Best girl singer out there.......2007-04-12

Haven't found a genre she can't sing. What'll I Do is worth the price of the CD.

Sweet!.......2007-03-01

Linda has a smooth, soothing, sweet and rich voice that matches well with these numbers. A natural for this genre of good old sentimental jazz numbers! She draws you in and wraps you up in the warmth of her voice.

Great Singer-Great Orchestra.......2007-02-26

Riddle and Ronstadt recorded these albums at a time when Nelson Riddle was nearing the end of his life. Linda knew it based upon the feeling that she puts forth in these standards. Riddle's arrangements are impeccable. He arranged beautifully for the string section but used some outstanding soloists in Bob Cooper (tenor), Plas Johnson,(tenor) Warren Luehning (trumpet) and Chancey Welch.(trombone) to embrace Linda's solos. Welch's solos are tastefully played with a smooth, mellow tone. He represents the epitome of an artist playing the trombone. This is a great album.

Linda Goes to Standards.......2007-02-08

I am just now purchasing the combined CD's, which Amazon is offering as a special. I am so happy that it is out in CD, because I have the record and let's face it who listens to records anymore? I remember when it first came out. It was the first time Linda Ronstadt sang standards. It is such a wonderful marriage of talents Linda Ronstadt and the Nelson Riddle's Ochestra. I think she is so talented and can do anything from Country to Rock to Opera. At that time I think she was not given the credit or recognition. People thought the record would not be accepted. Well wow, it was a fantastic hit and she went on to make a couple of standard albums. Soooo, I can't wait to get the cd's and listen on my Ipod. I guess this is a first, reviewing the cd before I got it.

What's New - Linda Ronstadt & the Nelson Riddle Orchestra.......2006-11-07

I have known Linda Ronstadt from a CD of Mexican Music and the present CD is entirely up to expectations.

Great voice.......2007-06-09

Sweetly broken drew me to this cd. Great song at that, but much of the cd failed to impress me. But saying that, "sweetly Broken" demands a lot to live up to. Jeremy Riddle has a great voice and a great future. The album itself is not a bad album, in fact it does grow on you a little, but I did expect more.

Justin Bartlett.

Several Five Star Songs on this CD.......2007-05-21

yes I love this CD. Especially great are song #3 and #7. Our radio stations have been playing Sweetly Broken for months and it's very popular. It is a great song. But I have to say that I love song #3 even more. It's my favorite song right now. This song is about awe of God in worship. It's about His grace. The musical tambre and vocal qualities express broken, humble and passionate intensity that is rare. It's a GREAT song.

I first heard this song #3 Stand in Awe at a conference in California. I was sent a free copy of this cd (cuz I'm a pastor I guess) and I started listening to it. Between the conference (where Jeremy led it live) and this cd I have been blessed over and over.

We keep this cd in our car right now and are listening to it on the way to the church office every day....and I've found that I can listen to Stand in Awe three times in a row and want to hear it again (am I hooked or what?). I don't like any of the other songs nearly as well, but most of them are really good. I just don't listen to a lot of worship songs repeatedly...but this one I can't get enough of right now.

FWIW-I studied music at Wheaton Conservatory of Music for a year before switching to pastoral training in college. I think I do have a good ear for musical quality..and Riddle has a raw and humble quality to his vocals that really fit well with worship music. I give this cd a five star.

Beautiful Music.......2007-05-20

The music and songs on this CD are simply beautiful. The song "Sweetly Broken" will get etched into your brain forever once you listen to it. Powerful lyrics and excellent music.

I LOVE Jeremy Riddle.......2007-05-14

I received my CD on time and it is one of the best CDs I own!!

Get your heart and head vertical.......2007-05-07

Really good CD, musically and spiritually. I love it when you listen to praise and worship and can tell that the worshiper actually spends time in their bible. Some of the lyrics are references to not as well known bible passages that are very profound. The music is top notch, which only adds to the incredibly well done way of getting your heart and head in the right place....looking vertically toward the creator.
Great stuff for starting the day driving with a cup of coffee....especially good for a monday morning : )

Riddle Excellent, Ronstadt OK.......2007-02-06

Recently pulled out "Lush Life" and "Sentimental Reasons" after several years of not listening to them. Riddle, his arrangements, and the backup orchestras or big bands he conducts here are, of course, magnificent. However, on these recordings Ronstadt is occasionally flat; has that abrasive, throaty, open sound on some of the top notes, (though pretty when she finally breaks into a vibrato); closes off her vowels at the end of phrases; and sometimes stops singing a phrase altogether, which is unsettling. Also, would have liked to have heard Ronstadt deviate from the written melody or rhythm occasionally (something Sinatra or Ella Fitzgerald always managed to do, and which made their interpretations remarkable) as it she would have really nailed these works and given her a place in jazz history of the Great American Songbook.

Have heard much better (and much worse, Rod Stewart, c'mon...), Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee.

Most of her songs are sweet, pretty, but not much above what you'd hear with a good 1930's or 1940's "bird" out front of the big band.

Only the best will do.......2006-12-11

Linda Ronstadt has never made a bad album and this is only more proof. I absolutely love this cd, I also own the three original versions with Nelson Riddle, if fact I think I own all her music. Albums, cassettes, CDs, whatever I have them. I even have the Spanish ones, that I only know every third word, and love them also.

I have a hard time comparing her to any other standard singer, but if you want to hear the difference between her and the others just listen to her Christmas CD and that will explain it all. I am a huge Ella Fitzgerald fan and I have heard all the others, but I place Linda right up there in the top 10, if not the top 5, She can sing any type of music and is one of the very best harmony singers ever, just listen to the Trio album.

My favs (if I had to choose) are FUNNY VALENTINE, "ROUND MIDNIGHT, and of course the other title songs, but I love all the songs. It's not just one thing with Linda, it's the whole package, fans will know what I mean.

Pam

Round Midnight.......2006-11-11

The combination of these two artists, Nelson Riddle and Linda Ronstadt, could only result in the beauty of this CD. I'm enjoying listening to it over and over.

Linda deserves 10 stars on this one!.......2006-09-05

This double CD set containing three albums is so spectacular, it will bring tears to your eyes. I love them both so much, that I have told my family to play these CDs (and only these CDs) at my wake and my funeral instead of the typical boring organ-death music. I also told my family if anyone asks- why is this Linda Ronstadt music playing? You tell them- because this is what he is listening to in heaven for all eternity. One last thing, if that was me on the cover with her, she would have never turned her head. Thank you once again Linda.

Linda is magnificent........2006-08-08

She truly has a remarkable voice. There is no one like her and these songs are classics done by a classic singer. No more neeeds be said.

perfect score for a perfect movie.......2007-02-19

Carol Reed's veteran cinematographer Robert Krasker's quirky angles under Reed's direction perfectly framed the ready-made-for-an-art designer bombed out shadows and stark, isolated street lights of post-war Vienna and its underworld. Unique to cinema history the whole score (but for some canned incidental cafe music) was just the brilliant zither playing of Anton Karas, adding his nuances to every dramatic transition. Krasker won an Oscar, and Karas was nominated.

The "Third Man Theme" (also known as the "Harry Lime Theme") is alternately brittle, jaunty, bittersweet, romantic, wry, and even sardonic piece of music--which fits the mood of the story and the film perfectly -- that, once heard, can't be forgotten.

The "Third Man Theme" turned Anton Karas into a wealthy man after 28 years of toiling in obscurity an relative poverty in Vienna.

One night, Carol Reed was passing by a wine tavern where growers offer their own wines for sale directly, and heard Anton Karas's playing in the background. Reed had never heard a zither before and found the sound to be attractive. He approached Karas and persuaded him to play for him at his hotel, and made a recording, which Reed brought back to the studio to test. He liked the effect when the zither's sound was placed against the recorded dialogue and, ignoring the protests of many around him, hired Karas and brought him to London for 12 weeks.

Anton Karas screened the movie hundreds of times, devising music for each scene. The Third Man ended up with a vast amount of music, scored in virtually every scene of its 104 minutes. Ironically, the piece that became known as the "Third Man Theme" was something that Anton Karas had written two decades earlier and hadn't played in over 15 years. As he later explained to Reed, playing the zither for a whole night for tips was hard work, and one tended to play the easiest pieces the most often, to save the fingers.

Other zither players never got it to sound just right. The truth was that as recorded for the movie, "The Third Man Theme" was one of the first practical examples of overdubbing on a hit record, rivaling Les Paul's work--Anton Karas had gotten just the right effect working underneath Reed's kitchen table, and had gotten the piece just right by recording and mixing more than one zither part.

The Third Man was finished and prepared for release, and Reed and the production company, London Films, tried to raise interest in it through the music. None of the record companies, however, was interested in recording Karas or releasing the "Third Man Theme." The music was too strange and different, and although British movies had produced some soundtrack successes in the past, those were usually more conventional light classical pieces, not a jangly piece of music played on a central European folk instrument.

Pleasant "ethnic" melodies.......2007-01-22

The tunes on this disc have a nice, comforting sound. Some of the selections are haunting, some have a peasant-liveliness. Nothing great or revolutionary, but plain good zither music, very enjoyable.

Third Man & Other Original Records.......2006-11-10

We bought it for a friend. They loved it.

The first man of the zither.......2006-03-10

The CD didn't sound as good as the movie sound track. Ity sounded a bit rushed as if the sampling during the transfer was not sufficient

This is the one you're looking for........2004-04-26

You've been looking for the original version of the music in "The Third Man", right? Every other CD on the market wouldn't work for you. But lucky for you, this is the one! Don't go wrong.

As a grown-up, I don't get this stuff, but my 21 year old daughter loves it. Go figure! Not for the young, though!!!

It's The Wicked Clown Show.......2007-05-08

Riddlebox. Just saying that brings to mind some great memories I've had with this album playing. This is one of my favorite ICP albums, though its hard to pick a favorite. This was one of ICP's darkest albums and one of their best.

Intro(9/10) Sets up the mood for the album.

Riddlebox(9/10) Short song about what the Riddlebox is and sets the tone for whats to come.

The Show Must Go On(10/10) A song of almost perfection. Good lyrics, great chorus, cool circus music.

Chicken Huntin'(10/10) Like I said in my review of Ringmaster, this version in my opinion is superior. Great lyrics mixed with great music.

Interview Skit(8/10) Funny mock interview about the band.

Toy Box(10/10) Kickin' song about being a nerd and making your own toys that kill those you hate.

Cemetary Girl(10/10) The warpedness is great. Being able to joke about certain topics (like digging up your dead girlfriend) is what has always made ICP unique.

3 Rings(9/10) Good song about being a freek show. Catchy song.

Headless Boogie(8/10) Has its ups and downs. Realy good chorus.

The Joker's Wild(9/10) J has his own game show and tortures the contestants who screwed him over.

Dead Body Man(10/10) Also on Tunnel Of Love EP. For those that don't know this song rocks. A Juggalo fav that they play at their shows.

Lil' Somthin' Somthin'(3/10) Just couldn't get into it. Never realy liked it.

Ol' Evil Eye(9/10) Edgar Allen Poe-ish song about an old man with a weird eye and they kill him.

12(10/10) One of the best songs on the album. True wicked s***. ICP style.

Killing Fields(8/10) Creepy song about being dead and being damned to roam in the killing fields.

I'm Coming Home(5/10) I'll get bashed by other Juggalos for saying this but I don't realy care for this song. I think its the music I don't like. Either way, it grows on you. I usually skip it.

Overall, One of ICP's best. MCL

The jokes on you.......2007-02-28

The Riddle Box was ICP's 3rd LP album, and 3rd Joker's Card released in 1995. Finally they were on a major record label, Jive. However, Jive didnt distribute this album all over the country, they just kept it in Detroit, so ICP personally traveled down to Texas and promoted themselves down there and became quite popular in that area, and proved they werent just a local Detroit thing. They changed up their style a little bit, from rapping about gangsta clown type stuff, to rapping more wicked. This is some of ICP's best work in my opinion.

Intro: Intro to the album. You hear a car crash, and then a man is introduced to the Riddle Box, he turns the crank to decide his fate.

Riddle Box: 3/5 - This basically sets the tone of the album, and explains the Riddle Box a little more. Nice beat.

The Show Must Go On: 4/5 - About being freak show clowns.

Chicken Huntin' (Slaughter House Mix) - 5/5 - This is by far ICP's biggest song. Played at every single concert. This was also their first music video that they released.

Interview: 1/5 - Just a skit where a guy asks questions and they respond with goofy noises.

Toy Box: 3/5 - About a boy who has no friends and gets picked on so he makes evil toys that kill people.

Cemetary Girl: 4/5 - This is about Violent J having a dead girlfriend that he digs up cause he misses her.

3 Rings: 4/5 - Its about side show freaks at a carnival

Headless Boogie: 4/5 - Nice beat. Catchy hook. Its about dead people dancing without heads.

The Joker's Wild: 3/5 - I like this beat a lot. The theme of this song is its a game show hosted by Violent J, and people he doesnt like have to play and they all die basically.

Dead Body Man: 5/5 - Classic ICP song. This can also be found on the Terror Wheel Album, but this one has a little news skit before the song. Its about a man who collects dead bodies. This was covered by Blaze in 2002.

Lil' Somthin' Somthin': 4/5 - Here the album tones down a little bit. This song is about ... girls.

Ol Evil Eye: 5/5 - This is probably my all time favorite ICP song. This is a very dark song, the song is pretty much based on The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe, and you can even hear it being recited before the song starts.

12: 3/5 - A man gets killed by the death penalty and comes back to kill the 12 jurors who convicted him. Lyrics to this song was found on 1 of the Columbine kids webpages and this caused some controversy.

The Killing Fields: 3/5 - This is a very dark song. This is where all the bad people go when they die.

I'm Coming Home: 4/5 - Good song to end the album with. The title pretty much explains it.


This is some of ICP's best work so if youre a fan of the clowns and you dont have this album, GET IT!

I rate this album 5/5.

Inner City Becomes Insane Clown.......2007-02-07

Carnival and Ringmaster were great albums yes, with definite highlights, but Riddlebox was the first true Insane Clown Posse record. Not making it big yet and signing to Jive Records who eventually screwed them over in the end, the opener on this one is better than the previous outings, and we see the remix of Chicken Huntin' which was featured on Ringmaster, and although it is a small highlight on that one, this version is much favoured and truely where the song comes into its own. Along with CH the interesting Toy Box (featuring one of their best storyline outros), Killing Fields and one of ICP's trademark tunes Cemetary Girl, which is easily recognizable to any lo's/lettes' that clinged on during the Milenko/Jeckels period. There are a number of great underrated tracks here including Lil' Somethin' Somethin' and Ol' Evil Eye, Jokers Wild, and their best closer ever I'm Comin' Home, this song finds some true emotion breaking through. A great album that was the perfect mid point between the cult classics of Carnival and Ringmaster to the epichol breakthrough of Milenko and Jeckel. 4/5

ICP's First Classic.......2007-01-05

ICP nail it on this one. While Carnival of Carnage was a worthy debut and Ringmaster was an improvment over Carnival, this is the album that brings ICP full circle. Everybody knows the story behind this cd, so I won't rehash it. The only thing i've got to say is that the backing of Jive and a decent budget to work with really make this this cd work. Unfortunately, past efforts suffer from some a very limited budget. Recommended to anybody with an open mind.

A Slight Innacuracy.......2007-06-13

The version of "Nadia's Theme" (Theme from The Young and the Restless) isn't actually the one you're expecting. I believe it's actually the original arrangement made for "Bless the Beasts and the Children". So what later became the Young and the Restless theme (the one that was a hit) still remains unreleased on CD.

Hopefully, we can see that version on a future release. Maybe they could get "Little Ballerina Blue" on one while they're at it.

Still, some great stuff here.

Another Collection You Wonr Find Anywhere else.......2003-05-06

Well, ERIC records has done it again.

Continuing their unique practice of giving us both well known hits and impossible to find rarities, Eric presents Volume 2 of "Hard to Find Orchestral Instrumentals". This one is, in my opinion, even better than the first.

First off, the sound quality of this disk is ASTOUNDING. ERIC has gotten the various reissue departments to provide them with absolute first generation mono and stereo masters and this CD proves it. The aural quality is breathtaking. The fact that Orchestral music is so beautifully suited for true stereo playback is exhibited here, as a whopping 15 of the 20 tracks are True Stereo and sound magnificent.

There are, of course, the big soundtrack hits here, like 'The Day The Rains Came" "Rocky", "Ben Casey", "Theme from The Apartment", and " Nadias Theme". All top 30 and well remembered. However, for this 43 year old fan, it was the some of the lessor known tracks, in particulatr the 1963 Colpix low level charter "Theme From The Long Ships" that really makes this collection the gem that it is. Outstanding tracks include "Theme From The Sundowners" , "The Dark At The Top of The Stairs" and "I Will Follow Him" , all tracks that will suddenly sound familiar again after first listen.

Therein lies the BEST part of this collection. When you put this on your player, you will be treated to a nostalgic feast,
a time when the magic of Orchestral music still ruled the charts, and existed in all our homes. And you'll certainly remember most of these once you hear them, which is the fun part!!

There arent enough great things I can say about this collection AND its sister CD "Hard To Find pop Instrumentals- Part 2" I personally liked this volume better, but if you dont have either yet, give yourself a musical treat, and some REAL listening enjoyment and pick these up...

Its listening the way it used to be.

Great Music and Arrangements.......2006-09-24

I listen to alot of different styles and types of music. I have a pretty large music library. This collection is one of my top 3 favorites. The Nelson Riddles don't come along very often. Due to their time frame most all of these tracks are only a little over two minutes in length. Every time I listen Nelson leaves me begging for more of each track.Even if you don't think that you will like this collection,take my word for it. YOU WILL......Lightfoot

Outstanding 2-fer of jazzy arrangements of TV themes.......2005-06-29

Though only four of these are Nelson originals ("Route 66 Theme" "The Untouchables" "Theme From Sam Benedict" and "New Naked City Theme"), the maestro puts his stamp on every track through his inventive, signature arrangements. Highlights include swinging charts for "The Alvin Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show," Latin beats for "My Three Sons" and "The Lucy Show," the Bert Kaempfert styled "The Defenders Theme," and a fine light-jazz take on "Supercar." Two great albums, brought together on one extraordinary CD!

Classic big band arrangements.......2004-06-17

Embodies all the excitement of the 60's TV shows. Nelson Riddle and his band of top musicians can still can stand along side todays TV and movie music creators with colour and richness of sound that is often assisted by digital enhancement today.
Top marks for releasing both LP albums on a single CD, my original 33rpm records can now be put into retirement.

TUNE IN to GREAT TUNES!.......2002-04-17

Three cheers for EMI for finally putting these two albums out on CD for all to enjoy. Nelson Riddle's TV Theme versions were really hot when they were released on vinyl. Since then, an ocassional song has been released here and there, but here are both albums complete in pristine sound as well. This CD is worth its weight in gold for the rip-roarin' version Nelson and the gang lays down of The DICK VAN DYKE Theme, if for no other reason. There are of course about 20 other reasons including the themes from THE ALVIN SHOW, the LUCY Show, and THE BALLAD OF JED CLAMPETT. TV fans of all ages will delight in and enjoy this long overdue collection of some of TV's greatest theme songs, done by one of Hollywood's most fantastic arrangers.
Hope to see more of Nelson's albums represented in this fashion by the good people at EMI. Very nice packaging including all original liner notes as well. Great CD!

Good old days.......2007-01-10

The 80's is back. Only some of Nik's songs are available on new cd collections so this is a "must have". This album is full of lovely songs. I suddenly felt an urge to start sowing shoulder pads into my blouses again...

His mind is a beacon in the veil of the night.......2005-08-18

I'm giving this 5 stars for one song alone: "The Riddle". The lyrics contains more memorable imagery and phrases than a hundred other "pop" songs (but they do not contain "Babylon 5" or "Manor Baron" unless you mishear it!) The tune itself is insanely catchy. The odd lyrics, according to accounts, were written in a hurry during an early draft as mere filler, and were never replaced. Kershaw has admitted that they were wholly meaningless. The rest of the songs aren't bad (especially "Wild Horses", "Roses", and "Don Quixote"), but I am not sure I would have purchased the CD on the strength of these other songs if "The Riddle" were not present.

Careful.......2004-11-02

For those of you looking for the song "Wouldn't It Be Good", it can be found on the CD "Human Racing", NOT on this one. Nevertheless, this is still a very good album, with a couple of highlights being "The Riddle" and "Don Quixote". Having seen Nik Kershaw 'live', I was quite surpised by the draw he had on young, screaming, teens, especially in light of the fact that his songs are more complex in arrangement and in performance than one might first suspect. Very original and some of the better 80's music produced.

A+ songwriter- gets better on "Radio Musicola" & "the Works".......2004-02-20

Nik Kershaw is a master at songwriting and that's already the case on this cd, one can tell back then that this musician is about to put out masterpieces...and that will be the case with his 2 following CD releases:
the very inspired "Radio Musicola" (4 stars) and the absolutely fantastic "The Works" (5 stars material).
If you like what you hear here, find these other two CDs you won't regret it!

A Mark King link!? Holy cow.......2003-09-24

What a tangled web- I went on Google looking for the song "Eugene" by Crazy Joe and the Variable Speed Band, and the only place I found it was tucked inside a playlist from a radio station's archives from a show called 'Crap From The Past' (which is fabulous). Anyway, I'd never even heard a Nik Kershaw song, but 'Riddle' was included in the playlist from 17 July, 1996, and I thought it sounded veeeeery close to Level 42. Mark King? GET IT? And then I read that Mark King did a guest-bass appearance on 'Easy' and thought HMMMM. So for all you Kershaw fans, SURELY you get a kick out of Level 42- GREAT STUFF!

A rose by any other name still rocks the house.......2007-06-13

The third full-length album from Chris Clark -now going simply as Clark- is his most accessible yet. That ain't saying much, though, believe me. His speaker shredding laptop IDM is still as dense as a knee to the face, but Body Riddle's beats maintain a certain tribal hip-hop groove to them easily locatable by anyone with a heart while still being nightmarish enough to be thoroughly enjoyed by any fan of WARP Records' isolated android graveyard soundscapes. A rose by any other name still rocks the house.

Solid album.......2007-04-02

Clark Body Riddle isn't much different from what AFX was already doing 8-10 years ago, but that's not a bad thing. I like most of the songs on this album. Some decent, thicker hip-hop beats mixed into various songs. You can't go wrong with most of the stuff put out by WARP.

Work of a Genius!.......2007-03-04

Ok i've had this album since the day it came out and it is pretty much what i'd call a masterpiece! This is the 1st time i've done a review and I probably won't do many reviews after this one but I just had to stick 5 stars out there for good measure! Going to see Clark live 2 times in this month with his live drummer so my socks are blatently gonna b blown off. All of CC's work is amazing but Body Riddle is as someone else has mentioned the album that can put him up there with Aphex,Autechre,Squarepusher etc etc.
Laterz frano
P.S buy this album

the best electronica.......2007-02-19

Warp Records continues to set the pace, obliterating the bar, and Clark is beyond the best-of-the-best. There are no comparisons to the pantheon of electronica greats: Clark surpasses them all with this brilliant album.

Yes. Music is supposed to be this superlative.

Riddle me this........2007-02-13

"Body Riddle" is Chris Clark's 3rd and most cohesive full-length release to-date. From start to finish, the record is a hunk of visceral IDM that takes whispers of "Clarence Park" and "Empty the Bones..." to the next level. Reading some of the previous reviews, perhaps some people are confused about the content of the album...there's no filler here. Where "Empty the Bones..." was sloppily constructed (though it featured some excellent sequencing and synths) and too broadly-scoped, "Body Riddle" is streamlined and pristinely polished.

On his previous material, Clark's work came off a little more sensory, sometimes almost extra-sensory. His debut featured very little of the punchy, fierce beats that don "Body Riddle." Where there were once primarily walls of synth-ambience, Clark has arrived in 2006 with a much more textural sound. You can hear semblances of his past work in this album, but these bits are soflty rendered in the background of a much firmer sound--a much more intimidating sound.

Chris Clark is travelling now into the territory of harmony-perfect artists like Aphex Twin. Synth in tracks like "Frau Wav" and "Herzog" demonstrate this well. The best representation of Clark's new drum-oriented penchant can be found on the track "Roulette Thrift Run", which is also strewn with some incredible sax-type synth and vocal babble.

There is no 'filler' on "Body Riddle." Fans of mid-late-90's Aphex Twin will find this record extremely enjoyable and a nice return to ear-tickling harmonies and powerful, unique drum tracks.

It doesn't get any better than these two playing these guys! Some of it was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Use your imagination... It's all just swell.

A Musical Treat.......2006-01-08

"The true mission of the violin is to imitate the accents of the human voice, a noble mission that has earned for the violin the glory of being called the king of instruments." ~ Charles-Auguste De Bériot ~

Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grapelli together had made some of the most beautiful music ever-recorded. And I believe that this is one of the many successful albums they recorded together. In this recording, both violinists have showed their excellent musicianship and interpretative eloquence as well, making it one of my most cherished CDs from my collection.

These are the main ingredients of a perfectly-made CD for your listening pleasure: mix violins, piano, bass and drums together, combine two terrific violinists, season with the best melodies in the 20s, 30s and 40s from Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart. Add the musical talents of Nelson Riddle, Max Harris, Martin Taylor, Eddie Tripp, Alan Clare and the rest of the studio musicians. Now all you have to do is to sit back, relax and savor these stunning melodies coming from your CD player. Listen to it in full-volume and fill your music room with the sheer beauty of these classics.

One of my favorite musical instruments is violin. With its four strings, it gives a whole wide range of musical versatility and I simply love the fascinating sound it produces.

My personal highlights are the best tunes from Jerome Kern - "The Way You Look Tonight" (Nelson Riddle arranged this particular track and conducted the Woodwind and Brass section), "A Fine Romance," "Pick Yourself Up," "Why Do I Love You?" and "All The Things You Are."

My choices from Irving Berlin's gems are - "Isn't It A Lovely Day?" featuring the great artistry of Nelson Riddle in arranging and conducting, "Cheek To Cheek" and "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm."

The Cole Porter repertoire represented his musical sophistication in "Night And Day," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Just One Of Those Things."

The choice cuts from the talented and creative team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are "My Funny Valentine" and "Thou Swell."

Listening to this CD is so delectable and equivalent to having my favorite dessert - be it Tiramisu, New York Cheesecake, Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Soufflé, Créme Brulee, Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate-Coated Strawberries! ;)

A musical treat.
