ELLA FITZGERALD. THE TOP TEN WORLDWIDE HITS + NEW CDS. PETULA CLARK.JOSH GROBAN.

TOP TEN WORLDWIDE HITS . ELLA FITZGERALD

1....EVERYTIME WE SAY GOODBYE.
2....MACK THE KNIFE.
3....MANHATTAN.
4....BUT NOT FOR ME.

7....ANYTHING GOES.
8....DESIDAFINADO.
9....A FOGGY DAY.
10..MISS OTIS REGRETS.

NEW PET CLARK ALBUM...LOST IN YOU.
Tracks played....Cut copy me / Crazy / Never enough / Downtown /
Reflections.

Some electronic voicing on some tracks slightly changes the timbre of
Petula's performances on this album but everything is NEW. This is no
re release package. It is a mature artist giving a current album with a mix
of old and new songs. Some tracks are better than others. DOWNTOWN
needs to move not be sung softly....CRAZY works extremely well....
the new song CUT COPY ME is strange. All in all an interesting album***.

JOSH GROBAN........ALL THAT ECHOES.

 An impressive collection of mainly new songs starting with the single
BRAVE . An occomplished album which I enjoyed very much. The Italian
choices seem better than others and Mr Groban never follows the path
of Hackneyed classical revivals. New Material with his superb voice.****.

SINGLE....LEAVE ME ALONE....ALEXANDER RYBAK.

Been released for a while from this young man who won the Eurovision
contest several years ago. Catchy and bouncy and danceable.***.

SINGLE..ONE WAY OR ANOTHER....ONE DIRECTION.
Red nose day single from the fab five previously a hit for someone else.
Good choice. Nothing special.***.

ANDREA BOCELLI....NEW ALBUM  PASSIONE ( DELUX EDITION)
tracks played.....Champagne / Quizas Quizas Quisaz / La vie en rose /
                           A mano A mano.

A new entry into the commercial market for Andrea after a spell in
releasing only Opera performances this is a welcome return. Nothing
that Mr Bocelli does is poor and there are some beautiful tracks on this
album. His reading of LA VIE EN ROSE is wonderful even with the
slightly suspect Edith Piaf recording taped onto it. The album has great
Italian atmosphere as  most of it is in the native language but a lot of
the song choices are familiar....PERHAPS PERHAPS PERHAPS /HOW
WONDERFUL TO KNOW / QUIET NIGHTS OF QUIET STARS /
SENZA FINE. ETC. Look out for the DElux version. It has four extra
tracks. ****.

ALEXANDER RYBAK.....CHRISTMAS TALES.
tracks played....Baby it's cold out side / Tell me when.

Late arrival of this CD caused me to miss Christmas which is a pity
as this festive album is very good.   Alexander Rybak is a talented
singer/performer/arranger and this bright addition is no exception
to his usual standard. He plays the violin on most tracks proving
that he is as talented a musician as he is a singer.Nostalgically
good CD with a modern approach.****.
