"dominant arranger, conductor & composer ~ Percy Faith".......2005-07-17

In the early to mid '50s, Maestro Percy Faith was cranking out beautiful arrangements for singers of the Columbia Record stables (Tony Bennett, Rosie Clooney, Doris Day, Johnny Mathis and Guy Mitchell) to name just a few...but his true and real ambition was arranging tunes of the yesterday and composing songs of his own...now enters the album and tunes of "COLUMBIA SINGLES VOL. 1: 1950-1951", featuring countless melodies of many decades, all arranged in perfect order by Mr. Faith...in the next few paragraphs let's look at some of them...featuring All Star Dixielanders, Toni Arden, Russ Emery, Magic Voices (featuring Peter Hanley), Andy Roberts, Les Scott, The Shillelagh Singers, The Skylarks and Johnny Thompson...all under the watchful eye of Mitch Miller (head of artist and repertoire department) of Columbia Records.

Originally released on Columbia Records from March 16, 1950 until November 30, 1951 with the correct order of playing...the liner notes are incorrect with one song not listed as there are 28 Tracks (not 27 tracks).

3. VIOLINS FROM NOWHERE
4. THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME
5. I WAS DANCING WITH SOMEONE

Stand up and take a bow Dan Rivard (produced & compiled by), Ken Robertson (digital audio restoration), Collectables Records, Sony Music and of course "Our Man from Canada" Maestro Percy Faith have given all the fans what they have wanted and craved for years...there's a Volume 2 (1952-1958) coming your way with that "Percy Faith Sound"...gotta love it!

Modern Jazz Don't Get Much Better Than This!.......2003-07-07

This is a great disc, along with the earlier Stitt disc on CC. Stitt was really 'bout as good as Charlie Parker; apparently, however, he switched from Parker's alto to tenor sax as his career developed. On this disc, Stitt plays exclusively tenor; and his sound is quite different from other great tenor players, e.g. Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, or Lester Young. It seems he's playing more in the upper registers of the tenor. Anyway, Stitt had a dazzling technique and an optimistic ethos. This is way-cool jazz, well done.

Customer Reviews:

Of the 2 CD's One is now superseded by The California Concerts .......2006-01-04

was curious being happy with this labels other issues as to quality and sound..the label says official takes so I was somewhat surprised not knowing that this Disc 2 was the Decca live performance of Armstrong in California,Pasedena 1951...prior released by Decca (and now found in it's full expression as a disc and half on the 4 cd set The California Concerts).
In any event the 12 dollars I paid for a brand new copy of this CD is still worthwhile (considering the 24 bit sound) and while the order of the live portion duplicates the earlier Decca release,it is still a good listen..The "treasure" is the first CD with Earl Hines and Jack Teagarden,Barney Bigard,Arvell Shaw,and Cozy Cole..these studio sides are great and this import label did a great job in bringing Satchmo's total Decca output out in quality.
The notes also point out that included here is "The New Orleans function" which was on the 4 LP box set, Satchmo...A Musical Autobiography..
Disc one deserves 5 stars.

A unique singer remembered........2004-10-22

Few recordings made during lieder recitals of more than 50 years ago appear for the first time on the market nowadays. This distinction is accorded to Elisabeth Schumann (1888-1952). The recordings are taken from a New York Town Hall concert of 1950, where her accompanist was Bruno Walter, and recitals given in South Africa, Easter 1951, where her accompanist was Hubert Greenslade.

No other singer could make me believe, as Elisabeth Schumann did, that singing was as natural for humans as it was for birds. It does not matter that the beautiful silvery timbre is here a little dulled, nor that the vocal production and breath control are under careful limits. Indeed, Hugo Wolf's "Wie glanzt die helle Mond", depicting the old woman imaging how it would be when St Peter met her at Heaven's Gate, somehow gains additional poignancy in this performance from the last year of the singer's life.

Bruno Walter, still favoring arpeggiated chords in 1950, accompanied Elisabeth Schumann in 19 settings of Goethe lieder. The remaining tracks date from a South African tour a year later and reproduce slightly better. The singer still had the ability to color the voice and produce a wide dynamic range. Applause has been edited out, except where it breaks into a song's final moments.

A regret is that so many years had to elapse, as was the case with Gerd Puritz's biography of his mother, before this material was issued. Few are likely to remember a singer who retired from opera in 1938, and fewer are as interested in lieder recitals as flocked to hear this singer in the 1950s. A benefit is that the singer's granddaughter, Joy Puritz, with access to letters and family photos, can provide such a scholarly and balanced appraisal to accompany this 74 minute memento. Excerpts from Lotte Lehmann's glowing tribute to her friend and colleague are included in Joy Puritz's notes.
