I have been a great fan of Caterina Valente since I was a kid, watching her variety show on German television. Already back then I was fascinated with all the different styles she mastered in her clear and expressive voice. Back then I had no idea that she recorded so many songs in english (and other languages). I came across this CD almost by accident and it brought back wonderful memories of her old records and her show. The sound quality is excellent and does her performance justice. With the revival of classical swing and the swank music of the ffties and sixties, Caterina should not be overlooked. She is in a class of her own.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT TRANSCRIPTION FOR A GREAT VOICE, September 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Caterina Valente Collection: The Breeze and I (Audio CD)

AT MY 35 YEARS IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO GET MUCH MATERIAL OF CATERINA VALENTE.HOWEVER I WAS THRILLED TO FIND ON THIS CD RECORDINGS THAT I HAD HEARD ON 10" LP. ON THE SAME, THERE WERE OTHER TITLES LIKE "THE WAY YOU LOVE ME" AND ALTHOUGH I MAY BE WRONG, I THINK SHE SANG IT WITH STANLEY BLACK'S ORCH. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE VALENTE-BLACK RECORDINGS ARE AVAILABLE? I HAVE ALSO LISTENED TO HER SINGING IN SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE ON A LONDON RECORDS RELEASE WITH THE ORCHESTRA OF EDMUNDO ROS. IT WOULD SOUND TERRIFIC ON A CD. ANYONE WITH INFORMATION, WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS CD TO BOTH CATERINA'S FANS AND ANY ONW WHO HAS EVER HEARD ABOUT HOW GOOD SHE WAS. THIS CD WILL GO BEYOND YOUR EXPECTATIONS...

I can't believe that I actually found this artist (let alone multiple selections)on compact disc! I still have a vinyl copy of her HI FI Nightingale record from my childhood, although it is quite worn. Finding Miss Valente's amazing voice preserved for future generations gives me hope. If you have never heard Catrina Valente sing before you will be amazed... very like a European Yma Sumac in terms of her range, but far more versitile and talented. The arrangement on "Secret Love", among others, seems particularly innovative. Overall a must have for those who truly appreciate the great vocal stylists of this period.
