Plucked from a wet afternoon of busking Bizet and Puccini to passersby on the Piazza in Covent Garden in the spring of 2001, soprano Rebecca Knight and mezzo Karen England soon found themselves singing in slightly larger venues: the FA Cup and Champions League soccer finals. That the management company doing the plucking had recently performed a similar Cinderella crossover act for Russell Watson offered portent, and indeed the Babes--the moniker began as a joke--were soon on their way to this recording debut. The marketing shtick and its soccer connections may offend purists, but it's the football hooligans that the Babes are trying to win over here; can Borodin soothe the savage Manchester United fan? Their classically trained voices mesh gloriously, with England's warm mezzo showing particular character in her solo turns.

The repertoire choices here cover material that may already be familiar to fans of Charlotte Church (i.e., Delibes "Flower Duet") and other crossover acts, but they do include some pleasant surprises, like Offenbach's Barcarolle from The Tales of Hoffmann and "You Live On in My Heart," a reworking of Ennio Morricone's enchanting Cinema Paradiso theme with lyrics by Knight. But in a rush toward the musical middle of the road, it's the productions themselves that sometimes overwhelm the Babes with bathos ("Ave Maria"), hollow thunder ("Aida 2002"), and electro club kitsch (the 'Vibe Tribe' mix of "Flower Duet"). Former Art of Noise mainstay Anne Dudley's tastefully restrained coloring of Tchaikovsky's "1001 Nights" is one of the notable exceptions. They're babes, they sing opera--with fair promise--for the masses, and if they turn one in a hundred from football hooliganism to a well-mannered appreciation of Grieg and Dvorák, won't it all have been worth it? --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

wallpaper.......2007-07-12

overorchestrated, overproduced aural wallpaper...that said, still, these women have wonderful voices and are worth hearing. They are oversold,too...Opera Babes! Indeed. Folks who like Enya will like this.

simply beautiful, so just enjoy it.......2007-06-11

my daughter has taught me to love opera. this immediately captured me. the Babes' voices blend so beautifully. I love it! who cares about Puccini, Classic Opera, blah, blah, woof, woof. I love this album

Sloppy renditions and amateurish.......2007-05-15

I heard one of the selections on Sirius and liked it so I bought the CD. Upon hearing the entire CD I was disappointed that the only selection I liked was the one that prompted me to buy the product. The voices are nice but they are simply adding voice to opera masterpieces that do not fit. They are certainly not of the caliber of Sarah Brightman or Charlotte Church and don't look for that. Their sound is mellow, dim and without the emotion that does an inservice to the opera pieces they sing. I found the CD lackluster and in all honestly very "amateurish".

Great songs reinvented, with a twist.......2006-09-30

Expanding upon the recent interest in Gregorian chant fusion as well as rich-voiced solo vocalists such as Josh Groban, operatic soprano Rebecca Knight and mezzo soprano Karen England offer full-vibratoed, somewhat modernized interpretations of favorite classical themes. Backed by chorus, orchestras, keyboards and drums, they draw from such diversely satisfying works as Puccini's opera "Madame Butterfly," Grieg's "Piano Concerto in a minor," Dvorak's "New World Symphony," Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream," Orff's "Carmina Burana," Delibe's "Lakme," Beethoven's "Ode to Joy," Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," Offenbach's "The Tales of Hoffman," Schubert's "Ave Maria," and Verdi's "Aida." Some of the arrangements are fairly traditional, while others are noticeably enhanced. The emphasis tends to be on pretty pieces with sweet melodies, though a few are more intense in nature (#1, 4, 5, 15 and 17). A couple of pop songs, still sung in operatic style, are thrown in for good measure, although they don't have the same appeal and mystique as the old favorites. All of the selections feature both vocalists together, singing in lovely, close harmony. The arrangers of this elegantly hip music include Jon Cohen, Noely, Frank Gallagher, Deni Lew and Anne Dudley, with multi-language lyrics (for the adaptations of instrumental works) by Rebecca Knight and others. I have to admit that I occasionally found myself longing for the modern additions to be more consistently interesting and distinctive--in other words, equaling the artistry of the classics that they're accompanying. Track #1, which really shines, is a well-done example. Alternately, perhaps the source songs might have been better off left in their pure, original styles rather than watered down with schmaltzy, predictable underpinnings that don't add much to the music. But like Enigma did for medieval chant, the Opera Babes are endeavoring to bring some wonderful, time-tested music to a wider audience, fusing it with modern idioms in way that is artistic and generally appealing. For more opera fusion, compare the work of Amici Forever (a group of five singers, both male and female), and the oddly packaged but similar-in-concept album "Coco de Mer" by Adam Plack.

Praise for Beyond Imagination.......2006-02-26

What I really enjoyed about this album was its distinctive sound and arrangement of the material. I enjoy classically performed opera and was surprised how much I like the Opera Babes' versions. Of course, the wonderful voices added immensely to the high quality of this product.

Customer Reviews:

One Great Concert By One Great Folk Band.......2007-06-29

I grew up with the music of The Seekers and fondly recall many of their tunes on a regular basis. I often times associate milestones in my life with the music of the times or recall the actions of my youth whenever I hear tunes that relate to my past.

Night of Nights is a recorded reunion tour that puts out there, for all to enjoy, a compendium of Seekers music that will never grow old. Primarily universal folk, rock, calypso and gospel this recording reattaches us old timers with the days of our youth.

Age has not diminished the quality of the music put forth by The Seekers. This live recording just goes to show that sometimes the best get better with age.

If you're 40 years or less in age, your parents would most likely love this as a gift. It is superb.

You"ll love this..............2007-04-13

What a treat for any Seekers fan to own. The sound of this cd set is beautiful. Judith's voice is at it's best, and the guys on their instruments never sounded better. A rare group that sounds every bit as
good live as in the studio. If you are a Seeker fan... get this concert on cd.

I want to give this CD 10 stars!.......2005-05-09

I remember seeing this cd for sale at the end of a Seekers concert at the Melbourne Concert Hall 2003.Not realizing that it would probably be my most played cd ever.I still play it often 2 years later.
Judith Durhams voice is simply supurb on this,and is so clear.
I love playing those gospel songs and of course the hits.
One of my favorite tracks is "You Can Tell The World".
I doubt anyone could sing that better than Judith.They had a special sound,and on this cd i believe it is at its very best here.
All the hits are here and some sound better than the original.
But they did not make the songs sound too much different than original versions.
Ive been a Seekers fan since i saw them sing at the 1994 AFL grand final.
If you are a Seekers fan and dont have this,get it.
I was only 1 when the Seekers broke up in 1968,but i have been fortunate enough to see them in 2003 and 2004 in concert.
This cd definitly catches them at their best.

The very best.......2004-06-29

If you don't own this CD then you can't call yourself a fan of the Seekers. They are in top form here. The arrangements are a bit fuller than you might expect due to some orchestral arrangements but it never intrudes. Wonderful CD. Get it. You won't be dissapointed.

BRAND NEW LIVE RECORDING!!!!.......2003-06-05

I am usually not a big fan of "live" recordings but I must say that this 2 CD package is a gem! It has been a joy to rediscover that this group is alive and well after so many years.
The Seekers remain extremely popular in their native Australia as well as in the UK. The package features all of the groups U.S. hits as well as a number of songs that were significant hits in England. The CD presents the complete concert from start to finish including all of the "chat". As an amateur musicologist, I was able to pick up on some information that I was not previously aware of. For example, I had always heard that Paul Simon wrote the 1966 classic "Red Rubber Ball" by the Cyrkle. It turns out that Simon was living in London in the mid 1960's and that he actually co-wrote that song with Bruce Woodley of the Seekers. Also, Judith Durham performs a solo rendition of Petula Clarks 1967 hit "This Is My Song" which was written by the legendary comedian Charlie Chaplin when he was in his 70's.
Also included are a couple of tunes from the groups 1997 studio album "Future Road". If you are a fan of the group you must pick up that one. There are very few artists who I would care to listen to for an entire evening at home. The Seekers are one of them. Although the genre is different, their unique sound places them in the company of groups like the Mills Brothers and the Statler Brothers as a joy to listen to. And I continue to maintain that Judith Durham is one of the premiere female vocalists of the past century. Although the price may seem a bit steep, I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!!!
