jaimeeduardo 18th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Cristina Deutekom - Cristina Deutekom Zingt Opera-Aria's	Disc container title: Cristina Deutekom zingt Mozart aria's. Side B label has typos on B3: Or sal [sic] chi l'onore rapire a me voise [sic] is correct on container: Or sai chi l'onore rapire a me volse. Full title of opera on tracks A3, B1-B2 appears on container: Die Entführung aus dem Serail. Pub. date estimated 1965-1975. Odeon label pasted over pub. on container. Charles Vanderzand is conductor's name. This is a strong recital by Cristina Deutekom. Some of Mozart's most demanding arias (A1 and A2 with stratospheric high Fs) are presented here with fully voiced, intense and consistent singing. The coloratura technique is unusual in that each note is distinctively articulated. I've never heard anything like it.

Issued in container with booklet (40 p.) including photos and brief bios of the performers, notes on the recording, and Italian libretto with English translation. "Selected by the Metropolitan Opera." Automatic sequence. (This means sides 1 and 4 are on Disc 1, sides 2 and 3 on Disc 2; matrix numbers in similar order). Issued also in mono: LM-6095. This is one of the most popular of all operas. Solo tracks A8 and A9 are standard recital/audition numbers. B2 is also popular on recital discs. B7 is often referred to as "Musetta's Waltz." It also exists in a popular song version which was a hit in 1959 for Della Reese under the title Don't You Know. Back cover shows soprano Anna Moffo in an especially striking photo. RCA's container photos featuring this beautiful singer are of superlative quality, and no doubt helped sell her also beautiful recordings. Library of Congress Control No.: r 61001376 (using pub. date of 1961; however, libretto is c1962).

jaimeeduardo 16th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Freddy Fender - The Best Of Freddy Fender (1980)	Freddy Fender's real name, Baldemar Huerta, appears as composer on A2, B5. Cover shows date ℗1977. Recordings are taken from the albums Before the Next Teardrop Falls ℗1975, Are You Ready for Freddy ℗1975, Rock n' Country ℗1976, and If You're Ever in Texas ℗1976.
jaimeeduardo 16th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album London Symphony Orchestra, Richard Bonynge - Le Diable À Quatre (Ballet) (1965)	The music is melodic, energetic, charming. It's been a favorite for ice skaters in freestyle competitions. Each side is rather long-- both over 27 minutes. Composer is Adolphe Adam. Container is a box rather than the narrow sleeve used for single discs. A deluxe package.
jaimeeduardo 15th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Philippe Entremont - Clair De Lune (A Debussy Piano Recital) (1960)	Issued also in mono: ML 5614. Library of Congress card no.: r60-1411
jaimeeduardo 15th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Joan Sutherland - Handel Arias (1965)	Disc title from container spine. Additional performer credits: A1-A2: London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Richard Bonynge A3-A5, B2: New Symphony Orchestra of London conducted by Richard Bonygne B1: Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, conducted by Francesco Molinari-Pradelli -- B3-B5: London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir Adrian Boult. Issued also in mono: 5941. The repertoire presented here represents an unual aspect of Sutherland's career as a star of opera since some of these Handel selections are from oratorios rather than operas. Sutherland made these oratorio arias into star vehicles with her spectacular singing (listen to B1), and these oratorios represented important steps for her early in her career. Many opera stars leave this repertoire unexplored. Container has typo on A1: "Tirania [sic] gelosia ..." should be "Tiranna gelosia ..." Library of Congress control no.: 73762417
jaimeeduardo 14th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Bye Bye Fraeulein & Other New German Hits (1977)	Title on container: Bye Bye Fräulein. Track B1 incorrect on label as: Was tun wir Hongkong; B3 incorrect as: Abschieds-Souvenie [sic].

Track orthography on container is in correct German, and includes English parallel titles: A1 Bye Bye Fräulein -- A2 Der Alster Walzer -- A3 Ich liebe dich wie Apfelmus (I love you like applesauce) -- A4 Heut Abend kannst du mich küssen (Tonight you can kiss me) A5 Da hat die Eva auf einmal zum Adam gesagt (Eve said to Adam) A6 Ich könnt dich fressen (I could eat you up) -- A7 Der kleine Unterschied (The small difference) B1 Was tun wir in Hongkong (What are we doing in Hongkong?) -- B2 Im Wagen vor mir (In the car ahead of me) B3 Abschieds Souvenir (Farewell souvenir) B4 In den alten Gassen (In the old lanes) B5 Schönes Mädchen (Beautiful girl)
jaimeeduardo 14th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Joan Sutherland - Verdi Arias (1966)	Title from container spine. Additional performer credits: A1, B4: Paris Conservatoire Orchestra conducted by Nello Santi; A2 with John Dobson, tenor A2-A4: London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Richard Bonynge B1: Chorus and Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, conducted by Francesco Molinari-Pradelli B2-B3: Orchestra of the Maggio Musical Fiorentino conducted by John Pritchard; B2 with Carlo Bergonzi, tenor. Issued also in mono: 5939. Track A4 is one of Sutherland's best. This aria is early Verdi, still using the florid vocal style from an earlier era of opera. This is Sutherland as the "warrior" coloratura soprano, a strange sounding term, but one that is believable when listening to this performance. The rapid scale passages rising to an impossible high E at the end push the human voice to the limit. Sutherland earns her nickname "La Stupenda" with such singing. Library of Congress control no.: 73762203
jaimeeduardo 14th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Leon Fleisher - Concerto No. 5 In E Flat Major For Piano And Orchestra, Op. 73, "Emperor" (1961)	Title on container: Piano Concerto No. 5 in E Flat Major, Op. 73 "Emperor."

Library of Congress control no.: r 64000096
jaimeeduardo 12th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Maria Callas, Francesco Albanese, Ugo Savarese - La Traviata (Grosser Querschnitt)	Sung in Italian.
