Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Lanza in (mostly) top form.......2004-11-28

This is a "twofer" CD, consisting of the 1955 soundtrack to the movie Serenade and the 1956 Cavalcade of Show Tunes album. Before I go any further, however, I should acknowledge that I was one of the liner note writers for this release. But I have no financial interest in the CD, and am simply reviewing it here because to date no one else has commented on it!

Serenade marked Lanza's return to films after an absence of three years, and revealed a voice that had darkened considerably, while still retaining its brilliant upper register. Stylistically, this is also a much-improved artist in many respects from the sometimes-wayward tenor of the early 1950s. Anyone who compares Lanza's superbly operatic renditions here of Amor Ti Vieta, Lamento di Federico, and O Paradiso with his earlier versions (all featured on the CD Mario Lanza Sings Opera Arias and Duets) will immediately detect the new-found control in his singing.

That's not to say that all of the Serenade material is outstanding. Lanza's renditions of Nessun Dorma, O Soave Fanciulla, Di Quella Pira, and the title song are below par, with the tenor uncharacteristically strained in the upper register and rough in his approach. But redeeming everything are the oustanding renditions of the arias mentioned in the previous paragraph, together with Lanza's sensitive singing of Di Rigori Armato from Der Rosenkavalier, a superb Torna a Surriento, and an unsurpassed Dio! Mi Potevi Scagliar from Otello. Lanza also recorded the Act III duet from Otello with Licia Albanese for this film, but time constraints have reduced it to a brief extract here. (The entire duet, however, can be heard on the aforementioned Arias & Duets CD.)

The other album featured here showcases the romantic side of Lanza. Beautifully recorded, Cavalcade includes passionate renditions of Yours is My Heart Alone, Only a Rose, Will You Remember, and other selections from operetta and musical comedy. Although Lanza may indeed be *too* zestful here for some tastes, vocally at least, he is at the height of his powers. The voice is rich and round - gloriously consistent throughout its registers - and the abundance of effortless B flats, Bs, and even a high C reveal a tenor in formidable form.

Highly recommended.

          4 out of 5 stars songstress collection.......2007-01-11

          Ruth Etting's beautiful voice and feelings are what it is about. A never to be forgotten style.

          4 out of 5 stars America's Sweetheart of Song by Ruth Etting.......2005-08-31

          While this CD does not have all of Ruth's hits, it will round out your collection of her work. Sound quality is good. Her elocution is excellent as always.

          5 out of 5 stars Companion volume to Ten cents a dance.......2002-07-30

          Ruth was extremely popular - and commercially successful - in the 1920's and 1930's, though she was less successful in her personal life, which was dramatised in the film Love me or leave me (starring Doris Day).

          This is the second compilation of Ruth's music released by ASV, and it contains 25 songs that didn't make it on to their first (the 20-track Ten cents a dance, also available from Amazon), so it is more generous. Even with a combined total of 45 tracks, they don't include all her hits, but they do contain most of the big ones.

          Among the hits included here are Life is a song (her only number one, from 1935), Smoke gets in your eyes (a top 20 hit, and one of the earliest recordings of this classic, although Paul Whiteman's version went to #1 around the same time), 'Deed I do (#2 from 1927), What do we do on a dew-dew-dewy day (#4 from 1927) and Back in your own backyard (#5 from 1928) - and there are plenty of others, together with some songs that weren't hits.

          If you enjoy the previously-mentioned Ten cents a dance compilation, you'll love this. There is no drop in quality from that volume, and there are more tracks.

          There is enough of Ruth's music to fill at least a third volume of similar quality to the first two. Buy this to give ASV the necessary incentive.

          Amazon have not provided a track listing at the time of this review, so here it is

          1 Life is a song, let's sing it together
          2 'Deed I do
          3 What do we do on a dew-dew-dewy day
          4 Back in your own backyard
          5 Happy days and lonely nights
          6 Beloved
          7 I'll get by as long as I have you
          8 Cryin' for the Carolines
          9 Just a little closer
          10 Love is like that, what can you do?
          11 Nevertheless, I'm in love with you
          12 Me!
          13 A faded summer love
          14 Cuban love song
          15 It was so beautiful
          16 I'll never be the same
          17 Linger a little longer in the twilight
          18 Close your eyes
          19 Smoke gets in your eyes
          20 Riptide
          21 Easy come, easy go
          22 You
          23 It's a sin to tell a lie
