Marlene Dietrich - Marlene Dietrich: Lili Marlene

The arch-duchess of cabaret, Marlene Dietrich is the quintessential glamour girl of the twentieth century. Two parts ice-queen and one part vamp, her voice -- shown-off in this state-of-the-art remastered classic collection of hits displaying Marlene at her best -- was an instrument she used to tease, seduce, and mock.

A memory from the past

I had always remembered "Falling in Love Again" on an old, old Marlene Dietrich recording I had in my college days. For Christmas this year my husband tracked down a recording with this song and I must admit that I was extremely disappointed with the scratchy sound track. I had hoped that in some electronic way it had been digitally improved, but not so! March 30, 2008

Wonderful Voice!

Marlene Dietrich undoubtedly has a spectacular and lovely voice. This CD can appeal to so many. I am fourteen, and even I can appreciate the time of Marlene Dietrich. Her beauty survives. She has a voice that surely can enchant eveyone. This CD has a perfectly reasonable price and a short biography of Marlene Dietrich inside the cover in which it tells some of her accomplishments. It is not a brilliant bio or anything, but it was helpful for me because I knew practically nothing about the woman. I also have to note, though, that the quality of the songs is not great, but this CD is worth it. "Lili Marlene," "Black Market," "Falling in Love Again," and "Near You" are surely the best songs. Dietich's voice is beatiful, though a little deep and masculine. It is a pleasing gift. April 2, 2000

Fabulous

The sultry, siren-esque sounds of Marlene's lyrics are unparalelled in the whole sphere of music. From the delicacy of falling in love again to the raunch of Jonny, each provides a seamingly aphrodisiac quality. Although no recording can do her justice, this one makes a vallant attempt. Bravo Marlene! October 13, 1998
