This CD was an absolute delight. Nelson's voice, charm and humor come through beautifully in these live, radio performances. I was amazed at the quality of the fifty year recordings; they sounded as though they had been recorded only yesterday. I highly recommend this CD to any Nelson Eddy affeccionado, and hope that the curious, who have never heard him sing, will pick this one up to hear a truly wonderful talent.

I like many different kinds of music, and Nelson Eddy inspired me to like opera. His baritone voice is marvelous! But in listening to "Dream Lover", "In the Still of the Night", and "The Artistry of Nelson Eddy...", I noticed that he sang songs from the classical and folk genres, among others. His various musical interests only makes him more interesting.

As an actor, he makes me laugh. I also like some of his leading ladies, particularly Rise Stevens and Jeanette MacDonald (who has excellent chemistry with him). I know that others have said that his acting was not so great, but his acting does not prevent me in the least from enjoying him.

To this day nobody can touch Nelson Eddy. His many movies and records are remarkable. Best of all is when he is teamed with Jeanette Mac Donald. The two of them were great lovers there whole life and it really shows in their movies together.

Not my favorite Nelson Eddy CD but all well done, digitally recorded. It is not a favorite because of the titles. Most of the songs are from other compilations. Not many are selections from his movie roles and none are duets. It is Nelson Eddy and no other. There are no liner notes so when the original recordings were made are not available. The orchestrations are lush and full bodied. Certainly a CD that should be in one's collection if one is a Nelson Eddy fan, as I am. Nutty in fact.
