 | Jersey Boys (2005 Original Broadway Cast Recording) [Read More ...]
Description: Recounting the rich history and reliving the timeless sounds of the phenomenal Frankie Vallie & The 4 Seasons, the new Broadway musical Jersey Boys answers the musical-and philosophical question, "How did four would-be wise guys from Newark, NJ, become one of the greatest chart-t... |
 | Chicken Little [Read More ...]
Description: This soundtrack offers a pretty standard mix of new songs, old chestnuts, and excerpts from the score (here by John Debney). On the new tip, Joss Stone and Patti LaBelle engage in an overheated battle of the divas on CD opener "Stir It Up," a bouncy piece of fluff that sounds mor... |
 | Myths And Hymns (1998 Off-Broadway Cast, Originally Saturn Returns) [Read More ...]
Description: Until this disc, Adam Guettel was best known as the mastermind behind Floyd Collins, the gut-wrenching, boundary-breaking piece of musical theater that never gained the popularity it deserved. Myths & Hymns is another beast altogether, though just as interesting. Guettel has crea... |
 | Riverdance: Music from the Show [Read More ...]
Description: It's hard to believe that Riverdance, which began as a 7-minute intermission act during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, is already 10 years old. Nobody back then could have imagined that a new-fangled amalgam of Irish folk styles, light classical music a la Albert W. Ketelbey a... |

 | Amour (2002 Original Broadway Cast) [Read More ...]
Description: It's hard not to feel a little embittered by the fate of Amour when you see the junk that spends years on Broadway. Composer Michel Legrand and lyricist Didier van Cauwelaert's delightful show (Le Passe Muraille in the original French version) closed after a woefully short run in... |
 | Film Favorites: Music from the Movies [Read More ...]
Not what I expected:These bundle of movie hits are renditions of the original songs.
Some of them fall short of the acceptable target. |
 | Bond and Beyond [Read More ...]
Review: A great idea, but incomplete:Erich Kunzel plays the Bond themes? What a great idea! In addition, there are a few more selections in the same vein, like the cops-n-robbers TV medley, music from The Untouchables, Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop, etc. Sometimes, you want to listen ... |
 | Me and Juliet (1953 Original Broadway Cast) [Read More ...]
Review: a minor Rodgers and Hammerstein work in a very major key:ME AND JULIET was one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's least successful works, opening on Broadway in 1953 and running for only ten months, despite favourable reviews and a highly talented cast (led by Isabel Bigley, Joan McCra... |
