Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

    5 out of 5 stars Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12

    This is the "Merry Widow" with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved this rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with the word "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note with an incressing crescendo and fortissimo louder than the chorus and holding the final high note---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

    The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

    5 out of 5 stars "I Need You to Survive" is brilliant!.......2006-08-17

    I am the Artistic Advisor and one of the Founding Directors, and current music directors of the Colorado Springs Children's Chorale. I have had the opportunity to hear, and share several concerts with the unbelievable Chicago Children's Choir and their amazing Directors and Accompanists in Japan, Des Moines, and Chicago. Josephine Lee's direction of "I Need You to Survive", a gospel piece written in commemoration of 9-11, is masterful. I recommend this heartfelt album, giving it and the Chicago Children's Choir my highest praise. Congratulations to the Chicago Children's Choir on their 50th Anniversary!

    5 out of 5 stars The best!.......2005-06-12

    This CD is amazing. I am in a local county children's choir and we have been lucky enough to meet a few of the Chicago Children's Neiborhood Choirs. On one of our tours, we actually got to observe a rehersal of the Chicago Children's Concert Choir. They inspired me so much with their beautiful music, and I still can't beleive that kids that are around my age can produce such a great sound with their voices. They are litterally one of the best choirs in the world, and I can completely see why. I bought this CD because I just couldn't get enough of their music.

    5 out of 5 stars Unbelievable!.......2005-03-25

    Open Up Your Heart is a true classic. I bought it after hearing the Choir on Fox News in the Morning and just love it. It is a must have and makes a great gift!

    5 out of 5 stars An amazing display of children's voices.......2005-03-21

    This album is a prime example of the amazing abilities that children have. The CD has a wide variety of amazing music and is just overall great to listen to! It is entertaining for everyone! It is a great form of entertainment!

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing Choir....Amazing Music!.......2005-03-15

    The Chicago Children's Choir, now almost 50 years in existence, has never sounded like this. It simply has to be the most incredible children's choir in the world. This CD is so representative of the ethos of the choir in its choice of songs from around the world; some protest, some pastoral and some popular. The artistry is stunning. These young people are so talented and yet such a performing unit. They have obviously been trained by a very gifted director who knows how to get these talented young people to work together and individually to create such wonderful music. This CD, their first in studio production, truly does open up the heart and makes it sing!

    4 out of 5 stars Old Fashioned Sincerity.......2006-12-30

    This is not the best recording of Messiah but it is by no means a disaster. Susskind was an able conductor with a valid view of this great piece. The recording from the 1950s is more than adequate (there is some roughness in the treble but it is full and clear - though some edits are very obvious indeed). The orchestra is excellent and the choir sing well. The soloists - all of them - are superb, among the very best in any version of Messiah! Susskind's tempos are slow by modern standards but there is good rhythmical bounce and a genuine sense of the greatness of the piece. If you can adjust to the broad tempos and the big scale conception then you will discover important aspects of this masterpiece in this performance - and the set costs next to nothing!

    1 out of 5 stars One of the worst recordings ever made.......2006-05-10

    This is only my second one star review. And I am rather generous with stars. But this recording is just horrible, especially considering that all of the participants are legendary musicians. First of all, this is extremely old fashioned Handel. The textures are way too heavy for music of the baroque. But worst of all, the performance just sits there like mud on your tires that won't come off. Yes, the price is very low, but whatever you do, do not buy this recording.

    2 out of 5 stars Pete's Dad.......2005-12-11

    I have had a CD of the London Philharmonic version of the Messiah conducted by Fredrick Jackson for several years and enjoyed listening to it. However, the quality of the recording leaves something to be desired.

    4 out of 5 stars A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

    This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

      4 out of 5 stars They're playin' country music........2007-03-20

      This Buck Owens album was recorded at various sessions between August 1965 and April 1966. There were an incredible four #1 Country hits on this album ("Open Up Your Heart", "Think of Me", "Waitin' in Your Welfare Line" and "Sam's Place"). The album was somewhat of a departure for Buck; instead of the usual mix of leads performed by Buck and various Buckaroos, Buck sings all the leads. Aside from the hits, the other songs on the album are pretty good, too. This is a typically solid Buck Owens album. The CD adds two bonus tracks, which are the single versions of "Open Up Your Heart" and "Think of Me". These are basically the same as the album versions, except they are in mono instead of stereo.

      5 out of 5 stars Solid and thoroughly enjoyable.......2007-01-07

      This album shows off what a great innovater Buck was. The highlight is the array of styles that Buck merged to create the Bakersfield sound jump out of the tracks here, like the Mexican guitar influence in "Heart of Glass" and the truly awesome "Think of Me", the surf influence in "Cadillac Lane", and the hillbilly picking on "Open Up Your Heart". Buck was never the greatest lyricist, but he's got some good stuff to work with here in "Heart of Glass" and "Waitin' in Your Welfare Line". I use this album to party and also to mellow out, the guitar licks are just plain relaxing. The only thing missing is Don Rich's hillbilly guitar and vocals are a little underused compared to albums like "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail", but this is still my favorite Buck Owens album.

      5 out of 5 stars Another Good'n.......2006-10-06

      Here's a 14 song collection from Buck's Album "Open Up Your Heart", provided as a re-release by Sundazed Records. They've done a spectacular job with this effort, as they have done with the remainder of Buck's Studio Albums; you really need to check out the entire collection. This CD contains some of Buck's best work, including "Think Of Me", a Nat Stuckey penned "Waitin in Your Welfare Line", and a rolicking "Sams Place". While the majority of the songs are Buck Owens' penned, there's also contributions from the great Red Simpson and of course, the legendary Don Rich. Get this one while it's still available.

      4 out of 5 stars Buck Owens Scores Again.......2000-06-17

      This album is a sleeper! It carries a lot of bang for the Buck in that the songs are all solid, consistently played gems. The lead-off title track features James Burton on lead guitar, in what is for him a rare display of guitar prominence. His playing is crisp, tough, and there is a generous helping of it. All the songs are recorded quite well, with nice punch to all the instruments. Buck's vocals as well as his writing likewise are of consistently high quality.

      why white HEART ? is not white HEAT ?

      3 out of 5 stars opened my heart.......2005-10-01

      Having followed Dame Madonna since 'Holiday' I am one of those updating their collection to CD, 'Open Your Heart' (this version) is totally 80's and therefore fantastic. It's the 'Hey....are you gonna go out with me or what....scared o' me or something' towards the end that cements it for me as an 80's Madonna lover (and as I was verging on puberty at the time,yes I was!). I had it on vinyl as a child but it had been consigned to the loft long ago due to the digital revolution, but it is the welcome return of a much under-rated old friend. I know people knock 80's overdubs but in their place they did good! although this is one of the longest remixes I owned as a kid, it still is one of the best for nostagia (even though then it was ahead of it's time)I really would recommend this to anyone that likes pop music.

      5 out of 5 stars The Queen's Masterpiece.......2005-06-28

      This song takes my breath away it is so excellent. How can some people not relate to this? I certainly can. You like a guy but he doesn't notice you. The beat is thrilling, the lyrics rock, Madonn's voice sounds great. I love you soooo much, Madonna!

      5 out of 5 stars DONT TRY TO RUN.. she will keep up with you.........2003-11-05

      Another classic LP I HAVE ON MY ROOM WALL. OPEN YOUR HEART IS MY 2ND MOST FAVORITE MADONNA SONG.. BUY IT. OR JUST GET THE WHOLE TRUE BLUE ALBUM.

      5 out of 5 stars Open Your Heart To This Underrated Madonna Classic!.......2003-05-03

      Open Your Heart was the fourth single of five to be released from Madonna's multi-million selling No.1 third album True Blue. Released in the UK in December 1986, the song peaked at No.4 in the UK where it spent only 9 weeks on the chart and was the lowest charting single from the album. The song is criminally underrated because of this and deserved a lot more attention around the time of its release. It did, however, go to No.1 in the US, becoming her fifth US No.1 single.

      Open Your Heart opens with a brassy and epic traditional pop beat that drives like the wind, setting the scene for the subject of the song and the mood it portrays. This beat is sparkly and instantly recognisable as one of Madonna's most unusual, before it dims down as Madonna begins her singing. "I see you on the street and you walk on by. You make me wanna hang my head down and cry. If you gave me half the chance you'd see, my desire burning up inside of me. But you choose to look the other way," sings Madonna. Her target is focused and she's determined to win over this man who obviously likes her but refuses to make a move. Madonna is taut and determined in her ways of persuasion. She's taking no rubbish and wants him to see sense. Madonna then goes on to sing a great bridge and an even more fantastic chorus. She then begins her second verse. Her determination seems to increase in this second verse, until she's telling us exactly what she'll do to get this man in the bridge, "Well I've got something to say. Don't try to run, I can keep up with you, nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to..." And then she goes into the second chorus with its classic lines, "Open your heart to me, baby. I hold the lock and you hold the key. Open your heart to me, darlin'. I'll give you love if you, you turn the key." The song carries on with its fabulous chorus as the song gradually fades out with Madonna's determination seemingly decreasing as it seems to be working on the man she's going after.

      The video to Open Your Heart is brilliant. It opens with a young boy trying to sneak into a peep show of whom Madonna is the star. He is refused and has to wait outside until Madonna has finished her act. We finally get to see Madonna on a chair in her legendary conical bra - first with a black wig, before revealing her true bleached-blonde hair that dominated all but one (La Isla Bonita) of the videos from the True Blue album. All in all, Open Your Heart is a fantastic song with a brilliant video to match - another Madonna classic!
