 Une bonne idée de la musique folklorique australienne
Submitted on: 2005-06-16 |
|
| Lorsque j'ai commandé ce disque, je n'avais qu'une très vague idée de la musique folklorique australienne. En écoutant ce CD, j'ai remarqué que cette musique ressemblait beaucoup à la musique folklorique irlandaise, surtout avec l'accent de certains chanteurs. J'ai bien aimé ce disque et il vous donne une bonne idée de la musique folklorique australienne. |

 Waltzing Matilda: Songs from Australia
Submitted on: 2004-11-11 |
|
| A fantastic album that paints a wonderful picture of Australia's history in song. Provides the opportunity for the listener to 'take a trip back in time' and imagine what Australia was like at the turn of the century. The album also features poems from some of Australia's most famous poets, such as Banjo Paterson, in song. A wonderful musical experience, filled with the depth and character of Australia. |

| Loving anything Australian as I do, this CD was a huge disappointment. The songs I'm sure would be good if done by other artists. Reminds me of having Pavaroti sing songs of Hank Williams! The artists had too much of a stuffy air about them for the music they were singing. The songs are more folky and the singers sound more "opera-etic". |

 Waltzing Matilda- Songs of the Austrailia
Submitted on: 2000-02-27 |
|
| From a historical perspective, this collection of recordings of Australian folk music is worthwhile. However the technical quality of the recordings themselves is easily the poorest I have ever heard in my life. My father's collection of old 78's truthfully has better sound. Unfortunately, nowhere in the liner notes or on the CD itself does it give any clue as to when the recordings were made. The only explanation I can think of is that the recording engineer got blown up in the Battle of Gallipoli (1915) with his wax cylinders by his side. The piecing together of the "records" is what we have today in this CD. |
