HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY REGINE CRESPIN.......2007-06-19

Decca has reissued the two-disc set "Prima Donna in Paris" to coincide with the Diva's 80th birthday February 23. Much as the complete reissue of the set is welcome to the catalog (previously Decca had a majority of the selections on this set on a single CD), it is not representative of the diva's best work.

These recordings were made during a transitional point in Madame Crespin's career. According to her autobiography she was rethinking and revising her repertoire (dramatic soprano to mezzo) while dealing with health and personal problems. It's no surprise that much of the singing finds her in less than her best voice. The Marguerite aria from Damnation of Faust pales in comparison with the earlier one she made for EMI (and Madame Crespin has admitted that the Decca engineers pieced this performance together from problematic individual takes). The operetta selections luckily are in a more sympathetic part of her voice and she sings them with style and humor. The selections from Carmen and Werther are still in the blueprint stage. She would later make a stronger mark on these roles when she fleshed them out in the theatre. The best of her "mature" singing career was yet to come, such as her success as Old Prioress in "Dialogues of the Carmelites", the title roles in "Pique Dame" and "The Medium".

Perhaps Decca will consider a two-CD retrospective set for her as they had for Sutherland, Horne, Lorengar, Resnik and Nilsson. The prime Decca recordings could be excerpted from recitals and complete operas. The selections would include the blue-ribbon Anserment-led Berlioz/Ravel set, the Poulenc songs and German lieder with Wustman, some of the excellent Italian opera arias from her first Decca aria recital, and selections from Walkure (Sieglinde) with Solti, Rosenkavalier (with Varviso from the out of print highlights disc rather than the complete Solti), and maybe even from the Karajan Walkure (Brunhilde). Get this one for the operetta selections alone.

Arleen Auger and Dalton Baldwin-Love Songs.......2007-01-29

A lovely collection -very varied. Arleen Auger has a beautiful voice and Baldwin's accompaniment is wonderful. The 3rd track, by Jayme Ovalle, is, as it says in the accompanying notes, bewitching, and is actually the reason I bought the CD.

Voice of experience.......2006-01-28

There isn't much I can add to the praise bestowed on this album by earlier reviewers. I do think though that a special poignancy is undeniable since Auger's voice, while still beautiful, clearly is not that of a young singer. Her maturity makes her interpretations of these love songs all the more touching. I've probably played this CD a dozen times through the years, far more than any other in my collection. It remains consistently and deeply satisfying.

Auger at her best.......2005-04-26

This is a disc that I recommend to my graduating seniors/graduate students who are pursuing a graduate degree or career options in Vocal Performance.
From the standpoint of technique, Auger is practically flawless---"harsh" is not a word I equate with Ms. Auger's singing. She and Dalton Baldwin are impeccable performers on this disc. All the material was wisely chosen and presented, including one of the slowest "O del mio amato ben's" and one of the slowest "Salley Gardens", indicative of the beautiful breath control this artist had. I have to take exception to one of the comments made by one reviewer, of the "lack of sesitivity to the music that most classical singers possess". This is plain ignorant. This reviewer clearly does not understand the great artistic endeavor that classical singers have to have with Song literature---only a non-singer could have said this. Our finest classical singers of memory have all been outstanding musicians. They also have texts to interpret in many languages. I, as a singer-performer-teacher take great umbrage at comments like this which serve only to degrade the richness of so much repertoire.
I too hated the untimely passing of this fabulous singer. She is one of four famous women singers who all died at the age of 53. I think this disc was recorded not to long before she passed away and does reflect her "goodbye" to her audience. However the disc will remain as timely as the repertoire in it.

Hidden Treasure.......2003-11-04

This recording is possibly one of the best examples of beautiful singing one will ever find. The repertoire, the artfulness, the line and the sheer beauty of Miss Auger's voice is a rare find. I've just recently purchased another copy as I loaned mine to a friend who begged to keep it! One note on the cover - this new cover art seems to imply this CD is some light version of 1970's Montovani romance music. Nothing could be further from the truth. Though the previous jacket (a photo of Miss Auger on pale pink) did look dated, I hope the next pressing of this (& I'm sure they'll be many more to come!) will give this collection the class packaging it deserves. This is a collector's item. Enjoy!!

Gorgeous, sensitive music.......2001-06-15

So first of all, ignore the cheesy cover art and album title. This is a beautiful collection of songs, beautifully performed. Since I concur with the other reviews that laud Auger's performance (though don't forget the accompanist Dalton Baldwin, who is also outstanding), I'll add only the comment that there is a certain melancholy surrounding a lot of the songs and performances that (a) I find haunting and appealing, and (b) you would never know simply from looking at the album.

Revises childhood memories.......2006-02-19

I became acquainted with the voice of JCT through two RCA Red-seal records my parents possessed. I particularly remember "Sailormen",
in which childish braveries as sea-goers drifts off into sleepiness, and "The Green-eyed Dragon", which I NOW recognize as a metaphor for jealousy, but whose substance scared the bej_s out of me at age 4 and older.

The remastering seems ideal. The content of the CD reflects what was popular on the recital stage in the '30s and '40s.

My wife has nearly worn out the CD (not possible of course, but a telling metaphor) in the three weeks we have owned it.

Needs digital restoration.......2005-07-19

John Charles Thomas had a wonderful voice. His memory would be better served with a digital restoration of this classic album.

Incomparable Performer.......2001-03-13

Across the years, I have fallen in love with this voice and this man. Whether he sings an operatic aria, a hymn, a folk song, or a popular tune, his rendition becomes definitive. Surely no other singer has ever made "Home on the Range" sound so splendid. And he was also one of the greatest Verdi singers, if these old recordings, with all their limitations, do not lie.

A Great voice.......2000-03-05

I loved this voice after first encounter with this Thomas CD. His voice has a great quality of depth, uniqueness, smoothiness and of course strength. I only find 3 cd available, what a shame. I would probably buy all the rest. In conclusion, you get a heart-felt sweetness from listening to Thomas (Try sample 1 & 3). I hope I will find more of his singing record.

Golden Age Recording Worth Its Weight In Gold.......2004-05-17

I'll have to admit, when it comes to re-releases of classical music, I am usually an easy target, but when the CD that is re-released from LP to CD format has a retro cover, I'm almost always a sucker. All I need to do to prove this point is show people the RCA Red Seal releases I have in my collection. Why do these recordings have such an appeal? Many of them I listened to when growing up and many are the very recordings that introduced me to classical music and started me on a lifelong appreciation of wonderful sounds performed by the world's foremost performers. When it has an original cover, I am transported back in time, albeit without scratches thanks to digital re-mastering. That being said, when I saw a vintage re-release of a Prima Donna with a French poodle (it dates back to 1961, would she be pictured any other way?), my curiosity was piqued. I was naturally drawn to Decca's re-release of a Hilde Gueden recording of operetta favorites. After listening, I realized I struck gold with this collection.

When performing, Hilde Gueden's repertoire tended toward Mozart roles and some Germans works, although she had success in a wide variety of roles including Gilda and Musetta. Her voice is light yet disciplined which makes her a natural for operetta arias. It is evident from listening that Ms. Gueden not only is a capable performer, but enjoys the music she is performing. This recording contains many of the standard favorites such as "Hore ich Zigeurnergeigen" from GRAFIN MARIZA, Straus' Wiener Blut, and the Nuns' Chorus from Casanova to name a few. She performs as a soloist in many of the tracks though in some she is accompanied by the wonderful Vienna Operetta Choir. Robert Stolz does a wonderful job conducting the Vienna Staatsoper Orchestra.

As I mentioned earlier, the recording is packaged nostalgically which Decca hopes will give it a retro appeal. The only drawback is that the liner notes are in very small, almost unreadable font. Perhaps with a magnifying glass, the text can be read, but at a legendary recording at a discount price is a bargain any day, even with a few slight packaging flaws.

Chocolate Soldier a delicious treat.......2002-01-22

The Ohio Light Opera is one of those "Best Kept Secrets" on the American cultural scene today. Why Opera News magazine doesn't do a big spread on this troupe out in Wooster Ohio is a mystery.
Perhaps because the main fare of this wonderful company is little known operetta material rather than the zillionth La boheme or traviata. Surely OLO is making more "news" than the less adventurous companies playing it safe with Verdi and Puccini. End of sermon. The fact here is that this lovely Oscar Straus (one "s," I think, and no family relationship with Johann or Richard) score has not been previously recorded, surely not complete with dialogue and music. The series of CDs this company has turned out recently does this very thing--for better or worse (some of the "books" are pretty antiquated)--but as a nostalgic and musical docoumenting of works which were somehow relevant 100 years ago and can still move us with their charming musical scores, this work is terrific.

Suzanne Woods in the principal soprano role is creamy and wonderful and the Ohio Light Opera orchestra most tuneful. The live recording is often just a little distracting, but one can imagine the shenanigans onstage and feel all the fun both cast and audience are having with the production. So, why not. Newport Classics is/are to be thanked for their courage in bringing this dellightful stuff from another time to us. Thanks.

Delightful operetta........2000-10-26

There are many operettas more famous than The Chocolate Soldier but few that are better. The plot is amusing and the musical score is filled with memorable tunes -- including the big hit, generally known as My Hero which recurs throughout the score. The Ohio Light Opera company is to be commended for making this delightfully tuneful gem available. But how long will it stay in the catalog? Who kows? If you like operetta/light opera, please treat yourself to The Chocolate Soldier while it's still available.

tuneful, well-recorded, delightfully produced.......1999-09-22

Beautiful recording for a live performance, excellent orchestral playing and lively, youthful attentive cast. Excellent buy!!

At last, complete!.......1999-08-17

The really good news is that after offering us the very first complete (dialogue included) recording of Victor Herbert's Eileen, wonderful little Newport Classic now gives us a complete performance of Oscar Straus' The Chocolate Soldier (NPD 85650/2) with the Ohio Light Opera under J. Lynn Thompson. Be assured there is a new translation used here-no more of that horrible "Thou art divine" that Rise Stevens had to sing in the film-and the dialogue is intelligent for an operetta (a non Gilbert & Sullivan one, I mean) because it draws upon the wit of George Bernard Shaw (who had disassociated himself from the work and lost a fortune in royalties by doing so.) While it is not as consistently tuneful as Der Fledermaus-and what German operetta is?-there are enough pleasant tunes to keep you listening many times to this Newport offering. The soloists are never less than good: Suzanne Woods, Daniel Neer, Greta Feeney, John Pickle, Elizabeth Peterson, and others are having a lot of fun and it comes across. Of course my preference is to hear German works in German (I'm really being picky this week), but there is no harm in knowing what is being sung without a libretto. And Newport is to be congratulated for consistently giving with its CDs excellent notes and the full texts. Lovers of light opera should pounce on this one. And do not forget the Eileen on the same label. Buy one for yourself, one as a terrific gift for a discerning friend.

Great album except for the Title Track.......2000-05-02

The third man theme orchestration on the first track is simply awful (bad enough to be humorous)! The rest of the CD is delightful with just zither with accordian accompanyment. There might be other instruments, but I'm not sure. Karras used a zither that was especially built for him which produced a very full and rather aggressive sound. He also repeatedly plucked the strings in many songs to produce a sustaining tone. I find that style of playing very interesting. "The Third Man" is one of my favorite movies. The opening credit showing Karras' hands playing the zither is, in my opinion, one of the great graphic achievements of that era. Most of the album is made-up of various themes from Strauss and operetta strung together. Each track may contain 3-5 themes. My favorite theme is #2 on track 21. The good original analog recording is nicely transferred to digital with little noise and appropriate dynamic range. Listening to this recording is like taking a quick trip to one of my favorite cities--Vienna!

Erich Kunzel is the baton and the heart of the Cincinnati Pops. I am fortunate enough to live in the Cincinnati area and have seen and heard the Pops in person. It is an awesome experience. However, if you cannot get to Cincinnati or to one of his on-tour performances, the Telarc CDs are as close to live as you can get! Viennafest is no exception. The care that is so evident on every Cincinnati Pops release is meticulous. The waltzes and marches are melodious and true to the theme of the CD. I eagerly await the release of each Erich Kunzel CD--BRAVO!
