Pure Gold!
What a fantastic double CD set! Ella Fitzgerald just sparkles and shines - one of the outstanding talents of the 20th century. This was my first purchase of her music and well worth it.

A great CD packed full of classics that I haven't stoped driving my husband nuts with. Well worth the buy.

Mainly gold but a few less polished nuggets
I enjoyed most of the music. I really enjoyed it - although it was a christmas present so I only heard it once. br / br /One song sticks in my mind less positively . . . "Mack the Knife" as it was live and she forgot the words! The rest was pretty much as you would expect. Really pleasant stuff.

If you want just one or two of Ella's CDs...
If you want just one or two of Ella's CDs ... then it should be this "Gold - All her Greatest Hits" and "Ella Louis Together" (and if you can have the third, please make it "The Complete Ella In Berlin: Mack The Knife" [Live Album]) br / br /I have most of her CDs, and I can tell that the person who assembled "Gold - All her Greatest Hits" and "Ella and Louis Together" loves Ella so deeply. The songs he picked and the song order are of the absolute perfection. If you are after compilation CDs of Ella, look no further. br / br /This "Gold - All Her Greatest Hits" is a wonderful CD if you want music that has full of passion, elegance and serenity at the same time. Specially. her 'Manhattan' is the best of all (naturally). I have heard this song by many other singers, but no one has ever matched her performance (even my hot favourite Stacey Kent...I hate to admit this). You can sense Ella's love for New York, and her soft voice makes you long to be there. br / br /You don't need me to tell you this, but "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye", "Bewitched" and "These Foolish Things" are songs that you should not miss if you like music at all. Please listen to these song on your Ipod in a quiet room, then you will realise how beautifully Ella sing once again. You will understand why Frank Sinatra was heard to say " Ella Fitzgerald is as good a musician and vocalist as anyone is going to hear for the next one hundred years" br / br /Open your fridge and pour yourself a glass of nice cold beer. Open the window, and sit by the window. Close your eyes, and flow with the music. All the troubles you have in your mind will be washed away. Be content for now.

'S Wonderful, Magical and Elegant
It doesn't get any more elegant than this in the world of music. Everything about this album is so beautiful and magical you'll fall in love with it instantly. Ella's vocals are easily some of the most beautiful, distinctive and memorable ever heard in the 20th Century. There is plenty of variety here too - from the upbeat to the moving, this Double CD has it all. This is definatley the best Ella compilation you can buy, and she is such an all time great that any music lover should treat themselves with this rare gem.
