5.0 out of 5 stars Better than you'd think, November 17, 2007

I bought this on a whim because it looked like fun. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable CD's I ever purchased. My wife and I have played many times, especially on long car trips, and it never ceases to entertain. However, many of the selections are not operatic at all: What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor, an art song by Brahms, a selection from Carmina Burana, and a movement from Mahler's Das Leid von der Erde, to name some off the top of my head. But it is all so delightful (with the possible exception of the Mahler) that who cares!!

This was a gift for a man in my life who is a beer conosouir and fluent in German. I fell in love with the cover art because it was so humourous. According to him, the music is also fun and entertaining. This could make an excellent unique gift for someone, even as a joke.
