Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Renée Fleming and Jean-Yves Thibaudet make the kind of dream team that could sell almost any programme in almost any venue, and not just because they each rank in the first division of their fields of voice and piano. They enjoy a real relationship as artists that has grown over the years through their involvement with the two Spoleto Festivals of Italy and America. And it positively shines through this CD, which glows with the sheer joy of shared musicianship and fellow-feeling. Most of the songs are standard repertory--by Fauré, Debussy, Strauss and Rachmaninov--but with some fascinating unfamiliar items from a late romantic figure poised for rediscovery, Joseph Marx. And although Fleming doesn't always read them with the depth or intensity of the very greatest recital singers who sacrifice beauty for truth, the beauty of the voice here is far more than pretty packaging. It serves the text imaginatively and exquisitely. And Thibaudet, although a brazenly flamboyant personality on stage, makes a committed and supportive partner when you hear rather than see him: more than an accompanist but not competitive--in fact, a perfect partner. The result is the most pleasurable disc I've heard in months. --Michael White

CD Description
The third album from EPMD, BUSINESS AS USUAL, is the duo's most aptly titled album ever. In 1991, when the album was originally released, EPMD was making a solid claim at becomingone of hip-hop's greatest acts. After two straight gold albums and an ever-growing fan base, BUSINESS AS USUAL could not have been released with better timing. Hard-core tracks such as "I'm Mad", "Gold Digger", and "Manslaughter" firmly entrenched EPMD at the top of the hip-hop food chain. By this time, EPMD had won over its fans by delivering over and overagain the typical trunk-funk tracks that they had come to expect. Vocally, the green-eyed bandit and PMD are both on point as usual. The killer cut "Rampage" has a guest appearance from LL Cool J. BUSINESS AS USUAL is just that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music rather than song., 2 Feb 2002
By A Customer
A delightful recording. Beautiful Pianism and gorgeous singing.
There is a debate where this record is concerned, as to the appropriateness of some of Fleming's singing. Personally I like it. Fleming does sometimes sacrifice consonants for tone quality, but I often find with art songs in foreign languages, I don't understand the words anyway, and so look for performances that are more music than song focussed. This record fits the bill. The performances are so expressive you don't need to know all the words to understand what the songs are about. Therefore I give this five stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it for the one good set., 27 Dec 2001
By A Customer
The latest in Fleming's discography is a big disappointment. She sings these arts songs the same way she sings opera arias - complete with swooping, scooping, and crooning. This is especially revolting in the Faure set. I do give the disc 2 stars for the set of songs by Marx, a composer who is unfortunately under-recorded.
