Free Music Notes for Myth of Red
Free Music Review: A Goddess' Voice!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Sasha Lazard made her first mark on me when I borrowed her CD from a library a couple of years ago. I was amazed by what I heard and wanted to hear so much more! I couldn't borrow it from the library again, and it was hard to order all of her cds from local distributors. Because of limitations, it was a purchase that was forced to wait.
It remained in my mind until this year, and I was lucky she had released 3 more cds! (two of which were on cdbaby, who I am equally satisfied with) I am constantly amazed at the force and integrity of her vocal prowess, though nothing has come close yet to my first impression, the Myth of Red.
The Battle of Erishkigal was a passionate performance, I constantly imagine a scenario when listening to it. Armies clashing on a giant field. So vivid is the sound that it feels like every sound creates an image in my mind. Not many people can effect imagination like that with just their voice.
I am more than pleased, and I show everyone Sasha Lazard's music.
Myth of Red Poster
In the never-ending move to cross novel musical idioms, The Myth of Red has an air of inevitability about it. An ambitious fusion of opera arias, Russian folk tunes, and art songs with beat-driven electronic soundscapes, the album largely succeeds in bridging incongruous musical worlds. A gifted classically trained vocalist, fetching soprano Sasha Lazard lends her talents to 13 tracks inspired by or based on Rachmaninoff, Verdi, Saint-Sa?ns, "Ave Maria," and "The Incubus" by the notorious poet Charles Baudelaire. Nimbly aided by the production, programming, and keyboards of Frank Fitzpatrick and David Tobocman, the lovely violin of Lili Hayden, and production ringers DJ Spooky and Delerium, Lazard delivers a smooth, classy, and fairly sedate collection that will appeal more to adventurous classical and world-music fans than hard-core electronic aficionados. The Myth of Red succeeds most when it picks up the pace on tracks like "Forbidden Dance," "Awakening," and the slyly funky "Temptation." Not surprisingly, two of the best tracks are DJ Spooky's galloping "Battle of Erishkigal" and a remix of "Awakening" by the incomparable Delerium, an act whose depth of feeling and mystery Lazard and her crew seem to strive for but don't quite achieve. Fusing several centuries of music is no small task, but Sasha Lazard actually makes it seem natural, which is a testament to her talent, training, and choice of company. --Carl HanniPop Music CDs
