Post by: bk on August 10, 2020, 12:10:30 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland 108, and now it is time for you to post until the 108 cows come home.

Title: Re: KRITZERLAND AT HOME 108
Post by: elmore3003 on August 10, 2020, 04:09:29 AM: I had a so-so night of sleep. I woke sometime around 4:30 and could not get back to sleep. I had been dreaming about a ridiculous comment from Dominic McHugh in his liner notes to the new Sepia release of the 1962 Columbia recording of The Merry Widow, and the blasted score kept running through my head once I woke. It's a fantastic score, but I preferred to sleep.

Post by: ChasSmith on August 10, 2020, 04:46:13 AM: WAY too little sleep, for as tired as I was last night. But I also stayed up too late and got to sleep too late, so it’s partly my fault that the night was short. I will make up for it. Mark my words.

Fantastic! Really good English version. The Kirsten recording, which is fun but archaic, uses the old standard Chappell version from 1907 and it's not nearly as faithful to the original German text. Della Casa, who sings the Widow Hanna, which is her original German name (the 1907 adaptation gave her the more "glamorous" name of Sonia, turned Count Danilo into Prince Danilo, and her Balkan country from Pontevedro to Marsovia!), sounds much like Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and that's awfully good to me. John Reardon is perfect, and the rest of the cast is wonderful. Met soprano Laurel Hurley is also excellent.

This has been my favorite English version of The Widow since I first got it through the Columbia Record Club nearly 60 years ago.

Post by: elmore3003 on August 10, 2020, 09:18:35 AM: I just finished watching the K&E spectacular, and I really enjoyed it. Kerry O'Malley and Adrienne Stieffel can do no wrong. Ever. I had forgotten I had so many friends in it.

I wish Karen Mason had also sung "The Only Game In Town" because I love her recording of it. The selection of songs was quite good, but IU think I would have preferred "Class" to "The Grass Is Always Greener," because I think it's poorly constructed and half the punch lines are not given room to be heard; the song just keeps going.

Peyton grabbed me with "Wilkommen" and I enjoyed the ride.

Post by: elmore3003 on August 10, 2020, 09:23:16 AM: On a parenthetical note to the song "Yes," my best college friend was costume assistant to Jane Greenwood who dressed 70 Girls 70, and Mildred Natwick and I were phone buddies at The Drama Book Shop. We never met although she told me I had to come and have tea with her. She was very warm and friendly. The first time I talked to her, I told her my favorite song of hers was "The Elephant Song," and she was surprised I knew it.

All of our current cats we got within the last 2 years: Leonard in October of 2018 and Asha and Magdalena in July and October of 2019.

While we have rescued many dogs & cats we have never gotten one from a shelter.

My parents' cat Henry was from a no-kill shelter that my niece used to volunteer at. He had been there a couple of years (if I remember correctly) and my niece talked my parents into getting him. Now, they seem to love Henry more than anyone else...including me and my sister and my niece! ::)
