Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
"Classical crossover" albums are big business these days; discs that combine elements of folk or pop vocals with classical music. But here's one for the record books: "Australia's Queen of Yodelling," Mary Schneider, transforming some best-loved arias into something entirely her own. You get a little Rossini, a taste of Strauss, a hint of Brahms, and some Beethoven, but--more than anyone else--you get a lot of Schneider. She sings, she jokes, she yodels, and--throughout the whole mess--she's hilarious. The Sydney International Orchestra is led by the conducting prowess of Maestro Tommy Tycho. Classical lovers with a sense of humor--make that anyone with a sense of humor--need to hear this. Schneider is a jewel, and this, without a doubt, is the best yodelling CD you'll hear all year. --Jason Verlinde

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
But after listening again, I realised just how amazing her pin-point accuracy is in her yodeling. Also her vocal range is astounding: from a baritone E to a coloratura soprano high C-sharp! When singing the VERY cheesy lyrics to a few numbers, she delivers a crisp clean baritone that reminds me of the late Anna Russell. But her yodeling flights of fancy are frequently amazing. You won't want to listen to it too often - all that yodeling may get on your nerves, like so many arias by coloratura sopranos - but if you need a smile and a giggle on a dark day, this may be the cure.
And yes, I also purchased volume two. More about that later...
That said, however, I've found it to be a marvelous album which I listen to often. It should, in most cases, be played at full volume through as many speakers as are available.
I was allowed to use it only once at my local adult social club, at the end of the night when it was time to let the lovebirds know it was time to head home to their own roost. It wasn't popular that night, although it was effective.
Many a time it has helped me to get through the drudgery of household chores, doing laundry, washing dishes, and so forth, with a smile on my face.
More than once, having driven up close to a car playing heavy bass thumping contemporary music I've put Mary's CD on my car player and pumped it also to full volume, and left my younger compatriots in the next car stunned.
Recommended.
However despite the two vocal tracks, which are really dire, the whole is quite a pleasant surprise and not as bad as you might think.
The "Hooked on Classics treatment" to the tracks works.
The yodelling is actually very good.
Whatever the artist intended this will bring a smile to your face and after purchase you will play it more than once.

In a sense this cd is reminiscent of the famous cats'duet with Schwartzkopf and de Los Angeles. It's all good fun . If you see this cd for sale , just grab it as well as Mary Schneider's recording. You will not regret it.
I guarantee it.
In the meantime, may I make a request and ask that KCM reinstate this recording in their catalogue immediately so as to let the music community discover and enjoy this little gem ? Thanks!
Dotée d'une technique et d'une maîtrise du chant tyrolien irréprochables, Mary Schneider nous offre sans le vouloir un des albums les plus drôles et délirants de l'histoire du disque de part les aspects imprévisibles de ses vocalises, relevant de l'acrobatie sans filet!
Dès le début du disque, l'orchestre international de Sydney nous entraîne sur un rythme effréné dans l'univers de la chanteuse.
En arme encore bien plus redoutable contre l'envahisseur qu'un Tom Jones dans Mars Attack, Mary Schneider ne nous laisse aucun répit sur la durée du disque ! On attaque fort avec un enchaînement de Guillaume Tell - Carmen - Can-can; ça continue avec un truc où la chanteuse a même signé les paroles, et ça enfonce le clou, yodellinant Brahms, Mozart, Rossini, Strauss ... personne n'est épargné et pire encore, vous ne pourrez plus jamais écouter ces airs dans leurs versions d'origine sans esquisser un sourire !!
- Antidépresseur radical dont tout dépassement de posologie pourrait causer des séquelles irréversibles.
- Provoque chez certaines personnes des réactions allergiques violentes de l'épiderme.
- Hallucinations; dépendance.
- Déconseillé aux personnes psychologiquement fragiles.
... A savourer indifféremment pour ses qualités indéniables que pour son côté kitsch et hilarant...
Das erste Lied ist absolut das Beste.
Jodelmusic nur vom Feinsten mit toller Musik.
