5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have camp classic, May 10, 2001

OMG, this one is an absolute must have! Remember Slim Whitman? Well this is Slim, only waaaaayyyyyy better! I have to thank Beethoven radio's Sir Stew for introducing me to it. He plays snippets occasionally. The first time I heard it, I had to buy it. It is absolutely terrific. I defy anyone to listen to this without getting a huge grin--I crank it out at work occasionally when we're having a bad day, & it's guaranteed to make my coworkers smile. Kudos to Mary for having the unabashed sense of humor--& the ability--to pull this one off. It's also not a bad way to introduce non-classic lovers to classical music.

(And I absolutely have to agree about this beating listening to Charlotte Church any day of the week. This is way more tolerable, is performed with more heart & wit, & you won't die of a sugar overload.)

Thank-you to Mary Schneider for having the courage to put this cd out. I think she was dead serious when she recorded this. But what a delighfully cheesy combination of mixing yodelling and classical music. Her yodelling version of the William Tell Overture will have you in stitches on the floor in seconds, and is worth the price of the cd alone. This cd will appeal to all ages, from young children to senior citizens. You cannot be in a bad mood after listening to this cd. Pure joy. The classical music is beautiful and relaxing to hear, and Mary's yodelling parts will just have you laughing like no tomorrow. When i worked at HMV Records, one of the staff members found this one day and we all were cracking up listening to this and some of us even started arguing because it was the only copy in the store and four of us wanted to buy it. Luckily i spoke up for it first. There is such light-hearted humor in her approach to the yodelling and singing. I can't help but think of the classic Bugs Bunny cartoons of yesterday and all the great classical music used. Guaranteed, if you live to be a hundred years old you will not find a more obscure, but highly listenable cd. If you love classical music then get this cd. The pure novelty factor of this cd is unbeatable.
