The serious approach in these performances of utter trivia--titles such as "I won her heart at billiards" and "Won't you come over and play croquet"--lend them an absurdity that their creators wouldn't have envisaged. When Sir Spencer Ponsonby-Fane penned his carol to "the joys of the gay cricket ground, with some jolly good fellows to share it," he presumably had no sense of how changing times would amplify his meaning. Likewise with the composer of the "Eton Boating Song", who wrote "Swing, swing together with your backs between your knees". All of which makes this disc a complete joy, done as it is with po-faced eloquence, restraint and delicacy. Tenor Ian Partridge a...

Artist:
Anne Dudley
Anne Dudley is an enigmatic figure. She's a founding member of the British dance group the Art of Noise, a noted film composer with an Academy Award for The Full Monty soundtrack, and she's a classically trained keyboardist. In recent months, Anne Dudley has released a new Art of Noise CD, The Seduction of Claude Debussy, that adds dance beats to the classical French composer's melodies, and she has a solo album, Ancient & Modern, on which she rearranges carols, hymns, and fugues for orchestra. Ancient & Modern lives up to its title. She takes the Bach preludes "Coventry Carol" and Tallis's "Canon" and arranges them for orchestra and a cho...

Artist:
Patrick Stewart
If the sign of a classic is that it endures, having relevance for each new generation, then the continuing popularity of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol must mark it as a true masterpiece. With a top cast of British actors, and lavishly applauded performance by Patrick Stewart as Scrooge, this Hallmark television version carries a decidedly Gothic chill. Maintaining the high quality approach, director David Jones (whose 84 Charing Cross Road featured an excellent score by George Fenton) lured Oscar-winning Shakespeare In Love composer Stephen Warbeck back to the small screen. Warbeck previously scored films as diverse as Mrs. Brown, Fanny ...
