Five years in the planning, this is the definitive release devoted to the great New Zealand entertainer's career. The National Library of NZ and Atoll Ltd present this commemorative set of recordings by Inia Te Wiata on 2 CDs and a DVD, chosen by his widow Beryl Te Wiata. The 49 music tracks - several of which have never been released before - are accompanied by a special DVD that adds a unique visual element to the production. The DVD includes a documentary film showing Inia's skills as a master carver along with a rare interview filmed with Inia's friend Spike Milligan. In the 40-page booklet of notes and photographs, Beryl Te Wiata shares her personal memories and impressions. 'Just Call Me Happy' is the ninth release in the series 'Treasures in Sound: He Puiaki Puoru', an ongoing series of remastered music of historical significance held by the Alexander Turnbull Library. "Viewed in retrospect, the breadth of Inia's repertoire is nothing short of astounding. Extending across the musical spectrum, it embraces classic and contemporary opera, lieder and ballads. through to pop songs. Broadway and West End musicals and concert recitals come in along the way, with the whole interrupted now and then for acting in stage plays, on radio, TV and films. And always, proudly, there are the beloved Maori songs he learned as a small Ngati Raukawa boy and treasured all his life." - Peter Downes Tracks: CD 1: I Got Plenty O' Nuttin' It Ain't Necessarily So Bess, You Is My Woman Now O Lawd, I'm On My Way Deep River Didn't It Rain Murder In De Market Time For Man Go Home Songs My Mother Taught Me Trees The Floral Dance Ako O Te Rangi Tarakihi Po- karekare Ana E Pari Ra - E Te Iwi Hoki Hoki Tonu Mai E Noho E Koroki and Kamate The Maori Flute Hinemoa Chant Yellow Bird Banana Boat Song Across The Sea The Holiday Song The Wanderer CD 2: Ol' Man River Ah Still Suits Me The Most Happy Fella Rosabella I Am Chu Chin Chow From China Anytime's Kissing Time The Cobbler's Song I'll Sing And Dance A Puzzlement Waiata Poi Just A Wearyin' For You Deep In My Heart, Dear Land Of My Fathers Men Of Harlech Der Musensohn Erlkönig The Income Tax Collector Ka Mate Ka Mate Now For Vengeance O Isis Und Osiris When A Maiden Takes Your Fancy The Song Of The Flea Pimen's Monologue Pimens DVD: Spike Milligan Remembers Inia Every Bend a Power (Documentary) |
