We are extremely pleased to present the music of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy two of the greatest performers of the 20th century. We are truly humbled to be reproducing their music, yet thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce this music to a new generation of listeners.

We wish to express our sincerest appreciation to the three individuals who were instrumental in the making of this CD.

Betty Ann Cluthe:
Our relationship with Betty Ann goes far beyond teacher and student. She is not only our mentor, but has also become one of our dearest friends. Betty Ann has enjoyed a long and successful stage career and has brought that vast experience and talent to her teaching, along with patience, understanding and most of all her love. We are proud to call her our friend and teacher.

Edward B. Kessel:
We owe a deep debt of gratitude to our Orchestrator Edward Kessel who has spent countless hours working with us on this CD. Ed’s amazing friendship and patience only match his hard work and ability as an Orchestrator! It’s an honor and a pleasure to have worked on this project with someone of his caliber. From the bottom of our hearts Ed, thank you!

Vincent Russell:
Thank you Vince for being the driving force behind this project, for offering encouragement and support when we need it most. Above all else, we thank you for your total and complete faith in us to do justice to this legendary music.

Finally, we would like to thank our parents for giving us an appreciation for this wonderful music, and their love and support throughout our careers. We hope you enjoy this CD as much as we have enjoyed making it!
