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.

Not as bad an album as some would have you believe........2005-09-17

This was not Alexander O'Neal's best or most ambitious album but it was much better than most of the R&B CDs of its time. The various producers he worked with gave him some first-rate material and he superbly covers everything from hard-hitting funk to sexy and seductive Quiet Storm ballads. All in all, "Lovers Again" is not O'Neal's most prolific album but (still) no fan of his should pass it up, either.

Alexander O'Neal in the House.......2003-05-16

1996, 5 years after the chart topping "All True Man" album, 3 years after the dissapointment of the "Love Makes No Sense" album, Alexander O'Neal is back with his Fifth proper album. And he does not dissapoint.
Most people know him from the days of the song "Criticize" and when he sold out 8 consecutive nights at wembley.
This album was his lastest set in 1996.

Track 1
Do You Right
Alexander O'Neal at his funkiest. Keeping along the same lines as the hits "Criticize" and "Fake" , this song is the best on the album. Its soulful funk and its outstanding.

Track 2
Lets Get Together
Mellows a little, but still keeps slightly upbeat. Its a nice song, not the stongest lyrically but Alex delivers it well.

Track 3
Lovers Again
The title track and basically a love song. "We've been through good and bad times, had our cloudy days". Alex keeps it real and keeps that element of love goings strong.

Track 4
Can You stand the Rain
In my opinion this is the albums weakest track. But when Alex gets his voice on any track, it can't be that bad!

Track 5
Baby Come to me (duet with Cherelle)
After the top 10 hit in 1985 with "Saturday Love" when he first teamed up with Cherelle, Alex once again does a duet. This time around its a cover. Nothing spectacular but a good cover.

Track 6
No One But You
A storming track. Funky but a real love song. Alex just knows how to please the women - and this certainly will.

Track 7
Body Talkin'

Like track six alex mixes his funk soul style with lyrics to melt most girls hearts.

Track 8
More Than My Heart Can Stand
Love your girl? Broke up with her? Want her back? This song has all these emotions. Real soul music.

Track 9
Carry On
Sounds a bit like Boyz II Men "End Of The Road". Can't fault it too much but one of the lesser tracks on this album.

Track 10
Sneakin'
Alex takes a change from his normal side and gets down with some new style RnB. Hes on the same level here as the like of R Kelly. This song really does testement to his vocal ability

Track 11
Sleepin
Like the previous track its some rouch edged RnB with a real sexual theme. Its Alexander O'Neal in a nutshell

Track 12
Our Love
Along the same lines of track 2. Its a nicely put together song but a bit too corny for my liking.

Track 13
Grind
Excellent. Should have been a single here. Its top quality RnB/Soul and its vocally his best song on the album.

Overall
Its just Alexander O'Neal doing his Thang in a way he can only do.
Yes Luther is good and has had his hits. But Love Soul is Alex's department

This is not it.......2000-08-22

I purchased this cd because I miss Alexander O'Neal, and I'm annoyed that I can no longer get the All True Man cd. (Mine was stolen during a move) Anyway, I purchased this one but it does not make the grade. Alex, Jam and Lewis need to make amends or do whatever is necessary to bring this talent back. He was to make a severe mark on the industry when the NY Times wrote an outstanding write for his work on the All True Man cd. Jam and Lewis was onto something but whatever the situation was, they let him go. Hey Amazon, why don't you try and get this cd for us?

A difficult listen..........2003-09-25

What she recorded in the 60s is fantastic, and she's undoubtedly the one opera singer who crossed over into pop successfully, but her pitch problems are abundant here, and it makes this, and in fact, the entire Reference Recordings issues a difficult listen.

The Best Kept Secret.......2000-04-26

Alec Wilder is one of America's most unknown compser-lyricists. He is also one of the best. Even people in the know are only aware of "While We're Young", "I'll Be Around", and "It's So Peaceful in the Country". For years, I thought he only wrote ballads. This album, along with the sets by Marlene Ver Planck, Vic Juris, Marion McPartland, and Jackie and Roy Kral have opened my ears to the beauty and complex magic of Wilder's work. Loonis McGlohon is close to the tastiest accompanist in the business today and he keeps Ms. Farrell swinging. Anyone intersted in the finest American music needs to check out this set.

One More Great Percy Faith Twofer by Collectables.......2006-02-12

Two big qualities distinguish the late Percy Faith.

First of all he was an original arranger with all those strings combined as if in a brass section in a unique sound. Second of all, he was a staff arranger for Columbia Records what gave him the opportunity to work on memorable albums by Johnny Mathis and other singers.

This twofer shows two different approaches: the first 12 takes came from his splendid album 'The Love Godessess' full of Mr. Faith's own compositions for films and TV series like 'The Virginian'. They're such inspired songs like the title song and 'Celia's Waltz'.

The second 12 takes came from another album with a miscellaneous movie soundtrack repertoire. They're such great songs by great composers but Mr. Faith's arrangements do not add any special flavor to the originals.

A special note on Collectables Records regarding its extraordinary series of twofers which have finally issued virtually all Percy Faith material.

"Miklos Rozsa epic film scores ~ Percy Faith".......2003-07-04

Every week I would go to the downtown library and check out the latest albums (LP's) ~ my eyes would always look for the Percy Faith releases. One of my favorites was "The Love Goddesses", featuring compositions by Maestro Faith, something about his string arrangements drew me to this album. At that time I had a reel-to-reel recorder/player and cassette recorder, would tape every album by Mr. Faith I could get my hands on. Later I would go to Webster Records the local record store in Old Webster, Mo. and purchase his latest releases.

Entire album is a stand out, but here are some of the highlights ~ "MARILYN", beautiful haunting melody as strings and counter strings open, blending a harp that keeps reoccurring in your head ~ "THE VAMP", solo clarinet with plunking violins, enters the solo violin and full strings answer, simply beautiful ~ "OUR LOVE", is typical Percy Faith with an arrangement to die for ~ "CELIA'S WALTZ", a solo saxophone comes forward with counterpoints from Faith's famous string section, the melody gets under your skin and becomes intoxicating ~ "OBA! (BOSSA NOVA)", what is a Percy Faith album without Latin flavor, and this is what he does best.

Second half of the album is "Hollywood's Great Themes", opening with "EL CID(LOVE THEME), "THEME FROM KING OF KINGS" and "BEN HUR(LOVE THEME)" the legendary Miklos Rozsa could do no wrong when it came to epic films, Faith's brilliant arrangement puts the listener right up there on the big screen ~ "MARIA", the wonderful song from "West Side Story" that will go one forever ~ "THEME FROM LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA", a heart-wrenching film with a light floating melody that lingers on, just take a listen to Faith's strings in top form ~ what a classic arrangement from the git-go!

Total Time: 72:52 on 24 Tracks ~ Collectables 7478 ~ (3/19/2002)

Uneven outing for Faith.......2002-05-20

This twofer, with over 70 minutes of music, provides a showcase for Faith-penned tunes and some lesser known hits from Hollywood. The Love Goddess finds the Faith arrangements full of his trademark strings, but several hits are distinctive in that Faith employs the brassiness of a big band sound, especially on Cheesecake. Keystone Kapers, with whistles and bells, is forgetful, but other selections are an easy listen. Hollywood's Great Themes contains selections that certainly would not make anyone's list of great themes from Hollywood. Would you pick the love theme from Ben Hur, or the theme from Light in the Piazza, or how about Over and Over Again from Jumbo? The only real Hollywood classic here is Moon River, though Faith does add a smattering of Richard Rodgers, with Hart and Hammerstein.

Love Goddesses/Hollywoods Great Themes.......2002-03-23

The Love Goddesses from 1964 is a fairely good album by Faith and oneI'm glad to add to my collection.This album is more jazzeier than a lot of Faith's other albums.Some songs are very lush such as Marilyn Our Love,The Monoco Theme,The Love Goddess,Chico Bolero,and Celia's Waltz.The other songs on this album are upbeat with incarnations of jazz especially Cheesecake.Oba is a bossa nova and is pretty good.All songs from the Love Goddesses album was written by Percy Faith himself.Hollywood's Great Themes from 1962 is movie themes and some are very good.This album features light strings with the exception of the last two Theme From The Four Horseman Of The Apocalypse and Theme From Light In The Plazza These two have heavy strings.My favorite is Splendor In The Grass.This album was only available on cassette several years ago beforecollectibles,taragon,good music and ranwood came along with Faith reissiues.Back then only 4 albums were out by Faith and 2 cassettes this one and Deep Purple which were hard to find than.Liner Notes are included for the Love Goddesses but are not included for Hollywoods Great Themes.Another great 2 on 1 album with 2 great albums by Faith.
