Customer Reviews of Candide
Replace Anderson I bought this disc especially for the final piece "make our garden grow." Due to the death of a family Siberian Husky, my dad began to plant a small garden of wild flowers upon which we will spread some of her ashes. I wanted to put together a cd for my parents and brother that I felt characterized our beloved dog. Anyway, I heard this finale done on TV at a Richard Tucker gala and very much enjoyed it. However, I am terribly disappointed in June Anderson's wobbly, wiry singing. AND, it was the text that I really was looking for to fill the bill, but you can't understand any of it! It's like Joan Sutherland on a really bad mush mouth day, but without her beautiful voice and warmth of tone. Thus, Make Our Garden Grow sounds more like "mee mow arin oh" Damnit!
The rest of the cast is great and I very much enjoy the work. Anderson is the debit.
THE Bernstein masterpeice
no, it's not west side story. it is candide.
this american opera was first rejected and was considered a major flop upon its debut.
but, years later Bernstein made revisions and candide was rightly hailed as his masterpiece towards the end of his life.
it's certainly not for conservatives or those who tend towards the religious right.
bernstein becomes one with voltaire and launches his satirical attack on everything from mccarthyism to fundamentalism to gilbert and sullivan.
the old maestro makes his stand, but at the same time he truly loves his audience and life and that love is present in every bar of this performance and everyone is in top form.
hopefully the filmed performance will be issued on dvd someday soon. to watch it is a labour of love and you will melt after hearing bernstein's introduction (even in his cracking voice) and you will beam ear to ear upon seeing ludwig perform ' i'm so easily assimilated'.
this is a desert island disc and one to listen to again and again.
THIS IS THE GREAT BERNSTEIN
When Leonard Bernstein tried to be a "serious" composer, the results were only pretentious. When he wrote "light" music, the results were wonderful and original. In Candide, he is really the great composer Leonard Bernstein. And the great conductor too - he and his cast are unbeatable. I don't care what the Broadway standards are for length of a musical, all the music in this cds is valuable, belongs to the piece and should be heard every time this show is given.
