Linda Ronstadt "Round Midnight"
Close your eyes and listen to this lady sing.. phrasing, pitch, emotion - all perfect. Ms. Ronstadt can nail a note as gloriously as Streisand, but without the nasal overtone....Read more

Round Midnight

Created: 11/04/08
I have an old video of Nelson Riddle and Linda Ronstadt that I recently enjoyed again. Then, while rambling around E-Bay, I saw "Round Midnight" and had to have it. I like all the music on it.I especially like how Linda sings the the old standards and Riddle's orchestra can not be beat. What did I dislike about these c d's? Not a thing!!!

Linda Ronstadt "Round Midnight"

Created: 20/01/08
Close your eyes and listen to this lady sing.. phrasing, pitch, emotion - all perfect. Ms. Ronstadt can nail a note as gloriously as Streisand, but without the nasal overtone. "Round Midnight" done with Nelson Riddle orchestra is mellow and delicious - like slipping into a pool of smooth silk... chocolatey. It is the epitome of the elegance I've come to expect from Linda Ronstadt.

Vocals that bring back the golden age of crooning

Created: 07/05/07
The best thing about the recordings is the lack of artificial enhancement...all you get is incredible orchestrations, performed by "professional" musicians, and capped of with the crystal clear, "made for the forties" voice of Linda Ronstadt, clearly in her prime. Another thing that impresses me aboput this recording is....Ms. Ronstadt certainly did not have to do this type of recording...she was, by all means, a star in her own right at the time. Rather it was her extreme interest and fascination with the crooners of the big band era, that led her away from the pop music to the grand ballrooms of a bygone era. This album is a keeper.

Ronstadt and Riddle- the standard of pop standards

Created: 05/09/10
Generous repackaging of her three pop standard efforts, the first two featuring Nelson Riddle's arrangements, and the third with various arrangers with the same end result...mood music with a solid performance by singer Ronstadt...the limited release of this item makes it a valuable collectors edition

If you have never heard Linda with Nelson Riddle and you love the quality standards, you are in for a wonderful and nostalgic experience. While this is a two disc set, it has three albums of their music included. Try it, you will like it.
