Free Music Notes for When Love Speaks AlbumFree Music Review: Excellent readings, but the songs lack a bit.
Hit: 4 Stars
I found that, while the album did lag a bit towards the end, most of the readings were both lovely and passionate. A good tribute to Shakespeare's sonnets.
However, I couldn't help but find that the vast majority of the songs were simply not that well done. The only one's that stood out to me as exceptional were John Potter's and Bryan Ferry's pieces, which were much better performed than any of the others. The artists on the other songs simply seemed to be tripping all over themselves, and the delicate pace and rhythm of the sonnets were lost. Even Rufus Wainwright, whom everyone else seems to love on this album, didn't really impress me with his creativity. I would have much preferred if Michael Kamen had simply done *all* the music as short instrumental pieces.
However, I wouldn't hesitate for an instant to buy this album again. The music, while a little bit of a distraction, is easily pushed aside for the beauty of the spoken sonnets.
