Only Love: Broadway Songs

Sumi Jo writes in the blurb: "I always wanted to let you see this side of my music, art & life. It is not a new 'me' rather a natural sublimation of me: Sumi Jo's life philosophy in a subtly different direction, so to speak...TO MY OLD FRIENDS i SAY HAVE NO FEAR: i AM NOT DESERTING YOU I am an opera singer and nothing will change that..."Well, for an opera singer - (not just any old opera singer, but the very best), she has done marvels with these love songs. I love all 12 of them presented here & especially: Beautiful World, Once Upon a Dream, Only Love."I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls" was my introduction to Sumi Jo, some 6 months ago & my life has not been the same since!Her oozing talent, her exquisite, heavenly voice, her sensitive, passionate treatment of all this music qualifies her for the title "Chantreuse of the Century".Incidentally, her enunciation, pronunciation, phrasing is unbelievably perfect; one would think she were a New York native!This, her first cross-over album sold 700,000 copies. I hope to see it make the million. It's worth buying even if you buy no other of her many classic disks.

I just love Sumi Jo. And this album was the first I ever bought. I keep going back to it. What a beautiful voice.

Herbert von Karajan nannte Sumi Jo "Stimme des Himmels".Er hatte ja so Recht!!!Ich bin schon über 70 Jahre auf dieser Welt.So eine vollkommene Sängrin hatte ich bisher noch nicht gehört.Produktion ist sehr gut.Verkäufer ist zu empfehlen.
