2008-06-01 20:00:00 by Mark Alburger in 21ST-CENTURY MUSIC
...hauntingly mystical opening scene when Gandhi reflects on a battle between two royal families depicted in the Bhagavad-Gita, Mr. Croft, in his plaintive voice, sang the closest the score comes to a wistful folk song while undulant riffs wound through the lower strings. That the impressive young conductor Dante Anzolini, in his Met debut, kept...

2008-08-04 01:11:00 by Elrik Merlin in Radio Riel
...hauntingly beautiful pieces Also hauntingly beautiful in rather a different way is the Glass Harmonica or Armonica, a mechanical development of a collection of wine-glasses played by the finger. In the most common arrangement (probably invented by Benjamin Franklin), a range of 37 or so glass bowls are mounted horizontally on a...

Take the A train to Beach 116th St., the bar is 4 blocks from the subway at 112th St Also Sat Aug 16, 7 PM smartly literate, funny, accordion-driven somewhat oldtimey...

Grouper - Dragging A Dead Dear Up A Hill (2008)

2008-09-18 14:20:46 by Editor in Music Emissions Alternative Music Reviews
 
...hauntingly elegiac voice, singing like a choir over heavily stricken piano notes. Harmonizing with the piano's trembling strikes, Harris' voice is lucid and beautiful, contrasting to the layers of slowly resonating distortion, which ultimately overpowers and swallows her voice. "Disengaged" is a perfect example of the production of Dragging ;...

2007-12-20 21:47:57 by Mike Mineo in Obscure Sound - Indie Music Blog
...hauntingly infectious track that cleverly highlights the preposterous visions of materialism, while Top Ranking is a key-led charmer enhanced by sampled droplets and reflective guitar progressions. Being just a few of the wildly enjoyable tracks on the album, the incorporation of a vocoder in the graceful Heroine is also effective, putting a...

Review of Turn of the Screw

2007-12-03 12:06:53 by HASH0x896f4ac in Planet Hugill - Classical Music blog from Robert Hugill
 
...hauntingly lit by Adam Silverman's lighting scheme The stage is populated by odd items of Victorian furniture (beds, a piano, etc.) which are moved about by the servants. McVicar's Bly is a place full of people, servants coming and going. In a sense this only serves to highlight the Governess's isolation as the only person of her class in...

...hauntingly beautiful about it that just kept me coming back for more. Subtle, and helplessly sad. Ghostly harmonies and the intricate sounds of acoustic guitar. And the voice, so slight and evocative. A song that only should be heard after the night falls down. Based on this song only, she's like the female equivalent of Jose Gonzalez, a...

QUATERMASS - Quatermass (1970) [rated 5/5 by jonsilence]

2007-12-28 04:25:13 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...hauntingly beautiful and poetic moments, including some of the best orchestration I've ever heard on a rock album, courtesy of the brilliant Paul Buckmaster. All said, Quatermass is powerful musical statement; a strongly diverse and singular record that really has no peers. In multi- keyboardist Peter Robinson and bassist/vocalist John...

...hauntingly beautiful youll hear all year. Literally. Each one touches on some combination of ghosts, death, dark secrets, lost love, and non-accidental drowning. Berns is clearly inspired by the American Gothic short stories of Flannery OConnor, and it doesnt hurt that he hides his take on the traditional murder ballad behind songs that,...
