Customer Humperdinck: Hansel & Gretel Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars AMAZING!
I think I own just about every recording of Hansel and Gretel ever made...and this one by far is the topper! Everyone comes together with abolute perfection to bring a total musical and theatrical experience to this charming opera. Especially outstanding are Jennifer Larmore and Rebecca Evans as Hansel and Gretel. They obviously immersed themselves totally in the roles and convey it beautifully to the listener. I'm not familier with Jane Henschel as a singer, but her Witch is awesome! Just the right touch of comic and menacing qualities. Charles Mackerras' conducting and the beautiful playing by The Philharmonia provide the cream on the top. I must also mention that this recording has some wonderful sound effects including a spectacular explosion of the witche's oven! By all means grab this recording...and enjoy it!

5 stars A Magical Hansel & Gretel
This Hansel & Gretel is perhaps the finest release so far in Chandos's Opera In English series. It's not the first time English has been used--there have been at least four others--but it is the best in terms of conducting and singing. Actually you would have to go back to the Karajan/Schwarzkopf to find a performance that so captures all the charm and magic of this wonderful opera--and that one is in German. Regardless of language preference, all who love this opera will have to acquire this one. Sir Charles must have been happy, and you will be too.

5 stars i was in a production
i was in an opera of hansel and gretel done by opera north. We sat on stage through most of it and in the rest we were acting. I loved the songs so much that i diddent care thet my legs were numbing from sitting on the stage floor through the first half. I think anyone who likes opera or even just musicals will enjoy this opera.

Serie Sem Limite
Caetano Veloso Serie Sem Limite CDs  (2001) (Import) Brazil

Humperdinck: Hansel & Gretel
CD $27.59
This is a compilation of 30 songs drawn from very different periods of Caetano Veloso's long and amazingly creative career, from the early '70s to 2001. The fact that the songs included on this compilation are drawn from such different stages of Veloso's career, and therefore are very different stylistically, is positive in the sense that it gives the listener samples of the great artistic versatility of Veloso's work through the years. On the other hand, it is inevitable that some of the songs on this kind of compilation come across as being out of context. Although many of his songs have become great hits, Veloso is primarily an album artist. The selection of songs included here is OK, but very far from being ideal, and most of Veloso's best and most famous songs are absent. There are, for instance, no tracks from Veloso's 1960s output, such as his great psychedelic breakthrough single, "Alegria, Alegria." Also, there are no tracks from his highly interesting and creative period between 1984 and 1993, with great albums such as Estrangeiro and Circuladō. However, among the songs that were included are the beautiful "Terra" and "London, London" (which has lyrics in English and was written during Veloso's exile in that city) and great, catchy tunes as "Eclipse Oculto" and "Nao Enche." Among the lesser-known songs included here is the delicate "Trem Das Cores" with its beautiful lyrics. It is also worth noticing that several of the tracks are live performances. As a whole, though, this compilation should work quite well as an introduction to the magnificent work of Caetano Veloso, the greatest of all the great Brazilian musicians. ~ Philip Jandovsky Compilation released as a two CD set for the price of one.
