Underated Treasure.......2003-08-30

This Cd is delightful. I love Leslet Garrett's voice but most of all, I love the selection. This cd is great for introducing any true lover of opperetta to some truly great operas and composers. I originally bought this cd for a musical glimpse at Sullivans 'The Contrabandista' and discovered the beautiful worlds of Offenbach and Lehar and so many more that can not be heard except in pieces (many of which only exist on this cd such as 'The Contrabandista' and 'The Opera Ball' and 'The Dancing Years'). I recommend that anyone who loves opera buy this album. But on a final note, all of the songs are sung in english, even those not originally done so.

What a remarkable voice, it's deserves your attention.......2000-11-05

If you adore great singing by a super star this cd is for you. What a voice! Everytime I hear it, I loose my breath i'm so excited. I tell you, there are not many voices like this around. When you find one you have better latch on to it for there may not be another.

The main concern I had for this cd was the repertoire. It had too many songs that I didn't particulary like. If the repertoire had of been better this cd would definately have been a 5. I will say this, Lesley's voice was super even on the songs that I didn't like.

I know a lot of people are unfamiliar with Lesley, since she lives in the U.K., but she deserves you attention. She is a great talent.

Recommendation: Despite giving this cd a low rating, I still would like to recommend it.

Album Description

Get ready for the most amazing harmonies and most intricately arranged ragtime vocals you have ever heard. Here, for the first time ever, are the complete releases by the first supergroup of the acoustic recording industry. The Heidelberg Quintet combined the singular talents of the hottest star of the day, Billy Murray, with a top-notch performer whose fame was rapidly growing because of the amazing high notes he could reach with his natural voice—Will Oakland. Together with seasoned veterans John Bieling, Steve Porter, and William F. Hooley, these singers laid down harmonies that latter-day barbershop quartets dream of!

A pleasant surprise.......2005-03-04

I've been buying a fair amount of very old recordings lately, and I have enjoyed this one more than most. Will Oakland has a high, strong voice that is distinctive and almost sweet-at least on Emmett's Lullaby, Tennessee Moon, and a few of the other standouts. Unfortunately, it appears this is the only recording of his work available. Billy Murray is also a top notch singer, as on Waiting for the Robert E. Lee. The sound quality here is as good as anything prior to 1925 (these songs were recorded in 1912-1914). Basically, this is high quality barbershop quartet music with an excellent falsetto voice that often sings lead.
