What a gift!.......2006-10-17

This cd has made my drive to work so pleasant! Though there are admittedly, a few songs I usually (but not always) skip, I feel nearly religious about how wonderful the readings on this cd are, and find myself bringing up out of thin air during random conversations.

For me, the stand out pieces are "Shall I compare thee..." which is sung so beautifully, "Sweet love doth now invite..." (which, I saw that Sting has now recorded on his new album but it is a little dry), Juliette Stevenson's wonderful playfulness with her sonnet, Fiona Shaw's reading, and Ralph Fiennes' piece where his voice is full of sharp intensity.

My seven year old has that one memorized. It is something to hear.

I've also recommended this cd to people for whom Shakespeare is a particularly tough egg to crack. Every day you hear a new angle you hadn't picked up on nor considered before, and in the readers' light it becomes simple to understand.

Beautiful, well-chosen sonnets.......2006-08-24

The musical interludes did not really capture my attention vocally, except for Rufus Wainright's who gave the tune a nice style. The speakers had excellent voices and grasp of the material. I especially like Alan Rickman's, Juliet Stevenson's, Susanah Harker's, and Kenneth Branagh's readings. I recommend this CD especially if you are a Shakespeare fan.

RADA; Royal Academy of Deficient Actors when compared to Joe Fiennes.......2006-07-18

If you enjoy Shakespeare you will appreciate this recording of various sonnets performed by various English actors. Some are presented as musical pieces which seem forced and not enough time is allowed between readings,
HOWEVER, the most interesting aspect of the recording is that Mr. Fiennes, who was rejected by RADA as a student, is the only non-RADA graduate invited to participate in the recording.
Also , he is given the honor of performing the first and last selections. The reason why is obvious. His performance is so far superior to the others you wonder why they didn't just let him record the entire program.

I wish Alan Rickman................2006-04-28

I wish Alan Rickman would engage in more spoken word recordings - his voice is incredible. As another reviewer wrote I, too, bought this CD for Rickman alone, but the cd is great from start to finish. Now, if Alan Rickman would only record something like Edgar Alan Poe's poems! Could you imagine THAT voice doing 'The Raven', or 'The Bells'. Haunting! Absolutely haunting. Please Mr. Rickman (bended kneee) read this and indulge your many fans!

BTW: For those of you who enjoy Alan Rickman, he has recorded 'Return of the Native' by Thomas Hardy -- it is super!

The words, the voices, the music: amazing.......2006-03-17

O.k. I'll be honest: I got this CD because of Alan Rickman. However, in the short time I've had it, I've listened to the entire album, start to finish, probably a dozen times. Rickman is amazing with his recitation of Sonnet 130, which admittedly I've listened to more than any other, but Refus Wainwright also deserves mention for a beautiful musical rendition of Sonnet 29. Although I don't know who Henry Goodman is, his version of Sonnet 46 does such an excellent job of capturing the witty back and forth of the eye and heart at war. I was also pleased to see some names (and hear some voices) that I do recognize: Imogen Stubbs, Kenneth Branagh, John Hurt, Annie Lennox, Juliet Stevenson, and Ralph Fiennes--and that's just naming a few of the greats making an appearance on this CD. Finally, if you don't like any of the actors/musicians I've mentioned, you should buy this album just for the sonnets themselves. It's a must-have for any true Shakespeare fan.

The best from The Best Singer and Tenor of all time........2007-04-24

This is a beautiful collection of songs. Once again it exhibits the depth and breath of Mario Lanza's vocal abilities. It is wonderful to hear him sing such lovely melodies. It is also splendid to read Derek Mannering's explanation of how Lanza interpreted each song with his heart and soul. For anyone who is a fan of Mario's, this collection is worth the price.

Gorgeous.......2001-11-25

Most of these songs are from the popular radio show he did in the 50's, when his voice was at it's best. I own numerous Lanza cds, and I can never get enough of his glorious voice and these beautiful songs. A lot of them can be found on other albums, it's true, but the first song is a previously unreleased gem, which was a big selling point with me. How could I pass this up? Also a lot of the songs are different versions from others I have, so this album was definately a must have, for me. I think that anyone who is a true Lanza fan, will love this cd.

Another great CD by the greatest singer of all time!!!.......2001-07-17

Derek Mannering has done it again in releasing yet another first class CD collection by the "Voice of the Century", Mario Lanza. Most of the items on this album have been previously released either on vinyl, CD, or both, but this collection is worth having nonetheless. The one item here never before released is the beautifully sung "All the Things You Are" and did Lanza ever serve this one up in first class fashion. The singing here is extremely fresh and vibrant. A recording that I don't believe has been on CD before is the "You Are Love", from Showboat, presented here (different from the performance on the definitive "Don't Forget Me" C). Lanza shows us here a truly passionate and ardent Gaylord Revenal. No other singer sang this song as well. "On the Street Where You Live" is given a very virile and beautiful rendition by Lanza. I don't know where or when I have ever heard the song "Where or When" sung this well. The rest of the selections on this offering are terrific as well, but can be found on other collections. This collection is worth owning, if for no other reason than for the four selections previously mentioned. The sound quality is excellent, giving the Mario Lanza voice the benefit of its full presence. Lanza definitely had a true flair for the popular song and Broadway ballad, as well as the ringing operatic aria, no doubt about it. If you're looking for a collection of classic standard and Broadway tunes performed with the mastery and excellence that only Mario Lanza could deliver, this CD is the one for you. Highly recommended!!!

Album Description

This is a recording of twenty-three romantic vintage songs from the concert hall and musical theater which were immensely popular with American audiences from the late nineteenth century through the l940s and were associated with the well-known baritones of their time such as Lawrence Tibbett and Nelson Eddy. These are songs of love, the sea, adventure!

The songs in this collection are sung by Steven Rainbolt, baritone, expertly accompanied by Robert Muckenfuss, piano. The vintage bravura and love songs in this recording showcase the vibrant warmth and rich timbre of Steven Rainbolt's robust baritone singing. Here he has invested songs of a bygone American era with an insightfully expressive understanding of the lyrics. His performance is at once stirring and beautiful, creating music that lingers in the mind to please heart and soul long after listening.

Customer Reviews:

classic male vocalist.......2001-05-06

This is wonderful. Timeless classics beautifully done. Made me happy... and calm in a age of haste and tension. By the time I got home from work, listening in the car, I was content and mellow and life was good again.

Wonderful songs and a marvelous voice.......2001-04-25

Steven Rainbolt has the most beautiful baritone voice-warm and rich and compelling. And the familiar, old-time songs he is singing here are of such variety anyone could find something to love, whether it's a heartfelt, poignant romantic melody or a rousing, spirited sea song. I love this CD!!! There's song for every mood and each one is a treasure.

Don't miss this Magnificent Voice & these fine Vintage Songs.......2001-04-22

The "Classical Singer" review [April 2001] praising this beautifuly sung and accompanied music piqued my interest--a baritone, a piano, fine old classic American songs! I ordered it and have enjoyed it very much. Steven Rainbolt has a wonderfully rich and expressive, robust, lyrical, at times heartbreakingly tender, baritone voice with thrilling resonance---nothing bland about it! His voice is well-suited to the twenty-three romantic songs of love, the sea, adventure in this recital. This is not background music for a party. Rainbolt's singing is far too compelling. You will want to savor every nuance of his singing without interruption. There is music here that will move you deeply such as "When I Have Sung My Songs to You." There is music here that will remind you of what love is meant to be in selections such as "Beautiful Dreamer" (the artist's own arrangement and the best I've heard), "My Lady Walks in Loveliness," "Sylvia," "If I Could Tell You," and "Who Are We To Say?" His deeply resonant "Shenandoah" is classic! Rainbolt's impeccable diction gives life and meaning to each word, sensitively enhancing the lyrics. Dramatic and spirited songs of adventure (the rogue songs)such as "Song of the Vagabonds" showcase a voice clearly also at home in operatic roles. You will find yourself humming the delightful Rudyard Kipling poem "Rolling Down to Rio" with its marvelously rippling accompaniment. There is much here to please those who love the sea. "Trade Winds" is lovely, a sailor's tender lullaby! The piano accompaniment for each song is delightful, superb! I liked the artist's program notes and having the words to the songs included in the CD booklet. This CD compares quite favorably to Thomas Hampson's "An Old Song Resung."

Beautiful Melodic Music! Unforgettable Voice!.......2001-04-16

These heritage songs gave me infinitely more than an hour of great listening. They stirred my heart--especially the love songs. The sincere tenderness and depth of emotion in Steven Rainbolt's very moving voice coupled with beautiful melodies and poetic words conspire to create music that shows my generation just how impoverished we are when it comes to love songs. The songs on this CD focus on what love can give. The songs of my generation by comparison all too often focus instead on what love can get, with love itself reduced to little more than a longing for instant self-gratification--the tuneless pounded message of rock and rap. The wonderful classic love songs here can't be topped for emotional appeal and food for the soul!
