A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

Scrambled, But Adequate Duet.......2004-08-25

Since earlier times,with duets being made very well, it is just difficult to accept certain duets as a well status. For Whitney Houston & George Michael, they have collaborated well, but not all that well. Their version of If I Told You That, was remixed within George Michael's voice, a track that Whitney originated for her 1998 album, My Love Is Your Love. The remixed version appeared for her 2000 The Greatest Hits record. Although the remix is just as upbeat and very dominant from both performers, it is just not what I would expect to hear from both Whitney & George. All in all, the bottom line is that If I Told You That is a very well put collaboration, but couldn't beat the original version Whitney Houston released. As for George Michael, his collaborations with Elton John on Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me & Aretha Franklin also on I Knew You Were Waiting For Me, were more exciting as well.

A great duet between two superstars.......2001-07-20

"If I Told You That" is a great example of the kind of pop-infused R&B that both George Michael and Whitney Houston are known for. Whitney sounds in top form, however George appears to be trying a bit too hard to compete with Miss Houston. He hits all the high notes, but he appears to be competing with her and he sounds better when he sticks to lower octives. The remix of the song is also great. "Fine" is a great jazzy R&B song, but the remix of "I'm Your Baby Tonight" falls flat.

You're gonna need a cardiologist after this tasty schmaltz attack on your senses by previously unreleased excerpts from the 1951-1966 Coca-Cola radio show. Mario Lanza's vibrant, satisfying tenor rings thrillingly, but lacks a necessary middle for many of these songs. Still, when the top opens, his sound is obsessively appealing as he scoops unabashedly to get your emotional adrenaline flowing. However, the descending line was not his friend. He's most successful with popular Italian songs and operetta excerpts. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

Customer Reviews:

Rough diamond.......2001-08-23

My initial impression on hearing this CD was: fabulous voice; rough performances. That view is essentially unchanged. Lanza fans will adore the heroic singing and sheer bravado of these performances; purists will no doubt find much to criticize in Lanza's unrestrained delivery. In a sense, both sides are right, but there can be no mistaking that this is one of the most exceptional tenor voices on record. The upper register is dazzling and the middle and low registers are rich and satisfying. Lanza's breath control is second to none, and the evenness between his registers shows a technical expertise that is quite astonishing. If that wasn't enough, the singer's way with a song is unique - not a word is neglected as Lanza imparts each number with his trademark commitment and freshness. This is a voice to treasure.

Now the criticism: all of the performances contained here come from Lanza's wildly erratic Coca-Cola Radio Show of 1951-52. To be sure, these weekly performances yielded some amazing results, but sadly only a handful of these are to be found on this disk. (For a much more consistent "Coke" CD, check out the excellent When Day is Done.) The real reason for the inconsistency in performance was lack of time, and often Lanza was not sufficiently familiar with the material. The arrangements certainly didn't help, with the emphasis on big endings and impossibly high keys. Having said that, I doubt that any other tenor in similar circumstances could have produced as many dazzling performances as Lanza achieved.

Duds first: Diane is a dreadful rendition, and let's hope it never resurfaces on any other compendiums. The Neapolitan songs are rough - very rough in the case of Santa Lucia Luntana and Canta Pe Me - and vastly superior performances (and arrangements) of these and others can be found on Lanza's magnificent Mario! Lanza At His Best CD. O Paradiso is a decidedly inferior effort (especially compared to the tenor's rendition in the 1955 movie Serenade) and suffers from appalling orchestral accompaniment. The two songs from The Student Prince (Serenade and Deep in My Heart) suffer badly in comparison with Lanza's magnificent soundtrack, recorded the same year. Here both performances are rushed and unpolished, with a totally unneccesary "scream" on the word "dream" at the conclusion of Deep in My Heart. You'll Never Walk Alone is a ho-hum effort, and there is a far better take of this number to be found on the CD of the same title.

For my money, the CD's strengths are the magnificent Addio Alla Madre (a performance that rivals Lanza's celebrated 1950 recording and has an on-key ending this time!); a sensitive rendition of O Tu Che In Seno Agli Angeli (surely one of the most difficult arias in the repertoire); the beautifully realized Your Eyes Have Told Me So; a cheeky and exciting La Danza; and a far more delicate reading of Parmi Veder Le Lagrime than his 1950 commercial rendition.

The sound is extremely bright (sometimes excessively so) at the expense of Lanza's mellow timbre, but there is a real sense of presence throughout. As one Lanza admirer remarked on first hearing this disk: "This is a fantasy voice." And indeed it is. Buy this disk for its highlights and revel in the tenor's exuberant genius.

Don't Forget Me? How could we Mario?.......2000-06-03

Lyndsay Perigo is spot on. This is the finest compact disc of Lanza's to date. The finest sound quality yet and boy what singing. Try if you dare, not to find "You Are Love" spine tingling and what about the sheer sensational neapolitan beauties. Let's not forget the wonderful arias on the albumn. Lanza had no vocal equal and probably never will. Listen to the disc, just once maybe and you will feel the same as many other fans of the greatest tenor voice EVER.

More Lanza Bonanza.......1999-08-16

The lady is right you will need a cordiologist, but not for the reasons she says. This is Mario Lanza in top flight, every track is a gem. Included on this Cd is a selection from the full Lanza repertoire, opera, operetta, musical comedy and popular songs of the day all sung to perfection as only Mario could sing them. For anyone who is a Lanza fan or for anyone who has only just heard of the Mario Lanza name, this is the Cd for you, but beware once you listen to this you will want them all.

The Great Mario.......1999-08-15

Barbara Eisner Bayer's review is pretentious nonsense. "No middle" for these songs & arias? Mario had a seamless transition from bottom to middle to top register, shown off to great advantage in these selections. Ms Bayer should have her hearing checked for mid-range frequencies. Lanza's performance of Addio Alla Madre on this CD is second to none.One could almost say the same for his 'Forza' recording. And was there ever singing more lush than Mario's Your Eyes Have Told Me So or Some Day I'll Find You? A problem with "descending" Ms Bayer? Listen to the conclusion to the latter, where Mario both descends & ascends with a facility & passion that reveal the moderns - the Three Tenors included - for the dead boring poseurs that they are. Thank goodness Mario Lanza is enjoying the renaissance that he is, so that we may be reminded of what glorious singing is really about, & once was.

Music for the 21st century..........2001-01-18

Since "Ladies and Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael," I was in complete wonderment of when George Michael would release any hip and fresh music of his own. Well here it is, and I'm excited for him. George Michael is in control of his career, as it is evident in the new CD-SINGLE, "If I Told You That." His voice is smooth and lullabish. I enjoy everything George Michael does in terms of his music. He is superb and extremely beautiful. I cannot wait until the release of a new album, whenever that may be. Kudos to George Michael and new music for the 21st century.

America's scared.......2000-09-30

Why haven't George Michael's duets with Mary J. Blige ("As") and Whitney Houston ("If I Told You That") been released as singles in America? What are the American record companies so afraid of? Could it be that George is now an out gay man? That's the only reason I can think of. It's this same thinking that keeps the U.S. record companies from releasing Boyzone's Stephen Gately's debut CD, already a big hit in the U.K. What's everyone so afraid of?

miss houston and george PURE MAGIC..........2000-09-16

THIS IS THE MUST HAVE CD OF 2000 (REMIX VERSION ARE ON THE WAY). ANY GEORGE OR WHITNEY FAN WILL LOVE BUT STATE SIDE RADIO WILL NOT PLAY IT "WHAT'S UP WITH THAT". SO RUN DON'T WALK AND PICK UP..

So-so duet.......2000-07-08

They are both excellent singers, but somehow their voices were buried under other sounds, and this song didn't really stand out. It's too bad since George Michael has performed some great duets with other female singers like Aretha Franklin (I Knew You Were Waiting), Jody Watley (Learn To Say NO), and more recently Mary J. Blige (As). I wish they could express voices with their own personality. It sounded as if they wanted their voices to be close to each other's. This song lacks personality, but happy to own it just because I am a big George Michael fan. To be honest, this is the worst duet that I have heard George has done.
