Engelbert Humperdinck - His Greatest Hits
(more) »rank: 2638by: Engelbert Humperdinck
: :Engelbert Humperdinck, who at the circa 1968 height of his career shared a manager with fellow hunk Tom Jones, has never enjoyed the campy appreciation that has come to Jones in recent years--mostly because he's way too earnest compared to the teasingly all-man singer of 'What's New Pussycat' and 'She's a Lady.' Humperdinck certainly deserves a place on some space-age bachelor's mix tape with the quietly ebullient 'Quando Quando Quando,' the quietly invitational 'Winter World of Love,' and the quietly fatalistic 'Les Bicyclettes de Belsize'--maybe yours. Or at least your dad's. --Rickey Wright

Sacred Songs

: : This lovely CD features Renée Fleming singing religious music in an unaffected, lovely manner. Many favorites are here: both the Bach/Gounod and Schubert versions of 'Ave Maria,' each offered with long breaths and soft tone; 'Rejoice Greatly' from Messiah, delivered with virtuosity and gleaming sound, and 'He Shall Feed His Flock,' also from Messiah, sung in a smooth, laid-back manner. Bits of the Fauré Requiem and Poulenc Gloria are welcome, as is the gorgeous 'L'Adieu des Bergers' from L'Enfance du Christ. In the prayer from Humperdinck's Hansel und Gretel, Fleming is joined by the splendid Susan Graham, and a version of 'Amazing ...

: :Those leery and weary of tasteless crossover need not shudder at the sight of this disc, which has sold over half a million copies in Europe. There's none of the softcore kiddie porn that came with Vanessa-Mae or the heavily packaged faux romanticism of Andrea Bocelli. (That of course doesn't necessarily mean that you'll want Voice of an Angel.) This 12-year-old Welsh soprano is so uncloyingly cute and has such an appealing personality (with just enough touch of cheek) that you'd almost rather have her as a dinner guest than on your CD player. Her small, attractive, sometimes unstable but always sincere soprano ...
