5.0 out of 5 stars NINE SONGS NOT OFTEN RECORDED Jan 21 2009
By alain robert TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
We are so used to hear the classic songs of RODGERS AND HART sung by popular singers,that at first,it seems strange to hear them from a classical singer.Give them a few listenings to get hook on them.They choose here to record nine songs not often recorded and eight others that are well known;good idea.Why shoud we always prevent us from neglected treasures from the duo's more than 500 songs written over a period of twenty-three years?Complete verses and original orchestrations do the trick.Try to resist I MUST LOVE YOU and IF I WERE YOU ,with it's charleston bridge is impossible.In a similar setting,you can also get DAWN UPSHAWS's tribute to RODGERS AND HART.

5.0 out of 5 stars exquisite album Nov 9 2000
By Tom MacGowan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Contained in this CD are some of the most beautiful versions of the great timeless songs of Rogers and Hart. Coductor John McGlinn's orchestrations are flawless, as are Frederica's vocals. My favorites are 'I Didn't Know What Time It Was', 'My Funny Valentine', 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered', 'Atlantic Blues' and 'A Ship Without a Sail'. Every song is well done and everyone I have turned on to this album loves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Vexed again, Perplexed again, Thank God I can be oversexed again . . . " May 16 2009
By Eric A. Isaacson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Frederica von Stade and John McGlinn give us an extraordinary recording of Rodgers & Hart classics.

Frederica von Stade turns in first-rate performances on all these songs, imbuing "My Funny Valentine" and its gently sardonic lyrics with genuine romanticism.

The real gems of the collection are "I Didn't Know What Time it Was," "Where or When," and "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered."

"I Didn't Know What Time It Was" is simply enchanting. Von Stade's interpretation of the introductory verse oozes innocent sexuality. Her treatment of the song's body is magical.

"Where or When" is entrancing, indeed haunting.

And von Stade's exuberant performance of "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" is truly stunning. It's unquestionably the finest that I have heard -- anywhere.

The song's original lyrics present an unabashed celebration of feminine sexuality. Far too explicit for Hollywood, the lyrics were cleaned up for the 1957 movie "Pal Joey." Most recorded covers of the song are similarly bowdlerized, to eliminate its blatant sexual allusions.

Frederica von Stade's rendition not only is true the original's celebration of women's sexuality, she delivers the song's words with a disarming and utterly believable enthusiasm. "I'm vexed again, perplexed again, thank God I can be oversexed again . . . "

Thank God for Von Stade's interpretation of "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered." It is truly a masterpiece.
