"Various Artists"--more true than you might think!.......2003-05-18

This is a nice collection of patriotic fare, and considering the price, a fair buy for the money. What the listings don't tell you is that the songs on this CD are NOT actual recordings of the stars you know and love; rather, they are covers of the original artist's songs, performed by unnamed artists who strive for a sound close to the originals. On a few cuts, these covers are actually pretty good-"I Will Remember You" is done very nicely, as is the Ray Charles impersonator's version of "America the Beautiful". But try as they might, the performances of the songs on this CD for the most part falls short. "America", as originally sung by Neil Diamond, is lacking. It's obviously a guy trying to sound like Neil, but only Neil Diamond sounds like Neil Diamond! And, bless her heart, the singer on "Hero" sings flat. It was uncomfortable to listen to. You can't really do a cover of Mariah Carey with the original quality, just because almost no one (Pat Benatar excepted) comes close to having Mariah's incredible vocal range.
Bottom line--a nice discount CD collection of popular Americana, but you get what you pay for.

Proud To Be An American.......2001-11-11

Because of the events on 9/11/01 , this song seems to bring out the best in Americans. Whenever it comes on the radio, people automatically turn it up and a lot of them stop what they are doing just to sing along with it...as if it was the national anthem. I love this song dearly because I Love This Land...God Bless The USA...

I have not received this item yet. It is on back order. I had to rate it so put 3 stars. However sicne it hasn't been received I can't really rate it. You ought to take situations like this into consideration if you're going to do this sort of thing.

A Nice Assortment.......2001-03-13

The CD contains a nice selection of songs from composers who we may not hear that much of. I bought this CD for Copland's Dirge in Woods and it was very nice. But I found some other nice treasures on this CD too. Four vocalists, two males and two females, take on this sometimes very challenging music. The music for the most part is not soft and languid both rather has some what we would think of as mid 20th century types of chords. Unless you're into that kinda of thing, you may not want to get this CD. These aren't master works, but just nice little songs a composer might of written while taking a break between writing operas or symphonies.

Important American art songs performed by superb recitalists.......2000-05-30

This CD, a digital remastering of a recording originally released in 1962, is an extraordinary value for anyone interested in American art song, or simply in fine singing. I bought it because I wanted to hear Eleanor Steber's performance of Griffes's "Waikiki", which did not disappoint. But there are many other wonderful songs, all presented with great artistry. They range from the demanding complexity of Barber's "Nuvoletta" and Ives's "General William Booth Enters into Heaven" to the lyricism of the Ernst Bacon songs to texts by Emily Dickinson. The final song on the CD, John McCollum's performance of Henry Cowell's "The Donkey", is especially memorable; I recommend this version over the one on the Albany label's "Songs of Henry Cowell" CD (which I bought because my interest in Cowell's songs was raised by hearing "The Donkey").

Beautiful voice, beautiful heart, beautiful music.......2006-05-10

I bought this disk when I heard the title track on CBC radio. The song in the arrangement by Healy Willan is gorgeous and achingly sad. Edith Wiens won me over immediately with her beautiful voice and the way her singing invites us to feel the love and hurt in the song. It is hard to tell from the words whether it is the love or the hurt that is the greater emotion. The only event I can conceive of that would contain such complete love and utter pain would be the death of one's love, and the words are even more powerful in such a setting.

Ae fond kiss and then we sever
Ae farewell and then forever
Deep in heart wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee

These are words adapated from a poem by Robert Burns, a man who knew how to write.

Imagine my delight when the rest of the disk contained treat after treat. Songs and ballades by Copeland, Ives, Foster, Britten, MacMillan, Lucas, Butterfield, and others. There are art songs and such familiar songs (or were familiar in my generation and earlier) as "Home, Sweet Home", "The Last Rose of Summer", Jeanie with the light brown hair", "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" and more.

Edith Wiens is a wonderful Canadian soprano who grew up as a Mennonite in Vancouver and attended Bible College there. She spent three years in Hanover on scholarship studying music and received her Masters (and later an honorary doctorate) from Oberlin. She sings all over the world and gives well received master classes - I am aware of one at Julliard as well. She has sung major roles in operas including several of Mozart's and her recitals are well loved. Once you hear her voice, you will fall for her singing as well.
