It doesn't get any better than these two playing these guys! Some of it was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Use your imagination... It's all just swell.

5 out of 5 stars A Musical Treat.......2006-01-08

"The true mission of the violin is to imitate the accents of the human voice, a noble mission that has earned for the violin the glory of being called the king of instruments." ~ Charles-Auguste De Bériot ~

Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grapelli together had made some of the most beautiful music ever-recorded. And I believe that this is one of the many successful albums they recorded together. In this recording, both violinists have showed their excellent musicianship and interpretative eloquence as well, making it one of my most cherished CDs from my collection.

These are the main ingredients of a perfectly-made CD for your listening pleasure: mix violins, piano, bass and drums together, combine two terrific violinists, season with the best melodies in the 20s, 30s and 40s from Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart. Add the musical talents of Nelson Riddle, Max Harris, Martin Taylor, Eddie Tripp, Alan Clare and the rest of the studio musicians. Now all you have to do is to sit back, relax and savor these stunning melodies coming from your CD player. Listen to it in full-volume and fill your music room with the sheer beauty of these classics.

One of my favorite musical instruments is violin. With its four strings, it gives a whole wide range of musical versatility and I simply love the fascinating sound it produces.

My personal highlights are the best tunes from Jerome Kern - "The Way You Look Tonight" (Nelson Riddle arranged this particular track and conducted the Woodwind and Brass section), "A Fine Romance," "Pick Yourself Up," "Why Do I Love You?" and "All The Things You Are."

My choices from Irving Berlin's gems are - "Isn't It A Lovely Day?" featuring the great artistry of Nelson Riddle in arranging and conducting, "Cheek To Cheek" and "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm."

The Cole Porter repertoire represented his musical sophistication in "Night And Day," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Just One Of Those Things."

The choice cuts from the talented and creative team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are "My Funny Valentine" and "Thou Swell."

Listening to this CD is so delectable and equivalent to having my favorite dessert - be it Tiramisu, New York Cheesecake, Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Soufflé, Créme Brulee, Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate-Coated Strawberries! ;)

A musical treat.

Eric Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops have done it again. This is a spectacular collection. It makes you feel like getting dressed up with a lot of glitz and glam and going dancing. Though I must admit that Fredrica Von Stade's rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" will definitely touch your heart.

As Hammerstein writes in the opening song, "Many dames with lofty aims strive for lofty goals"--and Te Kanawa strives for successful crossover. Her beautiful singing exhibits impeccable diction and excellent phrasing; but "A Fine Romance" lacks anger and humor, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" lacks a storyteller, and "All the Things You Are" lacks romanticism. However, happy songs like "All Through the Day," "Look for the Silver Lining," and "The Folks Who Live on the Hill," are successfully interpreted. Jonathan Tunick's orchestrations enhance Kern's beauty through his captivating use of obbligato instruments. A pleasant, if not wholly satisfactory, listening experience. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars kiri kern.......2007-03-29

Kiri is sensational on this CD. Jerome Kern music is stupendous and the arrangements superb. Three top esses.

5 out of 5 stars Kiri sing Kern is a great experience.......2004-01-18

I love the way she sings Kern's songs. Though certainly not opera, Kern's songs benefit from an an operatic approach--not all of them, but certainly ones such Smoke gets in your Eyes, The song is you, All the things you are. I love Kern;s songs sung in many styles but Kiri's way is one of the best.

On the other hand, I did not like Kiri singing Berlin.

3 out of 5 stars Lacks Splendor.......2002-09-01

Though I do enjoy Kiri's interpretation of most music, and this CD was decent, I did not find any piece particularly memorable.

The voice is undeniably beautiful, and Kiri has managed to keep her maturing voice sounding somewhat young, yet I find that I much prefer her rendition of "The Laughing Song" to that of "Smoke Gets in YOur Eyes."

If you love Kern, and couldn't care less who performs it, than purchase this CD. If you are a fan of Kiris', then perhaps it would be best to avoid this purchase...for it is not a shining star in her vast collection of CDs. All in all, it was a disappointment.

5 out of 5 stars White Glove Kern.......2001-05-20

I am the first to admit that most "crossover" albums, be they of classical performers singing pop or vice versa never quite cross over. This album does splendidly. Kern's music is the most related to classical operetta , and therefore the least jazziest. Operatic soprano Kiri Te Kanawa gives luscious, heartfelt readings of these wonderful songs, backed by glamorous orchestrations. Hearing a voice of such opulence and beauty in this music is a rare treat. Just listen to "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" ,"Long Ago and Far Away" or "The Song is You" and prepare to be swept away to another, more elegant time.

3 out of 5 stars mildly disappointing.......2000-09-30

Sometimes cross-over works, sometimes not. While Kiri te Kanawa has a beautiful voice, she never gets into the idiom of these Jerome Kern masterpieces sufficiently to convey their stories or their subtleties. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes especially stands out, she sings it with none of the pathos the song demands and her version pales compared to the Platters. The orchestral arrangements are decent and in many of the songs the purity of her voice is enough to carry them, but overall I would say this is a disappointing example of a crossover record. Ms. te Kanawa should stick to what she does best.

5 out of 5 stars "Puts On Sinatra . . . And Starts To Cry".......2005-11-20

"It takes a long time to heal a broken heart. It's happened to all of us and never gets any easier. I understand, however, that playing one of my albums can help." ~ Frank Sinatra ~

Perfectly-said! It's absolutely true. Playing one or two or all of his albums works wonder. Let it out! Pour your sentiments out by listening to his music.

One of the most distinguishing characteristics of Frank Sinatra as a singer is his ability to convey the true essence of a song effectively. He praised the songwriters of yesteryears and believed that "they were of a different nature." These are his thoughts about some of the greatest songwriters of all-time.

"Sammy Cahn is always there for me; he has written some very poignant lyrics in his career; touching and loving type of songs. "All The Way" is a marvelous song."

"Cole Porter had that marvelous clip type of rhymes."

"Larry Hart wrote the most sophisticated saloon kind of songs; there was always a bit of bittersweet and sadness in them."

"Johnny Mercer had great humor in his music."

"What is this about Gershwin? He gets your ear and you can't stop listening?"

"Every one of those men, all the songwriters, are so responsible for my career."

This two-CD-set is an absolute musical gold mine with fifty of the most-loved and biggest hits of Frank Sinatra recorded from 1953 thru 1999. The impressive track listing includes the greatest songs penned by the most brilliant lyricists/composers of all-time: Sammy Cahn & Jim Van Heusen, Irving Berlin, George & Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern & Dorothy Fields, Harold Arlen & Ted Koehler, Erroll Gardner & Johnny Burke, Henry Mancini & Johnny Mercer, Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart, Bart Howard, Duke Ellington, Larry Hodges, Harry James & Don George, Antonio Carlos Jobim & Gene Lees, Michel Legrand, Harry Warren & Al Dubin, among the many others.

The lyric of a song is very vital to Frank Sinatra and according to him the "written word is first; always be first. Not belittling the music, but it is really a backdrop. To convey the meaning of a song, you need to look at the lyric and understand it."

Among my highlights on this wonderful compilation of the very best Sinatra songs include the following.

"The Way You Look Tonight" and "Moon River" (Nelson Riddle, Days of Wine And Roses, 1964)
"They Can't Take That Away From Me" (Neal Hefti, Sinatra And Swingin' Brass, 1962)
"I've Got A Crush On You" (Nelson Riddle, Nice 'N' Easy, 1960)
"Let's Face The Music And Dance," "You'd Be Easy To Love, "A Fine Romance," "Let's Fall In Love" and "You And The Night And The Music" (Johnny Mandel, Ring-A-Ding Ding, 1960)
"Night And Day" and "Misty" (Don Costa, Sinatra & Strings, 1961)
"More" and "Fly Me To The Moon" (Quincy Jones with Count Basie And His Orchestra, It Might As Well Be Swing, 1964)
"The Very Thought Of You" (Robert Farnon, Great Songs From Great Britain, 1962)
"Like Someone In Love" and "My Funny Valentine" (Nelson Riddle, Songs For Young Lovers, 1953)
"Watch What Happens" (Don Costa, My Way, 1969)
"Wave" (Eumir Deodato, Sinatra & Company, 1969)
"Loved Walked In" (Billy May, Sinatra Swings, 1961)
"It Had To Be You" (Billy May, Trilogy: Past, Present & Future, 1979)
"I Have Dreamed" and "Bewitched" (Nelson Riddle, Concert Sinatra, 1963)
"Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars" (Claus Ogerman, Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim, 1967)
"I've Got You Under My Skin" and "Call Me Irresponsible" (Nelson Riddle, Sinatra's Sinatra, 1963)
"Somethin' Stupid" (Duet with Nancy Sinatra, Billy Strange, The World We Knew, 1967)
"All The Way" (Duet with Celine Dion, David Foster & Jeremy Lubbock, All The Way, A Decade of Song, 1999)

"I sang so well because I felt the lyric
Here and here and here [touches his forehead, his heart and his stomach]
Whatever the man was trying to say in the song -
I'd been there. And back.
I knew what it was all about." ~ Frank Sinatra ~

This two-CD-set is a perfect addition to any Sinatra collection and I graciously recommend it. It includes a very informative liner notes with rare photos of the Chairman of the Board. The editorial research was done by Charles Pignone, a friend of the Sinatra Family and the author of "Sinatra Treasures."

5 out of 5 stars Great!!!!.......2006-04-21

I couldnt disagree more with the previous review. I loved this! I only had a vague knowledge of K T Sullivan and never heard of Nadler, but I love Dorothy Fields songs so I took a chance on this. Weather together or alone they both shine on this offering. Sullivan has a beautiful voice and does well on the ballads (Dont Blame Me is especially fine), and also does well on some of the playful ones (He Had Refinement medley). Nadler sings with more gusto and has the more bombastic numbers. Their singing styles are as different as night and day, but somehow it all works. The only bad cut is I'm In the Mood for Love, which is ruined by pairing it with Digga Digga Do by Nadler. (Who thought that up? They dont go together at all!). I find myself playing this CD often. Wonderful songs (I discovered some new favorites too!) sung by 2 fine singers who love what they are singing! You cant go wrong with Dorothy Fields.

1 out of 5 stars BITTERLY DISAPPOINTING - NOT WORTHY OF HER.......2006-04-05

i heard KT Sullivan on a program in the UK and sent for this CD for which I waited a long time. It is the most disappointing Cd I have ever heard. What possessed KT Sullivan to team up with Nadler, I will never know. His arrangements are awful - do not suit her voice and the key changes are positively offensive. His piano playing is insensitive and I could not wait to put the CD in the Trash. GREAT SONGS - dreadfuly performed.

        Customer Reviews:

        1 out of 5 stars Genial, pero..........2005-04-19

        Me parece que el arte vocal de Kiri posee muchas fortalezas y sòlidos atributos: brillantez, claridad, riqueza de colores, excelente fraseo, perfecta colocación y afinación, expresividad. Sin embargo, también carece de una mejor respiración para poder contrarrestar el excesivo vibrato que aplica a su canto. Sobre algunas de las obras interpretadas, recomiendo: Der Rosenkavalier: Schwarzkopf; Wagner: Kirsten Flagstad.

        5 out of 5 stars GREAT TE KANAWA !.......2004-02-19

        THIS IS A GODD OVERVIEW OF KIRI TE KANAWA`S TALENT,THIS COMPILATION INCLUDES GREAT OPERA ARIAS,AMERICAN SONGBOOK CLASSICS,MAORI SONGS AND MORE,DIGITALLY REMASTERED. REALLY ENJOYABLE.
