Editorial Reviews
Denver Post - October, 1999
"Joni Janak has a lovely voice, an intimate approach to lyrics and she can swing."

Product Description
"Joni Janak is, in my opinion, one of the best singers I have ever heard. There are very few singers in this day and time who can interpret a melody and lyrics the way she can." … Carl Fontana, trombonist

Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12

This is the "Merry Widow" with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved this rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with the word "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note with an incressing crescendo and fortissimo louder than the chorus and holding the final high note---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

Album Description

Music of Lennon/McCartney/Harrison and more sounding alot like the original invasion.All recorded "Live" to add to the excitment! Rolling Stone Magazine says that "1964"...The Tribute is the Number One Beatles Tribute Show on Earth!

Customer Reviews:

INCREDIBLE!!.......2007-04-15

This concert IS The Beatles NOTE FOR NOTE!!! You won't hear a single mistake! Their looks are fair, but UNIMPORTANT! It's the MUSIC, baby!! The best thing about this CD is you can hear the Beatles as they were meant to be heard in their "live" shows, but could not hear anything, because of the screaming fans.

The only thing better is to see 1964 The Tribute LIVE!! The only drawback to this CD and 1964 The Tribute, don't expect to hear any music outside of the 1963-64 era!

1964 The Tribute is the second greatest Beatle Band in the world, closely behind "The Fab Four" from S. California, who play Las Vegas regularly. But they don't have a CD for sale, so you'll have to see them live!

BUY THIS CD and BUY their other CD, "Nine Hours in November", which is a similiar, but a totally different take on the Beatles' early music, as it is a "rough, but excellent" studio takes, recorded in just 9 hours, song for song without stopping, just as the Beatles did in the early recording days. If you are expecting a note for note rendition on this one, you better buy "ALL YOU NEED IS LIVE!", instead.

BUY This CD!! and their other CD

nearly just like the beatles.......2006-07-03

it sound just like the orginal (the beatles) so to all beatles fans this is a very good beatles tribut

Worse than background music for supermarkets..........2005-08-17

Terrible, absolutely terrible. There are all kinds of samplers of the wonderful original James Bond soundtracks. I don't see any reason why anybody should go with this chintzy reenactments. It truely i s Las Vegas sound: glossy, smoothed, soaked with saxophone and drippy strings instead of all the legendary singers.

Bond always loved casinos - but he didn't deserve that!

The best in Bond........2004-06-13

This CD is awesome. Most of the titles from the past and present including Die Another Day! They are very well made, and very close to the songs. Completely worth getting for any James Bond Fan.

Pretty Good Renditions.......2004-04-14

If you like James Bond 007 music themes from the motion pictures you should find this to be a very satisfying album. "The James Bond Theme" and "Thunderball" sound first-rate. I found the cover art very interesting, as are the musical arrangements.

The Best.......2004-01-07

All the other Bond CDs are bad. This One is the best. I rate it 10 out of 10 stares.-------Sharif Michael Almaani

Although Henry Purcell usually is cited as the greatest master of English text-setting, such judgments ignore the genius of John Dowland, whose music not only is totally accordant with its texts, but whose melodies are invariably memorable and eminently singable. This recording offers a variety of vocal works, most for mixed voices, accompanied by Anthony Rooley's well-tuned and tastefully realized lute figures. Of the program's 18 songs, 11 are by Dowland; the rest are by several contemporaries--Morley, Tomkins, and Weelkes--who both encouraged and were influenced by Dowland's unique musical persona, a remarkable combination of "distraught melancholy" and flawless melodic and harmonic instincts. Familiar and beloved tunes are here, including "Come again!" and "Sleep wayward thoughts." But just as compelling are Tomkins's "Weep no more, thou sorry boy" and Claudin de Sermisy's "Las, je m'y plains." The four voices--some of England's finest early-music singers--are so distinct that rather than a carefully blended ensemble, we hear each individual voice clearly defined. It's an interesting effect that works well and adds immeasurably to the color and mood of the music. --David Vernier

Customer Reviews:

four voices: evelyn tubb - soprano, lucy ballard - alto, andrew king - tenor, and simon grant - bass. for those of you who think that the human voice is about as pretty a musical instrument that's ever been invented, this is a disc for you. divine stuff. director, anthony rooley adds some nice lute, too. don't miss it.

What a voice! Why has Joni not gotten wider acclaim? No matter. Treat yourself and get this one. Joni is a little like Ella, a little like Sarah, but is her own singer above all. An absolute natural. A beautiful recording with dead-on backup players, an absolute joy for fans of jazz vocals.
