An interesting complement to the 1st CD.......2003-03-16

I acquired the Mack and Mabel CD with Caroline in the cast 2 years ago. I was immediately smitten by the singer belting "Time Heals Everything". ... Two months ago, a friend suggested I listen to "What I did For Love". I instantly liked the 1st CD. And decided to acquire her second CD. Well, the collection is interesting. Similar with the 1st Cd, it is also diverse. However, what is unique with the CD is that it offers less drama and more FUN. ... Aquarius is very interesting. Perhaps and perhaps and What Kind of Fool have instant "grab". However for me, the most cherished songs are "If You Love Me"; "I Can Cook Too", "Big Spender", and "Kissing You. I do hope she would include in her upcoming recordings more Sondheim songs, and "As if We Never Said Goodbye".

Another gem from Caroline...........2002-09-28

Caroline's first solo CD 'What I Did for Love' has been one of my favourites for quite a while, so I was eager to get my hands on a copy of her second solo recording. Featuring songs taken from her one woman show 'From Stage To Screen', this CD is a compilation of songs from various films and musicals. I must admit when I first heard this CD I was a little disappointed. It didn't have the initial 'grab' of her fist solo CD. But slowly this CD has really grown on me. With an interesting choice of numbers (including a version of Abba's 'Dancing Queen'), Caroline's wide vocal range once again shines as she pours raw emotion into her voice. It's amazing to hear how easily Caroline slips from the musical jollity of 'I Can Cook Too' and 'Look What Happened To Mabel' to more comtempary hits such as 'Dancing Queen' and 'What Kind Of Fool'. This is a must have CD for all Caroline fans, and if you love wonderful voices that stir the senses and tingle the spine, be sure to give this a listen. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

A must!.......2001-09-02

If I could give the CD 4 and a half stars I would, because What Kind of Fool and Dancing Queen need to be categorised into the "what were you thinking?" file. The rest is wonderful, bar People which pales in comparison to the original but a great version nonetheless.

Mein Herr is amazing, easily the best track, Look What Happened to Mabel coming a very close second (I saw Caroline perform this song in Mack & Mabel and the standard was exactly the same, fantastic).

In my opinion Caroline's best with the belters which is why those two songs and also Big Spender stand out, very saucy! This CD comes very highly recommended for anyone into musical theatre and such, Caroline is fabulous.

Caroline is at it again!!!!.......2001-06-18

Being a huge fan of her first cd "what I did for love" I thought that this would be better, in some ways it is, and in some ways its not. Caroline really reaches out in her selections on this CD, in ways that is good and in ways its bad.

1. Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps: this is a cute song not very memorable though

2. What Kind of Fool: again cute not very memorable

3. If you Love Me: done very nicley

4. Look What Happened to Mabel: I LOVE this for some reason, i find myself listening again & again.

5.People: not as good as Babs, but good none the less

6.Buenous Aires: One of the beter songs on the recording, I can so see her playing Evita after listening to this.

7.Kissing you: I adore this song and Caroline dose it well, who would have ever thought to do it, though. leave it to Caroline

8.Aquarius: ???? Why? Why? Why?!

9.Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend: cute and VERY memorable, what a gem (no pun intened)

10.Mein Herr: 1 word: SUPERB!!!

11. I Can Cook Too: one of the best songs on the recording

12.The Impossible Dream: okay

13: Big Spender: Intresting with only one person, i like it

14. Dancing queen:???? Why? Why? Why?, yet i always listen to it more then once

15. My Man. Best song on the CD, just as good or even better that Babs!

Insipid lyrics-just what I wanted!.......2001-01-27

I received this CD several days ago and have just ordered two more copies of it so I can play it in the car and living room as well as on the computer. I also have "Vienna, City of My Dreams" sung by Placido Domingo in German and love them both. Many years ago before I ever knew who Richard Tucker was, I bought his record, "Vienna, My City of Dreams" with those English lyrics-I wore out three copies of that record and am finally getting it on CD-regardless of the language he sings in, Richard Tucker's music is a treasure and how wonderful that it will never be silenced!!

An Operetta Gem.......2000-06-29

For those of us who have an unbridled passion for operetta, this CD is a treasure. The focus here is Richard Tucker. Fourteen of the 22 tracks are by him. There is much love and affection in these readings. The english translations are just fine. Original languages are just as confectionary in their own tongue. This is part of the magic--part of the fantasy. I would like to have seen this as a single vehicle for Mr. Tucker. The other selections were extracted from full production highlights from other albums and were transition works from operetta to American musical comedy--Song of Norway, Show Boat and Kismet. While nice, they do not necessarily qualify as essential operetta. My only real concern with the collection is Mr. Tucker's use of falsetto for the concluding high note on four selections. This was particularly disconcerting in the revered Siecynski favorite, VIENNA, MY CITY OF DREAMS. The transition to the high note resembled a yoddle. He hits the same notes so beautifully in the other numbers. But what the heck, you still have 10 other solos to treasure. An investment well worth the price.

Beautiful Singing Sabotaged by Insipid Lyrics.......2000-02-27

Kitch!

Wonderful singing, really wonderful, but 12 (of 22) of the songs are marred by the insipid lyric translations of Merl Puffer and Deena Cavalieri. Unfortunately, the singers sing so well that you hear every word with crystal clarity. Here are some lines: Darling trust in me, for I'll always be a loving subject waiting your command...for a love sincere, conquers every fear...champagne will flow, and our hearts will glow...social pressures I faithfully shun, I defy, those who pry, boredom exists everywhere, and I'll escape from it's snare...ah, you see, what love can be...I languish as I linger, from love's fragile bloom, if you'll but raise a finger, I'll clime to your room, the night is growing colder, the world is growing older, don't turn an icy shoulder. I am no expert on poetry but I think that stuff is awful. If these lyrics won't bother you, these are beautifully sung operetta/show tunes. Tucker and Della Casa are fantastic.

An enchanting disc.......1999-04-15

An enchanting disc with Richard Tucker in quite unbelieveably fine voice, even purists will quickly adjust to the slightly cute "English lyrics"

The great surprise of this disc is that it is sung in English using slightly suspect English lyrics, rather than translations it seems, of the non-American works. Mostly it does not matter much, occasionally they are an improvement or even enlighten the music, such as Lehar's "I have been in love before" from his Paganini. In other cases they seem quite unnecessary or simply wrong and difficult to sing to boot. Given that Tucker also sometimes applies an accent that seems vaguely Viennese and it might seem to add up to a recipe for disaster. Not so at all. The voice wins you over within minutes and the recording and remastering were clearly undertaken with equal and genuine affection.

Then there are the pieces sung by other than the tenor, such as Lisa Della Casa singing Vilja and the Merry Widow Waltz, once again in English, with her individual timbre complete with her usual melancholy tones plus simply exquisite top notes, no strain at all. Della Casa has a distinct and charming (natural, of course) Swiss-German accent mainly evident in the Waltz she sings & hums with John Reardon.

In between we find Tucker singing one of the sacrileges of the re-constructed English lyrics, Zeller's "Roses from Tyrol", it misses the originals dialectic charm, "Schenkt man sich Rosen in Tyrol" does not translate somehow as "In the Tyroler lover knows the special promise of a rose for every blosom that you send swears that your love will never end.......". But the singing is so lovely and the last top note bewitchingly floated you forget the quibbles.

The tempos are leisurely but never quite pure schmalz, even in the Grieg' Song of Norway.

The worst lyric irritation I found to be Heuberger's "Im Chambre separee" as "in our seculded rendevue." English instead of German and French as well as being sung by a tenor, for which it may well have been written but here it lacks the soprano accompaniment. I prefer this as two soprano voices in the original sprachen. The text here really is not well matched to the notes though Tucker fits the syllable's across octaves where necessary, swallowing others that can't be fitted in. Again he finishes on an amazing high note floated literally into the distance.

I am amazed how Allers & Tucker make the Romberg piece sound like an operratic version of Rawhide. I adore Hadley & Swenson in "Stranger in Paradise" as well as the others, especially the rare Della Casa and as I type this I am listening to it all on the computer's CD player for the N'th time since I unwrapped my considerably less than 10 bucks worth.

Recommended with reservations on the lyrics but not the extent of content. For purists it will provide many hours of unravelling fact from fiction whilst producing a glow of well being in the process.

Duyet Do.......2005-07-18

The fact that a Handel's opera is sung in German (instead of English) and performed by a conventional orchestra (instead of a trendy "authentic" ensemble) might upset a lot of radical folks. It does not matter since this recording is just absolutely marvelous. Wunderlich's singing is amazingly fresh, combined with wonderful conducting from Kubelik. The sound is beautifully balanced, and I can not believe that it is actually in mono. If you never listened to Handel's operas, try this one and I guarantee you will fall in love with his music. Forget about those newer recordings played by the squeaky authentic forces. To me their sound is thin, weak and pale compared to the stormy, divine sound of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks under Rafael Kubelik. Just listent to the Sinfonia of Act Three and you will see what I mean.

I actually own the Orfeo set, which I believe is the same as this set. However, do try to find the Orfeo set. You won't disappoint!
