About the Artist
Adrian Antonescu and Anthony Petosa teamed up over twenty years ago after a chance meeting at a music conference. They hit it off from the beginning, sharing a commonality in their musical tastes and pursuits. Mr. Antonescu was no newcomer to the scene, having had already achieved acclaim in Europe as a singer/songwriter. While a solo artist, he also traveled extensively with many top bands, and he achieved critical acclaim for his compositions on many occasions. A mainstay of television and radio, Mr. Antonescu became one his country’s most beloved and respected artists. At the time of their encounter, Anthony Petosa had been involved in numerous recording projects, both as performer and arranger. He honed his arranging skills while working toward his degree in composition/arranging.

During their long-time collaboration, they wrote and produced several top ten hits in Europe, all of which achieved the number one position. On two different occasions they appeared in the Global Music Pulse section of the industry giant, Billboard Magazine. In 1994 they were awarded the "Producer of the Year" award for the album "Un Pod Peste Ocean" ("A Bridge Over The Ocean") by the legendary Romanian singer/composer/actress & UNICEF humanitarian Margareta Paslaru.

Currently they have focused their efforts in the area of children’s music. More specifically, they recently produced a series of lullabies on several compact disks. In keeping with their high musical standards, the pair committed themselves to reinventing the lullaby into an exceptionally unique, musical soundscape that can be enjoyed by both child and adult. The pair continues to work in this and other genres.

Product Description
In all walks of life, there is a universal bond between mother and child. These are the lullabies that mothers from around the world sing to their babies. We invite you to sing them to yours. These musical treasures are enjoyed all around the globe. This compact disk combines selections from two other CDs in this series, "Sleepy Clouds" and "Garden Of Dreams", as sung by the female vocalists on those disks.

5 out of 5 stars Queen of Songs.......2007-07-29

I received this CD 'San Fracisco and other Jeanette MacDonald Favorites' a few days ago and have listened to it carefully several times. She is about a generation before my time; so far I have seen only two pictures of her: 'San Francisco' and 'The Merry Widow'. In San Francisco, I discovered she can also sing opera successfully to some degree As for The Merry Widow, I much prefer the later version performed by Lana Turner and Fernando Lamas although Turner didn't sing by herself in the film and Lamas is a lot more convincing than Maurice Chevalier as a Casanova type beau; to be truthful, I can't stand grandpa Chevalier. I beleive I also saw another of her movie which she played quite late in her career because she played mother to Jane Powell, this one I saw in the theater in my teenage days, for your information, I saw almost every MGM musicals in those heyday years. Unfortunately though, I don't quite remember the story of it, but I do remember vaguely that MacDonald sang Un bel di from Puccini's Madama Butterfly and when she sang she formed her mouth so beautifully that one could forget it if she didn't sing well.

One thing I can assert with confidence is that MacDonald is a very beautiful lady oozes with glamour, and is very classy. Classiness was a very prominent and widespread quality of female stars in that era, Lana Turner who played the wealthy merry widow was just one case. If I were to make a list it would occupy a full page, nowadays, it would be impossible to name just three or four female stars with class, no offense, please. Now let me come back to the main subject that is MacDonald's art of singing. Well, she certainly has good vocal technigue, her high note is firm to the very top and she is able to sustain it for a considerable duration as she has displayed quite often in this disc. The voice itself is delicate and sweet, just like her person. However, she tends to sing with monotone which make her singing sounds bland, like no. 4, Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life, may be if she move a notch down the scale it would sound more pleasant. Songs My Mother Taught Me is just about the only song she successfully sings with feelings. Here, I would like to point out that a few songs are worth repeated listenings: Ciribiribin, The Donkey Serenade, Italian Street Song, and of course, Songs My Mother Taught Me.
Songs no. 16 to 22, I'm sorry to say that they are not up to my standard, I have been listening to opera singing for over thirty years you know. I must mention here that MacDonald's French seems very good, I don't know French though, nevertheless, I can tell just by listening

Queen of Songs is a title crowned her by the Chinese people in that time, she was indeed highly esteemed.


5 out of 5 stars Jeanette MacDonald Favorites.......2007-05-13

This CD is an incredible testimony and celebration of an American Master Singer.
A must have for all. An introduction to quality and good taste for a new generation of music lovers.

5 out of 5 stars A MUST for any Jeanette fan!.......2006-04-25

This CD is a gem! The songs included on it are beautiful and show off MacDonald's incredible voice. The best part of this CD, however, is the sound quality. Unlike many of her other recordings, and those featuring her with frequent costar Nelson Eddy, the sound on this CD is pristine, and you can barely tell the recordings are 50+ years old!

4 out of 5 stars Jeanette MacDonald Was Unique.......2001-03-12

It really doesn't matter whether or not she could sing; Jeanette MacDonald was unique. On these old recordings, her voice sounds thin and watery, and contemporary tastes do not respond so readily to the sentimentality and predictability of her movies. But she was a gracious lady and glittering presence on the silver screen. These film songs do suggest the excitement she generated when her movies first appeared. And how many truly major singers she inspired! Joan Sutherland recalled meeting MacDonald a few years before her death. Said Sutherland: "I still had stars in my eyes."

5 out of 5 stars An excellent demonstration of Jeanette MacDonald's artistry.......1998-12-18

The highlights of this Jeanette MacDonald CD include her excellent singing of Delibes' "Les Filles de Cadiz," the Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria," and the "Jewel Song" from "Faust." A much-underrated artist, MacDonald proves here that she can handle a wide range of music, from concert songs and opera arias to familiar tunes from her operetta films. Particularly fine are her renditions of "Only a Rose," and Herbert's "Romany Life" (in spite of an amateurish male chorus). Highly recommended not only as a tribute to filmdom's first lady of song, but also to listeners who enjoy both opera and musical comedy.

Perhaps I should start by admitting a bias: Many years ago, lying on Boston's grassy Esplanade by the Charles River on warm summer nights, I learned what a symphony orchestra should sound like, with Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra. Those concerts were free; these seven compact discs are not--not quite. But for any lover of light classical music, they are certainly one of the best buys available. The orchestra (essentially the Boston Symphony) is one of the world's greatest; the music, from Smoke Gets in Your Eyes to the Goyescas Intermezzo and Ride of the Valkyries is instantly enjoyable and permanently valuable; the conductor is at the same time genial and exacting, convinced that any music you play, no matter how frivolous, deserves the best you can give it. --Joe McLellan

        5 out of 5 stars Away Down In Dixie!.......2005-08-13

        This is a wonderful CD, full of some great, and unique quicksteps. Some favorites are present on the disc as well, as some new ones to myself. The selections come directly from the 19th Virginia's books! A buddy and I recently listened to this CD on the way home from a civil war reenactment, and we agreed that the music was great, and it was made even better by the fact that every other song a narrator came up to describe the upcoming or past song.

        5 out of 5 stars Hidden music found.......2003-07-08

        I've only lately become interested in items regarding the Civil War. I, frankly, was surprised and delighted to find this album which seems to epitomize much of how the South felt at the time.

        Music generally will give very broad hints about various eras and the mood at that time.

        This album with it's superbly played and chosen tunes illustrates this extremly well. The narrative gives the album a feel that is missing in others of this type.

        While this is a specialized type of music, anyone who has any interest in Civil War elements would surely finds this to be a plus in any collection whether one is interested from a Northern or Southern viewpoint.

        I would hope that there might be another album or two of this type that would include music from the North.

        5 out of 5 stars General Lee would be proud.......2003-06-06

        It is clear that the music on this CD is re-created by individuals who care enough to get it right. I was given a copy as a gift by a friend who shares my interest in the Civil War. I think that everything about it is EXCELLENT. You must buy this CD.

        5 out of 5 stars Buy This.......2003-05-02
