Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Following on from his Something Wonderful CD, Bryn Terfel has done a bit of a repeat performance with this recording, even doubling up on some numbers. He's certainly an improvement on other opera singers who attempt to sing this repertoire, but there always remains the lack of true engagement that comes with not having actually ever sung any of the roles. This doesn't apply to all the numbers. "On the Street Where You Live", for example, is such a standard number in itself that it can withstand it. The same goes for "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" and "You'll Never Walk Alone", but "How to Handle a Woman" doesn't stand up to rolling Rs, over-enunciation or over-acting, to say nothing of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" or "Get Me to the Church on Time", complete with cockney accent. However, that said, Terfel has lots of oomph and personality which comes across enough to make this a valid recording, were it not for the production which is rather disturbing with Terfel sounding like he is singing from the wings. Paul Daniels provides a lively accompaniment with the English Northern Philharmonia. The Chorus of Opera North is surprising sloppy most of the time. --Antonia Couling

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting! 31 Jan 2013
By Carmen
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Lovely rich voice, great selection of songs, though several are also on his CD "If ever I would leave you", so you would double up a bit. Good value as there are 22 tracks. Great for fans of musicals with the added bonus of a truly great voice performing them.

3.0 out of 5 stars A compilation from previous Bryn Terfel releases 26 Jan 2013
By Anon
Format:Audio CD
Before buying this, be aware that the disc is a compilation of the tracks from two of Bryn Terfel's previous releases -- "Something Wonderful" and "If Ever I Would Leave You". If you already have one of the other two it really doesn't make sense to buy this disc: buy the other one instead, which will save you buying some of the same tracks all over again and will give you a better collection of Bryn Terfel's work.

There is, however a so-called "bonus track" on this disc: Iving Berlin's "White Christmas", which is on neither of the two earlier discs (and is Bryn singing solo, so not the manufactured "duet" with Bing Crosby on Bryn's set of Christmas music). If you want that, head off to the download section and buy that track by itself.

Note also, the track listing provided by Amazon is incomplete (unless the CD content has been changed over the years), showing 18 tracks. The customer picture clearly shows 22 tracks and also confirms my point that "The tracks on this album are taken from Something Wonderful and If Ever I Would Leave You".
