Editorial Product Review: :Too often, critics dismiss hymns as merely functional, utilitarian relics--musically lacking in artistic sophistication. But the long history of the Christian church and the enduring nature of its traditional music--the contributions to the hymn repertoire by esteemed composers, and the frequent placement of hymns at moments of prodigious significance--deny such uninformed attitudes. Indeed, the greatest hymns successfully serve their functional purpose while, through masterful marriage of music and text, lifting spirits to somewhere beyond place and moment. This fine recording from Philadelphia's Saint Clement's Choir offers an outstanding program of familiar hymns ...

Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Les Noces is a screaming, shrieking, flat-out masterpiece. Leonard Bernstein himself has referred to it as Stravinsky's greatest work, and listening to this incendiary performance, it's awfully hard to disagree. Scored for voices, four pianos, and percussion, the work provided the inspiration for the entire career of Orff (of Carmina Burana fame), but it's so much better as sheer music than anything Orff wrote. And what a cast! The pianists for this performance include Martha Argerich, Krystian Zimerman, Cyprien Katsaris, and Homero Francesch, four certified virtuoso performers, while the singers ...

This raw work-flow application isn't the Holy Grail many hoped it would be, but Apple Aperture 1.5 could make life easier for photographers who need to cull, retouch, and output large numbers of photographs quickly and efficiently.
