5 out of 5 stars Elegance in sound.......2007-05-13

McKellar has one of the finest tenor voices I have heard. There is a range that is broad, while keeping a very masculine sound. I learned that he was trained classically and gave up opera after a season or two to do concert singing. These songs have lush or spare orchestral arrangements as the occasion demands. They are dramatic, even Hollywood-like, arrangements verging on schmalt, but a second hearing convinced me that he was among the finest tenors of the 20th century and the arrangements are "just right."

5 out of 5 stars Scottish Songs for a Lifetime.......2007-05-12

If I was to be only able to carry one CD with me to a desert island, this one might be my choice. The poetry of Robert Burns is entirely inspiring. The vocal performance of McKellar is adequate to Burns' work. The orchestration is rich and appropriately simple. These songs will "stick to your ribs" and leave you longing for a visit to the old sod to personaly perceive the beloved ambiance they evoke.

5 out of 5 stars Simply exquisite!.......2007-05-06

Who can sing like this today? Vocalion has done it again -- two of Kenneth McKellar's wonderful Decca recordings from 1961 and 1962 brought together for a wonderful vocal treat. There are things the lover of the English art song and ballad cannot be without -- Jennifer Vyvyan's lovely renditions of Michael Head's Foxgloves and Roger Quilter's Love's philosophy; Eileen Farrell's stentorian Sing to me by Sydney Homer; John Mark Ainsley's rhapsodic performance of Quilter's Go, Lovely Rose, and Kenneth McKellar singing Land of Heart's Desire, Sleeps the Noon in the Deep Blue Sky and Robert Burns' My love is like a red, red rose. Happily, these songs are preserved on this terrific release. McKellar had a wonderful, powerful and lyric tenor voice. His operatic and oratorio singing is moving on top of being very musical -- dynamics, portamento, etc., scrupulously observed and artistic; however, his sining of art songs, folk songs and ballads is exemplary and always, underscored ALWAYS moving and right on the mark. McKellar had a real affinity for this music and it simply erupts from the grooves (oops, I'm dating myself)!

The Songs of Robert Burns is lovely -- I defy anyone to listen to McKellar's rendition of My love is like a red, red rose, and come away without a tear in the eye. In my opinion, however, the true gem is the release of McKellar's Songs of the Hebrides. Vocalion includes McKellar's spoken introductions to these songs and it is incredible. One might think that it would sound trite, but McKellar is right on the mark and the introductions make the songs that much more memorable. Marjory Kennedy-Fraser is surely smiling down from heaven as this is the most beautiful and atmospheric recording of her Songs of the Hebrides. McKellar scales down his powerful voice for Land of Heart's Desire and it is ravishing. No one comes away unmoved. Again, who can sing like this today? I tried to think of any tenor or baritone singing today that could come close to this kind of a performance -- I could not think of one. Thank you Vocalion for bringing these performances back to light. Speaking of the recording, it is lush, with that beautiful early stereophonic sound preserved. For the lover's of the art song, ballad or folk song, you MUST have these performances.

3 out of 5 stars Love and frustration.......2007-03-08

This recording has some wonderful Scottish songs by a super Scottish tenor. The difficult part for me is that I need the sheet music to go with one of the songs, but I had no luck locating it anywhere. There are other versions of the song ("My heart's in the highlands") available but none like this one. Is there any chance you could help me find it??

Sincerely,
Lyndall

5 out of 5 stars A Comic-Opera Treasure!.......2007-01-28

Dittersdorf is a sort of working-man's Mozart; in fact, this opera sounds similar to some of Mozart's early operas. But Mozart sought to break the rules and to explore new musical ideas; Dittersdorf is not an innovator...yet he is no less a master! This performance, too, is a materpiece of refined (not always!) comedy; the arias include some extremely difficult vocal leaps and trills, yet the primary joy is the witty verse. W.H. Auden (no less!) ramrodded this translation to English. And Anna Russell, famed for her "Analysis of Wagner's Ring Cycle" steals every scene she's in! Ad-libbing shamelessly, her introductory aria, all by itself, is worth more than the purchase price!

5 out of 5 stars an obscure delight!.......2002-07-31

Eleanor Steber's image on the cover of this set caught my eye while rummaging through the cut-out bins of San Francisco on a recent opera whirlwind. What a lost treasure this performance is - recorded "LIVE" in NYC 1965! All the principles shine, their energy ebullient. Don't hesitate, buy it and smile before it disappears.

    5 out of 5 stars Sluts are a must!.......2004-09-06

    This band is a breath of fresh air admist all the "britney's" and "christina's" of the world (no offense)! The CD is absobloodlylutely marveulous. The music is completely original, the lyrics are quirky, and I hope the Sluts of Trust are here to stay. I COMPLETELY recommend this!

    5 out of 5 stars Much, Much More..........2004-08-31

    I have a problem, not something of any real consequence, mind, but an annoyance none the less. I find myself telling eveyone I meet about the Sluts of Trust, yet when one of my dearest friends asks to borrow my copy, I start growling and revert to my primitive defences, as if I were protecting my last living child, instead of a used CD. Oh and if they want to burn it, it's not pretty. Primatively, think of the meaning of 'burning' (pause). Yeah. Not to mention the fact that you would not be rendering the the proper dues to the artist. (you think I'm obbsessive of the CD? Look a little deeper.) So formally unbenouced,(as of two minutes ago) I proffess my love of the glorious Sluts of Trust, publicly. (a group of high school Sophomores aren't as public as it may seem) Needless to say I probably need another copy so I wont feel deprived while enlightening new sluts, as we all are, most are only in the deepest ignorance imaginable, while I'm drumming my two fore fingers to the various beats of 'Greatest Gift'. It's a vicious cycle.

    5 out of 5 stars You wanted the best...........2004-07-19

    Sluts of Trust are the best new band right now. They are totally original. Their songs like "Piece o You" and "Leave You Wanting More" are the best. They are full of hard rock riffs and memorable lyrics. They are confrontation and in your face. They are amazing live. It's a record to get. We are all sluts of trust.

    5 out of 5 stars Best group out of Glasgow in years.......2004-05-27

    I'm afraid I could hardly write a review to do the band justice. No matter what rock you like, you're more than likely to be hooked on to the Sluts, or at least intrigued by them. John's riffs are amazing; Anthony's beats are jaw dropping. Their raw tunes bring you back to your primitive roots and the combination of guitar, drums, and vocals are mind blowing. It's hard to believe that only two guys are making all of that noise. Sometimes the vocals are flawed, but it only adds to their unique quatlity that makes the Sluts such a gem.

    Seeing them perform is like being in the presence of a guitar god accompanied by Jesus on the drums. If you ever get a chance to see them live, do. There is just no comparison for them. The Sluts of Trust is an uncommon duo, but that is what makes them wonderful. Get their first album while you can; these guys are going places.

    Best known these days for her daytime talk-show stint with Regis Philbin, Kathie Lee Gifford is an accomplished vocalist, especially on slow, sentimental ballads. On Born for You, she tackles plenty of cabaret favorites that focus on the theme of lasting love. With influences that range from jazz ("Moondance") to classical ("On My Way to You"), Lee does her best to liven up these well-worn standards with her smooth-as-silk voice. "Circle Game" and "Only My Pillow Knows" feature subtle contributions from Dolly Parton, "Child in Me" employs a children's chorus, and a string section accompanies Lee on the title track. Unfortunately, many new listeners will find Lee's impeccable tone on these songs monotonous and disappointing. --Jason Verlinde

    5 out of 5 stars If you don't buy this, then you are an idiot........2005-10-20

    Any third world child laborer could bang a stick on a very empty can, while screeching out barbaric and unmelodious jibber jabber, and it could properly be called music. But what should we call a more glorious, though baroquely bloated, and very jolly sonic emanation; one that sounds as revolting and sublimely insipid as the album, "I was Born for You [!]" by the newly "slutted out" Kathie Lee Gifford? This is an important question, so I shall return to it later in this review.

    For now, we will pursue the issue of whether or not this music would be sold at Wal-mart. We have not yet determined whether or not Gifford's album can be properly called music, or musical. Thus, this question cannot be confidently asked of the album "Born for You[!]", for even if there is evidence to support this contention, we could not assume therefore that "Born For You!" qua musical entity even exists.

    When does odiousness become a form of knowing? If you don't know the answer to this question, you need to crank up the Kathy Lee. Right now. Just as some silly Jesuit might proclaim: That is My dog, That dog is a father, Therefore that dog is my father-no one could deny the claim that because Gifford was born, it is therefore established that she was Born for You. Just as the name of her album implies.

    So, I conclude that you really need to hear this album. It doesn't matter if you're a rum-jhumbi banging coconuts against your chest, or a transgendered methadone bride...Kathy Lee Gifford was Born for you! When one imagines the dialectical relationship between musical standards, such as those on Gifford's album, and the negative whirling bacchanalian swirl of the transgenerational continuum of prog-rock sexuality, one can sometimes become frozen in formal quagmire of a corroded yet sonorous hyper-consciousness. That is why it is very important to remember that Kathy Lee Gifford is a very bad woman, who serves the devil 24 hours a day.

    Buy a copy for yourself, and that lady you like from church!

    4 out of 5 stars Beware of posters with an axe to grind........2005-02-18

    Many of these 1-star postings are laughable and many are obviously from punks who never listened to the record and have sore need of a life. One's opinion of her as a person or a talk show host is not the issue here, but well how she performs this intriguing variety of songs. While her voice certainly does not evoke Streisand (a woman far easier to dislike!), it is smooth, tender and soulful throughout, more than compensating for her limited range.

    This was meant not only as a portrait of her life, but as a love letter to her husband and children, and that alone makes it worthwhile. Take advantage of these bargain prices and give it a chance.

    5 out of 5 stars A wonderful album from a wonderful singer.......2004-09-27

    Kathie is a complete unknown in Britain. I only came across her music when I learned that Dolly Parton contributed backing vocals to one of the songs on this album. I knew that Dolly would only have done this if Kathie were a good singer - and I was right although this was not the first of Kathie's albums that I bought. I actually started with Sentimental and the Christmas album, both albums filled with covers of classic songs, mainly romantic ballads. I loved them both so I immediately bought this album, which also contains several covers but contains some original material too. While this is not quite as exciting as those other two albums, it is still an album of a very high quality.

    Kathie's voice has a tender, dreamy quality ideally suited to the romantic ballads that dominate this album, just as they dominated the other two albums that I mentioned. Kathie is less suited to dramatic up-tempo songs like Don't rain on my parade, but some of you will appreciate its inclusion as it provides a change of tempo.

    The covers include Circle game (Joni Mitchell), It goes like it goes (from Norma Rae), Moondance (Van Morrison), Here's that rainy day (from the songbook of Jimmy Van Huesen), Before the parade passes by (from Hello Dolly), Don't rain on my parade (from Funny girl), I got lost in his arms (from Annie get your gun), On my way to you (co-written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman with Michel LeGrand), Sunrise sunset (from Fiddler on the roof) and Try to remember (from The Fantastiks). Some of the other songs are originals but it may be that some are covers. Note that Sweet dreams is NOT a cover of the song made famous by Patsy Cline although I'm sure that Kathie could sing that song superbly.

    The album is built around the concept of Kathie's life story. In that respect, it falls short - it sounds to me like a series of songs that relate to particular events in Kathie's life but no more than that. I don't mind that as Kathie is among my favorite singers and doesn't need to worry about clever concepts. The album includes a 24 page booklet containing full lyrics and plenty of family photographs.

    It is always hard for me to pick out highlights from an album so full of quality but here I'll nominate Born for you (which opens and closes the album), Circle game, Sweet dreams, Moondancing (with Collin Raye on backing vocals) and Only my pillow knows (with Dolly Parton on backing vocals).

    If you are new to Kathie's music, I'd recommend starting with Sentimental or the Christmas album both of which I reviewed a long time ago - or the more recent gospel album, which I've yet to hear. If you enjoy those, you'll enjoy this too.

    5 out of 5 stars Born for You.......2004-07-03

    I was lucky enough to find this CD at Big Lots! I bought it because I like Kathie Lee - I didn't even know that she could sing. I LOVE THE CD. -- every song except the Parade one! But every other song I LOVE! Her voice is wonderful and the selection of songs is great. I plan on buying one for a friend.
    The arrangements are beautiful. I am so happy that I found it!
    Thanks to Kathie Lee!!
    Love, Marilyn Ryan

    4 out of 5 stars Pleasant Surprise.......2002-04-26

    Ok so its Kathie Lee, but this cd is not as bad as you think. BORN FOR YOU is a collection of adult contemporary standards as well as some new songs. Yes its Kathie Lee but just listen to the music. She does have a nice voice, I don't think she would be singing this material if she couldn't handle it. While I think this is a nice cd, her pop effort HEART OF A WOMAN was slightly disapointing, as a understatement, but this has Gifford in control of her vocals and singing songs she actually sounds good singing.

    BORN FOR YOU is filled with love songs which will take you back to the time they were popular, some will make you smile, make you laugh, make you cry or just think, but its a good collection for the most part. The one misstep I believe was "Before the Parade Passes by/Don't Rain on My Parade", this one is not very well suited for her voice. Some highlights though include the touching title track, "Help Is On The Way", "Only My Pillow Knows" (with Dolly Parton), "It Goes Like It Goes/Sweet Dreams", "First Time/Not Exactly Paris". Its a pleasant cd to listen to to relax to and just enjoy.
