In 1984 she also released a crossover album entitled <em>N\u00e9zz k\u00f6r\u00fcl<\/em>, which I purchased when it was first released, and which amused me to no end, featuring as it did songs from \u201cFlashdance\u201d to \u201cTotal Eclipse of the Heart,\u201d all sung in Hungarian. As the years have passed, and I have become more and more of a Sass fan, I have completely revised my opinion of this unusual entry into the Crossover Classics genre and now am of the opinion that Sass\u2019s achievement on this record represents the peak of opera singers singing crossover material. Her unusual and compelling voice is heard at its most mellifluous here; her musicianship is at the complete and non-condescending service of the material, which ranges from Andrew Lloyd Webber to Quincy Jones; and the intensity of her delivery, contrasted with the sometimes tacky arrangements, makes for a unique and delectable experience. I supplement material from that album with several examples of Sass\u2019s magisterial performances of operetta and classical music, from Mozart and Offenbach through Ferenc Erkel and Richard Strauss, pausing (regretfully only momentarily) on her matchless Verdi portrayals. Prepare for the Total Eclipse of the K\u00e9kszak\u00e1ll\u00fa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sylvia-Gorgeous.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sylvia-Gorgeous.jpg 800w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sylvia-Gorgeous-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sylvia-Gorgeous-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:30px\" class=\"has-custom-size\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Daniel-Molnar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Daniel-Molnar.jpg 450w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Daniel-Molnar-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Daniel-Molnar-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Daniel Moln\u00e1r<br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel Moln\u00e1r, who contributed the commentary on the lyrics, musicians, and lyricists in Sylvia Sass\u2019s <em>N\u00e9zz k\u00f6r\u00fcl<\/em> recording, is a theatre historian focused on theatre entertainment in Central Europe. Starting his career as a performance artist, he went on to obtain a clown degree in 2005 and a PhD in history in 2017. He has curated three exhibitions about the former Budapest nightlife; in February 2019, his latest, \u201cRed Stars \u2013 Showbusiness during Hungarian Stalinism and the socialist revues\u201d opened in the National Sz\u00e9ch\u00e9nyi Library in Budapest accompanied by a monograph of the same title. After working for the Budapest Operetta Theatre in season 2016\/17, he moved to Berlin where he did an internship in stage directing at the Komische Oper in May 2019. If not for the Corona virus, he would have rather worked on the production of the new <em>Ring des Nibelungen<\/em> at the Deutsche Oper.

My opinion is that he usually compensated his lack of professional knowledge with enthusiasm; he was also a nice person which is very rare thing in this business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"548\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Bradanyi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Bradanyi.jpg 550w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Bradanyi-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Bradanyi-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Iv\u00e1n Brad\u00e1nyi<\/strong> is 90 years old today.
