This review is from: Legendary Voices: Leonard Warren II (Audio CD)

This is, without question, the best restoration of monaural opera singing that I have ever heard, and it's one of my favorite collections of songs to boot. I've been looking for Leonard Warren on CD for years, and for the sea shanties in particular. Now I've finally found them, and they're the closest thing to a stereo recording of Leonard Warren that you will ever hear.

You will be astonished, not only with Mr. Warren's magnificent baritone, but with the incredible cleanliness of the disc. You won't hear a pop, scratch, or click in any of the sea shanties--remarkable, given that they were recorded in 1947. Yes, they are monaural, so they don't have as much "presence" as a stereo recording, but the orchestra, chorus, and Mr. Warren himself are as clear and as sonorous as if they were recorded today. Every note and nuance has been restored.

All historic CDs should be this good. Don't miss it!

Every time I listen to this CD, it brings back memories of how great Leonard Warren's voice was. The quality of the reproduction is remarkable - remember - it is based on recordings dating back almost 60 years!
