The third-Donna Summer Love Album

After for the 1975 ratios very liberally gestöhnten "Love To Love You, Baby" and the braveren but rhythmically better "Try Me" in 1976 was the same year the third album of the budding superstar Donna Summer out: "Four Seasons Of Love ", this time not with a song on an LP-side and a few". fillers "on the second page, but with 4 titles and a reprise that thematically deal with the 4 seasons Spring Affair with 8:30 the opener, followed by 8: 04-minute "Summer Fever", both go without a fade out into each other and both have the typical Munich-Sound of Giorgio Moroder.
Autumn is sung with Autumn Changes (5:29), even danceable again and flows seamlessly into the ballad Winter Melody (6:28) over. The final make again the spring (3:50). These sung / breathy Pizza Quattro Stagnioni one of the highlights of the Munich disco era and I really wanted to order this Casablanca-publication with the announced box, but the release date is now been postponed to 2015 and so I have been using this single-CD My Donna Summer-Casablanca-collection completes. Too bad that this album is kind of a little bit forgotten, because it is (even without big hit) a joy for the ears Discofan. Only in 1977 Summer had again a real smash hit with "I Feel Love" from the album "I Remember Yesterday" and her superstar status was only in 1979 due to the double album "Bad Girls", which probably was because your true vocal quality only could really live out it. The four seasons love were more breathy than sung and quite a few felt it was a bad singer, who was able to score only by technically aufgepeppeltes groan. But who listens to these old albums in peace times, quickly realizes that even the breaths and moaning was an artistic tour de force and no other could sing those songs with such conviction at this time. Personally, I find the entire catalog of Casablanca Donna Summer as their best LPs of "Love To Love You, Baby" to "Bad Girls" I love those albums today, almost 40 years later. And not only that: I discover again and again, for example, find this record today is much better than "their" time.. Hopefully the box is still sometime out, but please not as advertised, but with bonus tracks such. B. Single versions or alternative mixes, maybe can be even far rummage unreleased songs. With a really good remastering such a Casablanca-album box could even be an incentive for who are the CDs individually already in the closet.
