Lanza in (mostly) top form.......2004-11-28

This is a "twofer" CD, consisting of the 1955 soundtrack to the movie Serenade and the 1956 Cavalcade of Show Tunes album. Before I go any further, however, I should acknowledge that I was one of the liner note writers for this release. But I have no financial interest in the CD, and am simply reviewing it here because to date no one else has commented on it!

Serenade marked Lanza's return to films after an absence of three years, and revealed a voice that had darkened considerably, while still retaining its brilliant upper register. Stylistically, this is also a much-improved artist in many respects from the sometimes-wayward tenor of the early 1950s. Anyone who compares Lanza's superbly operatic renditions here of Amor Ti Vieta, Lamento di Federico, and O Paradiso with his earlier versions (all featured on the CD Mario Lanza Sings Opera Arias and Duets) will immediately detect the new-found control in his singing.

That's not to say that all of the Serenade material is outstanding. Lanza's renditions of Nessun Dorma, O Soave Fanciulla, Di Quella Pira, and the title song are below par, with the tenor uncharacteristically strained in the upper register and rough in his approach. But redeeming everything are the oustanding renditions of the arias mentioned in the previous paragraph, together with Lanza's sensitive singing of Di Rigori Armato from Der Rosenkavalier, a superb Torna a Surriento, and an unsurpassed Dio! Mi Potevi Scagliar from Otello. Lanza also recorded the Act III duet from Otello with Licia Albanese for this film, but time constraints have reduced it to a brief extract here. (The entire duet, however, can be heard on the aforementioned Arias & Duets CD.)

The other album featured here showcases the romantic side of Lanza. Beautifully recorded, Cavalcade includes passionate renditions of Yours is My Heart Alone, Only a Rose, Will You Remember, and other selections from operetta and musical comedy. Although Lanza may indeed be *too* zestful here for some tastes, vocally at least, he is at the height of his powers. The voice is rich and round - gloriously consistent throughout its registers - and the abundance of effortless B flats, Bs, and even a high C reveal a tenor in formidable form.

Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

The young John McCormack........2004-05-26

Selected for inclusion in this second John McCormack CD issued by Naxos are Irish songs he recorded between the years 1910 and 1921. Don't expect the John McCormack aged 25 in 1910 to have the interpretative skills evident in his later years, but the voice was already compelling in its unique nasal tenor quality, and recording processes of the time captured it well.

The songs themselves are less distinguished. They met the demand for ditties that recalled a long lost homeland for a large population of USA immigrants. McCormack made a fortune by meeting this need, so that performing and recording them enabled him to give up the career in opera that he disliked.

These Naxos transfers and remasterings make these very old recordings sound better than in any other incarnation I have ever heard while magically eliminating most of the surface hiss that formerly was so intrusive.

Excellent.......2006-06-25

These are old recordings, so quality isn't perfect, but these are beautiful songs, beautifully sung. Considering you get two discs, it's a bargain.

not enough bang for the buck.......2006-04-28

It seems a crime that, in order to get John McCormack singing "I'm Falling in Love with Some One," you have to shell out big bucks for this CD. I can't abide opera, and there are too many arias here sung in foreign languages to justify a capital investment. McCormack also does a striking rendition of "Because," which is missing from this CD. maybe we'll get lucky and Archeophone will put together a few disks, all in English, and I'd pay their price, steep though it usually is.

I still love You Maureen O'Hara!.......2001-04-14

This is one of my favorite collections of old-time Irish/American love songs. The artists, largely unknown by today's younger generation, were very well known to American radio and TV audiences of the 40's 50's and 60's. Maureen O'Hara, Frank Parker, Pat Harrington, Carmel Quinn, Brendan O'Dowda, and Morton Downey all do what they did best for their time. But the best of the lot is the old movie super-star Maureen O'Hara, for years regarded as the Quintessential Irish Beauty. She performs the traditional ballads: COME BACK TO ERIN, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT NIGHT, LOVE? NEXT MARKET DAY, NORA LEE, I ONCE LOVED A BOY, GIVE HIM TO ME, and HE MOVED THROUGH THE FAIR with genuine style and grace. And Carmel Quinn's throaty renditions of DOONAREE, SPINNING WHEEL, and IF I WERE A BLACKBIRD are exceptional. This collection "Come Back to Erin," along with the companion CDs, "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" and "They Call it Ireland" are about the only places one can find O'Hara and Quinn these days, although I've noticed most of the others on various older LP and cassette collections.

Although Erin Boone is not a household name, her debut album is sure to turn a few heads. A talented young singer/ songwriter, Erin delivers a genuine feeling to her songs with honest lyrics and catchy tunes. Refusing to stick to a particular style, the album features a hodge-podge of musical styles including pop, bluegrass, blues, and gospel, in a mix that is sure to please everyone. This album is truly a wonderful debut and hopefully Erin's subsequent releases will only get better from here.

John McCormack - Rare Recordings 1904-1942.......2003-02-15

This CD was most welcome to my collection. I have a fair number of McCormack originals, mostly from 1910 - 1927. It is especially interesting to be able to hear the extremes, beginning and end. McCormack was probably THE singer of his age in that he sang well, everything from Sonny Boy to Il Mio Tesoro. One critic wrote that he never stooped to material that was beneath him, but raised it to his level. It was interesting to me that he did not spring from his singing master's loin, fully developed, but spent seven years as a professional singer developing his skills. We see his promising beginning with the 1904 sessions. If I have a complaint about the set, it is with these transfers. Paul Wolf, in his John McCormack Home Page, discusses the debate between playing the G.T.&T. records at 72 or 76.6 rpm. I would guess that this set uses the slower speed. If this is so, Mr. Worth is indeed right. They sound too slow, almost to the point of slurred speach. Unfortunately, these are the only first recordings which I have been able to find on the market. The rest of the collection is fine and includes many rarities, including unissued test pressings from McCormack's personal collection. As he aged, his voice diminished while his skill as a singer increased. Even at the end of his career, he did not make a bad record. Despite my complaint, I would not deny myself this album, nor should anyone who wants to hear the beginning and conclusion of an incredible career.

"I'm sorry .... my light has gone out.".......2003-04-15

I met only one person who remembered hearing Melba sing. He had been present, as a young man, at a performance of “La Boheme”. So perfect was her Mimi, he told me, that he never wanted to spoil his recollection by seeing any other soprano in the role.

Buy this second CD of her complete London Gramophone Company recordings and you’ll not only hear her singing Mimi’s two arias, you’ll also see her on the cover carrying a candle holder with an unlit candle. Alas, the real thing is only faintly indicated. Mimi’s first aria is truncated. The voice is recorded at very low volume with piano accompaniment that is barely audible. It is not a poor flower maker in an attic that we see on the CD cover, asking for assistance to relight her candle, it is a richly-dressed diva carrying a candleholder through an inner door of an elegant London apartment.

All of which typifies for me the disparity that I always find myself up against when exposed to the Melba of repute and the Melba of the Gramophone recordings. Did all sopranos in their mid-40s record as unsuccessfully as this in the years 1905 and 1906?
