Product Description

From Amazon.com

This 1982 sleeper captures Van Morrison banking the fires of his more urgent, R&B-flavored '70s classics to sculpt a quieter, contemplative synthesis laced with Celtic flourishes, minimalist synthesizers, and the skeletal horn charts of saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis and trumpeter-synthesist Mark Isham. Neither as expansive as the pastoral jazz meditations of the underrated Common One nor as limpid as the glossier, sometimes gloomier confessional pop that dominates his later-'80s albums, Beautiful Vision hews to ballads and loping, midtempo songs that allow Morrison gentle foils for his unmistakable vocal melismas. On its best tracks, "Dweller on the Threshold," "Cleaning Windows," "Vanlose Stairway," and "She Gives Me Religion," he alchemizes soul, gospel, and his own Irish roots in a balance he would often pursue from this point forward. --Sam Sutherland

4.0 out of 5 stars 聞き所多し, 2006/3/9
By matsuda76 - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
80年代のVan Morrisonは「孤高」「スピリチュアル」「壮大」という言葉がぴったり。本作もその作風であるけども録音場所が米西部であるということもあるのか、アメリカのソウルに憧れながらもケルトに想い馳せるVanを想像する事が出来る。
特に冒頭の「Celtic Ray」はケルトに傾いた音で88年の「Irish Heartbeat」でも取り上げられておりVanにとっての代表曲であると思われる。
またMark Knopflerのギターも聞き所だし、最後のインストも情緒があって聞き応えがある。
でもまぁ気楽に楽しめるアイリッシュソウルというイメージとは違うので熱心なVanファンでなければきついかも・・・
かく言う私も親しみやすさのある90年以降のVanが好き。80年代はいまいち取っつきにくいなぁ。ハードルが高すぎる。

5.0 out of 5 stars 余裕と哀愁感漂う名盤, 2005/10/23
このレビューの引用元: Beautiful Vision (CD)
 1982年リリースです。ヴァン・モリスンというとゼムや「茶色の目をした女の子」あたりをイメージされる方もおられると思いますが、本作は70年代後半あたりからの特徴であるスロー・テンポな曲で構成されており、デビューから70年代当初のようなストレートなロック・ナンバーはありません。
 しかし、それでもさすがと思わせるのは曲のクオリティもさることながら、彼の円熟味極まる歌声です。ほぼ全編に女性コーラスをフィーチャーしているのですが、それを従えて歌っているという感じで、孤高のアーティストとして歩んできた自信からにじみ出る余裕を感じます。
 哀愁漂う全10曲です。未聴の方にはお薦めの一枚です。
