Despite racking up Tony nominations and/or box-office success with Nine, Grand Hotel, and Titanic, Maury Yeston remains a relatively unknown Broadway auteur. And yet, what a fabulous songwriter he is. Listen to "Home," for instance: This excerpt from Phantom (the other adaptation of Phantom of the Opera) has great melodic hooks, along with natural sweep and unrestrained emotion. Like every song on this CD, it also has such dramatic drive that it easily stands on its own outside of its regular narrative frame. This collection of new recordings provides an excellent overview of Yeston's talent, juxtaposing numbers from his three best-known scores (though there's only one from Titanic) with rarities and a generous selection from his 1991 song cycle December Songs. Christine Ebersole, Liz Callaway, and Betty Buckley turn in expectedly strong performances, but watch also for Laura Benanti (the star of the 2003 revival of Nine), Christine Andreas, and Foster Sutton, who completely make the material theirs. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

a wonderful surprise.......2007-07-22

Like others, I bought this CD primarily for Sutton Foster's rendition of "I Want to Go to Hollywood." And while that's wonderful, the real surprises here are the songs from Yeston's song cycle "December Songs." Christine Ebersole and Christine Andreas give absolutely lovely, technically proficient, completely heartfelt renditions of "My Grandmother's Love Letters" and "By the River", respectively. I'd heard Andrea Marcovicci's recording of "December Songs" and was seriously underwhelmed. These two tracks just prove that Yeston might have over-estimated Marcovicci's range and technical ability. "By the River" is a revelation in the right hands, and Ms. Andreas's rendition is just four minutes of wonderful. I also want to mention Howard McGillin's "No Moon". This little song from "Titanic" is just so moving. Pulled out of context, it becomes a little jewel of metaphor.

The CD as a whole is beautifully recorded, with an intimacy and clarity that makes you feel like you're in the first row of a very small theatre. If you come across this and you're on the fence, take a chance. I bet that you'll be as pleasantly surprised and deeply moved as I've been.

What!? How is this possible?.......2007-01-20

How could one put together a Maury Yeston Songbook cd without a track from Andrea Marcovicci? He wrote a song cycle for her. Granted there are some great singers here but a grave oversight to not include Ms Marcovicci.

Beauty and grace, charm and wit - Maury's got it all.......2006-11-14

Maury Yeston may be musical theatre's unsung genius to the public at large, but I've heard his praises sung many times. A friend convinced me to buy the original Broadway cast of "Nine", and while there were some fantastic songs and an undeniable melodic gift throughout, it left me lukewarm. The same with "Grand Hotel". And I couldn't stand "Titanic" - too big, too self-important, too reliant on booming low brass and bombastic orchestral swells.

"Phantom" was the only one of his scores that touched something other than distanced admiration in me. It was everything Sir Lloyd Webber's popera travesty could never quite aspire to - epic yet human, beautiful and touching, with songs that showed actual details and emotions. So it was with that in mind that I purchased this, figuring that maybe Maury could prove me wrong, shorn from the restrictions of a book musical format.

And by God, did he prove me right and then some.

Maybe it's the singers. Maybe it's the perfect orchestrations. Maybe it's just the absence of a plot to follow. More than likely, it's all three, but this is one of the most gorgeous, enjoyable, heartbreaking albums I've ever purchased. Yeston has assembled an impressive cast to give voice to his music - such heavy Broadway hitters as Alice Ripley, Brent Barrett, Betty Buckley, Christine Ebersole and Howard McGillin mix with up-and-comers like Eden Espinosa, Sutton Foster, and Brian d'Arcy James. But the most impressive turns are given by people I'd never heard of before - Johnny Rodgers (who?) has a voice spun from gold, and he's absolutely perfect in "Danglin'", a simple and powerful song despite some odd lyric choices by Yeston. Likewise Philip Chaffin in "My True Love" and "I Am Longing", and Michael Holland displays a warm and untrained performance of "Another Day in the Modern World". These three men, who I'd never heard of before, absolutely stole the show. It doesn't hurt that they're given some of the best songs from the album.

Of course, the rest of the ensemble uniformly turns in worthwhile performances. The professionalism of Broadway is gloriously evident here, each singer making their song uniquely theirs. Brent Barrett made me hear "Only With You" as if for the first time. Betty Buckley is surprisingly vulnerable in "I Had A Dream About You". Alice Ripley is her usual bundle of raw emotion in "Please Let's Not Even Say Hello", and turns in a rare comic performance in "Call From The Vatican" to great effect (listen to that surprise high note near the end! Wow, Alice!). Christine Ebersole is heartbroken, elated, vulnerable, and tough all in the course of "Grandmother's Love Letters"' 4 minutes.

There are some weak spots - Eden Espinosa is mostly one-note during her song, and while it's certainly a high note, it's nothing you haven't heard her do better elsewhere. Laura Benanti's "Now and Then" goes by without much notice, which is a shame for this talented actress. And Betty Buckley goes back to her usual high-volume stridence in "Be On Your Own", which despite its chilling music deserves a more nuanced performance than Buckley gives here. But these songs would be standouts on any other album, and it's only the company they keep that prevent them from being excellent.

Oh, and "Unusual Way", possibly Yeston's best-known song, is so beautifully performed here by Brian d'Arcy James and a three-piece band that I nearly cried hearing it. And that's quite a feat for a song that I swore never to listen to again after the seventeenth girl in a day auditioned with it (badly). But the gender swap works perfectly, and d'Arcy James' golden Irish tenor swings through the music effortlessly.

As for the band - there are no missteps here. Each song is given exactly what it needs, from the Romantic-with-a-capital-R string section on "Home", to the jazzy saxophone on "Letter From the Vatican", to "Be On Your Own", which is given a Herrmann-esque string section. Some particular touches stand out - that lovely acoustic guitar on "Danglin'", the simple piano line on "Modern World", and the sublime cello/piano outro in "Unusual Way" really stuck with me after the album stopped playing. And the recording is without fault - crisp, encompassing, personable and expansive as the mood requires. The whole album sounds fantastic.

There is such a wide range of style and substance here that each song would deserve purchasing individually. As a collection? It's bliss. If you're a fan of theater music, appreciate great vocals, or just need something to keep you company on long nights, this is required purchase.

A perfect marriage of music and lyrics.......2006-09-07

I think Yeston must be the most underrated talent in music theatre. And not just music theatre ... for as far as I know, "Danglin'" is not from a show - a jewel of a song ... and a disarmingly honest rendition from Johnny Rogers (what a beautiful voice! Why hasn't he made more CD's?) Some other favourites are "New Words" (not enough parent-child love songs out there ... and I can't imagine it could be sung any better than this), "You're there too" (with a charming and unexpected twist), "Simple" (Callaway is superb), "Only With You" (loveable rogue!) ... to name but a few. Inspired music theatre writing. A must for any musical buff, composer or singer seeking repertoire that will help them stand out from the crowd.

The Maury Yeston Songbook.......2006-08-30

A good album sung by good singers. I have been an admirer of Maury Yeston for a number of years . I am a great fan of "Nine"
which I consider his best work.(If possible try to listen to the
Australian Cast Recording with John Diedrich) I enjoy listening to artists like Alice Ripley, Brent Barrett, Sutton Foster,and my very favourite singer Liz Callaway. All in all a great CD to just sit back ,relax and enjoy Les Breen

Album Description

Born 1924 in Vienna, Theodore Bikel was thirteen when he and his parents left Austria for Palestine. Fluent in Hebrew, Yiddish, and German with a respectable command of English and French, he intended to study and eventually teach comparative linguistics. In 1946 Bikel entered London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art from which he graduated with honors two years later. It was also at this time that he began to develop a serious interest in the guitar and folk music.

But he was first to make his mark as an actor. Sir Laurence Olivier was so impressed with Bikel's performance in several small London theatre productions that he offered him a roll in his production of A Streetcar Named Desire, starring Vivien Leigh. Bikel soon took over the second male lead, Mitch, in the play.

From Streetcar on, Theodore Bikel's career has been illuminated by superior stage and screen portrayals. In London he won acclaim playing the Russian Colonel in Ustinov's The Love Of Four Colonels and on Broadway his roster of memorable performances includes Tonight in Samarkand, The Rope Dancers, The Lark and the original Broadway production of The Sound Of Music in which he created the role of Baron con Trapp. Nationally he starred in a number of other plays, including tours of Zorba and Fiddler on the Roof. After having played the role of Tevye over 2,000 times since 1967, Bikel's Tevye continues to garner the highest praise from audiences and critics nation-wide whenever he repeats the role.

Theodore Bikel's television career in the United States spans some 35 years. His roles on TV cover an amazing range of characterizations: from a Scottish policeman in Alfred Hitchcock Presents to a Mad Bomber, a South African Boer on the hunt in New York (Equalizer) to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, to Henry Kissinger in The Final Days and the role which earned him his L.A. Emmy award in 1988 for his role on public television as the 82-year old Harris Newmark.

Theodore Bikel has recorded 20 record albums mostly for the Elektra label in addition to a few releases on Columbia, Peter Pan, and Reprise. He is also an accomplished translator of song lyrics.

Theodore Bikel was a co-founder of the Newport Folk Festival.

Great Composer, Great Pianist.......2005-03-31

This album contains a masterful interpretation by the spectacular pianist Denver Oldham of the beautiful, important, and often forgotten piano works of R. Nathaniel Dett. Perfection of expression is the most accurate way I can think to describe Oldham's performances both recorded and live.

As the title might suggest, this was Sheila Chandra's declaration of independence after scoring a U.K. hit with the group Monsoon and their song, "Ever So Lonely." Monsoon still endures as a delightful and occasionally transcendent slice of pure pop exotica, but this reissue of Chandra's 1983 album, Out on My Own, doesn't weather as well. With music still composed by Monsoon writers Steve Coe and Martin Smith, Out on My Own was born of Indian instrumentation hung on predominantly pop song structures. But with slogans masquerading as lyrics, "Unchanged Malady" being the nadir, they sound uncomfortable with the form. Nevertheless, it's evident that even with sub-par material and a rare lapse in taste by her longtime producer Coe, Chandra's voice still rings out, both radiant and assured. You can hear the germ of her future vocal style in the simplicity of "Fly to Me" and the ambient spaces of "From a Whisper ... to a Scream," as she sings Indian bols in a hallucinogenic landscape. Sheila Chandra's solo debut strains at the leash of ambitions that would wait 'till subsequent recordings like Quiet and Weaving My Ancestors Voices to be fully realized. --John Diliberto

Customer Reviews:

Amazing voice!.......2006-09-07

Sheila Chandra's music is very poetic. She really sings from the heart A++++

Voice of an Angel.......2002-10-24

If you are bored with Pop music (or should I say Muzak), give a listen to Sheila Chandra. Her voice is wonderful, and she does wonderful things with it. Her music is rich with the tradition of India and also accessible and modern. The title track is quite liberating for an Eastern woman. If you want to explore some new music, Sheila's music is a good place to start.

This is a great example of Indipop !.......2000-10-08

As it's label suggests ... this is Indi - Pop. A fussion of east - west influence. In her first solo effort, Sheila displays her ability to not only draw you in with her clear, smooth, vocals; but gives hints of her [later to dominate]use of her voice as truely a musical instrument in itself.

While some may find it "less transcendental" then her more current efforts, it's important to remember this fact in itself lends this album to a much broader appeal. It has both a relaxing and invigorating quality ... perfect for both active listening & passive background music.

As a long time fan, Sheila rocks!

Great Collection.......2005-11-03

Vernon Garrett has had a longer career, making many recordings for many different labels and despite this he still remains underrated. This British Import CD collects a wide variety of tracks from different stages of his career, many with his late wife Jewel. The first twelve tracks are just Vernon, kicking off with the rocking "If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time" (here in an alternate take for some reason) which was a local hit. Other fine tracks include the jumping "You and Me Together" and the grinding slow blues "I Made My Own World". Many of the tracks stem from Garrett's extremely rare LP `Going to My Baby's Place' and it's too bad the whole LP wasn't issued in this CD because these songs are fantastic, including the LP's title track and the funky "One Man's Loss". The duets between Vernon and Jewel are good, though not as strong as the solo Vernon tracks. Also included are live recordings in Oakland from 1964 with Vern and Jewel that are also very enjoyable and the sound quality is surprisingly very good.
Despite the few small complaints, this is a terrific collection of music by an artist who deserves compilations like these. If you like 60's soul with touches of blues and funk than you will definitely enjoy this fine collection by this underrated soul great.

As the title might suggest, this was Sheila Chandra's declaration of independence after scoring a U.K. hit with the group Monsoon and their song, "Ever So Lonely." Monsoon still endures as a delightful and occasionally transcendent slice of pure pop exotica, but this reissue of Chandra's 1983 album, Out on My Own, doesn't weather as well. With music still composed by Monsoon writers Steve Coe and Martin Smith, Out on My Own was born of Indian instrumentation hung on predominantly pop song structures. But with slogans masquerading as lyrics, "Unchanged Malady" being the nadir, they sound uncomfortable with the form. Nevertheless, it's evident that even with sub-par material and a rare lapse in taste by her longtime producer Coe, Chandra's voice still rings out, both radiant and assured. You can hear the germ of her future vocal style in the simplicity of "Fly to Me" and the ambient spaces of "From a Whisper ... to a Scream," as she sings Indian bols in a hallucinogenic landscape. Sheila Chandra's solo debut strains at the leash of ambitions that would wait 'till subsequent recordings like Quiet and Weaving My Ancestors Voices to be fully realized. --John Diliberto

Customer Reviews:

Amazing voice!.......2006-09-07

Sheila Chandra's music is very poetic. She really sings from the heart A++++

Voice of an Angel.......2002-10-24

If you are bored with Pop music (or should I say Muzak), give a listen to Sheila Chandra. Her voice is wonderful, and she does wonderful things with it. Her music is rich with the tradition of India and also accessible and modern. The title track is quite liberating for an Eastern woman. If you want to explore some new music, Sheila's music is a good place to start.

This is a great example of Indipop !.......2000-10-08

As it's label suggests ... this is Indi - Pop. A fussion of east - west influence. In her first solo effort, Sheila displays her ability to not only draw you in with her clear, smooth, vocals; but gives hints of her [later to dominate]use of her voice as truely a musical instrument in itself.

While some may find it "less transcendental" then her more current efforts, it's important to remember this fact in itself lends this album to a much broader appeal. It has both a relaxing and invigorating quality ... perfect for both active listening & passive background music.

As a long time fan, Sheila rocks!
