Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth VincentelliCustomer Reviews:

Customer Reviews:
A glorious heritage, well sounded.......2005-10-05
There are all sorts of music on this disc, that covers the whole range of pieces from the Sephardic culture - there are love songs, lullabies, and storytelling songs. Women feature prominently in the stories, and most likely in the composition, of many of the pieces here. Many pieces, however, have come down to the present time without composer/author credits. These could be the songs of many Mediterranean cultures; that they are Jewish is indicated in some of the details of the lyrics rather than the style of music itself. References to Hebrew Scriptures in certain ways, and certain Jewish customs and officials (such as the Moel, the one who performs circumcision) indicate the kinds of details present here.
La Rondinella makes use of wind and string instruments, most likely the same kinds of instruments used by the folk singers who would have been the original performers. Included here as performers are Paul Bensel (recorder, crumhorn, percussion), Howard Bass (lute, guitar, harp, percussion), Rosalind Brooks Stowe (treble viol, vielle, percussion), and Tina Chancey as a guest artist (treble viol, vielle, rebec, kamenj, recorder, percussion), with the alto vocals of Alice Kosloski. La Rondinella was established in 1987 in Washington D.C. as a group dedicated to older styles of music such as Sephardic, English, Scottish and Italian music.
The performances here are simply stunning, and remarkable in the fullness of sound and one with so few players. The care and spirit infused into the performances is wonderful. The emotion is very strongly present, particularly in pieces that give a sense of longing and wandering, a very well-known feeling among the Sephardim.
a Hispanophile and Judeophile.......2005-08-24
hauntingly beautiful simplicity.......2000-02-05
La Rondinella produces great earthy and colorful Medieval timbres. Kozloski's mezzo singing is lyrical and moving, some where on the spectrum between lieder singer and folk singer.
The songs have a hauntingly beautiful simplicity - they are a relevant today as they were 600 years ago. The booklet contains all the Ladino texts - if you know a little Spanish, they are quite understandable.
A Fabulous collection!.......1999-04-03

Very good CD for the price.......2000-08-14
Pippo's Biggest Fan.
A musical history.......1999-12-12
This disc is important because it traces this transition.
Only for die-hard Di Stefano fans.......1999-03-24
The CD covers a period of only 11 years, but the deterioration of his voice during that period is frightening. Track 1 (1962) 'Che Gelida Manina' showcases a much fresher voice, but he strains terribly for the high 'C' and never even gets close. Track 18 (1963) 'Una furtiva lagrima' is full of embarrassments- chokes, flat notes, etc. - yet the live audience eats it up.
Di Stefano had stopped singing by the time I became an opera fan. This disk clearly shows why. Being a famous operatic tenor is not always about vocal quality (James McCracken, anyone?), and Di Stefano was certainly an exciting siger. There is some beautiful music on this CD, but I find it to be of mostly historical interest.

FINEST DANCE COLLECTION OF ABBA EVER!!!.......2002-03-28
The sheer and absolute perfection of this set of ABBA pop classics that have been covered by the studio group ABBACADABRA is "the finest single artist mega-mixed collection ever available for retail sale". I fully stake my reputation in the industry on its achievement. New to my eyes, this exceptionally produced and engineered collection of 25 masterful classics is the finest example of a production house doing their most brilliant work ever. The glorious ABBA catalogue needs to introduction as I feel they are (ABBA), the greatest ever pop band in history; easily eclipsing any comparatives to the gloomy and political (yet oddly celebrated) BEATLES...Flawless productions, that have always respected highly the original pop-classics' veins made them an enormously gifted club anthem upon every single's release. Beginning in the early 1990's with a stunning remake of the disco classic "Dancing Queen" (later remixed by PWL to much success as well); the mixes always followed the trends in NRG music and it's many evolutions of the last decade. The label has provided two fluidic mega mixes, encompassing the most memorable moments from the ABBA catalogue - remixed, remade and re-mastered from the original digital recordings. At sometimes completely updating the engineering with potent new midi effects and technologies never before available. Basically put, this is a state-of-the-art studio recording that is mixed finer than any DJ could have ever done live in a club. The knowledge of the mixes used are exploited heavily in the design of this release. Much time has been put into the planning and execution of each of the two CD's in the box set collector's edition. The amount of additional elements added to the crafted finished product took immense, and prolific talents. The collection also features three as yet unavailable tracks I assume we will see as single releases as summer draws near...No words or stars can really rate this CD as it's the best CD collection I have ever heard and deserves special recognition. Classic and beloved material handled with the finest remixing/covering any artist could hope for, or music buyer could hope to enjoy in their home. Precedent setting release, that will melt your heart on many levels for many reasons.

Dame Eva Turner - The Collected Recordings
Manufacturer: Pearl ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD ASIN: B00004C8TK Release Date: 2000-04-25 |
Customer Reviews:
Interesting representation of the singer.......2003-11-07
The real problem was her voice was not subtle at all. Through her development it grew and grew in size (many other singers didn't want to sing with her, not because of her personality -- she was a trouper, but because they had to strain so to be heard when singing with her). As with all very large voices, the virtues are astonishing and the vices just as pronounced. Perhaps she was not capable of much subtle coloring as many smaller voices were capable of, but she was able to "raise the roof" in the theatres she sang in, and present a very powerful living drama. Her intonation was nearly perfect at all times. And, unlike is often thought, she had great stage presence.
Finally, when a role came her way, one in which she had no competition, people were willing to actually open their ears and hear what she had to offer.
This set of recordings is very interesting to listen to. Yes, as with all "complete works of anyone" we hear repeats of various arias. The key then is to listen and see what changes had developed as the performer expanded their understanding of the role. Few singers really show much development in that regard. In this case, there are improvements that we hear from time to time.
Some of the pieces recorded do nothing for me, and I wouldn't have wasted the time recording them, however, they reflect what producers were having singers record at that time.
One role that Turner sang and excelled in was the Leonora from Trovatore. Yes, she had the necessary agility. She even produced a beautiful trill. Sadly, nothing here gives evidence to this fact.
I recommend this recording for those interested in having recordings of this great and under appreciated singer who had so much to give. I recommend it also for those interested in hearing a truly huge voice (some say that even Nilsson could come close to the power of Turner) recorded with minimal destortion. We are not able to know exactly how magnificent her voice really was, not even through these recordings, but we can hear the even quality of her noble instrument.
It is a pricey set, but for those who are interested in historic recordings of very famous singers, I would recommend it.
Voice of a Legend.......2001-01-13
What you will hear is the voice of the definitive Turandot, a role which Dame Eva premiered in many houses, though the first performance of the opera was sung by Rosa Raisa. However, Franco Alfano, who completed the opera after Puccini's death proclaimed Dame Eva as the perfect Turandot. She effortlessly produces enormous waves of sound that are, at turns, steely or supple. Her instrument was one that has only been equaled by the great Birgit Nilsson.
Dame Eva left the stage in 1949 and moved to Oklahoma, where she was a professor of voice at the University of Oklahoma for 10 years before returning to her native England and taking her place on the faculty of the Royal Conservatory. She died in 1990, at the age of 98.
