It's no wonder they call Mozart a genius!.......2006-12-26

This is a fabulous recording done back in 1969 in West Germany. The London Symphony Orchestra plays Mozart with impeccable taste and precision while the amazing voices of Werner Krenn and Tom Krause serenade you with a beautiful operatic rendition of Mozart's famous Masonic pieces. This is a must have for any classical, opera, or Masonic music lover!

The whole career of one of the greatest singers of all time.......2007-01-14

I could nor beleive my eyes when I saw the price of this recording. It covers the whole career of the greatest Wagner and Strauss singer in the last half of the 20th Century. I think the whole performance of Ariadne of Naxos allurs in the archives of the Swedish Broadcasting company - a release, please!
When the news arrived that La Nilsson hade died in her home, surrounded by family members and near friends, on Christmas Day 2005 (kidneys not functioning, and no more dialysis possible) - we at once underrstand her uniquiness - there was nobody there to take over the helm and shield....It is quite wonderful that this eextensive compilation was published just recently. It is a very worthy portrait of a blessed singer!

Birgit Sings Like Sweetness.......2007-01-08

This is the first time I had heard Birgit Nilsson sing. The CD was great. However, I did have to blast the music because it is the original recording on the CD. Besides the quality it is worth purchasing if you want to hear one of the best. Her voice is clear and sweet, and welcoming to the ears.

A Document In The Grand Career Of Birgit Nilsson (1918-2005).......2006-03-23

The great soprano from Sweden, Birgit Nilsson, once contemplated suicide when she met with dismal reviews in her first perfomrance as Agathe from Weber's Die Freitschutz, for she was inexperienced and fresh out of the farm she grew up in. She went on to become the greatest dramatic soprano of all time, and for me, she is an even more thrilling and masterful soprano than the overrated Maria Callas. Birgit Nilsson died of unknown causes in her hometown of Sweden on Christmas of '05 only months ago. Her huge, steely, bright, metallic voice was reportedly capable of breaking glass and stone. This album covers many years in her career. Her Ariadne is not well known and it's captured in a young voice (50's) and she is in phenomenal shape. The dramatic heft of the role is suited to her voice. Wagner was her specialty of course and here we have slices of her Elisabeth from Tannhauser. She also sang Venus. Isolde was another great role of hers (the one she debuted at the Met) and Brunhilde is of course her best role. Singing Strauss is no piece of cake but when we listen to her Salome and Elektra and Dryer's Wife from Die Frau we are hearing a woman who, despite age, is singing with strength and vigor. She gets into character each time and she sings beautifully. All fans of La Nilsson must get this one.

Great.......2003-08-20

This is a very good CD for people who follow Birgit Nilsson's development. It contains live performances from 1949 (Ariadne auf Naxos - Nilsson sang Ariadne!!) to 1977 (Dyer's Wife in Die Frau Ohne Schatten). You can see her development from young to old over close to 30 years. For someone like me who have many of Birgit Nilsson's commercial recordings, this is a great CD too because it allows me to compare her 'live' performances with the studio recordings. It also enables me to see how her voice developed over the years. For instance, her voice grew in warm as she progressed in her career. By 1977, her voice had lost some ease - you can tell that she has to sing with more effort but her top register is still amazing, the gleam is still there even if it is more effortful to produce (when I say effortful I mean by young Birgit Nilsson standards - if you compare with other singers, she still sings effortlessly). Imagine - by 1977, she was 59 and she still puts singers singers half her age at 30 to shame. A very interesting CD in very mono sound. 5 stars for Nilsson's superb performances (her vocalism never fails to amaze me), for a fantastic variety of excerpts, for very mono sound, for the historical importance of this CD and for the incredible bargain price ... for 2 CDs.

If you are a 'historical' freak, buy this. If you are a Birgit Nilsson freak, buy this. If you are an opera freak, buy this. Even if you are not a freak, buy this!!

Clarification of the lyrics.......2007-05-19

Just wanted to clarify some of the lyrics for those interested (based on another reviewer's remarks). The vocalist says "Ich fahre [am] liebsten schwartz." Schwartz fahren literally means to "ride black" but figuratively means to ride without paying.

Listen to the song again with that in mind and it takes on a whole new meaning (think juvenile scofflaw).

About the lyrics...........2006-07-20

First off, I love this song, no matter the edit. Many people wonder what the lyrics mean. "Ich fahr omnibus" pretty much means I go by bus. Shuj langsum, i think, basically means the quiet slowly "shuj" means "hush" I believe. And this is where things become mostly an educated guess, but to me it makes sense. gibsen schwarts I think is meant to refer to a black guitar, schwarts is "black" loosly translated and gibsen is a brand of guitar. Now it may be possible that it isnt gibsen like many people think but it could be liebsten which is what I thought it was when I first heard the song which means "dearly" so it could be saying I go dearly black which could be trying to say, in a nice way, that he/she is fading away. which also makes sense because this person is stuck on a bus, things slowly go quiet, and finally fades away into black. And I have noticed that many trance/techno/house songs sound happy but if you listen to the lyrics they arent always plesant. Remember. These are my theories, and theories only lol.

Fast shipping, great product........2005-09-28

This seller shipped quickly and the product was as described with no skips or scratches on the disc.

Wow........2005-01-20

Omnibus is the best song I've ever heard. It's definately my favorite song. I've actually fallen asleep listening to it, and let's just say that dreams don't get better than the complex ones you have when you fall alseep listening to Omnibus. Most songs don't really evoke feeling in me, but something about Omnibus does. It's the song I listen to when I contemplate the universe (seriously).

And if you say it's a rip-off of Sandstorm, let me say that Lautsprecher has more to offer. I've also heard Computer, Ein Bier Fur Den DJ, and Traumresise (not sure how to spell that). I personally didn't see any similarity between the two before someone said it was a ripoff, and I think the similarities are still only vague.

I just wish I knew what shuj, gibsen, and schwarts meant, because then I'd know all the lyrics.

Darude ripoff? I think not!.......2005-01-10

I've seen a lot of commentary that Omnibus rips off Darude's "Sandstorm". I enjoy Darude. I see the similarity - Yes, it has the same beat, the same key, and uses the same synth sounds. But the similarity ends there.

Omnibus takes Darude's idea and manages to give it something sorely lacking in a lot of electronic music (I'd say "trance", but it has a very danceable beat) - A melodic hook. After hearing Omnibus, I now consider Sandstorm (which I formerly found acceptible but a tad boring) all-but *painful* to listen to. It comes so close, but falls short of the perfection Lautsprecher managed.

Okay, short summary - Ignore the elitists, and buy this CD. I consider it probably the best single I've bought in the past year.

Here the beautiful-voiced Deborah Voigt tackles music her sound is made for: big, powerful moments from works of Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner. All 10 selections are handsomely sung, with gleaming, even tone, and some are true standouts. Elisabeth's Greeting from Tannhaeuser is sort of matter-of-fact, but both of Sieglinde's solos from Walküre are filled with urgency and depth and seem to be happening in real time. Ariadne's monolog is suitably ethereal and fantastic (in the true sense of the word) and the "chunks" from Die Frau ohne Schatten and Chrysothemis's monolog from Elektra, though weird out of context, are vocal showpieces. Her Isolde is nuanced and potent, if without the ultimate rage in the Narrative and Curse or the heavenly transfiguration of the Liebestod, and the final scene of Salome, ravishingly sung, does not quite probe this character's berserk Freudian issues. But she's a remarkable singer and this CD is sure to delight; one can bathe in her warm, rich sound. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:

The Opera ain't over.............2007-06-18

This review is kind of dated; since this album was released, the fat lady had lost a bunch of weight. Miss Voigt got some unfortunate publicity a couple of years ago when Covent Garden paid off her contract, and fired her due to her excess poundage. I don't question their right to do that, but I do question the sanity of anyone who fires the greatest Wagnerian of our day. That event triggered her big weight loss, and she's back at Covent Garden. What do audiences want? Every High School has plenty of girls who look great in skimpy costumes, but, can they sing this music? Please...great Wagner singers are MUCH rarer than great heart surgeons. Flagstad wasn't anything to look at, and Schumann-Heink was massive, BUT, they could do justice to Wagner. Helen Traubel? There are exceptions to everything.

This is a truly wonderful album...Wagner and Strauss did not write for weaklings. Miss Voigt makes Sieglinde and Isolde come alive; her voice is both massive and beautiful. What we have here is 68 minutes of the finest singing of really tough music available in our day. The "Tristan und Isolde" excerpts are alone worth the price, but the whole recording is a joy.

A Wonderful Wagner and Strauss Recital.......2007-04-04

When I first heard this CD, I didn't think much of Deborah Voigt since I had heard her during her earlier days singing Mathilde in Rossini's Gugliemo Tell with the conductor Evelino Pido. Her timbre at that time was so creamy and rich and beautiful, and as I heard her over the years, I noticed that the qualities that made her such a promising singer in that Tell were not present in this recording. I also heard her do some Verdi roles in the Met, parts that were obviously not suited to her cooler, Germanic sound. A few days ago, after listening to a broadcast of her spectacular Salome from Chicago last fall and her recent Agyptische Helena from the Met, I have to say that I have never been more amazed by this soprano.

Of course, Voigt is no Nilsson, but who else was? I don't think Inge Borkh, Gwyneth Jones, Ursula Schröder-Feinen, Leonie Rysanek, or Hildegard Behrens ever equalled the great Swede in terms of power and focus, and neither will Voigt. But what Voigt has that Nilsson does not is a warmth and a grain to her voice, making Voigt's portrayals of her heroines sound more human than godlike compared to the stentorian Brünnhilde. Voigt's Sieglinde, Ariadne, Elisabeth, Isolde, Salome, Kaiserin, and Chrysothemis are all magnificent characterizations with a human, womanly touch to them. This recital allows the listener to hear showpieces that reflect her talent as a German dramatic soprano, and the listener is immediately drawn by the care to which Voigt lavishes on these selections. Dich Teure Halle is sung with the bright, happy, pure sound one associates with Elisabeth, and if it not a personalized portrayal of the heroine, it certainly is a perfectly sung one. Of the two selections from Die Walküre, Der Männer Sippe is sung with urgent drive, showing us once again that Deborah is the best Sieglinde of our day. She sings Du Bist der Lenz with rapture and beauty, and one would have hoped that she could have partnered Ben Heppner or Domingo to finish the remainder of Act I in this CD. The selections from Tristan are sung with vocal opulence that reminds us how Voigt is quickly becoming one of the best Isoldes today. The Narration from Act I is sung like a powerhouse of rage and sarcasm, and the Liebestod is perfectly sung, albeit lacking that sense of apotheosis that characterized Nilsson and Flagstad in their singing of the part. Although these excerpts were Voigt's starting forays into Isolde, she already shows security and intelligence in this cornerstone of the dramatic soprano repertoire.

The next half of the recital shows Voigt's talents in the Straussian roles where her voice is put to its best use. Unlike the Wagner selections, these Straussian excerpts don't seem to lend as well to cutting, but they nonetheless give the listener an idea of Voigt's mastery of the Straussian idiom. Her large, creamy, grainy voice is ideal for Chrysothemis, and I have never heard Ariadne sung better in these recent years. Voigt is easily the equal of Rysanek as the empress, the steely sheen of her voice perfect for the luminscent character of the Kaiserin. She closes the recital with the final scene from Salome, a selection that shows Voigt's exploration of another dramatic role that she assumed to great acclaim last fall in Chicago. All in all, a great recital, and one would only hope that she had been partnered by a more sensitive conductor like Christian Thielemann.

Absolutely Smitten!.......2005-12-30

Generally, I dislike the "new crop" of singers. It's rare, if ever, that I find a singer that can rival the singers of the Golden era. On this album, however, Deborah Voigt does exactly that. This album is a perfect showpiece for how absolutely SOLID the voice is from absolute tip-top to the very depths of her chest voice. In the rarely performed excerpts from Die Frau Ohne Schatten, Voigt tackles the extremely high tessitura effortlessly, pouring forth walls of sound. The rest of the album, from Es Gibt Ein Reich to Du bist der Lenz, follows in the same vein. The tone is always golden, gorgeous, and shining. The top has just enough metal in it to ride the orchestra, but not overly much.

The listener certainly gets the distinct impression that Madame Voigt could sing like this for an eternity, and heaven knows I wanted her to! She wields her voice like a spear; shining and golden. There is a homogenous quality to the voice that is unrivalled by most of her contemporaries. Deborah Voigt sings like a force of nature; I got the impression that she could even overpower the orchestra, if she so chose. That type of singing, uneffected and gorgeous, is certainly exciting no matter what the case.

Not since Birgit Nilsson have I heard such a huge, solid instrument. Certainly Nilsson has some advantages over Voigt; namely experience. If Voigt keeps heading in the inimitable direction she is making for herself, she is destined to be one of the very greatest sopranos of this century.

Brava Madame Voigt!

Divine Deborah.......2005-12-24

Deborah Voigt is perhaps today's newes Eileen Farrell. Like Farrell, she's unabashedly American, doesn't care for the spotlight or the "diva" lifestyle and has a voice that is beautiful, huge, steely and dramatically satisfying. Debora Voight is, sadly, underrated, like Farrell was in her own time (the 60's and 70's). It is possible that Renee Fleming albums sell more than Voigt albums. But I really think she is a dynamic singer and this album is her best showcase. With a voice that is stronger and more dramatic than the light-toned Fleming, Voigt excells in such roles as Aida, Ariadne, Brunhilde, Tosca and other heavy lyric roles. She is a masterful singer of the Strauss and Wagner repertoire. Especially noteworthy is her renditions of Elisabeth's "Hall Aria" from Tannhauser. This aria has not been recorded in quite a long while and Voight joins such great Wagnerian divas as Kirsten Flagstad and Birgit Nilsson as possibly the greatest Wagnerian sopranos. Her Brunhilde from Die Walkure is a revelation, especially how she sings "Du Bist der Lenz" and "Der Manner Sippe". Such beauty and power! The same beautiful and fearsome power is given to Isolde's Invective "Curse" Aria "We Ach Wehe". In contrast, she softens her voice to the beautiful strains of the Liebestod, full of passion and romantic euphoria. Her Elektra is phenomenal, and here we are treated to Chrysothemis' Scene. It was the opera Ariadne of Naxos at London's Covent Garden where Voigt was slighted because "she was too fat" for the costumes that the art director had in mind. Well, BS! Voigt has a great voice and makes a fine Ariadne, surpassing even Jessye Norman in modern recording. And her Salome is to die for. The Final Scene, in which Salome rhaposidizes her necrophilic feelings for John the Baptist, is terrifying in its power. No doubt she is the best American soprano of our time.

RECOMMENDED FOR WAGNER OR STRAUSS BEGINNERS.......2004-12-14

One word: Awesome! this is a must have. The selection of arias is great, specially Walkure, Tannhauser (Dich teure halle!!) and the Liebestod of Isolde. The final scene of Salome is the highlight of this cd. TNo wonder is one of the best classical cds of the year. 5 stars! Recommended!!

A Wonderful Portrait.......2004-08-07

This compilation album of recitals and operatic performances featuring "her royal" Grace is long overdue. Grace Bumbry's fiery interpretations have garnered praise the world over, and this compilation features several of her calling card roles, in addition to roles many thought would put a stop to her career.
This intimate portrait of sorts allows one to hear first hand how roles such as Santuzza, Tosca, Salome, and both Aida and Amneris should be sung. Ms. Bumbry's dramatic interpretations of roles often sung by lyric sopranos give these "dramatic" heroines new life.
Of the 2 CD set, the second CD is the most valuable, for it includes several in depth interviews with "her Grace" and allows the listener to witness first hand a proud (not arrogant) diva whose self assured attitude found its way into her concert and operatic performances and sustained this singer who I feel is the greatest living mezzo/soprano of our day!

A Well Deserved Portrait.......2002-07-15

These CDs show a wonderful artist. Grace has an amazing voice and tackles several roles well. Also great is her interpretation of one of Dvorak's song cycle. The treasures in the set are the interviews which I think allow us to hear how Grace interprets her rolls and it shows a bit of sass on her part. Wonderful set for a wonderful artist.
