Customer Reviews:

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.

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.

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.

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

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

A Classic.......2007-02-24

I've talked to Bill about this album and I don't think it was one of his favorites because of the way it was recorded. It was indeed recorded very primitively and the mixing and sound is no more than adequate.

This is my 2nd favorite Bill Staines album because it represents Bill at the height of his creativity and many of his classic songs are on here. BTW: My favorite album is Sandstone Cathedrals.

If you like songwriting in the folk tradition, than the album is a MUST own. Side 2 is pure genius from start to finish(I had the album on vinal)

So... I recommend you get it!!!

Worth having because of Honey..........2006-09-20

... the Lion Dance and the fact that some of these arrangements work well out of context. Some of these songs in their original arrangements are diffiicult to listen to on their own. Regretfully, some of these arrangements are a little cheesy (for example the saxophone solo in this version of Loving You).

All in all, this is an okay compilation of some Sondheim songs, but definately one to get after having bought all the original Broadway cast recordings.

One of the best Sondheim compilation CD availiable.......2002-08-25

I love this CD, every track is a winner. Get it.

Honestly, Why Bother?.......2002-07-31

All in all, this is a pleasant enough compilation. There are no embarassing moments. The performers all acquit themselves nicely. But in the long run, there's really little to recommend this above the rest of the many tributes and reviews recorded of Sondheim's music. No new interpretations. No amazing performances. No inspired song choices. Nothing special here, folks.

Tony Osborne: an excellent pianist. Sound: 5 stars.......2004-11-28

This is an excellent album with beautiful arragments, the sound is very good. My favourites songs are Hey there and Call me.

Music from the movies and other romantic melodies.......2004-08-06

If you're a fan of easy listening music and like the Great American Songbook (Porter, Gershwin etc.) you'll love this cd. Tony Osborne is a very talented pianist whose cocktail piano style really comes through on many of the tracks here. My favorite is Kurt Weill's "Speak Low" with a beautiful arrangement by Tony which is perfect for dancing, closely followed by his versions of That Old Black Magic and Younger Than Springtime.
