jaimeeduardo 26th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Maria Callas / Renata Tebaldi - I Grandi Interpreti (1963)	Disc title from container. An interesting pairing on one disc of two supposed opera rivals. At the time this disc was issued, listeners were often outspoken in support of one soprano or the other.

jaimeeduardo 24th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Elena Suliotis - Operatic Recital (1967)	Elena Suliotis later used the name Elena Souliotis, Souliotis being closer to the original Greek spelling. Disc title from container. Issued also in mono: OM 36018.
jaimeeduardo 24th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Mária Gyurkovics - Operatic Recital (1968)	All selections sung in Hungarian. Disc title from container. Soprano's name appears on label in Hungarian surname order: Gyurkovics Mária; also in Russian on container: Мария Дюркович. Parallel titles on container as follow: A1 Lucia di Lammermoor–Mad Scene (Act 3) A2 Linda di Chamounix–Cavatina of Linda (Act 1) A3 Don Pasquale–Aria of Norina (Act 1) A4 Rigoletto–Aria of Gilda (Act 1) B1 Don Giovanni–Aria of Zerlina (Act 1) B2 Il barbiere di Siviglia–Aria of Rosina (Act 1) B3 Dinorah–Ombre légère (Act 2) B5 Falstaff–Aria of Nanetta (Act 3) B6 Un ballo in maschera–Aria of Oscarre (Act 3)
jaimeeduardo 24th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Joan Sutherland - Arias From "Julius Caesar" (1964)	Original 1724 title appears on container: Giulio Cesare in Egitto. This version includes new music for the 1725 production. Container title: Julius Cæsar Arias. Issued also in mono: 5876.
jaimeeduardo 24th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Al Reyes - California Corazón	Published ca. 1980. Catalogue no. appears only on container spine. B1 is the best selection. Interesting is the use of interview tapes mixed with the guitar and vocal of Reyes. The songs capture the mood/the issues facing Chicanos at the time. Though social commentary is emphasized here, Chicano Man is also most relaxing and worth repeated hearings.
jaimeeduardo 24th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Stunde Der Stars 2 (1972)	The Ricky Shayne song In Chicago is a German language cover of the original Elvis Presley version. It's well done. This disc was produced for the 1972 Olympics in München (Munich).
jaimeeduardo 24th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Das waren Hits (1972)	Disc says "Made in Holland" and STEMRA appears on label; container says "Made in Germany." Since disc was purchased in Germany and most information is in German (other than the English titles), I coded the country as Germany. This disc has superior sound qualities. I transferred all the tracks to my MP3 player and the sound quality is superb.
jaimeeduardo 23rd Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Estrellas De Oro (1978)	The Lolita on A2 is the one born 1958. She is the daughter of Lola Flores, a famous Spanish entertainer.
jaimeeduardo 23rd Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Lolita - Unvergessene Melodien (1963)	Orthography varies slightly on container for track B4: Weil ich weiss, du kommst wieder. Roter Mohn is one the songs played in my high school German class. I remember it clearly because there was some confusion about Mohn and Mond, which sound so similar. (The title means Red Poppy rather than Red Moon). It's always been my favorite Lolita song, a beautifully sad tango (written in 1938) evoking the image of the poppy that loses its beauty overnight. The entire disc is of "unforgotten melodies" that are sure to appeal to those with an interest in German popular (mostly film) music of the 1930s and 1940s. This recording is all new (in 1963), with excellent sound characteristics. This Lolita (1931-2010) is Ditta Zusa Einzinger. She was an Austrian native.
jaimeeduardo 23rd Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Lolita - Sailor, Sailor (1961)	Original German title for A1: Seemann, deine Heimat ist das Meer. Sailor (Your Home Is the Sea) is one of those rare pop songs in a foreign language that charted in the U.S. in that era. Sailor reached Billboard #5 in 1960. The U.S. hit version of Sailor contains an English language (American) verse spoken over the German vocal. The original recording is all in German. Both versions have been issued in digital form. Buyer be aware. Parallel titles in English or German on container: A1 Seeman [i.e. Seemann] A2 The Moon A4 Memory of Love B4 The Wide World Outside B5 When the Southwind Blows B6 My Ship Is Called Homesickness The album presents a couple fine songs by Lolita, but others seem to be fluff– fillers that don't show the best Lolita has to offer, This Lolita (1931-2010) is Ditta Zusa Einzinger.
jaimeeduardo 23rd Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Renata Tebaldi And Mario Del Monaco - Famous Operatic Duets (1966)	Cover photo of soprano Renata Tebaldi and tenor Mario del Monaco in costume for Verdi'a Aida.
jaimeeduardo 22nd Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Liane - Liane Sings German Cabaret Songs Of The '20's With The Boheme Bar Trio (1961)	This is one of several entertainers with the name Liane. This one is Liane Augustin (18 November 1927 – 30 April 1978) according to Wikipedia. Though tracks are indicated on the labels, the sides have no visible tracks and the selections play like a complete nightclub act, without specific breaks. This is one of my favorite LPs. Liane's soft, pleasant voice and intimate manner make these sentimental songs unforgettable. Library of Congress Control No.: 71763002 Probably published in the 1950s.
jaimeeduardo 22nd Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Kirsten Flagstad - Beethoven • Wagner • Weber (1966)	Track A1 is a concert aria; the remainder are arias from operas. Disc title from container. Recorded 1935-1937. "Legacy Series." Flagstad lived from 1895-1962. Her opera star status began at age 40 when she debuted at the Metropolitan Opera in New York (the same time as these recordings). Ah! perfido (A1) is one of my Flagstad favorites. The liner notes (by John Parry) describe her voice as one of "beauty, nobility and power." It seems odd to use the word "noble" to describe the sound of a voice, but that is just the feeling one gets when listening to Flagstad in this aria. The pure, soaring, diamond clear sound is always magical. All these tracks are transcribed from 78rpm discs, so one would probably need to hear those original discs to really hear them best. Some of these recordings seem to lose their power when transferred to CD, and LPs likewise differ in sound quality.
jaimeeduardo 22nd Jan 2014		Vinyl Album English Chamber Orchestra, Benjamin Britten - Britten Conducts Mozart (1968)	Disc title from container. Issued also in mono. Cover photo of The Maltings, Snape, the location of the recording.

jaimeeduardo 21st Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Jeanne-Marie Darré - Concertos Pour Piano Et Orchestre (1957)	Will have to check later. I'll reply tomorrow if possible.
jaimeeduardo 21st Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Peter Kreuder - Verträumte Stunden mit Peter Kreuder	Transcribed track titles from labels are in modified German orthography. Container titles are in standard German, as follow: A1 Man müßte Klavier spielen können A2 Ich tanze mit dir in den Himmel hinein A3 Komm zurück A4 So stell' ich mir die Liebe vor A5 Madonna du bist schöner als der Sonnenschein A6 Parlez-moi d'amour A7 Heimat, deine Sterne B1 Wenn die Sonne hinter den Dächern versinkt B2 Ramona B3 Du gehst durch alle meine Träume B4 Zwei Herzen im Dreivierteltakt B5 Schöner Gigolo B6 Schlafe ein, mein Blond-Engelein B7 Frag nicht, warum ich gehe Note on performer entry: Although the label reads "Peter Kreuder und seine Solisten" (Peter Kreuder and his soloists), this doesn't seem to be the name of a group, but rather a generic credit to unnamed musicians, so I didn't enter the phrase as a performer's name. Sometimes performer data is transcribed in 45Worlds in too literal a fashion that makes little sense, as would be the case in this instance.
jaimeeduardo 21st Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Eydie Gormé And The Trío Los Panchos - More Amor (1965)	Issued also in mono: CL 2376.
