While I agree that some of the pieces would also fit comfortably into the mezzo range, I would hardly call this a vanity project for Ms. Pitt. Nor, would I call her vocal work her anything less than appropriate for these pieces. Comparing her to a young voice student is neither fair, accurate, nor called for. She has a clean, clear style and seems quite at home in these pieces without being too dramatic; she also manages to avoid the staid and bland renditions that so often plague english art song recordings and recitals. Perhaps some listeners prefer this repertory as sung by Felicity Lott and other less operatic and open voices, but the readings here never fail to delight. This recording features quite few pieces that (to my knowledge) have never appeared before on recordings before, and appear here with style, charm, and consistently high quality of vocal prowess. Of particular loveliness is the duet "Love calls through the summer night" as well as David Owen Norris' rendition of "The Rose of Tralee". I will also add that the accompaniment is first rate and never out of balance or character with these pieces. For Quilter fans, this is absolutely a must have album!』
(Quilter deserves better...) 『Was this recording of Quilter songs (Complete Folk-Song Arrangements and Complete Part-Songs for Women's Voices) a vanity project for soprano Amanda Pitt? It is hard to explain in any other terms, for her voice is not pleasant to hear. It is a pinched, badly produced, squally sound - the sort of standard one would expect in a not very gifted singing student. Why Naxos permitted this travesty of a recording under their label is a mystery.
The majority of the songs on this CD are sung by the aforesaid Amanda Pitt (soprano). The other singers in this project are of a better standard - in the case of Philip Langridge, beautiful to listen to. This recording is not worthy of his excellent career and lovely tenor voice. The other two singers - mezzo Joanne Thomas and baritone David Wilson-Johnson - are not bad, either, although the mezzo doesn't get a single solo. The lack of a solo for Ms Thomas is glaringly evident when compared to the ten (10) solos which Ms Pitt sings. (10 out of 21 solos - definitely an unfair ratio. Of these ten solos, several could have been given to the mezzo to sing - they were certainly not beyond the average mezzo range.)
The rest of the album consists of duets - thirteen of them. Eleven of the thirteen duets are soprano/mezzo, and in spite of the mezzo's voice (from what one is permitted to hear of it) isn't bad, the duet performances are frankly awful, chiefly because of Ms Pitt. Even the superior quality of Philip Langridge's singing cannot save the two duets he sings with Amanda Pitt.
It's artistically an insulting and atrociously unbalanced distribution of material.
Look for the John Mark Ainsley/Lisa Milne recording of Quilter songs&arias. Admittedly, it doesn't include most of the duets on this CD, but oh, the sheer pleasure of hearing well-trained and lovely voices give Quilter a worthy treatment!』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Dalek Phone Charm: Exterminate Your Boring Style) 『I've never used a cell phone charm before, mostly because I couldn't find one that would really suit me. However, when I heard that they had come out with a Doctor Who phone charm, and that it was a Dalek of all things, I knew it was time for me to act.
The charm itself was surprisingly big. It's about 1.5 inches in height and .75 inches in diameter. If you think that's going to bother you while you're on the phone then I wouldn't recommend it, but I don't seem to be having any trouble with it and I'm a phone charm novice. This charm is made of hard plastic, and it's very easy to install (i.e., you don't have to do anything to get it to work). Additionally, it has a very bright light, so be sure to hide it well if you're in a no-cellphone area.
Overall, I am pleased with this purchase. For the price you can't go wrong, and it shows off your Doctor Who fandom in style.』
(fun while it lasts) 『Being a diehard fan of the latest Doctor Who series I must say I love this toy. Although, it stopped working only two months after I bought it. I still have it attached to my cell phone though and it still makes me smile when I see it. I have both the Tardis and the Dalek charm and both of them died after only a few months.』
(Dalek Phone Charm) 『Batteries burned out in a week-- these charms are spastic. (Blinks every 30 seconds) A shut off switch would be a grand idea for this product. The seller of these charms is very professional with quick shipping.』
(So cute.) 『These little phone charms are really cute. My Dalek somehow unscrewd himself, and absconded to the back of the car until I found him the next day and secured him in a more solid fashion. If you get many calls or emails on your phone you will quickly run the battery of these little guys down. Still really cool and neat.
Sincerely, Ira Carmel』
(Fun item) 『It looks great, and when fellow fans spot it, it normally gets a great reaction. The Dalek spins and blinks brightly in blue when the phone is receiving or making phone calls, without actually being connected to the phone (it triggers even before the phone registers the phone call). It reacts to most but not all phones. It will at times go off without phone calls happenng due to other radio traffic.』 『Doctor Who Dalek Mobile Phone Charm (Brown)』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (informative) 『This book was very informative, and let me know where alot of my Grandmother's and Mom's little sayings came from. Also, there is alot of information on natural remedies! I am very happy with the book, unexpectedly so!』
(Very vague, very basic introduction) 『The things she says are things I've heard spoken of in the family (Hungarian and Russian) but she's keeping a lot for herself. And so she should. It's been good to read about my heritage and the things I've felt intuitively, but it would appear to be something I need to learn from an actual live person. The other reviewer was probably right about her writing for the "gadje", you can't go and practice with what little she's written. Still, it piqued my interest and I will research the subject further. A good companion I found that went a bit further into Eastern European magic was Grandmother of TimeThe Grandmother of Time: A Woman's Book of Celebrations, Spells, and Sacred Objects for Every Month of the Year which is a much deeper look at traditional female spirituality.』
(informative) 『Although I have some doubts about there being real Gypsies in the English countryside still living in wagons etc. , i have to to say that to best best of my (admittedly poor) knowledge Cooper provides some important information. The book lays out some of the basic stuff you might encounter when meeting your average Gypsy fortuneteller (palmistry, cards, spells) and has some eclectic information (such as runes etc) that clearly are Cooper's own special interest.
There is also some unsentimental advice on casting curses and protecting from them, clearly a major part of Romany existence. Cooper knows about energy and the stuff she talks about is clearly first-hand, which i appreciated.
Any claims that this work is too simple is, imo, misguided and a bit naive. The book is a treasure trove of information that many - including those working the ceremonial magic - will find interesting, if not useful. I recommend it.』
(TONS of Information!) 『This book is literally packed with stuff! There are several chapters on what we consider "typical" gypsy things, such as fortune telling through palms and tea leaves. But there are also chapters on energy, dream lore, luck, and creating little blessing bags called Parak-Tils. Peppered throughout are tidbits on the actual Gypsy people, particularly in England where the author is from. Worth buying if you're into Gypsy things or looking for a nice primer on fortune telling.』
(Not too bad) 『I am not Romani and bought this book hoping for some historical information on the Romani people, their culture, and ways. I enjoyed what the author had to say about her people and also some of the folk beliefs that were touched upon for the reader. I think I would have liked a little more information just as far as history goes and more on the language of the Romanies. All in all this is a pretty good book for some basic information.』 『"Gypsies are justly famed for their psychic powers and the ability to curse or bring good luck to those that cross their path." A sparkling compilation of secrets passed down from one generation to the next, Gypsy Magic offers readers simple techniques for harnessing "zee energy" to bring about good luck, health, wealth, happiness, and love. Author Patrinella Cooper draws upon her Romany heritage and tells readers "how the Gypsy tradition helped me to develop my own power, which in turn enables me to help other people, through magic and fortune-telling." Perfect for anyone interested in the interplay between nature and divination, this introduction to the gypsy traditions shows how to unlock the power of palmistry, tarot, dreams, tea leaves, and, of course, crystal balls. In addition to sharing time-tested natural remedies and healing herbs, Cooper shares her traveler's insight into reading nature's signs and omens, from stars and seasons to birds and plants. Gypsy Magic also reveals how to attract good luck with charms, protect against curses, harness the power of the planets, and weave simple spells.』

"I make my vow to fast until This crescent Moon shines round and full; While she waxes, let me wane; I must lose that she may gain."
Here's a chant for Halloween:
"Let the pumpkin's Candle glare Into darkness Everywhere Burn all evil From the air!"
And one chant to develop the Art of Cookery:
"Sweeten the oven Sweeten the pot, Sweeten the cold and sweeten the hot - Summon thy virtues Into this place To teach me patience And skill and grace."
The chants in this book may fall more in the category of folk magic rather than Wicca and they range from chants for beauty, to success, changing weather, for development of different magical abilities, and others.』
(okay book) 『Okay book. I was expecting it to be better but I like it enough to keep it in my collection.』
(A book of magickal poetry) 『This book was first published in 1971, and the author died in 1994. Valerie Worth was a poet, with various interests, to include magic and gardening. I don't think this is actually meant as a "spell book", to be used literally, but actually as a book of poetry inspired by old-time enchantments. That being said, it is a delightful little collection. However, if you are looking for a "book of spells" that you can use in your own spellcrafting, you would be better served with a more modern spellbook. If you are just looking for some inspiration--perhaps something to read to hearken back to witchcraft of old--this little book can set the tone.』
(Excellant !) 『This is not a Wicca book! For those of you looking for many spells, this is your one-stop-shop! Magick is not complicated, especially spells, and these 2 little books offer more punch than you can imagine! These 2 little books are definitely a must for you collection. You just might want to put them ahead of your collection. You will never want to leave them put aside. Go ahead and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed! Get the 2 Crone's books and open them up for a wonderful read and time! Michael』
(Eva's Review) 『This has got to be one of the best books I've come across that has every detail listed in plain black and white. Very understandable and helped me learn even more ways on Rituals and Celebrations. If you get any book, I recommend this one the most.』 『Crone's Book of Magical Words(previously published asThe Crone's Book of Words)by Valerie Worth is the book you've been waiting for! In its pages are over 125 spells, incantations and charms. If you can think of a purpose for a spell, it's probably in this book. Need a spell to summon a ghost? Or perhaps you want the opposite: a spell to free a house from being haunted. They're both in this book. Do you need something to help you lose weight or have longevity? You'll find them here. Or perhaps you want to pass through a locked door. It's all in this book. Even if you don't know a thing about magic, you can use this book. The spells are easy, poetic, and evocative. For example, to cure a wart the instructions are: "Stamp within a silver cup mullein and houseleek together. Stir them with a sparrow's feather. Let it draw the juices up; Twenty times upon one day, brush them over the excrescence; Under sunlight dry the essence Soon the wart must shrink away." The range in this book is phenomenal. You'll find a simple fertility charm and a way to conjure with smoke. You'll read about how to bring rain and how to stop rain from falling. You'll learn how to tell fortunes with sand or with tea leaves. This is more than just a book about magic, it is a folklorist's bonanza. If you're ready to win another's love or to sweeten someone's disposition, if you want to turn hair long and golden or discover tree spirits, this is the book you must have. Whether you have been doing magic for a long time or are a beginner, this book is a must.

It is not an easy book to have if you want a quick reference guide. By the time you are in the situation and need quick advice it may be too late if this is the only book you have for "quick reference" etiquette, unless one has taken the time to do their own personal tabs.』
(What they don't teach you in your MBA program) 『As a business executive I have interviewed scores of individuals seeking to advance their career and most of them do not know how. It is not they are lacking in education but what they do lack is the savvy on how to present themselves in business situations that highlights their best skills and attirbutes.
While Ann Marie Sabath's work is not a how to land your next job book, it is full of those important tips how to deal with some of the most sticky of work situations. The same situations that typically come up in a job interview questions when is asked how do you deal with XYZ situation and if answered wrong can prevent one from moving up the management ladder.
Further, Sabath's pointers can help one manuever through those uncomfortable situations where the boss may be looking and trying to size you up for an important project or future role in the company.
Written in a quick to read and at times witty fashion, I highly recommend this book for those starting out their business career or those who are leaving the military starting their civilian career in management.』
(Not Excellent, but Ok) 『Not an excellent guide, but I was able to get a few pointers or refreshers that help me in the workplace. Out of 101, I probably highlighted or underlined 25.』
(Lite-reading .... learning and chuckling at the same time) 『Since this author makes a living writing newspaper articles, but mainly, doing corporate presentations, or so she says, this explains the lite- reading aspect of the book's 191 pages, and the tendency of the author to teach various situations of etiquette while having the readers chuckling on and off, throughout the work. Not being an expert, some of the advise, a few times, is questionable, especially for people at home receiving calls from telemarketers, to demand to speak to those guys' supervisors. Really ? Get real! Especially with sales outfits making calls from across the planet in India, where can you find a supervisor over there, or if you find one, who knows what the do-not-call list is, or cares. Other situations are appropriate and interesting.
The brevity, and lite-ness of the book suggests the author mainly benefits workers from lowering those busy-bodies blood pressure through this etiquette lesson in major corporations, vs. training these to become experts.』
(Nothing New) 『I didn't find this book terribly useful. Most of the concepts presented in the book were common sense and did not specifically apply to business. The book centered around typical social etiquette (which certainly applies in the business world), but did not provide much business-specific guidance. I found that most of the concepts were covered in general etiquette publications. I was also disappointed to find that the book did not provide specific solutions for breaches in business etiquette. I guess I was looking for some nice catch-phrases and replies for the business user. I do think the book was simple to read, and might be a good book for newcomers to American business etiquette.』 『Ann Marie Sabath, the "Ms. Manners of the Midwest," according to USA Today, offers to-the-point solutions to the most commonly asked business etiquette questions. She helps readers overcome moments of indecision, giving them the ability to function with the confidence that the impression they are making is a positive one. She helps us avoid that oh so embarrassing office faux pas, or unintentional inappropriate behavior, or appearance blunders that could lead to ridicule, social seclusion or even business disaster. This book thoroughly examines: the art of getting people to talk; proper attire; correct correspondence including rules about email; pleasing phone manners with tips about voicemail; dealing with decision-makers; handling social occasions and situations with ease and grace; international courtesy including the dos and taboos; and many business occasions where knowing the correct thing to do will pay off.』
