night with heavy rain and thunder and lightinging. The CD starts out with a sound that could be interpreted as wind, and I couldn't tell if it was the CD or not. Actually, a thunderstorm isn't the best time to listen to this cd, as it's very calm and erie instead of powerful and mighty like a storm. A better place to listen might be beneath a well with dead bodies in it, (I'm thinking of the movie, "The Ring," but...) or a huge abandoned old church or ancient castle with many dark corridors with torches lighting them and stained glass windows and paintings that seem scary no matter what is on them. It would make an absolutely great soundtrack to a suspenseful, terrifying movie.

Theer is also some very faint, ghostly, angelic, ethereal, soft singing and mostly chanting, glossed with layers of echo which makes for a perfect effect for the music and is very fitting. That's what makes me think of an abandoned church or any kind of ancient buildings. When these vocals are put right next to, or right on top of low, menacing rumbles, it creates some sort of apocalyptic feeling... calm, yet deadly, like the world is ending, but there's nothing you can do about it so you might as well relax and sing.

"In Absence of Light" has some very perfectly fitting drumming with dark, half chanted, half synthesized ambient sound I cannot describe. I'm always better at describing what it makes me picture, and that is going back to ancient Egypt and exploring a dark tomb with just a torch, looking for the great riches. Suspence everywhere because if you get caught, you will be put to death, or you might get lost, or you might get trapped or attacked by other animals down there. "The Well of Sadness" also has some really moving ambient melodies.

"Deep Enshrouded" sounds like you're in some sort of dungeon or underground area, or some kind of islands and you know danger is approaching. The subtle sound effects. they sound a little like machinary, but not really... I don't like the term "Industrial" to describe this music. The chanting and ambient melodies make it seem like you found some sort of treasure or some sort of way out... they have a slightly positive feeling.

"Falling Twilight" sounds like the ancient tomb again, but in a much different way... actually sounds like the music to some ancient civilization educational video, but music for that would never possibly be this good. This song is a bit repetitive but that's an element that creates atmospheric music.

The last song, "Passing Inner Shield" is 13 minutes long and somewhere in the middle, it abrubtly starts with a very haunting high-pitched piano and harpsichord loop with that cool african style drumming again. The rest of it is a huge, bleak, monochromatic soundscape.

This band is an awesome discovery of mine and hopefully will continue to be as I try to find more of their albums. If you like anything even slightly dark/atmospheric/artistic/creative you'll definately love this!

Dark, kinda spooky ... very satisfying.......2002-10-29

raison d'etre is Sweden's Peter Andersson, who composes beautifully dark music for this release. Wind, bubbling sounds, sudden noises, chimes, chanting, choruses, strings, and occasionally rhythms create an ambience that is terribly dark but beautiful at the same time.

Dark, kinda spooky ... very satisfying.......2002-10-29

The low rumblings will shake your room, and the sudden jarring bangs and clangs might make you jump in your seat. There's an ominent spookiness throughout, but not threatening. The 6 tracks flow almost seamlessly from one to the next, but are different enough to keep the listener's interest. It's probably not my favorite RD release, but still makes a great listen.

Dream's essence... a reason for being.......2006-06-22

Cold Meat Industry is a small independent music label in Sweden that solely concentrates on dark ambient, industrial and gothic dark wave. Think of the shadowside of Biosphere, Hazard and especially Lustmord and you'll get an idea.

CMI isn't afraid to experiment with very small but highly original acts like Gothica, Coph Nia, Desiderii Marginis and Atrium Carceri, but their main two artists are Arcana (the Swedish Arcana, not the other band with the same name) and Raison d'Etre.
These two pilars rise above all other CMI outputs and have build over the years a solide and powerfull body of work.
Arcana is worth mentioning for their first and most praised album "Dark age of reason" and later efforts like "Cantar de procella" and "Inner pale sun". Their latest album, "Le serpent rouge" is a strong deviation from their common sound and show more exotic percussions, in my opinion interesting but not quite the "real" Arcana.

But for now Raison d'Etre: Mr. Peter Andersson's solo act. From his first cd "Prospectus I" to "In sadness, silience and solitude" and "Enthraled by the winds of loneliness" his music touches the very voids of loneliness and dispair. But not without (literal samples of) fresh winds and gently flowing water.
Lyrical and etherical and yet with some solide grounds, Andersson clearly doesn't go for the cheap and obvious "new age sounds". Andersson is too much of an artist and at the same time someone with an chronic inner drive to express his moments of sadness and feelings of loss and alienation through his art.

Having said this, I don't want to suggest that Andersson merely uses his music as personal medicine, it's more of a catharsis which, because he is so gifted, he is able to share with the listener and offer his audience the same illumination.

Some of the more recent Raison d'Etre projects, which, I have to admit, are more among my favorites, are even more heavy set and dark and with less melody and moments of enlightenment. They are more "mental abyss oriëntated", they could be the modern day soundtracks of "madness movies" like Roman Polanski's "Repulsion", "Begotten", "Clean, shaven" or "Mulholland Dr."
Alas, most of these Raison d`Etre albums are not to be found on amazon.com. which I think is a shame. Check out the CMI website at coldmeat.se. for more information.

Worth mentioning are "The empty hollow unfolds" and "Requiem for abandoned souls". If you want to start somewhere, and you are in for the darkest possible music, start here. If you want to begin a little more at ease, I recommend "Reflections from the time of opening" or, in this case, "Within the depths of silence and phormations".
This last album is the perfect bridge between the light side and the dark side. A little more industrial oriëntated perhaps but mesmerising and beautiful in an awkward sort of way.

Slow drums and a slightly deranged choir set the tone in the opening track. Then something of a harpsichord enters. Tracks with meaningful titles like "Ascent of the blessed", "Fall of the damned" and "Inner depths of sadness" follow.
There is a terrific tension-build-up that never lets go. You're sucked into the musical maelstrom and by the sixth track, when voices are starting to speak and confess an unseen murder, you're caught and the only thing you can do is go with the flow and see where you'll end.

And where do you end? On the bottom of a seemingly bottomless abyss? Over the last edge? Lost in an eternal swamp? No, Peter Andersson's music is too multi-layered and complex for that.
You end up with yourself in the room you were sitting in and you're still alive. Yet something has changed, something unmentionable. Did you say you're feeling a little bit better than before?
It is you that has changed. Fiction or reality? Well, like I told you already, Peter Andersson is way too much an artist for not at least trying to.

WARNING>>THIS NOT THE DARK AMBIENT ARTIST < .......2006-04-04

I should have looked into this one a little more before buying it. I really don't know who this female folk band is, but it was not what I was expecting. I think Broadman Babies and Christmas Belles are also albums from this folk band and are not the dark ambient artist Raison D'Etre, so watch out.
