Sanity Cd Stores
The husband and wife team of violinist Nancy Dahn and pianist Timothy Steeves have scored with their latest CD entitled It Takes Two. The CD features works by composers from Mozart to Richard Rodgers, with impressive arrangements by Canadian composer Clifford Crawley. The team acknowledges his talent and skill in the brochure that accompanies the CD, saying that it should have been titled “It Takes Three.”
The first piece is the ever-popular Tico Tico, composed by Brazilian Zequinha de Abreu in 1917. Excellent ensemble, and a nod to Steeves whose virtuosity never at any time takes away from the violinist, but rather enhances her work. In Lady Be Good, Dahn gives us a lovely violin introduction, which sets the mood for this Gershwin medley.
Saint-Saens' Samson and Delilah
My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice, from the opera Samson and Delilah, by Camille Saint-Saens, left me wishing for a richer and more lush violin tone. This aria is one that can take everything a soloist has to give in the line of drama and 'schmaltz,' which was lacking in this performance.
