Average Rating:
 Rating: - From Bach to Cole Porter............it's all great. This fine album represents Nadja's tribute to the 1947 movie classic. The title cut opens and closes the disc...in between one finds a selection of fantastic encore pieces. Particularly fine is the "Carmen Fantasie", but the entire recording is a pleasure to listen to. Nadja plays this music like she was born to it, and maybe she was. I can find fault with some of her concerto offerings, but the smaller pieces are always well done. Highly recommended.... Rating: - Simply BeautifulBoth the Movie and the Music are worthy of more than 5 stars. They both will bring more than a few tears to your eyes. See it, hear it, it's a must! Rating: - magnificentI saw the movie Humoresque when I was a child and like Nadja I never forgot either the story or the glorious music. Her recreation of the soundtrack is simply perfect. Look for the Tristan and Isolde Fantasie, which is not only the highlight of the album but the finest adaptation of T&I ever composed. This is a collector's item whether you are a Nadja Salerno Sonnenberg fan, a movie buff or just a lover of the violin. Magnificent! Rating: - This is perfectionI have not (yet) seen the 1940's film Humoresque, but this re-created soundtrack makes it a must-see. This CD combines classical music and early 20th century popular masterpieces (Cole Porter, Gershwin). Nadja displays virtuosity and heart-rending tenderness. The piano accompaniment, and the occasional vocals (on the Porter/Gershwin), are themselves perfection. This CD immediately joins the "stranded on a desert island" list. Nadja explains in detail (in the accompanying liner notes) the film, the soundtrack, and their impact on her. Rating: - Humoresque - a collector's dreamNadja's childhood attachment to these selections transcends time and is evident in these haunting, almost spiritual performances. |
