In many respects, Lily Pons was the Galli-Curci of her generation: a winning combination of good looks, charm, an appealing and non-confrontational timbre, and easy facility in the stratosphere. Those who learned the "Mad Scene" from Lucia di Lammermoor or the "Bell Song" from Lakmé via the original 78s back in the 40s will be bowled over by the vivid detail and lack of background noise in these stunning Sony restorations. First-time listeners will marvel at her effortless passagework and high notes (she often transposed her arias up on records); but may be put off by a slight thinness in the middle register (not evident in her Odeon recordings from the late 20s), sketchy intonation at times, and expedient aspirating in downward scales. Although these selections encompass a gamut of stylistic and emotional contrasts, you'd scarcely know it from the singer's pleasant but characterless interpretations, which tickle the ear without quite racking the brain. --Jed Distler

5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended.......2007-07-09

This could have been recorded yesterday, the sound quality is excellent and without blemish. By far the best recordings of Pons I have, and I would like to have others. She reminds me of Jo, separation of notes, clear, real trills, a range to rival Sumac, flexibility to perfection, and always that today neglected once standard fare of the coloratura, the requisite leap to the top note at the end of an aria. And a pretty sound. I love this album.

The quartet does an excellent job of setting the mood for whatever you are doing. It's music you can talk over and yet it is stimulating just to lay back and listen. Can't miss with this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Truly amazing!.......2003-10-09

Perhaps one of the best pianists of the century plays the music that saved his life...

Highlights are the Bach recording, which is thrilling and brilliantly played, and the two (count them!) recordings of Chopin's nocturne. Played with tons of emotion--keep in mind this particular piece saved his life--the last recording especially is truly heart-rending.

For anybody who's ever heard a piano and liked it, or for any classical music person, this is an absolute must. I listen to it over and over, and never get tired of it. It's unfortunate he didn't record CDs and CDs and more CDs of stuff I could go out and buy. You need this CD.

Even if, like me, you have yet to see the movie.

And a special thanks to the Polish radio people, who salvaged these for our immense delight in listening!

4 out of 5 stars Nostalgia.......2003-08-22

This is an 'enhanced' cd.

CD includes a video of Szpilman performing Chopin's Nocturne C# Minor (1980).

Insert is full of photos with a brief life history.

i'm bad with words so i won't write much, but this is one album you should have. if you enjoy painting a picture or making a mental image in your head while listening to music get this album. don't know what to say except it's truly beautiful.

5 out of 5 stars GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS.......2006-04-12

Gonzales delivers on this, most beautiful CD. Really, like the previous reviewer said, "just buy it." You won't be sorry. This is almost a set of etudes. He even posted the sheet music on his website, with a statement that anyone with even a little piano playing ability should be able to learn these pieces- almost sketches, but each with definate form- with only a few hours of practice. (that is if you can read music).

Anyway- this music is sublime, captivating, and also just an amazing group of tracks to listen to while walking. I often listen to it while walking through Central Park in New York City. It has an almost Debussy or Satie like charm and beauty. HIGHLY recommended. Buy the real deal CD too, don't just download the crappy mp3s of it that are floating around.

"16 themes for left hand accompaniment and right hand melody; hear the influence of French piano style (Ravel, Satie) as filtered through Canadian folk and American jazz (Nina Simone, Keith Jarrett) in his-own unique creation. Throughout the album, Gonzales' former job as silent film accompanist shines through."

And if you like this, check out the 2-CD set from TOSCA entitled "Dehli9" - which is an all solo piano set of arrangements, in a similar style. It's also beautiful. And the packaging is devine.

5 out of 5 stars just buy it.......2006-02-19

I had this recommended to me by two friends who never like anything, so I immediately sought it out. I think Gonzales' electronic solo stuff is OK, and his production is better but it doesn't hint at this!.

This is the ultimate "chillout" record (from someone who hates chillout records). Just Chili on his piano (supposely he made it when he was stressed in the midddle of a particularily difficult session with Serge gainsbourg.). beautiful and memorable melodies. It is on my Ipod, all my computers. Not classical, not jazz - something in between and totally perfect.

5 out of 5 stars One of the most amazing and surprising releases ever!.......2005-08-02

Gonzales was an electronic producer, a rapper and then he retired (or so he said). However, nobody would've suspected that he would release an amazingly beautiful stripped-down piano based album! That is exactly what this CD is, an album full of beautiful piano music, and one of the best modern piano productions of the 21st century so far! But the story behind Gonzales and his history of music makes this that much more interesting; one can see that his talent does not limit him to one area of music but it is almost limitless. This album is truly magnificent! Listen for yourself...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Andre Rieu's Romantic Paradise with selections including "The Godfather," "Strangers in Paradise,"The Rose," etc. is absolutely lovely. His violin brings out the best in these familiar songs. There is a second CD with the same title, with "Dances with Wolves" as the first selection, that will blow you away. I got mine in Europe. Hope it becomes available in the USA.

    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.
