...1840s and '50s, it focuses on the lives of Kristina (powerfully sung here, as on the original album and on the Stockholm stage, by Helen Sjoholm) and her husband Karl-Oskar (Russell Watson, the Salford factory worker known in England as "the people's tenor"). Nearly starved by crop failures in their native Smaland, Karl-Oskar and his brother Robert (Kevin Oderkirk, who earned vigorous shouts with each of his numbers) resolve to leave the land their ancestors have farmed for a thousand years and go to America. Despite Kristina's severe reservations, that's what they do, accompanied...

...reefer he so loose / He’s five foot seven / A legend was born / Russel Ason Jones / I know him for his braids and lessons,” raps Kwon almost breathlessly over J. Dilla’s soulful beat.More often, though, Raekwon’s smooth tenor creates a sensational contrast to his narrative persona; Chef Raekwon derives the first part of his name for his skills in cooking crack, and his raps are generally vignettes portraying the ultra-violence of the streets and the drug trade. “Fat Lady Sings,” for example...
