It's probably best known for raising the stakes for 1980s blockbuster shows by landing a helicopter on stage, but Miss Saigon is also a good show with good music. As a follow-up to their international smash Les Misérables, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg (with an assist from Richard Maltby Jr.) adapted the tale of Madame Butterfly to the Vietnam War, realized here by the original 1989 London cast. While it may seem overheated at times, the despair and passion fit the tragic story, and Schönberg's pop-flavored style receives its most appropriate setting. Leading the cast are Jonathan Pryce as the Engineer (a Eurasian character whose casting generated some controversy when the producers wanted to have Pryce, a Caucasian, reprise the role on Broadway), Lea Salonga (in her first major role) as the young Vietnamese bride, Simon Bowman as her lover, and Claire Moore as his American wife (and a young Ruthie Henshall as one of the sweaty bargirls). The songs include the bawdy opener "The Heat Is on in Saigon," "The Movie in My Mind," "Why God Why," the romantic duet "The Last Night of the World," the female duet "I Still Believe," the male chorus number "Bui-Doi," and the Engineer's mocking "The American Dream." The booklet includes photographs and full lyrics. It's also available in a 58-minute highlights version. --David Horiuchi

Excellent.......2007-07-26

Loved everything, and a very good investment indeed, though I would like to see a dvd version of the actual musical. Worth every penny!!!

Ms. Saigon CD.......2007-05-12

I made the right decision buying this CD. I've enjoyed listening to it and thank you so much for delivering it on time.

Miss Saigon (Original 1989 London Cast).......2007-01-05

Outstanding recording containing moving music and lyrics that tug at the heart. A must for any Broadway enthusiast.

Miss Saigon- even better than Les Miserables!.......2006-12-11

My personal opinion is that Miss Saigon is even better than Les Miserables. Now, don't get me wrong, I think that Les Miserables is also a really great production with a nice story. But with this recording, you can literally feel the feeling coming out of your speakers.

To start, the cast is absolutley fantastic. Of course Lea Salonga is outstanding here and plays what I think think is her best performance of her career in Kim. Simon Bowman is also great, His big song "Why, God, Why?" is one of the stand-outs of the show. I was also very suprised at how much I liked the supporting cast as well. Claire Moore does an absolutley fantastic job as Ellen. and "Now That I've Seen Her" is one of my favorite songs of the whole recording. I also loved Peter Polycarpou as John, and of course, Jonathan Pryce as the Engineer.

I also found the story so interesting and dramatic, but a good dramatic. While Les Miserables was more a "story within a story" kind of musical, Miss Saigon's is easy to understand, deep, and makes you feel instantly connected to the characters, not knowing who's side to take in the story.

Miss Saigon is one of my favorite muscial's (which is saying a lot, sice my other favorites is Rent and Wicked) and this is a definitley a recording that you'll want to have if your a fan of musical theatre. Trust me when I say that if you give Miss Saigon a chance, you will be truly be rewarded with this beautiful tale.

Original (?) cast recording.......2006-09-25

Interesting that they call this the original cast recording when Her or Me was replaced with the retooled Now That I've Seen Her...

sappy ballads.......2006-07-24

The compositions, Rhythms and singin-style of Peter Cetera sound always the same. He is a typical sappy love song - singer who prefers the love ballads and cheesy love adventures.
it might have been a bit tedious and boring.

The problem is everywhere: If you are a Hardrock fan like bands Uriah Heep, Stevie Ray Vaughan, AC/DC, Rory Gallagher, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, your ears can't be familar with all these silly love songs. My ears cannot work like that.

there are two alternatives:
- if you are a hardrock fan. You like a mythological lyrics, you won't like Peter Cetera or Chicago. Keep your fingers away from this !!!
- if you are a sappy love song fan then please buy this cd !!!

A Set Of Songs That Sound Alike.......2006-06-22

Well - actually I do enjoy this CD while it is playing. But the person that would buy this CD should just by the Heart of Chicago set, or the Very Best of . . . or just buy Chicago 16 - 19. The problem is that their music really sounds too similar during this (the Foster) era, and the hits sound even more alike. But all of David Foster's stuff sounds alike. Check out Celine Dion and Michael Crawford's versions of "O Holy Night."

But, let's face it - whatever Chicago did in the 80s worked. And every successful pop artist (even most rock artists) figured out that the music-buying public wanted novelty, but not too many surprises. In the 80s Peter Cetera, and probably Danny Seraphine, took over the creative reins, and we got their own honest interpretation of the Chicago sound. I for one am glad that did whatever they needed to to stay in business.

The other good thing about this album is that my daughters and wife love it. I can't crank up much of Chicago's other stuff, or play it in the car.

But this GH collection always seemed a little unnecessary to me. I can't explain it, it just does. So I give it a 4 and not a 3. If you agree with other reviewers that you just love these songs, then by all means buy it.

But if you are a border line Chicago fan wanting to add to your collection, skip it and go for one of the others listed above.

Cut Away!.......2006-02-11

Newer edition of Chicago's Greatest Hits including newer version of WHAT KIND OF A MAN WOULD I BE from Chicago 19 cut away a number of 70s hits such as IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW. It was released as HEART OF CHICAGO now the title of 2 volumed compilation.

This compilation is exclusively for 80s Chicago fans but I have to say they are a lot more than that.

Chicago is #1.......2005-08-07

This group is the best. I am 27 years old and I listen to this cd every time I am in my car. They have the best songs. My eight year old son also sings to this cd with me.

my review.......2005-07-26

while most hardcore fans despise the 80's version of chicago it cant be denied that they're change of style was what they needed to do in order to survive and they switched from they're jazz rock style to a ballad making machine and the best songs on here are naturally god's(peter cetera) "your the inspiration"(a song thats is very special to me) "hard habit to break" "along comes a woman" every times i hear thoes songs it makes me wish peter cetera stayed and while the jason scheff songs on here are awesome(as well as som other songs off the real albums) are good they just dont compare but anyway if you wanan hear some good solid 80's love music you cant go wrong with this one

Good Find.......2007-02-19

I was not able to find this CD on any of the on-line music sites. in other words my girlfriend is "Happy," so am I.

Childhood Favorite.......2006-03-26

I supposed I should not have been watching this movie when I was nine years old, but I remember seeing it several times via HBO. More importantly, my father bought the soundtrack and we used to listen to it over & over in the car. The songs stuck with me for years, and every know and then I'll hear something out of context and I'll be taken back to roadtrips with my family. It's something that I won't think about for ages, but when I'm reminded of it, I can't believe I don't still have a copy of the soundtrack.

I remember it had quiet and comforting songs mixed in with songs you could sing along too. It's perfect for driving and just having on in the background.

An eclectic treat!.......2005-12-01

I bought this CD because I needed a good version of Iko Iko. After listening to 5 or 6 versions I liked this one the best although I wish the vocals were a little crisper. What came as a wonderful surprise is that I fell in love with just about every song on the CD, particularly Scatterlings of Africa, the first Hans Zimmer song, and Beyond the Blue Horizon. I actually really enjoy every song, (except Stardust), and highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys a wide variety of music.

Pleasant, eclectic mix of coffee-shop favorites.......2003-05-21

The CD itself is a rather short mix of light favorites and classic blues and jazz. Is it a coincidence that Iko Iko later made it into the Tom Cruise produced Mission Impossible 2? Etta James' classic is probably owned by half the world already. The rest are nice to have in as background filler while you're doing something, like writing a review for instance.

I bought this CD, however, for the two songs "On the Road" and "Vegas" composed by Hans Zimmer. The first is a unique, airy instrumental that's slighly reminiscent of Jan Hammer's Miami Vice scores. The latter conveys power and excitement and it enhances the movie so masterfully that I believe it was the breakthrough hit that helped make him one of the most prolific and sought-after movie composers today.

A soundtrack you should buy.......2002-04-14

I usually do not buy movie soundtracks they are usually a cheap money making deal off the movie. Rain Man is different the music is good and every piece is nice. The movie was so good and is such a classic that the music that they put in it was just great.

YOU MUST GET.......2007-01-12

This collection is terrific. During the 85-89 era, I was a teenager, and this brings back all the great memories.

Maybe This Will Help?.......2004-08-29

First off, I won't argue what's here because these songs are good enough to be in this collection. Now that I got that out of the way, here is the real problem: licencing. Madonna and company are not here for that reason alone. However, by looking at the song list, you may buy the songs you want but don't have. You can also buy each CD separately. There are other options then this to summerize.

Billboard top hits 1985-1989 box set.......2004-06-19

I was just going to buy this music box set when I suddenly remembered two great songs of 1985, which are: Born in the USA and Careless Whisper. Am I wrong? or weren't they hits? Where are they? I think they could have left out two other songs and included the ones I mentioned, because they were #1 hits. It just got me thinking that this box set is really not so great.

Amazon.com

In addition to candles, white wine, and a brand new roll of toilet paper, every bachelor pad should be equipped with a Brian McKnight CD. Conveniently, his From There to Here, 1989-2002 greatest hits collection provides one-stop shopping of the sexiest, smoochiest ballads known to humankind. McKnight may be guilty of excessive sentimentality, but damn if he can't sing; even his most saccharine moments are redeemed by his buttery vocals and absolute earnestness. Two new songs--"Let Me Love You" and "The Way I Do"--bookend the collection. But what's in between has put the Buffalo native on the R&B map, especially his gorgeous cover of Van Morrison's "Crazy Love," and his plaintive duet with Vanessa Williams on "Love Is." Indeed, there's abundant love on offer, and McKnight--who also wrote, played, and/or produced these various songs--has given the booty call its most sumptuous soundtrack. --Kim Hughes

Album Details

From There to Here is Filled with Mcknight-penned and Produced Gems from his Very First Single, 1992's "The Way Love Goes" to 2002's "Love of My Life". Includes the Bonus Track "Over and Over Again" Not on the USA Version.

Nice.......2007-04-10

This is a good CD because all of his hit songs are on 1 cd. It is a "gotta have" if you are a Brian McKnight fan.

Brian McKnight.......2007-03-20

Great way to introduce someone to Brian McKnight. Now own all of his music.

Essential!.......2007-02-16

This is an essential album for Brian McKnight fans! Most of his popular tracks are on this album, including "6, 8 , 12", "Back At One", "One Last Cry", and "Anytime". If you're a fan of smooth ballads and relaxing slow jams, this is a must-have for your collection. I know downloading songs on to computers is a hip thing these days, but if you're still old school, and enjoy collecting CD's, this isn't a bad one to have. This has to rank as one of my top 10 favorite albums of all time!

GREAT ALBUM CAME AS DESCRIBED IN AD.......2007-01-10

IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE THIS CD, YOU SHOULD! ONE OF A KIND.

The best of Mr. Mcknight.......2006-12-17

As with most of greatest hits reviews which feature new material I mainly focus on the new material. Brian Mcknight is one of the best balladers in modern R&B. His From There to Here: 1989-2002 features two songs the first being the lovely ballad Let Me Love You which showcases his talent to the fullest while The Way I Do is a up-tempo number featuring Mr.Cheeks & Baby. While I feel the disc included some of Mcknight's other excllent vocals from soundtracks and compliations including Win from Men Of Honor, Thinkin About You from The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps and his amazing cover of Distant Lover from Marivn Is 60 this is still an excllent hits album.

A fun soundtrack to a fun movie.......2006-05-10

Many of the reviews of this album that have already been posted make a range of excellent points. First of all let me just say that this movie was fun and really captured the times. The soundtrack tries to do the same but doesn't quite match the movie. For both to be in synch we had to wait for the second film.

Anyway, for what it's worth here is my track by track analysis.

Extreme - Play with me - This is a juvenile yet way cool track. The guitar work is great, a real standout and has some quite distinctive Nuno Bettencourt touches. The guy had way too much talent for one human being. I can see how the inherent silliness of the track may grate with some people though.

Vital Signs - The Boys and the girls are Doing It - my brain tells me that I don't like this song but my head keeps on bobbing away to it whenever I'm driving down the highway to this CD. A fun track that suited the movie.

Glen Burtnick - Not So Far Away - some may like this, but for me it's a total waste of space. I can't justify that opinion with any great insight - something inside me just hates this track.

Tora Tora - Dancing With A Gypsy - Ah yes Tora Tora. They were utterly lambasted at the time. I've never heard any of their albums so don't know if that was fair or not. But anyway, on the strenght of this track they were the audio version of a good party. Mindless yet totally fun and the track bounces along with bright and buoyant good vibes.

Shark Island - Father Time - why didn't Shark Island break big. No forget big, why didn't they break huge. This band do themselves a big favour with this track. I'm convinced half of their album sales were due to the inclusion of two of their tracks on this soundtrack. Strong song, strong vocals, a band with intent and they actually manage to combine some ooommpphh into their tunes while still making their songs fun. Nice solid guitar work but it's the vocals that really rip for my mind.

Big Pig - I Can't Break Away - Big Pig were not one of my things at the time. They were deemed to be somewhere between a pop band and a rock band with a gimmick name. However they'd had a hit or two at the time and I gotta admit, even a dedicated hard rocker such as myself can enjoy the uplifting vibes of this tune. And the female vocals with actual strength are darn good.

Shark Island - Dangerous - this is SI's second song on this album and is actually a far dumber beast than the first. And in my mind it's always synonymous with the scene in the film where the song was placed. See the film for what I mean. But that's not do dis this fine, fine tune from one of the unsung gems of the times.

Bricklin - Walk Away - the wheels fall off for me on this one, can't really stand it much. Sorry.

Robbie Robb - In Time - Don't know much about this chap, but I can say that this tune doesn't really do much for me. At this point the casual listener is starting to think about skipping back a few tracks to replay Big Pig and Shark Island, or maybe even Tora Tora.

Power Tool - Two Heads are Better than One - Excellent, as the Wylde Stalyns would say. This fine and fun toe tapping tune rounds out the album nicely, saving it from an ignominous end. Great mindless stuff and that's meant as a compliment in this case.

Overall the production values on this CD are good, and some cracking tunes make you forget the mediocre stuff. Given the different music on display here it's hard to figure out how the compiler could of come up with a better way of arranging the tracks, but the fact that the bands are so different could in some ears detract from the experience a little, but for the casual hard rock fan, well your sure to find a couple of gems here to float your boat.



Lastly, if your on the cusp of buying this record because you liked the movie, then my advice is to jump right in and buy it, after all it's the fun vibes of the movie that will enhance your listening pleasure.

Cheap guitar thrills!!.......2005-07-27

Most of the music on this soundtrack is from bands that were preparing to release debut albums or from people "in the scene" at the time who cobbled together a band for fun.
Extreme has the first track here, which also appeared on their debut shortly thereafter in a slightly different form. Silly lyrics, absolutely killer guitar work by Nuno. The man absolutely shreds.
Glenn Burtnick is here. He is mostly a songwriter who has written hits for all kinds of people from Cyndi Lauper to Jo Dee Messina. A musician's musician, Jon Bon Jovi recruited him for the original inception of Bon Jovi in the early 80's. He puts together a nice, fun piece.
Shark Island was supposed to be big and therefore have 2 tracks here. For some reason they didn't make it but the songs are great.
The only other band worth mentioning is Power Tool. However you probably know them better from their massive hit album a couple years later called "After the Rain", recorded under the more familiar name of Nelson. Yup, the twin sons of Ricky Nelson with the flowing blonde locks. Their recording career started right here, folks.
Beyond that, it is what it is. Guitar rock for a teen movie from the 80's.

WYLD STALYNS!.......2005-04-09

This soundtrack to the famous teen comedy, "Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure" is a great CD. This is pure Wyld Stalyns music. The whole CD is nothing but non-stop Rock and Roll. Included in this soundtrack is an excellent selection of music to capture the late 1980s.

The greatest tracks included on this CD are: "Boys and Girls Are Doing It" by Vital Signs (song while Napoleon is having fun on the Waterslides). This is an OUTSTANDING party tune. Great riffs and pure genious lyrics. You only heard half of what a materpiece this song is during the movie. The next track, "Not So Far Away" by Glen Burtnik is a great rock ballad. Very nice lyrics and great melody.

A couple tracks later, you'll hear a Heavy Metal classic by Shark Island, "Father Time" (when Rufus is getting ready to go back in time). This tune rocks all the way through. For five minutes you hear the greatest array of guitar solos ever! This song is definitely a masterpiece. Another pretty good tune is "I Can't Break Away" (during opening of the movie) by Big Pig. This is a cool tune with some interesting keyboard sounds and the female vocalist is great. Finally, one of the greatest ballads of all time, "In Time" (when Bill and Ted visit the future) by Robbi Robb. Outstanding lyrics and a very loving melody. Ballads may not get any better than this.

For those of you that loved the movie, now own the phenomenal soundtrack. "Be excellent to each other and Party on dudes."

George Harrison was the best! .......2007-03-23

This is the only George Harrison cd I have , but I think it's great. If you're a fan , i definitly recommend it. All the songs are very good. I bought it for "All those Years Ago" and "Cheer Down" which are great of course , but i think the whole album is great , classic George Harrison. I really love "Cheer Down" , great song and the slide guitar on that track is outstanding! God Bless you George! You were one of great ones!

George Deserves Better!.......2006-11-23

I have always been a fan of George Harrison's solo work and I think its a shame that one of his hit singles, as well as other lesser known gems, are not included in this "Best of Dark Horse" collection.

The most obvious song missing from this collection is the single "This Song", from the record "33 1/3." It's a catchy pop song that charted quite successfully in 1976. Why they chose to include more obscure songs in this collection and omit this one, is baffling to me...

Also, two beautiful love songs, "Learning How to Love You" from the previously mentioned LP, as well as "Your Love is Forever" from the 1979 LP "George Harrison," deserved to have been included too. I honestly feel these are the two best love songs George Harrison ever wrote, as a solo artist.

I'm sure if you are a Harrison fan, you have other favorites that you wish were included in this collection too. This collection is far from complete and doesn't include all his best music for this period.

I hope one day that this CD, along with the "Best of George Harrison" collection, will be permanently deleted from the Harrison catalog. In their place they should release a comprehensive "Best of" double CD collection that spans his ENTIRE solo career from 1970-2000, including his two Traveling Wilburys records.

I think George Harrison deserves a much better "Best of" collection that truly showcases his talent as a musician, singer and songwriter.

A solid collection!.......2006-11-14

This is a solid collection of Harrison's work from 1976 to 1989 and is a nice compliment to "The Best Of George Harrison" (which covers his pre-1976 work). There is one major omission from this CD, "This Song" from the 33 1/3 album which was top 40 hit in 1976. Other than that, this CD contains all the highlights from the period.

However, Harrison's work deserves a new, comprehensive collection spanning his entire solo career with all his hits and important songs in a single collection! His work merits it and his fans deserve it!

A review of George Harrison's underrated compilation album of 1989 .......2006-11-01

By 1989 George Harrison hadb been recording his music on his own lable, Dark Horse Records, for 13 years. He had also experienced a comeback in the music industry, with his first solo album in nearly five years, Cloud Nine and a collaboration with various other clebrities called The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, so now, with age cathing up, it was seemingly the perefet time for a solid recap of the Dark Horse Records years. To this end Harrison, or perhapse because he really wanted to retire, he compiled and released George Harrsion: The Best of Dark Horse, 1976-1989. Read on for the review. George certaintly suceeded this time and all of the songs are top notch George material. Favorites of mine include: Gone Troppo (1982), Got My Mind Set on You (1987), Cheer Down (1989), That's The Way it Goes (1982) and more. But there are three tracks in particular that I wanted to mention as I feel that at least two of them don't get as much credit and recognition as they deserve. The three tracks to which I refer are all from the 1989 period and two of them have not seen album release outside of this compilation. First off is Cheer Down (1989, by the way all three of these tracks are from 1989). Ths song was first heard in the 1989 movie Lethal Weapon 2 (great move, especially in directors cut version) and was made available on the soundtrack album for the film. With that soundtrack album ( and this compilation) out of print, this song has become very hard to find in its studio version ( there is a live version on the Live In Japan CD George did in 1991.) It's great! The Harrison-Petty lyric is razors sharp in terms of humor, and it, combined with the thumping rythm and guitar work by George make it an all-around feel good song about being happy (yes as far as I can tell eternal optimism no matter what the circumstances is the song's on and only message!) Cheer Down is well-liked and respected by Harrison fans and pretty well known for an 80s movie song. 5/5 Next up is Cockamamie Businsess by George Harrison. This 1989 track seemes as though its George complaining about the stress of being in show biz, as it were. The lyric is classic later George, whith tipical wit and mild cynasism. Its a fine song that really brings home the hard bpart of being in the buisnes from the point of view a witty, slightyl grumpy experienced old artist. The final touches of bass backing vocals and wonderful guitar work make a could-be classic, a great track well-produced and very enjoable. 4/5. Finally, my favorite track from 1989 tied with 'Cheer Down' the amazing Poor Little Girl. Written by Harrison this tune which redefins pop, is about saddness and lonlines and how horrible it is to watch people who are sad and lonley go about daily life. Sad and terrible as it might seem, it has a great melody and lyrics ( bonus points for using the word "horny" in a pop song!) Plus, agian, the message hits home with the exlllent and ever-extending refrain. Overall, its a great song , spreading warm feelings about love and care and how humans should care for each other and not stand by watching others got through life lonley and sad. All in all, love is a univewrsal feeling and Poor Little Girl earns the full 5/5 -- thus says Mr. Kertis the younger.

Contains indispensible Dark Horse tracks, why wasn't it remastered?!.......2006-08-14

I really like this album, and I bought it when it was still a reasonable price. Cheer Down and Poor Little Girl are great, and Cockamamie Business is good too, the latter two are only available on this compilation.
The Dark Horse Box Set has two mysteries, IMHO. The first is, only Live in Japan is a hybrid SACD (why not all hybrid SACD?), the second is why weren't the three aforementioned tracks remastered and included with the box set?? (there are more tracks, too, like Lay His Head, that should have been included)
But should you pay an unreasonable price, if you have money to burn, go for it, even if you're just in it for the great music, they're not...

Composer Patrick Doyle's first film score accompanied Kenneth Branagh's first movie as director. For both, Henry V (1989) is a triumph. Branagh's vision of the play is a far darker, more realistic depiction than the morale-boosting patriotism of Laurence Olivier's 1945 classic. Doyle's score had to follow in the footsteps of William Walton, but undaunted, the first-timer rose to the challenge magnificently. Briefed by the director to follow "Shakespeare's golden words" and be "as bold as possible," Doyle produced music of epic scope, lyrical passion, and descriptive imagination. The score has a real flavor of opera--a trait that would become familiar in all of this composer's later work--as Doyle underscores the great speeches (notably the St Crispin's Day speech) with a tangible sense of drama, but one that is always sensitive to the nuances of the words. Set-pieces such as the death of Falstaff and the visceral Battle of Agincourt stand out, but the entire score feels operatically through-composed, unified by Doyle's strong instinct for melody. The melodramatic climax of his "Non nobis, Domine" (that's the composer singing at the beginning) unashamedly rivals "Land of Hope and Glory" for--as Branagh puts it--"hummability." Quite how they coaxed Sir Simon Rattle and the CBSO into the studio remains a mystery, but the result is one of the best performed, most orchestrally luxurious soundtracks ever recorded. Patrick Doyle's later scores may be more refined (try Hamlet, for example), but none quite match the sheer exuberance of this debut. --Mark Walker, Amazon.co.uk

Customer Reviews:

Timeless Masterpiece.......2007-06-07

Even if you've never seen the movie, this entire CD is fabulous. All of the music is dramatic and beautiful. . . but my favorite piece is "Non Nobis" I actually had my parents walk down the aisle to it at my wedding last month and everyone was BLOWN AWAY!!!

Non Nobis Domine.......2007-05-29

I've wanted this for a long time, & it lived up to my expectations.

Beautiful soundtrack to Ken Branaugh's best Shakespeare film........2007-01-10

It is rare to have a magnificent film about Shakespeare's plays accompanied by masterful music, but this one is a must have for fans of both.

Passionate and inspiring.......2006-12-17

The renditions of Non Nobis Domine are unmatched and bring me to tears everytime I hear it. Again and again I must return to this score and play it at full volume and let it sweep me up in the emotion. A favorite soundtrack to a favorite movie and a favorite in my collection.

An Intriguing, Intense Score.......2006-02-01

This soundtrack has a dark intensity very appropriate for the play's setting and subject. It begins with an eerie, striking opening title, and continues with a well-sequenced series of emotion- and thought-provoking pieces, interspersed with Latin hymns and brilliantly rendered speeches. It stands very well on its own. My only complaint is that the recording level isn't perfect in the opening piece; the orchestra comes in too loudly after the flutes open that segment, reducing clarity of tone.
For other excellent Shakespeare soundtracks, try Jocelyn Pook's The Merchant of Venice--which is even more fascinating than this CD is--and the uplifting Much Ado About Nothing composed by Patrick Doyle. Try also to order an out-of-print copy of the two-CD set Shakespeare at the Movies.

Babes In Arms Review.......2006-11-10

It was refreshing to hear these songs in their original form. I actually could make out the lyrics to songs like Where or When and The Lady Is a Tramp.I also love Johnny One Note and Way Out West (On Western Avenue). I listen to the CD over and over and over. I would recommend it to anyone.

Terrific Recording of a Classic.......2006-07-22

Marvelous studio recording. Wish there were more of these of long lost shows.

Sparkling recording of Rodgers & Hart score.......2005-02-20

People who listen to this wonderful recording jump to the conclusion that the show is an overlooked classic. It isn't. The score is jam packed with standards, but the book... the book is a mess! Filled with unfunny jokes, sub-plots that go nowhere and bits of business that I doubt were even entertaining in 1937. Despite a slew of good reviews BABES had trouble attracting audiences until suddenly in teh summer it was the ONLY musical running on Broadway, and that helped it achieve a healthy run of 289 performances. But the show will never be revived except in concert.

Evans Haile is the real star hear, conducting the original orchestrations which swing in the best late 1930s tradition. The extended Ballet "Peter's Dream" is a bit repetitive but the rest of teh CD is pure gold. Really, this is the best way to enjoy BABES IN ARMS.

CORRECTION: The listing says "1989 Broadway Revival Cast" - it wasn't a revival: just a concert version.

The Rodgers and Hart Hit Parade.......2004-02-21

The score for Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's 1937 musical BABES IN ARMS is practically a catalog of hit songs: "Where or When," "I Wish I Were in Love Again," "My Funny Valentine," "Johnny One-Note," "The Lady Is a Tramp." Even the less popular numbers "Imagine," "All at Once," "You Are So Fair," and the title song are of fine quality (only "Way Out West" is slightly silly). The singers on this 1989 studio recording are all excellent vocalists (Judy Blazer and Judy Kaye particularly so), yet their voices are fresh and youthful-sounding enough for the juveniles -- "babes in arms" -- they are meant to be playing. But the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Evans Haile, is the real star of the recording. As the booklet notes explain, the show's original orchestrations have here been recreated, and the result is a charming sound that is authentically 1930's. As far as the orchestra is concerned, this is BABES IN ARMS as Rodgers and Hart themselves originally heard it.

Awsome.......2003-11-16

My brothers school put this play on recently and I just had to see it twice. I love it so much and hopefully will get the Cd soon.
