Customer Review: Wonderful Karita
Karita Mattila is a total package. You enjoy her whole performance, even though it's (mainly) her glittering, emotion-filled lyric-dramatic soprano voice behing the growing success. A major review of a recent London recital with an ambitious programme started with descriptions of her appearance & costumes: the tall blond Venus from the North, a new Garbo! - Catch her live, opera or concert, if you can. Madonna looked the glamorous Eva Peron in film. Mattila could have, and she's a far better actress. She makes Evita her own in Don't Cry for Me Argentina in this recording. What a Kate on stage she would make in Porter's Kiss Me Kate (a sultry, athletic tongue-in-cheek feminist): listen to Wunderbar. Not all the material is ideally suited (I Could Have Danced All Night). But in songs like Tango d'amor and Nur nicht aus Liebe winen (the bittersweet Theo Mackeben song of the Zarah Leander fame) the voice, temper, music and her enjoyment in performing are perfectly matched. The Ondine production is classy, and the Tapiola Sinfonietta orchestra supports the star in lush orchestrations. -Don't be missguided by the poorly styled cover photo where she looks a 50's German operetta singer, she's much more alive:)


Heigh-Ho! Mozart: Favorite Disney Tunes In The Style Of Great Classical Composers
Customer Review: Just amazing
This album I got at Disneyland Paris. I saw it and just knew that I had to have it. It's classic disney tunes in the style of the great composers. And it really do remind of them. As a lover of classic music and disney music, this couldn't be a better album.
Customer Review: A Disney Classic!
This cd is a great introduction for little ones into the world of classical music. My children ages 6 and 4 have "worn out" their first copy of this lively cd. If you enjoy disney music, this is a must for your children's music library.

Customer Review: A Guide Book with a Twist
One thing almost every visitor to Walt Disney World dreads is standing in line. The Disney Queue Line Survival Guidebook by Kimberly Button is a delightful new way to turn waiting time into fun time. Yes, this is a guidebook. It is broken down by theme park and gives an overview of every attraction and show. It will tell you which attractions have FastPass available or height restrictions. There are excellent helpful hints and things to be aware of identified for each attraction. Each park has a section of other things to see and do. But there is so much more, and that is what truly sets this book apart. Enter the survival part of the title. For each attraction, show, and anything else you might have to wait for, there are puzzles, trivia questions, and games to play, all related to the line you are stuck in. The puzzles and games include word searches, matching, fill-in-the-blanks, scrambled words, scavenger and hidden Mickey hunts. The trivia questions are not exclusively Disney (although they always relate to the theme of the attraction you are waiting for), which is nice for those in your party who may not be Disney Fanatics, and they are not all geared towards children. There is a good mix of levels and Disney vs. not Disney questions for each section, so the whole family can play along. There are also "general" sections good for when you are waiting for the parades and fireworks shows, and a special section of tips and games for character meet and greets. For all but the most frequent park-goers, I definitely recommend this book be a part of your Walt Disney World vacation planning, and tossed in the backpack you carry to the parks. It will help you pass the time waiting for just about anything, as well as give you plenty of advice on how to avoid those waits in the first place, and make sure you know just what it is you are waiting for anyway!
