4.0 out of 5 stars
The great American songsmith,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Victor Herbert: Souvenir (Audio CD)
Herbert was a great songwriter. Most of his operettas were classic.
This CD is a good sampling of his music. Badinage is a great tune and you will recognize the melody if you have a liking for good American classical music. Even if you dig rock music like I do, you can enjoy listening to this.

3.0 out of 5 stars
The Problem with Authenticity,
By Andrew Greene (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Victor Herbert: Souvenir (Audio CD)
The Eastman-Dryden ensemble continue their Victor Herbert series but not with a great advance on previous issues. Orchestral playing is efficient but somewhat lifeless, even mechanical. The arrangements are contemporary pot-pourris of tunes from various Herbert shows, while Teresa Ringholz (Eastman-Dryden's apparently resident soprano) is a pure voiced if uninspiring coloratura in the 'Marietta' excerpts. When will we ever get a proper full-length studio recording of this definitive American operetta? Come on, Americans, show a bit more pride in your cultural heritage. Until then, if you want Victor Herbert, you are much better off buying the issues on Marco Polo.
