    A wonderful CD. Even more wonderful was the seller, who was patience and professionalism personified when my Bose didn't play the CD -- but in fact, as I learned later, my other machine did play it, and nicely indeed. (Who'd have thought that a Bose could be less able than a 20-year-old CD player?)

    Ruth Etting graduated from the chorus line to singing solo in Chicago nightclubs, and began recording for Columbia in 1926. Her gangster husband’s persuasive powers gave her the pick of Tin Pan Alley’s new songs, and such was her popularity that the frequency of her recordings was maintained throughout the Great Depression. She had an idiosyncratic style, embellishing the melody by sliding around the notes. She needed a big voice for the theatre, which she reined in for the studio, where its clarity was ideally suited to the medium of recording. Her accompaniments were often quite sparse, with Rube Bloom on piano almost a constant, which gave the vocal more prominence, and created an air of intimacy with the listener. That successful formula resulted in approximately 200 sides over eleven years, many of which were the first recordings of songs that would become future standards. This very judicious selection includes her sole outing with Ted Lewis, and two of the six sides she recorded with Jay Wilbur in 1936. She was the subject of a 1955 biopic, the title song of which, sung by Doris Day, is included also. The package includes a very thorough discography and an excellent liner note, and is highly recommended.

    This release contains two CDs; unfortunately both of them are not Ruth Etting. The second CD is labeled correctly, but all of the music on that CD is that of Mantovani and His Orchestra, not Ruth Etting. I requested a replacement for the Ruth Etting release. But -- the second copy had the same error. I now have two copies of Disc 1 (Ruth Etting), and two copies of Mantovani (Disc 2). I was not required to return the first set of discs.

    Ich liebe diese Musik und Ruth Ettings Stimme. Tolle Aufnahmen, schöne Zusammenstellung der Titel. Läuft bei mir gerade in Dauerschleife ;-) Kann ich nur jedem ans Herz legen, wem die Musik dieser Zeit gefällt, derjenige kann hier bedenkenlos zugreifen.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 1920年代の優秀録音か?
    Reviewed in Japan on October 14, 2006
     ジャケット写真(CDの場合はなんて言うの?)と値段に惹かれて買いました(^ ^)。しかし特筆すべきは音質。1926年〜1937年の録音ですが、特に20年代の録音は何かの間違いではないかと思うほど艶のある音質です。市販のSP盤からマスタリングしたものと思いますが、よほど状態の良いSP盤が存在したのでしょうか?

     ルース・エティングはジークフェルド・フォリーズや戦前のハリウッド映画で活躍し、後年ドリス・デイ主演で伝記映画が作られたそうですからかなりの大物ということになるのでしょうが、私のような平均的日本人には今ひとつその魅力は分かり難いタイプかなと思います(英語力不足?)。

     今ではスタンダード・ナンバーとされる曲も多いのですが、これらの録音時には出来たてのホヤホヤだったわけです。大半がミュージカル曲なので当然といえば当然なのですが、ヴァースから歌われている曲が多いのが今聴くと意外に新鮮です。

     ジャケット写真もモノクロ写真をカラー化したものと思いますが、こちらも艶のある上々の仕上がりとなっております。

    Ruth Etting is surely the best singer of her era and this is a great compilation of her songs. Highly recommended for those who love songs from that golden era of the 20s and 30s.
