"Linda Eder's voice is simply amazing. She evokes such a range of emotions through her work--from happy-go-lucky to heavily traumatic. On this single, Eder reprises a fabulously scored version of "Vienna," a song from both her current CD (*It's No Secret Anymore*) and an earlier album. She and writer Frank Wildhorn really cook with this powerful love song of long-ago romance. After one listen, you'll know why it's no secret anymore."

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this sure wasn't it.

""Vienna," as sung by Linda Eder on her album, "It's No Secret Anymore" is one of the most beautiful songs you'll ever hear. I've been fortunate to see her perform it in person and recommend the song to anyone who'll listen. The seven versions on this single, however, have none of the qualities I love about the song. The soaring melody and fascinating orchestration that make the original so captivating are replaced by pounding drums and synthesized noise in the single's "mixes." A couple of the tracks were barely recognizable as "Vienna" at all. None of this is Eder's fault -her voice, on those few occasions when it is heard, is as spectacular as always.Please - if you haven't heard Linda Eder yet, don't let this be your introduction to her music. Buy "It's no Secret Anymore," "It's Time," or my personal favorite "And So Much More" first. Then, if you like pounding club/disco mix music, go ahead and try "Vienna" the single."
