    I was not sure about this, but saw another 5 star rating, and decided to take the gamble. This is a really nice CD. It has all sizes of recorders played, and lots of various percussion instruments of the day. This has lots of happy ancient dance songs and more solumn sounding but beautiful peices. The cover says the group is from Argentina. I am now looking for more of their CDs.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent overview.......2000-08-18

    I was introduced to this collection at an institute of The California Arts Project which focused on teaching beginning recorder. This CD has an excellent variety...using the different types of recorders, and music of different periods. This CD is good for developing listening skills and for appreciating the importance of the recorder throughout musical history.

    5 out of 5 stars Great opera, not just for children.......2006-10-06

    Regrettably Hansel and Gretel has acquired a reputation as an opera for children. Yes, the title characters are children (sung by adult sopranos) and children often find this opera more appealing than most other operas, but Hansel and Gretel is a great opera which should appeal to people of all ages, if they will listen to it without bias. Personally, I think it's one of the half dozen or so greatest operas ever written. Humperdinck was a student and devotee of Wagner and was heavily influenced by him, but he managed to express the best elements of the Wagnerian style on a human scale. Even people who regard Wager's operas as long and tedious should find Hansel and Gretel quite beautiful and appealing. This is a very good performance, comparable to the one with Anna Moffo as Gretel and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau as the father, which is my personal favorite. But whichever performance you choose, if you love great operas, please get Hansel and Gretel and listen to it without any preconceived notions.

    5 out of 5 stars Wagner pour enfants!.......2003-04-17

    Il est évident que Humperdinck suivait la tradition Wagnérienne lorsqu'il composa Hänsel et Gretel. Mais Wagner n'aurait pu faire quelque chose d'aussi rafraichissant! Nous avons droit ici à un opéra pour enfant mais, excusez-moi le mot, mais mignon comme tout. Vous aurez un plaisir incroyable à l'écouter et les chanteurs et surtout chanteuses (!) qui font un travail incroyable. Lucia Popp et Brigitte Fassbaender font toutes deux un travail époustouflant! La direction de Solti est impécable et elle est empreint d'une vivacité incroyable. Chacune des scènes clés est superbement dirigée (La prière ainsi que la Pantomime sont d'une beauté subliminale) et les effets sont extrèmement réussis. Nous avons ici le droit au four qui éclate (!), un effet très amusant! Et que dire de Anny Schlemm qui interprète avec une vivante vigueur le rôle sorcière, qui sait insuffler à son personnage une touche diabolique incroyable. Offert ici dans la nouvelle série The Compact Opera Collection de Decca, le libretto n'est toutefois pas inclut en version papier. Un livret est présent pour expliquer le déroulement des diverses scènes de l'opéra et le libretto complet est inclut sur le premier CD, que vous pouvez ouvrir lorsque vous mettez votre CD dans votre ordinateur. Vous pouvez vous procurez la version avec libretto papier inclut pour quelques dollards de plus! Quoi qu'il en soit, vous ne pouvez vous passer de ce superbe petit bijou, que vous et vos enfants (!) aurez du plaisir à écouter!

      4 out of 5 stars A great event well-preserved.......2002-02-08

      I bought this recording for Astrid Varnay's Senta and the conducting of Hans Knappertsbusch. Both lived up to my expectations. I don't know of another recording of the Dutchman conducted by Knappertsbusch, and the only other readily-available source of Varnay in this role is an issue on Teldec from the same season at Bayreuth, with similar same cast and under Josef Keilberth. Given the choice, I'd take the present recording, though it is not without its faults.

      Knappertsbusch's conducting is very different from most Wagner interpreters we hear on record. During his lifetime he was sometimes considered a genius and sometimes an old-fashioned bore. Generally he takes much slower tempi than other conductors, and quite often his performances are a bit messy. In this case, he brings new and ingenious insights to the drama through his broad tempi and insightful mastery of the score. For those not used to his conducting but familiar with the opera, this recording may sound all wrong. It may seem far too slow sometimes - especially in comparison to other versions - but in my opinion what he does is wonderful. For those familiar with and appreciative of Knappertsbusch, this recording will certainly raise a smile of respect and pleasure at the greatness of his approach. It's definitely worth listening to just to see aspects of the music which are usually hidden.

      Astrid Varnay was one of the great Wagner sopranos of the past century. Her prominence at Bayreuth from its first opening after the war is noteworthy: for a decade she was the star soprano of that festival, and her recordings of Brunnhilde from that period are cherished by record collectors. Her approach to the role of Senta is characteristically insightful, and she gives some of the most beautiful singing I've ever heard in this role. It is not a role with the depth of character of Brunnhilde or even Isolde, but her approach to this role is just as thorough. Some could criticise for a certain holding back vocally, but not me. She delivers shining high notes, meaningfully declaimed texts, and technical skill of an extremely high level.

      Hermann Uhde is quite good dramatically in a lot of passages, and his singing is *more* in tune in this recording than elsewhere, but he is severely out of time with the orchestra for a great deal of the opera. Knappertsbusch does a good job (uncharacteristically) of pulling the divergent forces of singer and orchestra together, but Uhde gets so lost that it requires a lot of jumping around for the conductor to get control. In his duet with Senta he is all over the map and Varnay is the only thing holding it together. Altogether though, his performance is noteworthy for an impeccable dramatic intent and his fantastic voice. Now if fate had given us Hans Hotter in this role instead, THAT would have made it priceless.

      Wolfgang Windgassen can be heard in particularly good voice in the role of Erik. He sings this role with beauty and real feeling - something rarely heard among Eriks (or Windgassens). Ludwig Weber is a wayward and crude Daland. He is terribly out of time with the orchestra, and is never particularly close to the note. I find nothing whatsoever to recommend in his performance on this disk. Josef Traxel - with resonant voice, accurate and charmingly youthful singing, and clear tone - is the saving grace of their scenes together in Act I.

      So for those seeking to hear the Senta of one of Bayreuth's greatest singers of the past, and for those who want to hear perhaps its greatest conductor, this recording offers a glimpse of their great skill and artistry. For those who want an all-round recording of the Flying Dutchman, and who want to enjoy the whole opera from beginning to end, other recordings might be a more suitable choice. Karajan's studio recording of this opera .... or the Bayreuth recording with Thomas Stewart and Gwyneth Jones conducted by Böhm are excellent.

      The sound quality of this recording is of a very high standard for a live recording from 1955. Apart from it being mono, there is nothing about the sound which should bother any listener focussed on the work. The different parts of the orchestra as well as the words and voices of the singers are heard very clearly and there is little distortion or background noise. The opera is performed as one act (i.e. three acts without a break or intermission), and takes two disks. A note for the hesitant: this is a Bayreuth recording which may be forced out of the catalogue by the greedy Bayreuth administration, so I would get it while it's available. The same fate has befallen many of Bayreuth's finest recordings over the past few years, most notably the 1953 Krauss Ring, which also featured the astonishing Astrid Varnay.

      I hope you enjoy it!

      5 out of 5 stars benchmark performance.......2002-01-12

      this is an addition to my larger view of this recording...this is not to be confused with the contemporaneous recording released by London Records, with the roster, save for Erik, who is sung instead by rudolf lustig, and the conductor, Josef Keilberth. this performance was more widely circulated on records, but is not as good as the one conducted by Kna. The principals are also sing better and the whole is more dramatic. This is still an excellent recording and was my favorite until i found out about this one.

      5 out of 5 stars Benchmark performance.......2002-01-12

      It would be hard to find any perfect recording of a Wagner opera, but this is pretty damn close to it.
      this was the premiere of the 1955 bayreuth festival, the first performance of "dutchman" at postwar bayreuth. No wonder the performance is electrifying.
      Knappertsbusch was a notoriously lazy conductor, but there's nothing lackadasical about his conducting here. He gets it right from the very beginning: one can almost see the sails of the dutchman's ship going up with the ascending bass line in the beginning of the overture..absolutely thrilling in this performance.
      Knappertsbusch's overall "big-boned" approach to this opera makes dutchman seem just as important and mature a work that wagner ever wrote, kna treats it as if it were as refined and as great a work as meistersinger or tristan. Fabulous.
      First voices we hear are of the incomparable bayreuth chorus. They need no introduction, though some balances between choruses in the long third act choral scene aren't the greatest and sometimes the voices get lost, but it is certainly great choral singing.
      Ludwig Weber was getting to be an old man, but he's still the best Daland I've ever heard. Never has there been a greater voice in this role. Hermann Uhde's dutchman and Astrid varnay's Senta are just as incredible, Uhde haunting and Varnay poised on lifting the dutchman's curse.
      I haven't heard Schorr in "die frist is um," but Uhde is quite amazing here, truly sounding like someone who hadn't been on land for seven years: out of touch, wretched, and definitely rough-edged.
      The smaller roles of Mary and the Steersman are taken by elisabeth schärtel and josef traxel, respectively and are sung very well.
      Last, but not least, is Wolfgang windgassen as the tormented Erik. He is extremely musical here, esp. in Erik's third act ballad, an awkward piece for any tenor. I always thought Erik was a stupid character, that is, until I heard Windgassen sing it.
      There are other good dutchman airas sung as well as senta's ballads, and overtures, but Knappertsbusch's performance tops them all. A must have for any admirer of this opera.

      5 out of 5 stars An inspired performance!.......2000-07-08

      Probably the best Holländer on record...opening night of this prodution in Bayreuth, and the electricity can be felt even in decent mono sound 45 years later. Hermann Uhde is the most hauntingly unforgetable Dutchman since Hotter. Ludwig Weber sings with his usual superior musicianship, and Windgassen shines - it's refreshing to hear just how beautifully he could sing apart from The Ring and Tristan. Varnay is a bit cautious, but her final scene at the operas finale when she cuts loose from the back of the stage is absolutely hair-raising...I get goosebumbs just thinking about it! A great cast under the great Knappertbusch who leads with his typical broad but well paced conducting...anyones reaction will be the same as the enthusiastic audience that was present that glorious evening, responding with a thunderous ovation.

      5 out of 5 stars All-star athletic singing-acting cast, great teamwork.......1999-08-18

      This is one of those fantasy recordings with perfect casting. Every singer in the cast was absolutely in his/her prime vocally (with the exception of Ludwig Weber who was in his longevity years. But they were good years for him, and what better time to sing Daland? Windgassen was in really "in the role" with a connected, full-sailed, heroic sound.) Every singer in the cast was fully comfortable with his/her role but still emotionally invested in it--Josef Traxel and Elizabeth Schartel, no less than Astrid Varnay and Hermann Uhde, let themselves go without losing control.

      This is the best performance by Hermann Uhde in any role I've ever heard, although his Rheingold Wotan (Keilberth, 1952) and Telramund are almost as good. Unlike George London, who tends to overawe and unlike Fischer-Dieskau, who tends to whine, Hermann Uhde manages to be forceful without losing sympathy for his suffering. I wish someone would release one of his performances of Amfortas.

      Astrid Varnay audibly had to hold back her white-hot vocal steel to keep poor fragile Senta from overwhelming everyone. She could have done anything that night.

      Knappertsbusch conducted thoughtfully, with respect for the drama. Some of the choral numbers seemed slow but most of the time he remembered that it's not PARSIFAL and kept it moving. Strong, mutually-resonsive ensemble singing by the soloists makes this a standard-setting performance for me.

      Humperdinck's supremely ingratiating opera has an astoundingly starry recorded history. Its singable, easily learned roles have become sort of a drop-in-for-divas occasion (as in the recording by Christa Ludwig and Frederica von Stade, for example), often with extremely big names singing minor roles. This pre-stereo recording starring Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Elisabeth Grümmer in the titles roles with the youngish Herbert von Karajan would seem to be a forerunner to that, though, in fact, those starry names prove to be window dressing. All the secondary roles are sung by names not familiar to us now, but give us something the starrier casts don't: thoughtful characterizations rather than somewhat-indulgent star turns. Else Schurhoff not only sings the Witch pretty much as written but without mugging--and still manages to be funny. Anny Felbermayer's Sandman is an imaginative piece of vocal characterization that suggests what such an otherworldly creature might actually sound like. Karajan and the Philharmonia Orchestra supply all the orchestral color one could hope for in a mono recording, but without turning it into a showpiece. --David Patrick Stearns

      5 out of 5 stars HANSEL GRETEL AND UNCLE HERBERT.......2007-03-06

      Can it really have been as long ago as 1953 that this famous performance was recorded? I can no longer remember how the original issue sounded, but the sound comes over very well in general on this remastered set. As often with analogue-to-digital transfers there is a slight `edge' to the effect, particularly of the voices, but that is a very minor matter when set against the flawless clarity throughout. It has been a real thrill too to be reminded of the tone of the great Philharmonia Orchestra in its heyday. The horn sound right away in the first bars is exquisite by way of getting off to a perfect start, and the engineers for their part have done a brilliant job with the echo-effects in the forest.

      The only names among the singers that I have stayed familiar with down the years are those of the Hansel and Gretel themselves, Elisabeth Gruemmer and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. However the entire cast is, to my own way of thinking, something close to ideal. Shwarzkopf and Gruemmer do not attempt any childlike vocal tone, and thank goodness for that. These vocal roles are written for adult sopranos and they call for a good deal of power on occasions. It is the music itself that evokes childhood with its innocent and beautiful tunes, a number of which are songs that that would remain as songs if this opera were given as a spoken stage-play. The other singers all seem to me to understand their parts very well too. What they bring to them is what this music calls for - tact, sensitivity, beauty of tone and musicianship first last and always. Fairy tales only involve simple and schematic characterisation. The witch obviously has to sound witchy to a certain extent, and I find the effect nicely judged here and not overdone. Similarly with the jovial father after a good day's trading and a few drinks to celebrate. Perhaps Maria von Isolvay could have suggested a little more annoyance when she knocks over the milk-jug and have sounded a trifle more aghast when she becomes aware of the danger from the witch. However even if so I still prefer restraint to exaggeration. This is not grand opera, after all.

      It is singularly beautiful opera. The witty and stylish, though desperately shallow, Viennese critic Hanslick quotes with rueful agreement someone's statement that Hansel and Gretel is the finest opera since Wagner. I sincerely hope that, superficial though he was, he meant German opera - Verdi's Otello was only from a few years earlier, and Falstaff must have been premiered at something like the same time as Hansel and Gretel was. Assuming this interpretation, I guess I would have to agree as well.

      I like the composer's photograph, with his innocent, vulnerable features. I would have liked another, of Karajan as he was in 1953, and I'm trying to recall him as he was then with his hair brushed back from his temples as if in the slipstream of his powerboat. The years have softened a certain antipathy I used to feel towards his showman's approach, and I am coming increasingly to admire some of his earlier work. This is a reissue that I recommend cordially, but please be aware that at a budget price the full libretto is not included. However the German liner-notes on the work and the composer are translated into English, the story must be familiar to everyone and it is easy enough to follow what is happening. All these years later it is still as fresh as the strawberries that the children picked in the forest.

      5 out of 5 stars Great performance of a great opera........2002-02-20

      Yes, a great opera. Of course, Hansel and Gretel is an easy target, with its obvious story, highly accessible lyricism, strong appeal to six-year-olds, and composer named after a pop singer. But was there ever a lovelier and more moving little song than the evening prayer? Do the familiar tunes ever sound hackneyed? Is there anyone whose heart doesn't start to crack as the two children begin bravely to fend for themselves in the dark forest?

      Perhaps the reviewer who called the music mundane was the victim of mundane performances. I've heard pianists make the Appassionata and the F-minor ballade sound mundane.

      Many years ago, and old lady very close to me, a lady who in the 1920s and early 1930s had sung Puccini, Verdi, and Mozart throughout Europe and North America opposite some of the greatest singers of the day, told me that she believed Hansel and Gretel to be a great opera indeed. In its own way, she maintained, it is quite profound, but we so often hear it sung without emotional commitment.

      Is it subliminal fear of Hansel and Gretel that leads people to belittle and disparage it? Why does just a mention of the title sometimes evoke laughter? Is there a little nervousness in that laughter? How many of us divorced parents have figuratively abandoned our trusting children to the wilderness? How many other listeners find themselves identifying uncomfortably closely with the two waifs? I couldn't listen to this opera for eight years after my divorce. Traviata? Boheme? No problem. I could handle tragedy for Violetta or Mimi, but seeing the effect of divorce on my 10-year-old boy and 9-year-old girl made Hansel and Gretel too much to bear. And is the witch with the cannibalistic designs any worse than what's really out there, just released by some judge or parole board, awaiting the innocent?

      I put the Karajan on recently-my first try in eight years-and the hair on the back of my neck unexpectedly stood up with the first few notes. This performance cast a magic spell from first note to last, and neither the 1953 sound nor the mono recording was the least distraction. The singers are fine, their voices beautiful, and the sound is actually quite passable, but the greatness of this performance derives from the players' total commitment: they sing Hansel and Gretel as if it were Tosca or Trovatore. Perhaps Karajan's direction was a factor. This performance isn't some matinee for the kiddies. It's serious, and deadly so.

      One reviewer mentioned slow tempos in places. Yes, but they're right for this performance. Listen to the Eichhorn for a superbly sung, high-fidelity, spirited performance that's lots of fun. It really is wonderful. The Karajan? Beware.

      4 out of 5 stars Still the recommended version........2001-11-22

      Lying in the EMI vaults are many tapes of superb opera recordings made in the 1950s. Herbert von Karajan, prior to his Berlin Philharmonic days, was often engaged to conduct them by the producer, Walter Legge. The recording venue was London's Kingsway Hall - blown to smithereens recently when a bomb that had lodged in the roof during a W W 2 air raid was dislodged.

      Amongst these splendid productions, this 1953 recording of "Hänsel und Gretel" has inspired great affection and received many reissues. Early reviewers, writing in the "Record Guide" thought the heroes of the occasion were Elisabeth Grümmer and Herbert von Karajan. Later reviewers have praised Schwarzkopf and Grümmer for their skill at "acting with the voice". Currently this EMI set is still the recommended version of the opera listed in the "Gramophone".

      If these are some of the recommendations, are there any cautions? I offer only one. Don't expect 1953 mono recording to deliver the luscious listening experience that modern technology provides.

      Listening to the long orchestral introduction to Act Two, you could be excused for thinking that the score was ghost-written by Wagner. In fact the reverse is partly true. In his younger years Humperdinck became strongly influenced and actively associated with Wagner at Bayreuth. Wagner called on his young disciple to help put the finishing touches to "Parsifal".

      5 out of 5 stars Exelent.......2000-10-23

      I highly recomend this recording. It's greatly sang, and conducted, as It couldn't be in any other way, becouse It's sang by Schwarzkopf, that has a beautiful voice, and gives you the impression that she really is a child. Von Karajan, it's a genious, and gives the orchestra a beutiful sound. If you want to buy Hansel Und Gretel, please buy this version, It's marvelouse.

      5 out of 5 stars High quality and captivating characterizations.......2000-02-17

      While it may be cliche, the old maxim rings true here: they just don't make them like this anymore. True, this set has its drawbacks, but a performance like this makes any such quibbles easy to forget.

      Firstly, mention must be made of the exceptional cast assembled here: virtually everyone is excellent. Pride of place must go to Elisabeth Grummer's excellent Hansel. While this is a part normally assumed by mezzos, Grummer's lovely soprano has enough weight in the lower range to present no problems with the low tessitura. The higher-lying passages are, predictably, no problem for her. Her voice remains radiantly beautiful throughout, and her characterization is sweetly boyish without being cloying (a trap many interpreters of these roles fall into).

      Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is a singer whose recordings continue to fascinate decades after they were made. Casting her as Gretel is an unusual choice (she normally took on slightly weightier roles -- she and Grummer, in fact, sang many of the same parts) and while she has to work to sound childlike, her way with the text is unmatched by any recorded Gretel. Her minx-like teasing of Hansel or her gauzy wonder at the appearance of the gingerbread house are just two notable examples. She also sings her Act 2 opening solo with a hushed innocence: for once, Gretel actually sounds like she's singing a folk tune to herself.

      The rest of the cast is quite good, if without the obvious excellence of the two leads. Else Schurhoff's Witch is fine; she really sounds like an old crone, but manages to sound frighteningly imposing when casting her spell. Maria von Ilsovay and Josef Metternich are both good, and Anny Felbermayer's soft-grained, childlike tone is right-on for her otherworldly assignments. She is marginally better as the Dew Fairy. What really sets the entire cast apart, however, is their scrupulous attention to the text and the interplay between characters. Everyone seems to be listening to each other, and that concentration and involvement really shines through.

      The sound, particularly in this remastered version, is excellent: not a digital sonic spectacular, true, but you'll probably forget you're listening to a mono recording.

      I'm not crazy about Herbert von Karajan's conducting in this piece. The loftier sections are really wonderful, but the lighter moments lack the propulsion and fleetness to really sweep us along (the awakening scene seemed interminable here).

      For the best recording of Hansel and Gretel, I'd recommend the Kurt Eichorn recording with Helen Donath and Anna Moffo. It also contains the best Sandman, Dew Fairy, and Witch (Christa Ludwig) on records. But if you have room for another classic recording, don't pass this one up.

      5 out of 5 stars Holla! Success!.......2005-04-04

      Firstly, I am a music critic for my school paper. I was not expecting much from the Baha Men when I heard some of their earlier songs. It was not until watching The Garfield Movie, a movie of my younger sister's, that I realized that the Baha Men were capable of producing such great sounds. I was skeptical, at first, when I bought the CD. I wasn't expecting much. When I turned on my player to listen to the music, I was really impressed with the funky Carribean sounds that came out through my speakers. My favorite song on the record is Holla, it has a catchy rhythym and great sound. I would reccommend this CD to anyone who asked me for my opinion on the Baha Men!

      5 out of 5 stars Great fusion of Junkanoo and world beats.......2004-06-10

      I like the album. I was concerned about the title track because it sounded too child like at first but I grew to like it after the 3rd listen. A lot of the other songs are tailored to a more mature audience. The Baha men version of Hold Ya Head is amazing. Great job. I have most of their albums and look forward to future CDs.

      5 out of 5 stars From a fan and a friend..........2004-06-03

      In the Bahamas, Baha Men have been on point for 20 years or more. Until "Who Let The Dogs Out", which is not - repeat - NOT what we down in Nassau were used to hearing. That was some nickalodeon garbled stuff. I went back home quite a few months ago to work on MY project, "The Demonstration", and an old high school friend shows up at the studio door. It was Rick Carey of Baha Men. (Back in school, he was just a hip hop producer. Now he's both). We get to talking because "Move It Like This" was horrid. I actually liked their 3X platinum "Who Let The Dogs OUt", but that second album had NO redeeming qualities. It was more kid music; worse than the first. Rick tells me they just wrapped on their second album recorded at Ocean Studios (one of the best ones I've ever walked into...) He also says he wrote more on this album, and it has more of an adult feel. I was more than happy to hear that. Rick grew up with the music, his father's been in Baha Men for around 20 years, if I'm not mistaken.

      With songs like "Tempted" and "Holla" and "69", this album is definitely a step in the right direction. If marketed right, it could garner new fans for the group; the likes of which you'd have never imagined. I was there before the album went off to be mastered, I was there to help out with what I could in the tour rehearsals, I was there to watch Rick do some production wizardry on some reggae remixes.

      Also, realize that this album is the first for two new members of the group. Rick is the only lead vocalist to return for this third installment of Baha Men. I told rick he could do it, and on this album, they ALL managed to do the d*mn thing. This is amazing, and I recomend it to any and everyone.

      Peace, and God Bless.
