Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Old American Songs Fantastic compilation of Old American Songs! This album was recorded about a decade ago, today - Nathan Gunn is a well known and respected opera singer, a title he truly deserves. You might check out his other album - John Adams: Shaker Loops; The Wound-Dresser; Short Ride in a Fast Machine Rating: - THE BEST AMERICAN ART SONG COLLECTION AROUNDIf American's could appreciate their art songs the way the German's, the French and the English appreciate their classical art songs, Nathan Gunn would be in the same league as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

LOVELY, LOVELY album. Rating:  - pleasant singing by a gifted baritoneThere'd be 5 stars if I liked all of the songs, but I don't. (You might.) I have a problem with some American song writing: it seems to me (perhaps wrongly) that too often songs sound alike in the sense that they seek to hang onto the musical coattails of, say, Ives or Copland. Others sound to me as cousins of "Oklahoma" or "Carousel". Despite my carping, I did enjoy this CD, in large part because Gunn knew just how to get into the mood of each song. Besides this, he has a rich, robuist ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
