5.0 out of 5 stars Humoresque - a collector's dream, January 12, 2000

Don Coleman (Falls Church, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Humoresque (Audio CD)
Nadja's childhood attachment to these selections transcends time and is evident in these haunting, almost spiritual performances.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is perfection, February 10, 2002

This review is from: Humoresque (Audio CD)
I have not (yet) seen the 1940's film Humoresque, but this re-created soundtrack makes it a must-see. This CD combines classical music and early 20th century popular masterpieces (Cole Porter, Gershwin). Nadja displays virtuosity and heart-rending tenderness. The piano accompaniment, and the occasional vocals (on the Porter/Gershwin), are themselves perfection. This CD immediately joins the "stranded on a desert island" list. Nadja explains in detail (in the accompanying liner notes) the film, the soundtrack, and their impact on her.

5.0 out of 5 stars magnificent, November 10, 2002
This review is from: Humoresque (Audio CD)
I saw the movie Humoresque when I was a child and like Nadja I never forgot either the story or the glorious music. Her recreation of the soundtrack is simply perfect. Look for the Tristan and Isolde Fantasie, which is not only the highlight of the album but the finest adaptation of T&I ever composed. This is a collector's item whether you are a Nadja Salerno Sonnenberg fan, a movie buff or just a lover of the violin. Magnificent!
