Sigmund Romberg

Richard Robinson, Sigmund Romberg, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

Romberg never sounded better!
I am one of those who, as a great fan and collector of operetta songs, find this album (actually a compilation of 3 LPs from 1963) the single most brilliant one ever recorded. There are very few singers who could get so completely into the spirit of the songs and ...

Best of Act One

Anthony Warlow, Benny / Ulvaeus, Bjorn / Anderson, Stig Andersson, ...

Universal International, 2003

Best Of The Best!
Wow This CD Got Me Hooked! I just had to buy every one of his CDs after this. Experience here, the Best songs of the BEST SINGER! Australia's #1 singer, Anthony Warlow is known internationally for his role as Enjolras in Les Miserables from the 'Complete Symphonic ...

Love's Old Songs

John Wall Callcott, Noel Coward, ...

Mastersong, 2001

VERY ROMANTIC AND BEAUTIFUL SONGS FOR EVERYONE!!
I LOVED this CD and have listened to it most of the day! Obviously, the tracks were reproduced from old recordings and hence are just a bit scratchy, but that only adds to their charm. Had the scratches been TOTALLY removed, sound quality would have been lost. It's a ...

Lanza: Greatest Hits

Georges Bizet, Nicholas Brodszky, ...

RCA, 1995

Vintage Lanza
Excellent product. CD just as described and fast delivery. Love Mario Lanza and his voice.

The Mario Lanza Collection (3CD)

Irving Aaronson, Beelby, ...

RCA Victor, 1991

Selections from the Greatest Voice of the Last Hundred Years
Mario Lanza was, arguably, the greatest tenor and greatest singer of this and the last century. It is difficult to appreciate him without listening to a variety of selections. This collection has some of his best recordings and exhibits the versatility and variety ...

San Francisco and Other Jeanette MacDonald Favorites

Stephen Adams, Benson, ...

RCA, 1991

A MUST for any Jeanette fan!
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 ...

Songs of Romance, Vol. 1

Joseph Brooks, Claude Debussy, ...

Ranwood Records, 1997

Romancing Romance
I have been in love with Zamfir's music since 1982 or so, when I listened in a radio station his fabulous renderng of the --''Theme From Limelight''. I called the radio station, gor the artist's name and album title and went out to a record store and bought it. I ...

My Secret Heart - Songs of Parlour, Stage and Screen

Ben Heppner, Vittorio Giannini, ...

RCA, 1999

What a 'crossover' album should be!
In general, I hate it when classical singers make 'crossover' recordings. Usually the singer has no idea how to sing 'pop' material in anything like the proper style - even someone who is singing it because he or she genuinely likes the music and not just to milk cash ...

The Desert Song / The New Moon

Sigmund Romberg, Oscar Hammerstein II, ...

Decca Broadway, 2002

The Desert Song/The New Moon
I have loved the music of The Desert Song since I first saw it, starring Dennis Morgan, in the cinema many, many years ago, and then the Gordeon McCrae version on TV. I think the Dennis Morgan one was better, or perhaps I may be prejudiced as I have an unfortunate ...

Sweethearts: A Collection of Operetta Favorites

Rudolf Friml, Victor Herbert, ...

Newport Classic, 1999

True Sweethearts!
What a wonderful collaboration! Both Mr. White and Ms. Futral are superior solo vocalists, yet this husband/wife pair complement each other very well. I'm looking forward to more of the same!

When I Grow Too Old to Dream
Sigmund Romberg, Donald Hunsberger, ...

Arabesque Recordings, 1992

Thomas Hampson: An Old Song Re-Sung - American Concert Songs

Armen Guzelimian, Charles Wakefield Cadman, ...

Angel Records, 1991

Charming songs, beautifully sung
This is not just an album of chestnuts. Hampson's love for the material shines through. His performance is always just right. His voice is warm, velvety, and wonderful! "In the Gloaming" and "Roses in Picardy" will bring you to tears, but my favorite is "Do not ...

Be My Love: Essential Collection
Irving Aaronson, Adolphe Adam, ...

Essential Gold, 2004

The Stanford Archive Series: Richard Crooks

Thomas Arne, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Delos Records, 1997

Richard Crooks: A Fine Man and a Master Singer
I most heartily agree with what the earlier reviewer has written of Richard Crooks and of this excellent Stanford Archive set. The 2 CD set is a most welcome release, and I note that, for now at least, one seller has it available at the bargain price of $14.95. ...

Because of You

James Carroll Bartlett, J. A.. Butterfield, ...

Asv Living Era, 2004

More from my favorite tenor
Jan Peerce was one of the most versatile singers of the twentieth century. Not only 26 seasons as a star tenor at the Metropolitan Opera. On the concert stage, in Yiddish music and cantorial exercises, in Las Vegas, and near the end of his career as Tevye in "Fiddler ...
