1.Coffeehouse Classics from: Intersound Records

Search : Coffeehouse Classics
I saw this CD set in a store and told my friend I would like to have it for my birthday. She bought it on the spot for me. I am so glad she did. I really wasn't a classical music fan, but I am now. I listen to this CD set while I am driving home from my job as a broadcaster. It does help you to relax. I even wrap Christmas presents to the music. I would also like to make the suggestion of finding an open field where there are lighting bugs and play this CD while watching the lighting bugs. It is better than a fireworks show. If you are into classical music this is a CD that you must have.

I did not think I would enjoy or play this Butterfly as much as I have. Somehow operas sung in English, even those originally composed in English, seem a little bit silly compared to those sung in Italian, French, and German and even Czech and Russian. Butterfly, however, transfers well to English. Just two years after its 1904 premier, the libretto was translated into English and performed with much success, particularly in the United States. After several years, however, the use of an English libretto stopped and this Butterfly is the only commercial recording currently available.

Any performance of Butterfly, unlike Turandot, is critically dependent on the excellence of its title character, and Australian soprano Cheryl Barker is up to the task. She has improved her technique ... Read More

Deanna Durbin is an unsurpassed entertainer; her popularity as a singer was a major draw to the movies she starred in. This recording showcases many lovely songs from her films. Even while singing difficult classical arias, Deanna displayed both ease and skill. In this compilation, my favorite songs are "The Turntable Song" and "Allelujah," although all of the selections are great. I was satisfied with the quality, although sometimes it sounds a bit muffled, but all in all it's good (c'mon, these were recorded in the 30s and 40s!) The only thing about this CD I would change is the cover, the graphic artist could have picked a better picture. Deanna Durbin is one of the most talented singing actresses of her time, and is often under-appreciated today.

This item was on sale; but, I would have paid the retail price for it. I had only seen a couple of the movies whose songs are represented here. Therefore, my expectations were low for the rest of the CD. However, I was delighted with each song. These songs did exactly what they were designed to do. They made me want to see the movies.
