Operetta with a slant.......2006-01-31

The sixteen selections from four Kalman and five Lehar operettas are well chosen and include many of their most popular melodies. This repertoire is generally heard in either German or English - but on this 72-minute CD, everything is sung in Hungarian. And it comes off refreshingly well. The recording is from digitally remastered analogue sources with microphone placements close to the singers.
The beautiful tenor voice of Robert Ilosfalvy favors three tracks; excellent middle voice and a very good top. His partner in the duet from Gypsy Love, Erzsebet Hazy, also sings two solos in the most accomplished manner.
Unfortunately there is only one track from the well known soprano Sylvia Sass, Maritza's entrance song, "Come Gypsy" from Countess Maritza.
The remainder of the singers acquit themselves well but none is outstanding.
This is very spirited Magyar Magic. I listened thru twice at first sitting; most enjoyable froth and bubble.

Ilona is a wonderful singer..........2001-05-03

Princess Ilona is a pop CD by Hawaiian singer Ilona Irvine. It mainly contains lovely ballads and slightly more upbeat r&b flavored tunes. "Irie" has a reggae feel to it, and features another well-known Hawaiian singer, Fiji. She does a very nice rendition of Selena's song "Missing My Baby," comparable to the Dreaming Of You version. The music on this CD isn't Hawaiian in style, but Ilona has a gorgeous voice, and she obviously has a lot of love for her home, which she expresses (along with Fiji) on my favorite track, "Special Place."
