Yodeling the Classics

I heard a cut from this 1997 CD, featuring Mary Schneider, Australia’s Queen of Yodeling, on PBS the other morning and realized that my admittedly puny CD collection had a GAPING hole that had to be filled pronto.
I mean, yodeling the William Tell Overture? Rossini’s Large al factotum? The only question is why it took someone this long to figure out it HAD to be done.

I think I may know the answer to that “only” question. Hmmm, let me think now…

I heard this tape in a Classical Sound Warehouse when I lived in Dallas. I knew that I had to have it. I only wish she had published her wonderful lyrics. Right now I am listening to an [instrumental] version of the Liberty Bell and I wish I could remeber the song she puts with it. My favorite, however, is her version of Brahm’s Hungarian Dances. Anyone who has heard it knows what I mean.
It is quite fantastic, isn’t it!!!
