Customer Reviews:
The Artistry of Nelson Eddy.......2006-11-04
Nelson Eddy's flawless singing and diction, with a modern orchestral accompaniment, make The Artistry of Nelson Eddy a romantic, sophisticated musical experience.
Artistry of Nelson Eddy.......2006-08-22
Contemporary music which is sung well but voice not as expected of Nelson Eddy. The true baritone of his voice missing. This may be the recording but CD received in good condition.
A Nelson Eddy Tour de Force: Magnificence here on earth.......2006-03-17
I have most of the movies of Nelson Eddy. Together with Jeanette MacDonald, this team produced some of the most romantic movie-operattas ever made. But the sound quality of those movies pale in comparison to the magnificence of this production.
Nelson Eddy has never sounded better, aided (1994) by more modern recording techniques, the quality here (even with a disclaimer) is beyond belief. He has got to be one of the premier baritones of all time. Singing Popular tunes adapted from classical themes, he may be without peer. I have a CD of the young Sinatra singing "Full Moon and Empty Arms" to Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. He is not in the same universe with Eddy, whose crisp diction, timbre, fullness, perfect pitch, and passion ~ YES! PASSION! ~ must be heard (hopefully on on quality audio) to be fully appreciated. This is AWESOME. Maybe the best it gets here on earth. This is a wholly magnificent CD if you appreciate really good music, a fantastic baritone, and have a romantic bone in your body. I am astounded. Until today, I had no idea that Nelson Eddy was this good. This CD proves he was.
For those who are already fans of N.E. only........2003-12-22
Nelson Eddy made these recordings when he was about 60 years old and it shows. He retained an excellent voice for a very long time, allowing him to perform successfully until the day he died. However, this particular recording seems to emphasize vocal decline, in terms of control and range. The problem may be that the songs presented here are mostly VERY GREAT classical orchestral pieces, to which are sung pop lyrics. In my opinion, most (but not all) of the lyrics to these songs are not worthy of their music and are incongruous. The last number, "Alone Together", an excellent Schwartz/Dietz song (which seems out of place with Rachmaninov and Ravel,) is actually a duet with Nelson's partner, Gale Sherwood. It was recorded a couple of years later than the other songs on this album, and is given a bossa nova background that in this mix, practically drowns out the singers! As to the overall sound quality, there are some light snaps and pops as on a record, but the music is loud and clear. I do not mean to discourage Nelson Eddy fans from buying this album. I think you need this album. I own this album. Buy this album, and encourage the release of more albums and radio recordings by Nelson Eddy. What I do mean to say, is that "The Artistry of Nelson Eddy" is not the best introduction to the artistry of Nelson Eddy. His recordings from the 30's, 40's or even 50's are a better purchase for the beginner. Once you love Nelson Eddy, then pick up this album.
A Surefire Way To Turn A Bad Day Into A Good One!.......2003-04-12
The music on this CD is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. It proves that the music of Nelson Eddy is simply timeless. I have always loved his voice, but these arrangements bring out the very best of it. It is highly recommended.

Americana brass not always interesting.......2001-06-25
What is American brass music?, well music played by brass players(not necessarily American citizens) a few steps from the vernacular, the playing(dumming) down to the popular imagination, concerts in the parks, round the lakefront,pops,tunes,hits,marches,declamatory gestures, obvious most of the time, arrogant,imperialistic like Washington's foreign policy designs, yet tender and gentle, unfolding with a large degree of predictability, antique road shows, showing what grandaddy meant to me,to us. That's what the Bolcom piece so obviously does,a trip backwards to the Family Tree Roots, each movement named after an ancestor of this now famous prize-winning American composer. And it's music that unfolds quite nicely, no experimentation, just good brass music, And what is Good brass music??, well music with a tune, you can almost hum, with counterpoint, main line melody and accompaniment,rolls off the pallette. I found this piece quite tedious after a while, i think I got to know the Bolcom Family persona and its engrained sensibility. Ralph Shapey withdrew his music from public performance until 1976,fed up with the American music scene, of cliques, and politics to get a piece played,the indifference toward creativity and real culture, not Hollywood's market concoctions in this country. However he practices what he preaches his music has a strain of dignity,crafted with a dose of experimentalism disciplined within the modernist tradition with a large reliance on classical shapes,forms and structures. Here the french horn has melodic lines screeching/reaching for the upper regions of itself, quite tortured sounding at times and anxiety ridden. Shapey's music has a transgressive side that not all is right with the state of the world. He gets however a tremendous sound from the modest economical of means,with dissonant chordal timbres. The use of the bass trombone instead of tuba was a stroke of genious, in thining out the often dense texture. Reiteration is an important component of Shapey's aesthetic pallette,and here the infusion of gestural madness yet powerfully rendered is quite compelling.The use of mutes is also quite a disturbing element of this work, quite barren. Rhythmic shape is torn from its sockets,meaning each reiteration is displaced upon different beats, and differing pulses are dispersed. This music is direct as well, and in-yer-face yet it resounds from a deep affinity for modernist dodecaphonic means. Shapey was a student of Stefan Wolpe, and was a close friend of Edgar Varese and Willem de Kooning, all that seems to be part of the Quintet. The Wright Quiniet is a fairly modest predictable affair, now fast and declamatory, then brisk n' light n' toccata like. Bold statement all projected within predictable frames, good sitting in the park on a Sunday afternoon music here. Other Voices by the late Jacob Druckman is a grandiose affair for brass,quite unique in the literature, about 18 minutes in length,and you hear Druckman's time he spent with electronic means, the enveloping of timbres, quick crecendoes, the masking, hiding of timbre, then when stripped away we find another layer, we didn't hear. the brass parts hear have this noise-like affinity, fast bird like chirping, and the muted trumpet associates this timbre quite immediately for us.Duckman's music is evocative, and mysterious,with a theatrical bend.

Two Modern Masters Working Together!!.......1999-07-06
Maurice Wright and Marc-Andre Hamelin must have met at Temple University, where Wright is professor of composition. He also recorded Wright's First Sonata on a New World disc. Wright is a multi-faceted composer in the style of Bolcom-he his not afraid to use tonal music and atonal music together. Most entertaining is the Chamber Symphony with electronic sounds, where the piano and the electronic sounds are one instrument rather than two disperate instruments. Also check out the texts for the song cycle "Night Watch". Sound quality is excellent. Wright is a composer to investigate. So what are you waiting for?
