Devil's Music

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
REVIEW
Various Artists, The Devil's Music (Naxos, two discs). Let's grant that it was tacky for Naxos to release this two-disc anthology of classical music with Satan's Touch without identifying the musicians involved more explicitly (you have to try to read disc covers in miniature) but the general plan and execution are so much fun that you can almost forgive them. In a collection of music that features everything from Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D-Minor" (in Gothic Stokowski adaptation) to Gyorgi Ligeti's "L'Escalier Du Diable" with all the favorites you expect (Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre," Liszt's "Mephisto Waltz") and a lot you don't (diabolic musical imaginings by Vaughan Williams, for instance, and Johann Strauss, not to mention a "Mephisto Waltz" by Prokofiev). The conceit here is that the devil wrote the disc notes, too. "Music from the Dark Side" indeed. ★★★ (J. S.) -- The Buffalo News, Jeff Simon, October 11, 2009
