    5 out of 5 stars Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12

    This is the "Merry Widow" with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved this rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with the word "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note with an incressing crescendo and fortissimo louder than the chorus and holding the final high note---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

    The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

      5 out of 5 stars For the Aspiring Celtic Guitarist..........2005-08-07

      I must admit,this review is of both the CD and the accompanying book of transcriptions. The selection is quite unique, ranging from the renaissance lute manuscripts of Scotland purely traditional (and much more recent-most of the jigs, reels, and airs of today's Celtic music might sound primal, but they date from the late 1700's-early 1800's)tunes such as 'The Butterfly'. Most of the work-about three quarters-is taken from the work of 17th century blind Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan. O'Carolan's work has a distinctive sound for the most part, equal parts baroque and Irish folk, with a few songs leaning strongly one way or the other. So be warned, this is NOT the Celtic music you would hear from traditional groups such as the Cheiftains or Altan, nor is it classical or baroque in the style prefered by Bream or Williams. It is instead a blend of, to me, the best of both genres, combining the sophistication and delicacy of early classical music with the haunting soulfulness of Celtic music. It is also a glimpse at the earliest known examples of music from Scotland and Ireland, predating the dance numbers that are recorded more today.

      As a guitarist, I thoroughly enjoyed working through the book. The selections are all beautiful and impressive to hear, yet many are very, very easy to perform. Most of my playing has been acoustic rock and folk with a flatpick, so I was very pleasantly suprised to find that some of my favorite pieces from the recording were not only within my grasp (after a reasonable amount of practice!) but even primer-like, the notes by the author making each song learned a lesson in technique. The transcriptions are also in tab, which is a big plus for me and I'm sure many others. It IS good to be able to read music, I suppose (I can decipher, myself, but not sight read), but standard notation was not designed for fretted instruments, and anyway, tab was always traditionally used lutes by composers such as J S Bach, anyway, so can even be considered more 'correct' for the guitar. Just be aware that the tunes here are more archaic than what is normally heard. Tony McManus wannabes will have to go elsewhere, I'm afraid.

      An incredible recording. The music is rhythmic and driving. The arrangements and original compositions are exciting. This is something for lovers of Celtic music who want some originality while still enjoying the classic celtic melodies.

      5 out of 5 stars Fine music, tone-deaf pricing from Vivendi.......2007-05-09

      "This is the Army" is the first, and by far the greatest. When the word historic has lost all meaning this revue truly was -- perhaps the biggest show-biz charity fundraiser ever (for the Army Emergency Relief, which exists to this day), an incalculable morale booster on two fronts, a show whose too-small number of black players nonetheless helped break down the military's color barrier. It also sired the first major-label musical cast album; Decca rushed it into production at the end of July, 1942 to beat the AFM's notorious recording ban. That (and perhaps some reticence with an untested genre) may explain why the public only got four 10" 78s, shorter than they should have been. (Victor rushed its own studio recording into print as well, with mediocre arrangements and Fats Waller.) The following year Decca atoned for its mistake when it declared peace with the musician's union to record "Oklahoma!", making the cast album a permanent part of our musical lives. If we got only a fraction of what must have been it must have been tremendous. On the evidence this was Irving Berlin's finest score to date, and after the slog through multiple continents with a war hardened company he dug deep and wrote "Annie Get Your Gun." The tragedy is that no one tried to revive this show when enough of the boys were still alive, say in the eighties; perhaps Berlin, by then a hopeless recluse, turned it down. As touching and as stirring as these songs are it is preposterous that this score has remained all but buried since the last production in 1945. That this show is inextricably tied to a war is no excuse; the memory of a brave generation deserves better.

      We go inevitably downhill from there, starting with the first track of "Call Me Mister", a postwar show with a lighter touch, and a lighter songwriter in several ways. Harold Rome could write a mean lyric, and he was good at the sort of situational humor that worked with topical shows, but despite his ambitions -- at the end of his career he foolishly adapted "Gone with the Wind" -- he just could not write the fine ballad that would have put him in the first rank. So where "This is the Army" can move the soul "Mister" just sits there, despite a haunting tribute to the "Face on the Dime." Its comic relief saves the day and it's pretty good as a recording too, as it's from 1946, and gives us a flavor of the old-time Broadway sound that makes these early albums so appealing. The four concluding sides of incidental music from Moss Hart's play "Winged Victory" are negligible. These are from David Rose, author of "Holiday for Strings" and patron saint of easy listening (until he wrote "The Stripper" and no doubt caused Red Skelton to swallow his kaddidlehopper). As might be expected from a man Spike Jones parodied he writes the most self-important music with the most showoffy grandiose charts, undercutting whatever patriotic feeling it had. His orchestral yelling even makes "The Army Air Corps" ("Off we go into the wild blue yonder") tiresome, a true negative achievement. It's easy to see why this has never been revived -- and never could be.

      Despite its shortcomings of production (and in the last two works of inspiration), this is a fine and valuable recording. Which brings us to Vivendi. When the company revamped its cast-album catalog it decided to price these completely amortized albums at full-line-plus. It's especially galling here as all the selections from "This is the Army" and "Winged Victory" and at least one from "Call Me Mister" have enough surface noise and distortion to indicate they're likely from commercial pressings. Maybe Mr. Bronfman Junior needed the money for his ultimately failed investment; but such gouging underscores the contempt the record business has for its customers, whom it sees as saps whose pockets will empty endlessly when it grabs them face down by the ankles. The public is now richly returning the favor by tuning itself out to the majors and its endless parade of tunelessness. For all the gold-chained clan's howls of denial it isn't good for the record trade -- and in the end, by eviscerating the one stable source for new music, it isn't good for us.

      5 out of 5 stars At long last and timely to boot.......2003-09-01

      Having scored a triumph during World War I with his "Yip Yip Yaphank," Irving Berlin was a natural to be asked to create a similar revue for World War II, and the all-male "This Is the Army" did very well. An original cast recording came out in 1942. The very next year, the Air Force got its chance with Moss Hart's "Winged Victory." Four of the songs appeared in boxed set of 78 rpm discs. When it was all over, the returning GI was saluted in yet another revue called "Call Me Mister." That original cast album appeared in 1946. Now you can hear them ALL on a single Decca CD (BOOOO831-02).

      There is a soundtrack recording from the film "This Is the Army" that is extremely fuzzy, making this Decca release far preferable, all the more so because it does give us the original all-soldier cast that included Irving Berlin himself singing (more or less) his immortal "Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning." Other songs include "I Left My Heart at the Stage Door Canteen," "How About a Cheer For the Navy," and "American Eagles."

      The focus here is how men made the transition from civilian to military life, and most of the problems they faced are mentioned in the opening number, "This Is the Army, Mr. Jones." We must also note with some sadness that the real problems of joining an army are never explicit, but the purpose of the show was to reassure and not to look at the "dark side of the force."

      "Winged Victory" originally contained only two discs holding four songs: "Winged Victory," "My Dream Book of Memories," "The Whiffenpoof Song," and "The Army Air Corps." That last one thrilled my generation whenever it was played over the radio and especially during the wartime films; and it has lost none of its potency over the years. (The line about going "down in flame" still chills.) This was also the first military revue that included women, a fact which makes it even more of an historical document.

      In 1946, Harold Rome lent his talents to putting together a revue for those returning to civilian life. Early in the war, Dinah Shore was able to praise "A Boy in Khaki," but Vaughn Monroe later in the war sang about looking forward to wearing "Just a Blue Serge Suit." I have a particular fondness for this set, because I owned a copy as a boy, played it to death, and eventually lost track of it. I never knew there was a 1950 LP version which included "This Is the Army," and I spent years trying to find the company that held the copyright that would get it onto a tape or (later on) a CD. So 57 years after the album first was released, my prayer has been answered!

      The first number, sung by Lawrence Winters (a great portrayer of Porgy, by the way), takes place aboard a "Going Home Train" and is replete with optimism. A sketch in which a group of men are waiting to be assigned work for the day included Winter's rendition of "The Red Ball Express" on which the Black GIs carried supplies to the troops. He is the only one denied work at the end of the scene. We had an even older enemy than the Nazis to face.

      A young newcomer named Betty Garrett delighted audiences with "Little Surplus Me" and "Yuletide, Park Avenue" in which many of the New York shops are mentioned in Christmas carol style. But it was her rendition of "South America, Take It Away" that brought down the house and raised her to stardom.

      You get the expected comic number, "Military Life," sung by Jules Munshin (remember him from the film "On the Town"?) and two other men, while Winters sings "A Face on a Dime," a song that needs some explaining to those who were born after the minting of the "Roosevelt Dime." "Along With Me" and the full version of "When We Meet Again" are the ballads, while the title song acts as a finale number.

      The press release announces, "Decca Broadway Salutes the Troops With the CD Release of Three World War II Musical Revues." The current situation, I am sure, helped prompt the release of this set; but whatever the reason, I am absolutely delighted it is finally available. The songs are mostly excellent examples of their kind, the lyrics for the most part clever and powerful, the historical value great. I really suggest that History Departments take notice and get a copy. All the textbook accounts of the war never give the human side of things, and this CD will go a long way to letting the present young generation know how we faced all-too-familiar problems back then.

        Album Description

        This new collection of songs by The Merkin Dream is a lament over failed paintings, tragic love, and a late night search for food. "Cottage" takes us from a hazy New York City subway to a crisp late summer evening on the beach by way of winding guitar and keyboard lines, layers of airy textures and beautifully honest vocals.

        5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite cd ever........2006-02-28

        After buying the first cd, I was wanting more of this different sort of sound. A little over a year later I was browsing and for kicks I typed in the Merkin Dream and I found their new mini album, "Cottage". This cd is the top one in my collection. At first it took a little used to the vocals from their first album, but they are so catchy and soft. This cd chills me out when I need it, and cheers me up when I need it. I have never heard anything else like it, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone at least for one listen. I have not heard anything else like this before. This cd is a must have. Buy it! I have never heard anyone with this sort of sound before. Buy this cd. You will love it especially if you loved the first album.

        5 out of 5 stars Its only 5 songs, Fortunately they are all good........2005-11-09

        It's hard to review music. It's a very personal thing. All I can say is that I like this CD a lot. The only issue is that it is only 5 songs. I wish I would have searched iTunes first. It is there for only $4.95. So if your into iTunes you can save about $7.00 (if you include the price of shipping the CD)

        5 out of 5 stars Break out the headphones.......2004-11-04

        Not earbuds, either. This one's a spare aural trip like the best ones from the 60s. A new-found pop sensibility and some tasty guitar work added to the electronic mastery of their previous releases. Definitely not just more of the same. Lyrics are interesting this time: one song seems to be sung by a dead man, and their supposed Rhode Island School of Design background is evoked in Art Students. (Note that there's still no band photos, so the rumours about who these guys really are will certainly continue. No clues on banana-apple.com, either.) My girlfriend heard a Merkin Dream song in a little club in Montreal that's supposed to be from a new album called "Collecting Rocks." She said it was beautiful.

        5 out of 5 stars and i thought ken jennings was genius..........2004-10-31

        this 5-songer is brilliant! i mean more than ken jennings betting $7800 on aquatic animals where the question is "what is the elephant seal?"

        i love phoenix, her space holiday, blonde redhead, my new english bulldog, and langonisa at elvie's. if this sounds like you, then you will adore "cottage" by the merkin dream.

        just listen, and you will see.

        5 out of 5 stars This is a message to all who want something greater ..........2004-10-08

        This is a message to all who want something greater from the music industry:

        I have heard this album over and over and I never seem to tire from listening to it. I have truly adored The Merkin Dream's previous albums but I must say that their newest project "Cottage' has taken a major step forward in the evolution of musical artistry. These chaps continually cultivate and refine their craft with every creative endeavor they embark. In a world of bubble gum and vapid music the Merkin Dream brings a gift to the masses seeking sustenance by synthesizing brilliant narratives with graceful melodies.

        Regardless of your favored musical genre, "Cottage" will fit into your life and find permanent residency in your CD player. There is so much junk food out in this world and since the nature of music is based on taste, you might as well splurge on meal that nurtures you. This album does such. If you feel you've forgotten the sensation of being moved and thrilled by an album then I truly suggest you pick up "Cottage" by The Merkin Dream.

        Cheers to The Merkin Dream- A devoted fan

        5 out of 5 stars Acquire a Taste for Stina.......2005-07-09

        Like most first-time listeners, I was somewhat taken aback by Nordenstam's little-girl delivery. But, once I got past the squeeky-ness and began to really listen...
        Stina is a revelation, bringing a palette of tonal colors and lyrical insight to the table, reminiscent of singer/songwriters as diverse as Joni Mitchell and Fleming McWilliams. Rarely matched in the genre, her music is more than just intelligent, its remarkably listenable. "His song" fills my Sunday afternoons with soft, jazzy reveries and "I'll be crying for you" is almost pop. Songs like "Alan Bean" have developed a cult-like following and have made this album a must-have.
        It's been said numerous times that Stina's music isn't for everyone. It's not. Only those with working ears can appreciate this Scandinavian treasure.

        5 out of 5 stars Singing like a sky blue silk scarf floating in the breeze.......2003-06-27

        Very blue, even the "happy" song..Alan Bean.Sweet innocent melancholy. Listen to it on a blue day. It's pastel blue so you won't get more blue, it will just be a sountrack to your mood.

        3 out of 5 stars Just OK.......2002-02-14

        This is not a bad recording but it has some serious problems. Although it's sung in English, some of the diction is so mushy (particularly the lead tenor's) that it's hard to tell what the language is. The vocal performances overall are missing the Viennese/Hungarian style. There's a bit too much of the English music hall stylistically, particularly in the comic numbers. Still, Kalman's music is glorious and deserves to be better-known than it is.

        4 out of 5 stars The Countess.......2001-05-13

        I love this opperetta! I was first introduced to it when I was cast as a village child, actually Juliska and the music just waltz's my worries away!
